GEDCOM Note

Elizabeth Owle Leet was the mother of Mary Leet Chadwick by her first husband, Daniel Leet. John Chadwick ADOPTED Mary Leet after his marriage to Elizabeth (Owle) Leet. Thus Mary's maiden name is really LEET and not CHADWICK.

The name of the wife of Charles , Mary Chadwick, appears in deeds, & three of these make it explicit, particularly one under the date of 1702, in which Charles is Grantee for fifty acres of land near Mount Carmel, in Burlington Co., from John Dixon & Elizabeth his wife, (late the wife of John Chadwick'). This land was part of a tract purchased by John Chadwick on March 18, 1689. Charles later sold this land back to John Dixon on July 20, 1704. The largest tract of land purchased by Charles & important because it led to the removal of his family from Burlington County, was made by a deed bearing the date of March 2, 1714. He purchased from William Biddle, who he had purchased land from previously, 1,665 acres in Amwell Township (Rosemount, NJ area) for the price of 350 pounds silver. It is known that he remained there the rest of his life and raised his family. This land is noted as being next to John Reading's land. John served on the State Supreme Court along with Charles . John's son later inherited this land and he served as a Governor of New Jersey. Charles is noted in the State Records as being a Judge of the New Jersey State Supreme Court. He also farmed the land that he purchased. The family Bible is reportedly in the possession of a Wolverton family member in the St. Petersburg Florida area. Together Charles and Mary had 9 children.
