    Notes:

    WILLIAM COMPTON OF IPSWICH
    It has been accepted by the Compton family genealogists that a son of the previous JOHN COMPTON of Roxbury and Boston, was that WILLIAM COMPTON, located at Ipswich, Mass., who bought land there of Daniel Ladd in 1662. (Savage, Vol. I, p. 439) (See N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., Vol. VI, 1852, p. 248 and 346.)
    SALTER, (1890, p. XIX, of Gen. Rec.), where the author makes it appear that there were two William Comptons in New Jersey who were contemporaneous. This is not correct.

    WILLIAM COMPTON was in Gravesend, L. I., in 1656, (vide, ante, PART TWO, p. 162, and in Monmouth Co., a First Settler, 1667, (idem, p. 172.)

    He was called "planter," and as early as 1669 his name appears in the deed records relating to Woodbridge. (Arch., Vol. XXI, pp. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15.)

    The following entry of 1675, "Here begins the Rights of Land due according to the Concessions." (N. J. Arch., Vol. XXI, p. 18.)

    "William Compton and wife."

    This wife was Mary Wilmot, (1635-1713) (Nat. Soc. Daus. Amer. Col., Vol. I, p. 316) whom he m. in 1666. The dates of WILLIAM COMPTON, 1631-1709(?).

    According to the Vital Records of Woodbridge, William Compton, Senior, died there, Friday night, Sept. 21, 1694. His estate and will are disclosed by the following:

    "1694 Oct. 2. Testimony of Edward Watson and Richard Smith and wife, Ellener, Concerning the intentions expressed by William Compton of Woodbridge, who died Friday night, Sept. 21, 1694. Mentions a wife, sons--Jonathan, John, William, David.

    1694, Oct. 2. Letters testimonial with the will of William Compton annexed, issued to his widow Mary and to Jonathan Compton." (Arch, Vol. XXI, pp. 215.)

    1694 Oct. 1. Inventory of the estate; made by John Langstaff and Jabish Hendrick." (Arch., Vol. XXIII, p. 104.)

    From other deed and will records, the following children are certainly identified.

    I. Mary, born, the first white child in Woodbridge, Nov. 1667-8, who married, Jan. 1, 1695-6, Caleb Campbell. (Vide, ante, this PART, p. 515.) (Also, PART THREE, p. 373.)
    II. John, born Jan. 2, 1669.
    III. Sarah, born July 25, 1670; d. Sept. 16, 1670.
    IV. David, born, July 21 (26) 1671.
    V. Sarah, born, June 1, 1673; m. Dec. 9, 1697, John Drake of Piscataway.
    VI. Jonathan, born Dec. 18, 1674. The foregoing from the Woodbridge Vital Records.
    VII. William, Junior, b. (???).
    VIII. Cornelius, b. (???).
    IX. Richard, b. (???).

    William married WILMOT, Mary 21 Sep 1666, Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey. Mary was born 1635, Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; died 1713, Woodbridge, Middlesex, New Jersey. [Group Sheet]
