Notes for RICHARD MATLOCK:
From the Matlock websit in UK 23 May 01 JWM
'The following singular circumstance was communicated to the Author by a respected inhabitant of Matlock Bath, who conversed with the party named:-A person engaged in Mercantile affairs in New York came to Liverpool on business, in 1816, and finding himself on his arrival, not far distant from Matlock, he felt exceedingly desirous to visit it, being the birthplace of his ancestors, and from whom, in his youth, he had heard some wonderful things respecting it. He came accordingly. On conversing with the parties here, he stated that he always understood that hot water flowed out plentifully at the foot of the hill where his ancestors resided. He gave his name as Timothy MATLOCK. This name being singular, and no one recollecting such a name, search was made in an old Parish Register, where the following entries were found -
"Richd. Filius Thos. MATLOCK, Baptized April 28th 1660.
Grace the daughter of Richd. Thos. baptized May 1st, 1661"
It would appear that the place alluded to was the Upper Wood, a small hamlet, as all the hot springs issue out at the foot of the hill below it ; and this somewhat confirms the idea already thrown out, that this was the original Metesford.'

[Written in a footnote at the bottom of page 25 ]:
'Filius' means son of.

Note: This is a second version of William Matlack arriving in New Jersey.
Curtis Miller
William Matlack came in the ship "Kent", Gregory Marlow master.The number of passengers in this ship was 230, mostly of the people called (Quakers) and some of them had good estates in England.They landed the 16th day of 6 mo. 1677 at Chester and also about Rackoonlerak on Delaware River where the Swedes had some scattered habitations but insufficient to receive or
accommodate them.This was the second ship, which arrived at West Jersey with passengers.After their arrival the commissioners visited Thomas Olive, Daniel Wells, John Kinsey, Joseph Helmoley, Robert Stacy, Benjamin Scott, Richard Grey, and Thomas Jaulke proceeded up the river to the place where Burlington afterwards was built, then called Chygoe's Island, from the Indian Sachem who lived there.Here they treated with the Indians and on the regulation of their settlements.William Matlack being the first man in the company that put his foot on the said Island, and afterward helped Thomas Olive build two of the first houses there, being a carpenter about 20
years of age, and served Thomas Olive four years.The place of his nativity was Cropwell Bishop in Nottingham Shire, England, he married Mary Hancock in 1682 and settled in Penshawken.(Note:This information was recorded by T. ChalKley Matlack.)William Matlack born 1648 came to America 6mo 1666 married Mary Hancock and settled in Penshawkin.
End
Note: Following information added by Curtis Miller:
I believe the following quote was also recorded by T. ChalKley Matlack. 'William house was built in the year 1709 as appears on the thump latch of the door now in being as I have seen.'The following information is from an article from the Courier Post. It can
be found on the Internet by searching for William Matlack.William Matlack came across the Atlantic as an indentured servant.
Matlack, a skilled carpenter, worked off his debt to his master Daniel Wills in four years. He helped in the building of the first two houses in Burlington as well as the first corn mill.The article also contains information about land acquisitions by William
and some of his descendentsA weathered gravestone in the 500 block of Balsam Road, Cherry Hill, N.J. marks the grave of William and his wife Mary. I found third source that says William was the indentured Servant of Thomas Olive. This source also makes note of another source that says he was indentured to Daniel Wills. This source suggests Olive and Wills, whowere both commissioners, may have shared William Matlack's indenture.
Conjecture: Were the two houses for them?
Note added by Curtis Miller:
This account states William and Mary were married in 1681. Both accounts under William state they were married in 1682. I have chosen to use the 1682 date.
End (JWM)
William Matlack and a party of Quaker settlers came to America (1681?) on board the ship "Kent" (Capt. George Marlow).He was endentured to Danile Wills.They settled in New Jersey and founded the town of Burlington where he was a carpenter.His family spread through New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Also sent by Dan Rundle: From Descent of the Ridgway - Ridgeway Family in England and America by George C., Ridgway, Evansville, Indiana, second ed., 1926, pp 55. It was used only to show the type of records available for the early settlements of New Jersey and Pa. No other mention is made of the Matlack family in the book.
Know all people that I, Tallaca, have had and received from John Roberts with the consent of the neighborhood at Pensukin one match coat, one small runlet of rum and two bottles of rum. In consideration thereof, I, said Tallaca, do hereby grant, bargain and sell unto said John Roberts, Timothy Hancock and William Matlack all of those plantations at Pensukin, promising forever to defend the said John Roberts from all other Indians laying claim thereto. In witness whereof, I, the said Tallaca have hereunto set my hand and seal this 12 day of April, 1684.
Tallaca (by X) Since William Matlack and Timothy Hancock were brothers-in-law, it pretty Well identifies which William this was.
Notes for Mary Hancock:
Mary Hancock left England to marry William Matlack.She landed in Burlington, NJ in 1680.
" William's wife Mary died 20th 11 mo 1728-9 aged 62 years.She came from England in the ship "Paradise" and was married in 1681 to William Matlack about the 16th year of her age.William house was built in the year 1709 as appears on the thumb latch of the door now in being as I have seen."
