Individual Notes
Will of John Loofbourrow of Perth Amboy, Middlesex County, New Jerseydated 12 Apr 1749 and witnessed by Thomas Inglis and William Harrison. "All by estate to be at my wife's disposal. Eldest son, Wade, 5 shillings." William Harrison, son of the witness, made oath to the signature as being that of the testator. Gannatta Harrison, of full age (widow) made oath to the signature on the will. John died possibly by accident, for the brevity of his will, which was written on a torn scrap of paper would indicate that it was written "in Extremism". This unfortunate will caused dissension among John's children. The family scattered and his sons adopted different spellings of their name. John was a cooper (one who makes barrels and casks) who purchased landin Perth Amboy in 1719 from George Wilcox, bordering the property of William Harrison, and again in 1724 from George and Margaret Wilcox. In 1726 he was listed as constable for Perth Amboy and in 1738 he witnessed the will of David Lyell of the same place. In 1747 he served as a member of the jury in the case of the King vs. Robinson and the King vs. Loyse, for manslaughter. Found not guilty.
