Mary's marriage request to Thomas Shinn is an confirmation that Thomas had previously been married. We know his first wife to have been Sarah Shawthorn Shinn. [1] He married Mary Stockton on 6 January 1691 in Springfield Township in Burlington, New Jersey. (Uncertain.) Together they had: Thomas Shinn Samuel Shinn On page 612, Liber B. New Jersey Deeds, in office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, we ascertain that on Dec. 28th, 1697, Mary Shinn, widow of Thomas Shinn, had consented to marry Silas Crispin of Pennsylvania, and before doing so arranged for the property which had descended to her from her husband to be held in trust and managed for the use and benefit of her sons, Thomas and Samuel Shinn. The trustees, as recited in the deed, were Richard Stockton, Jr., brother of said Mary, and John Shinn, Jr., brother-in-law of said Mary, and the property consisted of all the lands and a negro boy, "Jabby," [could also be Toby or Tabby] given her by her late husband by will dated November 4, 1694. |
