  • Notes 
    • [Shinn.ftw]

      Thomas Shinn, son of John Shinn, Sr., was born in England and came to America
      with his father probably between 1675/80. He married first Sarah Shawthorn in
      Burlington County, NJ in1688, and she apparently died shortly thereafter, since
      the Church approved his marriage to Mary Stockton in 1692. Thomas died
      about two years later leaving one child (Thomas) and an unborn child (Samuel).
      Thomas' will shows him to have been a slaveholder, one of the earliest in New
      Jersey; the will also shows four brothers (John Jr., James, George and
      presumable the sibling named Francis was a male).

      Son of John Shin and wife, Jane Garwood Shinn, born in 1666 in Suffolk, England who arrived in Burlington County New Jersey between 1678 and 1680.

      Married Sarah Shawthorn on 9 Feb 1687 in Burlington County NC per U.S. Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935. Sarah died there about 1692.

      Married Mary Stockton, daughter of Richard Stockton and wife, Abigail Bloonfield Stockton, on 6 Mar 1693 in Burlington County NJ per U.S.Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935.

      Their first child, Thomas, was born 6 Jan 1694 in Burlington County NJ per U.S. Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935

      Thomas wrote and signed his Will on 8 Nov 1694. It was proved on 15 Dec 1694 so death occurred between those two dates. He lists his wife, Mary, ("my now wife") and son, Thomas, and his expected child (Mary was pregnant with their son Samuel when Thomas died). Also mentions Thomas's 4 brothers. His father John Shinn Sr is one of the witnesses of the Will being signed.Source New Jersey, Abstract of Wills, 1670-1817
