Wills 14:1). She was the daughter of Jean and Sarah (Lake) Poillon (see John E. Stillwell, "Stillwell Genealogy", vol. 4 [New York, 1931], 60). END Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 22:28:17 -0400 From: "Pamela J. Sears" BEGIN ... interesting to note that Samuel Britton, b ca 1715, the son of Nathaniel Britton (1666-1729) and Elizabeth Gerritson (Britton Genealogy by Elmer Garfield Van Name, pp 6-9) seems to be a prime candidate to be the father of James Britton (who married Violetta Dissosway 28 Mar 1792, SICR p 269) and grandfather of James Guyon Britton (who married Frances Oakly ca 1834). Elmer V.N. does not carry the family of Samuel Britton forward, and not much is known about him (at least to this compiler), BUT, I do have his will abstract: New York Historical Society Collections Abstracts of Wills Vol IX 1777-1783, pages 14 & 15: Liber 31: Page 71.--"In the name of God, Amen, October 22, 1777. I, SAMUEL BRITTEN, of Richmond County being very sick. I direct all debts to be paid. To my wife Mary the use of all my estate, real and personal, while she remains my widow or until my youngest child is 21, she bringing them up and schooling them. If she marries, she is to have [pounds] 100 and a negro wench, and as much household furniture as will furnish a room. I leave all the rest of my estate to all my children, reconing for one, the child my wife is now pregnant with. Only to my eldest son, James, [pounds] 20 before any division. [Other children not named.] I make my wife and my uncle, John Poillon, and my brother-in-law, James Guyon, executors." Witnesses, Thomas Frost, Joseph Lake. Proved, November 22, 1777. NOTE: his "brother-in-law" James Guyon was named executor of his estate. I do not know if one of Samuel's sisters married James Guyon; if one of his brothers married a Guyon sister of James; OR, if Mary De Young had a sibling married to a Guyon. If this was his only marriage, then he certainly married late in life to Mary De Young as follows: Nelson, William. Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey Vol.22. The Press Printing and Publishing Co. New Jersey. 1900. Britain Samuel Staten Island Mary De Young New York 1764 Nov. 17 Samuel Britton & Mary his wife baptized their daughter Patience at St Andrews (SICR p 254) on 15 Dec 1766. The son James (mentioned in Samuel's will as eldest, perhaps born 1768-1770) could have been named in honor of Samuel's brother-in-law James Guyon, and the name carried forward into the next generation. There was a James Guyon married to Adriantje Poillon, the d/o Jacques Poillon & Francoise Billiou, who would have been a contemporary of Samuel Britton, but he died before Samuel executed his will. Adriantje Poillon's first cousin James Poillon (s/o Jean Poillon & Sarah Lake) had married Elizabeth Britton (sister of Samuel Britton above).
