Godown Family Tree

The first of the Godown family to appear in Hunterdon County was Jacob Godown, born about 1675. He was present in Burlington County in 1703 when he was listed in the accounts of the estate of Joseph Adams. But at the time, Hunterdon did not yet exist.

The first land purchase I am aware of took place in 1707, when Jacob Godown bought 200 acres from William Biddle, as recited in H. C. Deed Book 3 p. 297. Unfortunately, I do not know if he wrote a will as there isn‚Äôt one recorded in Hunterdon. Therefore, Jacob‚Äôs wife is unknown. In fact, all I know about his family is that Jacob Sr. had a son, Jacob Jr., who had one son Evans, who will be treated as First Generation for this tree.

Children of daughters are included, but not grandchildren. Surnames of spouses whose families also have published trees on this website are highlighted in green. Any corrections or additions are welcome in the comments section below or by email.
