The Rounsavells originated in England before coming to Stratford, Connecticut, then to Southampton, Long Island, and finally to Hopewell, New Jersey in the early 18th century. That first couple to settle in Hopewell was Richard (1658-1704) and Hannah Rounsavell. I have begun this tree with their son Richard (c.1695-1775), even though they had one other son, Benjamin, and a daughter Martha. It was this second Richard who settled in Amwell Township, Hunterdon County.
As is the case with other family trees, my focus is on Hunterdon families. The families of Rounsavells who departed for other states, like Virginia and North Carolina, are not included here. Families of women named Rounsavell will only include their children and will go no further. If you want the complete family, do get a copy of Richard Rounsavell & His Descendants, Vol. II, by Mark S Rounsavall and Brian E. Rounsavill, 2002. I should add that author Brian Rounsavill was enormously helpful to me in preparing this tree. In fact, far more credit is due to him than to me.
As usual, I am happy to get additions and corrections to the tree. Please add them in the comments section below.
