Upper Freehold Twp, Monmouth Co., NJ
Written: May 26, 1806
Recorded: October 23, 1806

Monmouth Co., NJ Deed Bk Q p 219 written 26 May 1806, acknowledged 31 May 
1806,  recorded  23 Oct 1806.  Elijah and Prudence Horner to Barzillai Horner 
both of  the twp of Upper Freehold in Monmouth Co., NJ. Land originally 
purchased in 1738 by John and Samuel Emley.  Samuel Emley sold 203 acres to 
Benjamin Horner 19 May 1739, recorded Burlington Liber K, folio 333 (Bk K p 
333).  Benjamin died intestate and land went to his son Benjamin Horner who 
also died intestate and land went to Elijah as Benjamin's heir. Elijah sold 37 
acres one rod and two perches south of Beaver Dam Brook, neighbors Samuel 
Potter and Robert Webb. Land about one mile east of the old Province line run 
by George Keith 10 Oct 1774. Witnesses John Antram and Henry Moore.  Elijah 
and Prudence both signed with their “O” mark instead of an X.


Additional Comments:
Note: this deed proves Elijah Horner's father was named Benjamin as was his 
grandfather and that they both died without leaving a will.  Since Benjamin 
Sr  purchased 230 acres and Elijah is selling 37 acres there were probably 
other heirs who could be found by checking the Burlington and Monmouth deed 
books.  
Elijah moved to Butler Co., OH by 1807 when he was on a tax list. He moved to 
Gratis twp Preble Co., OH in 1820 where he died in 1824.
