[S18785] The Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell 1867-1949 of Elmira New York, 121.
Bartholomew Corwin was an only child, his father [Sheriff] George dying when Bartholomew was three years old. The lack of close family ties in Salem was doubtless a factor when later in life he decided to move his residence to New Jersey where he made a new home in Hunterdon County at Amwell. Here he and his English born wife, Esther Burt, lived with their six sons and it was here that he died in 1747 aged 54 years.
Of these six sons, all born at a time to meet in maturity the problems of the War of the Revolution, only Joseph Corwin born 1724 survived this conflict which had so great a degree of strain for those who could not accept the break with England. Three of the six sons died at a early age; another, Samuel, lived until 1776 and another named George died in 1780 near the end of the War.
