Text: William (4) NORCROSS died before 1763 as evidenced by the deed executed by Rebecca Petty NORCROSS then a widow, which reads in part -

April 20, 1763 - "Rebecca Petty NORCROSS, a widow of the city of Burlington, Burlington Co. N.J. sold to William Smith 164 acres of land which was formerly owned by her father William Petty, and was conveyed to her brother John Petty -- she is now the sole heir of her father, and is to receive 15 pounds for parcels of land which she now sells to William Smith."

                   This is the only known record of the existence of this John Petty.

April 20, 1763 - "Rebecca Petty NORCROSS, a widow of the city of Burlington, Burlington Co. N.J. sold to William Smith 164 acres of land which was formerly owned by her father William Petty, and was conveyed to her brother John Petty -- she is now the sole heir of her father, and is to receive 15 pounds for parcels of land which she now sells to William Smith."

The following ties this Burlington West Jersey line together.

Paraphrased from the Petty Papers, Vol. 12, No. 2 (1990), Barb McGee, Editor: Rebeccas sworn statement after the death of her husband while claiming an interest in the Estate of John Petty, brickmaster, her Uncle, is quite instructive.  This must be the same proceeding as the 1765 entry of John Petty, brickmaster, where his 1712 Will was probated.  She states that she is the daughter of William Petty, Jr. and that William Jr. and John were brickmasters and brothers.  Deed #460,169 dated 10 Nov 1702]
