PELLET
John W. Pellet was born 6 April 1815 at Pellettown, Frankford Township,
Sussex County, New Jersey the son of Obadiah Pellet and Charlotte Westbrook
and was the eighth child of fourteen children of this marriage. He was
of the sixth generation of Pellets in America, a descendant of Thomas Pellet
of Concord,
Massachusetts and through his grandmother, Mary Bradford Pellet he
was descended from William Bradford, a passenger on the Mayflower. John
m. Sarah Ann Wyker born 1815 Sussex County, New Jersey the eldest child
of Henry Wyker and Mary VanSickle. John and Sarah were farmers residing
at Pellettown. John was bequeathed a total of 336 acres of land in the
Will of his father, appointed guardian of a niece and nephew, and was one
of the three executors of his father's will dated 14 January 1846 to
which was added a codicil 18 April 1848. His father died 12 May 1849
and was buried in the Beemer Meeting House Cemetery near Pellettown. John
and Sarah had a son die in March and a daughter die in April of the same
year who were buried beside their grandfather. Four years later another
son died who was buried beside his brother and sister and John's mother
died 19 April 1854. Seven days after her death, John sold his land in Pellettown
and removed with Sarah and five children to the central part of Wells Township
where many Sussex County, New Jersey families had settled. In May 1854
John W. Pellet purchased 216 acres of land from William S. Ingals and in
July 1857 he purchased 54 acres of land from John F. Gillette. The Pellet
farm was located on the main road between Coryland and Mosherville and
their dwelling house was on the west side of the road. Their daughter,
Mary married in 1856 George W. Noble who resided on the Noble farm situated
two farms south of the Pellet farm. The Pellet family perhaps attended
the Presbyterian Church at Aspinwall (now Coryland) in Wells where their
eldest son was buried who died in 1860 and in 1863 another son died who
was laid to rest beside his elder brother. In 1864 John and Sarah sold
the 54 acres to Aranthus Hyatt and in 1865 they sold the farm of 216 acres
to Daniel Dalrymple. They remained in Wells, renting the farm they had
sold. In 1869 the name of John W.
Pellet appears on a list of names of those who contributed money to
move the Presbyterian Church at the state line to French Mill's (now Mosherville),
John contributing $2. At this time the family perhaps attended the church
which had been removed to French Mill's (now Mosherville) as it was in
closer proximity to their residence. Daughter, Alice died in 1873 and is
buried in the Mosherville Cemetery. John and Sarah lost six of their nine
children in death before attaining adulthood. Sarah Pellet was alive in
1880 when she was enumerated in that year's federal census, but when she
died is unknown. Every
possible record has been researched and many individuals contacted.
She presumably died sometime in the 1880's or 1890's. The date of John
Pellet's death was recorded in a letter written by a granddaughter, Grace
Pellet Whitney, who was in search of her Pellet ancestry and in records
of Frances Asenath Howell who recorded many of the Pellet descendants.
Grace Pellet Whitney in a letter to John J. Stanton, a cousin and Pellet
descendant, wrote "My father passed away June 24,1912. My grandfather died
July 3,1892. They with my mother and grandmother are buried in the Mosherville
Cemetery, Wells, Bradford Co., PA. The infant daughter of my parents is
also buried in the same plot. She was the second child, her name was Charlotte."
John Pellet d. 3 July 1892 and is buried in the Mosherville Cemetery. No
monument marks his grave or that of his wife, Sarah. Buried on the same
lot is daughter, Alice and son, John A. Pellet and his wife, Mary Elizabeth
Davy and their daughter, Charlotte who died in 1873. Neither John or Mary
have monuments, only Alice and Charlotte.
