Inv. 1829 Inventory held by the Department of State, New Jersey State Archives 11337L I have not found anything about how his estate was divided except for his grandaughter below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AN ACT to authorize a Trustee therein named, to sell a part of the Real Estate of Abram Creque, deceased.
  Whereas, it is represented to this Legislature, that Abram Creque, late of the county of Middlesex, and state of New- Jersey, died seized of a farm or plantation, situate in the township of West-Windsor, in said county, containing one hundred and thirty acres, more or less, and leaving a widow and several heirs at law, some of whom, by reason of their minority, are unable to join in the execution of a deed for the premises, which can now be sold on advantageous terms, if a title could be made for the same: Ani> Whereas, application has been made on the part of Ellen Nelson, who is one of the grand children of the deceased, and under the age of twenty-one years, praying a law appointing a trustee, to sell her share in the real estate of the deceased; which appearing to be reasonable, and for the interest of the minor, as her share in the said real estate is unproductive in its present situation; Therefore,

  Passed January 29, 1835. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ East Windsor, NJ: Not published, 1825. Original. not bound. Very Good. Few spots of foxing. Two documents, 6pp. Michael Lykes and his wife, Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Morford, deceased) appoint East Windsor attorney Elijah Davis. The lawyer is to represent them in selling certain lands in Middlesex County to which Elizabeth has claim as the only daughter and heir of Thomas Morford, who inherited the land from his grandfather, William Updike of Middlesex County, by terms of a will dated November 22, 1778. On the back of this first document, one Andrew Rowan attests that Elizabeth came before him on August 15, 1824, at which time he examined her without her husband and she agreed to give power-of-attorney to Davis. The second document, dated at Lamberton on 21 June 1825, comprises several testimonials that Elizabeth is the daughter of Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed, who "for many years lived together and cohabited as man and wife." Elizabeth Dye attests that she believes Morford and Reed were legally married. Sarah Reed (Lucy's mother) states that Lucy was married to Morford at age 19 without Sarah's consent, and that they had a daughter named Elizabeth. Inserted in this document is the testimonial of John Smith of Lambertville (NJ), who states that he officiated at the marriage of Elizabeth and Michael a few years earlier, believing that she was the daughter of Thomas Morford, who was the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Story, wife of Joseph Story of Story Farm. Also signing this document are Robert and Ann Taylor who attest to the lineage, and Abraham Creque who was in the house when Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed lived as man and wife.7.75". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From - Trenton Federalist 12 Aug 1803 "Notice All persons indebted to the estate of Joseph Smith, late of the island of St. Croix, deceased, by bond,note, or otherwise, are desired to make payment to the subscriber, by the fifth day of September next and all those having demands against said estate, are requested to exhibit their accounts properly attested for settlement.
