EDWARD WILLETT, bom 1731, died 1774, married Elizabeth Bodine, June 19, 1752, of Lebanon, N. J. (Dau. of Abraham Bodine and Adriantje Janse) He lived in Redington Co., N. J.
The author of Genealogy of the Miller and Pursel Families: "My theory is that Peter Willet, born 1757 and Abraham, born 1759, were also sons of Edward and Elizabeth Bodine Willet, and at the death of their mother they were taken to live with the Bodine family in N. J. Peter went to Albany. I have a record of "Peter Willet, married Helen Van Tassel in Albany, N. Y., Oct. 30, 1808 in Dutch Reformed Church". Many of the Willets married Dutch Reformeds.
Edward Willet (brother of General Marinus Willet) married first Elizabeth Bodine daughter of Abraham Bodine and Adriantje Janse. He lived at Readington Co., N. J.
Edward Willet married 2nd Mary Gale, Orange Co., N. Y„ Aug. 27, 1762. I have no record of the death of Elizabeth Bodine but it is reasonable to presume that Peter and Abraham were born between 1757 and 1760." [1]
