This land was situated on the north bank of Crosswicks creek, between the old Abbott and Watson tracts, and the old cemetery known as the Pearson graveyard is on this Tindall tract, and in all probability the graves of the earlier members of the Tindall family are located in it. He owned land in Burlington County, New Jersey. 1 He was born in England. 2" 3
