Robert Howey, uncle of said Abraham Howey, and brother to Abraham Howey hereinafter mentioned died seized of lands. Said Robert Howey died without issue* and without disposing of his lands by his will dated 6 May 1773. The land descended to Abraham Howey, father of the aforesaid Abraham Howey afterwards died intestate**, whereby the lands descended to Abraham Howey, his son and heir-at-law. Land sold , 300 acres, to Charles Croxall for $500. Land bounds Delaware River. *One of our theories was that Robert died without issue since no children were mentioned in his will. This clears this up. ** Abraham did have a will (Sept 1773) but Robert died afterward and left Abraham his land. Abraham therefore, didn't include Robert's land in his will. There was no directive on this land. Sussex Co, NJ Deed Book L, p. 146-148, unknown repository.

NoteNOTES ON ROBERT HOWEY


     We believe Robert Howey was born about 1785 in then Delaware (now Lehman) Township.
Records indicate that he was the son of Bowdwyn Howey of Delaware Township. In 1815 Robert made a major impact on the fortunes of the Howeys of Delaware Township by regaining the 90+ acre trat that his father, Bowdewin, had lost by sheriff's sale to William Barnet 11 years earlier. Robert paid $300 for the land and we have never discovered how he came by such a sum. Robert died about 1820, leaving a wife, Charity and 5 young sons. He would have been about 35 years old then.
We have not discovereed what happened to this family but the records suggest that John Nyce, then Treasurer of Pike county, had a hand in helping them handle the loss. As Treasurrer, he first filed a complaint (1822) against Charity Howey for back taxes of $181.26 on the 90+ acre tract Robert purchased in 1815. He then purchased the 90+ acre tract at Sheriff's sale for the amount of the back taxes. For the next decade he held the title until 1832, when he conveyed it, by assignment, to William and John Howey, brother and cousin of Robert.
The following chronolgy depicts the events we have discovered in the short life of Robert Howey, and includes sources for the events described above.

    LOWER TOWNSHIP - A wanted Villas man attempted to escape through the attic vent in his home but was arrested by a police officer who got stuck with a syringe during the arrest.

    It happened on the 200 block of East New York Avenue on Tuesday evening. Police were looking for Robert Howey, 34, who was wanted on a warrant for contempt of court in a drug case in Superior Court. Police said they went to the home and spoke to his wife, Jennifer Howey, 34, who said he was not home. Police said they had seen Robert Howey enter the house.

    Police said they discovered Robert Howey in the attic attempting to escape through a vent, and when confronted, he resisted arrest and fell partially through the ceiling.

    When an officer patted Robert Howey down, he was stuck with an uncapped syringe. The officer was treated and released at the Cape Regional Medical Center.

    Robert Howey was charged with resisting arrest, while Jennifer Howey was charged with hindering apprehension.
