THE SCHOOLERS
When Peter Bourne of Essex County died, Charles Taliaferro was executor of the estate. He and Thomas Schooler and William Smith presented the last will and testament to the court on October 18, 1720, and made the necessary oath regarding its authenticity. (Court Order Book 1716-1723, p. 517) The will was proved on November 15, and Thomas Schooler was an heir. He received "four shay and 1 two year old Hiefor." (Will Book 2, 1717-1721, pp. 218-219) Peter also mentioned his brothers John and Robert, and his half brother Richard Johnson
What was the relationship of Thomas Schooler? Several researchers, including this writer, have assumed that Thomas Schooler married a Bourne. However, further research does not support this conclusion. Andrew Bourne, the father of Peter, John and Robert, died by 1700 in Richmond County, leaving his wife Christian. She remarried, this time to Henry Johnson, who already had a family of his own. When Christian died, she left a will naming her sons: John, Robert and Peter. (Essex County Deeds & Wills, 1711-1714, p. 152) There was no mention of Thomas Schooler or a daughter who could have married him. Henry Johnson had died in 1703, and his will named his four children: Richard, Sarah, Katherine and Anne, "and my wife.
(DB 11, p. 27) Again, no mention of Thomas Schooler. Therefore, we are left to wonder why Thomas was mentioned in the will of Peter Bourne. Perhaps they were just good friends.
