Son of William Webster Sr & Mary nee?
Research suggests that his mother's maiden name was NOT Mary Mosley, (revised 12-2017). Note: a Mary Moseley was married in 1696 to a William Webster in Boston, Massachusetts. Wrong place and too late in time, (based on birth dates of their children), so not our William Webster (SR). By Kenneth Kinman/ Wiki Tree.
Per Ambrose M. Shotwell: Annals of Our Ancesters, 1895. Pg 12.
William (*Jr), b. 19 Jan. 1692-3, at Wood- bridge, N. J., m. of 3 mo. (May) 1717, to Susannah Cowperthwait(e).
The following is copied from the records of the Society of Friends: — "Att our monthly meeting held att our meeting house att Woodbridge ye 18th day of the 2 mo. 1717. Grace Kinsey and Mary Trenury presented William Webster & Susanna Cowperthwait to this meeting who declared their intention of taking each other in marriage, it being the first time. This meeting appoints John Laing" & John Shotwell, Jun., to report in ye man's clearness in respect to marriage with any other and into his conversation.
" And on " ye 16th of the 3rd month, 1717, Elizabeth Shotwell and Ann Brotherton presented before this meeting [of Men Friends], William Webster & Susannah Copperthwait who declared their intentions of marriage, it being the second time and on enquiry made, nothing appearing to obstruct, this meeting leaves them to their liberty to consummate their intentions of marriage according to the good order of truth. And it was left to the care of John Kinsey to provide them a certificate."
William Jr., grew up on on the Webster Homestead & farm, recently known as "Martine Farm", built in 1718, by his father, William Webster, Sr.. Source: Genealogy of Some Vail Family Descendants of Thomas Vail.
The Webster Friends were of Scotch origin. William Webster, the founder, settled east of Plainfield about 1685. His descendants have always lived on adjacent territory. William Webster's oldest son was William Webster, Jr., born in 1692. He married Susannah Cowperthwaite and soon afterwards began housekeeping - about 1718-20 - not far from this spot, on a large farm through which Cedar Brook ran, and which probably extended to Green Brook. This pioneer's home was on the south side of the stream where Prospect Avenue now crosses. In this home, one of the earliest inland settlements, were eleven children born, and here the Webster homestead remained for generations. Source: The Story of the Friends (Quakers) in Plainfield

19 Jan 1693 is the New Style date, and 19 Jan 1692 is the Old Style date. William Webster Jr. couldn't have been born on 19 Jan 1692 because his sister Hannah was born 18 September 1691 (just 4 months earlier).
