Mr. Pierpont said to John Murdock, "If you will change your name to Pierpont and marry Sarah, I will give all my property to you." John was wise, and he accepted the proposition.
John realized that he bore a cumbersome name and he, for short, cut it to plain Robert Pierpont. He came to Liv- ermore in 1805 and as Dea. Livermore was getting along in years, he resigned his active labors, and his real estate passed to Pierpont.
