of this office, show that, William Gor. don, was in commission as second lieu- tenant of Captain Johr Boss' Company, Third Battalion, First Establishment, New Jersey Continental live. March 5, 1776; promoted First Lioutenant, July 19, 1776. This battalion served in the expedition to Canada and took an active part in the operations before Quebec in May and June 1776, He was conimi -. ion- ed captain in Third Battalion, second establishment, New Jersey Continental line, Nov. 29, 1776, and died in service in April 1777, during the Revolutionary War."
Adj. Gen. Stryker has also William Gordon, a minute man of Moumouth County Militia, also another a minute man in the Middlesex Militia, and also a William Gorden, who served as a private in the Fourth Company, Captain John Burrowes commanding, Colonel Oliver Spencer's Regiment. Continental Army, served in the Indian Campaign against the Six Nations in Western Pennsylvania from May to November, 1779, also served as a private in Captain Jonathan Holmes' Company, Second Regiment, New Jersey Continental line, during the Revolutionary War. There is tradition that William Gordon, the father of the "old sexton," was buried during his time, opposite the mon- ument to the "old sexton," and that his son William was buried in the same ploc of David Gordon. . These records are rory conflicting, who can give correct?
The following are certified records at Trenton : "It is certified, that the rec- ords of this office show that David Gor-
don served as a private in the Easter Battalion, Morris County, New Jemay. Milla; ako as a private io the New Jersey State Troops : also private ip che First Battalion, Second Esrabl.

October 19, 1871,-daring ala Reval- tionary War." The following the records from the War Departe Phi c. Washington, D. C., "The record vi this ofice show that David Gordon en- listed July 24, 1777, as a private in Cap- tain Jeremiah Ballard's Company, Med New Jersey Regiment, commanded : / Colonel Elias Dayton, Revolutionne; War to serve three years. His crowe an- pears on the rolls from June 1777, 10 August 1780, without additional data." The records also show that.

out additional data." The records further; show that, "David Gordon en- listed, date not stated, as a private in Captain Jonathan Dayton's Company, New Jersey regiment, commanded by Colonel Mathew Ogden, Revolutionary War, to serve during the war. He joincd March 1, 1758, and his name is borne on the rolls for March and April, without additional data."
As David Gordon was born Oct. 23, 1759, monumental record Sept. 22, it will show that he enlisted before he was 18 years of age, and continued in the service nearly six years. His father, Williama, was 40 years of age, and his grandfather, Joshua, in the 60's. David Gordon died July 23, 1852, the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Barnabas King from text, 1 Peter 4th chapter 7th verse.
Joshua Gordon may have had a broth- er William, as the first mortgage on rec- ord at Morristown, N. J., is as follows : "An abstract of mortgage from William Gordon and Jemima his wife, of Han- over, in the County of Morris, and Province of New Jersey, to David Ogden, of Newark, in the County of Essex, and province aforesaid. Dated the 5th July, 1765, of all that tract of land, situate lying and being at Hanover, in the County of Morris aforesaid, containing eighty.one acres and seventy-three `perches, and is bounded northerly and easterly, partly by the land of Benja- min Howell, and partly by the land of Zachariah Baldwin deceased, and south- erly and easterly by land of Samuel Parrit, being the plantation whereou the said William Gordon now lives and
by him purchased of Samuel Parrit, fc: the sum of one thousand and seventy. seven pounds and ten shillings current monoy of New Jersey at eight shifting - the ounce to be paid on the twenty-fi :. t day of May next, expiring the date of said mortgage with lawful interest for same.
Recorded the 8th day of August, 1765. by me -- A. MOORE, D. Clerk."
From this and other records it will show that this Gordon family was early flosated in Morris county, the exact loon- tion of Joshua and William is no! known, but it is probable at or nout Rockaway.
David Gordon, born 1759, enlisted July 24, 1777, and served in the Revolu. tionary War nearly six yours, as the rec- ords show, married while on furlongh Mar. 17, 1780, Nancy Southard, a daugh- ter of Timothy, Jr., who lived at or near Rockaway.

1795, by Ebenezer Coe, J. P., and a mar. riage (2) to Elizabeth Perkins, probably sisters, Mar. 2, 1790, by Rev. John J' Carle, of Rockaway. He bad children : Lewis, born Dec. 14, 1791, who married Hannah Gard, daughter of Captain Daniel, and died Ang. 1876 ; Isaac, who lived near Boonton, was murdered and robbed by George Ackers or Ackerman, who was hung for the murder at Morris- town about forty years ago. Isaac had a son Samuel in the war of '61-5, and died near Boontou July 1900. Eliza, married John Harvey ; Charles, Deborah, married Michael Dolen ; Sarah, married John Mills ; Stephen, Amanda, married John Thorn ; Hanuah, married Godfrey Maun.
Lewis, and Hannah (Gard) Gordon lived at or near Berkshire Valley, and had children : William A., born Mar. 26, 1820, married Amy C. Dickerson, died Apr. 1, 1861. She was born Apr. 26, 1824, died Ang. 5, 1895. Both buried at Berk- shire Valley. Daniel Gard, born Jan. 25. 1824, married Sarah E., daughter of Benj. H.

Since writing the above, I have copied the following facts taken from the original Bible Records of Timothy Southard, now in possession of Frederick Gordon, of Boonton. This important record will correct some stato ments found in the Southard and Pahuer familles, and is further connected with the Gordon family. The records were formerly held by David Gordon, the "old sexton."
Timothy Southard, born Oct. 6, 1758, married Susanna Sworden May 15 1762. Tradition has that Timothy Southard served in the Revolutionary War, and died from the effects of ser. vice Jan. 31, 1777. At the bottom of said record, in another hand writing, i- Timothy Southard died Jan. 31, (date of year torn), aged 40 years, 3 months and 25 days, this would make date of death as above.
Susanna Randal died Oct. 16, 1796, aged 55 years. She was born Apr. 20. 1741, and married secoud John Randal. of Deuville. Susanna Sworden had ? sister Sarah, who married Stephen Beach and lived opposite Denville dopor. All are probably buried at Rockaway, but no records of samo. Children : Anne, (also called Nancy), born May 4,
David Gordon, or Gauden, a probable brother of Joshua, born about 1724, and died Feb. 7, 1790, was resideut at Rock- away, and mentioned in the old records. | 1763. She married David Gordon, died

choseu words of the English language. Words of three or more syllables were frequently contracted to two in proper names, with accent on the first. This Harriman or Herriman was reduced to Herman, and occasionally written so. Harrison to Hars'n, Casterline to Catlin, Shawanguck to Shongum, Elizabeth- town to 'Lisbeth, New York to York. Custom "nick-named" the given-uames of persons, "and sometimes wholly changed them. The final e and the abominable final k were seldom used in writing which probably gave Webster the American idea.

Isaac Whitehead and wife Mary Brown bad children born at New Haven : Susanna. Isaac, Mary, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph ;.

Che Bill Family.
Family tradition has it that Peter Hill came from Germany and first settled in Vermont, where he married Anne Mar- garet, or Marguerite, name unknown. She was of French descent from the early settlers of Vermont. The family, as nearly all the children were born in Vermont, came to New Jersey and sot- tled about one mile north of Morris Plains, or what is now known as Sires farm, in 1768, if not previous to that date. Both were received by letter at the Presbyterian church at Morristown, July 30, 1789, at which time their young- est child, Abigail, was baptized. She was born probably in Morris Plains Apr. 8, 1769. No further records of Abigail. Peter Hill was born in Germany 1721, date of marriage in Vermont unknown. Died at Morris Plains of asthma Jan. 18, 1781. His wife was born 1780, died Jan. 18, 1782, of fever, just five years pre- vious to the death of her husband ; baried at Morristown.
