Son of ANDREW OLIPHANT: This last, as appears from the official records of Pennsylvania, was Sergeant in Jan- uary, 1776, of Captain John Lacey's company of the Fourth battalion, Pennsylvania, commanded by Colonel Anthony Wayne. The same records say of this soldier : " He seems to have been in service in January, 1781, but neither his rank, regiment nor company is given." A manuscript of above- named Ethelbert P. Oliphant relates that Andrew Oliphant was at the battle of the Brandywine, and that the above-named John Oliphant served a term of three months in the War of the Revolution before he was 18 years of age. General S. D. Oli- phant, now of Trenton, New Jersey, a grandson of said John Oliphant, states that when a youth he was told by men of advanced years who knew said John Oliphant from early manhood that the latter, against the wishes of his parents (on account of his youth), left home, stole a Quaker neighbor's rifle, powder-horn and shot-pouch-with the consent and co- operation of said Quaker-and enlisted in Hand's Rifles of New Jersey. It is presumed that such enlistment was under an as- sumed name.

JONATHAN FRANKLIN PEIRCE, Real Estate, Milwaukee. Son of Angelina (Moulton) Peirce.
Daughter of Nathaniel Thayer Moulton.
Son of JONATHAN MOULTON: This last, a resident of Hampton, New Hampshire, took command of the Third regiment of that colony, August 24, 1775. This regiment he equipped at his own expense. He was at Saratoga in October, 1777. The records at Exeter, New Hampshire, and family tra- dition agree that the surrender at Saratoga was principally due to Moulton's sagacity and efficient aid on the field-General Gates being detained at the rear. The regiment which Colonel
1
79
Moulton commanded was during his command employed largely by detachinents, for the people of New Hampshire had their own sea coast to defend as well as to serve elsewhere. An invasion by sea was sometimes threatened and always feared, and Colonel Moulton was called to this service in the Revolu- tion. For his services in the war and for his generosity in equipping the Third regiment he received the title of General, and was given the township of Moultonboro', New Hampshire. He was born July 21, 1726, in Hampton, and died there Sep- tember 18, 1787.
