The following information is in addition to that found in the NEHGR article. My report on William GIFFORD and his descendants will be periodcally updated as more information is added.

William Gifford was persecuted as a Quaker in Sandwich. In Oct 1660 he was fined an enormous sum and probably had to hurriedly move his family to avoid going to jail. He likely went to Dartmouth, MA, where a number of Quakers settled. William's oldest daughter married a man from Dartmouth in Oct 1665. The marriage took place in Sandwich, so William was back in Sandwich by then.

In Oct 1664, the English captured from the Dutch an area which included most of present-day New Jersey. This was the start of a large migration of New Englanders into New Jersey. Sometime during this period, William GIFFORD purchased land near Long Branch in Shrewsbury Township, Monmouth County, from John JENKINS of Sandwich. This probably happened around 1668, when the two men also exchanged land in Sandwich.1

Some sources claim that William GIFFORD was one of the proprietors to whom the Monmouth Patent was granted on 8 Apr 1665. That is not true. The 12 men who signed the Monmouth Patent were William Goulding (Golden), Samuel Spicer, Richard Gibbons, Richard Stout, James Grover, John Bowne, John Tilton, Nathaniel Sylvester, William Reape, Walter Clark, Nichols Davis and Obadiah Holmes.1

We don't know if William GIFFORD ever lived in Monmouth County, but his land there was divided in half for the intended use of his sons Annaniah and Christopher. Annaniah GIFFORD settled on his land by 12 Sep 1673, when he was included on a list of Shrewsbury male inhabitants compiled by the military.1 Christopher's half of the land was sold by William GIFFORD back to John JENKINS on 14 Apr 1681. Christopher does not seem to have lived in New Jersey very long (if at all), even though his name continued to appear in the Monmouth County land records until he cleared up the matter in 1689.2,3

Quaker pioneer Christopher HOLDER arrived in Sandwich in 1657 and converted many residents there to the new faith. William GIFFORD's son Christopher was no dobut named after Mr. HOLDER.

A number of online sources have William GIFFORD dying on 9 Apr 1687. That was the date of his will. The probate records clearly state that William died on 27 Dec 1687.

William GIFFORD's will has son Robert listed after son Christopher That would make Robert only 19 when he married ... possible but unlikely. He was probably born about 1656.

Annaniah GIFFORD is number 3 in the NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA. Click here to see the page(s) about Annaniah GIFFORD

The excellent NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA did a thorough job of following the descendants of William GIFFORD ... EXCEPT FOR THE NEW JERSEY LINE. The authors studied Annaniah Gifford, but relied on someone else for information on his descendants. The New Jersey GIFFORDs were only followed a couple of generations and some of Annaniah's grandsons and great-grandsons were misplaced on the family tree.

The exact year of Annaniah GIFFORD's birth is not known. The earliest possible date is 1644 because older siblings John and Patience were probably born no earlier than 1640 and 1642 respectively. The latest possible date is 1654 because his younger brother William was born no later than 1656. Annaniah's father, William GIFFORD, had 7 children (John, Patience, Annaniah, William, Christopher, Robert, Mary) that were born between the early 1640s and the early 1660s (as well as 2 sons that were born in the 1680s). The first 7 children could have been by one wife. But it is more likely that John and Patience were by a first wife and William, Christopher, Robert and Mary by a second wife. Annaniah is the one child who could belong to either set of children. If he was born near either the beginning or end of his possible birth date range, then there is a nice gap between the sets of children. A later birth date for Annaniah fits better with the fact that his oldest grandson was born around 1700. All of this leads to the conclusion that Annaniah GIFFORD was probably born in the early 1650s.

Annaniah GIFFORD was probably born in Sandwich. He could have been born in England since his father emigrated from there between 1643 and 1647.1

A number of sources claim that the mother of Annaniah GIFFORD was Elizabeth GRANT or Patience RUSSELL. No evidence has been found, though, to definitely tie either of these women to William GIFFORD. The link to a Patience RUSSELL may have resulted from the fact that one of William's great-grandsons, also named William, married a Patience RUSSELL in 1746 in Dartmouth, MA. Somebody probably mistakenly subtracted 100 years from the 1746 marriage date.

In Oct 1664, the English captured from the Dutch an area which included most of present-day New Jersey. This was the start of a large migration of New Englanders into New Jersey. Sometime during this period, William GIFFORD purchased land near Long Branch in Shrewsbury Township, Monmouth County, from John JENKINS of Sandwich. This probably happened around 1668, when the two men also exchanged land in Sandwich.1

We don't know if William GIFFORD ever lived in Monmouth County, but his land there was divided in half for the intended use of his sons Annaniah and Christopher. Annaniah GIFFORD settled on his land by 12 Sep 1673, when he was included on a list of Shrewsbury male inhabitants compiled by the military.1 Christopher's half of the land was sold by William GIFFORD back to John JENKINS on 14 Apr 1681. Christopher does not seem to have lived in New Jersey very long (if at all), even though his name continued to appear in the Monmouth County land records until he cleared up the matter in 1689.2,3

After the division of New Jersey in 1675 and the establishment of the General Board of Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey, Annaniah GIFFORD went through the required paperwork to become the legal owner of his land near Long Branch. On 1 Dec 1676, he received a warrant to survey 240 acres + meadow.8 In 1681, he paid quit rent on 286 acres in Shrewsbury Township. 186 acres were listed in the name of Christopher GIFFORD, so Annaniah had added 100 acres to the original land.9 Finally, on 20 Jan 1687/88, Annaniah received a grant for the 286 acres from the East Jersey Proprietors.10 He had purchased 4 acres near Raccoon Island from William SCOTT on 10 Dec 1684 to make a total of 290 acres near Long Branch.11

Annaniah GIFFORD also owned land on the Shark River in Monmouth County. On 15 Jan 1685/86 he petitioned the East Jersey Proprietors as an 'old settler.12' On 4 Dec 1686 (Stillwell has 1685, but that would have been before the petition), he received a warrant to survey 100 acres on the south side of the Shark River in Shrewsbury Township.1 The land was surveyed on 22 Jun 1687.1,13 A grant for the 100 acres was issued by the East Jersey Proprietors on 1 May 1688.14 Annaniah had also obtained the rights to 5 acres of meadow on the north side of the Shark River from Nicholas BROWN. These 5 acres were sold to Francis JACKSON on 4 Mar 1694/5, but some Shark River land probably remained in the GIFFORD family until at least 1755. In that year, Annaniah's grandson Joshua GIFFORD was listed in church records as from Shark River.15,16

On 7 Sep 1688, Annaniah GIFFORD purchased from Francis JEFFERY the rights to a 1/128 part of a 1/24 part of East Jersey.17 In 1740, these rights were sold by grandson William GIFFORD to grandson Benoni GIFFORD and probable relative Peter PARKER. Benoni and Peter received a warrant to survey 151 and 9/10 acres, but the exact location of the land has not yet been determined.18

In 1692, Annaniah GIFFORD decided to move. On 10 Mar 1691/92 he deeded his 290 acres near Long Branch to Richard STOUT, and in exchange, received 200+50 acres on the north side of the Manasquan River. The deed for the Manasquan land was recorded in Monmouth County. No deed has been found for the Long Branch land, but it was mentioned in two later deeds from the STOUT family. These later deeds have two different dates for the original deed. One has 4 Mar 1691/92 and the other has 10 Mar 1691/92 (the NEHGR article only has the 4 Mar date). Since the date on the Manasquan deed was 10 Mar 1691/92, that was probably also the date on the Long Branch deed.

Annaniah GIFFORD's land on the Manasquan River was in present-day Wall Township, which was formed in 1851 from Howell Township, which was formed in 1801 from Shrewsbury Township. It was on the north side of the river straddling an old bridge about 2 miles north of present-day Allenwood-Lakewood Road.

Annaniah also owned land on Barnegat Beach. He was mentioned as a boundary in a grant from the East Jersey Proprietors dated 1 Sep 1694.19

No will has been found for Annaniah GIFFORD. Under the law of primogeniture which was still being used in New Jersey at that time, if a person died intestate the eldest son usually inherited all of the land. This seems to be the case with Annaniah and his land. Eldest son William sold the original 200 acres of the Manasquan GIFFORD homestead to his brothers Joseph and John in deeds dated 13 Feb 1709/10.20,21

The unusual name "Annaniah" was spelled many ways in the older records. Sometimes there was an "H" in front, or an "s" at the end instead of an "h", or a single "n" in place of "nn". "Annaniah" seems to have survived as the preferred spelling.

Annaniah GIFFORD was married by 1 Dec 1676. This is known because the warrant he received on that date was for a married man's allotment of land (240 acres @ 120 acres per person) "in Right of himself and his wife".8

Annaniah GIFFORD's wife Elizabeth has been listed in a number of sources as the daughter of Eliakim WARDELL and Lydia PERKINS. Eliakim WARDELL's daughter Elizabeth, however, probably married Samuel WHITE. The confusion arises because Elizabeth GIFFORD was a witness to the marriage on 29 Mar 1681 of one of Eliakim WARDELL's daughters, and it is wrongly assumed that this witness must be Eliakim's daughter Elizabeth. Witnesses were often related to the bride or groom, however, so Elizabeth GIFFORD could still be part of the WARDELL family as the niece of Eliakim. Eliakim did name his oldest son Joseph.22

Annaniah GIFFORD may have had a first wife who he married in Sandwich. Would he have come to New Jersey as a single man without any relatives? It's possible that his father came to New Jersey for awhile to help him get settled. But Annaniah may have migrated with a first wife and some of her family. Also, there is circumstantial evidence that the widow Elizabeth was young enough to only be a second wife ... she remarried after 1712 and lived until 1729.

The mother of Annaniah GIFFORD's son Joseph probably came from a family with the name Joseph in it since that name did not appear in the GIFFORD family before Annaniah. She could have been a part of the WARDELL family. She could have been the sister of Joseph PARKER, who settled near Long Branch from Portsmouth, Newport Co, RI. She could also have been a close relative of Joseph WEST or Joseph LAWRENCE. Both of these men owned land on the Manasquan River. These are the only Josephs found so far who lived near Annaniah GIFFORD.

Most sources only list 3 sons for Annaniah GIFFORD, but there is good evidence that he may have had a fourth son named Annaniah or Joshua. This is because of the given names chosen by Annaniah GIFFORD (born 1703). Annaniah1703 named his 3 sons Amos, Annaniah, and Joshua. The birth dates of this family are found in "The Havens Family in New Jersey" and probably came from a bible record. The 3 sons were born right after the marriage, with no gaps for a missing son. It would have been very unusual at that time for a man not to have named one of his earlier sons after his father. The name Amos appeared in his wife's family, so Annaniah1703's father was likely named Annaniah or Joshua. No records have been found for an early Joshua. There was an Annaniah GIFFORD named as a boundary in a 1718 deed. But the boundary information was copied from an earlier deed and could refer to the original Annaniah even though he was deceased. The Havens book lists Annaniah1703 as a son of the original Annaniah.23

Annaniah and Elizabeth GIFFORD were not recorded as members in the monthly meeting records of the Shrewsbury Society of Friends (Quakers), but their names appear a few times as witnesses to marriages. On 6 Nov 1674, Annaniah was a witness to the marriage of Restore LIPPINCOTT and Hannah SHATTOCK. On 29 Mar 1681, both Annaniah and Elizabeth were witnesses to the marriage of Ephraim ALLEN and Margaret WARDELL. On 7 Jul 1692, Elizabeth was a witness to the marriage of John LIPPINCOTT and Sarah HUETT. And on 12 Oct 1712, Elizabeth was a witness to the marriage of Abel PRESTON and Meribah SLOCUM. No vital records for any GIFFORDs are found in the Shrewsbury Quaker records.22,1

There was an Annaniah CONKLIN in Salem about 1639 whose descendants settled in Monmouth County.

There was an Annaniah GAUNT who was born in Sandwich in 1646 and later lived in Burlington Co NJ. His father, Peter GAUNT, was from Lincolnshire in England.

There was a Catharine GIFFORD, daughter of Samuel BURROUGH, who died at age 50 on 15 Aug 1741 and was buried in St. Peter's Church Cemetery. There was an old St. Peter's Episcopal Church in both Freehold and Perth Amboy. Could Catharine have been the second wife of Joseph or John?

There are a number of broken branches on the New Jersey GIFFORD family tree. I tried to place them back using educated guesses when no records were available.

Elizabeth was born in maybe in Sandwich, Plymouth Co, MA. Elizabeth GIFFORD married (second) Thomas GREEN after 12 Oct 1712.1,22 She died shortly before 11 Dec 1729 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.24,25,26

Many sources have Elizabeth GIFFORD's second husband as John GREEN. However, in Monmouth County deeds dated 22 Sep 1716 and 16 Jul 1722, John GREEN was listed as from Newport, RI. The 1722 deed listed 3 brothers ... John, Henry also of RI, and Thomas of Shrewsbury (deceased). Thomas was in Manasquan by 8 Mar 1700/01, so Elizabeth probably married Thomas GREEN, not John GREEN.27,28

A death date of 29 Nov 1729 for Elizabeth (GIFFORD) GREEN has been floating around the Internet but the source for that date has not been found.

An inventory of the estate of Elizabeth (GIFFORD) GREEN was taken on 11 Dec 1729 in Monmouth Co, NJ (debts due by Joseph GIFFORD Sr.). Administration of the estate of Elizabeth (GIFFORD) GREEN was granted to Joseph GIFFORD on 6 Jun 1730 in Monmouth Co, NJ (Joseph GIFFORD was described as her son and heir).29,25

Known children of Annaniah2 GIFFORD and Elizabeth were as follows:
  1.  12.  William3 GIFFORD was born near Long Branch, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married (first) Margaret PARKER (probably PARKER). He married (second) Sarah. He died shortly before 8 Apr 1723 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

  2.  Joseph GIFFORD was born near Long Branch, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Hope. He died after 9 Sep 1734 but probably before 1748.
         
    Joseph GIFFORD is number 15 in the NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA. Click here to see the page(s) about Joseph GIFFORD

    The name Hope does not appear later in the GIFFORD family, so Joseph may not have had any GIFFORD descendants who stayed in Monmouth. Joseph was referred to as Senior in 1729. Junior could have been his son or nephew.

    Joseph GIFFORD bought land in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, from William GIFFORD on 13 Feb 1709/10 (1/2 of the main 200 acres of the Gifford Manasquan homestead, not recorded until 12 Aug 1730).20

    William GIFFORD and Joseph GIFFORD witnessed the 7 Mar 1718/19 will of Benjamin ROGERS of Shrewsbury.

    Joseph GIFFORD was granted administration of the estate of Elizabeth (GIFFORD) GREEN on 6 Jun 1730 in Monmouth Co, NJ (Joseph GIFFORD was described as her son and heir).29,25

    Joseph GIFFORD and his wife Hope sold land in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to William JEFFREY on 18 Aug 1730 (1/2 of the main 200 acres of the Gifford Manasquan homestead, acknowledged on 14 Mar 1731/32 and probably recorded shortly after).30

    Joseph GIFFORD took an inventory of the estate of Nathaniel BILLS Jr. on 9 Sep 1734 in Monmouth Co, NJ (this was probably the Joseph who married Hope because Joseph Jr. was probably not old enough to be given the responsibility).31

    Joseph GIFFORD witnessed the will of Anthony PINTARD dated 15 Aug 1743 Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.31

    Joseph GIFFORD was not listed in not 1748 as a freeholder in Monmouth Co, NJ.

    Hope was born in New Jersey.

    In the 26 Jan 1738/39 minutes of the Quarter Sessions court, Hope GIFFORD was bound in recognizance in the sum of twenty pounds to ensure good behavior. Was this Joseph's wife or a daughter of theirs?

  3.  13.  John GIFFORD was born near Long Branch, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Mary CAMMACK, daughter of Nathaniel CAMMACK and Mary WEST. He died after 5 Sep 1730 and probably before 12 Oct 1736 near Manasquan, Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

  4.  Annaniah (maybe Annaniah) GIFFORD was born near Long Branch, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.
         
    There is a legend in the family of Annaniah born 1773 about 5 Annaniahs in a row. This would be the case if there were a 4th son named Annaniah. Then Annaniah born 1702/03 would be the son of this 4th son.

  5.  14.  (one of the sons of Annaniah) GIFFORD was born near Long Branch, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

Jane LORING was born on 9 Aug 1663 in Hingham, Plymouth Colony.1 She died on 24 Nov 1744 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co, MA, at age 81.4

Harry E. GIFFORD's genealogy incorrectly has Jane (LORING) GIFFORD dying on 14 Apr 1700.32

In his will dated 26 Jul 1712, Josiah LORING mentioned his daughter Jane GIFFORD, wife of Samuel GIFFORD, and his grandson Josiah GIFFORD.1

The NEHGR article has a son Joseph for this William. That Joseph, however, was the youngest son of William2 (William1).

The name of William and Experience's son born 13 Jul 1728 is very hard to read in the original records on FamilySearch. The NEHGR article and later transcriptions have the name as William, but it looks more like Nathan to me.

The NEHGR article has the births of Ann and Patience recorded in North Kingstown RI. They were actually recorded in Jamestown RI.

The NEHGR article lists a daughter Abigail, but no information has been found on her. Do they mean the granddaughter Abigail?

  1.  Ann4 GIFFORD was born on 5 Jun 1715 in Jamestown, Newport Co, RI.6 She married William CONGDON between 1732 and 1733.1 She died shortly before 3 Feb 1795 in North Kingstown, Washington Co, RI.1
         
    Four different marriage dates have been found for Ann GIFFORD and William CONGDON. The NEHGR article has 30 Mar 1732. North Kingstown records have 29 Feb 1732. South Kingstown records have 28 Feb 1733. Ancestry Public Trees have 6 Apr 1732.

    William CONGDON was born on 6 Nov 1711 in North Kingstown, Newport (now Washington) Co, RI.1 He died on 14 Oct 1755 in North Kingstown, Washington Co, RI, at age 43.1

Josiah GIFFORD is number 13 in the NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA. Click here to see the page(s) about Josiah GIFFORD

The NEHGR article has Josiah's birth date as 17 Feb in one place and 27 Feb in another. The Sandwich town records clearly have 27 Feb.

The NEHGR article says that Josiah was living in Falmouth in 1733. He was named executor in the will of his brother William GIFFORD of Falmouth (died 1733), and refused to serve. However, it does not say that Josiah was of Falmouth. Josiah GIFFORD's nephew, Josiah GIFFORD of Sandwich, was called Josiah Jr in his 1750 marriage record and also in the birth records for his children to Nov 1754 (but not 1756 and 1758). This implies that the older Josiah died in Sandwich in 1755 or 1756.4

Known children of Josiah3 GIFFORD and Mercy CHADWICK were as follows:
  1.  21.  Rhoda4 GIFFORD was born on 17 Feb 1715/16 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co, MA. She married Silas GIFFORD, son of Jonathan GIFFORD and Lydia ABBOTT, before 1737. She died circa 1809 in Dartmouth, Bristol Co, MA.

William GIFFORD is number 14 in the NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA. Click here to see the page(s) about William GIFFORD

William GIFFORD may have been the son of Annaniah GIFFORD by a first wife.

William GIFFORD's first wife was probably the daughter of Joseph and Margaret PARKER. Joseph and Margaret PARKER lived near the GIFFORDs in Long Branch and their son Peter probably married Elizabeth GIFFORD as his first wife. Peter PARKER bought land from Annaniah GIFFORD (his nephew?) in 1735 which was just above the main part of the original GIFFORD homestead. And he bought inherited GIFFORD land with Benoni GIFFORD (his nephew?) in 1740. The given names Margaret and Josiah also match very nicely. No daughter named Margaret is listed for Joseph and Margaret PARKER in the Quaker church records. But she would have been born about 1672 or 1673, which could be just before the birth records began or just before her parents joined the church.

William GIFFORD and his wife Margaret sold land in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to Joseph GIFFORD on 13 Feb 1709/10 (1/2 of the main 200 acres of the Gifford Manasquan homestead, not recorded until 12 Aug 1730).20

The above 2 land records show that William GIFFORD probably inherited all of his father's land under the law of primogeniture that was still in use in New Jersey at that time. Where did William live? Did he inherit land from his mother?

William GIFFORD and Joseph GIFFORD witnessed the 7 Mar 1718/19 will of Benjamin ROGERS of Shrewsbury.

An inventory of the estate of William GIFFORD was taken on 8 Apr 1723 in Monmouth Co, NJ.38 Administration of the estate of William GIFFORD was granted to John PINTARD and Anthony PINTARD on 13 May 1723 in Monmouth Co, NJ (William's widow Sarah and son William had declined to administer the estate).38

    The death date that is supposedly on Jane GIFFORD's gravestone does not fit at all with her age on the gravestone and her birth record in the Sandwich town records.

    The NEHGR article has a birth date of 19 Mar 1733 for Weston GIFFORD, but that is too close to his sister.

  6.  Sylvanus GIFFORD was born on 20 Aug 1738 in Falmouth, Barnstable Co, MA.4 He died between 26 Aug 1749 and 10 May 1755.1

John GIFFORD was an attorney. He was procured by the MATHEWSONs of Warwick RI to lodge a complaint in the name of the King at the January 1760 session against Benjamin COGGESHALL for neglecting his duty to provide for his wife Comfort (PEARCE) (MATHEWSON) COGGESHALL's children by her first marriage. Coincidentally, John's sons Peleg and Josiah married daughters of Comfort.47

John GIFFORD's age at death has him born about 1728, but that makes him too young to have married in 1744/45. He was probably born about 1723. The "32" in his age at death could be a "37".

Margaret died in 1801 in Exeter, Washington Co, RI.36

Some researchers have Margaret's maiden name as WAITE while others have it as SWEET. If it is SWEET, then her mother's maiden name was probably WAITE.

    Sarah (PEARCE) GIFFORD appeared in the 1790 US census in Providence, Providence Co, RI (Sarah GIFFORD, 2 females).

    A death notice for Sarah PEARCE appeared in the 26 Jan 1793 issue of the Providence Gazette, Providence, Providence Co, RI (in 49th year, incorrectly reported as 79th year in the William Gifford NEHGR article).6

    Ann GIFFORD appeared in the 1800 US census in Dartmouth, Bristol Co, MA (Anne GIFFORD, 2 males 10-16, 1 male 16-26, 1 female 45+, this may not be the daughter of Silas because there are 3 other 45+ females listed with Silas's widow).

    Ancestry Public Trees have Ann GIFFORD dying in 1796 in Indiana. This seems unlikely for someone who didn't marry. They probably mean "after 1796", the date of her father's will.

    Susannah GIFFORD was baptized on 4 Aug 1771 according to the First Congregational Church of Falmouth records. The Whitefield ME town records, however, have her born 14 Jun 1774. Maybe the first Susannah died young and there was another daughter named Susannah born in 1774 whose baptism didn't get recorded. That would work better with the 1800 census also and would leave less of a gap between Susannah and Love.

    Jesse CROWELL was born on 23 Dec 1775 in Falmouth, Barnstable Co, MA.4

  11.  59.  Love GIFFORD was born circa Jun 1778 in Falmouth, Barnstable Co, MA.

    Grace (GIFFORD) SISSON's age at death gives a birth date of about 16 Sep 1761. Her brother Stephen fits better being born in 1761, so maybe Grace was born in 1763. Her age at death could have been calculated incorrectly ... adding 1 to 80 instead of subtracting 1 from 80.

    In 1783, Nathaniel SISSON, wife Grace and daughter Content were granted a certificate from the Nine Partners Monthly Meeting to the Saratoga Monthly Meeting.

    On 19 Jan 1802, Grace SISSON and Benjamin GIFFORD of Queensbury, Washington Co, NY, quit-claimed land in Dartmouth (now Westport) to Chadwick GIFFORD of Westport. The land was their interest in the real estate of Peleg SHEARMAN and Benjamin SHEARMAN late of Dartmouth (now Westport).

    Nathaniel SISSON was maybe 11 Jul in Dartmouth, Bristol Co, MA.54 He died on 10 May 1840 in Queensbury, Warren Co, NY, at age 83.54 He was buried in Friends Burying Ground, Queensbury, Warren Co, NY.

    On 30 Sep 1848, Benjamin GIFFORD, declined to administer the estate of his brother Chadwick GIFFORD and recommended Joseph GIFFORD of Dartmouth. Benjamin SISSON, Charles S. GIFFORD, Benjamin R. GIFFORD signed as principal heirs.

    On 3 Oct 1848, Joseph GIFFORD of Dartmouth was appointed administrator of the estate of Chadwick GIFFORD late of Dartmouth.

    On 5 Feb 1850, an account of the estate of Chadwick GIFFORD was recorded with the following money being paid as shares of his estate: Charles S. GIFFORD $1,430.76, Benjamin R. GIFFORD $1,430.76, James SISSON $317, Daniel SISSON $317, --ty (female) PECK $317, Joseph and Lydia HOWLAND $317, William SISSON $320, Stephen SISSON $320, Nathaniel SISSON $320, Leonard SISSON $323, right above these people Benjamin GIFFORD was listed as paid $2,825.

  4.  Ruth GIFFORD was born in Massachusetts.

  5.  61.  Benjamin W. GIFFORD was born circa 1777 in Massachusetts. He married (first) Cynthia in New York (Cynthia left Benjamin in 1808). He married (second) Phebe BROWN, daughter of Justice BROWN and Desire MOSHER, in New York (before the 1810 census). He died between the 1860 census and the 1865 census in Ellery, Chautauqua Co, NY. He was buried in Lewis Cemetery, Ellery, Chautauqua Co, NY.

26. William4 GIFFORD (William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in the very late 1690s or very early 1700s in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He and Hannah ASHMORE obtained a marriage license on 8 May 1727 in Burlington Co, NJ.40 He and Catharine TAYLOR obtained a marriage license on 16 May 1734 in Burlington Co, NJ.40 He died in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ.

William GIFFORD moved south, probably not too long after the death of his father. He settled in Little Egg Harbor Township, Burlington (now Ocean) County. A number of other Monmouth County families also moved to that area.

William GIFFORD probably married twice. William GIFFORD of New Jersey, yeoman, and Hannah ASHMORE of New Jersey, spinster, obtained a marriage license on 8 May 1727. William GIFFORD of Little Egg Harbor, Burlington County, yeoman, and Catherine TAYLOR of [not listed], spinster, obtained a marriage license on 16 May 1734. Both of these marriage licenses were recorded in Burlington by the same Governor's Secretary (Samuel BUSTILL). Burlington was where all marriage bonds from West Jersey were recorded. The NEHGR article has Hannah ASHMORE as the widow of John ASHMORE of Hunterdon, but she was called a 'spinster' on the 1727 marriage license.40

The children of William GIFFORD are not definite. DNA testing strongly suggests that Jonathan and Isaac and Benjamin were sons. Joseph is placed as a son because he lived in Somerset Co NJ, where Isaac was supposedly living before he moved to PA. Most of the GIFFORDs who lived in Gloucester Co NJ were probably descendants of William, but there could have been an unknown brother or cousin of William who left no paper trail.

William GIFFORD sold land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to Benjamin "Benoni" GIFFORD and Peter PARKER on 3 Mar 1739/40 (a 1/128 part of 1/24 of East New Jersey, recorded Liber AB, page 16, William was described as "formerly of Manasquan but now of Egg Harbor" and as the "undoubted heir of Hananiah Gifford").55,18

There was a Mary GIFFORD who was given a bed in the 1763 will of Samuel ANDREWS of Little Egg Harbor. She was not his daughter. Who was this Mary? She was probably not married in 1763 since Samuel felt the need to give her a bed. Could she have been an unmarried sister of William GIFFORD of Little Egg Harbor?

Known children of William4 GIFFORD and Hannah ASHMORE were as follows:
  1.  62.  Timothy5 GIFFORD was born say 1728 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ.

  2.  63.  Joseph GIFFORD was born say 1730 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ. He died after 1775 in Franklin Tp, Somerset Co, NJ.
Catharine TAYLOR was born probably in Middletown Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

There was a Mary TAYLOR who married Mordecai ANDREWS on 12 Dec 1723 in Little Egg Harbor. Her possible brother-in-law, Samuel ANDREWS of Little Egg Harbor, left a bed to a Mary GIFFORD in his 1763 will.

He married Hannah JENNINGS, daughter of Thomas JENNINGS and Ann BORTON, on 20 Dec 1759 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ (20da 12mo 1759). He died on 29 Jul 1825 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ, at age 86. He was buried in Quaker Cemetery, Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor Tp, Ocean Co, NJ.

  4.  William (maybe William) GIFFORD was born say 1741 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ.
         
    There was a William GIFFORD in Deerfield Tp in 1773/4 who may have been the son of William of Little Egg Harbor Tp. He is currently placed as the son of Benjamin/Benoni4 (William3, Annaniah2, William1 of Sandwich MA).

  5.  Abraham GIFFORD was born say 1743 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ. He married Catharine FURY/FUREY, bond posted on 16 Oct 1771 in Burlington Co, NJ.40 He died after 20 Jan 1794 when in Burlington Co, NJ.
         
    Abraham GIFFORD is listed as a son of William because he lived in Little Egg Harbor.

    The NEHGR article has this Abraham (probably incorrectly) as a son of the Abraham who married in 1741 in Monmouth Co. There were two Abraham GIFFORDs who served in the Revolutionary War. One in Isaac ANDREW's Little Egg Harbor Company and one in the Loyalist New Jersey Volunteers (died 1 Apr 1777).

    Abraham GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ, in 1773.57

    Abraham GIFFORD was listed on a 5 Oct 1776 muster roll in Capt. Isaac Andrews' Little Egg Harbor Company of the Burlington Militia.31

    Abraham GIFFORD has not been found yet in the 1793 census (this was a military census of males between the ages of 18 and 45 ... could pay to be exempt).

    The name of Abraham GIFFARD of Burlington County was on one of 13 petitions, dated 20 Jan 1794, to the Council and General Assembly from inhabitants of Burlington County supporting a law allowing the inhabitants of the county to decide by vote where to build the new court house.

  6.  66.  Isaac GIFFORD was born on 19 Apr 1745 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ. He married Elizabeth M. He died on 31 Aug 1823 in Tell Tp, Huntingdon Co, PA, at age 78. He was buried in Upper Tuscarora Presbyterian Cemetery, Lack Tp, Juniata Co, PA.

  7.  67.  Benjamin GIFFORD was born say 1747 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ. He married Mary JOHNSTON, daughter of Joseph JOHNSTON and Sarah, bond posted on 16 Jun 1774 in Gloucester Co, NJ. He died shortly before 18 Mar 1799 in Port Republic, Galloway Tp, Gloucester (now Atlantic) Co, NJ.

27. Annaniah4 GIFFORD (William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born on 10 Mar 1702/03 (maybe 1703/04) in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.58 He married Mary HALSTEAD, daughter of Jonas HALSTEAD and Sarah WILLIAMS, on 27 Jan 1732/33 (maybe 1733/34) in Monmouth Co, NJ.58 He died after 29 Sep 1770 in Shrewsbury (now Brick) Tp, Monmouth (now Ocean) Co, NJ.59

Annaniah GIFFORD sold land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to Peter PARKER on 24 May 1735 (45 acres, north side of Manasquan River, sold by Peter 18 Feb 1737/38, this land was just north of the main 200 acres of the original GIFFORD Manasquan homestead and may have been the extra 50 acres of that homestead).60

The above land record could refer to the father of this Annaniah if the original Annaniah had a 4th son named Annaniah.

Annaniah GIFFORD bought land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, from David ALLEN on 8 Jun 1742 (north side of Manasquan River, maybe surveyed 13 Jun 1753, this could be the land that passed down to his sons Annaniah and Joshua).

Annaniah GIFFORD was listed in 1748 as a freeholder in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

Annaniah GIFFORD of Squan was appointed an Overseer of the Highways for Shrewsbury by the Quarter Sessions Court on 25 Jan 1748/49 in Monmouth Co, NJ.

In 1753 in the Quarter Sessions Court, Abraham STOUT accused Elisha STOUT Jr. of Manasquan and Ananiah GIFFORD of Manasquan of trespassing.

Annaniah GIFFORD of Squan was appointed a Constable for Shrewsbury by the Quarter Sessions Court on 24 Jan 1754 in Monmouth Co, NJ.

Annaniah GIFFORD was not listed in not 1755 as a freeholder in Monmouth Co, NJ (He may be the Uriah listed in Monmouth Co).

Annaniah GIFFORD took an inventory of the estate of Joseph JEFFREY on 26 Apr 1755 in Monmouth Co, NJ.61

Annaniah GIFFORD was mentioned in a boundary when Stephen FRAZEE and his wife Hannah sold Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to Joshua GIFFORD on 23 Mar 1769, south side of Manasquan River, recorded 28 Jul 1800, the original deed was clarified on 29 Sep 1770, it included land "where the said Joshua Gifford and his father now dwells", Joshua was called Joshua Jr. singleman.59

Many sources have this Annaniah incorrectly dying in 1758. That Annaniah was Annaniah4 (John3, Annaniah2, William1). He wrote a will in 1753 which mentioned children Stephen, John, Zilpha, Hannah, Phebe (all under age).

Annaniah GIFFORD's 3 sons were born soon after his marriage, with no breaks in dates for another son to have been born. The name Amos came from the HALSTEAD family, so it would make sense if Annaniah's father was named Annaniah or Joshua. If his father was named Annaniah, that would also agree with there being a 4th son of the original Annaniah named Annaniah. Annaniah born 1703 could also be a son of the original Annaniah.

Mary HALSTEAD was born on 11 Nov 1705 probably in Hempstead, Nassua Co, NY.58 She probably died before 29 Sep 1770 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.59

Known children of Annaniah4 GIFFORD and Mary HALSTEAD were as follows:
  1.  Amos5 GIFFORD was born on 30 Nov 1734 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.58 He probably died young in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.
         
    There was an Amos in the HALSTEAD family, a probable nephew of Mary (HALSTEAD) GIFFORD.

    Some online sources have Amos GIFFORD dying on 15 Jun 1829, but that was his brother Annaniah.

  2.  68.  Annaniah GIFFORD was born on 18 Feb 1735/36 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Mary HERBERT, daughter of Isaac HERBERT and Freelove WOOLLEY, bond posted on 13 Nov 1758 in Monmouth Co, NJ. He died on 15 Jun 1829 in Howell (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, at age 93.

  3.  69.  Joshua GIFFORD was born on 18 Aug 1738 (maybe Jun and maybe 1737) in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Amy JOHNSTON as her first husband. He died on 30 Nov 1800 (maybe 1 Nov) in present-day Allaire, Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He was buried in Quaker Cemetery near Manasquan, Wall Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

  5.  Sarah GIFFORD was born on 6 Feb 1741/42 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (maybe 1742/43).58 She probably died young in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

28. Benjamin "Benoni"4 GIFFORD (William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Sarah. He died before 14 Jul 1760 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

"Ben Oni" means "son of my affliction" in Hebrew. Benjamin "Benoni" GIFFORD's mother probably died giving birth to him.55

The children of Benjamin "Benoni" GIFFORD are not definite. Some of the children could belong to an unknown brother or cousin who did not appear in the 1748 freeholder list.

Benjamin "Benoni" GIFFORD bought land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, from William GIFFORD on 3 Mar 1739/40 (a 1/128 part of 1/24 of East New Jersey, recorded Liber AB, page 16, William was described as "formerly of Manasquan but now of Egg Harbor" and as the "undoubted heir of Hananiah Gifford").55,18

Benjamin "Benoni" GIFFORD was listed in 1748 as a freeholder in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

Benjamin "Benoni" GIFFORD was not listed in not 1755 as a freeholder in Monmouth Co, NJ.

Benoni GIFFORD was mentioned as a boundary in a survey of land on the "north main branch of Raco [Wreck? Racoon?] Pond" on 16 Jan 1762. The boundary information, however, could easily have been out of date.

Known children of Benjamin "Benoni"4 GIFFORD and Sarah were as follows:

29. Joshua4 GIFFORD (William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Hannah DEAN, bond posted on 5 Apr 1740 in Monmouth Co, NJ.62 He died shortly before 26 Feb 1793 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.63

Joshua was a rare name in early Monmouth County. It appears in many branches of the NJ GIFFORDs and probably came into the family very early through a wife of the original Annaniah.

Joshua GIFFORD was listed in 1748 as a freeholder in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

On 24 Nov 1750, Joshua and Hannah GIFFORD were baptized as adults into Christ Church in Shrewsbury. Also baptized at the same time were 3 of their children: Ann (age 8 years and 10 months), William (age 7 years and 5 months), and Joseph (age 1 year and 7 months). Their 4th child, Annaniah, was baptized on 23 Sep 1755, presumably as an infant. At that time, the family was listed as living in Shark River, probably near the present-day town of Belmar.16,64

Joshua GIFFORD was not listed in not 1755 as a freeholder in Monmouth Co, NJ.

In 1767, Joshua GIFFORD purchased land from Obadiah BOWNE on the north side of the Manasquan River 2 miles above the lower bridge. Which Joshua was this?

Both a Joshua GIFFORD and a Joshua GIFFORD Jr served in the Revolutionary War from Shrewsbury. This Joshua must have been the older Joshua, even though he was probably in his late 50s.

Joshua GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, between 1779 and 1789 (50 acres of improved land).66

In 1780, Joshua GIFFORD paid a supply tax. A descendant of his used this to become a member of the DAR.

Joshua GIFFORD was not listed in not 1790 as a freeholder in Monmouth Co, NJ (he may have already given his land to his sons).

Joshua GIFFORD of Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, left a will dated 21 Dec 1790 (the will mentioned wife Hannah, daughter Anne Davis, sons William, Joseph, Annaniah, three sons were named as executors). An inventory of the estate of Joshua GIFFORD was taken on 26 Feb 1793 in Monmouth Co, NJ, by Benjamin JACKSON and Annaniah GIFFORD.63

Hannah DEAN died after Jun 1797 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.66

There were DEANs in New Brunswick and Woodbridge, NJ.

    There were two Stephen BOWERMANs born about 1764 or 1765. The NEHGR article claims that the son of Stephen and Hannah born 25 Feb 1764 was the one who married Abigail GIFFORD. However, that birth date does not work with his age at death.

    The Stephen who married Abigail GIFFORD was called Jr in his marriage record but that does not necessarily mean that he was the son of a Stephen. There were two Stephen BOWERMANs in Falmouth in the 1800 census, both age 26-45. One was called Jr.

But Paul is listed in nearby Hanover in both the 1810 and 1820 census. Mary is listed in Pembroke in the 1830 and 1840 census.

The same Mayflower source has Stepen dying on 23 Dec 1842, but his probate records start 2 Dec 1845. So maybe it is wrong about his birth date also.

He died on 1 Oct 1854 in Tuckerton, Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ, at age 76.

  8.  149.  Joshua GIFFORD was born on 1 Nov 1782 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ. He married Elizabeth MOTT on 21 Apr 1805 in Mount Holly, Burlington Co, NJ (maybe 2 Apr). He probably died in 1806 or 1807 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ.

66. Isaac5 GIFFORD (William4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born on 19 Apr 1745 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ.119 He married Elizabeth M.120 He died on 31 Aug 1823 in Tell Tp, Huntingdon Co, PA, at age 78.121 He was buried in Upper Tuscarora Presbyterian Cemetery, Lack Tp, Juniata Co, PA.121

DNA testing strongly suggests that Isaac GIFFORD was a son of William4 (William3, Annaniah2, William1 of Sandwich MA).

According to "Landowners in Huntingdon County, PA", Isaac GIFFORD supposedly moved about 1765 from Piscataway NJ to the Black Log Mountain area of South Central Pennsylvania. He had 500 acres, 4 horses, 6 cows, 4 sons and 3 daughters. He was listed as farmer and lumberman. I have been unable to find a copy of this book. However, the death record for Isaac's son Joseph says that Joseph was born in 1769 in New Jersey. And census records show that his son Isaac was born in 1772 in New Jersey. Isaac probably moved to Pennsylvania about the time of the Revolutionary War to keep his family away from the fighting.122

Isaac GIFFORD appeared in tax lists for Fannett Tp, Franklin Co, PA, in 1786 (Fannett Tp was right near what became Huntingdon Co in 1787).123

Elizabeth M was born on 12 Aug 1750.119 She died in 1841 in Tell Tp, Huntingdon Co, PA.121 She was buried in Upper Tuscarora Presbyterian Cemetery, Lack Tp, Juniata Co, PA.121

Some online sources have Elizabeth's maiden name as HENDERSON. However, if her middle initial of M is correct, then her maiden name probably started with an M. Middle names were very uncommon back then.

Elizabeth M. GIFFORD appeared in the 1830 US census in Tell Tp, Huntingdon Co, PA (Elizabeth GIFFORD, 1 female 80-90).

Elizabeth M. GIFFORD appeared with Thomas H. CISNEY in the 1840 US census in Tell Tp, Huntingdon Co, PA (Thomas SCISNEY, 2 males 0-5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 20-30, 1 female 90-100, this was the only 90-100 year old woman in Tell Tp or Shirley Tp).

The will was proved on 8 Jul 1775 in Monmouth Co, NJ.134

Known children of Annaniah5 GIFFORD and Mary HERBERT were as follows:
  1.  158.  John6 GIFFORD was born on 30 Sep 1759 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Faithful between 1789 and 1794. He died on 2 Sep 1828 in Howell (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, at age 68. He was buried in Brewer Cemetery, between Farmingdale and Squankum, Monmouth Co, NJ.

  2.  159.  Deborah GIFFORD was born between 1761 and 1762 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. She married Ezekiel FIELDER, son of Rice FIELDER and Elizabeth WOOLLEY. She died before 1821 in Monmouth Co, NJ (not mentioned in her husband's will).

  3.  Sarah GIFFORD was born on 25 Aug 1764 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.49 She married Noah HOLLY probably between 1806 and 1811.135 She died on 25 Apr 1857 in Point Pleasant, Ocean Co, NJ, at age 92.136
         
    Noah HOLLY appeared in the 1830 US census in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (Noah HOLLEY, 1 male 60-70, 1 female 60-70).

    Sarah (GIFFORD) HOLLY was probably the 70-80 year old female living with John and Sarah FORMAN at the time of the 1840 census.

    Sarah (GIFFORD) HOLLY sold land in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to John S. FORMAN on 14 May 1849 (west side of Mingamahone Brook, recorded 9 Oct 1850, Sarah was described as "Sarah Holly late Sarah Gifford and daughter of Annaniah Gifford Sr. decd").137

    Sarah (GIFFORD) HOLLY has not been found yet in the 1850 census.

    Noah HOLLY was born between 1760 and 1770. He probably died before the 1840 census in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

    Noah HOLLY appeared in the 1793 NJ census in Northampton Tp, Burlington Co, NJ (this was a military census of males between the ages of 18 and 45 ... could pay to be exempt).

    Noah HOLLY appeared in the 1830 US census in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (Noah HOLLEY, 1 male 60-70, 1 female 60-70).

  4.  160.  Annaniah GIFFORD was born in 1773 (8 Oct or 9 Nov) in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Phebe WARDELL, daughter of Solomon WARDELL and (Patience ANDERSON or Charity EMMONS), probably in 1796 in Monmouth Co, NJ. He died on 9 Jan 1854 in Union Tp, Rush Co, IN. He was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Fairview, Rush Co, IN (Aged 80 Y'rs 3 Mo.).

69. Joshua5 GIFFORD (Annaniah4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born on 18 Aug 1738 (maybe Jun and maybe 1737) in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.58,138 He married Amy JOHNSTON as her first husband. He died on 30 Nov 1800 (maybe 1 Nov) in present-day Allaire, Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.138,139 He was buried in Quaker Cemetery near Manasquan, Wall Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.138

There is conflicting evidence for the birth and death dates of Joshua GIFFORD. His gravestone says that he died 30 Nov 1800 at age 62-5-12. The Havens book says that he was born 18 Aug 1737 and died "the first day of November" 1800, but also quotes his grandson as saying that Joshua died in his 62nd year. Perhaps the age on the gravestone was hard to read and it should be 3 months instead of 5 months. Then both sources would agree on 18 Aug as his birthday. 1738 wins 2 to 1 over 1737 as the birth year, and that year fits better with the birth dates of his nearest siblings. For his death date, perhaps "the first day" was misquoted and should be "the last day".

In 1767, Joshua GIFFORD purchased land from Obadiah BOWNE on the north side of the Manasquan River 2 miles above the lower bridge. Which Joshua was this?

Joshua GIFFORD bought land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, from Stephen FRAZEE on 23 Mar 1769 (south side of Manasquan River, recorded 28 Jul 1800, the original deed was clarified on 29 Sep 1770, it included land "where the said Joshua Gifford and his father now dwells", Joshua was called Joshua Jr. singleman).59

Joshua GIFFORD served in the Revolutionary War as Joshua Jr from Shrewsbury.71

Joshua GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, between 1779 and 1797 (75 acres of improved land and 50 acres of unimproved land, listed as Joshua Jr. while older cousin was alive).66

Joshua GIFFORD was listed in 1790 as a freeholder in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (Josiah GIFFORD Junr).67

Joshua GIFFORD bought land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, from Samuel HARVEY on 3 Nov 1790 (north side of Manasquan River near Squancom, recorded Jul 1800).140

An inventory of the estate of Joshua GIFFORD was taken on 29 Dec 1800 in Monmouth Co, NJ, by Edward Patterson COOK and Ezekiel JOHNSTON (the final inventory was filed on 25 May 1801). Administration of the estate of Joshua GIFFORD was granted to Amy (JOHNSTON) GIFFORD on 24 Feb 1801 in Monmouth Co, NJ, with Stephen FRAZEE and Ezekiel JOHNSTON as fellowbondsman(men).141,142

In the Jul 1810 term of the Monmouth County Orphan's Court, Joshua GIFFORD's land was divided among his 5 children, Annaniah GIFFORD, Amos GIFFORD, Joshua GIFFORD, Mary CONNETT (wife of Matthew), Sary GIFFORD. The minutes mention "Stephen Frazee and Amy his wife, late Amey Gifford, Admr. of Joshua Gifford, dec'd". Son Amos later bought out his siblings for most of the land south of the Manasquan River. Son Annaniah later bought out his siblings for the land north of the Manasquan River.143

Amy JOHNSTON was born on 10 Mar 1762 in New Jersey.138,49,144 Amy (JOHNSTON) GIFFORD married (second) Stephen FRAZEE, son of Stephen FRAZEE and Hannah GIFFORD. She died on 18 Dec 1851 in present-day Allaire, Wall Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, at age 89.138,139 She was buried in Quaker Cemetery near Manasquan, Wall Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.138

Amy (JOHNSTON) GIFFORD was probably closely related to the Ezekiel JOHNSTON mentioned in the probate records for her husband Joshua GIFFORD. Also, there was an Elisha JOHNSTON who married Amy DAVIS on 28 Oct 1755 in Monmouth County.

Amy (JOHNSTON) (GIFFORD) FRAZEE witnessed when Joshua GIFFORD sold land in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to Annaniah GIFFORD on 4 May 1812.145,146

Amy (JOHNSTON) (GIFFORD) FRAZEE appeared with James W. MILLS in the 1850 US census in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (James MILLS 21, Anginette 22, Mary 3, Amy FRAZEE 88, all born NJ, next to Annaniah GIFFORD, James' age seems too low).

70. Hannah5 GIFFORD (Annaniah4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born on 26 Aug 1740 in Shrewsbury (now Wall) Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.58 She married Stephen FRAZEE, son of Stephen FRAZEE and Sarah ALLEN, on 19 May 1765 in Christ Church, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. She died after 9 Jun 1797 in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.59

Stephen FRAZEE died after 9 Jun 1797 but before 3 Jun 1806 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.149,59

Stephen FRAZEE and his wife Hannah sold land in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, to Joshua GIFFORD on 23 Mar 1769 (south side of Manasquan River, recorded 28 Jul 1800, the original deed was clarified on 29 Sep 1770, it included land "where the said Joshua Gifford and his father now dwells", Joshua was called Joshua Jr. singleman).59

Known children of Hannah5 GIFFORD and Stephen FRAZEE were as follows:
  1.  165.  Stephen6 FRAZEE was christened on 26 Jan 1766 in Christ Church, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (maybe 1767). He married Amy (JOHNSTON) GIFFORD as her second husband. He died on 26 Jan 1850 in Howell Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, at age 84. He was buried in Quaker Cemetery near Manasquan, Wall Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (Aged 84 Years).

  2.  Joshua FRAZEE was born circa 1772 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.49 He married Nancy REED in Westmoreland, PA.24 He died on 18 May 1845 in Lebanon, Van Buren Co, IA.46 He was buried in Valentine Cemetery, Keosauqua, Van Buren Co, IA (Aged 73 yrs).37
         
    Joshua FRAZEE was living on 3 Jun 1806 in Milford Tp, Somerset Co, PA.149

  3.  Joseph FRAZEE was born circa 1774 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He died in 1838 in Putnam Co, OH.36

71. Esther5 GIFFORD (Benjamin "Benoni"4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. She married Daniel Littleton KETCHAM, son of Daniel KETCHAM and Esther LITTLETON, bond posted on 14 Jul 1760 in Monmouth Co, NJ.

Esther GIFFORD's marriage bond has the following ... "the within named Esther Gilford is upwards of 21 years of age... and that Sarah Gilford, mother of the within Esther, her father being dead, has consented that he the deponent should marry the said Esther her daughter".

Daniel Littleton KETCHAM was christened on 5 Oct 1735 in Christ Church, Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (Daniel Littleton son of Daniel).64 He married (second) Margaret MORRIS on 19 Jul 1772 in Dutch Reformed Church of Freehold and Middletown.

A number of online sources have Daniel Littleton KETCHAM born on 17 Apr 1727. That is the same day as his sister Esther. He was baptized on 5 Oct 1735 (but not Esther). 1735 or a little earlier actually makes more sense than 1727 given that he married in 1760.

Daniel Littleton KETCHAM served in the Revolutionary War in Captain John N. CUMMING's Company in Colonel Israel SHREVE's 2nd Regiment of foot of the State of New Jersey (muster roll 31 Jan 1778) on 31 Jan 1778.150

In the minutes of a 1793 session of the New Jersey Supreme Court are found the following: On 1 Apr 1771, Daniel Littleton KETCHAM sold land to Micajah KETCHAM. On 10 Jul 1778, Micajah KETCHAM and his wife sold the land to Abraham GIFFORD. On 23 Jul 1784, Abraham GIFFORD executed an instrument giving this land to Abel EVANS and his wife Elizabeth after the death of Abraham in return for maintaining Abraham if he could not support himself. Abraham GIFFORD had died and the court determined that the instrument was valid.68

Known children of Esther5 GIFFORD and Daniel Littleton KETCHAM were as follows:
  1.  166.  Daniel Littleton6 KETCHAM was born on 28 Aug 1762 in Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Anne BOWNE, daughter of Samuel BOWNE and Patience, on 9 Dec 1790 in Monmouth Co, NJ. He died on 22 Jan 1840 in Monmouth Co, NJ, at age 77.

  2.  John KETCHAM was born in Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Eleanor BOWNE, daughter of Samuel BOWNE and Patience.

72. William5 GIFFORD (Benjamin "Benoni"4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Margaret MEIRS, bond posted on 11 Feb 1763 in Monmouth Co, NJ (fellow bondsman Daniel KETCHAM).

It is not known exactly where this William GIFFORD fits on the family tree, but he was undoubtedly a great-grandson of the original Annaniah GIFFORD of Monmouth Co NJ. He was likely the brother of the Esther GIFFORD who married Daniel KETCHAM, because Daniel was a fellow bondsman on William's marriage bond.

The William GIFFORD who married Margaret MEIRS in 1763 may not be the William GIFFORD of Deerfield. But there is good circumstantial evidence that they are the same person. There was a Job and a Joshua in the Millville NJ area. William who married Margaret MEIRS had a brother named Job and an uncle named Joshua. Job and Joshua were fairly rare names back in early NJ. No records for William and Margaret have been found in Monmouth Co after their marriage. Also, there was a David MEIRS in Monmouth County and the name David also appears in South Jersey.

In 1761, the New Jersey Supreme Court heard a suit against William GIFFORD of Monmouth County filed by Robert MORRIS, Lewis JOHNSTON, Cortland SKINNER, and John STEVENS. Could this be a reason why William of Monmouth Co may have moved to Cumberland Co?

William GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Deerfield Tp, Cumberland Co, NJ, between 1773 and 1774.

There were no GIFFORDs in the 1807 tax ratables for Deerfield Tp.

Margaret MEIRS was born in New Jersey.

Margaret MEIRS was probably a sister of John MEIRS of Dover Township. There was also a David MEIRS who married Martha SMITH on 28 May 1763 in Monmouth Co, NJ. This ties in nicely with the fact that the name David appears numerous times in the descendants of William GIFFORD of Deerfield Tp, Cumberland Co, NJ.

73. Job5 GIFFORD (Benjamin "Benoni"4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Mary JEFFREY, daughter of John JEFFREY and Elizabeth ALLEN, as her first husband. He died probably between 1797 and 1805 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.

Job GIFFORD probably married Mary JEFFERY. Mary was married to a GIFFORD in 1798 and to Robert MORRIS in 1806. Job is the only known GIFFORD of the right age who could have died before 1806 and whose wife is otherwise unknown.

Ann GIFFORD is placed as a daughter of Job GIFFORD because she lived in Brick Township and the Mar 1813 inventory of the estate of Sylvanus HULSE included a debt to Benjamin GIFFORD. However, she could have been the daughter of Joseph GIFFORD and Achsa HOLLOWAY.

Job GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, between 1779 and 1797 (21 acres of improved land).66

Mary JEFFREY was born in the mid to late 1750s in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. Mary (JEFFERY) GIFFORD married (second) Robert MORRIS between 1798 and 1806.

74. John5 GIFFORD (Benjamin "Benoni"4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Mary JACOBS, daughter of Jacob JACOBS and Hannah JOHNSON, in Monongalia (now Harrison) Co, VA (now WV). He died on 19 Oct 1825 in Harrison Co, VA (now WV).

DNA testing of direct male GIFFORD descendants of John GIFFORD has shown that he was a descendant of the original Annaniah2 GIFFORD of Monmouth Co NJ (son of the immigrant William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA). John is listed as a son of Benoni/Benjamin for the following reasons: 1) Mary JACOBS parents were married in Monmouth Co, 2) Benjamin is the best fit among the names of John's oldest sons, 3) John had a son named Job, 4) John had a daughter named Margaret.

Members of the JACOBS family lived in Mason Co, KY (see Elisha GIFFORD) and Adams Co, OH (see Peregrine Pickle GIFFORD).

Some posts online state that John GIFFORD and the JACOBs and the HARBERTs migrated together from New Jersey. The pension records for Samuel HARBERT described the migration: 1765/66 to near Winchester VA; about 1771 to Decker's Creek, Monongalia Co; about 1774 to Jones Run, present-day Harrison Co.

An old Monongalia Co land grant says that John DENT/DEUT was an assignee of John GIFFORD for 392 acres and it "includes the said Gifford settlement made thereon in the year 1773.".

In 1784, Harrison County was formed from parts of Monongalia County.

In 1785, 289 acres in Harrison Co were surveyed for John GIFFORD. His land was southeast of present-day Shinnston on the headwaters of Mud Lick Creek, a drain of the West Fork.

John GIFFORD appeared in the 1790 US census in Monongalia Co, VA (John GIFFORD, 5 people, this census was actually taken in 1782 and Harrison Co was not created until Jul 1784).

John GIFFORD has not been found yet in the 1800 census (Virginia missing).

John GIFFORD appeared in the 1810 US census in Harrison Co, VA (John GIFFORD, 1 male 0-10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-26, 2 males 45+, 1 female 0-10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 45+, indexed as John GEFFERS).

    William HOWARD appeared in the 1840 US census in Harrison Co, VA (William HOWARD, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 60-70, 1 female 20-30, 1 female 30-40, 1 female 60-70, indexed as HONARD).

    There was Joseph GIFFORD in Norfolk VA in 1820, 000100-20100.

    There was a Joseph GIFFORD in St. Brides Parish, Norfolk Co, VA, in 1830, age 50-60.

    The ages in the above two census records do not fit very well with a Joseph born in 1784.

  5.  Jacob GIFFORD was born on 9 Oct 1785 in Harrison Co, VA (now WV).
         
    He may be the Jacob GIFFORD in Gallatin Co, KY, in the 1810 census.

    He may be the Jacob GIFFORD in Bethlem, Clark Co, IN, in the 1820 census.

    No Jacob GIFFORD found in the 1830 census.

Other GIFFORD baptisms at the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Shrewsbury Tp: Sarah 21 Jan 1787, Mary 25 Feb 1787. Elisabeth GIFFORD was received into the church on 13 May 1781. Who were these people? The baptisms could easily have been adult baptisms.153

Nathan DAVIS was born on 9 May 1740 in Westerly, Washington Co, RI. He died shortly before 17 Oct 1814 in Salem, Harrison Co, VA (now WV).

Sometime after Sep 1789, Nathan and Ann DAVIS moved to Harrison Co, VA (now WV), with the Seventh Day Baptists. They were not among the 10 families who left on 6 Sep and 13 Sep. On 28 Apr 1789, Nathan had lost his Shrewsbury Tp land because of a bad debt.154,155,152

Nathan DAVIS has not been found yet in the 1790 census (the 1790 VA census was actually taken in 1782).

Known children of Ann5 GIFFORD and Nathan DAVIS were as follows:
  1.  William G.6 DAVIS was born on 7 May 1762 in Monmouth Co, NJ.

  2.  Joshua Gifford DAVIS was born on 12 Mar 1764 in Monmouth Co, NJ. He married Content DAVIS. He died on 24 Jul 1839 in Harrison Co, VA (now WV), at age 75.

He died shortly before 14 Aug 1800 in Dover (now maybe Brick) Tp, Monmouth (now Ocean) Co, NJ.156

This William GIFFORD is placed as the son of Joshua because of the 1802 land record where his youngest daughter and her husband buy out her siblings for their inherited land. This land was very near to inherited land sold by Joshua's son Joseph in 1812. Also, William had children named Joshua and Hannah and Ann and his son Benjamin moved to Ovid NY.

William GIFFORD served in the Revolutionary War as a Militia Volunteer prior to the first general militia muster in Jun 1776.71

    A Joshua GIFFORD had to petition as an involvent debtor in 1824, 1830, 1834, and 1837. The signatures in 1824 and 1837 are the same. Joshua, son of Joshua, died in 1836 according to his gravestone, but maybe the gravestone transcription is in error.

  5.  182.  Ann GIFFORD was born on 16 Jun 1781 in Dover Tp, Monmouth (now Ocean) Co, NJ. She married John SHERMAN on 10 Apr 1800 in Monmouth Co, NJ (John of Howell Tp, Ann of Dover Tp). She died before the 1830 census in Point Pleasant, Dover Tp, Monmouth (now Ocean) Co, NJ.

Asel J. GIFFORD may not be a son of Joseph, but he was living near Asel F. GIFFORD and Freeman GIFFORD in 1830. Perhaps Joseph married a sister of Lydia FREEMAN.

Joseph GIFFORD served in the Revolutionary War as a private in the Militia.71

He married (second) Lydia FREEMAN, daughter of Asel FREEMAN and Mary MORRIS, before 1793. He died shortly before 24 Apr 1815 in Ovid, Seneca Co, NY.160

The first wife of Annaniah GIFFORD may have been Mercy FREEMAN, older sister to Lydia FREEMAN. Annaniah had grandsons Freeman GIFFORD and Freeman JOHNSTON through his first wife.

The unknown daughter could be the first wife of Hermon CAMP of Ulysses. Asel F. GIFFORD named a son Hermon Camp GIFFORD.

Annaniah GIFFORD served in the Revolutionary War as a private in the Militia. He also labored intermittently from Aug 1776 to June 1777 in the Pennsylvania Salt Works.71

Annaniah GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ, between 1779 and 1797 (householder until 1786, 50 acres of improved land from 1794 to 1797, listed as the son of Joshua from 1779 to 1781 ... printed accounts of the tax ratables show his entry as "son of John", but the original record in Trenton has "son of Joshua").66

On 21 Jan 1787, an Ananias GIFFORD was baptized into the Seventh Day Baptist church in Shrewsbury Tp. This was likely an adult baptism. Baptized on the same day was a Sarah GIFFORD. Was this the first wife of Annaniah? Baptized a few weeks later was a Mary GIFFORD.153

Annaniah GIFFORD was not listed in not 1790 as a freeholder in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.67

Annaniah GIFFORD appeared in the 1793 NJ census in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (this was a military census of males between the ages of 18 and 45 ... could pay to be exempt).125

Administration of the estate of Annaniah GIFFORD was granted to Joshua GIFFORD on 24 Apr 1815 in Seneca Co, NY (Annaniah was listed as "late of Ovid" and Joshua was listed as from Ovid, the petition for probate mentioned "wearing apparel of Lydia Gifford" and "property left to the little girls").160

On 28 Dec 1817, Lydia GIFFORD, "infant child of the late Annanias GIFFORD of Ulyses, Tompkins Co., NY, who was 14 years on 15 Dec. 1817 had Albert M. CRANDALL of Ulyses appointed guardian".92

On 11 Nov 1818, the Sheriff of Seneca County sold an undivided 5/7 of the 52 acres that had belonged to Annaniah GIFFORD, recorded in Tompkins County. The land was sold for payment of debts of Lewis HALSEY and Luther S. JAGGER. One of the other 1/7 portions had been sold by Asahel F. GIFFORD in 1817. No land record has been found for the remaining 1/7. The fact that the above land was divided into sevenths indicates that Annaniah GIFFORD probably had 5 sons and 4 daughters (at that time daughters usually received a half share). This agrees nicely with a family legend that 4 brothers moved West (John staying in Monmouth Co).

Known children of Annaniah5 GIFFORD and Sarah (maybe Sarah) were as follows:

          Some sources have Mary Wing GIFFORD born 5 Jun 1805 but the vital records have 1806. 1805 is also probably too soon after her parents were married.

        2.  234.  Arnold GIFFORD was born on 6 May 1810 in Falmouth, Barnstable Co, MA. He married (first) Chloe Wing SWIFT, daughter of Moses SWIFT and Elizabeth SWIFT, on 23 Jun 1836.

        There is conflicting evidence for the birth date of Peleg GIFFORD. He fits nicely at 1776, and that works well with both the 1790 census and 1800 census. He did buy out his brother Henry's inheritance in 1795, but a minor could own inherited land. Henry, the seller, had probably just turned 21.

        Peleg GIFFORD appeared in the 1800 US census in Providence, Providence Co, RI (Peleg GIFFORD, 1 male 16-26, 1 female 0-10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 16-26, 1 female 45+, indexed as Poley).

          John GIFFORD's birth year calculates to 1801 using his age at death. But all of the census records suggest 1802.

                Find A Grave has a daughter Delilah 1858-1875 for Benjamin and Saresta, but that was their granddaughter Delilah PUTNAM born about 1868.

                Benjamin and Saresta had 3 children according to the 1910 census. Only Abigail was still alive in 1910.

                Benjamin GIFFORD appeared in the 1880 US census in Ellery, Chautauqua Co, NY (Benjamin GIFFORD age 63, Ciee-sty 56, both born NY parents NY/NY).

                Saresta NEWBURY was born circa 21 May 1823 in Ellery, Chautauqua Co, NY.49 She died on 11 Jul 1911 in Ellery, Chautauqua Co, NY.37 She was buried on 13 Jul 1911 in Bemus Point Cemetery, Ellery, Chautauqua Co, NY (age 88-1-20).37

                141. James6 GIFFORD (Timothy5, William4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in 1755 in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ.217 He married (first) ?.218 He married (second) Susannah (FALCONER) JOHNSTON, daughter of Samuel FALCONER and Elizabeth NEWKIRK, as her second husband on 8 Oct 1805 in Canfield Tp, Trumbull (now Mahoning) Co, OH.219,220 He died on 16 Oct 1829 in Wadsworth Tp, Medina Co, OH (maybe 6 Oct).217 He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Wadsworth Tp, Medina Co, OH.

                Peregrine Pickle GIFFORD was probably related somehow to James GIFFORD for the following reasons: 1) Pickle's oldest son was named James, 2) James and Pickle had exactly the same migration patterns ... NJ to PA to KY to OH, 3) James GIFFORD had a great-grandson named Perry GIFFORD, 4) James had a son named Henry GIFFORD and there was a Henry GIFFORD who died in Scioto Co, OH, 5) both James and Pickle lived close to a GIFFORD with the unusual given name of Timothy. However, Pickle was not mentioned in James's 1829 will. Perhaps Jerusha GIFFORD was a sister of James GIFFORD and she had an illegitimate son. Then James took care of Jerusha and helped raise her son.

                James GIFFORD served in the Revolutionary War as a Private and Corporal in Captain Richard Howell's Company, 2nd New Jersey Regiment.

                James GIFFORD served in the Revolutionary War, maybe in Colonel Oliver Spencer's Regiment, often referred to as the Fifth Battalion Jersey Line. The DAR Patriot Index has a James GIFFORD serving from MD, but no record has been found of any GIFFORD family in MD at that time. This probably happened because there were soldiers from MD serving in NJ units and the FALCONER family had ties to MD.

                James GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for (Great) Egg Harbor Tp, Gloucester Co, NJ, between 1778 and 1785 (listed as James Jr., near Timothy and Joseph, there was both a James Sr. and a James Jr. from 1778 to 1785).109

                James GIFFORD moved circa 1786 to Pennsylvania.

                James GIFFORD appeared in the 1790 US census in Hanover Tp, Washington Co, PA (James GIFFORD, 1 male 16+, 1 male under 16, 3 females).

                Was Peregrine Pickle GIFFORD listed with James GIFFORD in the 1790 census?

                James GIFFORD appeared in tax lists for Hanover Tp, Washington Co, PA, in 1793.

                James GIFFORD appeared in tax lists for Hanover Tp, Washington Co, PA, in 1798.

                No James GIFFORD has not been found yet in the 1800 census in Pennsylvania.

                James GIFFORD may have moved first to Jefferson Co OH (just west of Washington Co PA). His daughter Ruhama was married there in 1801. No GIFFORDs were found in the old Jefferson Co deeds. But there were a number of people listed from Washington Co PA.

                James GIFFORD appeared in tax lists for Youngstown Tp, Trumbull Co, OH, in 1802.36

                James GIFFORD appeared in tax lists for Canfield Tp, Mahoning Co, OH, in 1804 (two of his neighbors were John SIMCOCK (his son-in-law) and Peregrine P. GIFFORD).221

                There was a Jerusha GIFFORD who died on 5 Aug 1805 in Canfield Tp. If that death date is correct, she cannot be the first wife of James GIFFORD. Maybe she was a sister of James and the mother of Pickle GIFFORD.

                James GIFFORD appeared in tax lists for Trumbull Co, OH, in between 1806 and 1810.221

                On 18 Apr 1808, James GIFFORD of Canfield Tp Trumbull Co purchased 50 acres in lot 30 in Canfield Tp from Herman and Fitie [?] CANFIELD. One of the neighbors listed was James JOHNSTON. James GIFFORD and his wife Susanna of Canfield Tp sold this land on 31 Jan 1820 to Samuel FLEWWING of New York City.222 He was Tax List between 1816 and 1819 Canfield Tp, Trumbull (now Mahoning) Co, OH.223

                James GIFFORD appeared in the 1820 US census in Wadsworth Tp, Medina Co, OH (James GIFFORD, 2 males 0-10, 2 males 10-16, 1 male 45+, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 45+).

                James GIFFORD of Medina Co, OH, left a will dated 7 Jul 1829 (the will mentioned three sons Jefferson, Henry, Benjamin; daughter Polly BRADLEY; daughter Ruhamah ALLEY; executors Jefferson GIFFORD and Allen PARDEE; witnesses Allen PARDEE and Jacob SMITH). The will was proved on 15 Mar 1830 in Medina Co, OH.

Ruhama (GIFFORD) SIMCOCK married (second) George ALLEY on 11 Jul 1805 in Canfield Tp, Trumbull (now Mahoning) Co, OH. She died after the 1850 census probably in Stow Tp, Summit Co, OH.

                2.  Mary "Polly" GIFFORD was born circa 1785 in (Great) Egg Harbor Tp, Gloucester Co, NJ.49,76 She married Benjamin BRADLEY on 9 Feb 1804 in Trumbull Co, OH (both of Canfield Tp).219 She died on 30 Jan 1862 in Ravenna Tp, Portage Co, OH. She was buried in Hillside Cemetery, Shalersville Tp, Portage Co, OH.224
                       
                  1850 census has her birthplace as PA and 1860 census has her birthplace as NJ. She was probably born in NJ and moved to PA as a baby.

                  Benjamin BRADLEY was born circa 1774.49 He died on 20 Sep 1842 in Shalersville Tp, Portage Co, OH.46 He was buried in Hillside Cemetery, Shalersville Tp, Portage Co, OH.224

                Susannah (FALCONER) (JOHNSTON) GIFFORD appeared in the 1830 US census in Wadsworth Tp, Medina Co, OH (Susanna GIFFORD, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 50-60).

                Susannah (FALCONER) (JOHNSTON) GIFFORD appeared with Jefferson GIFFORD in the 1850 US census in Wadsworth Tp, Medina Co, OH (Jefferson GIFFORD age 39 born OH, Elizabeth 35 PA, Susan 15 OH, Aaron 13 OH, Franklin 11 OH, Maryette 8 OH, James 4 OH, William 8/12 OH, Susan 79 NC).

                Known children of James6 GIFFORD and Susannah FALCONER were as follows:
                1.  Benjamin7 GIFFORD was born say 1809 in Ohio.

                The Little Egg Harbor history has Thomas GIFFORD and Mary (MATHIS) (SOPER) GIFFORD with a daughter Hannah who married a David GIFFORD. No Hannah was mentioned in Thomas's probate records and I have not been able to find any information on a David and Hannah GIFFORD.

                Thomas GIFFORD appeared in the 1793 NJ census in Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ (this was a military census of males between the ages of 18 and 45 ... could pay to be exempt).

                Thomas GIFFORD appeared in the tax ratables for Little Egg Harbor Tp, Burlington (now Ocean) Co, NJ, between 1795 and 1813.57

                Thomas GIFFORD was probably the 70-80 year-old male listed with Isaac GIFFORD in the 1830 census.

                An obituary for Thomas GIFFORD appeared in the 4 Jan 1838 issue of the Mount Holly Mirror. It read "Thomas Giffard, near Tuckerton, on 27th ult., aged 77 years, a respectable member of the Society of Friends".

He married Elizabeth Ann MORTON, daughter of Thomas MORTON, as her first husband on 25 Mar 1830 in Monmouth Co, NJ (at the home of Benjamin GIFFORD of Howell Tp). He died on 9 Jul 1871 in Brick Tp, Ocean Co, NJ, at age 62. He was buried in Methodist Episcopal West Cemetery, Point Pleasant, Ocean Co, NJ.

                  2.  349.  Elizabeth GIFFORD was born in 1810 in Howell (now Brick) Tp, Monmouth (now Ocean) Co, NJ. She married Jacob HAVENS as his second wife on 28 Feb 1839. She died on 31 Mar 1853 in Brick Tp, Ocean Co, NJ.

                  4.  351.  Samuel A. GIFFORD was born on 23 Mar 1815 in Howell (now Brick) Tp, Monmouth (now Ocean) Co, NJ. He married Eleanor OSBORN, daughter of John OSBORN and Martha, as her first husband on 24 Mar 1836 in Monmouth Co, NJ. He died on 12 Sep 1863 in Brick Tp, Ocean Co, NJ, at age 48.

                  174. Ann6 GIFFORD (Job5, Benjamin "Benoni"4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born circa 1782 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.76 She married William HULSE, son of Sylvanus HULSE. She died after the 1850 census in Brick Tp, Ocean Co, NJ.

                  Ann GIFFORD is placed as a daughter of Job GIFFORD because she lived in Brick Township and the Mar 1813 inventory of the estate of Sylvanus HULSE included a debt to Benjamin GIFFORD. However, she could have been the daughter of Joseph GIFFORD and Achsa HOLLOWAY.

                  Some Internet sources have Ann GIFFORD and William HULSE marrying on (4 or 7) Apr 1803 in Burlington NJ. The Pedigree Resource File has 4 Apr 1802. None of these dates fits with the birth of their daughter Hannah. The misinformation probably came from H. Stanley CRAIG's 1932 list of Burlington marriages (FHL 974.961 V2c). He has William HULTZ marrying Ann GIFFORD on 7 Apr 1802 (from County records). The actual Burlington County records, however, have William HULTZ and Anna STODDARD of the Township of Springfield marrying on 8 Jan 1802. The next entry has John THOMSON and Ann GIFFORD marrying on 17 Apr 1802. The recording date is 14 Apr 1802, so it should probably be 7 Apr 1802.

                  William HULSE was born circa 1779 in Shrewsbury Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.76 He died on 23 Dec 1852 in Brick Tp, Ocean Co, NJ.36

                  William HULSE appeared in the 1830 an unknown person census in Dover Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (William HULSE, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 40-50 [sic], 2 females 15-20, 2 females 20-30, 1 female 30-40 [sic]).

                  William HULSE appeared in the 1840 US census in Freehold Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ (William J. HULSE, 1 male 60-70, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 50-60).

                  William HULSE appeared in the 1850 US census in Brick Tp, Ocean Co, NJ (William HULSE age 71, Ann 68, Hiram 14, Mary GANT 7, all born NJ).

                    Some online sources have a birth date of 1 Jul 1802 for Deborah (HULSE) GANT, and her age at death calculates to a birth date of 30 Mar 1803. But neither of these dates agree with any of the census records.

                  192. William6 GIFFORD (Elisha5, (Elisha's father)4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born say 1768 in New Jersey. He married Martha STURGEON, daughter of John STURGEON and Eleanor, as her first husband on 15 Jan 1789 in Bourbon Co, KY. He died on 4 Nov 1791 in St. Clair's battle, Fort Recovery, OH.

                  Joshua GIFFORD made an affidavit to assist his mother-in-law, Mary ALLEN, receive a pension as a widow of a Revolutionary War soldier. In that affadavit he said he remembered that Barnabas and Mary ALLEN came to Kentucky in 1791 because his family had small pox that year and Mrs. ALLEN nursed them. Also that his brother (not named) had been killed in "Sinclair’s" battle with the Indians and how he had cried when he heard it. This unnamed brother must have been William GIFFORD.

                  Martha STURGEON was born probably in Kentucky. Martha (STURGEON) GIFFORD married (second) Samuel STURGEON on 26 Apr 1792 in Nelson Co, KY ("widow of Wm. Gifford").

                  Known children of William6 GIFFORD and Martha STURGEON were:
                  1.  Eleanor7 GIFFORD was born in 1789 in Kentucky.

She died on 7 Aug 1871 in Crawford County, IL.90
                         
                    Some online records have Eleanor's birth date as 4 Jun 1787. The 1850 census shows a birth date of about 1789, which makes more sense.

                    Stephen SHIPMAN was born on 15 Nov 1788 in Rockingham Co, VA.36 He died on 16 Aug 1849 in Hardinville, Crawford Co, IL, at age 60.36

                  Ann and Timothy A. may not be children of Timothy, but it is the most logical place for them to fit.

                  Road accounts for Mason Co KY in 1800 (Lewis Co formed from Mason Co in 1806) show a Peregrine P. GIFFORD and a Timothy GIFFORD.85

                  No GIFFORDs in 1808 or 1810 Ross Co tax lists. No early GIFFORDs found in Ross Co probate records.309

                  A Timothy GIFFERT was listed in an 1811 poll book for Urbana Tp, Champaign Co, OH.310

                  Timothy GIFFERT was on an 8 Oct 1811 list of early officers of Champaign Co OH. On the same page was Simon KENTON, who came from Mason Co KY, and also John FRAZEL.

                  Timothy GIFFORD did not appear in tax lists for Champaign Co, OH, in between 1816 and 1826.

                  There was a Timothy GIFFORD who died in Adams Co Mississippi in 1825. He left a will but no relatives were mentioned.

                  The 5 Sep 1848 will of Elizabeth SEEGAR of Salem, Champaign Co, OH, mentioned her adopted son Timothy A. GIFFORD. Timothy was born about 1812 in OH according to the 1850 census. A William SEEGAR was in Salem in the 1840 census.

                  No other Champaign Co records found for Timothy GIFFORD.

                  Known children of Timothy6 GIFFORD and Josebeth FRIZELL were:
                  1.  Ann7 GIFFORD was born say 1801. She married John LEA on 10 Aug 1820 in Ross Co, OH.
                  Known children of Timothy6 GIFFORD and Elizabeth McDONALD were:
                  1.  376.  Timothy A.7 GIFFORD was born circa 1812 in Champaign Co, OH. He married (first) ? He married (second) Mahala Malinda HULLINGER on 13 Sep 1846 in Champaign Co, OH. He died between the 1850 census and the 1860 census.

                  194. Elisha6 GIFFORD (Elisha5, (Elisha's father)4, William3, Annaniah2, William1) was born in 1780 in Middletown Tp, Monmouth Co, NJ.76 He married Nancy M. TENNIS, daughter of Samuel TENNIS and Eleanor SACHEVERELL, on 20 Dec 1805 in Mason Co, KY.311 He died between the 1860 census and the 1870 census in Greencastle Tp, Putnam Co, IN.

                  Was Samuel T. GIFFORD born Samuel TENNIS and adopted by Elisha GIFFORD? Or maybe Elisha and Nancy married in 1802 instead of 1805.

                  Elisha GIFFORD appeared in the 1810 US census in Mason Co, KY (Elisha GIFFORD Jr., 1 male 0-10, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 0-10, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 26-45).

                  Nancy M. TENNIS was born in 1779 in Pennsylvania. She died after the 1870 census in Greencastle Tp, Putnam Co, IN.

                  Nancy (TENNIS) GIFFORD appeared with Stanfield P. JAMES in the 1870 US census in Greencastle Tp, Putnam Co, IN (Stanfield P. JAMES age 50 born KY, Lamira 50 KY, John M. 22 IN, Olive B. 19 IN, Nancy GIFFORD 92 PA).

                    Ancestry Family Trees have a birth year of 1822 for Lamira (GIFFORD) JAMES, but that disagrees with all of the census records.

                    Stanfield P. JAMES was born on 19 Jul 1819 in Mason Co, KY.36

                    Stanfield P. JAMES appeared in the 1840 US census in Greencastle Tp, Putnam Co, IN (Stanfield JAMES, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 15-20, near Samuel GIFFORD).

                    The birth years for Adajah and Sylvia are just an educated guess. The Lee Vital Records have Sylvia born 14 Sep 1813, Lucretia born 28 Dec 1814, and Adajah born 11 Sep 1815. These obviously cannot all be correct. Adajah was probably the child born in 1810 who died in Mar 1811 age 6 months, and Sylvia was probably born in 1812. The 1860 and 1870 census records sort of suggest the 1812 birth year for Sylvia.

                              Solomon Wardell GIFFORD appeared in the 1850 US census in Posey Tp, Fayette Co, IN (Ward GIFFORD 44 NY, Malinda 38 OH, Safrone 23 IN dtr, Alfred 19 IN, Mahala 17 IN, Absalom 16 IN, Jefferson 13 IN, Phebe A. 10 IN, Laura 8 IN, Vaston? 5 IN, Freelove 2 IN, George Henry 6/12 IN).

                              Solomon Wardell GIFFORD appeared in the 1860 US census in Posey Tp, Fayette Co, IN (S. W. GIFFORD 53 NY, Malinda 49 IN, William M. 31 IN, Mahala J. 27 IN, James J. 22 IN, Phebe A. 21 IN, Laura 19 IN, Vashti 15 IN dtr, Freelove 12 IN, George H. 10 IN).

                              Solomon Wardell GIFFORD appeared in the 1870 US census in Fairview Tp, Fayette Co, IN (Solomon GIFFORD age 64 born NY, Malinda 56 IN, Freelove 21 IN, George H. 19 IN).

                              Solomon Wardell GIFFORD appeared in the 1880 US census in Posey Tp, Fayette Co, IN (S. W. GIFFORD age 74 born NJ parents NJ/NJ, Melinda 68 IN SC/SC, living with daughter Phebe GROVES and her husband, same page as 3 MANLOVE families).

                              Malinda MANLOVE was born (11 or 30) Nov 1811 in Indiana (maybe Ohio).36,49 She died in 1888 or 1889 (2 Jul or 3 Jul or 7 Jul) probably near Falmouth, Posey Tp, Fayette Co, IN.36,46 She was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Fairview, Rush Co, IN (DIED JULY 7, 1888 AGED 76 Yrs 7M. & 7D.).37

                              Most sources online have Malinda as a daughter of William and Phebe (COOK) GILLAM. William GILLAM may have raised Malinda, but he was probably not her biological father. First, Malinda married Solomon W. GIFFORD at age 14, one month shy of her 15th birthday. Her birthdate of (11 or 30) Nov 1811 agrees with most census records, so her age at marriage is likely accurate. If she had a first husband named MANLOVE, she would almost have to have been 13 at that marriage. Even if a first husband died right after the marriage, she probably wouldn’t remarry immediately. Marrying at 13 would have been extremely rate, maybe even illegal in Indiana back then. So MANLOVE was likely Malinda’s maiden name. Second, William GILLAM married Phebe COOK on 16 Dec 1815 in Wayne County IN (see Family Search for original record). That was 4 years after Malinda was born. The fact the Phebe is called COOK in this marriage record makes it likely that she did not have a first husband named MANLOVE. Malinda was probably an orphan and raised by relatives William and Phebe. Thirdly, the 1880 census shows Malinda’s father born in SC, and William GILLAM was born in PA. The census, of course, could be wrong. Phebe COOK had a sister Prudence who married William MANLOVE in Guilford Co NC. William MANLOVE had a brother Mark MANLOVE who married Jane HODGSON on 22 Mar 1816 in Highland Co OH. Some census records have Malinda MANLOVE born in OH. Maybe Malinda was a daughter of Mark MANLOVE by a first wife and was then raised by William and Phebe when that wife died. William and Mark MANLOVE's brothers John and George MANLOVE were in Harrison Tp, Fayette Co, IN by 1820.

                                William GIFFORD's death record says that his mother was Christiana, but he was mentioned in the will of his grandfather Stephen GARRISON.
