Notes

Ref#253:
JONAS HARRISON (c1738-31 Dec 1798) may have been born in present-day
Orange, NJ. His wife's name is not yet known, though she apparently died
11 June 1797. Perhaps her family name was Erwin, a middle name used by
many of Jonas's descendants. As further speculation, her first name
perhaps was Jemina; son Moses named his first children--twins--Phebe and
Jemina, and Phebe was the name of Moses's mother-in-law.
In 1776, Jonas was a private in Cpt. James Wheeler's Company of Newark
Minute Men. Wheeler later commanded the Ten Eych Company, 2d Battalion,
Somerset County, NJ during the Revolution. Whether Jonas served in the
Revolution, however, is yet unknown. Jonas appears on the Newark tax
rolls in 1785-86. According to his will, Jonas lived at the northeast
corner of Old Ferry Road and Wheeler's Point Lane in southeastern Newark.

Jonas's will devised $625 evenly split to Moses and his sisters. Aaron,
Daniel, and Jabez received shares of four properties: home lot, wood
lot, great swamp, and salt marsh. In the home lot, Jabez inherited
Jonas's house. Moses had been left some land in Jonas's will, written 6
November 1798; however, a 24 December 1798 codicil voided Moses share.
And Jonas died a week later. Aaron received all of Jonas's personal
property, valued at $393.30. The personal estate included three horses,
three cows, a steer, and a calf; farm equipment and tools; harvested
crops; a pewter platter and five plates; and $15 of "clothes of the
dead." Executors: Cpt. Caleb Wheeler and Stephen Baldwin. Witnesses:
Rev. Alex. C. McWhorter (Presbyterian minister and very pro-Revolution)
and Josiah Harrison. Annulment witnesses: McWhorter, Joseph Ball,
Jonathan Sayre. Inventory by Sayre and David D. Crane, sworn to Stephen
Baldwin. Eight known children.
