Notes - William Brittain was born on October 15, 1754 in Amwell, New Jersey to William and Mary (Collins) Brittain. He married Christianna Moody in 1776. They were the parents of James and Adrianna. He died on March 30, 1813.
William's mother Mary was of French descent and strongly supported the colonies during the revolution. His father William however, was a devoted King's man. This division in the family influenced their children. The three youngest sons, William, James and Joseph were Tories and went to New Brunswick, Canada to fight for the crown. Nathaniel, Zeboeth and Samuel fought for the Colonies in the New Jersey forces.
