These according to Dr. Burch were Bibles, prayer books, flagon, two chalices, a paten, a communion cover, and a bell. Of these a chalice and paten remain and may be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, gallery H. 12. A photograph has recently been made at the instance of Mr. James M. Talbot.

On 17 November 1716 Abraham Titsworth and Margaret, his wife, sold to Nathaniel Britton, Esq., 80 acres on the South side of Staten Island, adjoining Nathaniel's other land, being 1/3 of 240 acres which Titsworth had purchased. The deed was acknowledged before Abraham Cole, Justice, recorded 28 Feb 1720/21, for Maj. Nathaniel Britton.

On 19 November 1716 Abraham Titsworth and wife sold to Nathaniel Britton, Esq., 160 acres, being 2/3 of the 240 acres on the South side of Staten Island, west of the Great Pond. The deed was acknowledged before Abraham Cole, Justice and recorded 8 July 1719.
Ibid.

Will dated 1 June 1729 proved 11 Nov 1729. Called Nathaniel Britton, Esq., of Richmond County, being "dangerously ill." He states that he has thirteen children now living, six sons and seven daughters, and names them as Nathaniel, Richard, Nicholas, Abigail, Elizabeth, Alice, Rebecca, John, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, and William. The first four having been provided for during my lifetime, the fifth and sixth having been partialy provided for. Gives to his wife, Elizabeth, one third of his personal property. Devises to son William, a lot of 60 acres, plus salt meadow at the head of the Fresh Kill purchased from James Dye, with condition that he (William) pay to grandson Nathaniel, son of son Abraham, deceased, the sum of 30 pounds when Nathaniel reaches lawful age. Calls daughter, Elizabeth, the wife of James Poullion; daughter Alice, the wife of John Coward. Mentions daughters Rebecca, Mary, Sarah, and Rachel as underage. Appoints wife Elizabeth and son John as executors. Witnessed by Lions (?) Stillwell, James Carmen, Daniel Sayre, Jr. (NYHSW 11:150) (Abstract here as per Britton Genealogy pp.8-9).
Ibid.

It appears, based upon the approximated ages of some of Nathaniel's older children, that Elizabeth Gerritson was not the mother of all of Nathaniel's children. It is apparent that Nathaniel had a first wife who has not been identified, and it is apparent that the six older children, Nathaniel, Richard, Nicholas, Abigail, Abraham and Elizabeth are from the first marriage. Alice is likely from the first marriage as she was married in 1729 which would place her birth before 1714. Rebecca was under age in 1729 which would place her birth between 1708 and 1728, therefore her mother cannot be determined. The last six, John, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, and William are likely from the second marriage to Elizabeth Gerritson.

Children by Elizabeth:
John Britton b. ca. 1714
Samuel Britton b. ca. 1715
Mary Britton b. ca. 1717
Sarah Britton b. 1719
Rachel Britton b. 5 Mar 1721, d. 1814
William Britton b. ca. 1723, d. 15 Mar 1804

Nathaniel Brittain was born to William and Mary (Collins) Brittain in Amwell Twp., Pennsylvania. He married Jane Simonton about 1769 and they were the parents of Samuel, R.B, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Robert, Jane, Sarah, Nathaniel and John. He died on October 2, 1817.

Like many families, the Revolution split the children of William and Mary into two camps. Three of their sons were Loyalists and fought for the crown during the Revolution while the other 3 sons fought for the colonies.

Family/Spouse: Jean Simonton. Jean (daughter of Robert Simonton and Mary McDowell) was born on 11 Jan 1750 in Bedminster, Somerset County, NJ; died on 8 Mar 1799 in Northampton County, PA; was buried in Scotch-Irish Presbyterian Cemetery, Martins Creek, Northampton County, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Zeboeth Brittain was born January 9, 1746 in Amwell Township, New Jersey to William and Mary (Collins) Brittain. He marrried Elizabeth Marr in about 1767. They were the parents of Mary, William, Joseph, David, Elizabeth, Rachel, John, James, Ellen and Sarah.

Zeboeth's mother Mary was of French descent and strongly suppored the colonies during the revolution. 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.

Zeb died on July 11, 1790.

From Sally Britton Shreeve:
"Zeboeth served for two seasons with Washington's Army. He fought at Fort Washington and at Strandsburg - was a summer at each place (Miller and Pursel). He was a Revolutionary Soldier from Northampton Co., PA (Oregon State Libary; 929.1/F53le by Charles A. Fisher pub. 1948 (A to Eppler (p. 67-70)From 1779, Pvt. in Co. of Capt. John Nelson 1779
To 1782, Co. of Capt. Hugh Gaston, 1st Class, 3rd Co., 5th Bat. Northampton County Militia.

Zebeoth may be found in U. S. Serial Set 12172 - 4. Easton is between the Lehigh and Deleware Rivers in Northampton Co.
MIL: "Zeboeth Brittain" (so spelled in the record) was still on the pay-roll of Capt. John Nelson's Company of Northampton County Militia in June 1779 (Pennsyvlania Archives, 5th Series, VIII, p. 659). He was 33 years old.

His brother Nathaniel was in this company at one time, but does not appear upon this pay roll. Zeboath (sic) also appears as a private in the Chester County Militia (Pennsylvania Archives, 4th Series, p. 271) He is said to have been in the battles of Stroudsburg and Fort Washington. Fort Washington is north of New York and was taken by the British in November 1776. Fort Penn was located at Stroudsburg in eastern Pennsylvania. Joseph and Elam (Alem) Marr were also in this captain John Nilson's Company. They were probably the brothers of Elizabeth Marr whom Zeboeth married." Source: "Brittain Genealogy" p. 5 by James E. Brittain.

"The Revolution almost collapsed during the winter of 1777-1778. Newport, New York, and Philadelphia were all held by the British, and Re-enforcements and supplies came to them steadily from over the sea, while Washington's Army at Volley forge was living miserably in a camp village of log huts." (Alber Bushnell Hart). It would be interesting to learn where old ZEB was at this time. Washington and Marshall over at Valley Forge, were asking where Thomas Jefferson was... Cornwallis did not surrender until October 19, 1781, so there was some activity during all the time of his service." "Brittain Genealogy" by James E. Brittain, (1936) p. 11

On the same day, he and his brothers Nathaniel and Samuel signed up with the Colonial militia and their younger brothers James, William, and Joseph signed with the Loyalist brigades. He was still on militia rolls in 1785."
