MURDOCK GENEALOGY, DESC OF PETER OF SAYBROOK, pp. 206-207

Transcription:

5. JONATHAN5 (John2, Peter1) was born April 7,1745, in Saybrook, Connecticut. He married Keziah Bates of New York City. She died September 23,1820.

He graduated at Yale College in 1766. He became a clergyman and was settled first at Horse Neck, New York, but afterwards moved to Bozrah, Connecticut, where he passed most of his life, dying there in 1813. He was widely known throughout eastern Connecticut.

Children:

i. FRANCES4, b. 1778; cL 1822; m. Capt. William Coit at Norwich, Conn., Aug. 17,1800.

ii. REBEKAH, b. 1786; d. 1816; unm.

iii. JOHN BATES, entered the regular army, being commissioned First Lieutenant in the 25th infantry, Mar. 12, 1812. He was promoted to Captain, Apr. 6,1813; was wounded at the battle of Chrysler's Fields in Upper Canada, Nov. 11, 1813; brevetted Major Dec., 1814; transferred to the 6th infantry May 27, 1815; and died Sept. 5,1815. [Note: Bozrah church record abstracts say “Bates” died 1815. -mlm]

iv. BATES, d. Jan. 28,1787. [Note - this is the day of Bates’s baptism according to abstract of Bozrah church records. Infant baptism was not approved of in all churches - Connecticut’s puritan/congregationalist establishment tended to be very strict. -mlm]

- NOTE: Were there two Bates Murdocks, one who died in infancy in 1787 and John Bates Murdock, who was known as “Bates” at times? A NYC newspaper death notice listed him as Maj. John B Murdock. Or are they the same person, and the infant didn’t die on the day of baptism? Note there is no birth date given for John B here, and he was 28 when he died in 1815, the right age to have been born in 1787. I suspect they are one and the same.
