 General Notes:
On 1 Feb 1749, William Jayne of Goshen sold to James Tuthill of same for £380, 200 acres lying within the Ann Hoagland Patent, beginning at the northwest corner of Lot #4.
William and Tabitha and their family of 9 children moved to Lower Smithfield Township, Northampton County, PA in 1755.
Early in 1776 the Continental Congress organized at Brunswick, PA, Hart’s Flying Camp.
It was to be composed of battalions from all parts of the country, ready to serve anywhere.
Five of William James’ sons served in one of them, Col. Kaltius’ s Battallion. Timothy was chosen as a Captain and sent on a recruiting trip to Suffolk and Orange Counties where he successfully recruited members of the family.
The entire battalion was captured by the British. The officers were paroled but the privates nearly all died on the prison ships.
Exceptions were William Jayne IV and his cousin Samuel, who were paroled 1 Sep 1776.
William was later killed in the Battle of Fort Washngton in November 1776 and his only son, wounded in the same battle, died of his wounds in March 1777.
William married Tabitha Norton, daughter of Isaac Norton Jr. and Tabitha Jones, on September 3, 1735 in Brookhaven, Suffolk, New York, USA. (Tabitha Norton was born on October 13, 1713 in Brookhaven, Suffolk, New York, USA, died on July 24, 1808 in Middle Smithfield, Monroe, Pennsylvania, USA and was buried in 1808.)
