SPOUSE: David Conger, Sr. was the 2nd spouse of Mary (Darby) Green.
BIOGRAPHY:
It is thought that David Conger Sr. was married twice. There is a tradition to that effect and that he had a son, Ishmael, by the first marriage -- that he was only married about a year when his wife died. An Ishmael Conger does appear in the 1790 census of Washington county, PA, where Elias D. Conger and David Conger Jr. (his brother) settled in 1790. Elias D. and David Conger were half-brothers of Ishmael. CFA I, p. 98MILITARY:
David died during the Revolutionary War, circumstances unknown. From the office of the Adjutant General in Trenton, NJ we find the following:
It is certified that the records of this office show that David Conger
served as a Private in Middlesex County, New Jersey Militia, received
certificate 1571 amounting to 28:8:2 for the depreciation of his
continental pay in Middlesex County, New Jersey Militia during the
Revolutionary War.Any of his descendants are eligible for membership in the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution.

CHILD: Ancestral File lists a child, Ishmael Conger, born Abt. 1761 at Woodbridge, Middlesex, NJ. According to CFA II, p. 119, "An ISHMAEL CONGER was listed in the 1790 census of Washington county, PA. Speculation was that he may have been a s/o David 1741 and a wife before Mary Darby Green. The will for this man is under the name CONYERS. He died 8 July 1835. He mentioned his wife Mary, sons-in-law Jonathan Thomas and Henry Devore; also a grandson Ishmael Devore."
Mary DarbyPARENTS: William Darby and Mary
AKA: Mary Darby Green
AKA: This is Mary Darby who was first married to a Mr. Green. She is often referred to as, Mary Darby Green in genealogy notes. Robert Guilinger stated that as far as he has been able to determine she did not have any children with Mr. Green and that none were mentioned in the Conger History by Grace Haegler Conger written in 1941.
PARENTS: Mary Darby Green, his wife, [wife of David Conger] was a daughter of Deacon William Darby and his wife, Mary. Deacon William was the son of William and Elizabeth Darby who were of a group of English settlers of Elizabethtown, N.J. in 1688. He appears in the Scotch Plains' land owners of 1690. His children according to records, were William, b. Abt. 1693, Benjamine, John, and Ephraim. Deacon William Darby organized the Scotch Plains Baptist Church on 5 Aug 1747.

DEATH: According to Robert Guilinger she died Abt 1796 at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Reuben and Mary E. (Conger) Wright in Morris Twp., Greene Co., PA. It is of interest to note that there is also a Morris Twp., in Washington Co., PA and her son David Conger Jr. died there.

(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. I, p. 330-332 - Maxine Crowell Leonard)EMIGRATION: He was "from Penn."
SPOUSE: Jonathan Conger was the 2nd spouse of Mary (Frederick) Glass.
COMMENT: May have been the Jonathan Conger who died in Pike Co., IN, and served in the Revolution. (CFA I, p. 328)
RECOLLECTIONS: Who was this Jonathan Conger?
Jonathan Conger and Joshua Harbin had a hunting camp on the White River, near Buena Visa, now Clay Township, Pike county, Indiana, and furnished the Fort at Vincennes with meat. He carried a "Seal" to George Rogers Clark at Kaskaska in 1780.Jonathan Conger made a coffin for Sebastain Frederick, Sr., who was scalped in 1786, according to the Frederick Administration file in the Vincennes courthouse.
Mrs. Ruth Fish, treasurer of the DAR Vincennes (Ind.) Chapter, was instrumental in Jonathan Conger being recognized as a Patriot. On 3 May 1970 she wrote, "Thought you would like to know that there are 3 - DAR members in on the Jonathan Conger, Sr. of Gibson county, Ind. line. They are as follows: Sebastian Conger, from Wisconsin, just a new member 1970, Betsy Conger Davidson, wife of Joseph Davidson from Virginia, Matilda Davidson, dau-in-law of Jonathan Conger, Levi Conger - in process at Washington, D.C." Mrs. Fish resided at 1319 Vigo Street, Vincennes, Ind. 47591.
Jonathan Conger could have been the son of Jonathan Conger, b. Abt. 1710, whose birth was approximated as about 1745. This Jonathan and his two brothers, David, Abt. 1741, and John, Abt. 1743, all served in the Revolution from Middlesex county, New Jersey. There is no further record of this Jonathan, except he is mentioned in his father's will in 1779. His brother, David, died in 1778 and his widow and sons, Elias Darby Conger, 1773, and David Conger, 1767 moved to Pennsylvania in 1791. The descendants of Elias moved on to Dearborn county, Indiana. If he was this Jonathan, he may have preceeded his brothers to Pennsylvania, and his life as a hunter and soldier would account for marrying a widow later in life.
He could not have been the Jonathan Conger, Jr. in Rowan county, North Carolina in 1790, as Jonathan's first child was born in 1790 in Knox county, Indiana. Jonathan of Rowan county seems to have disappeared after 1790 but his brother, Isaac, settled in McLean county, Illinois.
Jonathan Conger, b. 1742, had a son, Jonathan, born about 1764, in Essex county, New Jersey, who moved to Philadelphia before 1822 -- after the death of Jonathan Conger of Indiana.
William Russell Conger of Dallas, Texas, wrote on 23 Aug 1969, "The Jonathan [Conger] of Pike county, Indiana is in my opinion a member of the German line around Philadelphia and the Palantine group started originally by Jacob. I can't see any of our line in western Ohio or Indiana prior to the migration into Monroe county, Ohio, nor did any of the group move down from the western reserve -- too many Indians."
(Jacob Conger of the Palatines arrived, 24 Aug 1728, on the "Mortonhouse" and settled around Philadelphia. However, no known descendants of this branch are in this book [CFA I]. Your compiler feels that Jonathan Conger of Indiana is Jonathan Conger from Middlesex county, New Jersey, but nothing can be proved at this time.)

BIOGRAPHY:
The essay below, by Daniel Lockwood, explains how the family of Jonathan Conger and Mary (Frederick) Glass was linked to the family tree of John Belconger after the publication of Volume One of "The Conger Family of America."Jonathan Conger born 1745 is a descendent of John Belconger and Mary Kelly.
John Belconger and Mary (Kelly) 5th child was John Conger.
John Conger b. 24 May 1674 m. Mary Tuttle.
John and Mary (Tuttle) Conger son Jonathan b. 1710 or 1716.
Jonathan m. Ann Engard.
Jonathan and Ann (Engard) Conger son Jonathan b. 1745 and d. 1815.It is true that the exact place and date of his birth has not been determined.
The work done by Maxine Leonard, Mrs. Beulah M. Jackson of Miami FL (not a Conger, but a genealogist who worked with Mrs. Thompson); Mrs. Leona M. Robertson of Hazleton, IN (Leona May Frederick, b. 23 Sep 1907 who married Elrick H. Skidmore and Lee Robertson); and Mrs. Lesba Thompson determined that Jonathan, b. in 1745, was the son of Jonathan and Ann (Engard) Conger. This work was done after CFA I was published. These women researched court records and documents of PA and NJ and determined the parents of Jonathan. What records and documents they researched I don't know but when I talked to Maxine and Lesba on different occasions they both assured me that they were correct.
Mrs. Thompson, born 17 Aug 1912 at Evansville, IN, was married on 26 June 1933 to D.B. Thompson. She published, "Jonathan Conger of Knox and Gibson Counties and his Descendants," which lists about 1600 descendants. I am not aware of which libraries might have copies.
I remember Maxine Leonard telling me, almost in these words, "After years of searching records, documents, census, probate, church, family bibles, immigration, ship records at ports of entry, records in England, there is no doubt that Jonathan of Knox county, Indiana is the son of Jonathan and Ann Engard Conger."
[Extracted by Daniel Lockwood from the book of Mrs. Thompson.] Jonathan Conger migrated from PA where he was listed as a carpenter to Indiana sometime around 1774. In the Spring of 1778 Jonathan Conger and Joshua Harbin had a camp located a short distance above what is now Giro, Indiana, on the south side of White River. They were engaged as hunters, supplying fresh meat to Ft. Sackville, formerly Fort Vincent or Fort Vincennes, located in what was then a part of Great Britain's Province of Canada.
These two hunters were sympathetic to the cause of the American Colonists, and with the coming of George Rogers Clark, the conqueror of the Northwest, this sympathy became more evident. Jonathan Conger was so trusted that in 1780 he was selected by John Doge, then at Ft. Vincent, to carry to Col. Clark, then at Express Falls, Ohio his official seal.
Jonathan Conger was listed as a settler of Knox County, Indiana Territory, as early as 1780. His name is included in a roster of the militia at Vincennes, as returned by Major Francois Vigo, on 19 July 1790. The men listed on this roster saw service against the Indians through the campaign of Tippecanoe in 1811.
(Comment by Daniel Lockwood, "This battle is by far the most important battle as far as changing American History than any battle ever fought in America. If this battle had never been fought there is a good chance that the Civil War would never have occured, and if so it would have been pushed back to the late 1800's.")Sometime in 1788/89, Jonathan Conger married the daughter of another Revolutionary patriot, Mary Frederick, widow of John Glass and the mother of two small sons. Her father, Sebastian Frederick, Sr., served as a Ranger on the Frontiers 1778-83, Washington County, PA. In 1785, after residence in Washington County, PA since about 1762, he migrated to Knox County, Indiana Territory, with his daughter, Mary. In 1786/87, he was scalped by Indians one night when he was guarding a sugar camp about six miles southeast of Vincennes.

Mary FrederickFATHER: Sebastian Frederick, born in Germany, who arrived in America on 26 Sep 1749 on the ship, "Dragon."
(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. I, p. 330-331 - Maxine Crowell Leonard)FATHER: The father of Mary Frederick was Sebastian Frederick, born in Germany, the son of Johanne Frederick. On 22 Aug 1778 at Fort Pitt, PA he married, Mary Anna Maria Catt, born May 1757 in Germany. Mary Frederick and Mary Anna Maria (Catt) Frederick have been confused. Sometimes one may find that they both died on the same day, 5 Nov 1846, and buried in the "Old Conger Cemetery," Clay Township, Pike Co., IN. Mary Frederick, the daughter of Sebastain Frederick died on 5 Nov 1846, not his wife. Mary Anna Maria (Catt) is not Mary Frederick's mother.

163. John Sutton
John SuttonCONFLICT-ERROR: The Ancestral File says he was born in Dobbs Co., NJ and the Ancestral File seems to speculate that his children were born in Dobbs Co., NC.

What happened to Dobbs County?
BIRTH: There is another John Sutton in the Ancestral File, listed in position to be a sibling of this John Sutton. His information: b. 16 Jan 1717, Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ and died at the same place, with no death date given. Were there really 2 John Suttons or is this a conflict of birth date?
