Isaac DeWitt b. perhaps c. 1741 m. Jerusha Price b. 25 May 1751 daughter of Samuel Price and Sarah Perrin of Frankford, Sussex County, New Jersey. Isaac was taxed in Newton township (that portion that is now Frankford), Sussex County in 1773 with 10 acres, 4 horses/cattle; 1774, 21 acres and 4 horses/cattle. He is perhaps the Isaac DeWitt, Sr., in the 1793 Sussex County light horse militia, third company. The name of Jerushey DeWitt appears on the 1797 membership list of the First Baptist Church of Wantage. Will of Isaac dated 28 July 1811 Frankford township named wife "Gerusha" to have 1/3 of moveable and real estate and house we now live in. Residue of estate divided among children, John, Isaac, Ann, Caty, Elizabeth, heirs of Gerusha, Jemiah, Sarah, Lucy, and Subah. Daughter, Mary, now Janes, $1.


Inventory dated 25 Jan 1813 and Will proved 9 Feb 1813. Jerusha signed by mark. Perhaps buried in Frankford Plains Cemetery, no marker. At his death, Isaac left about 175 acres of land, which was all sold by his estate (L2:108, N2:140, S2:356). Jerusha removed with some of her children to Knox County, Ohio, perhaps c. 1818.

Jerusha purchased property 29 Apr 1820 (D:595-6) in Knox County, Ohio from John P. Lindley and his wife, Susannah, being in Section 2, Township 7, Range 14. Jerusha DeWitt of Chester township deeded (O:60) 32 acres of this purchase on 13 Dec 1828 to Benjamin Pitman for $1 for "love and affection which I bear towards my daughter Jemima wife of the said Benjamin Pitman of Franklin township, in said County of Knox," containing 32 acres and 132 perches known as lot no. 3. On this same date Jerusha deeded
(H:138-9) to "my daughter Susannah Dalrymple" of Marion County for $1 the southeast corner of her 1820 purchase, containing 32 acres and 137 perches known as lot 4. Also, on this same date, Jerusha deeded (M:324-5) the northeast corner of her 1820 purchase to Charles Mann for $1 for "love and
affection which I bear towards my daughter Asuba Mann wife of the said
Charles Mann of Marion County" containing 32 acres and 137 perches known as
lot 1. Jerusha signed by mark on all land transfers. After selling these
three parcels there remained 32 acres and 137 perches in the northwest
corner of her 1820 purchase, which she sold (O:61) 23 Aug 1831 while a
resident of Knox County to Benjamin Pitman for $120.00 and known as lot 2
(present Wayne township) in Section 2, Township 7, Range 14. Jerusha is not
enumerated with any of her known children (John DeWitt, Azuba Mann,
Elizabeth Hazen, Susannah Dalrymple, Isaac DeWitt, or Catherine Struble)
living in Ohio in 1830. Perhaps living with Jemima Pittman or another
daughter whose residence has not been located in 1830. Jerusha was living
23 Aug 1831 when she deeded the last of her land, but at what date she died
we are uninformed.
