  THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, 1943, by Alexander C Flick, pp 24-5: "PETER BEBOUT [6708-2393], born after 1721 at Piscataway, N.J., married (1) SARAH JEWELL [6709-2393]. Littell ^ gives the date as Dec. 1, 1767, which cannot be correct. He probably meant Dec. 1, 1747. He mar. (2), about 1749, SARAH DARLING [6840-2347], 'a half sister of William Parrot, Sr. [9372-3395],' who lived on or near Stony Hill Road not far from Long Hill (Lit. 37, 312). ^^ This fact indicates that his second marriage was after his removal to Long Hill. From Piscataway he removed to Morris Co., N.J., and settled on a farm on the north side of Long Hill. In 1852 Littell made an attempt to set down facts about his family, and stated that they had lived on Long Hill for nearly a century. ^^^ If this is correct, Peter Bebout located in his new home around 1750. Peter Bebout joined the Presbyterian Church at New Providence (Gardner MS. notes. VIII:105). In 1769, either he or his uncle Peter (No. 3) [6703-2442] subscribed 14 shillings to the support of Rev. Jonathan Elmer [6770-3114] ^^^^ of Turkey (PNJHS, 3 Ser. 3:175). According to the New Jersey Census of 1772 he was living in 1772 in Morris Co. with a large family of 4 males, two between the ages of 15 and 50, and two under the age of 16; one female over 16 (probably his wife), and 4 under 16 (Gardner MS. Notes VIII:104). On April 28, 1780, Peter Bebout received from Joseph Lewis, Quartermaster at Morristown, N.J., Certificate No. 870 for $600.00 Continental money, and on Sept. 12, 1780, he received certificate No. 1280 for $1,157.30 for carting up to March 1, 1780 (Quarter-master General's Department No. Voucher 1129, No. 2 Voucher 1381). Peter Bebout made his will Jan. 25, 1782. In it he mentions his wife Sarah, his sons Ebenezer [6710-2394], William [6841-2445/2446], Peter, Jr. [6842], Lewis [6848], and youngest son Stephen [6845-2455], not yet 21, and daughters Abigail [6844-2438], Mary [6846-2451], Martha [6847-2452], and Nancy [6849-2462] (Will M:68, Secy. of State, Trenton, N.J.). Aaron S. Bebout in a letter of March 21, 1916, to Sadie A. Bebout of Amity, Pa., stated that Peter Bebout died on Long Hill 13 or Aug. 23, 1784 (Lit.:37)." FOOTNOTES ^ FAMILY RECORDS, OR GENEALOGIES OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF PASSAIC VALLE (And Vicinity), by John Littell, 1981, p 37: "PETER BEBOUT [6708-2393/2437] married, December 1st, 1767, Sarah Jewel [6709-2393], and had a son, Ebenzer [6710-2394], who also removed to the west." ^^ Ibid., "Peter Bebout, married, 2d, Sarah Darling [6840-2437], half-sister of William Parrot, Sen [9372-3395], and had other children." ^^^ Ibid., "This family has lived on the north side of Long Hill, now nearly a century." ^^^^ Ibid. p 148, "REV. JONATHAN ELMER [6770-3114] was born in Norwalk, Conn.' the 4th June, 1727. He married Amy Gale [10820-3114], near Goshen, Orange county, New York. He came to Turkey [NJ], and became the stated minister of the Presbyterian church and congregation the 1st of October, 1757, and was installed the 13th November, 1765, and continued the pastor till the 14th Oct. 1793, when he was dismissed, and was never afterwards settled. He died 5th June, 1807, aged 80 years; his wife Amy, died 24th July, 1812, aged 94 years. They had children" THE BEBOUT FAMILY IN FLANDERS AND NORTH AMERICA, 1943, by Alexander C Flick, p 26: "JOHN BEBOUT [6707-2464], by at Piscataway, N.J. Aug. 25, 1729, ^ married about 1747, when apparently he was only 18 years of age, MARY THURMAN [6906-2464]. He settled at Vealtown (Somerville) in Somerset Co., N.J. This was about six miles across the valley from Long Hill in Morris Co, # [NJ], where his brother [Peter 6708-2393/2437] lived. He joined the Presbyterian Church at Basking Ridge, N.J. FOOTNOTE ^ "This date is based on the family Bible, copied by Ella B. McBurney of Canonsburg [Washington Co] Pa., Dec. 3, 1928. The year may have been recorded from memory. The statement in the Bible that John was 'born in Holland' is clearly an error."

Peter Layton). + one son 6 horses, 9 chickens, 1 pig)."
