Passed lands to cousin - Patrick Oliphant email from Evylene A. Canup, 15 Dec 2001; Descendants of Walter Oliphant ; The first Oliphant I have a record of who came to the Colonies was William Oliphant who was a passenger on the "Henry & Francis" in 1685. It is generally believed that he was Duncan's brother. The "Henry & Francis" was a prison ship from Scotland. Our Colonial ancestor, Duncan Oliphant who was born 1682 in Perthshire, Scotland, the son of David Oliphant. Duncan came to New York around 1695 and married in 1705 Mary Garrison; who was born 1686 in Scotland, the daughter of Lambert Garrison. They worshiped at the Old Dutch Church on Staten Island and the church records show that some of their children were baptized at this church. In the Census of Staten Island, New York, 1706, Stilwell's Vol. I list, Duncan Oliphant named as age 24 years. He was constable for the North Precinct, Richmond County, Staten Island, New York in 1709. Duncan moved his family in 1721-24 to East Amwell, New Jersey, where he had purchased a large tract of land in Hopewell Township, Burlington County, New Jersey (now Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey) where he was chosen Freeholder of Amwell Township. Until 1725 the Anglicans had heard services in their own houses. Then on January 22, 1725 William Lummox granted eleven acres of land to John Knowles and Duncan Oliphant in trust for an Anglican Church. Organized under Crown Charter as St. Andrew's the first church on this site was built. Today nothing remains of the original St. Andrew's but a fragment of the graveyard which may be seen next to the Old Yorke Inn in the village of Ringoes. It is said that Duncan Oliphant was buried in this graveyard.

David married Janet BARTON on 15 Feb 1663 in Falkland, Fife, Scotland. Janet (daughter of George Graham BARTON and Marjorie GRAEME) was born in 1655 in Brochellhirst, Scotland; died in 1685 in Tennent, Monmouth, New Jersey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The dates and associations listed are the 'most likely' although not all proven, as data is collected from many conflicting sources. Doug Goodman lists birthplace as Pentcaitland, Lothian, Scotland and date as either 1682 or 1685. James A. Willhite lists birth as 1668 in Perthsire. Willhite also lists marriage in about 1690 and immigration to US in about 1700. Gail Budda lists birth date in 1682 in Perthshire and immigration via Staten Island in about 1706.
Listed in census of Staten Island NY in 1706, Stillwell's vol. no. 1, aged 24 yrs. Will dated Feb. 12, 1732, proved Aug. 7th, 1734 (Sect. of States Office, Trenton N.J., xxxt104 Book H.H. Page 34.
Per: http://terisha4.tripod.com/kingreed/id9.html Duncan Oliphant was a member of the Anglican Church, and an active supporter of it even after he came to this country. He was well thought of enough to be appointed Constable of Staten Island. This indicates he was not in the same dire straits as John and Janet Gilchrist Oliphant (unproven and unlikely parents as speculated by some). He had the money to buy the property in New Jersey, though admittedly this could have come from the dowry of his wife. He named his eldest son David. Naming patterns followed in Scotland in that time period dictated that the eldest son be named after the father's father. This supports the other prevalent theory that he was the son of David Oliphant, born abt 1648 in Perthshire, Scotland, son of Sir Laurence Oliphant and his wife, Lillias Oliphant. Sir Laurence and his cousin, Lillias, married in 1634. She was the daughter of Patrick Oliphant his wife, Elizabeth. David died in 02 Feb 1717 in Edinburgh and is buried at Greyfriars Abby. I have been unable to find the name of his wife or any record of his children.
