• Notes

  In June 1780 during the American Revolution, British forces on Staten Island mad a sortie through Elizabehtown in an abortive attempt to capture the village of Chatham on the Passaic River and ultimately the American military stores at Morristown. The British were turned back as sharply fought engagement at Connecticut Farms. Before retreating, they set fire to the little village, destroying some thirty buildings, including even the Presbyterian church. David Bonnell’s house and barn were burnt, whatever wouldn’t burn was stolen, and even his orchard was destroyed. In 1789 he submitted an appraisal of the loss to the State Legislature, but never received any compensation, This list can be read in great detail in “New Jersey in the Revolution 1763-1783.
