| Notes |
- 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.
