• Notes

  A soldier in the war of the Revolution, and a Federalist in politics. He preached Presbyterianism, Methodism and Quakerism, but finally became a Freethinker and preached his own new doctrine until he died at the age of ninety-two years. From p. 970 of Beers, J.H. and co., Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania, 1893. Lot was a very large man, being about six feet seven inches in height. He was raised a Presbyterian, but in later life reformed to the Universal Salvation. Lot assisted all his children in acquiring homes and land during his lifetime. This accounts for his peculiar will in which he left only twenty-five cents to each of his surviving children and the remainder of his estate to his second wife Frances. Served in Morris Co., N.J. militia 1775-1776; served 1778 as a captain of Indian Spies and rangers with headquarters at Jarret's Fort, Greene Co., Pa. Private in Captain James Archer's Company, 4th class. He was born in Mendham Township, son of William; married 1) Elizabeth Hoge 2) Frances Willis; died in Greene Co., Pa. Pension N.J. Frances R6291 D.A.R. 118394
