Peter, II, of Peter Condict (of "John Condict the Norman ancestor"), and Mary Harrison/Harison(of Samuel of Newark, NJ), whose name, along with the first three generations is memorialized by "family" in a gravestone memorial erected by John's great,great grandson, Hon. Silas Condict, linked here: John Condict and at his father, Peter Condict's memorial.*

SOURCE for SURNAME: John, Peter's grandfather, is found as Candet--corrected to Condict by archivist/family in the NJ Archives, during the 1700 Horse Neck Indian Land Purchase and Riots. The ancestor's surname is noted several times as Condict @: ARCHIVES OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY: "Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey (1738-1847), by William A. Whitehead, @ V. VI, of the NJ Archives.

This memorial is the foremost historical monument/memorial to John Condict, the Norman ancestor and his son, Peter, and it names four generations of the tree by family members, not by others who came up with other surname spelling variants.
Peter married Phebe Dodd/Dod and their issue was: Sarah Howard(Shadrach), Joseph, Rhoda Pruden(Peter), Nathaniel, Ebenezer, Silas, Phebe Day (Silas) & later Axtell(Maj. Henry) & Peter.
For Peter's seven children (Samuel, Peter, John, Nathaniel, Mary, Philip, Isaac) we find: Philip, Peter, Isaac and Nathaniel carried on the Condict surname (with the 2nd "c") for their marriage and burial names, although history shows some references to Cundit for births. Samuel has a headstone as Conduit, but headstones can be wrong as found on this site. Conduitt or Conduit as the surname cannot be found anywhere else in the lineage, nor in church records, on other headstones.

In the New Jersey Historical Society housed Revolutionary War-era 1753 diary of Jemima Condict, she documents her father's lines (Daniel), and her grandparents (Samuel Condict/Mary Dodd) as Condict, and this is noted many times by many who have researched/translated the diary. Nathaniel Cundit is in some church records, but church records show Condict for marriage,death,burial from the First Presbyterian Church of Morristown, NJ records.

In reference to other surname spellings, the Condit authored/indexed genealogy books show Cunditt for "John the Norman ancestor" in a 1709 will, written by someone else, and made 31 years after John/Peter's arrival from Wales to Newark. Note: John signed with a mark not a signature --which raises questions for several reasons: A father and son would not have different surnames to pass on,yet the Condit Family Association genealogy authors' unsigned will reportedly shows this, naming John as Cunditt & his son Peter as Cundit. Why after 30 years in America, wouldn't John have learned English? To make a will in 1709 and sign his own signature in English? To know his own surname spelling, and that of his only surviving son Peter? Yet, Cundit is used in the same will for John's seven grandchildren. Why wouldn't Peter (age 30+), had his father, John, name he and his children as Cunditt, the same name for John-- a surname rarely found in historical archives, and one spelled or misspelled by others. and, why,one year later, after John's 1713 death, do the Condit genealogy book authors find Cundict, in a will for Peter, who had just inherited from his father John (d. 1713), as Cundit? A signature of Cundict or is it Condict, is written in incursive with the "u" seemingly an "o." The family knew John the ancestor's name was Condict, and hence the only monument for John and his son Peter shows Condict.

Some 50 years after the memorial/gravestone was erected, the 1885 Condit Family Association Condit -authored/indexed genealogy book was published,saying Condit was the accepted surname, yet it appears no Condicts were involved with the Condit branch to agree to this, and they would not have contradicted their own family memorial/gravestone spelling, naming many of the early generations as Condict.

Condicts were mostly Presbyterians, with family Bibles, with family names passed on, from which names were recorded. They were buried in cemeteries whose churches kept records (baptisms,marriages and burials), some of which were burned in the Revolutionary & Civil Wars.

Source for Condict Surname: The New Jersey Archives: 1695 New Jersey State Archives: "Early Germans of New Jersey,Part I, 1893"; & in "Documents Relating to Colonial History of the state of New Jersey", v. XV, page pages 530-533, where John Canduct & John Candet (the same person as the ancestor John) are noted & corrected by archivists/family to Condict, for John the ancestor, the grandfather of this Peter Condict, so noted at FAG memorial # 12179447 above.

Inscription on the memorial: (by original creator Rich...thanks for sharing and passing it on!):
"Of Norman descent, from Wales to America in 1678-died in Newark in 1713, leaving one son Peter who died in 1714. His sons were Samuel, Peter, John, Nath., Philip, and Isaac. Peter 2nd. died in Morristown in 1768. His sons were Joseph, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, Silas, & Peter. Peter 3rd died in July 1774 and left 3 sons Edward, Byram and Lewis. His widow Anna Byram died July 8, 1826."

The first and only historical memorial to John the Norman ancestor @ JOHN CONDICT

Mayflowers: Three of Peter's( of Peter, of John Condict the ancestor) sons-- Peter, Silas and Col. Ebenezer, married three of John and Priscilla (Mullins ALDEN'S great, great,great granddaughters: Huldah (Capt./Col. Ebenezer Condict); Anna/Annie (Silas Condict);and Abigail Byram (Peter Condict),... all daughters of Abigail ALDEN Byram/Ebenezer Byram, of Abigail's ALDEN lines: Ebenezer Alden/, of Isaac Alden, of Joseph Alden to John Alden/Priscilla Mullins of the Mayflowers.

Note: Many descendants/others have used Peter's lineage, via his son, Ebenezer Condict's, Revolutionary War record to join Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR); note, Captain (or Col.?) Ebenezer Condict's surname was unfortunately changed by someone at DAR to Condit, and is historically inaccurate as such and in a search shows Condit.
Source: Ebenezer appears in DAR's archives as Condict: specifically @ its own magazine: "DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MAGAZINE, @ V. XLVIII, Jan.-June, 1916" @ page 202. SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (SAR) documents EBENEZER CONDICT as Condict. The First Presbyterian Church of Morristown, New Jersey documents him at its grave index and records.

Surname Source: The Jemima Condict Revolutionary War Diary, housed by the NJ Historical Society: shows numerous colonial family surnames besides Condict surnames. It documents Jemima's father, DANIEL CONDICT, his father (Jemima's grandfather/grandparents),SAMUEL CONDICT,of the third generation of the tree (misspelled by people on this site as Condit),... names so noted on the John the Norman Ancestor and Peter's gravestone monument, along with his siblings: SAMUEL, PETER, JOHN, NATHANIEL, PHILIP & ISSAC, omitting MARY CONDICT GOULD, but adding 4-5th generations of Peter's lines.
