NOTES ON THE DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE MURDOCK OF PLAINFIELD, CONNECTICUT(*)

FIRST GENERATION

1. GEORGE makes his first appearance in the records, so far as is known, in the notice of the birth of his daughter Elizabeth in Preston, Connecticut, in 1762. The inference is that he was a resident of Preston at that time. On March 5, 1768, he bought land in Plainfield, the adjoining town, the deed stating that he was then a resident of Plainfield, and he continued to live there until his death. Nothing has yet been discovered concerning the ancestry or relatives of George. The dates of birth of his children indicate that he was born before 1730. He is supposed to have had two wives. The name of the first is unknown, but the second was Elizabeth Duncan, the widow of Robert Carr.
The records of Preston mention several Murdocks who were living in that town at the same time as George, and it is a natural inference that they were in some way connected with him. The relationship of this group is shown in the will of Andrew Murdock of Brooklyn, Connecticut, but this will makes no mention of George, who may, nevertheless, have been a brother of Andrew, and possibly the oldest of the family. The parentage of both Andrew and George is unknown. They cannot be connected with either the Roxbury or the Saybrook line. There are two possibilities of a descent from John of Plymouth, - one through his son James, who was born January 14, 1694-5, and forthwith disappears from the records, and the other through his grandson Robert, born August 4, 1713, although the latter seems to be too young to be the father of George. Investigation of records may show some fact as yet undiscovered. If none appears, the only explanation would be that the whole group were immigrants. George died in Plainfield September 22, 1778, his wife dying on (*)With the exception of some material from Connecticut Vital and Probate Records, this section has been compiled from family records furnished by descendants of Daniel2 in Otsego County, New York, to whom the compiler expresses his thanks. September 30, both from dysentery. Administration of his estate was granted on November 17, 1778, to his two sons.
Children:
2. i. GEORGE2.
ii. MARGARET, m. Henry Head in Plainfield before 1778. They moved to Hartwick, N. Y., where she d. Aug. 26, 1816, aged 64 yrs. 5 mos. and 26 days. This would indicate the date of her birth as Feb. 20, 1751-2. She is supposed to have had two sons:
1. William3 Head.
2. Henry Head.
3. iii. DANIEL, b. Mar. 4, 1754.
iv. ELIZABETH, b. in Preston, Conn., bapt. Aug. 8, 1762. She m. James Douglass of Plainfield before Nov., 1778. They were living there in 1798. The census of 1790 gave his household as "2 males over 16, 2 males under 16 and 4 females."

SECOND GENERATION

2. GEORGE2, JR. (George1) first appears in the records in 1778. He was appointed one of the administrators of his father's estate, November 17, 1778, in Plainfield, Connecticut. He was living in Plainfield in 1790, the census of that year recording his household as consisting of two
males over sixteen, four under sixteen and seven females. In 1792 he was one of the original members of the Baptist church in Plainfield on its organization. The name of his wife appears in the land records as Huldah, her surname being unknown. In 1814 George and his wife deeded their home farm to their son Joshua, who executed a life lease of the property to them, and also gave a mortgage deed to be paid, after the death of George and Huldah, to Andrew, Charlotte, Betsey, Tamsen, Wheeler, Ephraim, and Mehitable Murdock. In 1815 these grantees gave Joshua a quitclaim on this mortgage. These transactions indicate that George and his wife both died in Plainfield, and furnish what may probably be considered a list of his children. The suspicion already expressed that George1 may have been a brother of Andrew of Brooklyn, Connecticut, whose wife's name was Tamsen, is revived by the fact that this list contains the names of Andrew and Tamsen. He is probably the George Murdock who is recorded as a member of Captain Branch's company of Colonel Johnson's regiment of militia serving in Rhode Island from February 1 to March 15, 1778.
Children (from land records):
i. JOSHUA3.
ii. ANDREW.
iii. CHARLOTTE.
iv. BETSEY.
v. TAMSEN, m. Gideon Mowrey.
vi. WHEELER.
vii. EPHRAIM, probably the one who served in the army at New London from July 27 to Sept. 16, 1813.
viii. MEHITABLE, m. Ichabod Henry, Jan. 1, 1815.
(Two others died Sept., 1778, of dysentery.)

3. DANIEL2 (George1) was born March 4, 1754, and married Luranah Mathewson, daughter of George of Voluntown, Connecticut. She died at Hartwick, New York, June 26, 1846. Her name is also written Mattison. Daniel is probably the one of that name who answered the Lexington Alarm. He enlisted in Capt. Waterman Clifts' company of Col. Samuel Parsons' regiment on May 8, 1775, and was discharged
December 15, 1775. He is probably the Daniel who enlisted September 7, 1776, in Capt. Andrew Backus' company of Col. John Douglass' regiment, which joined the American army in the State of New York. He lived in Plainfield, Connecticut, but is not registered there in the census of 1790. Luranah was one of the original members of the Baptist church in that town at its organization in 1792. Daniel appears in the
land records as a resident of Plainfield in 1798, and again in January, 1801. On June 24, 1805, his brother-in-law, Henry Head of Hartwick, Otsego County, New York, deeded to Daniel Moredock of Hartwick land claimed as heirs of George Moredock, late of Plainfield, deceased. Daniel is said by family tradition to have lived some time in Vermont, but there is no known record of his having bought land there. He died in Hartwick, August 3, 1813.
