c))- Elizabeth Lecount m. Jonathan Scudder in 1777 at same Westfield Pres
church
I maintain that Elizabeth Lecount is Elizabeth Brecount, Daughter of
Solomon Brecount and brother of above Solomon Lecount/Brecount who was
baptised at St. John's Episcopal Church in Elizabeth NJ in 1753. I have no
direct proof that Elizabeth Lecount is Elizabeth Brecount.
- David Brecount, eldest brother of Elizabeth and Solomon Brecount, was the
bondmans for Jonathon Scudder's will in 1779.
