Capt. Jacobus James Edsall, Sr.

Captain Jacobus James Edsall's decedents became the most Patriotic Sussex County New Jersey Family, who served in the Revolutionary War with his four sons, and has grandsons Soldiers to every war our nation has waged. His family enlisted from Vernon County, New Jersey. No family in New Jersey was more patriotic in the glorious struggle from 1776-1785 which our ancestors waged for the liberty of this country. A father and his four sons went through its hardships and dangers unscathed. The latter fact was fully as remarkable as their brave enlistment, for they were in the bloodiest battles of Brandywine, Monmouth and many others.

Jacobus Edsall (1724-1801) commanded a company in Col. Ephraim Martin's regiment, Nathaniel Heard's brigade, New Jersey Continental Line of the New Jersey Volunteers of the Continental Army. He married prob. in Sussex Co, Charlotte Barton, daughter of Benjamin Barton and Abigail Shaw and sister of Joseph Barton, a Sussex County loyalist. She was born 1732 in Goshen and died 1760. James married Hannah McWhorter, 1781. In 1777 James helped post bail for Joseph Barton who had been charged with receiving a captain's commission in the British Army, but Joseph Barton fled to take up his commission.
