Born c.1749, Adonijah Cundict, the son of Daniel and Ruth (nee Harrison) Condit, died at age 21, four years before the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, during which his younger brother Joel fought for American independence.
Adonijah's gravestone, which is made of the brown sandstone typically used in the New York Metro area during the colonial era, is somewhat old-fashioned for 1770, as it features a death's head in its tympanum rather than the soul effigy which became popular after the mid-1700's. It appears to be the work of William Grant, a Boston carver who came to Newark, NJ in the 1740's and remained active into the 1790's.
