"A Diary from April, 1772, to April, 1778, kept by Miss Jemima Condict of Essex County, was presented last year to the New Jersey Historical Society by Mr. Samuel W. Baldwin, Vice-President of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., of Newark, great-grandson of the Aaron Harrison whom Jemima married, as stated below. Among many personal features, including neighborhood occurrences, it gives dates of deaths of various persons in the vicinity where she resided in Essex County, and these, now arranged in alphabetical order, are given below, although in some instances the dates are not precise.

Daniel was a Lieut.-Colonel in the Revolution and eldest son of Samuel Condict, who first located lands between the First and Second Mountains in Essex County. The year the diary closes Miss Condict married (1778) Major Aaron Harrison, as his first wife, but she died a year after marriage, Nov. 14, 1779."

Also, Daniel's will shows all children and wife as Condict, NJ Archives, Calendar of Wills.
Both names are correct, but history seems to show the original surname was spelled Condict, with the second "c".
New Jersey Archives Sources: Samuel's son,Daniel, has his will showing Condict for his children, as per the NJ Archives, and is so noted on ancestry.com (NJ Colonial Documents, Calendar of Wills, 1781-1785, at pages 85, 86).
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) also shows this Revolutionary family lineage as Condict in their GRS database.
