Gift of Mrs. Alex M. Linnett, 1921.
Daniel Tichenor (1748-1831) of Newark, New
Jersey was the son of Daniel Tichenor (1704-1776) and Susanna Guerin
(1714-1778). He married Abigail Coe (1742-1826), with whom he had seven
children: Rachel (1769-1849), Sarah (1771-1776), Phebe (1772-1777), Isaac Coe
(1778-1850), Sarah (1779-1851), Gabriel (1781-1855), and Abigail
(1788-1861). Daniels brother Isaac Tichenor (1754-1838) served as a
justice of the Vermont Supreme Court from 1790-1797, was elected governor of
that state from 1797-1806, and was a United States Senator from 1815-1821.
Daniel Tichenor served in the
Revolutionary War as a lieutenant in Captain Elephalet Johnsons regiment, and
fought in the battles of Monmouth and Connecticut Farms. Afterwards he
became a farmer in Newark, and his family lived in a large house on Broad
Street, the lot extending from Tichenor Street to Pennington Street. The
family were members of The First Presbyterian Church.
The executor of Daniel Tichenors estate
was Ashbel W. Corey, and the estate seems to have been divided among Daniels
five living children.
