He was born on the 6th of February, 1756, in Newark, State of New-Jersey. His father died in August, 1757, and his mother the year following, leaving two children, Aaron, and his sister Sarah.

He'll do them because he loves me, you see." "You got the right idea, Saxon. Stick with it, an' you'll win out." Later, when she had put on her hat to start for the laundry, she found Tom waiting for her at the corner. "An', Saxon," he said, hastily and haltingly, "you won't take anything I've said... you know... about Sarah... as bein' in any way disloyal to her? She's a good woman, an' faithful.
"Indeed, we haven't it, good woman," repeated Nelly; "so take your answer." "Don't you know that's a lie?" said Sarah, addressing her step-mother. "You have it, if you wish to give it." "What's a lie?" said her father, starting, for he had again relapsed into his moodiness. "What's a lie? who who's a liar?"
The genuine will was destroyed and the "family lawyer," James, immediately after the funeral, produced and read "the last will and testament" of the dead woman.

Their previous strong attachment now ripened into Christian love.
