American patriot and Revolutionary War officer Col. David Condit (a.k.a. Conduit) died during the third year of the war. He was 43 at the time of his death, and the triumph of the cause he fought for was still several years away.
The son of Samuel and Mary (nee Dodd) Conduit/Condit, he married the former Joanna Williams. The couple had several children, including sons Japhia and Enoch, who also fought for American Independence during the Revolutionary War. Col. Condit's name is inscribed on the granite memorial erected by the Condit Family Association to honor their soldier-ancestors who lie buried in this churchyard, but his individual grave is elsewhere in the burial ground.
