Served in Revolutionary War8
United with the Presbyterian church at Orange in 1804, and was an acting trustee at the building of the present First Presbyterian church. He removed with his family to Delaware county, Ohio, in 1833.
Simon Condit was the first of the Condit family to settle in Delaware County, Ohio. His son, Jotham, and grandson, Edgar Condit, had walked to Ohio from New Jersey in 1829 or 1830. In 1833 Simon Condit, with his sons, Alvin P. and Jotham, arrived in Delaware County and Simon immediately purchased eighty acres of land next to Van Dorn’s tavern, on which he resided until his death. His widow, Elizabeth, who was his second wife, survived him several years; she died and was buried in Truro township, Franklin county, Ohio, where she had passed her declining years with her daughter, the wife of Jonathan Noe.
These first settlers of Trenton township immediately secured the stated means of grace, and met from Sabbath to Sabbath for divine worship, under the preaching of Rev. Ahab Jenks and Rev. Mr. Washburn. The meetings were held at VanDorn's tavern, which was built in 1829, of brick, and still stands in a good state of preservation. In those early times it was a popular stopping place for emigrants, on the thoroughfare from Zanesville and Newark, Ohio, to Delaware, the county seat of Delaware county. Here, also, the Trenton Presbyterian church was duly organized, and of its members who were Condits at the organization were Simon and his wife, Elizabeth; Electa, daughter of Simon; Alvin P. Condit and his wife, Maria; Mary, wife of Jotham Condit; Asenath, the widow of Joseph Smith Condit (1623), and Dorcas, daughter of Smith. Happy beginning of a church, of whose later history it might be said: "The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.”1092,8
