- Jemima_Condict abstract "Jemima Condict was born in a rural setting in the mountains of northwestern New Jersey on 24 August 1754. She spent her entire short life in the vicinity of Pleasantdale (now in West Orange), New Jersey, dying on 14 November 1779 at the age of twenty-five. Nonetheless, she managed to obtain sufficient education to be able to write with some facility, and obviously felt driven to do so. At the age of seventeen, in the spring of 1772, she began a diary, and made sporadic entries into it for the rest of her life.Condict titled her diary "J2M3M1 C59D3CT H2R B44K 19D P29," using a code that also appeared in a number of the diary's lines of verse. She used the numbers 1-9 to replace the letters a, e, i, o, u, y, t, s, and n, in that order. Thus, the title reads: "JEMIMA CUNDICT HER BOOK AND PEN". Jemima Condict variously spelled the family's name in her writings as "Cundict", "Condict", and "Condit".The only published full text of the diary is titled "Her Book, Being a transcript of the diary of an Essex County maid during the Revolutionary War". It was published in a collectors' edition of only 200 copies by the typographer Frederic Goudy and his wife Bertha Goudy. Two other books, one by Elizabeth Evans and the other by June Sprigg, contain many of Jemima Condict's entries.Jemima Condict was religiously devoted, and the majority of her diary consists of listings of religious teachings that she heard, with occasional commentary. Her writing provides a clear window into the intimate doings of her family and of her small community, as well as events of the Revolutionary War.News of the Boston Tea Party had clearly reached rural New Jersey, as Jemima Condict writes some ten months after that event."Saturday October first 1774. It seams wehave troublesome times a Coming for there is great Disturbance a Broad in the earth &they say it is tea that caused it. So then if theywill Quarel about such a trifling thing as thatWhat must we expect But war & I think orat least fear it will be so."Condict's brief mention of the inoculation of her cousins, presumably against smallpox using a weak strain of the disease, long before Edward Jenner developed cowpox-based vaccination, is of some scientific interest."Monday February 5, 1775, Was my Cou-sins Knockulated I am apt to think they willrepent there Undertaking before they Donewith it for I am Shure tis a great venter. ButSence they are gone I wish them Sucses AndI think they have Had good luck So far forthey have all Got home Alive But I fear Cou-sin N Dod Wont get over it well."An entry from March, 1775, describes a local party for some newly-weds. She makes reference to "horse neck kites," natives of Horseneck, NJ."Tuesday went up to my Sister ogdens andthere was a house full of people & we had agreat Sing indeed for the horse neck kites &the newarkites were Both assembled Togeth-er & there was the new maried Couple L W.Juner & you may be Shure they cut a finefiger for She is a Bounser Joan And he a littleCross Snipper Snapper snipe. they tell me heCryd When he was maried at which I Donta bit Wonder for I think twas anuf to makethe poor fellow bellow if he had his witsabout him, for I am shure She Can Beat him..."In her entry for April 23, 1775, she relates events that transpired in the aftermath of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The "Regulors" or "regulers" are “regular” British soldiers. “April 23. 1775. as every Day Brings New Troubels So this Day Brings News that yes- terday very early in the morning They Began to fight at Boston, the regulers. We hear Shot first there; they killd 30 of our men A hundred & 50 of the Regulors.”A local violent death catches her attention in 1775."September the 28 1775.
