I am reviewing the messages about Pardon Gifford and cannot remember whether I answered this particular one. Pardon surely was born in Dutchess Co., possibly in Pawling or nearby. His brother Amaziah left a deposition saying that was the location of his (Amaziah's) birth. I have notahing to help me estimate Pardon's birth date. His illegitimacy is mentioned in the NEHG Register genealogy that began about Oct 1974. However it is not mentioned in his mother Sarah Gifford's Quaker records. A puzzle. Lucille
