5504	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Yeoman in Cadhayne, Colyton Parish, Devonshire. 1579 - Church Warden. 2. Article from the Gillette family file at the Windsor Historical Society by Gary Boyd Roberts entitled "Genealogies of Conn. families from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register," vol. II, Baltimore, 1983, Gen. Pub. Co., Inc., pp. 35-37: "The Brothers Jonathan and Nathan Gillett and Some of Their Descendants. Compiled by Alice Lucinda Priest, B.L., of Brookline, Mass. The descendants of the Puritan brothers Jonathan and Nathan Gillett of Dorchester, Mass., and Windsor, Conn., were and almost surely are, numerous, yet there is an interesting opportunity for much further investigation of records to identify all the lines through the genealogical reference library at 9 Ashburton Place, Boston. ...Another very important publication is the April 1939 'American Genealogist' ten-page report of John Insley Coddington, A.M., on 'Jonathan Gillett of Dorchester, Mass., and Windsor, Conn., and Mary Dolbere or Dolbiar, his Wife.' As the title indicates, its important and convincing mission was to establish the fact of the marriage and the genealogical bacground of the bride and the believed background of the groom, with no purpose of a record of descendants beyond their children... Therefore Mr. Coddington's 1939 opening statement is even more than the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence. It is as follows: 'The Parish Register of St. Andrew's Church at Colyton, co. Devon, contains the following marriage record: '1634 Jonathan Gillett & Mary Dolbiar, 29 March.' 'This is the answer to the question of the long-sought identity of Mary, wife of Jonathan Gillett, the emigrant from England to Dorchester, Mass., and settler at Windsor, Conn.' Mr. Coddington's next statement is: 'There can be very little doubt but that Jonathan Gillett was the son of the Reverand William Gillett or Gyllett, Rector of Chaffcombe, co. Somerset, who was instituted to that benefice 4 Feb 1609-10, and who died early in 1641', etc. And there are five valuable pages on the ancestry of Mr. Dolbiar (Dolbere) that should all be read. They include the Colyton baptism: '1607, Mary, d. of Rockye Dolebeere, 7 June.' '1571 Rawkey, s. of Robarte Dolber of Caddhayn, 17 August.' The marriages: '1563 Robert Dolbere of Cadden & Agnes, d. of one Samson, Hawkechurche, 26 April.' '1602 Rockye Dolber, s. of Robert Dolber of Cadhaine & Marie, d. of John Michell of Barretshaine, 10 October.' " 3. The publication "Search for the Passengers of the "Mary & John" 1630," by Burton W. Spear (Toledo, OH; The Mary & John Clearing House, 1989-2004), 2:84-85 [the same exact article was repeated verbatim in 3:18-19]: "Jonathan Gillett returned to England and married Mary Dolbiar, in Colyton, Devon on 29 Mar. 1634. He remained in England one year after their marriage and then they sailed to New England on the ship, "Recovery of London", which sailed from Weymouth, England on 31 Mar. 1635. How he met a girl from Colyton is not known. However, the "Mary & John" passenger, George Hull of Crewkerne, had two brothers who were ministers at Colyton, the last being, Rev. William Hill, who died there in 1627. DOLBIAR FAMILY I. ROBERT DOLBIAR- m. (1) ___. m. (2) Agnes Sampson, 26 Apr. 1563, Colyton, Devon. He bu. 25 Jan 1614, Colyton.

The pedigree of John Mychell below is difficult to compile for earlier generations because there were so many John Mychells in Colyton. Even the pedigree below is tentative. In the 16th century there was a Michell family in Stockland, Dorset (now Devon, 8 mi. N of Colyton), and they were no doubt related to the Michells of Colyton. In the will of John Mychell of Stockland dated 28 Mar. 1574 and proved 17 May 1574 (PCC 21 Martyn) one of the overseers was John Mychell of Colyton. This may have been the John Mychell below, who m.

5506	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47, 51-54: "Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn, eldest son of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn by his wife Hillegond Joris, was born about 1636 or 1637 in Hoorn, Noordt Holland. Williams and Marvin say that he was born 3 Aug. 1642. A Jan Corneliszen had a son Cornelis baptized on that date in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam but the father was Jan Corneliszen Joncker, usually known as "Jan of Rotterdam." On 15 Sept. 1659 Cornelis received from his father a lot just north of "the Waal." He was living on this lot in 1665. In 1663 he appeared in court with his neighbors regarding the condition of the wall. On 16 May 1667 he obtained a confirming patent to land along the East River, between Broad Street arid Coenties Slip. He had apparently owned this land earlier for on 31 Aug. 1663 he and two others were required to pay for sheet-piling along the strand of the East River. His fishing sheds stood on this land and, later, in 1674 and in 1686, he lived on a portion of it. His home was on the "northerly side" of present Pearl Street, between (1674 description) Old Slip and Broad Street, and (1686 description) Hanover Square and Wall Street (HSYB 1896:169, 1916:24). Cornelis obtained small burgher rights, 20 Dec. 1659. A 1663 court case successfully charge him with unlawfully taking one half of a bear, and winning the skin in a "toss up," from one of the boys in the city. He had to return the skin to the rightful owner, the boy's mother, she being content, as Cornelis had eaten the half of the bear he had taken. Williams states that Cornelis was a furrier and a hat dealer. On 5 Sept. 1664, as Cornelis Janss, he may have joined with his father in the request to Pieter Stuyvesant concerning the surrender of New Amsterdam to the English (N.Y. Col. Docs. 2:250), and as Cornelis Janszen van Hoorn he swore allegiance to the British Crown in October 1664 (ibid. 3:75). His will is given in New York Wills 1:213: In the name of God, Amen. Know all men by these Presents that on the 11th day of October, 1689, I, Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn, inhabitant in this city of New York, have of my free will made this my last will and testament, without any persuasion of others. I leave to my eldest son John 50 shillings, made in consideration of the Prerogatives of the first born. I leave to my wife Anna Maria Van Hoorn, all my estate during her life, she remaining unmarried, to bring up and maintain the under aged children, and after her decease, to be divided among my children, and they to be instructed in an art or trade by which they may live. He made his wife executor. The witnesses were Thomas Burroughs and Albert Bosch (a next-door neighbor). The will was probated 15 Feb. 1692/3 "at Fort William Henry," in New York City. Note that Cornelis's children are "to be instructed in an art or trade by which they may live." In other words, the estate of Cornelis did not provide legacies large enough to remove the need for working for a living on the part of his children. Thus, it is unlikely that Jan Cornelisen, and, in turn, Cornelis Jansen, were men of extreme wealth as some accounts state. They did own property, and this perhaps laid the ground work for some of the children of Cornelis (e.g. John) to become wealthy. The record of Cornelis's marriage in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam, under banns dated 4 Oct. 1659, is printed as follows: "Cornelis Janszen Van Hoorn, en Anne Marie Janszen Van Tamerica." This indicates that Cornelis was born in Hoorn and that the "Van Hoorn" was not used in the sense of a surname inherited from his father; also that Anne Marie Jans was born in America, but probably not in New Netherland. Abram Van Horne in 1888, Williams in 1912 and Marvin in 1929, all identify Anne Marie Jans as a daughter or half-sister of the famous Anneke Jans Bogardus, probably "guided" by the thoughts concerning the Trinity Churchyard claim by the heirs of Anneke Jans Bogardus. There is no evidence that substantiates a relationship of any sort between Anne Marie Jans and Anneke Jans Bogardus. In fact, one appears to be of French or French-speaking Swiss descent, and the other Swedish.

Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47, 51-54: "Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn, eldest son of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn by his wife Hillegond Joris, was born about 1636 or 1637 in Hoorn, Noordt Holland. Williams and Marvin say that he was born 3 Aug. 1642. A Jan Corneliszen had a son Cornelis baptized on that date in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam but the father was Jan Corneliszen Joncker, usually known as "Jan of Rotterdam." On 15 Sept. 1659 Cornelis received from his father a lot just north of "the Waal." He was living on this lot in 1665. In 1663 he appeared in court with his neighbors regarding the condition of the wall. On 16 May 1667 he obtained a confirming patent to land along the East River, between Broad Street arid Coenties Slip. He had apparently owned this land earlier for on 31 Aug. 1663 he and two others were required to pay for sheet-piling along the strand of the East River. His fishing sheds stood on this land and, later, in 1674 and in 1686, he lived on a portion of it. His home was on the "northerly side" of present Pearl Street, between (1674 description) Old Slip and Broad Street, and (1686 description) Hanover Square and Wall Street (HSYB 1896:169, 1916:24). Cornelis obtained small burgher rights, 20 Dec. 1659. A 1663 court case successfully charge him with unlawfully taking one half of a bear, and winning the skin in a "toss up," from one of the boys in the city. He had to return the skin to the rightful owner, the boy's mother, she being content, as Cornelis had eaten the half of the bear he had taken. Williams states that Cornelis was a furrier and a hat dealer. On 5 Sept. 1664, as Cornelis Janss, he may have joined with his father in the request to Pieter Stuyvesant concerning the surrender of New Amsterdam to the English (N.Y. Col. Docs. 2:250), and as Cornelis Janszen van Hoorn he swore allegiance to the British Crown in October 1664 (ibid. 3:75). His will is given in New York Wills 1:213: In the name of God, Amen. Know all men by these Presents that on the 11th day of October, 1689, I, Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn, inhabitant in this city of New York, have of my free will made this my last will and testament, without any persuasion of others. I leave to my eldest son John 50 shillings, made in consideration of the Prerogatives of the first born. I leave to my wife Anna Maria Van Hoorn, all my estate during her life, she remaining unmarried, to bring up and maintain the under aged children, and after her decease, to be divided among my children, and they to be instructed in an art or trade by which they may live. He made his wife executor. The witnesses were Thomas Burroughs and Albert Bosch (a next-door neighbor). The will was probated 15 Feb. 1692/3 "at Fort William Henry," in New York City. Note that Cornelis's children are "to be instructed in an art or trade by which they may live." In other words, the estate of Cornelis did not provide legacies large enough to remove the need for working for a living on the part of his children. Thus, it is unlikely that Jan Cornelisen, and, in turn, Cornelis Jansen, were men of extreme wealth as some accounts state. They did own property, and this perhaps laid the ground work for some of the children of Cornelis (e.g. John) to become wealthy. The record of Cornelis's marriage in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam, under banns dated 4 Oct. 1659, is printed as follows: "Cornelis Janszen Van Hoorn, en Anne Marie Janszen Van Tamerica."

Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47-51: "The introduction to a companion article ("Christian Barentsen Van Horn,"TAG, supra, 43:193 f.) mentioned the confused state or previously published accounts of the various Van Horn/Van Horne families. That article and this discuss the two families which trace their lineage back to immigrant ancestors who at times used a Van Hoorn surname. The source of the Van Horne name in a third family is not evident. It is covered by Mrs. Elsie O. Hallenback in her Our Van Horne Kindred (n.d. but ca. 1960). It stems from two brothers, Cornelius and Abraham Van Horne of Whitehouse, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Their father was Matthew Cornelisen Van Jutland and their mother Fytje Adams Brouwer, whose first husband was Evert Hendricksen. Mrs. Hallenback's book is a revision of Our Kindred which was a historical record collected and published in 1888 by her grandfather, Abram Van Horne. In his book Abram Van Horne places Cornelius and Abraham of Whitehouse as children of Abraham Van Horne . . . of the Jan Cornelisen family. This Abraham did have sons Cornelius and Abraham, but they do not appear in their father's will or other contemporary records, and apparently died young, but relationship to this particular Abraham Van Horne of New York City was considered essential. For, shortly after the Civil War, there developed among the descendants of the Whitehouse brothers, a claim to a fortune left by this Abraham. He supposedly [he really didn't] out-leased much of his property in New York City for 99 years in a haphazard manner. These leases became far past due and if and when the titles to these lands were restored, each descendant would presumably reap a huge fortune. So the story went. One member of the family later reported that her father gave $104 during the years 1877 through 1880. He went to New York in 1876 with a man named Van Horne, "I cannot recall his first name." Her father reported that the fortune was there but "we would have trouble to get it, but it is ours, the Van Hornes." Her father's Van Horne visitor was probably Abram Van Horne of Auriesville, New York, compiler of Our Kindred. For many years various attempts were made by members of the family in Pennsylvania to obtain this fortune. On 28 Feb. 1925 the Daily Record of Stroudsburg, Pa., announced that "Distribution of the Van Horn Millions Has Begun." It reported that a Mrs. Annie M. Mallon, of Pawtucket, R.I., and formerly of Scranton, Pa., and her son David Morgan "will receive $1,000,000 each from the estate." Extremely odd, as Mrs. Mallon was only an -in-law, and not a blood relative of Abraham Van Horne of New York, "the founder of the estate." Ten days later, on 11 March 1925, at the call of the Reverend Francis M. Marvin, whose account we are now following, between 500 and 600 persons from several eastern states gathered at Stroudsburg and organized "The Greater Heirs of the Abraham Van Horn Estate Association," later renamed "The Van Horn Heirs Association." Subsequent investigation showed the said "estate uncollectible, unsubstantiated by any facts other than a letter from an attorney, Mr. Watson." Nevertheless, the association at its "reunion" on 4 July 1925 directed its officers to investigate "to the bottom" all possible leads. At the reunion of 3 July 1926, Marvin reported that the Abraham Van Horne and other claims were without foundation, but further investigations were ordered. Finally, on 5 July 1927 the organization, in line with reality, was changed from "The Van Horn Heirs Association" to "The Van Horn Historical and Genealogical Research Association of Pennsylvania." Prior to this, Marvin and his co-worker, W. H. Siglin, submitted their "claims" to a lawyer for review. These claims were: (1) that "many, if not all of the Van Horn and Van Horne descendants in this country through marriage, which we hope to show through our genealogical proofs," were entitled to the Anneke Jans Bogardus "fortune" in New York City; (2) that the claim to land in the Harlem section of New York City "is a claim in which the Van Horne and Van Horne descendants are interested through a direct marriage with the grantees"; (3) that the discredited Abraham Van Horne claim should be extended to include all Van Homes shown in the 1703 census of the City of New York; and (4) that "Anna Maria Jansen, wife of Cornelius Jansen Van Horne and first [sic] Van Horne in this country shared with her brother Wolfert Webber and her sister Anneke Jan Bogardus in legacies both in Holland and America." In 1929, using these "claims" as facts, even when contrary to obviously factual evidence, Marvin published The Van Horne Family History, a work which we have been following as stated, but which has been called "Marvin's illfounded suppositions." He leaned heavily on the three Van Horn/Van Horne accounts published by C. S. Williams without giving credit, and with alterations when such were necessary to fit Williams' accounts into these "Van Horn claims." In 1911 Williams had published accounts of Joris Jansen Van Horne and Christian Barentsen Van Horn and in 1912 he published an account of Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn in which he failed to insert correctly Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son. He denied (p. 97 of his book on Christian Barentsen) the right of any person named Van Horn to claim descent from Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn, yet Marvin's book shows most if not all of the Van Horns and most of the Van Hornes of the Whitehouse family, including himself, as descendants of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and, in turn, his eldest son, Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn. The purpose of this article is to compile a factual account of the early generations of the Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn family. One small branch of this family came into contact with a branch of the Christian Barentsen Van Horn family at present Jersey City. Other branches lived in central New Jersey, near, but not in close contact, with the Van Hornes of Whitehouse, New Jersey. Thus the real task is not so much one of separating the various Van Horn/Van Horne families, but of weeding out the untruths in the accounts of Marvin and, to a lesser extent, those of Williams and others. Williams, and Marvin in turn, apparently thought that every Jan Cornelisen in New Amsterdam was Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. He lists items of information that do not apply to him and other items that may or may not apply. If we depend only on direct identifiable evidence, little can be said about Jan's activities in New Amsterdam. His date of arrival is unknown, his land holdings uncertain. On 23 June 1645 he did receive land grants on the south side of Marketfield Street, and he may have had other land within the city proper. On 20 April 1661 he bought a water mill from Abraham Pietersen, miller, located "on the fresh water" near present Foley Square (Holland Soc. Yearb. 1900, 132). On 4 Oct. 1647 he signed a power of attorney to Jan Jansszen of New Amsterdam to receive money due him in Amsterdam. A Jan Cornelisen served as a school teacher in New Amsterdam but there is no evidence which indicates that he was Van Hoorn. In September 1664 (N.S.) Jan Cornelis Van Hooren joined with other citizens of New Amsterdam and vicinity in asking Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam (and thus all of New Netherland) to the British without fighting to defend it (Col. Docs. of N.Y. 2:250). Williams and Marvin say he signed the oath of allegiance to the British Crown in October 1664, but his name does not appear on the printed list of signers. He was granted small burgher rights on 14 April 1657. He is shown in an undated entry on the membership list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam (N.Y. Gen. & Biogr. Rec. 9:43). The position of his name on this list may indicate that he joined the church as early as 1659. His wife, Hillegond Joris, joined the church on 2 July 1662 (ibid. 75), and both of these may have been re-entries or on summary lists of members. Hillegond Joris and a Jan Corneliszen whom we may assume was her husband appear together on 12 July 1654 and he last appears on the baptismal register, 25 July 1666. Jan died not long after that, for, with banns dated 16 June 1669, Hillegond Joris, as widow of Jan Corneliszen, married Mr. Evert Pietersen Keteltas, widower of Grietje Arents. He was a school teacher, and he and Hillegond lived in the old Van Hoorn home on the south side of present Stone Street, between William and Broad Streets in about 1674 and in 1686. At this time both were shown as members of the Dutch Reformed Church (Holl. Soc. Yearb. 1896:173; 1916:30). Hillegond was a midwife, and from 21 April 1655 was one of the official midwives of the city. She was recently called "the famous midwife" (Record 72:291). She appeared as a witness of the baptisms of numerous children, many of whom are of no traceable relationship to her, the first one on 27 Sept. 1643. On 7 March 1670/1 Evert Pietersen and wife Hillegon Joris asked the Court to "authorize some persons to compose if possible the differences arising between the above named Hillegont Joris and her children by a former marriage relative to their father's property." The difficulty must not have been serious or of long duration, for Hillegond continued to witness the baptisms of her grandchildren, the last time on 4 July 1683. Williams lists children for Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and his wife Hillegond Joris whom we cannot accept. They were baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Reformed Church as children of one or more Jan Corneliszens, all without names of their mothers and without place names for their fathers: Abraham, bapt. 8 Aug [should be Sept.] 1647. Abraham, bapt. 24 Oct. 1649. Judith, bapt. 25 Feb. 1652. Williams and Marvin both use these baptismal dates as birth dates, and Marvin adds a fourth child, Aefje, born 12 May 1654, and says that she married, first, John Tudor, and second, John Theobalds Sr. Actually it was a granddaughter, Aefje, baptized 31 Oct. 1673, who married Tudor and Theobolds. As for the two Abrahams and Judith, we are not certain of the identity of their father or fathers. Not one of the three children we credit to Jan Corneliszen Van Hoorn and Hillegond Joris can be clearly identified as such by direct documentary evidence. None was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam. No probate has been found for either Jan or Hillegond. The conclusions which follow are drawn from existing records and are based on known customs. Witnesses at baptisms were usually relatives but at times were, instead, friends of the family. Children were usually named for close relatives, often the oldest for their grandparents. The marriage records of the three children indicate that Cornelis and Joris were born in Hoorn, in Noordt Holland, before the family left there. Neeltje, the third child, was born in Amsterdam, also in Noordt Holland: Children: . . . i. Cornelis Jansen. . . . ii. Joris Jansen. . . . iii. Neeltje Jans." A child named Vroutje was baptized 12 Dec. 1643 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam as the child of Hillegond Joris and without witnesses. On 7 July 1644, Tryntje Jonas, the official midwife, made a declaration "respecting a confession of Hillegond Joris as to the paternity of her child." On the 9th and 11th of July four persons declared that "Hellegond Joris had said that Jan, the pilot of the Seven Seas, was the father of her newly born child." On the 14th the Fiscal (Sheriff) brought suit against Laurens Cornelissen, skipper of the Maid of Enckhuysen, for (1) smuggling, (2) adultery with Hellegond Joris, and (3) speaking disrespectfully of the director-general (the second charge having been denied under oath on 28 July, it was dismissed) [Calendar of Dutch MSS 28, 89 f.]. No further records concerning this child have been found. Williams and Marvin list her as a child of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. Williams makes no comment while Marvin says she died without issue."

5508	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47, 54-55: Joris Jansen Van Hoorn, son of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn by his wife Hillegond Joris, was born about 1638 or 1639 in Hoorn, Noordt Holland. Marvin says he was born 4 Sept. 1645 but his source is not apparent and it cannot be traced to the baptismal register of the Dutch Reformed Church, as can his other birthdates. Williams does not place Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son of Jan Cornelisen, but even a cursory study of the baptismal entries concerning the children of Joris Jansen should have convinced that Joris was, indeed, son of Jan. Also, as a son of Hillegond Joris, he was obviously named for his grandfather. A Joris Jansen, a house carpenter from Hoorn, came to New Netherland on The Brownfish in 1658 and it is barely possible that he was the son of Jan Cornelisen who had remained in Holland until 1658, or who had returned to Holland and was coming back to New Netherland. More likely, however, the carpenter was an older man (note the journeyman level, a skilled occupation) whom we cannot now identify. Joris Jansen Van Hoorn lived in the City of New York but few authentic records can be identified as certainly relating to him. His name appears in the Dutch Church baptismal register nine times (all without "Van Hoorn"), seven times as a father and twice as a witness. His name cannot be identified among those who petitioned Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam without a fight, or who shortly thereafter signed an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. His name is not among the list of property owners made about 1674. In 1686 he lived on the east side of present Broad Street (HSYB 1916:29). With marriage banns dated 11 March 1666 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York, Joris Janszen, j. m. Van Hoorn, married Maria Rutgers, j.d. Van Amersfoort. Both were previously unmarried and he was born in Hoorn, Noordt Holland, and she in Amersfoort, Utrecht, daughter of Rutger _____ and Styntje Jacobs, born ca. 1643 or 1644. At the age of nineteen she came to New Amsterdam with her mother, her sister Wyntje Rutgers (aged 16), her step-father Pieter Janszen Meet/Mead from Amersfoort, a half sister Kniertje Pieters Meet (aged 7) and a half brother Jan Pietersen Meet (aged 3), arriving on the Rosetree which sailed from Holland in March 1663 (NYGBR 15:34). Pieter Janszen and wife Styntje Jacobs joined the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam on 9 July 1663 (ibid. 9:76). In the 1686 list of church members prepared by Dominie Selyns, Maria Pieters, wife of Joris Janzen, is a member, but he is not. In this entry (HSYB 1916:29) she is given the patronymic of her step-father, an infrequent but far from rare custom among the New Netherland Dutch. On 29 Feb. (with banns dated 5 Feb.) 1692 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York Maria Rutgers, widow of Joris Janszen, married Jan Andrieszen, widower of Margrietje Jans Doorens. In New York on 31 May 1700, Maria Rutgers, wife of Jan Andriesse, witnessed a baptism at the Dutch Church. In Bergen (now Jersey City) on 2 April 1700, Mereytje Rutger, wife of Jan Andresen, witnessed the baptism of a grandchild. In New York on 19 Nov. 1699 and again on 15 Dec. 1703 she witnessed baptisms of grandchildren. No further record of her has been found. The children of Joris Jansen Van Hoorn and his wife Maria Rutgers were born in New York and baptized there in the Dutch Reformed Church. At times some of them used the patronymic "Jorise" with and without the place name "Van Hoorn/Van Horne." Children: . . . i. Rutger, bapt. 5 Jan. 1667. . . . ii.

Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47, 54-55: Joris Jansen Van Hoorn, son of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn by his wife Hillegond Joris, was born about 1638 or 1639 in Hoorn, Noordt Holland. Marvin says he was born 4 Sept. 1645 but his source is not apparent and it cannot be traced to the baptismal register of the Dutch Reformed Church, as can his other birthdates. Williams does not place Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son of Jan Cornelisen, but even a cursory study of the baptismal entries concerning the children of Joris Jansen should have convinced that Joris was, indeed, son of Jan. Also, as a son of Hillegond Joris, he was obviously named for his grandfather. A Joris Jansen, a house carpenter from Hoorn, came to New Netherland on The Brownfish in 1658 and it is barely possible that he was the son of Jan Cornelisen who had remained in Holland until 1658, or who had returned to Holland and was coming back to New Netherland. More likely, however, the carpenter was an older man (note the journeyman level, a skilled occupation) whom we cannot now identify. Joris Jansen Van Hoorn lived in the City of New York but few authentic records can be identified as certainly relating to him. His name appears in the Dutch Church baptismal register nine times (all without "Van Hoorn"), seven times as a father and twice as a witness. His name cannot be identified among those who petitioned Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam without a fight, or who shortly thereafter signed an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. His name is not among the list of property owners made about 1674. In 1686 he lived on the east side of present Broad Street (HSYB 1916:29). With marriage banns dated 11 March 1666 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York, Joris Janszen, j. m. Van Hoorn, married Maria Rutgers, j.d. Van Amersfoort. Both were previously unmarried and he was born in Hoorn, Noordt Holland, and she in Amersfoort, Utrecht, daughter of Rutger _____ and Styntje Jacobs, born ca. 1643 or 1644. At the age of nineteen she came to New Amsterdam with her mother, her sister Wyntje Rutgers (aged 16), her step-father Pieter Janszen Meet/Mead from Amersfoort, a half sister Kniertje Pieters Meet (aged 7) and a half brother Jan Pietersen Meet (aged 3), arriving on the Rosetree which sailed from Holland in March 1663 (NYGBR 15:34). Pieter Janszen and wife Styntje Jacobs joined the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam on 9 July 1663 (ibid. 9:76). In the 1686 list of church members prepared by Dominie Selyns, Maria Pieters, wife of Joris Janzen, is a member, but he is not. In this entry (HSYB 1916:29) she is given the patronymic of her step-father, an infrequent but far from rare custom among the New Netherland Dutch. On 29 Feb. (with banns dated 5 Feb.) 1692 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York Maria Rutgers, widow of Joris Janszen, married Jan Andrieszen, widower of Margrietje Jans Doorens. In New York on 31 May 1700, Maria Rutgers, wife of Jan Andriesse, witnessed a baptism at the Dutch Church. In Bergen (now Jersey City) on 2 April 1700, Mereytje Rutger, wife of Jan Andresen, witnessed the baptism of a grandchild. In New York on 19 Nov. 1699 and again on 15 Dec. 1703 she witnessed baptisms of grandchildren. No further record of her has been found. The children of Joris Jansen Van Hoorn and his wife Maria Rutgers were born in New York and baptized there in the Dutch Reformed Church. At times some of them used the patronymic "Jorise" with and without the place name "Van Hoorn/Van Horne." Children: . . . i. Rutger, bapt. 5 Jan. 1667. . . . ii.

Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47, 54-55: Joris Jansen Van Hoorn, son of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn by his wife Hillegond Joris, was born about 1638 or 1639 in Hoorn, Noordt Holland. Marvin says he was born 4 Sept. 1645 but his source is not apparent and it cannot be traced to the baptismal register of the Dutch Reformed Church, as can his other birthdates. Williams does not place Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son of Jan Cornelisen, but even a cursory study of the baptismal entries concerning the children of Joris Jansen should have convinced that Joris was, indeed, son of Jan. Also, as a son of Hillegond Joris, he was obviously named for his grandfather. A Joris Jansen, a house carpenter from Hoorn, came to New Netherland on The Brownfish in 1658 and it is barely possible that he was the son of Jan Cornelisen who had remained in Holland until 1658, or who had returned to Holland and was coming back to New Netherland. More likely, however, the carpenter was an older man (note the journeyman level, a skilled occupation) whom we cannot now identify. Joris Jansen Van Hoorn lived in the City of New York but few authentic records can be identified as certainly relating to him. His name appears in the Dutch Church baptismal register nine times (all without "Van Hoorn"), seven times as a father and twice as a witness. His name cannot be identified among those who petitioned Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam without a fight, or who shortly thereafter signed an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. His name is not among the list of property owners made about 1674. In 1686 he lived on the east side of present Broad Street (HSYB 1916:29). With marriage banns dated 11 March 1666 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York, Joris Janszen, j. m. Van Hoorn, married Maria Rutgers, j.d. Van Amersfoort. Both were previously unmarried and he was born in Hoorn, Noordt Holland, and she in Amersfoort, Utrecht, daughter of Rutger _____ and Styntje Jacobs, born ca. 1643 or 1644. At the age of nineteen she came to New Amsterdam with her mother, her sister Wyntje Rutgers (aged 16), her step-father Pieter Janszen Meet/Mead from Amersfoort, a half sister Kniertje Pieters Meet (aged 7) and a half brother Jan Pietersen Meet (aged 3), arriving on the Rosetree which sailed from Holland in March 1663 (NYGBR 15:34). Pieter Janszen and wife Styntje Jacobs joined the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam on 9 July 1663 (ibid. 9:76). In the 1686 list of church members prepared by Dominie Selyns, Maria Pieters, wife of Joris Janzen, is a member, but he is not. In this entry (HSYB 1916:29) she is given the patronymic of her step-father, an infrequent but far from rare custom among the New Netherland Dutch. On 29 Feb. (with banns dated 5 Feb.) 1692 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York Maria Rutgers, widow of Joris Janszen, married Jan Andrieszen, widower of Margrietje Jans Doorens. In New York on 31 May 1700, Maria Rutgers, wife of Jan Andriesse, witnessed a baptism at the Dutch Church. In Bergen (now Jersey City) on 2 April 1700, Mereytje Rutger, wife of Jan Andresen, witnessed the baptism of a grandchild. In New York on 19 Nov. 1699 and again on 15 Dec. 1703 she witnessed baptisms of grandchildren. No further record of her has been found. The children of Joris Jansen Van Hoorn and his wife Maria Rutgers were born in New York and baptized there in the Dutch Reformed Church. At times some of them used the patronymic "Jorise" with and without the place name "Van Hoorn/Van Horne." Children: . . . i. Rutger, bapt. 5 Jan. 1667. . . . ii.

Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47-51: "The introduction to a companion article ("Christian Barentsen Van Horn,"TAG, supra, 43:193 f.) mentioned the confused state or previously published accounts of the various Van Horn/Van Horne families. That article and this discuss the two families which trace their lineage back to immigrant ancestors who at times used a Van Hoorn surname. The source of the Van Horne name in a third family is not evident. It is covered by Mrs. Elsie O. Hallenback in her Our Van Horne Kindred (n.d. but ca. 1960). It stems from two brothers, Cornelius and Abraham Van Horne of Whitehouse, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Their father was Matthew Cornelisen Van Jutland and their mother Fytje Adams Brouwer, whose first husband was Evert Hendricksen. Mrs. Hallenback's book is a revision of Our Kindred which was a historical record collected and published in 1888 by her grandfather, Abram Van Horne. In his book Abram Van Horne places Cornelius and Abraham of Whitehouse as children of Abraham Van Horne . . . of the Jan Cornelisen family. This Abraham did have sons Cornelius and Abraham, but they do not appear in their father's will or other contemporary records, and apparently died young, but relationship to this particular Abraham Van Horne of New York City was considered essential. For, shortly after the Civil War, there developed among the descendants of the Whitehouse brothers, a claim to a fortune left by this Abraham. He supposedly [he really didn't] out-leased much of his property in New York City for 99 years in a haphazard manner. These leases became far past due and if and when the titles to these lands were restored, each descendant would presumably reap a huge fortune. So the story went. One member of the family later reported that her father gave $104 during the years 1877 through 1880. He went to New York in 1876 with a man named Van Horne, "I cannot recall his first name." Her father reported that the fortune was there but "we would have trouble to get it, but it is ours, the Van Hornes." Her father's Van Horne visitor was probably Abram Van Horne of Auriesville, New York, compiler of Our Kindred. For many years various attempts were made by members of the family in Pennsylvania to obtain this fortune. On 28 Feb. 1925 the Daily Record of Stroudsburg, Pa., announced that "Distribution of the Van Horn Millions Has Begun." It reported that a Mrs. Annie M. Mallon, of Pawtucket, R.I., and formerly of Scranton, Pa., and her son David Morgan "will receive $1,000,000 each from the estate." Extremely odd, as Mrs. Mallon was only an -in-law, and not a blood relative of Abraham Van Horne of New York, "the founder of the estate." Ten days later, on 11 March 1925, at the call of the Reverend Francis M. Marvin, whose account we are now following, between 500 and 600 persons from several eastern states gathered at Stroudsburg and organized "The Greater Heirs of the Abraham Van Horn Estate Association," later renamed "The Van Horn Heirs Association." Subsequent investigation showed the said "estate uncollectible, unsubstantiated by any facts other than a letter from an attorney, Mr. Watson." Nevertheless, the association at its "reunion" on 4 July 1925 directed its officers to investigate "to the bottom" all possible leads. At the reunion of 3 July 1926, Marvin reported that the Abraham Van Horne and other claims were without foundation, but further investigations were ordered. Finally, on 5 July 1927 the organization, in line with reality, was changed from "The Van Horn Heirs Association" to "The Van Horn Historical and Genealogical Research Association of Pennsylvania." Prior to this, Marvin and his co-worker, W. H. Siglin, submitted their "claims" to a lawyer for review. These claims were: (1) that "many, if not all of the Van Horn and Van Horne descendants in this country through marriage, which we hope to show through our genealogical proofs," were entitled to the Anneke Jans Bogardus "fortune" in New York City; (2) that the claim to land in the Harlem section of New York City "is a claim in which the Van Horne and Van Horne descendants are interested through a direct marriage with the grantees"; (3) that the discredited Abraham Van Horne claim should be extended to include all Van Homes shown in the 1703 census of the City of New York; and (4) that "Anna Maria Jansen, wife of Cornelius Jansen Van Horne and first [sic] Van Horne in this country shared with her brother Wolfert Webber and her sister Anneke Jan Bogardus in legacies both in Holland and America." In 1929, using these "claims" as facts, even when contrary to obviously factual evidence, Marvin published The Van Horne Family History, a work which we have been following as stated, but which has been called "Marvin's illfounded suppositions." He leaned heavily on the three Van Horn/Van Horne accounts published by C. S. Williams without giving credit, and with alterations when such were necessary to fit Williams' accounts into these "Van Horn claims." In 1911 Williams had published accounts of Joris Jansen Van Horne and Christian Barentsen Van Horn and in 1912 he published an account of Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn in which he failed to insert correctly Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son. He denied (p. 97 of his book on Christian Barentsen) the right of any person named Van Horn to claim descent from Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn, yet Marvin's book shows most if not all of the Van Horns and most of the Van Hornes of the Whitehouse family, including himself, as descendants of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and, in turn, his eldest son, Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn. The purpose of this article is to compile a factual account of the early generations of the Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn family. One small branch of this family came into contact with a branch of the Christian Barentsen Van Horn family at present Jersey City. Other branches lived in central New Jersey, near, but not in close contact, with the Van Hornes of Whitehouse, New Jersey. Thus the real task is not so much one of separating the various Van Horn/Van Horne families, but of weeding out the untruths in the accounts of Marvin and, to a lesser extent, those of Williams and others. Williams, and Marvin in turn, apparently thought that every Jan Cornelisen in New Amsterdam was Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. He lists items of information that do not apply to him and other items that may or may not apply. If we depend only on direct identifiable evidence, little can be said about Jan's activities in New Amsterdam. His date of arrival is unknown, his land holdings uncertain. On 23 June 1645 he did receive land grants on the south side of Marketfield Street, and he may have had other land within the city proper. On 20 April 1661 he bought a water mill from Abraham Pietersen, miller, located "on the fresh water" near present Foley Square (Holland Soc. Yearb. 1900, 132). On 4 Oct. 1647 he signed a power of attorney to Jan Jansszen of New Amsterdam to receive money due him in Amsterdam. A Jan Cornelisen served as a school teacher in New Amsterdam but there is no evidence which indicates that he was Van Hoorn. In September 1664 (N.S.) Jan Cornelis Van Hooren joined with other citizens of New Amsterdam and vicinity in asking Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam (and thus all of New Netherland) to the British without fighting to defend it (Col. Docs. of N.Y. 2:250). Williams and Marvin say he signed the oath of allegiance to the British Crown in October 1664, but his name does not appear on the printed list of signers. He was granted small burgher rights on 14 April 1657. He is shown in an undated entry on the membership list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam (N.Y. Gen. & Biogr. Rec. 9:43). The position of his name on this list may indicate that he joined the church as early as 1659. His wife, Hillegond Joris, joined the church on 2 July 1662 (ibid. 75), and both of these may have been re-entries or on summary lists of members. Hillegond Joris and a Jan Corneliszen whom we may assume was her husband appear together on 12 July 1654 and he last appears on the baptismal register, 25 July 1666. Jan died not long after that, for, with banns dated 16 June 1669, Hillegond Joris, as widow of Jan Corneliszen, married Mr. Evert Pietersen Keteltas, widower of Grietje Arents. He was a school teacher, and he and Hillegond lived in the old Van Hoorn home on the south side of present Stone Street, between William and Broad Streets in about 1674 and in 1686. At this time both were shown as members of the Dutch Reformed Church (Holl. Soc. Yearb. 1896:173; 1916:30). Hillegond was a midwife, and from 21 April 1655 was one of the official midwives of the city. She was recently called "the famous midwife" (Record 72:291). She appeared as a witness of the baptisms of numerous children, many of whom are of no traceable relationship to her, the first one on 27 Sept. 1643. On 7 March 1670/1 Evert Pietersen and wife Hillegon Joris asked the Court to "authorize some persons to compose if possible the differences arising between the above named Hillegont Joris and her children by a former marriage relative to their father's property." The difficulty must not have been serious or of long duration, for Hillegond continued to witness the baptisms of her grandchildren, the last time on 4 July 1683. Williams lists children for Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and his wife Hillegond Joris whom we cannot accept. They were baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Reformed Church as children of one or more Jan Corneliszens, all without names of their mothers and without place names for their fathers: Abraham, bapt. 8 Aug [should be Sept.] 1647. Abraham, bapt. 24 Oct. 1649. Judith, bapt. 25 Feb. 1652. Williams and Marvin both use these baptismal dates as birth dates, and Marvin adds a fourth child, Aefje, born 12 May 1654, and says that she married, first, John Tudor, and second, John Theobalds Sr. Actually it was a granddaughter, Aefje, baptized 31 Oct. 1673, who married Tudor and Theobolds. As for the two Abrahams and Judith, we are not certain of the identity of their father or fathers. Not one of the three children we credit to Jan Corneliszen Van Hoorn and Hillegond Joris can be clearly identified as such by direct documentary evidence. None was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam. No probate has been found for either Jan or Hillegond. The conclusions which follow are drawn from existing records and are based on known customs. Witnesses at baptisms were usually relatives but at times were, instead, friends of the family. Children were usually named for close relatives, often the oldest for their grandparents. The marriage records of the three children indicate that Cornelis and Joris were born in Hoorn, in Noordt Holland, before the family left there. Neeltje, the third child, was born in Amsterdam, also in Noordt Holland: Children: . . . i. Cornelis Jansen. . . . ii. Joris Jansen. . . . iii. Neeltje Jans." A child named Vroutje was baptized 12 Dec. 1643 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam as the child of Hillegond Joris and without witnesses. On 7 July 1644, Tryntje Jonas, the official midwife, made a declaration "respecting a confession of Hillegond Joris as to the paternity of her child." On the 9th and 11th of July four persons declared that "Hellegond Joris had said that Jan, the pilot of the Seven Seas, was the father of her newly born child." On the 14th the Fiscal (Sheriff) brought suit against Laurens Cornelissen, skipper of the Maid of Enckhuysen, for (1) smuggling, (2) adultery with Hellegond Joris, and (3) speaking disrespectfully of the director-general (the second charge having been denied under oath on 28 July, it was dismissed) [Calendar of Dutch MSS 28, 89 f.]. No further records concerning this child have been found. Williams and Marvin list her as a child of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. Williams makes no comment while Marvin says she died without issue."

Williams, and Marvin in turn, apparently thought that every Jan Cornelisen in New Amsterdam was Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. He lists items of information that do not apply to him and other items that may or may not apply. If we depend only on direct identifiable evidence, little can be said about Jan's activities in New Amsterdam. His date of arrival is unknown, his land holdings uncertain. On 23 June 1645 he did receive land grants on the south side of Marketfield Street, and he may have had other land within the city proper. On 20 April 1661 he bought a water mill from Abraham Pietersen, miller, located "on the fresh water" near present Foley Square (Holland Soc. Yearb. 1900, 132). On 4 Oct. 1647 he signed a power of attorney to Jan Jansszen of New Amsterdam to receive money due him in Amsterdam. A Jan Cornelisen served as a school teacher in New Amsterdam but there is no evidence which indicates that he was Van Hoorn. In September 1664 (N.S.) Jan Cornelis Van Hooren joined with other citizens of New Amsterdam and vicinity in asking Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam (and thus all of New Netherland) to the British without fighting to defend it (Col. Docs. of N.Y. 2:250). Williams and Marvin say he signed the oath of allegiance to the British Crown in October 1664, but his name does not appear on the printed list of signers. He was granted small burgher rights on 14 April 1657. He is shown in an undated entry on the membership list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam (N.Y. Gen. & Biogr. Rec. 9:43). The position of his name on this list may indicate that he joined the church as early as 1659. His wife, Hillegond Joris, joined the church on 2 July 1662 (ibid. 75), and both of these may have been re-entries or on summary lists of members. Hillegond Joris and a Jan Corneliszen whom we may assume was her husband appear together on 12 July 1654 and he last appears on the baptismal register, 25 July 1666. Jan died not long after that, for, with banns dated 16 June 1669, Hillegond Joris, as widow of Jan Corneliszen, married Mr. Evert Pietersen Keteltas, widower of Grietje Arents. He was a school teacher, and he and Hillegond lived in the old Van Hoorn home on the south side of present Stone Street, between William and Broad Streets in about 1674 and in 1686. At this time both were shown as members of the Dutch Reformed Church (Holl. Soc. Yearb. 1896:173; 1916:30). Hillegond was a midwife, and from 21 April 1655 was one of the official midwives of the city. She was recently called "the famous midwife" (Record 72:291). She appeared as a witness of the baptisms of numerous children, many of whom are of no traceable relationship to her, the first one on 27 Sept. 1643. On 7 March 1670/1 Evert Pietersen and wife Hillegon Joris asked the Court to "authorize some persons to compose if possible the differences arising between the above named Hillegont Joris and her children by a former marriage relative to their father's property." The difficulty must not have been serious or of long duration, for Hillegond continued to witness the baptisms of her grandchildren, the last time on 4 July 1683. Williams lists children for Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and his wife Hillegond Joris whom we cannot accept. They were baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Reformed Church as children of one or more Jan Corneliszens, all without names of their mothers and without place names for their fathers: Abraham, bapt. 8 Aug [should be Sept.] 1647. Abraham, bapt. 24 Oct. 1649. Judith, bapt. 25 Feb. 1652. Williams and Marvin both use these baptismal dates as birth dates, and Marvin adds a fourth child, Aefje, born 12 May 1654, and says that she married, first, John Tudor, and second, John Theobalds Sr. Actually it was a granddaughter, Aefje, baptized 31 Oct. 1673, who married Tudor and Theobolds. As for the two Abrahams and Judith, we are not certain of the identity of their father or fathers. Not one of the three children we credit to Jan Corneliszen Van Hoorn and Hillegond Joris can be clearly identified as such by direct documentary evidence. None was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam. No probate has been found for either Jan or Hillegond. The conclusions which follow are drawn from existing records and are based on known customs. Witnesses at baptisms were usually relatives but at times were, instead, friends of the family. Children were usually named for close relatives, often the oldest for their grandparents. The marriage records of the three children indicate that Cornelis and Joris were born in Hoorn, in Noordt Holland, before the family left there. Neeltje, the third child, was born in Amsterdam, also in Noordt Holland: Children: . . . i. Cornelis Jansen. . . . ii. Joris Jansen. . . . iii. Neeltje Jans." A child named Vroutje was baptized 12 Dec. 1643 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam as the child of Hillegond Joris and without witnesses. On 7 July 1644, Tryntje Jonas, the official midwife, made a declaration "respecting a confession of Hillegond Joris as to the paternity of her child." On the 9th and 11th of July four persons declared that "Hellegond Joris had said that Jan, the pilot of the Seven Seas, was the father of her newly born child." On the 14th the Fiscal (Sheriff) brought suit against Laurens Cornelissen, skipper of the Maid of Enckhuysen, for (1) smuggling, (2) adultery with Hellegond Joris, and (3) speaking disrespectfully of the director-general (the second charge having been denied under oath on 28 July, it was dismissed) [Calendar of Dutch MSS 28, 89 f.]. No further records concerning this child have been found. Williams and Marvin list her as a child of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. Williams makes no comment while Marvin says she died without issue."

5524	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47-51: "The introduction to a companion article ("Christian Barentsen Van Horn,"TAG, supra, 43:193 f.) mentioned the confused state or previously published accounts of the various Van Horn/Van Horne families. That article and this discuss the two families which trace their lineage back to immigrant ancestors who at times used a Van Hoorn surname. The source of the Van Horne name in a third family is not evident. It is covered by Mrs. Elsie O. Hallenback in her Our Van Horne Kindred (n.d. but ca. 1960). It stems from two brothers, Cornelius and Abraham Van Horne of Whitehouse, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Their father was Matthew Cornelisen Van Jutland and their mother Fytje Adams Brouwer, whose first husband was Evert Hendricksen. Mrs. Hallenback's book is a revision of Our Kindred which was a historical record collected and published in 1888 by her grandfather, Abram Van Horne. In his book Abram Van Horne places Cornelius and Abraham of Whitehouse as children of Abraham Van Horne . . . of the Jan Cornelisen family. This Abraham did have sons Cornelius and Abraham, but they do not appear in their father's will or other contemporary records, and apparently died young, but relationship to this particular Abraham Van Horne of New York City was considered essential. For, shortly after the Civil War, there developed among the descendants of the Whitehouse brothers, a claim to a fortune left by this Abraham. He supposedly [he really didn't] out-leased much of his property in New York City for 99 years in a haphazard manner. These leases became far past due and if and when the titles to these lands were restored, each descendant would presumably reap a huge fortune. So the story went. One member of the family later reported that her father gave $104 during the years 1877 through 1880. He went to New York in 1876 with a man named Van Horne, "I cannot recall his first name." Her father reported that the fortune was there but "we would have trouble to get it, but it is ours, the Van Hornes." Her father's Van Horne visitor was probably Abram Van Horne of Auriesville, New York, compiler of Our Kindred. For many years various attempts were made by members of the family in Pennsylvania to obtain this fortune. On 28 Feb. 1925 the Daily Record of Stroudsburg, Pa., announced that "Distribution of the Van Horn Millions Has Begun." It reported that a Mrs. Annie M. Mallon, of Pawtucket, R.I., and formerly of Scranton, Pa., and her son David Morgan "will receive $1,000,000 each from the estate." Extremely odd, as Mrs. Mallon was only an -in-law, and not a blood relative of Abraham Van Horne of New York, "the founder of the estate." Ten days later, on 11 March 1925, at the call of the Reverend Francis M. Marvin, whose account we are now following, between 500 and 600 persons from several eastern states gathered at Stroudsburg and organized "The Greater Heirs of the Abraham Van Horn Estate Association," later renamed "The Van Horn Heirs Association." Subsequent investigation showed the said "estate uncollectible, unsubstantiated by any facts other than a letter from an attorney, Mr. Watson." Nevertheless, the association at its "reunion" on 4 July 1925 directed its officers to investigate "to the bottom" all possible leads. At the reunion of 3 July 1926, Marvin reported that the Abraham Van Horne and other claims were without foundation, but further investigations were ordered. Finally, on 5 July 1927 the organization, in line with reality, was changed from "The Van Horn Heirs Association" to "The Van Horn Historical and Genealogical Research Association of Pennsylvania." Prior to this, Marvin and his co-worker, W. H. Siglin, submitted their "claims" to a lawyer for review. These claims were: (1) that "many, if not all of the Van Horn and Van Horne descendants in this country through marriage, which we hope to show through our genealogical proofs," were entitled to the Anneke Jans Bogardus "fortune" in New York City; (2) that the claim to land in the Harlem section of New York City "is a claim in which the Van Horne and Van Horne descendants are interested through a direct marriage with the grantees"; (3) that the discredited Abraham Van Horne claim should be extended to include all Van Homes shown in the 1703 census of the City of New York; and (4) that "Anna Maria Jansen, wife of Cornelius Jansen Van Horne and first [sic] Van Horne in this country shared with her brother Wolfert Webber and her sister Anneke Jan Bogardus in legacies both in Holland and America." In 1929, using these "claims" as facts, even when contrary to obviously factual evidence, Marvin published The Van Horne Family History, a work which we have been following as stated, but which has been called "Marvin's illfounded suppositions." He leaned heavily on the three Van Horn/Van Horne accounts published by C. S. Williams without giving credit, and with alterations when such were necessary to fit Williams' accounts into these "Van Horn claims." In 1911 Williams had published accounts of Joris Jansen Van Horne and Christian Barentsen Van Horn and in 1912 he published an account of Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn in which he failed to insert correctly Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son. He denied (p. 97 of his book on Christian Barentsen) the right of any person named Van Horn to claim descent from Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn, yet Marvin's book shows most if not all of the Van Horns and most of the Van Hornes of the Whitehouse family, including himself, as descendants of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and, in turn, his eldest son, Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn. The purpose of this article is to compile a factual account of the early generations of the Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn family. One small branch of this family came into contact with a branch of the Christian Barentsen Van Horn family at present Jersey City. Other branches lived in central New Jersey, near, but not in close contact, with the Van Hornes of Whitehouse, New Jersey. Thus the real task is not so much one of separating the various Van Horn/Van Horne families, but of weeding out the untruths in the accounts of Marvin and, to a lesser extent, those of Williams and others. Williams, and Marvin in turn, apparently thought that every Jan Cornelisen in New Amsterdam was Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn.

Mrs. Hallenback's book is a revision of Our Kindred which was a historical record collected and published in 1888 by her grandfather, Abram Van Horne. In his book Abram Van Horne places Cornelius and Abraham of Whitehouse as children of Abraham Van Horne . . . of the Jan Cornelisen family. This Abraham did have sons Cornelius and Abraham, but they do not appear in their father's will or other contemporary records, and apparently died young, but relationship to this particular Abraham Van Horne of New York City was considered essential. For, shortly after the Civil War, there developed among the descendants of the Whitehouse brothers, a claim to a fortune left by this Abraham. He supposedly [he really didn't] out-leased much of his property in New York City for 99 years in a haphazard manner. These leases became far past due and if and when the titles to these lands were restored, each descendant would presumably reap a huge fortune. So the story went. One member of the family later reported that her father gave $104 during the years 1877 through 1880. He went to New York in 1876 with a man named Van Horne, "I cannot recall his first name." Her father reported that the fortune was there but "we would have trouble to get it, but it is ours, the Van Hornes." Her father's Van Horne visitor was probably Abram Van Horne of Auriesville, New York, compiler of Our Kindred. For many years various attempts were made by members of the family in Pennsylvania to obtain this fortune. On 28 Feb. 1925 the Daily Record of Stroudsburg, Pa., announced that "Distribution of the Van Horn Millions Has Begun." It reported that a Mrs. Annie M. Mallon, of Pawtucket, R.I., and formerly of Scranton, Pa., and her son David Morgan "will receive $1,000,000 each from the estate." Extremely odd, as Mrs. Mallon was only an -in-law, and not a blood relative of Abraham Van Horne of New York, "the founder of the estate." Ten days later, on 11 March 1925, at the call of the Reverend Francis M. Marvin, whose account we are now following, between 500 and 600 persons from several eastern states gathered at Stroudsburg and organized "The Greater Heirs of the Abraham Van Horn Estate Association," later renamed "The Van Horn Heirs Association." Subsequent investigation showed the said "estate uncollectible, unsubstantiated by any facts other than a letter from an attorney, Mr. Watson." Nevertheless, the association at its "reunion" on 4 July 1925 directed its officers to investigate "to the bottom" all possible leads. At the reunion of 3 July 1926, Marvin reported that the Abraham Van Horne and other claims were without foundation, but further investigations were ordered. Finally, on 5 July 1927 the organization, in line with reality, was changed from "The Van Horn Heirs Association" to "The Van Horn Historical and Genealogical Research Association of Pennsylvania." Prior to this, Marvin and his co-worker, W. H. Siglin, submitted their "claims" to a lawyer for review. These claims were: (1) that "many, if not all of the Van Horn and Van Horne descendants in this country through marriage, which we hope to show through our genealogical proofs," were entitled to the Anneke Jans Bogardus "fortune" in New York City; (2) that the claim to land in the Harlem section of New York City "is a claim in which the Van Horne and Van Horne descendants are interested through a direct marriage with the grantees"; (3) that the discredited Abraham Van Horne claim should be extended to include all Van Homes shown in the 1703 census of the City of New York; and (4) that "Anna Maria Jansen, wife of Cornelius Jansen Van Horne and first [sic] Van Horne in this country shared with her brother Wolfert Webber and her sister Anneke Jan Bogardus in legacies both in Holland and America." In 1929, using these "claims" as facts, even when contrary to obviously factual evidence, Marvin published The Van Horne Family History, a work which we have been following as stated, but which has been called "Marvin's illfounded suppositions." He leaned heavily on the three Van Horn/Van Horne accounts published by C. S. Williams without giving credit, and with alterations when such were necessary to fit Williams' accounts into these "Van Horn claims." In 1911 Williams had published accounts of Joris Jansen Van Horne and Christian Barentsen Van Horn and in 1912 he published an account of Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn in which he failed to insert correctly Joris Jansen Van Hoorn as a son. He denied (p. 97 of his book on Christian Barentsen) the right of any person named Van Horn to claim descent from Jan Cornelis Van Hoorn, yet Marvin's book shows most if not all of the Van Horns and most of the Van Hornes of the Whitehouse family, including himself, as descendants of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and, in turn, his eldest son, Cornelis Jansen Van Hoorn. The purpose of this article is to compile a factual account of the early generations of the Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn family. One small branch of this family came into contact with a branch of the Christian Barentsen Van Horn family at present Jersey City. Other branches lived in central New Jersey, near, but not in close contact, with the Van Hornes of Whitehouse, New Jersey. Thus the real task is not so much one of separating the various Van Horn/Van Horne families, but of weeding out the untruths in the accounts of Marvin and, to a lesser extent, those of Williams and others. Williams, and Marvin in turn, apparently thought that every Jan Cornelisen in New Amsterdam was Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. He lists items of information that do not apply to him and other items that may or may not apply. If we depend only on direct identifiable evidence, little can be said about Jan's activities in New Amsterdam. His date of arrival is unknown, his land holdings uncertain. On 23 June 1645 he did receive land grants on the south side of Marketfield Street, and he may have had other land within the city proper. On 20 April 1661 he bought a water mill from Abraham Pietersen, miller, located "on the fresh water" near present Foley Square (Holland Soc. Yearb. 1900, 132). On 4 Oct. 1647 he signed a power of attorney to Jan Jansszen of New Amsterdam to receive money due him in Amsterdam. A Jan Cornelisen served as a school teacher in New Amsterdam but there is no evidence which indicates that he was Van Hoorn. In September 1664 (N.S.) Jan Cornelis Van Hooren joined with other citizens of New Amsterdam and vicinity in asking Pieter Stuyvesant to surrender New Amsterdam (and thus all of New Netherland) to the British without fighting to defend it (Col. Docs. of N.Y. 2:250). Williams and Marvin say he signed the oath of allegiance to the British Crown in October 1664, but his name does not appear on the printed list of signers. He was granted small burgher rights on 14 April 1657. He is shown in an undated entry on the membership list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam (N.Y. Gen. & Biogr. Rec. 9:43). The position of his name on this list may indicate that he joined the church as early as 1659. His wife, Hillegond Joris, joined the church on 2 July 1662 (ibid. 75), and both of these may have been re-entries or on summary lists of members. Hillegond Joris and a Jan Corneliszen whom we may assume was her husband appear together on 12 July 1654 and he last appears on the baptismal register, 25 July 1666. Jan died not long after that, for, with banns dated 16 June 1669, Hillegond Joris, as widow of Jan Corneliszen, married Mr. Evert Pietersen Keteltas, widower of Grietje Arents. He was a school teacher, and he and Hillegond lived in the old Van Hoorn home on the south side of present Stone Street, between William and Broad Streets in about 1674 and in 1686. At this time both were shown as members of the Dutch Reformed Church (Holl. Soc. Yearb. 1896:173; 1916:30). Hillegond was a midwife, and from 21 April 1655 was one of the official midwives of the city. She was recently called "the famous midwife" (Record 72:291). She appeared as a witness of the baptisms of numerous children, many of whom are of no traceable relationship to her, the first one on 27 Sept. 1643. On 7 March 1670/1 Evert Pietersen and wife Hillegon Joris asked the Court to "authorize some persons to compose if possible the differences arising between the above named Hillegont Joris and her children by a former marriage relative to their father's property." The difficulty must not have been serious or of long duration, for Hillegond continued to witness the baptisms of her grandchildren, the last time on 4 July 1683. Williams lists children for Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn and his wife Hillegond Joris whom we cannot accept. They were baptized in the New Amsterdam Dutch Reformed Church as children of one or more Jan Corneliszens, all without names of their mothers and without place names for their fathers: Abraham, bapt. 8 Aug [should be Sept.] 1647. Abraham, bapt. 24 Oct. 1649. Judith, bapt. 25 Feb. 1652. Williams and Marvin both use these baptismal dates as birth dates, and Marvin adds a fourth child, Aefje, born 12 May 1654, and says that she married, first, John Tudor, and second, John Theobalds Sr. Actually it was a granddaughter, Aefje, baptized 31 Oct. 1673, who married Tudor and Theobolds. As for the two Abrahams and Judith, we are not certain of the identity of their father or fathers. Not one of the three children we credit to Jan Corneliszen Van Hoorn and Hillegond Joris can be clearly identified as such by direct documentary evidence. None was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam. No probate has been found for either Jan or Hillegond. The conclusions which follow are drawn from existing records and are based on known customs. Witnesses at baptisms were usually relatives but at times were, instead, friends of the family. Children were usually named for close relatives, often the oldest for their grandparents. The marriage records of the three children indicate that Cornelis and Joris were born in Hoorn, in Noordt Holland, before the family left there. Neeltje, the third child, was born in Amsterdam, also in Noordt Holland: Children: . . . i. Cornelis Jansen. . . . ii. Joris Jansen. . . . iii. Neeltje Jans." A child named Vroutje was baptized 12 Dec. 1643 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam as the child of Hillegond Joris and without witnesses. On 7 July 1644, Tryntje Jonas, the official midwife, made a declaration "respecting a confession of Hillegond Joris as to the paternity of her child." On the 9th and 11th of July four persons declared that "Hellegond Joris had said that Jan, the pilot of the Seven Seas, was the father of her newly born child." On the 14th the Fiscal (Sheriff) brought suit against Laurens Cornelissen, skipper of the Maid of Enckhuysen, for (1) smuggling, (2) adultery with Hellegond Joris, and (3) speaking disrespectfully of the director-general (the second charge having been denied under oath on 28 July, it was dismissed) [Calendar of Dutch MSS 28, 89 f.]. No further records concerning this child have been found. Williams and Marvin list her as a child of Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn. Williams makes no comment while Marvin says she died without issue."	Joris, Hillegond (I5906)

Zabriskie, George Olin, "The Jan Cornelisen Van Hoorn/Van Horne Family," The American Genealogist, Vol. 46, No. 1 (January 1970), pp. 47-51: "The introduction to a companion article ("Christian Barentsen Van Horn,"TAG, supra, 43:193 f.) mentioned the confused state or previously published accounts of the various Van Horn/Van Horne families. That article and this discuss the two families which trace their lineage back to immigrant ancestors who at times used a Van Hoorn surname. The source of the Van Horne name in a third family is not evident. It is covered by Mrs. Elsie O. Hallenback in her Our Van Horne Kindred (n.d. but ca. 1960). It stems from two brothers, Cornelius and Abraham Van Horne of Whitehouse, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

Cossairt, 1936, p. 52: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 153. Maria or Mary Cossart, daughter of David Cossart (9), baptised at New York City July 3, 1706. She was baptised in the Dutch church as Maria but in her father's will she is called Mary Williamson. The fact that her father names Peter Williamson as one of the executors of his will indicates that was the Christian name of his son-in-law. This family which later became very numerous in Somerset County, N.J. seems to have first settled about Bound Brook and Raritan. The first mention I find of the name is in 1706 when a David Williamson and wife appear as witnesses to a baptism at Raritan on February 24, 1739 a Peter Williamson and wife Mary appear at this chruch to have a son Jacob baptised and again on January 25, 1745; they have a son Theodore baptised, but whether the mother was Mary Cossart or not we do not know. But very few of the name appear on the early Raritan records. I judge that most of the family belonged to Bound Brook Presbyterian church whose records cannot be found, it being the custom of the Presbyterian pastors of this period to take the records with them when they changed pastorates. The records of the early Bound Brook church were they now available, would doubtless throw much light on many of these early Bound Brook families. The name Peter Williamson appears on many public documents now recorded in the Secretary of State's office at Trenton, New Jersey. His services seem to have been much in demand in the settlement of estates, transfers of land and etc., by men of this locality, but whether he was the same Peter who seems to have married Mary Cossart or a later Peter, that we do not know. The name of the common ancestor of this family or from whence they came, we have not yet been able to learn. Peter Williamson was one of the executors of David and Johannes Cossarts wills. The children of Williamson were supposed to have used the surname of Williams and several of them were members of the Dutch Colony in York County, Pennsylvania, and some of them went to Kentucky with the pioneer, Peter Cossart, son of Francis Cossart (157)." 2. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family."

See New Jersey Archives 1st Series, volume xxx. The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground. The births of eleven of the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City as follows: CHILDREN: 149. Leah Cossart, baptised July 21, 1697. 150.

Cossairt, 1936, p. 48: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. Lea (or Leah) Cossart, daughter of David Cossart (8), baptised at the New York Dutch Church July 21, 1697, named for her grandmother Lea or Lydia Cossart. At the age of 19 she married John Harpending, a shoemaker of New York, March 31, 1716. She being the only child of David and Christina Cossart who married, at New York before the family left for Bound Brook, New Jersey. In 1719 DavId deeded his New York Property to his son-in-law John Harpending and it is supposed he with the remainder of his family left soon afterwards for their new home near Bound Brook, New Jersey. Ahasuerus, the first child of John and Lea was baptised at the New York Church on January 27, 1718 and was doubtless named for his mother’s uncle Ahasuerous Van Horne, as no further record of him can be found it is presumed that he died in childhood. Their next son Henry when grown to manhood joined his grandfather David Cossarts family at Bound Brook, N.J., where on January 12, 1742 he married Mary Coon. See the account of David Cossart (8) regarding Henry Harpending, Thomas Coon, etc. These two sons are the only two children of John and Lea. that we can find any record of.when grown to manhood joined his grandfather David Cossarts family at Bound Brook, N.J., where on January 12, 1742 he married Mary Coon. See the account of David Cossart (8) regarding Henry Harpending, Thomas Coon, etc. These two sons are the only two children of John and Lea. that we can find any record. The Registers Office, New York City, Liber 30, page 340, date April 25, 1719. Deed of David Cossaert, Yeoman and wife Christina to John Harpending Jr., Cordwainer. All of the City of New York; for 300 pounds, house and ground on Prince Street; 2 rods 8 feet 3 inches in front, 2 rods 3 feet in rear; 8 rods 7 feet long on both sides. Recorded for John Harpending Jr., May 8, 1723. This was David Cossart’s home property on Princes Street, before he left New York City for Bound Brook, New Jersey. The Raritan Church records show that on May 27, 1744, Henry and Mary Harpending have a daughter Lea. baptized at the church. The daughter Lea was doubtless named for its grandmother, Lea. Cossart who had died prior to June 10, 1736 the date on which her father David Cossart made his will. On March 9, 1746 Henry and Mary again appear at Raritan to have a daughter Catherine baptised Mary Coon was probably a daughter of Thomas Coon Sr., of Bound Brook and if so she had a brother Thomas Coon Jr., whose daughter Catherine became the wife of Anthony Cossart or Cosad of Bernards Township born 1740 died 1790. We find no further trace of Henry and Mary (Coon) Harpending. A Peter Harpending of Somerset County served in the Revolutionary War — See “Jerseymen in the Revolution” by W.S. Strykor. While I find no record of his baptism yet I think it probable that he was a son of Henry and Mary of Bound Brook, New Jersey. CHILDREN: 160. i.

FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.

Jacob Cossart, son , of David Cossart (9) baptised at the Dutch Church January 28, 1702, named for his grandfather Jacques Cossart (3). He seemed to have married at about the age of 21 to Wilhelmina Kinney or Kenne. The fact that her family name does not appear on the Raritan church records but does appear on the Harlingen church records and the further fact that she had one of her children baptised at the Harlingen Church indicates that her people lived over in Montgomery Township in the vicinity of Harlingen. David Cossart's (9) will was made on June 10, 1736 and in this will be made provisions for the three children of his son Jacob, then deceased. While the Raritan church records show that Jacob had a son Jacob baptised at that church November 14, 1736 indicating that Jacob must have died either from accident or after a brief illness shortly prior to the time his father's will was drawn and that his fourth child, a posthumous child, was born after his death. Nothing further is known of his widow or children. She may have remarried and taken the children to some other locality. Note: See article under Anthony Cossart, son of Anthony (10). CHILDREN: 163.

Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.

See New Jersey Archives 1st Series, volume xxx. The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground. The births of eleven of the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City as follows: CHILDREN: 149. Leah Cossart, baptised July 21, 1697. 150.

Cossairt, 1936, pp. 44-45: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. Joris (or George Cossart) eldest son of David (9), baptised at New York Dutch Church November 19, 1699. Named for his grandfather Joris Van Horne. As a young man he learned the bricklayers trade and the records seem to indicate that he followed this trade during his lifetime. At the age of 31, September 16, 1730 he married Elizabeth Hoaglandt baptised at New York November 20, 1706. She being the daughter of Johannes Hoaglandt baptised 1666 and his second wife Jannetie Andries or Andrews. They had another daughter Catherine baptised October 4, 1713 who about 1735 married Johannes Cossart son of Anthony (9), thus it will be seen that George and Johannes Cossart were both cousins and brothers-in-law, they had a brother-in-law Adrian Hoaglandt who also settled in Bridgewater Township in the vicinity of Bound Brook and Raritan, New Jersey. Johannes Hoaglandt, the father of these children lived at New York then in Brooklyn and then on Staten Island and it is supposed that he later removed to Somerset County, New Jersey. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 1893, page 53 states that George Cossart soon after his marriage sailed for Europe on a ship which was lost at sea and was never heard of afterwards, but New York show that if he was lost at sea as stated it did not occur for at least 19 years after his marriage. The will of his father David Cossart (9) dated 1736 probated 1740 shows that George was given the homestead in New Jersey. Note:See family tradition on page 11. October 29, 1733 George and Elizabeth Cossart appear at the Raritan Dutch Church to have their daughter jannete baptised - the grandmother Christina Cossart also appears as witness. July 25, 1736 George's sister Susanna Cossart and her husband Richard Conine appear at this church to have their son Johannes baptised. George and Elizabeth Cossart appear as witnesses at this baptism. This being the last New Jersey record that we can find bearing George's name. Now we will turn to the New York Records. Collections of the New York Historical Society, Volume 18 (1885), in the list of Freemen of the City of New York, page 152 date May 7, 1745 appears the name of George Coesaart, bricklayer. The name of all other Freemen of the city also appear on this list. The records of the New York Dutch Church show that on January 11, 1749 joris Kosaart and wife Elisabeth Hoogeland appear as witness to the baptism of a child. This being the last record that can be found bearing the name of George Cossart (150). All available records seem to indicate that George at about the age of 20 must have accompanied his parents to the Raritan - Bound Brook settlement in New Jersey, where some ten years later he married Elizabeth Hoaglandt and they remain in the settlement until after his father's death which it is thought occured the later part of 1739. Then some time prior to May 7, 1745 he must have returned to New York City where he is listed as a bricklayer that year and where four years later his name appears on the records of the New York Dutch Church, and the fact that no later record of him can be found indicates that he must have left New York City on his fatal journey to Europe not far from 1750. Three years later (1753) his daughter and only child was married to William Weaver, his widow Elizabeth Hoagland, died in 1792 aged 86 years. See the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 47, pp. 48-60 "The Weaver Family Genealogy". His child Jannetje of Jane (162) baptised October 29, 1733 at Raritan, New Jersey, died September 1, 1817. We find the following record in "The Hoagland Family in America", page 29: 15. Elizabeth, daughter of Johannes Hoogelandt was baptised in New York City November 20, 1706. Adrian Hoochlandt and Elizabeth Hoochlandt, widow, being witnesses. They were here uncle and grandmother. She was married by license to Joris Cousaar on September 16, 1730, the license being dated two days previous. They had one daughter, Jane, who married William Weaver. William and Jane Weaver had a daughter Elizabeth, who married John Greenwood. She (Elizabeth) died March 27, 1861, aged 92 years at the home of her nephew, Clark Greenwood. "Elizabeth would be 24 when she married and Cousaar would be 31, George Coesart was a "freeman" in 1745; son of David Coesart (9), of Somerset County, New Jersey, who died in 1740. George was an older son, but not an Executor. David's widow was to have use of the estate during her lifetime." George Cossart and his wife Elizabeth Hoeglandt had: CHILDREN: 162. Jennete (or Jane) Cossart, born October 12, 1733 (OS)." 2. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.

See New Jersey Archives 1st Series, volume xxx. The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground. The births of eleven of the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City as follows: CHILDREN: 149. Leah Cossart, baptised July 21, 1697. 150. Joris (or George) Cossart, born August 19, 1699. 151. Jacob Cossart, born January 28, 1702. 152. David Cossart Jr., born April 25, 1704. 153. Maria Cossart, born July 3, 1706. 154.

The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground.

Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.

5543	RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Zacharias Stocker: Zacharias first shows in Goersdorf where he is named a new citizen in 1674. He along with Hans Jacob Stocker, grandfather of the Pennsylvania immigrant, were the only two Stockers in the earliest Preuschdorf parish records. Zacharias is reported having died in 1692 at Goersdorf. In Feldberg, we find his two first marriages: Zacharias and Maria Keller on 27 Jun 1659; Zacharias and Katherine Schum on 4 Apr 1667. In the 1659 marriage record, he is identified as the son of Christian; in the 1667 marriage record he is identified as a widower and carpenter; and in both records "of Gennenbach." This information shows that he was possibly the son of Christian Stocker and Margretha Wackerin (see A-4 above). Based on Zacharias being first married in 1659, his birth would probably be no later than about 1634 assuming being age 25 or older at the marriage. Five of Christian and Margretha's children are documented being born from 1650 to 1655, which is a large gap from Zacharias' assumed birth date. This may mean that Christian (1605-1669) was married twice with Zacharias being of the earlier marriage. Another problem may be the age difference between Christian and Margretha -- Christian would have been 45 in 1650 and Margretha 10 to 20 years younger to be in her child-bearing years. Such large gaps in years between spouses in this era is a bit unusual but perhaps not impossible. There is also the possiblity that there may have been an earlier generation Christian for which no mention has yet been found in the records. (Price and Associate's report of 17 Feb 2014, p. 4, discusses another Hans Michael Stocker who died in the Preuschdorf in 1762, at age 73, making a birth of 1689. There were then three Hans Michael Stockers in the Preuschdorf area at the same time. The youngest, the Pennsylvania immigrant born in 1701, the younger born in 1689, and the "older" born in 1684 who was father of the Maryland immigrant. Noel Stoker has indicated the one born in 1689 was the son of Zacharias (who married Anna Catharina Naegelin on 21 June 1681 in Preuschdorf); this Zacharias is most likely the same Zacharias who was the son of Christian.)

Price and Associates, Inc., (c) Research Report, prepared for Noel Stoker and used by his permission. Report dated 29 July 2016. File name: PreuschdorfExtractions2016June/1333 ADDENDUM. This report was commissioned by Noel Stoker to try to find patterns of Stocker family church entries in Preuschdorf to help find a migration pattern of Stockers to Preuschdorf. There is some interesting information about a Niclaus, but there is no known connection except surname and proximity. There may be some information derived from Nicklaus, but it is too tentative to know without further research. I do not include the addendum listing of all the Preuschdorf entries since they are not within the scope of the Stockers in my database. A transcript of the report: "Objective: Review Preuschdorf extractions for relevance to 1) ancestral Hans Michael Stocker (chr 1684), direct descendant of Christian Stocker of Feldberg through his son Johann Friedrich; 2) Johann Michael Stocker (chr 1688), also a direct descendant of Christian Stocker of Feldberg through his older son Zacharias Stocker 3) Hans Michael Stocker, Pennsylvania immigrant (chr. 1701), proposed direct descendant of Jacob Stocker of Rottweil/Kottwil, Switerland through his son Hans Jacob Stocker of Feldberg. Results: -Potentially most significant finding was related to Niclaus Stucker/Stocker, "origin of Gross Hochstetten, Switzerland," and later of both Soultz-sous-Forets and nearby Preuschdorf, Alsace, France. Grosshochstetten is located in the canton of Bern, also reportedly the canton containing "Rottwil" or "Kottwill," home of Jacob Stocker during the mid-1600s. As per these most recent extractions, Niclaus and wife Anna Maria migrated to the Preuschdorf by 1695, having two children christened there, Hanns Georg (1695) and Anna Barbara (1697). This appears to be new information. In reviewing previous reports, a Niclaus and Anna Maria Stucker of Hermerswiller had a son Niclaus christened in 1688 at Soultz-sous-Forets, less than five miles from Preuschdorf. As such, it is believed this was the same couple. The Soultz-sous Forets records specifically identified Niclaus with his origin at Gross Hochstetten, providing a direct link to this Stucker/Stocker family later at Preuschdorf. It is possible Niclaus traveled specifically to Preuschdorf in order to join relatives who were already living there. -Mapped locations of aforementioned sites. Noted Niclaus Stucker/Stocker traveled approximately 300 km (185 miles) almost directly northward in order to move from Grosshochstetten in Bern canton to Preuschdorf in Alsace. A migration from Kottwil (56 km northeast of Grosshochstetten) to Feldberg (120 km) to Preuschdorf (175 km) would also be a continual northward travel pattern. A migration from Oberrotweil (or Niederrotweil) to Feldberg would necessitate first traveling southeast approximately 70 km before proceeding again northward to Preuschdorf (175 km). -Determined that the new Stocker surname christenings found during this project were mainly members of the Zacharias Stocker line. -Noted that the last two marriages of Zacharias Stocker which reportedly occurred at Gorsdorf and Preuschdorf are NOT in the printed Preuschorf book. Moreover, recent research confirmed that marriages 1674-1682 are not in the original registers. The sources of the 1678 and 1681 marriages should be restudied in the event the original entries might provide valuable information. Is there a separate register for Gorsdorf? -Learned the 1681 Lutheran christening at Soultz sous Forets for Hans Philipp Stocker, son of Jacob and Maria Stocker of Hermerswiller, specifically listed the couple as "married people of the Pontif religion" (Catholic). Hermerswiller was also the 1688 residence of the Niclaus Stucker who was originally from Grosshochstetten, Switzerland. While it is not known if the two couples were directly related, it is possible the Stockers of Switzerland were originally Catholic. -Discovered a statement on Kottwil's Wikipedia page that "Previously, all the inhabitants were members of the Roman Catholic Church." Noted there were Catholic Stockers at Kottwil/Ettiswil, Switzerland by at least 1620. A Jacob Stocker was baptized there in 1621, son of either Johannes or Steffan Stocker (discrepancies between two research reports). He was presumed to be too young to be the same Jacob, father of the Hans Jacob who married at Feldberg in 1661. However, in view of the fact that Hans Jacob's wife Margaretha Schinbein was not christened until Sep 1643, it is possible Hans Jacob was also quite young, having been born ca 1641/3 as well, allowing for his father Jacob to have been born perhaps as late as 1621 at Kottwil. -Concluded it would be valuable to search post-1640 records at Kottwill for any additional Stocker clues. In later years, it is evident the ancestral family were members of the Lutheran, not Catholic, church as per the Preuschdorf-area registers. The Feldberg Lutheran records only date back to 1639, but the family were adherents by at least 1649 when a burial was found for Hans Stocker. However, it would appear the ONLY records for Kottwil/Ettiswil in Switzerland are Catholic, not Lutheran. Any work in Oberrotweil, Niederrotweil, and/or Rottweil in Germany should continue to focus on Catholic as well as Lutheran entries. Recommendations: -Determine if the 1690 burial date at Goersdorf for Hans Jacob Stocker reveals his age. -Verify correct sources for the 1687 and 1681 marriages of Zacharias Stocker. Are there separate registers for Gorsdorf/Goersdorf? -Conduct research in Catholic records of Kottwil/Ettiswill for the years after 1640. Did the Jacob christened in 1621 live to adulthood and remain in this area? Is it possible he married ca 1638/1642 and had a son Hans Jacob ca 1639/1643? Is there a Jacob Stocker and wife Maria at Kottwil prior to 1681 who might have migrated to Hermerswiller in Soultz sous Forets? -Determine if the Wikipedia statement is true. Were ALL inhabitants of Kottwil members of the Catholic faith or are these simply the only surviving records. -Assure searches in Oberrotweil, Niederrotweil, and Rottweil in Germany have included all surviving pre-1680 Lutheran as well as Catholic records. -Carefully examine records of Grosshochstetten, Bern, Switzerland for all Stucker/Stocker, etc entries. Search both Catholic and Lutheran registers."	Stocker, Zacharias (I3354)

His will dated 8-20-1791 (#8221L), proved 6-11-1793, reads in part: In the name of God Amen, I Awrey Longstreet of the County of Middlesex Corporation of New Brunswick and Eastern Division of the State of New Jersey, Yeoman, being in perfect Health of Body and sound and disposing mind and memory many thanks be given to Almighty God for that and all other his manifold mercies to me and as it is appointed to all men to die I do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament in manner following that is to say my principally and first of all, I give and commend my Soul into the hands of almighty God who gave it and my Body to the earth to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executors nothing doubting but at the general resurrection to receive the same again by the mighty power of God, and as touching my Temporal Estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life I give and bequeath the same after the following manner and form, viz... Awrey gave his "beloved wife Lydia ... one feather bed and furniture for same and likewise my riding-chair and harness ... and my negro Caesar"; Awrey made bequests to the "two sons of my eldest daughter Moica, John Reid and Aaron Reid"; he gave his clock to his son Christopher; to his son Aaron he gave his smith tools and "all that part of my land situate and lying on the east side of the brook on which Thomas Van Dyke formerly built a saw-mill"; he gave his daughter Ann, wife of William Surtis, 120 pounds of "prock" money; to "the children of my son Derick Longstreet deceased, 100 poounds; to three children of "my deceased son James in the followin manner, viz. to his two sons cornelius and Aaron 100 pounds and to his daughter Helena 50 pounds"; to his daughter Lydia, wife of Mather Van Dyke 100 pounds and also "twelve acres of woodland lying on Rocky Hill in the County of Middlesex on the easterly side of the Great Road" ... He appointed as executors" Samual Longstreet, Christopher Longstreet and Aaron Longstreet, all of them my sons". Awrey's residence in Middlesex County, at Rocky Hill, was doubtless due to "the tract at Raritom" bequeathed him by his father (see will #1001M). The exact location of this property has not be determined. In 1766 a re-survey of the Somerset-Middlesex County line was made, and a preserved copy shows "Longstreet Road" on the Middlesex County side of the line, next to Rocky Brook, just west of Kingston and Millstone River. We do not know how early Awrey occupied his tract in what, after 1700, was created into South Brunswick Tp, an area about seven by eight miles and in which area came to be settled the towns of Kingston, Rocky Hill and Cranbury (History of Middlesex County, NJ, by Wall and Pickersgill, I, p.52). Awrey is listed as a freeholder there in 1748 (First Settlers of Piscataway and Woodbridge, NJ, by M.J. Monnette, p.358). There is a deed which he signed as "arre" in Lib. H-2, p.398, in 1754. In the Trenton State House are many "Retables" or tax lists on which Awrey (listed as "Aaron") owned 350 acres of improved land valued at 70 pounds, 7 horses, 15 head of cattle, 10 hogs and one slave. In 1786, his taxes were three pounds, o-half shilling and two pence. His farm suffered some damage from the British during the Revolution, evidence of which may be seen in a claim which he filed 10-19-1782 (see file in Trenton State House) and which asserts that in December, 1776, the British took away 5 loads of oats, some tanned calf-skins, one pair of stockintgs, worsted rope, 6 barrels of apples, 3 loaves of bread, and "one day with horse and wagon". Awrey Longstreet, being sworn, saith that the above inventory is just and true to the best of my knowledge and that he was knowing to the British troops and their adherents during part of the above damage and that he has just reason to believe that they did the remainder and that he has not received any satisfaction for any of the articles. The order of birth of Awrey's children is difficult to determine. Only one baptismal record has been found and that seems to be for his eighth and last child (probably the only child born of his second marriage). He names in his will Moica as eldest daughter and refers to her first. Her com. inscr. (Topanemus Cem. near Marlboro) shows that she was b. 5-15-1755. His second named child in the will is son Samuel and if this is the Samuel bur. First Presbyterian Churchyard at Cranbury, he was b. 1738. The inscr. reads "died 12-21-1829 in the 91st year of his age". If, as seems most probable, the Aaron bur. in the Presbyterian Churchyard at Kingston is Awrey's son, the he was b. 1741 (SAR application papers #36022 and #45468). The cem. inscr. reads that he d. 5-25-1829 in 88th year; the worn stone bears marks which well may have been "junior", an appelation found frequently in the records of the time for this son of Awrey. The daughter Ann who m. William Burtis 3-15-1764 was, therefore, not born much later than 1746. The son James has a son b. 1777 (as per cem. enscr. in Onondage Vallen, N.Y.) who m. a wife who was pb. before 1755; therefore James was in all likelihood b. of Awrey's first marriage. In the light of such data as we have, the following is proposed as the order of birth of Awrey's children: -Moica b. 5-15-1735 -Samuel b. 1738 -Christopher -Aaron b. 1741 -Ann b. ca. 1745 -Derrick b. ca. 1747 -James b. ca. 1750 -Lydia bp. 6-10-1759 (as per entry in Symmes "History of Old Tennent Church", p 214 which reads: "Aaron of Rocky Hill had baptized Lydia").” 2.

The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D17-D21: “STOFFEL DIRCKSEN LANGESTRAET was born about 1666. About 1695 he married MOICA, (called by way of pet name MAYKE or Maicken) LANEN VAN PELT, daughter of Gysbrecht Tuysz Lanen Van Pelt, of New Utrecht. He was a deacon of the Flatlands church in the year 1698. Not long after this he, his brother Adrian, and probably his father moved across to New Jersey. There he settled on the Neversink Hills (some accounts say at Deal) in Monmouth County, where his descendants abound to this day. From the "American Weekly Mercury," of date February 14-21, 1726-7, the following extract is taken: "Langstreat Theophilus.-From the Shrewsbury in East Jersey, on Saturday, the last day of December, 1726, Theophilus Longstreat, of Shrewsbury in the county of Monmouth, aged near sixty years, he met with seven swans flying over a meadow, who shot down six of them at one shot, such a shot was never known amongst us." His will, dated December 1, 1739, was probated March 1, 1741; and he therefore died about the latter date. In that will, he calls himself "Theophilus," an erroneous interpretation of his proper name of Stoffel, or Christopher. He signed his name "Stoffel Langstrat." The will of his wife was dated April 8, 1752, and it was probated Mar. 13, 1753; so that she must have died about the latter date. These wills name some of their children, but not all of them. (See Appendix 1, and Appendix 2.) Those children, so far as now known, were as follows: 1. Dirck (Richard), baptized in Brooklyn, April 25, 1697. (Dirck married a wife named Jane, or Jonica. He died Dec. 4, 1795, in his 99th year. We find this mention of him in "The Historical Collections of New Jersey," on page 351: "The following account of an incursion of the British into this township in the American Revolution, is contained in a published letter, dated Kildare, Monmouth Co., April 9, 1778: 'About 135 of the enemy landed on Sunday last, about 10 o'clock, on the south side of Squam inlet, burnt all the salt-works, broke the kettles, etc., stripped the beds, etc., of some people there, who I fear wished to serve them; then crossed the river, and burnt all except Dirrick Longstreet's. After this mischief they embarked. The next day they landed at Shark river, and set fire to two salt-works, when they observed fifteen horsemen heave In sight, which occasioned them to retreat with great precipitation; indeed, they jumped in their fiat-bottomed boats with such precipitation they sunk two of them." At the time of this fortunate escape, Dirck was 82 years of age.) 2. Jane (or Jonica), born about 1698. 3. Catherine, born about 1700; married Jan Sutphen, of New Jersey, about 1720. 4. Mary (or Maria), baptized May 6, 1702; married first Wm. Hendricksen, of New Jersey; and second, Dirck Sutphen. 5. Sarah, born about 1705. 6. Gisbert (or Gilbert) born about 1707; baptized November 26, 1710; married Rachel Schenck; died in 1758. 7. Aaron, baptized Nov. 6. 1710; married May 6, 1754, Lydia Hull. 8. Stoffel, of whom hereafter. 9. Moica, baptized March 6. 1716; supposed to have married Johannes, Leek. 10. Anna born about 1718. Having brought the family history down to the middle of the last century, and reached the period when the name assumed its English form of LONGSTREET it may be helpful and interesting to interrupt the course of the narrative in order to consider what manner of people these were and after what fashion they lived. History tells us something of the traits and habits of their friends and neighbors. "In their family intercourse, and among themselves in their business matters, they continued to use the Dutch language. Several of the old people do so to this day. Their frugal mode of life, their severe and constant bodily labor, their-economical habits, were proverbial. For many generations, their word was their bond, a verbal contract being deemed sufficient. If they toiled hard and earned money they studiously endeavored to save it by prudent investment. They indulged in no costly dress or equipage, and in home-spun garments, neat, clean and whole, they visited the market-place and the sanctuary. The avails of the family toil, in spinning flax and wool, in weaving and coloring, were constantly seen in the ordinary dress, and in the many articles for family use. Goodly stores of domestic linens and woolens were sure to be found in every well-regulated family. "Nor were they apt to be long retained in the piece, as they came from the weaver's hands, or from the fulling and dressing mills. They were at the earliest convenience of the industrious mother and her active daughters, manufactured into appropriate garments for every member of the family. So far did these provident arrangements extend that in the event of a death, the habiliments for the corpse need not be sent for, or hurriedly put together. The well stored cases or old fashioned clothes-press, contained them all. We have seen on some occasions, the beautifully plaited and well crimped garments brought forth meet the painful exigency. From the same bountiful stores, when the daughters went forth in the new relation of wives, and commence house keeping, their mothers industry, and their own early labors, were well attested by the goodly supply of personal garments, with bedding of every description, and in more recent times, with beautiful domestic carpeting, of their own spinning and coloring. "It was, however, common for the youthful husband and wife to have their home, for the first year of married life under the roof of her parents. "With the young people of both sexes, the custom long prevailed of riding on horse-back. Especially about the seasons of the holidays at New York, Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide. In the evening rides, going in pairs, a beau and a belle mounted on the same animal, the latter seated behind the former, with firm, grip holding on to him who had sought her company. Go where you might, you were sure to see, near the parental dwelling, the huge stepping-block, with its convenient and wide notches, well cut in, serving for steps by which to ascend to its even top, as a firm foundation on which for the sprightly girl to stand until the well-kept steed should be brought up, and thence to spring into her seat; and on which, on returning, to alight It is only within the last twenty-five years (written 1856) this once favorite mode of youthful pleasure-riding, gave way to that of companies of two pairs each, in a substantial wagon, and which, in still later days, has been superseded by the most tasteful buggy. On marriage occasions, long processions of wagons or sleighs, filled with the mirthful escort of 'the happy twain made one,' told of the nuptials, wherever they went, the whole company singing by the way. If they did not possess the luxuries of the neighboring city of New York, or indulge in its extravagances, the people did possess and enjoy their home comforts, and were well content. "In the old churches the number of the first psalm was set with movable figures suspended at the sides of the pulpit. These the clerk properly arranged before service, so that everyone might readily prepare to sing. It was also the clerk's duty to have an hour-glass properly placed near the minister at the commencement of the sermon, and as the last grains of sand left the upper for the lower cavity, it was a reminder that the time had arrived for the conclusion. Some preachers, however, quietly allowed the sand to run out, and then informed their audience, that as they had sat so patiently through the one, they, would proceed with a second. The collections during the service were taken in velvet bags attached to the ends of long poles, with a small alarm bell fastened to the end. When a coin was given the bell rang; if it passed through a pew silently, it showed that nothing had been contributed by the persons in that pew. It required experienced dexterity to handle them well, to avoid the pillars and the bonnets. Previous to 1802 there were no stoves in the churches. The ladies were accustomed to bring their foot-stoves, and to replenish them at a house near by. “In those days, when the ladies went out to spend the day, or to make an afternoon visit at the parsonage, they carried their spinning wheels and flax with them. Among the old social customs was one to furnish the persons invited to funerals, with tobacco, pipes and liquor -- a custom which was sadly abused. This was happily abandoned about 1815. Funeral sermons do not appear to have been used in this church in olden times."

Evidence that #33 Garret was the son of #10 Gisbert is found in an indenture dated 11-13-1793 between Richard, Garret and Gisbert Longstreet on the one side and John Polon on the other, all of Shrewsbury Tp. referring to a piece of "meadow given in the last will and testament of the present grantors' grandfather Theophilus Longstreet to his two sons as joint pardners Dereck Longstreet and Gisbert Longstreet, and from them the said Dereck Longstreet and Gisbert Longstreet, with more, was bequeathed to us". (This indenture is in the possession of Miss Martha Poland, Manasquan, NJ.) See also will #1001M of Theophilus in which he devised jointly to "Derrick and Gisbut" the plantation on the north side of the Manasquan River. In his will (Bk 8, p.123) dated 7-26-1818, Garret describes himself as "of Howell", the name of the new Tp in which Manasquan was located, and he names the three sons referred to below. The inventory of his estate was made 8-1-1818 (Bk E, p.134). There is a cem. inscr. at Brielle which reads "Lydia, wife of Garret Longstreet, d. 8-13-1812 aged 69.3.19". This would be the Lydia Barraclow whom Garret m. 12-16-1802 (Mar. B,. A, p.71), apparently a second wife in his old age. There are two other marriage records, either or both of which may be Garret's; the mar. lic. of 12-27-1763 to Catherine Smock (DAR Lin. Bk. 103, p.259) and to Catherine Lawrence 5-9-1761 (NJ Archives 22:243). The Shrewsbury Ratables list Garret from 1779 to 1794. He is probably the Garret appointed to the Committte of Observation in Shrewsbury 5-27-1775 (Misc.12, 10:600). According to DAR application papers, he was a "judge in the inferior court of common pleas" in 1814, and a captain of the militia in 1776. But the date of birth in the DAR papers (1750) seems to be in error. His children were: -Gisbert b. 1770 (DAR lin. supra) -Barnes -Hendrick”	Barraclow, Lydia (I5732)
