PREFACE

The materials of which this book is composed were
gathered daring the last few years while engaged in tracing
the ancestry of my children. In the course of that undertak-
ing I proved the descent of my grandmother, Elizabeth
Margaret Cayler, from Hendrick Cnyler, the founder of
the Cnyler family in America, and in doing this I dis-
covered so mnch new and hitherto nnpnblished matter
concerning the early Caylers in Holland and America that I
determined to make a book of it.

Mnch remains to be done to make the history of the
family in anyway complete, bnt I trust that, even in its im-
perfect form, this work will prove of some value and interest
to the numerous Cuyler descendants.

It is a noteworthy fact that only one man of the name
ever emigrated to America, Hendrick Cuyler, the founder,
and that every Cuyler in this country and in England cor-
rectly claims descent from him and is entitled to bear or
quarter his armorial device.

The name Cuyler is of great antiquity, dating back
authentically to 1387, an unusual thing in the history of
Dutch surnames, and the coat-of-arms is found as early as
1602 in use as an official seal. The unbroken records show
that for five hundred years the Cuylers played an important
and honorable part in every generation, and a study of a
genealogical chart giving the descendants of Hendrick
Cuyler and his wife, Annetje Schepmoes, shows that there is
scarcely a Dutch family of consequence in New York who
are not related to them by consanguinity or affinity.

I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Panl J.
Kapteyn, archivist of Amsterdam, for his painstaking re-
searches in Holland, to Mr. Teleman Cnyler for his generous
contribution of material relating to the southern branch
of the family, and to Mr. Alexander James Wohlhagen of
The New York Historical Society for his intelligent and
careful assistance in the compilation of this book.

CUYLLR ARMS

The EncyhptBdia Britannica says: *' The best if not the only
safe evidence for the origin of armorial bearings is that afforded
by seals."

The earliest record of the coat-of-arms is in 1502 when
" Thyman Koylert/' Alderman of Hasselt, used it as his official
seal. The armorial device of that seal is identical with the
Cuyler coat-of-arms which is taken from impressions of Hendrick
Cuyler*s own seal with which his wife Annetje Shepmoes Cuyler
sealed her will. He mentions the seal in his will March 21, 1690,
as follows: '* My youngest son Henry shall have my seal/* and
his wife making her will July 3, 1702, says that all the provisions
of her husband's will shall be carried out. She sealed her will
with two clear impressions of his seal which she had in her
keeping for their son Henry. There is no motto on the im-
pressionSy but the motto belonging to the similar Cuyler arms
in Holland is:

" Ik vertrouwt op Gott niet op Pyien."
(I trust in God not in arrows.)

In all probability the original bearer of this name was an
arbalister or crossbowman, and in course of time he or his
descendants, being empowered or assuming the right to bear
arms, placed upon their shield a quarrel or cross-bow bolt (keil in
old German). The bolt or short arrow shot from the arbalist or
cross-bow (as distinguished from the shaft or long arrow shot
from the long bow) was in general use throughout Europe during
the middle ages, and is first mentioned in a manuscript of the
nth century. The name Cuyler, Keiler or Keyler, as it was
spelled in 153a, may be considered as equivalent to our English
surname Archer or Bowman.

Blazoning of the seal on the will:

The shield bears a bolt or quarrel in pale with the point
upwards between the letters H. C. The crest is three quarrels,
the centre in pale, the two others pilewise all points upward on a

vn

helmet barred affront^. There is a mantling of the debased 17th
century type.

Blazoning of the Coat-of-Arms of Cuylaert of Amsterdam:

*'De sinople k une flfeche d'or, posee en bande." (Rietstap^
vol. i, p. 499.)

Blazoning of the Coat-ofArms of Cuyler^ Hertfordshire^ tie de
St, Dominique. {Baronet 29th October^ 1814):

February 27, 1387, City of Koevorden Province of Drenthe,
Holland: '' Coj^lert, one of the six warriors of Hermanne Stael."

about some clothing and one more silver spoon still in Marrien
Isebrants' possession. "The goods of Reynier and his sister hav-
ing been divided, the guardians consent that Marrien Isebrants,
the mother, shall have the rents till Reynier is of age, but she
must support him till then." (He was about 18.) This inventory
was signed March 34, 1597, before the Aldermen Willem Egbers
and Harmen Gheryts. March 11, 1600, Jan Adriensz ten Oever
proposes to audit the accounts of this inventory as soon as Ise-
brant Reyners shall return from Amsterdam. (Reyner is now of
age.) This Isebrant Reyners could have been a first cousin of
Reyner Koylerts, the son of his mother's brother. He could not
have been an uncle as he would then have been called Isebrant
Isebrants; nor the grandfather Ysebrant Reyniers, as the latter
died about 1578, at the time of, or shortly after Reyner Koilert's
birth. (Vol. 3202, folio 23.) July 2, 1604, testimony of Lysbet

also called Reyner's "aunt." She might have been the wife of
one of his mother's brothers or of his deceased uncle, Engbert
Koilert, before she married Koopman; or she could have been
Claesien Jans, a daughter of Jan Claes van Marckell, possibly sis-
ter of Reynier's aunt, Grieten Jans van Marckell and called
"aunt" by courtesy. (She was not a Cuyler or an Isebrant.) The

42. Hendrick Cuyler born in Hasselt, emigrated to America.
He was a tailor by trade. He married about 1660, Anna Schep-
moes. Riker's Harlem (1904), p. 364, says: "Hendrik Cuyler
married Anna Schepmoes at New Amsterdam and about 1664
went to Albany, where he acquired property. He eventually re-
turned to New York, and with his wife united with the church by
letter, November 29, 1688. He died soon after, in 1690." In 1664,
he bought a lot of land on the east side of North Pearl Street,
Albany, near State Street. In 1669 he was in New York, for he
stood sponsor with Lysbeth Pieters, his wife's aunt, in that year
for the child of Hendrick Aertzen and Aeltie Claes. (D. C. B.

* Tailor.

t Between the years 1637 and 1648 the baptismal register was lost. At the
time of his marriage Reynier deposed that he was 25 years of age. He was
therefore born in 1642.

Vol. I, p. 95.) In 1675 he made his brother, Reynier Cuyler,
''cnoopemaecker tot Amsterdam" (button maker of Amsterdam)
his attorney to receive certain property of Pieter Nicholas
Gouvemeur, then residing in Amsterdam, Holland. In 1677
Hendrick Cnyler and his wife were in Amsterdam, Holland,
where on November 4, they stood sponsors for the child of
his brother, Reynier Cnyler, and Petronella Wouters, his wife.
In 1680 he owned a lot on the south side of State Street,
''near ye fort," in Albany, which after his death passed into
the possession of his son-in-law, Peter van Brugh. The latter
applied for permission to build a home upon the said land.
On January 2, 1680, in Albany, Nicholas de Meyer made a
contract as agent for Hendrick Cuyler of Albany, with Jan
Nagel Jan Dyckman, Arent Bussing, Adolph Meyer and Jan
Delamater to "hew timber for Hendrick Cuyler's house, to be de-
livered in the ensuing May; part to be delivered at the water side
and part in New York at the Burgher's Path for which they were
to receive 1300 guilders and J4 ancker of rum, to wit }i in silver
money or sewant, }i in good winter wheat, and yi in goods at
such price as he (de Meyer) sells at his store for currant sewant."
It would seem from this that he built his house in New York and
brought the timber down the Hudson. In 1683 he and his
wife were members of the church of Jesus Christ, Albany, N. Y.
On October 14, 1685, he was commissioned Lieutenant of a Foot
Company for the county of Albany, of which John Wendall was
Captain. On October 20, 1685, he was commissioned a Justice
for the town and county of Albany. On August 16, 1686, he was
licensed to purchase a certain piece of land called Adorguta, near
to Clausgrowen hook, in the neighborhood of Schenectady, con-
taining about 30 acres of lowland and 50 acres of upland. On
September i, 1686, he petitioned for a license to purchase a piece
of land near Schenectady. A patent for land above Schenectady
was granted to him on March 30, 1687. License to purchase land
of the Indians at Long Reach, below Bsopus, was granted May
4, 1687. He was commissioned Major of all the Foot Companies
in the city and county of New York on December 16, 1689, at the
time of the French and Indian War. Documents Relating to the
Colonial History of New York^ Vol. 3, has the following mentions
of Hendrick Cuyler: Alderman of Albany 1687; Lieut, of Capt.
DePeyster's company; complains of Capt. Nicholson in 1689; de-

14 The Earliest Cuylers in Holland and America

livers Ft. James to the Leislerians 1689; Captain of the Fort 1689;
his affidavit transmitted to England 1689; substance of his affida-
vit; mentioned as Major in 1689; one of Leisler's Council 1689;
drags Mr. Tudor to the Fort.

His will in low Dutch in his own handwriting is dated March
21, 1690. It was translated by Abraham Gouvemeur September 7,
1690. His wife took out Letters of Administration on it Novem-
ber 17, 1690. It was witnessed by Capt. Gerrit Duyckinck and
Ensign Pieter de Mill. He named his children in the order given
below; directs that "his seal, his gold ring and one silver spoon
shall be given to his youngest son Henry/' that the underaged
children shall be taught to read and write; and he appoints as
guardians to his children his brothers-in-law, John van Giesen,
Johannes de Wandelaer and Gerrit Hardenberg. He was dead
on May i, 1690, for on that date his widow Anna appeared in
Albany in a law suit. His will is filed in the Surrogate's
Office, City and County of New York. Liber 14 A, p. 124.

Annetje Schepmoes, his wife, was baptised in the New York
Dutch Church February 16, 1642, witnesses: Marjrn Andriaeszen,
Lysbeth Thys. She was the daughter of Jan Janse Schepmoes
and Sarah Pieters. The Register of BetrothtnentSy Archives of
Amsterdam has the following: "December 27, 163 1, appeared
(before the the commissaries of the marriage matters) Jan Jansz
Schepmoes of Delft, seafaring man, 26 years of age, orphan,
residing in the Brouwerstraat and Saara Pieters of Hoorn, 22 years
of age, orphan, living in the Moriaansteegje, assisted by her
sister Lysbeth Pieters. Requesting their three proclamations
in the church," etc. On May 18, 1643, a grant of land was made
by the West India Co. to Jan Janse Schepmoes; it was near Fort
Amsterdam. When Sara Pieters remarried she mortgaged this
land and the house on it, describing it as: *'The house and lot
at New Amsterdam, south of Fort Amsterdam, in the Parel
straat, occupied by Jacob Strycker." She also set aside 800
carolas guilders for her children, 100 guilders for each child.
Jan Janse Schepmoes died in New Amsterdam in January,
1656, and on October 7th of the same year his widow married
Willem Cook, at which time Pieter Cornelius Van Veen and
Isaac Greveraat were appointed guardians of her children as
follows — Anna, Abraham, Aeltje, Dirck, Orseltie, Sara, Jaepie
and Willem.

Bardin of Villeneuve in Agenois de Guyenne, had Isaac, a Hugue-
not refugee in England, who married Esther Guillemetton,
daughter of Estienne Guillemetton of Charente, and Jeanne
Goyon. Their son Jdrdmie was baptized at the French Church

She is said to have been a very extraordinary woman, a gresit
beauty and finely educated and accomplished for those days.
She was a talented musician and spoke several languages. A
family tradition describes her as tall with a white skin and dark
eyes, hair that touched her knees, small hands and feet, an im-
perious temper, great vivacity and a keen wit. She was a friend
of Lafayette and some of his visiting cards, his letters and
presents to her are still preserved by the family. In local history
she was known as *^the patriotic Mrs. Cuyler of Georgia," and
her name has been compared to Nancy Hart's. Meetings were
held by the patriots at the Cuyler house on the comer of Bull
and Broughton streets in Savannah, and at one of these the
resolution was passed which afterward formed the basis of the
action of the Provincial Congress in declaring Georgia's ad-
herence to the revolting colonies and her purpose to join with
them in armed resistance to the authority of the English crown.
At the fall of Savannah Jeanne Cuyler was taken to Charleston
under an escort of Continental troops, as Sir James Wright, the
English Governor, had offered a reward for her capture and
delivery to the British authorities, and after Charleston had
surrendered the Commissary General caused her to be trans-
ported to Philadelphia, where her expenses were paid by the
Commonwealth of Georgia in recognition of her valuable services
to the patriots' cause. She lived to an old age in the family of
her brother-in-law, Henry Cuyler, Jr., in or near Amboy, New
Jersey, and died in September, 1799, and was bur. ''Sept. 22 or
23" in the Middle Dutch Church, N. Y. City. Children:

The portraits of Col. Abraham Cuyler and his wife are now
in the possession of Jacob Glen Cuyler of South Africa. On the
back of the portraits is an inscription written by his son Jacob
Glen Cuyler, which is as follows:

88 Thb Earliest Cuylbrs in Holland and America

''The portraits within this frame of the late Col. Abraham
Cuyler, formerly Mayor of the City of Albany, Province of
New York, N. America, and Mrs. Cuyler, were sketched by the
unfortunate Major John Andr^ in 1776, at the time a prisoner
at Albany to the Americans. Col. Cuyler was shortly after, for
his attachment to and support of the British against the American
cause, made prisoner and sent to Hartford in Connecticut—
whence he made his escape and Joined the British Army under
the Command of Sir W. Howe at New York; when he was
declared an outlaw and his property confiscated and sold by
the Americans.

When Greneral Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga, 30 miles
above Albany, in Oct., 1777, Mrs. Cuyler and her four children,
of whom the writer was the youngest and an infant in his
mother's arms, proceeded in an open boat down the Hudson
River, 160 miles to New York to join her husband.

The subsequent fate of the hapless Andr^-is but too well
known. These pictures were at the time of Mrs. Cuyler's flight
from Albany left with her elder brother, Mr. John Glen of
Schenectady, where they remained till his death some 40 years
after — ^when Mrs. E. Holt came into possession of them and sent
them to her brother at the Cape of Good Hope.

queathed to him and his brother Barent R. the ** Cuyler Sugar
House " which stood on the comer of Rose and Duane streets,
N. Y. City, and which was erected in 1763. It has been stated
that the Cuyler Sugar House was used by the British soldiers as
a prison during the Revolutionary War, but proof of this state-
ment is lacking.

On June 10, 1773, Rivington's New York Gazetteer printed the

following:

''Advertisement

Double Refin'd ) Middling )

Single, ditto Jand LumpP^^^^

Muscovado in Barrels, and Molasses as usual. To be sold by

Henry Cuyler, at his Store in the Square, which intends re-

moving the first of May, into the Dwelling House, now oc-
cupied by Remsen and Seabury, in Dock-Street, and nearly
opposite the Dwelling- House, late the Property of his Father."

At the outbreak of the Revolution Henry Cuyler was a
Loyalist and removed to New Jersey where in July, 1776, he
was ordered to remove from his house in Newark, ' but in
consideration of his serious sickness,' the Provincial Congress
directed him to give bond with security in ;^iooo for the faith-
ful observance of his parole. He never recovered from this
sickness, for he left a will dated July 17, 1776, at Newark, which
was proved Aug. 28, 1777, at New York. This will was found
among the unrecorded wills in the N. Y. Surrogate's Ofl&ce, and
an abstract is published in the Collections of the N. Y. Historical
Society for 1902, page 197. After the Revolution his property
was confiscated.

On July 24, 1780, Gaine's Mercury contained the following:

"To be sold a public vendue, on Monday, the 14*** day of
August next,

The Sugar House,

With all the utensils and out houses, belonging to the estate of
the late Henry Cuyler, deceased, situate in the north ward of
this city. An inventory of the utensils to be seen at H. Gaine's."

On Aug. 14, 1780, the Mercury had the following:

"The Sale of Mr. Cuyler's Sugar House, is postponed until
Thursday, the 17*** inst., when the Vendue will begin at XI o'clock
in the Morning on the premises.

• . • The Creditors of Henry Cuyler the Elder and younger,
are requested to meet at IX o'clock To-morrow Morning at the
Coffee-house."

Later the Sugar House became the property of the Rhine-
landers. It was taken down in 1892.

Margaret Elizabeth Clarendon was his only child and an
heiress for her day, known as " Pretty Peggy Clarendon." She
was a toast in fact in her native town on account of her beauty
and her portrait is still extant.

On May i, 1782, Smith Clarendon conveyed to Henry Keall
and William Stephens, trustees for Margaret Clarendon, his
wife, two lots in Savannah, Ga., for life, then to Margaret Eliza-
beth, their daughter. In 1784 Smith Clarendon is called Inn-
keeper of Savannah in a suit brought by John McKenzie against
Smith Clarendon over an order drawn by one John Davies and
accepted for payment by Smith Clarendon. Clarendon's name
was on the bill of attainder though subsequently erased. Mar-
gherita Meek Clarendon was buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery.
