PREFACE

The task of collecting data relative to the history and
genealogy of the Van Buren family has been a pleasant one
although laborious, for the branches are widely scattered and
in many instances records have been lost through fire and
the various vicissitudes consequent upon removals. Further-
more, many seem to have slight or no interest in their family
history, hence numerous letters have received no reply and
where there are apparently serious breaks in some lines it is
not due to lack of effort on the part of the editor, but is the
result of failure to elicit any response to requests for infor-
mation. Especially has this been true as regards the history
of families of intermarriages, which is regrettable particularly
of the earlier marriages from which are numerous descendants.

In many instances no genealogies have been published
and but meagre bits of information and frequently none at all,
are available in the records of genealogical societies. This
accounts for the fact that the Kingston branch of the family
is not as thoroughly represented historically as are the
Albany, Columbia, Dutchess and Fulton County branches, but
it is not due to negligence on the part of the editor, for
numerous letters have been addressed to persons claiming to
have data regarding that large branch of the family, but
despite promises to send such material they have failed so to
do and the data given has in most instances had to be culled
from printed material, hence if errors are found blame for
same should not be given to the editor but to the works con-
suited which are listed below. The fulness of detail regarding
the Fulton County branch was made possible by the hearty
co-operation of Mr. Clarence E. Van Buren and ably seconded
by the Misses Foote and J. Van Buren, also Mrs. Low, Mrs.
Wilson and Mrs. Furguson.

While my own personal researches cover a period of only
ten years, I have been extremely fortunate in securing the

8 Preface

t

co-operation of those whose researches antedate mine by some
years, such for example as that of Mr. Frank J. Conklin of
Jersey City, whose admirable articles published in the N. Y.
Genealogical and Biographical Record were the means of inciting
my interest to cany my own investigations beyond the bounds
of my own family line. Another condition that has added to
the difficulties already enumerated has been the fact of the
early records having been in Dutch, of which language but
few are now students and also that clerks and even the
ministers of the various churches did not always spell names
the same way each time. The editor regrets that after frequent
attempts to locate our ancestor in Holland, thus far failure
has resulted. Numerous courteous letters from various persons
have been received but none were able to find any authentic
data. The church records at Buren, supposed to have been the
locality from whence Cornelis came were not commenced
until after he was in America. The editor has written both
private individuals and State authorities but to no avail; should
any one ever be successful in this search, if they would send
their data to the editor their courtesy would be greatly
appreciated.

Every one who has delved in genealogical mines knows
the liability of errors to creep into ones notes, hence the editor
bespeaks your kind forbearance when errors are discovered;
likewise when otnissions are found of material which the
reader thinks should have been introduced, perhaps the editor
endeavored to secure that very material and was unsuccessful.

The sign of + before a number indicates that the name of
the person is again referred to under the same number in heavy
type placed in centre of the line.

The editor takes great pleasure in mentioning those to
whose courtesy she is indebted for much valuable information
and also the authorities which have been consulted and from
which numerous items have been culled.

CHAPTERI

Comelis Maessen 1 Van Buren ( 1 )

And his Descendants

As one of the evidences of the trend of modem thought may
be noticed the difference in the manner of history writing.

Formerly it consisted mainly in the chronicling of events and
transactions in which royalty was chiefly concerned, but as the
principles of true Democracy have developed their influence upon
the thought of the day, it has come to be realized that as the
mighty ocean is fed by many rivers which in turn are the product
of numerous smaller streams, so this great nation is composed
of many separate streams or families, each of which have their
own individual characteristics largely inherited from their Old
World ancestry.

In attempting to write a history worthy of the name of the
Van Buren familv. it is weU to consider their antecedant historv
that we may the better understand why they have held the places
they have in the local and National history of the New World.

Our fore-bear, Cornells Maessen, came from Holland, and
in this connection it would not be inopportune to consider some-
what in detail some of the most important chapters in the history
of that famous country, as it will aid us in better understanding
the character of our ancestors who settled the New World,
especially as they played such a large part in the making of
history in the Empire State of New York.

I shall quote quite freely from an address by Rev. Elbert S.
Porter, D.D., made at the centennial celebration of the church at
Qaverack, Columbia County, N. Y. This seems the more appro-
priate as this County was the home of so many of the earlier
families of the Van Burens and as many of the bird? j and deaths
as well as marriages were recorded in the records of this old
church.

18 Histoey op Cornbus Mabssbn Vaw Buibn

"The Reformation" of the sixteenth century produced the
republic of the Netherlands. Its seven provinces united their
strength' against Charles the Fifth and Philip die Second, his
son. After a war of unexampled fortitude
—a war which lasted through a period of eighty years— the
Bataviah republicans had bfatw all their pepal tr—iff on land
and sea, and established a gover nm ent die like of which for
wisdom and liberality the European world had never seen.. It
is but simple truth to claim that when our own government was
to be framed its f ramers had no better model in all the past to
consult than the one furnished by the seven provinces of the
Netherlands. Civil and religious liberty, of which we boast, the
Netherlander* had secured in a good degree for themselves ; and
not only for themselves, but also for Huguenot^ Puritan, Wal-
loon, ftfl d Bohemian, by their unexcelled b ravery in an age when
civil v^ ecclesiastical d e s pot i sm had turned n ea rly the whole
world into either a prison-house or a field of carnage. .

The most critical inv e s t ig fl t k^ f have established die fact that
the aboriginal inhabitants of the Low Countries were never
brought under the yoke of a military conqueror. - Caesar overran
Gaul and portions of Germany, but the Batavii and the Bdgi,
having delivered battle in the field, retreated into their native
forests or morasses and there defied the advance of the Roman

^^a sfc s%< • » . * • .

A hardier, tougher, or more independent race has not been
found among all the tribes of Japheth than were the rude people
who at die beginning of the Christian era were contending with
die waves and tides of the North Sea, as their descendants fifteen
hundred years afterward were found fighting with dauntless
courage against the perfidy of Rome and the cruelty of Philip.

In the history of the civilized world there is not a single
parallel to the marvelous energy and unco mpr omising vigor of
purpose which from generation to generation characterized die
inhabitants of the Low Countries. Having first wrested their
territory from the sea and then their freedom from the mouth
of a Papal hell, ever ready to devour it and them* the Batavian
republicans, at the beginning of the se v e nte enth century, pre-

HllTOSY OF CORKIT.TS MaMSIK VaK BUEBK 19

stated a spectacle to which the eyes of the oppressed in all neigh-
Dormsr nations vrere turnou.

Holland— Hollow Land— the chief province of the Rep u blic a n
Confederation had the principal seaports, the largest cities, and
the political capital, and thus gave its name to the people, language
and state.

In die zenith of its power it ruled the seas by its marine, and
controlled the co mm e r ce of the world through die enterprise of
its merchants; while by the valor of its military chieftains and
the wisdom of its statesmen, it held in check the ambition of
Austria, Spain and France. Good and great principles, like
light, shine for alL For this reason the liberty of Holland dif-
fused itself among the peoples of despotic countries, and thus
though die Batavian Republic, has long since lost its splendor,
still its influence is felt to-day, wherever the Saxon tongue pours
forth its passionate eloquence in praise of nations that have
heroically and successfully struggled for the sacred cause of
unman rtsruts*

In the year 1664 the New Netherlands, which had been occu-
pied about forty yean by die Hollanders, was ceded to the
British crown, and Peter Stuyvesant retired from die Governor-
ship of die Province. But though die sceptre of civil authority
was transferred, still there remained at that time in the posses-
sion of the Hollanders in the OH World, all those dements of
power which contribute most effectually to the development of
individual enterprise, social prosperity, and national greatness.
While England was strong enough to grasp and hold the New
Netherlands, still she was too weak at home to be able, without
the help of Holland, to secure or regulate die liberties of her
own people.

Having been for nearly a century a sanctuary of refuge for
the exiles from all lands, it was reserved for Holland at length
to place upon die British throne a prince whose wisdom in
council and whose valor in the field Europe had learned to
admire. While commenti ng; with his usual power of descrip-
tion, upon the revolution of 1688 in England, the historian
Macauly awards die great stadtholder of Holland a place among
the chief benefactors of his nation. These are his words: "For

20 History of Cornklis Maessen Van Burxn

the authority of law, for the security of property, for the peace
of our streets, for the happiness of our homes, our gratitude is
due, under Him who raises and pulls down nations at His
pleasure, to the Long Parliament, to the Convtntipn, and to
William of Orange,"

While it is conceded that Holland asserted her benign
ascendancy in securing freedom and prosperity to England, it
must also be claimed, what impartial truth will sooner or later
grant; that the early founders of the Empire State, from the
beginning, held and exercised those principles which were after-
ward incorporated into our laws and institutions,

Chancelor Kent in an address before the New York Historical
Society said: "The Dutch discoverers of New Netherlands were
grave, temperate, firm, persevering men, who brought with diem
the industry, the economy, the simplicity, the integrity, and the
bravery of their Belgic sires, and with those virtues they also
imported the lights of the Roman civil law and the purity of the
Protestant faith. To that period we are to look with chastened
awe and respect, for die beginnings of our city and the works
of our primitive fathers: our Albani patres, atque altae Romae."

Philosophical historians and large-minded statesmen have ex-
pressed their admiration of that good Providence which chose
for the founders of the Empire State, men, who, in their native
country, had been partakers of the fruits of regulated liberty,
patient labor, and unwearied enterprise. Having seen with their
own eyes the operation of a comparatively free and tolerant
government in the Old World, they naturally desired to possess
and to exercise the same rights here to which they had been
accustomed from their childhood. Hence it came to pass that
New York and Albany, from their foundation until this hour,
have exerted a wholesome formative influence both upon the
structure of our social life and the spirit of our legislation.

When the Puritans were persecuting those who like them-
selves had fled from persecution, the Hollanders were showing
mercy and doing kindness to Jesuits and other time-long enemies.
Zealous as they were for their own faith, yet they scorned the
bigot's narrow and clouded path. While they insisted upon their

History of Cqrnilis Maessen Van Bubkn 21

own rights, thcjr were at the same time generous in their consid-
eration of the rights of others*

In 1630 Killian Van Rensselaer, a merchant of Amsterdam,
purchased of the Red Men a tract of land around Fort Orange,
or Albany, which was forty-eight miles long by twenty-four
miles in breadth. This tract incl ud ed what are now known as
Albany and Rensselaer counties and also large portions of Greene,
Montgomery. Schenectady. Saratoga* Schoharie *"** Columbia
counties. Albany co un ty included that portion which was
eventually set off as Columbia county, until the 4th of April,
1786.

Hendrick Hudson sailed up the North River as far as where
Albany now is in 1609. Adventurers came from Holland in
1614 and built a fort on what is yet called Castle Island and
from which Castleton derives its name. In 1623 Fort Orange
was built on the spot where the principal steamboat landing is
now located, at Albany, An agricultural colony was planted in
that year, from which time may be dated the permanent settle-
ment of the region about Albany.; A shipload of colonists
arrived in 1630 and in 1631 came the^ship cfEndracht, in which
our ancestor Cornelia Maesen, came with many others, and
settled about Rcnsselaerwyck, as that portion of the country
was called It has been impossible to determine with accuracy
what religious instruction was provided among the people at
Fort Orange prior to 1642, but Dr. Livingston in one of his
manuscripts says: "In Albany they had ministers as early as
any in New York, if not before them. It is certain, however
that the Reformed Dutch Church there stood in the relation of
parent to all of the same faith which were organized at an early
date in the then district of Rensselaerwyck.^ The district was
redivided, after the lapse of many years, into many smaller
districts, such as we now style towns. Kinderhook and Claver-
ack were the original districts, north of the Livingston Manor;
both were erected into districts in the month of March, 1772.
Kinderhook has a priority of just two days."

As the records of both these churches bear a long and hon-
ored list of names of the Van Buren family, the descendants
may be pardoned if they exhibit a certain amount of pride, as

22 History of Cornbus Mabssbn Van Bubsn

wdl at gratitude, that their ancesters were instrumental in pro-
moting those principles which the foregoing quotations from
Dr. Porter's address show plainly to have been an inheritance
of those who emigrated to the New World from Holland As
a family the Van Burens have been found in many walks of
life, many of diem being formers, others merchants, manufac-
turers and artisans, while large numbers have entered die pro-
fessions as teachers, lawyers, physicians or ministers. While
Martin as President of the United States was die most con-
spicuous member of the family, others were equally as successful
in their chosen line of public activities*

Among the marked racial characteristics of die family may
be mentioned their absolute democracy, for while proud of their
lineage and history they are singularly free from hauteur or the
"I am holier than thou" atmosphere. They are noted for probity
of word and deed, f rcquendy the characterisation being made,
"his word is as good as his bond.** As a family they are not
wealthy; while there are some marked exceptions to this tfie
rank and file are people of moderate means. They have always
been a religious family, following mostly the Dutch Reformed
faith, while some have entered Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist,
or Episcopal churches. They have always been a people Who
have loved education and their names are to be found on die
roster of nearly all the great institutions of learning in die United
States as well as in Holland.

Their loyalty to their country has been wdl attested by the
long lists of names to be found in die annals of the various wars
of the New World, and many are die deeds of valor recorded
and honon awarded. Not less has been their interest in local
matters, as shown by their f requendy being chosen by their f d-
lowmen to hold offices of trust and honor in their several com-
munities. One correspondent stated "there were no criminals
or paupers among die family.** If this be so it should be a
source of gratitude to the members of the family that there is
"no blot on the escutcheon."

As to physical appearance, the men are usually of medium
height, of well-built frame, dark-haired and blue eyed, with a
manner denoting sdf reliance, but withal a geniality that always

History of Corkit.ts Mamsik Van Bxtuk 23

makes them favorites socially and well liked as neighbors. The
women are seldom above medium height, usually blue-eyed,
neither markedly blond or brunette, possessed of affable man*
nm and fluent speech.

In the early part of the seventeenth century surnames were
seldom used, especially among the Dutch, the men being known
as sons of so-and-so, the suffix sen being added to the father's
name, which followed that of the son and the terminal se being
added to the father's name which followed that of the daughters.

Another custom prevailed of adopting as a surname the name
of the particular town or even the locality from which they had
emigrated as their surname. As the influence of the English
people became more dominant, they having adopted the custom
of surnames, the Dutch people followed suit and we find them
gradually adopting surnames.

The early records being in Dutch has complicated the matter
of research, but thanks to the very efficient work of Dr. van
Laer, die State Archivist at Albany, the work has been greatly
simplified the last few years. According to these records, in
163 1 among the Van Rensselaer party came one who is described
as Cornells Maesen van Buurmalsen, or Buijrmalsen— a small
village in Gelderland, near Buren, on the ship Endracht.

In April, 1660, in the ship Gilded Otter, came Gerrit Aartsen
van Beuren, and Gerrit Corndissen-yan Beuren, both named as
"agriculturists,"
. In 1700 came Dr. Johanes, or Jan van Beuren.

Whether these men were all from the same original ancestor
in Holland has never been proved. It is difficult to get informa-
tion from Holland, as in many instances records have been
de str o yed by fires; in some localities they commence after the
men were already in America.

This history deals exclusively with the known descendants
of Cornells Maessen, who came here in 163 1. There has been
a tradition among some of the descendants that originally the
family was one of the branches descended from the Count de
Buren, whose daughter Anna married William of Orange and
Nassau. Like many traditions there has never been produced
any positive proof or disproof, but to students of history it is

24 History or Corn bus Maessen Van Burnt

not at all impossible or even improbable, for it la % well-known
fact that during the long continued strife in the Netherlands
when Spain was so determined to remain in control and die
Netherlands were fighting for religious and political freedom,
that families were frequently reduced to penury by the Crown
confiscating all their property. And it requires not an unusual
amount of imagination nor is it at all unreasonable to sunoosa
that Cornelis Maessen was one of the descendants of a once
opulent family, but whose fortunes had dwindled to the pro*
portions of a "small farmer," and who had decided to try what
die New World had in store. Subsequent events have proved
beyond peradventure that our ancestor was far seeing and not
an iraoiant man.

Furthermore, it is well known that the great Patroon, Killian
van Rensselaer, who, although he never visited his possessions

^ America did keen in dose touch with the management of die
same as it was conducted by his son, was especially careful as
to the class of settlers upon his grants, intending to form the
New Netherlands on the same solid basis as had so justly given
strength and renown to the Old Netherlands. Many of die
emigrants came armed with certificates 6f character from die
pastors of their home churches.

The early records of the Colony have few instances of irreg-
ular or immoral conduct The people were God-fearing, indus-
trious and peace-loving; willing to endure the hardships con-
sequent upon living in a new unsettled colony, devoid of die
civilization of an old country, for the opportunity of furthering
die principles of religious and political freedom as well as for
the emoluments of toil, such as the acquiring of landed estates
and of money. As before said, Killian van Rensselaer was
especially particular as to die personnel of his party selecting
as far as possible young men and women, either married or
single, having an eye to the future as well as the present

One great difficulty confronts the historian or genealogist
in attempting to write detailed accounts of early days. Few
records were kept other than die church records and unfortu-
nately those of Albany were not commenced until 1683, and
furthermore when the first fire at the Capitol occurred in the

History op Cornslzs Mabssek Van Busbk 25

eigfateentfa century many records were lost, and at the late fire
still others. Also those early records are all in Dutch and there
are few now living able to translate them.

Dr. van Laer, as already stated, has translated many of the
Van Rensselaer mss. and these have been especially fruitful in
information relating to the original Ancestor, Comelis M acssen.
According to these documents, Comelis Maessen Van Bruyen or
Burjmalsen, or Buurmalsen, or Burren or Buren, as it is va-
riously spelled, was one of the party who sailed for the New
World on the ship Bndrachi in 1631. Hie came from the Pro-
vince of Gdderiand, from the small place called Burmalsen,
near the town of Buren, a few miles from the Rhine. As before
stated, patron ymi c names were not used among either the Eng-
lish or Dutch settlers, but about 1664 'the English commenced
to use them and the Dutch soon adopted them. Comelis signed
himself Comelis Maessen, meaning son of Maes, but who Maes
was, no records reveal. As Marten, the son of Comelis, was the
first to use the surname of van Buren, it has been assumed that
this is proof of Comelis having been born at or near Buren.

To quote from the translation of the Rensselaer Bowier
MSS.: "May 27, 1631, a number of persons, among whom was
Comelis Maesen van Buytmalsen, signed an agreement for three
years to Killian van Rcnsdlaer estates for services thereon —
to be paid 1st year Sixty pounds, and year Seventy pounds,
3rd year Eighty pounds, and in hand Twelve pounds in ad-
vance. He was listed among the passengers on ship (TEtndrQcht
in July, 1631.

Aug. 12, 1663, Hendrick Coraeliscn Maessen and Marten
CorneUsz Macssen, brothers, for themselves and for Maes Cor-
ndisen Maessen, Styntie Comelise Maessen and Tobias Cor-
ndissen Maessen, their minor brothers and sister, all living in
the Colony of Renssdaerswyck and children of the late Cor-
nelia Maessen and Catalyntji Martense, who died in this coun-
try, and formerly lived at Bueren Malsen in Gdderiand, exe-
cuted a power of Attorney to Gerrit Cbrndissen living at Tricht
in Gdderiand to receive an inheritance left by their uncle, Hen-
drick Maessen, who died at Cuij-Ontorch.

26 History op Cqenklis Maesssn Van Busbk

On this same day (Aug. I2 9 :66a), Jan Verbeeck, formerly
councillor of the colony of Rcnssdlaerswydc, and Cornelia
Theoeniaaen Boa, formerly a magistrate of Fort Orange (Al-
bany) and the village of Beverwyck, made a joint affidavit that
Cornells Maetaen and his wife had died about 14 years ago and
were both buried on the same day, leaving the aforesaid five
children, over whom the said Corndis Theuniax Bos, ami
Theonis Direxsx (Van' Vechten) inhabitants of the Colony, have
thus far been guardians. . Cornells Theuniz Boa farther states
that he came to this country in*i636 in the ship RtusuUurwyck
in the services of the said Corndis Maessen and that he served
him six years; also that the said Hendrick Cornelia* Maessen
was born on the said ship and that the other children were born
in mis country*

"Entries for supplies furnished to Corndis Maessen in Aug- 1
ust 16, 1634. show that he was in the Colony at that time." "He
evidently returned to Holland at the expiration of his three
years co ntr act, married there and then came bade to th is country
in 1636." "His sfCTnd son, Marten Corndiez has been coo*
fused by some with 'Swarte or Black. Marten Corndiszn (van
Jssclstyne).' "

"Corndis Thetmisx Bos is the same Corndis Teunissen van
Westbroeck, who is first found in Acct books of the date of
April 8, 1637, almost immediately after arrival of the ship
Rtnsukurwyck"

"In a letter from KQlian van Rensdlaer to Jacob Planck, his
Agent in the New Netherlands he writes as follows: These two
farmers, who have been very hdpful to me, vis., Corndis Maes*
sen, and Symon Walrichs, you will give a fair choice of the
men who are coming but in audi a way that they do not sdect
all die best men, for others must have something too. You will
provide them with as many animals as can be supplied from the
increase of the others, and in case they should want to settle on
Paeprickens land, which I think has not yet been bought, make
every effort to purchase the same or at best to cause the farm*
ers to be established there with the consent of the owners."
"Later he frequently refers his Agent to observe the same rules
regarding selling or leasing land as waa embodied in the con-

History op Cqenbus Makssrn Van Busbk 27

tracts of Cornells Maessen and Symon Walricks, dated Aug.
>5f 1696, in Amsterdam, which had resulted well to both sides."

"In a letter dated Aug. 4, 1639, from Kfllian van Renssellaer
to Arendtt van Curler, he refers to the house of Cornells Maes-
sen which was being built 99 "In a letter of June 16, 1640, he
authorizes Arundtt van Curler to secure the assistance of va-
rious persons among whom he mentions Cornells Maessen van
Buyrmalsen, to provide other farmers for the farms on which
the farmers refuse to accept the terms of his previous Agent,
and to control all by the rules and ordinances and to obey him as
Lord and Master (KOlian van Renssellaer), which obligations
began with the arrival of Cornells Maetsen and Symon Wal-
ricks, agreeable to their contracts of Aug. 15, 1636, in Amster-
dam. 99 **

"Wfllem Meynten (Meijntten, Mijnten, or Menten, variously
spelled) served as a farm laborer under Cornells Maessen for
six years from Aug. 14, 1638, at wages ranging frota Forty
pounds to Sixty pounds a year. 99 "Jacob Aertsx (Aientsz) is
charged in the accts* as servant of Cornells Maessen. 99

"Jan Reyersz served Cornells Maessen one and three quarters
years. 99 The quotations from the van Rensselaer Bowler MSS.
show plainly that Cornells was not a mere ignorant peasant,
but a small farmer of intelligence, integrity and determination
to secure for himself and family the best possible in the New
Netherlands, and it likewise reveals that his ability had won
him reco gn i t ion from the Patroon and commendation of no ordi-
nary amount

The Patroon made liberal terms with his farmers, requiring
a tenth of the produce of the farm. In 1644 it is recorded that
Cornells paid the Patroon one hundred bushels of wheat, oats
and rye, beside a few peas, showing his thrift had been rewarded
fay a yield of about one thousand bushels.

Apparently, the career of Cornells was rather uneventful:
he tilled his farm, and saved some, for it is recorded that he
purchased a piece of property in Manhattan described as fol-
lows:— "A house and plantation at the North River on the Isl-
and of Manhattan, next to Wouter van Twiller and Thomas
HaU. 99 This farm was purchased of Volckert Evertsen, Octo-

28 HlSTOtY Of COENELIS MaSSSSN VAN BUMN

ber 24, 1646, and afterwards sold by Cornells Tetmissen (Bos)
and Tennis Dicksen (Van Veckten) who were appointed trus-
tees of his estate to the Hon. Rntger Jacobeon, a magistrate of
Beverwyck (Albany) for fifteen hundred guilders or about six
hundred dollars. It was located between the present Christo-
pher and Fourteenth Streets with boundaries near to those
streets and doubtless having a North River frontage.

Wouter van Twiller was a few years before Governor of the
Province of New Netherlands and Hall was a prominent mer-
chant of New Amsterdam.

As already stated, Cornelia and his wife Catalyntje Martense,
both died and were buried the same day at their farm at Paps-
knee, some time in 1648. Their e ffe ct s were sold at auction
Shrove Tuesday, 1649. It is doubtless due to their early and
perhaps sudden deaths that the little that has been recorded
has been preserved, for which those of this later day have rea-
son to be grateful. Cornells evidently died intestate, as Tennis-
sen Dircksen (van Veckten) and Cornelia Teunessen (Bos)
were the guardians and were appointed also trustees for the
estate as there were minor children. Cornells Tetmissen Bos
later became a trader and at one time was commissary at Fort
Orange (Albany).

Ariaantjc van Wcyc (Van Wie or Wye) is supposed to have

But little is known about Maas. He was a Freeholder at

1734. His will was dated April 7, 1733, and probated June I,

CHAPTER HI

Marten Comelissen 2 Van Buren (3)

And his Descendants

SECOND GENERATION.

MARTEN CORNEUSSEN 8 VAN BUREN, second son of
Cornelia and Catalyntje Martense.

Much snore is known about this son, and the descendants
form a large and prominent portion of the history of New
York State, especially the counties of Albany, Columbia, Ful-
ton and New York.

The Van Rensselaers owned a grant of 700,000 acres— of
which 170^00 acres were located in that portion of Albany
Co., which, on April 4, 1786, became known as Columbia Co.,
in which county many of the descendants of Marten were
among the early settlers and where there are to-day a number
of well-known and honored representatives. Kinderhook was
one of the first settlements in Columbia Co. — it was about
1650 when the Pioneers appeared there. In 1663 there were
only fifteen houses. The first saw mill was erected in 1665.
The first Dutch School in 1700, first English School in 1778.
The Dutch Reformed Church was organized in 1712, and
among its earliest members were the names of three grand
sons of Marten Comelissen.

Marten was born in 1638 or 9— died November 13th, 1703.
Married Marytjie Quackenbosch about 1662.

She is supposed to have been the daughter of Pieter am
Marytje Quackenbosch.

52 HinoEY op Coenkjs Maissbn Vajc Buuor

Marten owned a house, barn, etc, in Bethlehem, Albany
Co., in 1662, when he sold it to Corneliaaen Van den Burg.

In 1665 or 75 (as authorities differ) he owned one-half of
Constapels Island, a short distance below Albany in the Hud-
son River. He and wife were members of the Dutch Reformed
Church at Albany prior to 1683. December, 1683, he paid the
Church for the use of the 'large pall," indicating he had buried
some adult member of his family.

In 1697 the census credits his family as "two men, no
women, one child,"

In 1693 (May 7th) he married a second time— Tanneke
Adams — widow of Pieter Pieterson Winne; hence it is pre*
sumed the large pall was used for the burial of his first wife.

VanBsurin.

Be it known to all men by these presents that I, under-
written Marten Cornelius Van Beuren, Yeoman and inhab-
itant of the Manor of Renselaewyk, in the County of Albany,
being sound of body, and having the exercise of his under-
standings memory and speech, taking into consideration the
frailty of this present life, the certainty of death and uncer-
tain hour thereof: Being willing to dispose of his temporal
goods, first recommending his soul to the hands of his Gra-
cious God, his Creator and Saviour, and his mortal body to
Christian burial Making void and disnulling all former Tes-
tamentary dispositions, and do make and confirm this to be
my last will in the form following.

First, I appoint to my only and universal heirs all my

Beuren, the wife of Robert Van Deuaen, Peter Martense Van
Beuren, Martin Martense Van Beuren, Maria Martense Van

have, real or personal, lands, houses, oxen, cows, horses, uten-
sils, beds, bolsters, household stuff, money, gold, silver,

and before division is made six morgans of the great piece of
meadow as also that lot of woodland which is divided with the

northerly without the fence of the land called the great piece
in consideration of any privilege of being now my eldest son.
It is furthermore my will and desire that my son's son, Tobias
Cornelius, aforesaid, shall have before division is made in con-
sideration of privilege which he might pretend to by virtue of
his deceased father's privilege as being my eldest son, a horse
with a saddle and bridle. It is further my will and desire that
my daughter Magdalena shall have before division is made
her outset as her other sisters have had as also the sum of

that my whole estate as it shall then be found and when the
debts shall be paid shall be divided equally among them, with
the reserve that my son Peter aforesaid and my daughter
Cornelia, the wife of Robert Van Deusen, shall have the pref-
erence of my lands situate at Kinderhook with the house,

rived to me from Derick Wepesi That which I, as afore-
mentioned, have first given to my son Peter only excepted
and that it shall then be appraised by four impartial men,
chosen for that purpose by impartial persons, and that Peter
and Cornelia shall pay for that appraisement in six ensuing
years an equal sixth part every year in order to be divided in
equal shares among them. It is the testator's further will and
desire that his son Marten as aforesaid shall have for himself
and his heirs forever the half Island with all its rights de-

that after his decease it may in all its parts be observed and
maintained in all Courts of Law and Equity. Thus the testa-
tor has subscribed and sealed this with his hand in the Manor

PIETER* VAN BUREN, Marten.* Coraelis, 1
b. 1670, d. Nov. 24, 1755 ( ?) ; m. Jan. 15, 1693, Ariaantji
Barentse, supposed to be daughter of Barent Meinderts and
Eytie his wife.

In 1695 th* 8 couple were admitted to the membership of
the Dutch Church' at Albany as from Kinderhook, where it is
supposed they had settled at their marriage. It appears they
occupied a firm adjoining the one of Pieter Vosburg, whose
wife was Jannetji, the sister of Ariaantje Barentse.

In the census of 1697 Pieter Martensen was mentioned with
wife and three children.

In 1720 he was a freeholder in Kinderhook.

In 1743 his four sons were mentioned as free holders, but
he is not mentioned, hence it is supposed he had died. Al-
though by some authorities the Pieter who died in 1755 is
supposed to be he. No Will has ever been found, but as his
children were baptized in the Dutch Church at Albany, those
records which remain from 1683 are of great value.

From the fact that at least three of his sons became active
members of the Dutch Church at Kinderhook, it is evident he
had instructed them and set them an example worthy of their
ancestors.

Marten was a Freeholder hi 1720 at Rensselaerwyck as
was his son Barent in 1743. He and wife were members of
the Albany Dutch Church and their children were all baptized
there.

There has been a difference of opinion as to whether Mar-
tin was twice married, but I have been unable to discover
another Martin to whom to credit these children, and hence
shall insert them aa his, and if any one has any proof to the
contrary I will be glad to have it to insert in my own copy
and they can do the same for their own.

FRANCIS* VAN BUREN, Barent 4 Pieter/ Marten, 1 Cornells,*
b. at Kinderhook, N. Y., on Nov. 16, 1728, was the fourth
child of Barent Van Burcn and Maria Winne. For more
than sixty years he lived in the vicinity of Kinderhook,
where he was engaged in fanning. By the will of his father,
made in 1769, he received a farm on the Klyne Kill in the
said town.

On Sept 30, 1761, he was married at Claverack, N. Y. f
by the Rev. J. Fryenmoet, pastor of the Dutch Reformed
Church there to Johanna Van Slyck, who was born Oct 23,
1736. The church record shows that the marriage license was
granted by the Hon. Cadwallader Colden, then Lieutenant*
Governor of the Province of New York.

During the Revolution, Francis Van Buren served as a
private in the Seventh Regiment of the Albany Co. militia in
which Abraham Van Buren, father of the President was a
Captain i

In 1789 Francis Van Buren moved with his family to the
township of Canghnawaga, Montgomery Co-, settling on a
farm of several hundred acres lying along the north side of
Mayfield Creek in what is now the town of Mayfield, which
was formed in 1793 fr° m Caughnawaga. Later he divided his
tract of land and gave a farm to each of his three sons. In
1793 a Reformed Dutch Church was organized in Mayfield and
the Van Buren family was very active in this Church during
its early history. The church records show that on April 26,
1800, Johanna Van Slyck, wife of Francis Van Buren, was
received on confession, as were also Harmon F. Van Buren,
the youngest son of this couplet *nd his wife Catharine Miller,
while on December 17, 1796, Peter H. Van Buren, another son,
and his wife, Elizabeth Upham, had become members. On
Aug. 12, 1797, Peter H. was chosen a deacon.

In 1793 occurred the organization of the town of Mayfield,
and the same year a Reformed Dutch Church was organized
there. The first meeting house stood in the southern part of
the village, on the present site of the cemetery, where it bor-

80 History of Coenkus Mamam Van Busik

ders on the street and where many of the first settlers lie
buried. The Van Buren family was active in this church,
Barent being one of the first elders and Harmon F. a deacon.
In 1826 this church society was dismissed from the classis of
Montgomery and admitted to the Albany Pre s by te ry as the
Central P res by ter i an Church of Mayfield, Barent Van Buren

The record* of this church sfyow that on April 26, 1800,
Johannah Van Slyck, wife of Francis Van Buren* was l e cei f cd
into mem b ers hip and that on Oct 4, 1800, Loo, a servant of
Francis Van Buren* became a member. He was a negro and
a slare as were also his wife, Jane, and three children, Dick,
Nan and Betsy, who were ba p tized Dec 7, 180a Another child
of this negro couple was "Simon," born May 24, 1805. When
slavery was abolished in New York State in 1827, this negro
family must have taken the name of Van Dusen by which their
descendants are now known. The first census of U. S. taken
in 1790 shows that Francis Van Buren of the township of
Caughnawaga, Montgomery Co., N. Y., was the owner of
seven slaves.

HARMAN* VAN BUREN, Barent, 4 Pieter/ Marten, 1 Cornells, 1

was born in Kinderhook, N. Y., in 1736, and was baptized
in the Dutch Reformed Church of that same village, Jan.
7t *7Z7* He married Eva, daughter of Pieter and Engeltje
Van Slyck, June 10, 1763. The marriage record is recorded

82 History op Coenkus Maessen Van Bubbk

at Claverack, N. Y. Eva Van Slyck was baptized in the
Dutch church at Kinderhook, N. Y., Sept ag, 1734; died at
Johnstown, N. Y., Apr 6, 1803, h* the 68th year of her age.
Harman Van Buren's second wife was Mrs. Elisabeth Vee-
der 9 whom he married July 16, 1804.

In the reprint of the census of 1790, N. Y. State, Har-
man Van Burea was a resident of Kinderhook, N. Y. His
family is given as two sons over 16 years of age, one son un-
der 16, two daughters and six slaves. Harmon Van Buren
was a man of influence and wealth, as riches were estimated

•

in those days. In 1792 a deed of 500 acres in lot 22, Sacandaga
Patent is recorded in the County Clerk's Office, Johnstown,
N. Y., to Harman Van Buren, showing that he was at that
time a resident of Caughnawaga, which then included Johns-
town, Mayfield and Broadalbin. He also bought a large tract
of land lying south of the Mayfield Creek, now known as
Munsonville, where he lived up to the time of his death. Har-
man Van Buren was buried on this farm. Old residents of
the street some years ago pointed out the field' where the Van
Buren stones formerly were. This field is situated on a rise
of ground partly surrounded by woods, but all is now under
cultivation and no trace is left to indicate the last resting-place
of Harman Van Buren. The records of the Presbyterian
Church at Mayfield show that on Oct 4, 1800, Harman Van
Buren and his wife Eva Van Slyck were received into member-
ship in the church, by letter from the Dutch Reformed Church
at Kinderhook, N. Y.

Harman Van Buren was a soldier in the Revolutionary
war and served as Major in Colonel Abraham J. Van Alstine's
regiment of Albany Co. Militia in the service at different times.
In the family annals it is related that at one time Major Har-
man Van Buren was wounded in an engagement When news
of this reached his wife, she immediately exclaimed, "I hope
he was not shot in the back." Major Van Buren lived to re-
turn home bringing with him an honorable record of service
to his country. He died in 1819. His will was probated Nov.
4, 1819.

The following is a copy of that instrument :—

indistinct. The inscription on his stone is as follows:

"Sacred to the memory of Capt. Abraham Van Buren, who
died on the 8th day of April, A.D f . 1817, in the 81st year of his
age. He was tender of and indulgent to his family, benevolent
and charitable to all around him and moreover a good man
whose upright heart, mild temper and conciliatory manners
secured to him what he liked best to reciprocate — the good
will and friendship of all. He died in full reliance upon the
grace of God through the mediatory sacrifice of Christ for his
salvation."

The inscription on her tombstone is as follows:

"Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Maty Van Buren, relict of
the late Capt Abraham Van Buren. She. died on the 16th
day of Feb., 1818, in the 71st year of her age. Her long life
was adorned by domestic virtues of the most useful kind. The
early profession of the religion of the crucified Jesus which she
made she sustained to the end with that undeviating fidelity
which proved its foundation to have been laid in the heart.
And her life and her conversation characterized her piety by

While he was a student at Union College. Schenectady. N. Y.,
his wife, Abigail, taught school to help out financially; evidently
her labors were crowned with success, as one of her descendants.
Paul G. Burton of Baltimore, (lately of Washington, D. C),
writes me that he has a silver tea set which she purchased with
some of her teaching money.

After Peter graduated from Union College they removed to
Charleston, Montgomery County, N. Y. Later to Chatham,
Columbia County, and then to Troy, N. Y. In each of these
places he was settled as a minister.

The most remarkable event chronicled of this couple is the
fact of the birth of triplets on Jan. 19, 1819, all three sons. The

bap. at Kinderhook, July 22, 1764; d. at Mayfield, Feb. 19, 185a
On Sept 22 9 1791, she was married to Abraham Wells, who
was an original member of the Reformed Church at Mayfield
upon its organization in 1793. In 1790 he was a resident of
Coxsartrie, but must have moved to Mayfield the next year. He
died at the latter place on July 22, 1826, aged 68 years. The
Rev. Jeremiah Wood, who came to Mayfield in 1826 to begin
his pastorate of half a century in the Presbyterian Church, was
for some time before his marriage a boarder with the Wells
family. "Aunt Anne Wells, 99 as she was familiarly called, often
•told her grand nephews and nieces now living of her early life
at Kinderhook and spoke of having many times rocked Martin
Van Buren, the President, in his cradle when he was a babe.
His parents were neighbors of Francis Van Buren, who was a
first cousin of Captain Abraham Van Buren, Martin's father.

his second marriage they moved from Kinderfaook to Canada.
Here they remained until 1796, when they came to Volney,
N. Y., and settled on the East side of the river. This made
the third settlement in Volney. The village and farms about
here were all woodland; uninhabited except by Indians and
the wild denizens of die forests. The British still held Oswego
and a story is told that the British soldiers, while at a tavern
kept by a Van Valkenburg, were cheering for King George,
when John Van Buren answered with three cheers for Wash-
ington and for his patriotism being obliged to take to his horse.
John passed his life in hard work, believing "it is better to wear
out than rust out" He died June 11, 1821, and he was buried
in the old burial ground North of Fulton.

Bap. at Kinderhook Dec. 5, 1782; d. July 24, 1862; m. Feb, 21,
1807, Hannah Hoes, a kinswoman of his mother. She was
born Mar. 8, 1783; d. Feb, 5, 1819, in Albany. They were
married at Catalog N. Y.

Numerous biographies of Martin Van Buren have been written
and in fact the statement has been made that of all the Presidents
until very recent years he had been the most written about We
are told he was an unusually good student, so that at the age of
fourteen he was more advanced than lads of that age are usually.
After leaving the school he commenced the study of law with
Francis Sylvester of Kinderhook. Politics became a lifelong
study and when only seventeen he was selected as a delegate to
the Congressional Convention of his district "Nature having
endowed him with #•!»■*♦• the bov with Hi* studious disoosition.
stability of character and untiring perseverance became father
of the man of state, the magistrate of a nation, honored and
beloved in life and revered in memory/'

In 1802 he became a law student with Wm. P. Van Ness of
New York. In 1803 he was admitted to the bar and entered into
a partnership with James J. Van Allen of Kinderhook.

In 1807 he was admitted as a Counselor of the Supreme
Court

In 1808 he was appointed by Governor Tompkins as Surro-
gate for his county (Columbia) and served for five years. In
1812 he was elected a State Senator, where he represented his
State for nine years ; during a portion of these years ( 1815-1819)
he also served as Attorney-General for the State. He was
chosen to represent his State in the United States Senate in
1821. Again in 1827 the same honor was conferred upon him.

In January, 1829, he resigned, as he had been elected to the
office of Governor of his State. He occupied this position but
a brief time, as Andrew Jackson having recognized his abilities
offered him the position of Secretary of State in his Cabinet
The following interesting letter from Van Buren to Jackson
denotes the character of die man :

Van Buren to Jackson.

Albany, February 20th, 1829.
Sir,

Your favor of the 15th instant proposing to assign to me
the Department of State in the administration about to be
formed under your auspices was received yesterday. With
an expression of my gratitude for the favorable opinion you
have formed of me and the very flattering manner in which
you have expressed it, I inform you that I accept your invita-
tion with no other hesitation except such as is derived from a
distrust of my fitness for the high station to which (you) have
been pleased to call me. Allow me to assure you that the hope
of being able to assist you in some small degree to realize the
expectations of a people who, under the most trying circum-
stances, have evinced a degree of patriotism and fidelity that
would do honor to the proudest days of the Republic, induces
me to quit the elevated and truly -honorable station conferred
upon me by my immediate constituents associated as I shall,
doubtless, be in your Cabinet with so great a portion of the
intelligence and virtue of the country, and having constantly
and only in view the success of your administration, I cannot
doubt of our ability to fulfil the public expectation. My move-

116 History of Cornelis Maisssn Van Busen

ments i# regard to my repairing to the seat of Government
will be entirely controlled by my new duties, and be subjected to
no further delay than is strictly unavoidable of that character
will be the necessity of exacting information of the confirma-
tion of my appointment by the Senate. A moment's reflection,
my dear Sir, will satisfy you that however desirable and agree-
able it might be that I should be with you sooner, a different
course would be subject to insurmountable objections. Al-
though I am satisfied that the great body of my leading friends
in this State lode to the result that is about to take place, as
probable, and will be prepared to approve it, there are thou-
sands and tens of thousands who have never bestowed a
thought upon the subject With such particularly, and in-
deed in a quarter or less degree with all, the fact of my leaving
so soon the station to which I have been raised by their favor
in the midst of a busy and very interesting session of the
Legislature, cannot fail to create a strong sensation. Unless
it be done with the utmost propriety to go off without com-
municating with the Legislature, and leave the Government to
devolve silently in the first instance upon the Lieutenant Gov-
ernor would not do. The first direct notice that my constitu-
ents are to have of my intentions should be an address to the
Legislature resigning my office, and assigning my reasons for
doing so. In the discharge of that duty (which I am satisfied
public opinion will require of me), it is due to the Senate of
the United States that I should avoid the presumption of tak-
ing the confirmation of my nomination for granted.

Independently of the unpleasant reflections that an oppo-
site course would give rise to in relation to me personally, and
by which my future usefulness might be impaired, it is scarcely
to be doubted that the appetites of your enemies for detrac-
tion would be in no small degree re-excited, and that we should
be charged through their papers with disrespect towards the
constitutional powers and other powers of the Government.

Hoping that my views upon this subject, thus hastily ex-
pressed will be satisfactory, I have only to add that no time
will be lost upon the receipt of my appointment. The resig-
nation and delivering over of what belongs to the office, will,

History of Cornbus Maessen Van Bur^n 117

of course, take a day or two, and I may want a very few days,
too, and not to exceed a week in all, as I shall leave the fiscal
arrangement of my domestic affairs for a period when it can
be done under circumstances more consistent with the public
service. My friend and aid, Col. Hamilton, of this State, is
now with you, and will take the trouble to ascertain as far as
that can properly be done how long a time may, without
prejudice to the business of the office, be allowed to me to
pack up, and upon conferring with you will communicate to
me the result Accept, Sir, the assurance of my great respect
and kindest regards. — From the draft in the Van Bur en Papers.

He served as Governor but two months and then assumed
the responsibilities of the position of Secretary of State; during
his third year he was appointed Minister to England. In 1832
he was elected Vice-President to Jackson for his second term.
In 1836 he was elected President, the first son of New York
State to be thus honored His term of service extended from
March 4th, 1837, * or ^ our ) rcar8 » at die expiration he was de-
feated for re-election. Varied have been the opinions of the
various biographers of Martin Van Buren as to his political
abilities, but one and all concede to him the attributes of an
honorable, although sometimes an irascible man; one who ex-
hibited to a marked degree many of the sterling traits of his
Dutch ancestry. In his book entitled "Political Parties in the
U. S.," one can learn much of his own character as well as the
matter of which it treats.

Appended to this article are a number of letters written to
or by him which also give the reader a clear insight into the
character of Martin Van Buren. There are numerous amusing
incidents told about him, as, for example, During Mr. Van
Buren's mission to England it is said. he attended one of the
soirees of Queen Adelaide, at which, in a conversation with him,
she inquired how far back he could trace his ancestry. "As far
back as Kinderhook, may it please your Majesty, replied Mr.
Van Buren with die grave urbanity so characteristic of him.
Supposing the name to be that of some distinguished aboriginal
chieftain, the fair descendant of a long line of German princes
paid still greater deference to her guest

118 History of Corneus Maissbn Van Buibn

After his election to the Presidency his to w nsm e n gmve him
a memorable reception and serenade, to which he responded by
appearing on the balcony of the house, where he had been born,
and expressed his gratitude to his townsman.

Extract from President Van Buren's address at Kinderhook
on July 20, 1839:

"I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the com-
plimentary and kind fnanner in which you have greeted my
return to the place of my birth — the home of my relatives, and
for more than a century and a half the burial place also of my
ancestors'; and that I place a very high value upon the ap-
proval which you have expressed upon my official conduct
as President of the United States."

In 1841 he retired to a beautiful estate near Kinderhook
which he called Lindenwald and he gathered about him a
group of congenial souls. According to Emerson, 'The orna-
ment of a house is the friends who frequent it/' and applying
this test to Martin Van Buren we find him entertaining such
men as Henry Clay, Thomas H. Benton, Silas Wright, Wm.
L. Morey, Aaariah C. Flagg, Charles Summer, Francis P.
Blair, Washington Irving and the Earl of Carlyle. It is re-
lated that during the visit of Thomas H. Benton at a dinner
after the dessert that finger bowls were served and that he
viewed them with suspicion and said to a neighbor "what a
queer-looking drinking glass/ 9 Later he said to another guest,
"I am rather charry of new customs, but after noticing Mr.
Van Buren dip the tips of his fingers in the bowl and wipe
them daintily on his napkin, I just raked back my cuffs and
took a good plain Republican wash."

Washington Irving did a good deal of his literary work at
Lindenwald ; he wrote a large portion, if not all, of the "Knick-
erbocker History/' "Rip Van Winkle," and gathered personal
data for the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," It is related that if
the weather was cold President Van Buren would cover his
head with a fur driving glove during church services.

Lindenwald has passed out of the family, but the old brass
knocker was to be seen on the door up until a recent date, if

History of Cornelis Maessbn Van Buben 119

not there still ; it bore the date of 1797. Among other honors
beside those of strictly political nature which he bore was that
of being one of the Regents of the University of the State of
New York. The years of 1853-1855 he spent in foreign travel,
and it is related that while in Holland he was received in audi-
ence by the then King of Holland, and given a drawing of the
Coat-of-Arms, which is the frontispiece of this bock* These
Arms are remembered by persons still living as having hung on
the wall of the hall at Lindenwald, and one of the grandsons
told one of his cousins of the incident and this cousin gave to
the Editor a cut of the Arms.

Will op Martin Van Buben.

I, Martin Van Buren, of the town of Kinderhook, County of
Columbia, and State of New York, heretofore Governor of die
State and more recently President of the United States, but for
the last and happiest years of my life a Farmer in my native
town, do make and declare the following to be my last will and
testament:

First, I direct my Executors hereafter named to pay with-
out delay my funeral expenses and all outstanding bills. Debts
in the ordinary acceptation of that term I owe none and hope to
leave none.

Secondly, I direct that no amount shall be taken of account
by me heretofore made to either of my sons and that they shall
be considered as settled with the exception of a bond I hold
against my son Abraham for two thousand dollars and also a
note against my son John for four thousand eight hundred and
fifteen dollars, which was agreed to be considered as business
transaction strictly, the amount due on each at my death (the
interest having been strictly paid to the present year) is to be
charged to them respectively and deducted from their share
of my estate. The like charge and deduction shall be made in
respect to any future payments by me or by my estate in cases
where I have made myself liable as surety for either of my
sons, but in which nothing has yet been paid by me.

Thirdly, In consideration of advances which I have made
to my sons Abraham and John whilst none have been made to

120 History of Cornus Maisssn Van Buren

my son Smith Thompson, I bequeath to the latter all my per-
sonal chattle and effects excepting therefrom all the debts that
may be due to me and stocks that I may own at my death, and
also my wine and stock on my farm. My miscellaneous library
is intended to be included in this bequest, but not my law
library, which I bequeath to my son John.

Fourthly, I give to my grandson, Singleton Van Buren, a
gold snuff box presented to me with the Freedom of the City
by the Corporation of the City of New York and to my
grandson Martin, son of Abraham, the marble bust made of
me by Powers, which I had previously presented to his mother
and now transfer to the son by her direction. I give to my
grandson, Martin, son of my son Smith Thompson, a silver
pitcher presented to me some years since by my old and al-
ways sincere friend, Benjamin F. Butler.

Fifthly, I direct my executors to expend four hundred dol-
lars or so much thereof as may be necessary in obtaining a
copy of the bust of me by Power, which copy I give to my
grandson Edward Livingston Van Buren.

Sixthly, I direct my Executors to pay out five hundred dol-
lars for keepsakes for my grandson, Travis Van Buren, and
for my granddaughters, Anna, Ellen, Catharine and Eliza Van
Buren.

Seventhly, I request my executors to regard themselves as
standing toward my best of sisters, Dirike Van Buren, if she
shall survive me, in the relation I occupied when living and to
omit nothing in the way of pecuniary advances that may con-
tribute to her comfort out of my estate.

Eighthly, I direct my Executors to pay to my niece, Chris-
tina Cantine, two hundred dollars and to each of my nieces,
Lucretia Van Buren and Jane Ann Van Buren, the sum of
one hundred dollars, and I give and devise to my nephew,
Martin Van Buren, son of my brother Lawrence and to his
heirs and assigns forever all my interest in a small dwelling
with the lot on which it stands adjoining his father's house
conveyed to me by the latter as security for money lent, but
the latter device is upon the condition that his father relieve*
me or my Estate from my remaining securityship to the State
of New York.

Hisxo&y of Cqrnkus Macwen Van Buuk 121

Ninthly, I hereby appoint my three sons Abraham, John
and Smith Thompson, executors of my last and only will ; and
I do hereby authorise and empower them or such of them as
shall take upon themselves the execution thereof, and the sur-
vivors and survivor of them, to fulfill by the execution of con-
veyances and otherwise as may be proper, any Contracts for
the sale of lands, made by me, which shall be outstanding at
the time of my death.

Lastly, I hereby give, devise and bequeath to my three
sons, Abraham, John and Smith Thompson, all the remainder
and residue of my personal Estate not required for the pur-
poses of my Will under the provisions above made, and all
my real estate wheresoever situated, to be equally divided
between them, to have and to hold their respective shares
thereof to them, their heirs and assigns forever subject to the
following conditions and reservations, viz: first, that out of
the avails of the sale of Lindenwald there shall be reserved
and paid over to my son, Smith Thompson, his heirs or as-
sign the sum of seven thousand five hundred dollars' in full
satisfaction for his advance toward die expenses incurred by
the addition to and improvements upon the dwelling house
and outbuildings with the expectation that the place would be
devised to him upon terms that would be equitable in respect
to his brothers, the payment to be without interest during my
life time. Secondly, that upon the sale of Lindenwald, the
preference shall be offered in succession to my sons, beginning
for the reason above assigned and no other, with the youngest,
if the son accepting the same is willing to pay therefor as
much as the place can be sold for in the market.

The three pieces of plate last presented to me by my de-
ceased friend, Benjamin F. Butler, I bequeath to my three
sons, Abraham, John and Smith Thompson, to be equally
divided between them.

In witness whereof I have to this instrument set my hand
and seal this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty.

Letter from Smith Thompson to Martin Van Buren Dec
5, 1819: "We may have amongst us men and very probably
some of my friends and associates who are jealous of your
growing popularity and importance in the State. I think I
know you as well as they or anybody else, and I can with ut-
most sincerity declare that my regard for and good opinion of
you grows upon the more intimate knowledge I have of you,"

Letter from Martin Van Buren to Benjamin F. Butler,
Feb. 12, 1822: "Made my debut to-day in the Senate in a
speech of two hours in the presence of a crowded audience of
ladies, in opposition to the claim of the Marquis de Maison
Rouge for thirty square leagues of land in Louisiana. I at-
tacked it on the ground of fraud."

In Common Council, April 6th, 1827, Mr. Roosevelt pre-
sented the following resolution which was read and adopted :

Resolved that Martin Van Beuren, late-Governor of this
State, be requested to sit for his portrait to be placed in the
City Hall, and that it be referred to a Committee of two, to-
gether with the Mayor to carry this resolution into effect

Whereupon His Honor the Mayor appointed on that Com-
mittee The Recorder and Mr. Roosevelt

Letter from Robert Troup, Dec 16, 1828, to M. V. B.:

"You do me no more than justice when you suppose that
I 'think well of your Dutch Ancestors/ I have never seen a
country that impressed me so deeply with a sense of venera-
tion for those who may be said to have created it, as Holland,
in which word I include her confederate provinces."

In Common Council, March 23rd, 1829, Alderman Cebra
presented the following preamble and resolutions, which were
read and adopted :

Whereas, the great and fundamental principle of the com-
pact forming the Union of the United States is, that the indi-
vidual members thereof, when called on, shall be ever ready to
lend their utmost aid either in war or in Council in support of
those sacred principles of Civil liberty which we enjoy, and
hope and believe it is our high destiny in this happy land to
continue to enjoy. Impressed with a deep sense of this truth
in the Common Council of the City of New York, while they
deeply deplore the necessity which calls on the State to sur-
render to the National Councils one of her brightest sons, can-
not but view with pride and exultation the patriotism and
public spirit which has actuated him in the acceptance of
those arduous and responsible duties for the public good ; and
entertaining, as we do, the highest regard not only for the pure
republican principles which have uniformly marked the polic*
ical course of their fellow-citizen, the Honorable Martin Van
Beuren, they deem the present moment of their separation
from him a proper occasion for the expression of these senti-
ments of respect and attachment Therefore, Resolved, that a
copy hereof, together with the freedom of the City, be pre-

124 History of Cqrnbus Mabsssn Van Buirn

sented to the Hon. Martin Van Bcuren as a testimony of the
respect and esteem which the people of the City of New York
entertain for his private worth and public services.

Resolved, that his Honor, the Mayor, do -carry the forego-
ing resolution into effect

To the Highborn President Van Buren, New York in North
America.

Weinheim, September 17, 1837.

>rn and Most Honored Mr. President:

We have for some time past learned from many news-
papers that your Excellency's grandfather was a German and
your Father a Hollander by birth. Your Excellency's name
together with the native lands of your Grandfather and Father
have induced us to suppose that the former was one of our
family of whom we have for a long period heard nothing. The
person to whom we refer was named Hartman Von Burn, born
at Weinheim in the Bergstrass, and emigrated as a man of
business to Holland, where he established himself, and from
which it appears that he wished to send a son to do business
at Weinheim ; he did not, however, do so, and we heard that
he with his son emigrated to America.

This Hartman Von Burn had sisters, of whom one went
with him to Holland; the other however remained here in
Weinheim, and I am her grand-daughter. All our endeavours
to hear news of them were vain, and we have at length taken
the liberty to address your Excellency and most respectfully
to request that in case the said Hartman should have been
your grandfather you will do us the honour and give us the
pleasure to let us know it In that case, we can be ready to
furnish his certificate of baptism as also that of your Father.
In case, however, you should not be as we suppose, we most
respectfully request your Excellency to pardon us for the
inquiry. We have availed ourselves of the circumstance of
the return of Mr. (Merkel) ( ?) who emigrated from this place

History op Coenkus Mabssin Van Buken 125

to America in 1804, and has been here on a visit, to send this
letter.

Again requesting your Excellency to pardon the liberty we
have taken, I have the honour respectfully to sign myself,

Your Excellency's

Most

Letter from John Van Buren to Martin Van Buren, March
26, 1845. Encloses a copy (translated) of the will of Martin
Cornnelissen.

"You will see that whenever the name of Van Buren was
written in English, it was spelt Van Beuren, being an attempt
to translate the sound of the Dutch letter u. This was tne
cause of the letter # being put into the name as mentioned to
me by my grandfather Tobias in his lifetime. We trace back
to the testator as follows. My father's name is Cornelius,
eldest child of Tobias, who was the eldest child of Cornelius,
who was the eldest child of Tobias, who was the son of Cor-
nelius, who was the eldest son of Martin Cornelius the tes-
tator."

"Vcvay, Sept 19, 1854.
"My dear Son,

"If you think that I prefer the company here, pleasant as
it is, to yours, you are very much mistaken. I, on the con-
trary, long for nothing so much as to be once more located in
apartments with you at some place where the climate agrees
with you and where we may flatter ourselves with hopes of
your recovery."

OBSEQUIES OF BREVET BRIGADIER-GENERAL J.

LYMAN VAN BUREN.
The funeral of Brevet General James Lyman Van Buren,
who died in this city at the residence of his father. No. 46
Union Square, on Friday last, took place y e ste r da y afternoon.
Though a young man, General Van Buren was widely known
and universally respected and esteemed, alike for his abilities
as a soldier and a scholar. In the spring of 1861 he was com-
missioned as Second Lieutenant in the Fifty-third New York
Volunteers (known as the d'Epeneuil Zouaves), with which
regiment he remained for some months, doing duty at An-
napolis, Maryland, until he was transferred to the Signal corps
as chief officer. When the Burnside expedition was fitting
out at Annapolis he was appointed as aid-de-camp on General
Foster's staff. During the battle of Roanoke Island, in the
discharge of his duty, he was constantly under fire, deporting
himself with the utmost coolness and bravery. When the
Ninth Corps moved to Newbern, North Carolina, he acted as
aid on the staff of General Burnside, and was subsequently
made Assistant Judge Advocate General for that department
Soon after the President appointed Governor Stanley as Pro-
visional Governor of North Carolina he was promoted to the

full rank of Major and appointed as Military Secretary to the
Governor, which office he held until the Ninth Corps joined the
Army of the Potomac He remained with his corps until
Burnside was removed from the command of the Army of the
Potomac and ordered to the Department of Ohio, in the spring
of 1863, to which place he accompanied General Burnside, and
was actively engaged all through the campaign in East Ten-
nessee. He participated in the siege of Knoxville in the fall of
1863, and was one of the party of officers who rode out to wel-
come General Sherman on his relief of that position.

In the winter of 1864-5 the Ninth Corps was reorganized and
filled up with colored troops. Major Van Buren then rejoined
his old corps, and with it participated in the victories and de-
feats throughout the final campaign of the rebellion. At the
mine explosion and battle of July 31, at Fort Steadman and the
final attack on Petersburg, he was particularly conspicuous for
gallantry, and for his bearing on those occasions and long and
faithful service to the country he received his brevet as lieuten-
ant-colonel and brevet brigadier-generaL Last August, while
home waiting orders, he was attacked with chills and fever,
besides suffering from a diseased liver, which it is thought
were incidental to the jaundice, a disease that he contracted
while in service at North Carolina. He has never been in per-
fect health since. Surrounded by fond parents and a host of
friends he has thus peacefully breathed his last James Lyman
Van Buren was in the twenty-ninth year of his age, a native of
Dunkirk, near Lake Erie, in this State, and a graduate of the
Free Academy of this city. At that school he was considered
one of the brightest scholars, and his associations with his
classmates were of such an amicable nature that none of them
will read of his death without a feeling of regret at his early
demise.

He was commissioned as aid on the staff of General Parke,
on the 1st of the present month. Yesterday afternoon the
Twelfth Regiment, National Guard, in accordance with orders
promulgated from division headquarters, acted as funeral es-
cort to the deceased, and, accompanied by the United States
band from Governor's Island, made a fine appearance. The

remains were taken to the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian
Church, corner of Twenty-second Street,' where the solemn
and impressive services for the dead were celebrated; after
which a beautiful eulogy on the life and patriotic services of
the deceased was delivered by the Rev. Howard Crosby, D.D.,
and the remains were then conveyed to their last resting place
in Greenwood. (1866.)

The following is a clipping from one of the Chicago papers:
"Judge Evert Van Buren lies at the point of death at his resi-
dence, 679 West Adams Street Judge Van Buren is long
known to legal fame. He was one of the oldest practitioners at
the Cook County bar. He was born at Kinderhook, Columbia
County, N. Y., Nov. 3, 1803. Receiving an academic education,
he read law with J. & A. Vanderpoel, of his native town, and
was admitted to the bar in 1827, afterward settling in Penn Yan,
Yates County, N. Y. Practise came to him almost from the
beginning of his career, and he was esteemed the peer of the

142 History of Cowelis Maisssm Van Bubsk

best lawyers in the county, among whom were numbered John
C Spencer and Dudley Marvin.

"In the "flush times' of 1836 he moved to Buffalo. His
reputation had preceded him and success attended his efforts.
As a lawyer, especially in criminal cases, his triumphs were many
and brilliant Urged by his friends in Penn Yan, he returned
to that town in 1840. He represented his con g re ssi onal dis-
trict in the national anti-masonic convention in 1833, being the
youngest man in the convention. Coming to Chicago in 1856, he
soon acquired a lucrative practise and was elected Judge of the
Recorder's Court, faithfully discharging his duties to the end
of his term.

"He entered actively into practise again and continued to take
great interest in his profession until quite recently, when the
accumulating ills of old age lowered him to his present precarious

died at such an early age, and sincerely was she mourned not
only by her family, but by a large circle of true friends who
appreciated the quiet, gentle dignity of her manner and the
genuineness of her christian character. Grandfather was one
of the old-time gentlemen: quiet, dignified, but whose eye
would kindle and whose face would be wreathed with a quiet
smile when a good story was told, but who would never
countenance anything which savored of coarseness. He was
an Elder in the Dutch Reformed Church at Stuyvesant Falls
for all the years from its establishment until due to advancing
years he sold his farm and moved to Kindcrhook, where he
died He never held public offices, but was sought by many
for his advice and council, and his word was always as good

public expression be made of their sincere sorrow for the
mortality that has removed from their places here and among
men three valued and useful members of the Board of Super*

received its name from die early settlers, many of whom came
from Johnstown. Besides their clothing, Mr. Van Buren
was only equipped with an ax. Arriving at Gouverneur they
went to die home of John Thrall, a brother-in-law, where they
stayed a week, during which time Mr. Van Buren had chopped
die trees and hewn them out, completing a cozy little log
cabin for himself and his young bride to begin life in for
themselves. With untiring industry and perseverance he kept
on clearing up his tract of land until there was sufficient lumber
to build a good frame house, and eleven years later they moved
into their new home. At that time Mr. Van Buren had to go
horseback to Rossie, guided only by marked trees, a distance
of about 17 miles to get nails to build his new home with, and
paid a shilling a pound for them. Both Mr. Van Buren and
his wife were good, staunch Presbyterians, among the first
to help found a church in Gouverneur. They had to walk
to church, a distance of two miles, so they went bare-footed
until they nearly reached the church, when they stopped by
the roadside and put on their shoes and stockings. Later they
were able to drive to church with their oxen team hitched to
a lumber wagon. Many were the difficulties under which
our forefathers lived. All clothing had to be spun and woven
by hand, there being no mills at that time in this new country.
Their food also had to be ground by hand. Thomas Harvey

150 History of Cornelis Maessiv Van Bubbn

Van Buren was a soldier in the war of 1812. Mr. Van Buren
and his wife were blessed with five children:

763 Caroline, b. Mar. 16; d. Apr. 5, 1819.

764 Willard, b. Apr. 9; A May 7, 182a

765 Orville, b. Nov. 5, 1821 ; m. 1843, Lucy Jane Laur-

ence, by whom he had two children: Emma Jane,
Sarah. His second wife was Delia C Chamber-
lain; children: Frank, Grace, Clara.

766 Harriet, b. Apr. 25, 1822; m. John McElhinney;

children: Harriet, Ella, George, William, John,
Jesse.

767 Lucretia, b. May 1, 1831 ; m. William H. Smith; no

children. Still resides in Gonverneur. These
children were all born in the little log cabin except
die youngest, Lucretia, who came after they were
settled in their new home.

Major William John McElhinney, second son of John Mc-
Elhinney, and his wife, Harriet Van Buren McElhinney, (766),
and a grandson of Thomas (487) Harvey Van Buren, was born
at Brockville, Ontario, Canada, Sept 27, 1862; educated at the
Royal Military College, Kingston, Canada, from which he was
graduated with honors, June 11, 1881.

In September, 1881, he was appointed assistant engineer on
the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with head-
quarters at Winnepeg, and remained there until 1885, when he
was offered a Lieutenant's commission in the British Army,
through Colonel E. D. Hewitt, commandant of the Royal Military
College of Canada.

He accepted the offer and proceeded to London, England, to
report himself to the Adjutant-General at the War Office in
White Hall, London, in December, 1885, and on January 6,
1886, was gazetted in the London Gazette to be a Lieutenant in
the corps of Royal Engineers, of which his Royal Highness,
the Prince of Wales, afterward King Edward VII was Colonel
Major McElhinney then joined the headquarters of the corps of
Royal Engineers at Chatham and was on military duty there
until February, 1887.

History of Cornelis Mabssbn Van Buxen 151

In June, 1886, he was presented at Court to Her Majesty
Queen Victoria, at a Levee held at St James Palace in London,
with other young officers who were commissioned during the
previous year.

February, 1887, he was ordered abroad for service in India
and went to Bombay by troopship, arriving there in March and
was posted for duty with a regiment of Sappers and Miners
(Royal Engineers) at Poona.

In September, 1887, he was ordered to join the Field Force
in Upper Burmah, which under the command of General Sir
George White, was ordered to pacify the country. The army of
the ex-king of Burma scattered when that country was annexed
to Great Britain in 1885 an< * m devastating the country until
it was completely subdued by the British troops. The general
warfare lasted three years, and for his services in that campaign
Lieutenant McElhinney was awarded the Silver Frontier Medal
of India with a silver bar inscribed — Upper Burma, 1887-1889,

In September, 1890, a military force of all arms assembled
at Luetta in Baluchistan and marched down the Zhob Valley
into Southern Afghanistan against certain Afghan tribes who
had been raiding and killing in British Territory. Lieutenant
McElhinney was on duty as a staff officer throughout the expedi-
tion, which resulted in the complete pacification of the country
and the annexation of a large slice of Afghan territory to Great
Britain.

After the return of the expedition in the spring of 1891 Lieu-
tenant McElhinney was employed in various military duties in
different parts of India, and was promoted to the rank of
Captain in July, 1895. In 1898 he was selected for staff employ-
ment with the headquarters of the government of India at Simla
in the summer and Calcutta in the winter, and on the 3rd of
April, 1899, he was married at Christ Church, Simla, to Nora
Evelyn Jackson, second daughter of the late Major W. Jackson,
of the Royal Engineers. To them a son, Geoffrey William, was
born at Lucknow on the 16th of December, 1900, and his wife
died at Naini Tal in the Himalayas on the 21st of July, 1901.

Captain McElhinney was promoted to the rank of Major in
August, 1903, and retired from the army January, 191 1, and
settled in England in order to supervise the education of his son.

b. Nov. 19, 1804 ; bap. Feb. 19, 1805 ; was the fourth son oi
Barent and Grace (Denison) Van Buren.

When about 16 years of age he came to Gouverneur, where
two elder brothers, Harmon and Thomas Harvey, had pre-
ceded him. He was employed as clerk by Moses Rowley, who
was then a leading and prominent man in the town. Peter
married, May 12, 1831, Maria Cadwell of Lowville, and after
their marriage he commenced the business of his life as hotel-
keeper. In 1848 he built the Van Buren House, which he
kept up to one year of his death. In the meantime, after erect-
ing the new hotel he bought the property which he had rented
for 15 years, converted it into stores for a number of years,
then into two private residences and after his death it was oc-
cupied by his widow and daughter Emeline, until Mrs. Van
Buret's death, when it came into the possession of the daugh-
ter. Peter leased from the AveriDs of Ogdensburgh a piece of
land which they owned in the center of the village and which
was originally a part of a sand-bed; he filled in and seeded it
down and set all the trees, which as fast as they died out, he
replaced with new ones ; drew water from the river in barrels
on a stone-boat and carried it in pails to water the trees. After
his ten-year lease had expired, the land still being owned by
the Averills some of the citizens thought it should be used for
building purposes as it was too valuable to be devoted to a
park; then some of the leading men took up the matter and
wrote to Mr. Averill. He replied that he would donate it to
the village with the understanding that it should never be
used for any other purpose than a park.

Mr. Charles Van Duzee once said to Miss Emiline Van
Buren: "Your father has left the greatest monument to this
village that ever could be erected to his memory/ 9 No one
in northern New York was more favorably or better known.
He was the ideal old-time gentleman and the familiarities used
in hotels were never allowed to degenerate into license. No

Denison Van Buren, was b. in Mayfield, N. Y«, Oct 27,
1807; bap. Jan. 10, 1808; m. Milton Barney, Nov. 6, 1833.

Their children were :

789 Albert Milton Barney, b. in Gouverneur, N. Y.,
Nov. 18, 1837; d. in New York, Aug. 24, 1886;
was the eldest son of Milton Barney and Kath*
erine Van Buren Barney. He was educated at
Gouverneur Wesleyan Seminary and subse-
quently took a course in higher mathematics
and civil engineering, to which he added a
course in law and was prepared to take his ex-
amination, when the firing on Fort Sumter
changed the course of his life. On the receipt
of the intelligence, Apr. 15, 1861, that the Na-
tional flag had been struck, he wrote in con-
spicuous letters and posted on the. door of the
village post-office, the words : "Fort Sumter has
been fired upon ; all patriots and lovers of their

HiSTOftY or Coeneus Masssbn Van Buien 155

country are requested to take action in this
crisis." At the meeting convened upon this
notice, he was the first to volunteer in the com-
pany sent out from his native town. He was
commissioned xst Lieut and mustered into the
U. S. service in the 16th N. Y. Vol Infantry,
May 15, 1861 ; promoted to Captain in the same
regiment, June 26, 1863; Lieut Col. 142nd N.
Y. Vol. Infantry, Jan. 21, J863 ; Col. same regi-
ment Jan. 15, 1865, and Brevet Brigadier Gen-
eral U. S. Vols., March 28, 1865, and mustered
out with his regiment June 7, 1865, closing a
term of over four years of active military ser-
vice, present and ready for duty at all times
and in every engagement and battle in which
his regiment participated, performing his duty
with so much ability and distinguished bravery,
that his several promotions were made on the
official recommendations of his superior officers,
without the solicitation or interference of po-
litical or personal friends. In Feb., 1869, he
was appointed Special Agent U. S. Treasury.
A few months later, Collector of Customs at the
Port of Brownsville, Texas. Two years later,
appointed Special Agent of the Treasury, which
position he held at the time of his death. He
was an officer, military and civil, of the Fed-
eral Government twenty-one years, charged
with great responsibilities, important trusts,
delicate transactions, involving the custody and
disbursement of a large sum of public money,
each of which he discharged with high courage,
great ability and sound discretion, and with such
scrupulous exactness in financial transactions,
that no auditing officer found an error in his
accounts. He was twice married ; his first wife
was Leonora Chamberlain, daughter of Peleg
Chamberlain of Gouverneur, — his second wife

He studied at the Kinderhook Academy and graduated
from West Point in 1827. Served on the Western frontier
for two years ; was aide-de-camp to Gen. Alexander McComb
for seven years; made Captain in the 1st Dragoons in 1836;
resigned to become private secretary to his father in 1836;
he re-entered the Army at the beginning of the Mexican War
as Major and Paymaster; was with Gen. Zachary Taylor at
Monterey, and .with Gen. Scott in every engagement from
Vera Cruz to the capture of the city of Mexico.

He was brevetted Lieut-Col. for bravery at Contraas and
Churnambusco in 1847, and served in the Paymaster's De-
partment until 1854, when he resigned. He died in New York
City, Mar. 15, 1873.

Angelica Singleton, the wife of Abraham, deserves more
than a passing notice. Her father, Richard Singleton, was a
prominent planter of South Carolina. While she was at-
tending school at Philadelphia she visited her cousin, the
of ex-President Madison, and by her was presented to

History or Cornelis Mabssbn Van Bubbn 159

President Van Buren. This led to her introduction to Abra-
ham, the son of the President, in 1838, and the following year
she made her appearance as Mistress of the White House at
the New Year's Day reception ; her youth and beauty at once
made her very popular. A trip to England the following
year and the advantages which accrued from the fact that
her uncle was U. S. Minister to the Court of St James, were
exceptional She extended her visit to the Continent and
returned to Washington fully equipped to resume her place

ciety assembled at the Capitol She maintained her position
in society until the time of her death which occurred in New
York City, Dec 29, 1878.

Albany; she d. Nov. 19, 1844.

John graduated at Yale in 1828; was admitted to the Bar
in 1830. He was Attorney-General for the State of New
York, 1845-1846.

Much has been written about his unusually brilliant mind
and career and there are many who have said that if he had
lived, doubtless he would have succeeded to the Presidency,
as he was a more brilliant and intellectual man than his father.
While with his father as private secretary, during his term
of service as Minister to England, he was given entree to the
most exclusive society, where his accomplishments and fault-

160 History of Cornkus Marssrn Van Burrn

less manners made him quite the lion of the season. It is
recorded that at one of the court functions he danced with
Queen Victoria and thereafter he was called u Prince John."
Upon his return to America he resumed the practice of law
and soon won fame as one of the leading lawyers of his day.
According to a Chronicle of Events at Albany at a meeting
held Oct 8, 1847, °* that portion of the Democratic party
known as "Barn'Burners," it is stated, There was much rain
from above and indignation from below, as John Van Buren
recited the wrongs and perils of himself and co-adjutors at a
recent convention at Saratoga, where they were out as ir-
regular delegates." His speech was received with great ap-
plause on all sides. During the trial of the Anti-renters at
Hudson, N. Y., he as Attorney-General for the State, as-
sisted the Attorney for Columbia County.

Ambrose L. Jordan, also a leading lawyer, was the lead-
ing counsel for the defense. John W. Edmonds was the
Judge. There was much in the circumstances connected
with the case to excite counsel and as the trial proceeded
these two famous lawyers increased in their acerbity towards
each other until a personal encounter seemed imminent. To
quote from Ellis 9 History of Columbia County, "John W.
Edmonds, then one of the circuit judges, presided. He dis-
charged his judicial duties inflexibly and yet courteously." .

M Perhaps a more independent and pure judge than he never
sat on the bench of the Supreme Court of the State. But the
position he occupied on this occasion was trying in the ex-
treme. Before him were two of the most renowned coun-
selors in the State, glaring at each other with the ferocity of
opposing gladiators, ready to rend each other in brutal con-
flict"

14 For a long time the forbearance, dignity and firmness of
the judge restrained them, keeping them within the pale of
respectful deference to the place which they occupied. But
as the fourth day of the trial was drawing to a close, a scene
occurred rarely witnessed in a court of justice."

u The vindictive passions of the counsel passed beyond
control and a personal encounter ensued. Both lawyers had

Histoby or Cobnit.15 Mabssbn Van Buibn 161

for some time indulged in personalities which the judge
could not suppress. Retort followed retort, and denunciation
was followed by bitter taunts. At length Mr. Jordan, while
addressing the court as to the admissibility of certain evi-
dence offered by Mr. Van Buren, indulged in language the
most bitter and insulting. "The attorney-general does not
care for the condition of these men. He has not contended
for right or justice, but to make an exhibition of himself — to
pander to the miserable ambition which was the curse of his
father. Though his father had brains to temper his wild
ambition in some degree, the son has none to temper his, and
it breaks out anywhere in puerility and slush. 91 Van Buren
utswered the legal objections raised by Jordan with great
calmness, force and dignity. Having concluded his argu-
ment, he said, with contempt curling his lips, "The counsel
opposed has informed your honor the cause of my presence
here. I shall not stoop to deny his coarse assertions; but
allow me to add that it is quite out of place for a man who
stands here in this court with the contributions of murder
and arson in his pockets to criticise me for any cause what-
ever." "A dark, withering frown mounted the menacing fea-
tures of Jordan; his nostrils expanded; vivid gleams of anger
flashed from his large, expressive eyes, and in a twinkling of
an eye he planted a heavy blow upon the face of Van Buren.
It was returned with rapidity of lightning; and with stagger-
ing effect ; then, grappling with each other, a terrible struggle
ensued. Rage and fury made those great lawyers forgetful of
their positions as ministers of justice, deaf to the voice of the
judge, to everything but their desire for vengeance. Sheriff
Waldo rushed into the bar and with his assistants separated
the combatants."

"As soon as order was restored, Judge Edmonds addressed

them with great calmness, dignity and eloquence. He alluded
to the high standing of the counsel, not only before the State
but also the Nation ; to the baleful example they had set be-
fore the world ; to their desecration of the temple of justice ;
to the great insult they had given to the court "Should I neg-
lect to promptly punish you for the very great wrong you

162 History of Cornelm Maessbn Van Buibm

have done, I should myself be unworthy to occupy the bench.
The court regrets that it did not punish your first infraction
of the rule of decency; but as that is passed, it will now, by a
proper interposition of the strong arm of the law, inflict such a
punishment upon you as will preserve its dignity, and we
trust, prevent a reoccurrence of the disgraceful scene we have
just witnessed. The court therefore sentences both of you to
solitary confinement in the county jail for twenty-four hours."
When the judge concluded Mr. Van Buren arose and with im-
pressive dignity made an apology couched in words of touch-
ing eloquence, concluding as follows : "What could I do, your
honor, what could I do under the coarse insults I have been
subjected to during this trial ? I acknowledge I have violated
the decorum of this court and should be punished. But I pray
your honor not to degrade me by punishment in the common
jail, for I feel that I cannot endure that I beg your honor to
so far modify the sentence of the court as to inflicts fine upon
me — I care not how large the' amount may be. The example
of such a fine would be sufficient and I am sure justice would
be vindicated." "But the judge was firm, and inexorable— the
very personification of justice in the act of inflicting punish-
ment upon its ministers. The court,* said the judge, 'can see
no reason for modifying its sentence; the supremacy of the
law must be maintained. It is no respecter of persons; it
looks only to their acts, and measures its punishments ac-
cording to those acts, without regard to the standing of the
actors. Sheriff, you will now conduct these persons to the
county jail and keep them in solitary confinement for the term
of twenty-four hours, during which time the court will ad-
journ."

"Amid the profound, almost stifling silence, the sheriff
obeyed, and in his custody, two of the most eminent lawyers
of the State of New York passed out of the court-house and
were soon incarcerated in the walls of the Columbia County
jail." "Before the opening of the court on the morning of
the altercation described, Judge Edmonds had received an in-
vitation to spend an evening with ex-President Van Buren at
Lindenwald. John was to be his companion in the visit, but

History or Coenxus Mabssbn Van Bubb^ 163

before the appointed time he had been committed to jail."
"The term for which Van Buren and Jordan had been im-
prisoned having expired, they entered the courtroom with a
nonchalance that was really amusing. An hour or two elapsed
when a short recess took place, during which Van Buren ap-
proached the bench, laid his arm easily but carelessly upon it
and in his peculiar manner remarked, 'I hope your honor slept
well last night 9 'As there was nothing to disturb my slum-
bers, I most certainly did.' 'I thought perhaps it might be
possible that your conscience, your sympathy or the thoughts
of Our unenviable position might disturb your slumbers/ said
Van Buren with a characteristic smile, 'but, 9 he continued, 'the
law is now vindicated; my offense is attoned. I suppose,
Judge, our arrangement to visit the old man is still in force.
He will be delighted to see me under the circumstances, and,
Judge, I think his respect for you, on the whole, will not be
diminished on account of the lodgings you assigned me last
night. I know him of old/ 1 think, Mr. Van Buren, the time
we have lost in this trial will render the visit to ex-President
Van Buren impossible/ And the visit to the old man did not
take place."

"The trial continued several days after the release of the
distinguished prisoners. It finally resulted in the conviction
of 'Big Thunder 9 and several anti-renters, and they were sen*
tenced to imprisonment for life in the State prison. The man-
ner in which Van Buren conducted the prosecution gave him
great popularity. Among the evidences of this he, with the
anti-renter leader, was made the subject of the following
conundrum : 'Why is John Van Buren a greater man than
Dr. Franklin? 9 'Because Franklin bottled lightning, but Van
Buren bottled Thunder/ After the close of his term as At-
torney-General for the State he became a prominent member
of the legal profession in New York City. In the Presidential
canvass of 1848 he greatly distinguished himself as a popular
advocate of the principles of the free Democratic Party and
of the exclusion of slavery from the territories. Afterwards
he returned to the Democratic Party. 99

In 1866 he made an extended tour of Europe and died on

He was educated at Charlottesville, N. Y., and at Clav-

Flack, D.D. He became a teacher in various schools of Co-
lumbia County. When the Civil War broke out he responded
to the call by raising a company, and was appointed Captain
of the 6th New York Cavalry. He was in numerous battles ;
had his hat shot through and the stirrup shot off the saddle ;
the horse which he was riding shot from under him, and,
strange to relate, he never received a scratch.

188 History op Comfius Maishw Van Busbm

At Gettysburg he captured a Rebel officer and was pre-
sented with the sword of the said officer. He was promoted
to Major and finally brevetted Colonel He was captured at
Gettysburg on July 6th, 1863, an( * taken to Libby prison, at
Richmond, Va., July 18, 1863. He remained there until May
7, 1864; was in Andersonville from May 16-17 (1864), and
from there was taken to Macon, Ga., and thence to Charles-
ton, S. C .Left there Oct 6 for Columbia, S. C

He escaped from the train, and after five days was re-cap-
tured and taken to Edgefield Jail ; from there he was sent to
Augusta, Ga., and then back to Columbia; was confined in
"Camp Sorghum/ 9 near Columbia, from where he escaped, but
was recaptured near Augusta, Ga., and then taken back to
Columbia.

In Jan., 1865, he was taken from the Stockade near Co-
lumbia to Asylum Camp, within the city limits, and soon
after he was taken to Charlotte, N. G, for two days, and then
to Raleigh, N. C. ; these last two moves were made to get the
prisoners out of the way of Sherman's army. He was finally
taken to Wilmington, N. G, and exchanged on Mar. 1, 1865,
after 295 days of confinement in "Libby Prison" and 310 days
in Danville, Salsburg, Macon, Charleston and Columbia. The
writer well remembers his telling how they travelled at night
when on their escapements, and finally thinking they were
within the lines of the Union army they decided to risk it to
travel by daylight and had only gone a very short distance
when a Rebel officer stepped up to my uncle and laying his
hand on his shoulder, said, "You are my prisoner." Uncle
said it seemed as if he would have rather died right there than
go back to the prisons, but he only said, "I suppose so," and
was marched off. Like many others, his health was shattered,
and he always suffered from heart disease, but attended to the
various Pension offices to which he was appointed.

was b. at Ghent, N. Y. 9 Aug. 6, 1839; m. (1) Jan. 26, i860,
to Margaret J. Williams, of Valatia, N. Y., who was b. at
Kinderhook, Aug. 28, 1832, and d. Nov. 8, 1895, at Chatham
(see Williams) ; m. (2) June 20, 1898, to Augusta Clark, of
Lebanon Springs, who was b. Aug. 27, 1871.

He received his early education at Kinderhook Academy
and at Claverack, but his health failing, he had to relinquish
his plans for a College course, and finished his education with
private tutors. He taught in several schools in Columbia
County, and pursued his own studies at the same time. On
Oct 1, i860, he was ordained as a Baptist minister at Lebanon
Springs, where he served his first pastorate.

In consequence of a severe bronchial affection which ren-
dered it impossible for him to preach, he retired to a farm for
nearly two years, at the end of which he had recovered his
voice and accepted a call to a large church at Newark, N. Y.
While pastor there, there was erected a large and elegant
church edifice. From there he was called to the pastorate of
the Baptist Church, in the city of Dowagiac, Mich. While
here he was attacked with materia in its most aggravated
form, and nearly lost his life, but returning again to Colum-
bia County, he once more regained sufficient health as to en-
able him to re-enter ministerial work, and accepted a call to
the Baptist Church at Athens-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. Later
he was pastor for four years at Johnson's Creek, Niagara
County, N. Y., where once again he almost succumbed to a
long and serious illness.

190 History op Cohnit.to Maishk Van Buien

Physicians telling him he could never preach again, he
decided to complete the necessary course in medicine which
he had studied as a pastime for years. On June 29, 1882, he
received his license to practice medicine as a Homoepathk
physician. He recovered his health sufficiently so that he
again entered into active ministerial work, and became for the
second time the Pastor of the Lebanon Springs, N. Y., Church,
where he served for eight years, and also pursued the practice
of medicine. Later he was Pastor of the Baptist Church at
East Chatham, N. Y., for some years. After the death of his
wife he returned to Lebanon Springs and served again as their
Pastor, and later married there his present wife. While not
actively engaged as Pastor for some years now, he frequently
supplies churches for brief periods. He continues the prac-
tice of medicine. He is a Life Member of the American
Tract Society and The Missionary Union.

CHAPTER IV

Maas Cornelissen*
Van Buren — Bloomingdale (4)

And his Descendants

SECOND GENERATION.

MAAS CORNEUSSEN* VAN BUREN-BLOOMINGDALE,
Cornells, 1
was the third son of the ancestor Cornells. He was b. about
1645, *b4 <fcd Nov. 27, 1704. He m. Jacomyntje Janse
Gardinier, who d. July, 1701.

For some reason known only to himself and not recorded,
Maas took as his surname the name of Bloeniendael, or Bloeni-
ingdale, and the large and well-known Bloomingdale family of
to-day are descendants of this third son of Cornells Maesen
Van Buren. By some it has been conjectured that he may have
named his farm Bloemingdale, because of its fertility, and, as
already stated in the history of Cornelia, the custom of patro-
mymic names not as yet having been established, he saw no
objection to assuming that of the place where he resided, as
well as that his brothers should assume the name of the place
from whence their father had come in Holland. Maas d. in
Albany.

BAKER.

JOAB BAKER, the first of this family in America, came
from England and settled in Roxbury, Conn. He had a son,
Joab (a), who settled in Coeymans and in 1791 he m. Hannah
Ashmore of London, England, a dan. of John Ashmore, a brewer
of note in England, who came to the United States and made
large purchases of land in Coeymans; he d. in New York City
of yellow fever. They had seven children, of whom die eldest,
John, was b. at Coeymans Square, now called Ravena, Albany
County, and d. aged eighty-six years. He was a leather mer-
chant; he m. at Pktua, Albany County, Margaret Vrooman.
Children:

Mary Ann Baker, m. Peter Van Buren; their only child, Anna

L. Van Buren.

of Bethlehem, and m. Caroline Lasher of Bethlehem, and

had children as follows: Alexander, Charles, Abbie S-,

and Edward*
Mary Jane Baker, m. Cornells Vrooman of Bethlehem, and

BANTA.

The progenitor of the American branch of this family bore
the name of Epke Jacobs, Epke, son of Jacob; Epke is a Frisian
name and corresponds to the English name Egbert The first
record of Banta as a surname in America is that of a marriage
in die Dutch Reformed Church at Hackensack, Bergen County,
N. J., on Aug. 22, 1696, which stated that Johannes Meyer of
New York was married to Jannetie Cornelise Banta from u Acken-
sack;" the bride was the first born of Cornells and probably he
was the eldest son of the immigrant This was the first marriage
of the Banta family in America that had been born in America.
Epke Jacobs, before he came to America was a farmer and lived
in the vicinity of Harbingen, an important seaport of Friesland,
in the most northern part of Holland; it is supposed that he
settled at Flushing, Long Island, but as the town records were
lost by the fire of 1789 it is impossible to prove it He made

will in Flushing in 1669; his children were:

BOGARDUS.

DOMINE EVERARDUS BOGARDUS is a 'name that is
indelibly interwoven with the beginning of history in America,
and especially with New York,

He was born in Holland, probably in the town of Woerden,
near Utrecht, in 1607, and matriculated as a Student of Letters
at Leyden University July 7, 1627, when he was twenty years

of age. In the Minutes of the Qassis of Amsterdam, Holland,
June 7, 1632, it is mentioned that "Everardus Bogardus, who was
formerly a Comforter of the Sick in Guinea, presented his Testi-
monials to the d aftfit„ which are very excellent. He then
requested to be examined by the Qassis peremptoir (i. #., finally,
for ordination), which request was granted him. June 14, 1632,
he treated a proposition (preached a sermon) * * * and was
thereupon admitted to the examination, and was promoted
(ordained). 99 He was sent to New Netherland, and probably
came with Director General Woulter Van T wilier, who arrived
in New Amsterdam in the ship Salt Mountain April, 1633. He
was the first resident minister in the little Dutch Settlement on
Manhattan Island, but not the first preacher. In 1628, a Rev.
Jonas Johannes Mkhaelius officiated for some time. Dom.
Michaelius was minister of the church at Hem, North Holland,
from 1614 to 1624, when he went to San Salvador, Brazil, and in
1638 became the first Dutch minister' at New Amsterdam,
(Ecclesiastical Records, State of New York, VoL D, p. 181).

It has been stated by some authorities that Domine Bogardus
was a widower when he arrived in New Amsterdam. However
that may be, he married at that place Annetje Janse, widow of
Roelof Jansen. "June 21, 1642, declaration, Anetje Jans, widow
of Roelof Janse, of Masterland, deceased, as to the provision she
made in March, 1638, for her children by said Jansen, previous
to her marriage with Rev. Everadus Borgardus." — (Calendar of
New York Historical Mss., Dutch, p. 18). On June 21, 1642,
a license to marry was issued to Everardus Bogardus and Anna
Jansen (Albany Records, VoL 3, p. 37; given in N. Y. Marriages,
p. 35). In 1647, he resigned his pastorate in New Amsterdam
and obtained permission to return to Holland. He took passage
on the ship Princess in August, 1647. While off the coast of
England the mariners mistook the channel, entered the estuary
of the river Severn and were shipwrecked on the coast of Wales,
Sept 27, 1647. All on board perished, among whom was Domine
Bogardus. Annetje Janse survived him sixteen years. She
removed to Beverwyck, now Albany, where she died in 1663;
her will was dated January 29, 1663. Annetje Janse or Anneke
Jans, as she is more often spoken of, is perhaps better known
to posterity than her husband, Domine Bogardus, through the

238 History of Cornelis Mabsssn Van Burin.

litigations which from time to time her heirs have instituted
against the corporation of Trinity Church, New York, for the
possession of land belonging to that church corporation.

Annetje Janse was the daughter of Catharine, or as the name
is usually given, Trynje Jonas, who was the official midwife of
the Dutch West Indies Company in Holland, and as early as 1616
in New Amsterdam.

Her first husband was Roelof Jansen'of Maesterland, who
was in New Amsterdam in 163a They removed about that time
to Fort Orange, now Albany, where Roelof was employed as
foreman or steward by the Patroon Van Rensselaer, on his
de Laets Burg Bouwerie, or farm. On July 1, 1662, he was
appointed Schepen, an office much like an Alderman. He carried
on a trade with the Indians, on his own account A beautiful
little stream is called by his name, in Columbia County, "Roelof
Jansen's Kill" Prior to 1635 Roelof Jansen and his wife,
Annetje Janse, removed back to New Amsterdam, where he
""acquired a tract of land from Director General Van T wilier of
about sixty acres, on the shore of the North or Hudson River.
It was situated some distance to the north of Trinity Church,
about the site of the present Jay street and West Broadway.
Here he built a farmhouse, but ere he had time to more than
begin to cultivate his farm he died, and the property passed into
the hands of his widow, Annetje Janse, who was left with the
care of the farm and four little children.

After her second marriage to Dom. Bogardus, the farm was
known as the "Domine's bouwerie, 99 and was their home. When
Dom. Bogardus died and Annetje removed to Beaverwyck, this
land became a part of what was called "the King's farm," which
extended some distance further south, and embraced the present
site of Trinity Church. It is not known exactly how it pasied
into the possession of the King's Farm. Whether it was bought
from Annetje or her children, or whether it lapsed to the Crown
after her death, has never been clearly shown. On Nov. 15,
1705, a portion of the King's farm, including this tract, was
given by partition to the corporation of Trinity Church.

This is the famous "Annetje Janse farm," now situated iu
the very heart of New York's most valuable business section,

which many thousands have been spent

BRODHEAD.

(From History of Wayne, Pike and Monroe Counties, Pa.)

The ancestor of the Brodhead family is said to have come
from Germany to England, and to have settled at Royston, in
Yorkshire, in the reign of Henry VHL On Feb. 28th, 1610,
James I granted the manor of Burton or Monk Britton, in the
west riding of Yorkshire, to John Brodhead and George Wood,
the principal freeholders of that place.

Allied Families 243

DANIEL BRODHEAD, grand-nephew of John, the
above-named grantee, was the ancestor of those who bear the
name in the United States. He was born in Yorkshire, mar*
ried Ann Tye, was an officer in the army of King Charles II,
and accompanied the expedition of Colonel Nicolls from Eng-
land in 1664. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the
military forces at Kingston, September 14, 1665, where he
remained until his death, July 14, 1667. He had three sons,
Daniel, Charles and Richard.

RICHARD BRODHEAD, son of Daniel, was twice mar*
ried. By his first wife, who was a Miss Jansen, he had one
child, who was named Daniel Brodhead. Daniel, son of Rich-
ard, was born at Marbletown, N. Y., in 1693 ; married Hester
Wyngart, of Albany, in 1730, moved to Pennsylvania in 1738,
and settled at East Stroudsborg, upon land acquired some two
years before from the proprietaries of the province, apparently
for service rendered, comprising one thousand acres. It em*
braced the present town of East Stroudsburg, and an addi-
tional purchase of five hundred acres extended the area to
Wallace's Mill Dam, on McMichael Creek. This property
was known locally as the "Brodhead Manor," and the settle-
ment at Dansbury, being in the several divisions of counties
first in Bucks, then in Northampton, and now in Monroe.
On September 25th, 1747, he was commissioned one of the
Justices of the Peace for the portion of Bucks County north
of the "Blue Hills," which he held for the rest of his life.

DANIEL BRODHEAD died at Bethlehem (whither he
had gone for medical treatment) on July 12nd, 1755. Some
of his children were educated at Bethlehem. His son John was
a pupil there in 1752.

Fourth Generation — Children of Daniel Brodhead and Hes-
ter Wyngert were Charles, who married Mary Oliver; Garrett,
who married Jane Davis; Daniel, who married Elizabeth De-
pui; John, who married Mary Davis; Thomas, who died at
sea; Luke, who married Elizabeth Harrison, 1737-1806, and
Ann Carton, who never married.

BRONCK or BRONK.

The American founder of the Bronck family was Jonas,
born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He came to America from
Amsterdam, Holland, where he had married Antonia Slag-
boom* He arrived here in 1639, having made the voyage in
his own ship, called Fire of Tray, manned by himself, ac-
companied by a friend who was an officer in the Danish army,
Capt Joachiem Pietersen Kuyter.

They each brought their family and a number of herds-
men or farmers, as their cargo was cattle. Jonas was a man
of means, as proved by the fact that he loaned large amounts
to his friends. He acquired land north of the Great Kill,
where he built a stone house covered with tiles, a barn, tobac-
co-house and two barracks. He called his home "Emmans."
Later he purchased from the Indians five hundred acres on
the now Bronx River; this later was included in the Manor
of Morrisania. Here he had a substantial house, servants, and
cattle. He was a devoted Lutheran. Director Kieft appointed
a meeting of the Indian Chiefs at his house, where a Treaty
was made. Following the making of the Treaty, occurred the
murder of an Indian ; whether by a white man or not was un-
proved, but the Indians as a revenge for the murder slew some
of the white men, Jonas Bronck among them. His property
was saved. He possessed for that day an unusually good

246 History of Corkklis Maessen Van Bubsh

library of Latin and Danish books of Law, History and Divin-
ity. His widow married Arent Curler, of Rensselaerswyck,
whom she also survived; she died in Schenectady Dec 19,
1676. The inventory of his property shows that he was pos-
sessed of "2 Bibles, mirrors, napkins, extension table, 4 silver
tankards, a silver cup, spoons, etc, etc" There is still exist-
ing among his descendants a silver cup said to have belonged
to Jonas, and it contains the family coat of arms, which is the
same as on the windows of the old Dutch Church in Albany
where his son Pieter worshiped. '

Pet$r Jonassen Bronck, son of Jonas, was born in Hol-
land; died 1669, in Coxsaclde, N. Y. His wife was Hillitje
Tyssenck ; they had sons, Pieter and Jan. Peter Jonassen was
a brewer of Beverwyck. He owned houses and lots as early as
1645, which he sold in 1662, after which he bought land in
Coxsaclde (which was a Colonial grant known as the Bronck
patent), Jan. 13, 1663, and it was confirmed as a Patent June
xx, 1667. The patent is on file at the Secretary of State's of-
fice in Albany (prior to the fire, the original could be seen
there, and the original inventory of the effects of Jonas
Bronck.)

JAN BRONCK, son of Peter Jonassen, was born in Bever-
wyck or Albany, 1650, and died in Coxsaclde, N. Y., 1743 (?) ;
he married Commert je Leendertse Conyn.

The Patent descended to Jan ; part of it is still in the pos-
session of the Rev. Louis Lampman, whose wife was a Bronk.
The old Bronk house is still standing, considerably over 200
years old, while the brick part bears the date of 1738. Here
was the old saw-mill which ground flour for the soldiers dur-
ing the Revolution. In 1705 Jan Bronck received a patent for
a tract of land from Queen Anne, the original of which is in
the possession of Dr. Charles Alexander Rhodes, of New
York. It is beautifully engrossed on sheepskin, and written in
a fine hand, and is in a good state of preservation, although
over 200 years old.

The silver cup before referred to is in the possession of the
referee in bankruptcy, R. Bronk Fish, Fultonvillc, N. Y.

Allied Families 247

The military record of the family gains in importance in
each generation. Jan was a Lieutenant in 1709 and a Justice
of the Peace of Albany County in 1738. Jan Leendertsen,
fourth in descent from Jonas, married Elsie Van Buren, and
established the rights of his descendants to all societies with
early military claims by becoming Captain of Militia in 1740,
and in 1770 was commissioned to that rank by Lieutenant-
Governor Cadwalder Colden ; later he was promoted to the
rank of Major of the nth Regiment, which was confirmed by
the Provincial Congress. The sole male heir of Jan Leendert-
sen, Leonard, was made First Lieutenant by the Convention
of New York State in 1777, and in 1778 Gov. George Clinton
gave him commission for same position. In 1793 he was a
Major, and in 1796 he was a Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1786,
1789-1792 he was a Representative in the Assembly. In 1796
he was United States Senator from New York. On March 29,
1790, he was appointed first Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas.

Other members of the Bronk family took part in the dif-
ferent wars as shown by the records of the French and Indian
Wars.

The Coat-of-Arms of Jonas Bronck is said by good au-
thority to be that after which the coat-of-arms of New York
State was modeled.

DU BOIS.

JACQUES and LOUIS DU BOIS were bora near La Bassee,
in the Province of Artois, France. They are supposed to have
been brothers.

JACQUES DU BOIS was married in Leyden in April, 1663,
from which place he came to this country in 1675. He died soon
afterward, leaving three sons, Jacques, bora in Leyden in March,
1665; John, b. in July, 1671, and Pierre (or Pieter), the an-
cestor of the Dutchess County branch of the family, born at
Leyden March 17, 1674.

Peter grew up at Kingston, N. Y., and married Jannetje
Burhams (daughter of Jan Burhams, of Brabant), October 12,
1697.

One of his sons was named Christian, probably the same name
as Peter's grandfather. Louis and Jacques Du Bois were Wal-
loons. Their language was the old French dialect of Pkardy,
one of the three sources of die pure French of his time.

The surname Du Bois or rather du Bois, was an ancient
family name in Artois and Normandy before William I of
England left his native country.

According to Viscount de Maguy, the head of the Heraldic
College of France, in 1875, the family name "du Bois" is one
of the very oldest in France and has more extensive marriage
connections than any other. The prefix "du," a contraction
of "de la" is admitted in France to be a badge of noble ex-
traction.

Jacques Du Bois lived in this country only about one year.
He was one of the twelve patentees of the Paltz in Ulster
County, N. Y.

PETER DU BOIS was the seventh son of Jacques Du
Bois and Pierronne Bentyn. He was b. in Holland and bap.
at Leyden, Mar. 18, 1674. He came with his father to "Wilt-
wyck," now Kingston, N. Y«, when thirteen months old, where
Louis Du Bois had arrived fifteen years before. His father
Jacques died at Kingston about the year 1676. Peter m.
Oct. 12, 1697, to Jannetje Burhams, of Brabant

Eleven children were born of this marriage — seven sons
and four daughters. Six of the children married.

260 History of Cobnet.is Mabssen Van Buben

Peter Du Bois died Jan. 22, 1738, aged 63, and was buried
in Fishkill Dutch Reformed Churchyard.

In or about the year 1707 Peter moved to Dutchess County,
where he bought a tract of land in the Town of Fishkill of
Henry Beekman. The house, a one story stone house, with
steep roof, about three and a half miles from Fishkill village,
near Swartoutville, on Sprout Creek, still stands.

Of his children there are named in his will Jonathan, to
whom he gave a fang, and Abraham, to whom he gave the
"Old Homestead." He had a son named Christian, who mar-
ried Neeltje Van Vliet He died about 1786, leaving two
daughters and one son.

FRYENMOET.

REV. JOHANNIS CASPARUS FRYENMOET or Fry-
math according to the Swiss spelling was born in Switzer-
land. He emigrated while a young man to America and took
up his residence at Minisink in Orange Co. (now Port Jervis).
Here the people of the associated churches of Mahackamack,
Minisink, Walpack, and Smithfield took a special interest in
him and sent him to Holland to complete his education and
receive ordination. Returning he accepted the pastorate of
these churches. An Indian massacre made him a fugitive.
For ar time he was the pastor of the North Branch church.

He then came to Qaverack where he received a joint call
from the churches of Qaverack, Kinderhook, and Livingston
Manor. "It stipulated to pay him first, the sum of forty
pounds each or about 300 in all ; second, to provide him with
a dwelling house 'becoming a preacher 9 with a kitchen, stable,
etc, together with several acres of land for a garden, pasture,
mow-ground, orchard, etc, which should be situated in
Qaverack, the congregation of Qaverack to provide these
things for their privilege of having the preacher dwelling
among them. The other congregations to provide the preach*
er with 'entertainment becoming his office* while laboring
among them. Third, the three congregations to bear his
expenses of moving each an equal share." Dotnine Fryenmoet
took three months to consider this call and then accepted it.
His ministry lasted in Qaverack until 1770, when he with-
drew to confine his labors entirely to Schodack and Kinder-
hook. He died about 1778 nearly 60 years of age He was
interred under the Kinderhook church. He had a curious way
of signing'his age after his name

During his ministry the church of Qaverack was erected
which is still standing. It was dedicated Nov. 8, 1767; the
sermon was preached by Domine Fryenmoet The bricks
were brought from Holland. It is a tradition of the Van
Rensselaer family that they were carried to Albany and then
down the Hudson by sloop to Hudson and by team out to
Qaverack ; Dom. Fryenmoet's wife was Magdalena Van Etten,
dau. of Jacob and Antje (Wcstbroeck) Van Etten; they had

HOES.

JAN TYSSEN HOES, of Albany, N. Y., the Immigrant
Ancestor of the Hoes family in America, was probably b. as
early as 163a His first wife was Brechtje Mamus, wid. of
Claes Corneliszen Van Voorhout, and his second wife was
Christyntje Van Hoesen, dau. of Jan Franaa Hoesen, of Albany,
and his wife Volkertje Jurriaens (Van Rensselaer Bowier,
MSS.; pp. 734, 836* 845).

Jan Tyssen Hoes; d. May 31, 1705, (See Calendar of
Wills, N. Y.) He resided at Kinderhook and Albany, being one
of the first Patentees of Kinderhook. In the early records the
name of "Hoes" is spelled "Goes," the letter "G" in Dutch having
the exact sound of "H" and the pronunciation of "Goes" being
"Hoes." As the name soon came to be spelled in that way it
has been deemed advisable to follow that form throughout
this genealogy. (Van Deursen Genealogy).

HOGEBOOM.

The name Hogeboom is derived from the Dutch words
"hoog," meaning high and "boom" meaning tree, high tree,
which may mean height or be merely a local name. In 1372,
"S. Maes van Hoecbomme" is mentioned in the archives of
Holland and the use of "van" meaning from indicates a name
of local origin. Early traces of the family are found at The

280 History of Cornilis Mamsbn Van Busbv

Hague, Heiloo, Haarlem, Benscop, Nieuwenierop, and Am-
sterdam. Occasionally in this country, one meets with the
signature of Cornells Hoogeboom, lawyer and notary at the
Singel in Amsterdam, who was born in 1635 and buried
Sept x, 1684, *°n of Jan Cornelisz Hoogeboom, of Nieuwenie-
rop, notary at Amsterdam, and Grietge, WitteboL Cornells
mar. Aug. 31. 1659, Christina Geelvinck, born 1627 and buried
Dec. 17. 1699, without issue. At the present time the name
Hogeboom exists on the islands of Southern Holland and at
Makkum in Friesland, a town noted for its manufacture of
tiles. It is possible that Cornelia Pietersen Hogeboom, the
tile and' brick maker of New Amsterdam and Kingston, was
a native of that place. In this country the name first appears
under the form of Hoogeboom or Hoogenbooin, which later
became contracted to Hogeboom, its present form.

CORNELIS PIETERSEN HOOGEBOOM, and Mees
Pieterson Hoogeboom were the first representatives of the
family in New Netherlands. In X662, Jan Pietersze and Maria
Hoogeboom joined the church at Brooklyn with letters from
the town of Bunnick, of Holland. It was a peculiarity of
some of the early ministers or clerks, in the case of husband
and wife to write the husband's name with its patronymic and
his family name following his wife's name. If this is true
here, Jan Pietersze may have been a Hoogeboom and a
brother of Cornelia and Mees.

Cornells Pieterson Hoogeboom first appears at Fort
Orange, (Albany), where on Oct. 17, 1656, Jurian the glazier
(Jurian Teunisse Tappan) was brought to trial for assaulting
and wounding him. In 1659 or earlier, Hoogeboom had
formed a partnership with Jan Andriessen DeGraaf for the
manufacture of brick at New Amsterdam. Hoogeboom's
success was important because it rendered Manhattan inde-
pendent of the brick supply from the neighboring plafces and
the mother country. He last appears at New Amsterdam, in
March, 1663. He returned to Albany, and on Jan. 2X, 1664,
agreed with Gerrit Van Sclictenhorst to serve at the tile kiln
from Jan.. until Nov. next or as long as the weather permits
for 60 beavers and board. A year later he appears at Wilt-
wyck, (Kingston) where he requests that he may be granted

Allied Families 281

a lot opposite the milldam for a brickyard. From time to time
he added to his land. Aside from his land holdings he owned
slaves, for on Oct 3, 1681, he sold Frederick Hussey a negro
named "Pfunpldn" for 30 schepels of wheat*

That he was a man of education is shown by the fact that
on Oct 26, 1668, he asked permission "to keep evening school"
and on Oct 23, 1671 he again requested to be appointed school-
master and to have the village house, and lot rent free for
the time of two years. The tile and brickmaker had become
a teacher and finally in 1674, he was nominated for schepen,
(magistrate).

Of his first marriage and the birth or bap. of his son we
have no record. He married the second time Annetie Corn-
ells* Slecht (Sleight), dau. of Cornelia Barentsen Slecht and
Tiyntje Tysse Bos, from Woerden, in the province of South
Holland. She was a widow in 1719, when she made a will

BARTHOLOMEUS (MEES OR MEUS) PIETERSEN
HOOGEBOOM, unlike his brother, the tile and brick maker,
was a trader and operator of a vessel on the Hudson.

He first appears in this country in 1657; on March aoth
the sheriff of Albany called Meuwis Hoogeboom and others
to account for playing at golf on the public prayer day. The
case was put over, but as there is no later reference to fine
or punishment the officer probably dismissed them with a
warning. The incident is important as showing at what an
early time golf was played in this country by the Dutch.
During the interval from 1657 *° l &74 Mees Hoogeboom had
advanced from a helper to a freighter with a vessel of his
own. On January 21, 1678-79, Claes Van Patten sold him
one-half of the yacht Royal Oak, now lying in Steevens
Kil and on Aug. 6, 1679, the remaining half. In 1680 the
Labidist brothers, Jasper Dankers and Peter Sluyter, while
traveling through the country in search of an eligible site for
a colony left in their diary this account of Skipper Hooge-
boom: "On April 15th we went in search of a boat to go
tot Albany and found one ready to leave immediately. The
name of the skipper was Meus Hoogeboom, to whom we
agreed to pay, for the passage up and down, one beaver, that
is, 25 guilders in seewan, for each of us and find ourselves.

282 Histoiy or CamuM Mam«h Van Bumf

We gave him our names, to have them inserted to our pass-
port. On Apr. 17th we went to inquire whether the boat
waa going up the river to-day, but it could not be got ready.
We left -New York about three o'clock in the afternoon of
the 19th and at noon of the aand anchored at Fort Orange.
We first thought of taking lodgings with our skipper, but had
been warned that his bouse was unregulated and poorer kept;
we were therefore entertained by Mr. Robert Sanders." On
their return trip they write under date of Apr. 36th: "is soon
as we arrived in Albany we went to oar skipper , Mens Hooge-
. boom to inquire when he was going to the city. He said
to-morrow, but he would come and notify us of the time. We
saw it would run on a much longer time, as it usually does
in these parts/* It was not until four days later that the
Labadists were able to leave for New York.

On Apr. i> 1684*. Mees waa ordered to move his yacht
from, the city stockade and on May 6th he was arrested for
contempt of court for not obeying the order^ June 31st,
1684, he sold a yacht called Th* Royal Oak to Hendrick
Abelse (Reddenhausen) and Nanning Harmense (VTsscher).
Not only did Mees convey freight and passengers, but he also
carried on a trade with the Indians. Aside from trading and
freighting, Hogeboom was also a carpenter. ' Like his brother,
Cornelia, Mees owned slaves. - On Feb. 7, 1693-4, Jan Marten-
sen de Wever (Van Aelstyne) conveyed to if ees Hogeboom
for £15 property described as being without the north gate,
bounded west by the street to Rensselaer's mill, north the
creek, east by the Marselis (Marsellus) property and south
by the road to the river. It is known that Hoogeboom
traded with the Indians at Half Moon (Waterford) and
some time prior to 1700 settled there. On Oct. 4, 1700, the
man who had begun life as a "knecht" or helper and later as a
trader and an owner of a freighting vessel on the Hudson
was elected to the office of assessor for the Half Moon.

The family name of Mees 9 wife is not given, but in 1683
both he and wife Catryn, as well as their daughters, Ariaantje
and Geertruy, were enrolled as members of the Dutch Re-
formed Church at Albany. He d. Feb. 15, 1702, and his wife
in 1707. They left six children (having lost one in 1682),
viz.:

article in the New Netherland Register, by William

According to an article by William Leggett Bramhall in
Zabrialde's Claverack, the original ancestor of the Hogeboom
family in America was one Killian, who brought his eldest
son, Jeremiah, who was born in Holland, Apr. 5, 1712, with
him. Killian settled in the town of Claverack, and here the
younger son, Johannes, was b. Johannes m. Albertie Van
Alen, dau. of Johannes and Sara Van Alen, of Kinderhook ;
they had seven sons and four daughters: Johannes, Barthol-
omew, Cornelia, Lawrence, Peter, Abraham, James, Johan-
che, Heleche, Albertie and Catharine.

JOHANNES HOGEBOOM afterward moved to the north-
eastern part of the town, and settled on the site of the
house subsequently built by his son, Lawrence. Here his
sons settled around him. The daughters, Heleche and Cath-
erine m. and moved to Schoharie County ; Johanche m. Judge
Jeremiah Miller and resided in Claverack; Albertie m. Hon.
Peter Van Ness and lived in Kinderhook on the place later
occupied by Pres. Martin Van Buren, and called Linderwald.

Miller, and had several children: Stephen, Albertie, Helletie,
Polly, Sarah, John, Gertrude.

ABRAHAM HOGEBOOM m. Maria Vosburgh, dau. of
Jacob Vosburgh of Kinderhook, and settled on the site of
the present county house at Ghent, where they had ten chil-
dren, (names not given in article quoted).

According to records copied from an old family Bible
these two genealogies do not agree as to the original ances-
tor; the list furnished to me is as follows: Johannes Hoge-
boom, who m. Albertie Van Allen, was a son of Piter of
Claverack, whom I suppose is the Pieter Mees who m. Jan*
netje MuUer of Claverack; he was the son of Meus or Bar-

tholomew Hogeboom of Beverwyck, whose history is given
in the beginning of this article, and who was a son of Pieter
Hogeboom of Holland, as my list declares; if this is correct
where does Killian, who is said to have been the father of
Johannes who m. Albertie Van Allen, as given in both of
these genealogies, come in? I leave it for each one to settle
for him or her self.

Having lost their parents at an early age, Thomas and
his sister, Elizabeth, were brought up by their grandparents,
Judge and Mrs. Leonard Gansevoort, Jr. In 1818 Thomas
entered the Albany Boys 9 Academy. When only 16, he
entered the Junior class at Union College, from which he
graduated in 1826 with honors and the degree, of B. A.
Studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He
graduated as an M.D. in 1830. When the Cholera epidemic

Allied Families 287

broke out in Albany in 1832 a hospital was instituted and
Dr. Thomas Hun was appointed one of the physicians. In
the Spring of 1833 he went to Europe and but for two or
three brief visits home he remained until 1839. Soon after
his return he was elected Professor of Institutes of Medicine
in the recently organized Medical College at Albany. His
inaugural address is said to have aroused great enthusiasm
because of its great breadth of learning and its liberality of
thought In 1848, when the Albany Hospital was incorpor-
ated, Dr. Huh was appointed one of the Consulting Phy-
sicians. In 1858 his private practice having become so ex-
tensive that he could not attend to his duties as a Professor,
he resigned from the College. In 1862 he was President of
the New York State Medical Society. Later he was Dean of
the Albany Medical College. He was a devout Episcopalian.

Valley Families for much more of interest relating to Dr.
Thomas Hun and his sons, Dr. Edward, Dr. Henry, Marcus
Tullius, and Leonard Gansevoort

PECKHAM.

The Colonial Peckhams of the United States trace their
descent from John Peckham, who returned from the Seige
of Acre with Richard Coeur De Lion in '191 1. In England
they have been an Anglo-Saxon family seated for an imme-
morial period in Southwest Kent, chiefly in the neighborhood
of Wrotham. Their principal seat was at Yaldam ,the Manor
house of which is still standing; the Great Hall of which
dates from the 14th Century. It was then occupied by Sir
James Peckham, who was associated with Godfrey Chaucer
on several royal commissions. Chaucer was no doubt enter-
tained by James Peckham in the Great Hall at Yaldam. It
is supposed that Sir James Peckham was the original of
Chaucer's description of the Frankelyn in the Prologue to
the Canterbury Tales. In the reign of Edward the Fourth
William Peckham, Esq., was Cup-bearer to Arch Bishop
Thomas Bourchier and later in the reigns of Henry the
Seventh and Eighth the Yaldam Peckhams were members of
Henry's court They were always in the Reformers 9 party.
James Peckham in 1632 made a Will which was witnessed by
Sir Thomas Wyatt the elder and Thomas Wyatt, his son, was
given a bequest of a grey horse. This family of Peckhams
were intimately associated with Wyatt's Rebellion and suf-
fered severely in consequence. The elder son of James Peck-
ham m. a niece of Arch Bishop Cranmer, but he escaped
the disaster of Wyatt's Rebellion, having d. a few years be-
fore it occurred.

The family became extinct at Yaldam in the male line in
1713, but a junior branch survived in Sussex from which
John Peckham came, who was the Colonial ancestor of the
American Peckhams. This John Peckham was chaplain to

William Seymour, Earl of Hertford, who afterwards became
the Duke of Somerset and as such m. Artabella Stuart The
Duke of Somerset was one of the greatest courtiers of the
reign of Charles the First

John Peckham became a Lollard and emigrated to New
England. He first appears in 1638 as one of those to whom
land was alloted on the Island of Rhode Island. It is sup-
posed that he came tp America with Sir Henry Vane and Dr.
John Clarke. Sir Henry Vane was descended from William
Peckham, the cup-bearer, whose dau. m. Henry Fane, the
name afterward being changed to Vane. Sir Henry Vane's
father was Comptroller of the Household of Charles the
First and the sons no doubt met at court and were intimately
acquainted. John Peckham m. a sister of Dr. John Clarice
and did not return to England with Sir Henry Vane.

His son William was the first Baptist minister ordained
on this Continent He was the fourth pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Newport R. I. v of which Dr. John Clarke
had been the first

The Peckhams of the United States have gradually emi-
grated from Rhode Island until they are scattered all over
the Continent The majority of them have been land owners
and farmers. As a race they have been highly educated,
many of them have been eminent lawyers and physicians and
a few have been clergymen. * At the present time there are
five Peckhams living who are, or have been, College Profes-
sors. They are Prof. William C. Peckham of the Adelphi
College, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Profc George A. Peckham, of
Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio ; Prof. George W. Peckham, of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin ; Prof. Anna Brown Peckham of Den*
ison University, Denison, Ohio, and Prot Stephen Farnum
Peckham of Brooklyn, N. Y.

The most eminent branch of the family are the so-celled
New York Peckhams, of whom Judge Rufus W. Peckham,
Sr., of the New York Court of Appeals was the representa-
tive. His son, Rufus W. Peckham, Jr., succeeded his father
on the bench of the Court of Appeals and while serving
there was appointed one of the Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States.

The descendants of John Peckham have been faithful and
efficient soldiers of the Colonies and the United States from
the French and Indian Wars of the 18th Century to the
present time. None of them attained high rank, Major Peleg
E. Peckham of the 7th Rhode Island Volunteers attaining
the highest rank. Brigadier General Isaac P. Rodman of
General Burnsides Staff was a son of Mary (Peckham) Rod-
man. A large number of others bearing the name served
. faithfully as privates and non-commissioned officers.

Proi Stephen Farnum Peckham, who m. Dr. Harriett G
Van Buren, is best known as a writer of authority on Bitu-
mens, especially of petroleum and asphaltum. He is an
authority on questions relating to street paving with bitu-
mens. His scientific papers are widely quoted throughout
the world. He is the author of the Peckham Genealogy and
of various papers on early history of Rhode Island that have
appeared in The Journal of American History.

PRUYN, PRUYNE, PRYNE, OR PRUEN.

The first three generations of this family in America
varied the spelling of their name as at the heading of this
article. This family were entitled to a Coat-of-Arms, as fol-
lows: Shield, a field of gold or saffron on which are placed
three martlets of natural color, without beaks or feet, turned
to the fore-part, one at the base of the shield, the other two
at either side. Crest, a barred or tournament helmet adorned
with a mantling of gold or saffron and black, on the top of
which on a twisted wreath of ancient kings of the same color,
between the two wings of yellow or gold is placed a martlett
like those on the shield, but having feet and beak looking
toward dexter side. (See Hudson and Mohawk Families)

Johannes, b. in Holland, was the progenitor of the family
in America; he had two sons, Francis and Jacques (Jaacs or
Jacob). The latter was enrolled among the "Small Burghers/ 9

: QUACKENBOSS.

The spelling of this name has been varied, and has led
to some confusion in tracing the various branches of the
family. By some it is said to have been originally Kwakel-
bosch, from Kwakd or, Quakord, meaning a quail and bosch,
a forest The name appears once with the prefix of Van,
which would mean of the quail-forest Another form is
Quakkenbos, from quakken or quaken, which means to croak
as a frog and bosch or bos, a bush; this would make the
word to mean the quaking bush.

Different branches seem to have adopted whatever form
their fancy dictated, as these various forms are all found,
Quaken, Qaucken, Kwakken, Kwaeken and Kwaklen, also
Kwacklen, each with the termination bosch or boss or bos.
Albany and New Brunswick families, also New Jersey pre-

Quackenboss or Bosch.

Pieter, the first to come to America, was here before 1688;
m. Martje — . He was a brickmaker and owned a kiln and
yard at Albany . He m. in Holland. Their dan., Maritje, was the

the President
. It is a source of regret that there is no Genealogy of this
family published, as it has been impossible to determine the
line of descent of a number of this name who intermarried
with the Van Burens.

ROOSA.

The American ancestor, Albert Heymans, landed in New
Amsterdam April, 1660. He came in the ship Spotted Caw %
as found in Documentary History of New York, in VoL 3,
p. 56. Albert Heymans was an agriculturist from Gelder-
land ; his wife was Wyntie Allard or Aliens. They brought
with them eight children. They settled in Esopus district
at Wiltwyck, now known as Kingston.

He was a man of wealth for those days, bringing consid-
erable property from Holland, and he speedily "Occupied an
influential position in the new settlement" Albert Heymans
Roose, Evert Pels, and Cornelia Barnetsen Slecht were ap-
pointed the first three Schepens or Magistrates for Kingston.

In 1661 Roosa was one of three commissioners to enclose
the new village at the Esopus called Hurley. At the destruc-
tion of Hurley, June 7, 1663, by the Indians two of Roosa's
children with 43 others, women and children were taken cap-
tive. Roosa is cited as a leader and director of events in the
early history of the Esopus. Roosa was prominent in a riot
in 1667 and was with others sentenced to banishment, but
Governor Francis Lovelace restored him to favor and in

300 HlSTOEY OF CORNELIS MaESSSN VAN BtJBBH

1669 appointed him and Louis Da Bois two of the Overseers
for Hurley. In 1673 h* wu confirmed as one of the officers
at Esopus by Governor Anthony Colve and described as
"Capt Albert Heymans, who had been prominent in the riot
of 1667." . His name appears with others in the petition to
Sir Edmund Andros, Governor of New York, praying he
would assist them in procuring a minister for Esopus, "that
can preach bothe Inglish and Dutche, which will bee most
fitting for this place, it being in its minority." He served
in the military forces as mustering officer and Apr. 5, 1670,
at a military rendezvous at Marbletown he served as Sergeant
of Captain Henry Pawling's Company, and in 1673 he was
Captain of a Company recruited from Hurley and Marble-
town. He d. at Hurley Feb. 27, 1679. His widow secured
a grant of yao acres of land at Hurley. Children:

ford, Holland; in 1654 his father was a resident of Amster-
dam, Holland, and perhaps it was from there he came to
America. He d. in Schenectady in 1689. He came to Bever-
wyck and became a prosperous Indian trader and a brewer.
The story is told that in 1648 he transgressed the law by
selling arms and ammunition to the Indians. He was tried
by order of Governor Stuyvesant and sentenced to banish-
ment for five years and the confiscation of all his property;
several noted citizens interested themselves in his behalf
and succeeded in having the banishment clause annulled,
but the property confiscation was carried out It is further
stated that later on he turned the tables by sending a com-
plaint against Stuyvesant to the States General. (Hudson
and Mohawk Families.)

His Will, made May ao, 1688, devised property valued
at StMtea guilders ($23,000) showing that he must have
acquired the right to possess property after the satisfaction
of his sentence and also that he poss es s ed great ability to
have acquired such vast possessions, as his fortune was ex-
ceeded only by those of a few Patroons or men of high official
rank. He m. Jannetje Segers, a dau. of Cornelius Segerse

widow of Hulmer Otten, by whom the had. had a dan. Trentjc
Otten, for whom special arrangements and contracts at the time
of the second marriage were made to safe guard her interests
as he had property in Holland and America.

Ryer settled in Schenectady and was one of the five patentees
of the patent granted in 1684. 1° I 7°° he was the sole survivor
of the original owners of the township, so saving a few forms, the
80,000 acres o£ Schenectady came under the control of Ryer.
This one man power became distasteful to the people who peti-
tioned for and gained a new Charter which gave them the power
of choosing five trustees for a term of three years.

Ryer nevertheless held the fort stubbornly, by right of the
first Charter, which had not yet expired. The conflict lasted for
over one hundred years and was finally settled by the New York
Legislature which gave power into the hands of the Mayor, Alder*
man, and Commonality of Schenectady, Mar. 26, 1797.

In 1690, Ryer was a member of the Provincial Assembly from
Albany County, and a Justice of the peace.

In 1700, he was appointed assistant to Judge of Court of
Common Appeals. He had mills at Schuylersburg. He was a
man of unusual ability, of firm will, undaunted courage and great
power of endurance. His will was made Apr. 5, 1717 ; be d. Feb.

*

VAN ALSTYNE.

According to the records in Holland, the family can be traced
under different names to the crowning of "Otho" A. D. 936. The
family first aooears in the name of Ralsko which it abandoned
to take that of Wartenberg, which it bore for several centuries.
Jean Ralsko, who d. in Flanders, in 1236, built the Chateau de
Waldstein, a name which he took to distinguish himself from his
brother who bore the name of Wartenberg.

The family has been traced under the name of Balstein, in
Spain, Vallenstem, in France, Halsteyn, in Flanders, and Van
Alstein, in Holland.

Allied Families 311

From Waldstem, the name changed to Wallenstein, Walstein,
Valstem, and finally to Van Alstein. In the early records in
America, the name appears as Van Aelstyne, Van Aalsteyn, Van
Alstyn, Van Alstein, Van Alstyne, and Van Alstine; at present
there are three ways of spelling current among the descendants,
Van Alstine, Van Alstyne, and Van Alstyn.

The family possessed two well known characteristics, 'Trust
in God and persevering industry.* 1 In Flanders they were loyal
to the church of Rome. In Holland, to the Reformation of Luth-
er, and later history illustrates the measure and courage of their
convictions as to their true meaning of Religion and its proper
method of administration.

In America the family are self-reliant in thought and action
as are those who remained in the Fatherland Independent
in Politics, and Religion, making good citizens, ready defenders
of home, and country of adoption. None of them are very rich
nor very poor.

The direct ancestor of the American family was in New Am-
sterdam as early as 1646. His wife was Dirckeje Harmense.
He had sons, Marten, Abraham, Lambert, Isaac, and perhaps
others.

JAN MARTENSEN VAN ALSTYNE, and his wife, Dirck-
en Hermanse, had a son, Marten, bap. at New York, July 18,
1655. Jan was known as "de Wever" or the weaver, and in 1657
was living at Albany where he owned a house and lot. In 1663
and 1667 he patented land at Kingston, and in 1664 was a tenant
of Vokkert, Jansz, and Jan Thomasz, upon Island Schodack.
(Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts, p. 826). In 1671 he bought
a farm back of Kinderhook, where he and his wife resided in
167& He <L there 1698.

In 1697, Jan de Weaver was a resident in "Renselaerswyck or
the Colonic" with two children and no women in his family.
(Van Deursen Genealogy).

He was soon a marked man for his opinions, and early in 1776,
was made a prisoner, with sixteen others and kept confined for
sixteen days. Early in 1777, he was obliged to flee from his
home to Canada, and joined General Burgqyne in Sept, 1777,
leaving his wife and three children at Kinderhook. In 1778 he
returned to New York, and wrote his wife to join him in that
city. While there he served as Captain of Battcaux men, and
afterwards as Major of Associated Loyalists. He did duty at
Smithtown, Long Island, was pensioned on half pay as Captain*
His estate was sequestered, and on Dec 13, 1779, h** wife peti-
tioned Governor Clinton for passports for herself and children
to join her husband in New York where he then was. This was
granted, and die journey was made in three "slays," containing
herself, three children, a negro boy of eleven years, and such wear-
ing apparel and household goods as she had been able to save,
(Clinton papers, vol, 5, pp. 418, 419). In Sept 1783, Major Van
Alstyne conducted the party of disbanded Loyalists and their
friends to Canada. They left New York in a ship guarded by
the British brig Hop*, which accompanied them into the St
Lawrence. They wintered at Sorel, on the St Lawrence, and
ascended the river in open boats die following Spring. They
reached Adolphustown, on the bay of Quinte, June 14, 1784, and

there they settled on land granted them by the British government
Major Van Alstyne owned lots 26 and 27 of this township and
acquired other property as the years passed on. He was one of
the first magistrates appointed, and in this capacity received ac-
knowledgments of claims of the Loyalists for their property con-
fiscated in the State during the Revolution, which were investi-
gated by special Commissioners appointed by the Government
He was Captain of the Fourth Town (Adolphustown) Company
of Militia, and Commissioner for supplying the inhabitants with
food

In 1792, he was elected a member of die Legislature for Len-
nox and Prince Edward Counties. As Magistrate he solemnised
many of the early marriages in the new settlement before die com-
ing of the Rev. William Losee, their first minister. He is also
said to have built the first grist mill at Glenora across the bay from
Adolphustown. (See CannifFa Settlement of Upper Canada;

VAN DEUSEN.

According to the Genealogy of the Van Deursen family re-
cently published by the Allaben Genealogy Co., to which I am
indebted for many of the items referring to the intermarriages
of the Vail Burins and Van Deusens, this family have a very
honorable and ancient ancestry : "The ancient home of the Van
Deunen family is at present a small village of 407 inhabitants,
called Deurne-les (near) Diest, in the South Netherlands (Bel-
gian) Province, Brabandt"

The earliest inhabitants of die county adjacent were a Celtic
tribe, the Beiges. The name Deursen itself keeps the memory
of thete early Celts alive. The word "Dur" means "water," of
which "Deursen" is a locative form, "a place by the water." "In
1 196, during the time of the third crusade, we find mentioned
a Hendricus 4 Doersne (H end rick van Doersen)." "It is not un-

326 History of Corn *us Mabssin Van Buibk

likely that he was in the crusade and that the cross in the Coat-of-
Arms was taken up by him." "During the next, the thirteenth
century, members of the family are frequently found in the
'meyery van's Hertogen-bosch' (the majorate of Boise-le-Duc),
the part of Brabant in which Deursen lies and where the lords
of Van Deusen kept up a kind of sovereign independency until
the year: of 1325." "On the 1st of March, 1325, Govert Van
Doorsen acknowledged for his leige-lord, Jan. 3, the noblest
duke Brabant ever had." "Govert Van Doorsen received bade
his ancestral property immediately in 1325 as a her edi t a r y feudal-
ity and it thus remained in the male line until the end of the
16th century."

"Under Jan the Third's daughter, Duchess Johanna, who died
in December, 1406, Jan Van Deursen, possibly the grandsoa or
great-grandson of Govert became lord of Deursen. He married
in 1419, Aleid van Bloemensweerde, and from this time on there
is no break in the family line down to Abraham Pietersen van
Deursen of 1607, and through him down to the American pos-
terity/*

"So far as can be ascertained the following is the line of
descent:

JAN, who m. Aleid van Bloemensweerde. Their son, ~

JAN, m. Aleid van Dbmpsdaer; bad a son,

JAN, who m. Wilelmina van Zoudenbalg, their son,

NICOLAS, who m. Machtdd Proeys, their son, x "

JAN WIT J.EM, who m. a dau. of Gerritt van Heusden, their

JAN, who m. Elisabeth Van Heusden. This Jan was alive
in 1550; his son was

HENDRICK, who was b. in the old Castle. He Is supposed
to have been the first Protestant in the family. His wife was
Maria Rutgers; their son,

WILLEM, who m. Elisabeth Gysberts, and bad a son, -

PIETER, who moved from Asperen to the Province of Hol-
land in 1581 and became Magistrate in Haarlem in 1583; his son,

ABRAHAM was b. in Haarlem and bap. there Nov. n, 1607,
He m. Dec. 9, 1629, Tryntje Melchiors, also of Haarlem, and
soon after emigrated to America. They had six children."

Allied Families \ 327

"It is probable that Abraham Pietersen and his. wife left Haar-
lem for America very soon after their m. as no baptismal records
of any of their children are found at that place between 1630
and 1635, a °d he ** known to have been in New Amsterdam,
now New York, in 1636, when he was recorded as 'of Haarlem.' "
There is a great deal of interesting matter relating to Abraham
in the Van Deursen book, but space will not permit me to copy
more, and I refer the reader to that most interesting book. Hie
names of their children were as follows:

Tettwis (Matthew), b. about 1631; m. about 1653, Helena
Robberts; it is from this couple that those who m. Van
Burens are descended.

Marytje, b. about 1632 ; m. (1) 1651, Thomas Jansen Mingael,
who d. about 1661 or 1662 ; m. (2) Evert Jansen Wendell

Isaac, b. about 1635; m. Apr. 5, 1659, at New Amsterdam,
Jannetje Jans.

Jacob, b. about 1638; m. Sept 23, 1663, Catalyntje Van
Elsant

Pieter, bap. March 23, 1642; sps. Da Eveiardus Bogardus,
Olof Stephensen Van Courtlant, Jan Janazen Dam, Mar-

Teuwis Abrahamsen Van Deursen early removed to Bever-

1667 he removed to Claverack.

Munsell and Talcott both state, however, that he lived at
Albany until 170a On June 26, 1677, he deeded a house and
lot to Paulus Martensen Van Benthuysen, die property being
afterwards transferred by Van Benthuysen to Harme Jansen
Lyndrayer. The following is an extract of the latter deed:

The name was first spelled Vectum and means a place of
fighting, and has been prominent in Roman Church and other
records at Utrecht, Holland, from A. D. 1200 to the present.
A fort now stands where at one time a Roman camp was
placed called Vechten, and there have been recovered hun-
dreds of Roman relics from the situation. This place is near
a crossing of the Rhine. The river Vecht has its origin
nearby.

Issuing out of a ducal coronet, a pair of eagle's wings erect,

VOSBURGH.

The name of Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh appears in
the records as a settler in the colony of Rensselaerswyck as
early as Aug., 1649; beginning with Easter in 165 1, he paid
rent to the Patroon of 16 florins a year for a house lot, north
of the Pitroon's house. In the "Oath to the Patroon, taken
by all the householders and free men of the Colonie, Nov.
23, 1651," we find .among the names Abraham Pietersze Voa-
burg. On Apr. 15, 1652, he was given permission by the
Court to continue building his house, notwithstanding the
location. On the same day Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh
and Derrick Jannsen were appointed surveyors of buildings;
they were sworn two days later. The duties of Abraham
Pietersen Vosburgh as surveyor of buildings also appear to

354 History or Cobnelts Maissbm Van Bubin

have included the surveying of land. He held this office up
to 1654 and probably later. He was by trade a carpenter,
and he contracted with the authorities to build the first
bridges at Beverwyck.

Mar. 17, 1654, a warrant was issued to the treasurer "in
favor of Abraham* Pietersen Vosburgh, carpenter, to the
amount qf aoo florins, for building two bridges." Through
his occupation as carpenter and bridge builder, Abraham
Pietersen Vosburgh became a sawmill operator and owner.
Hans Jansz Enchiuys or Hans Jansz from Rotterdam, con*
ducted several sawmills in the colony. On Sept 30, 1656,
they obtained a lease of the water power on the creek south
of the farm of Jan Barentsen Wemp. The lease commenced
Jan. 1, 1657, and ran for six successive years ; rent, zoo guild-
ers or 100 good merchantable boards and two pair of fowls
each year. A condition of the lease was that the lessees were
not to sell liquor to the Indians. A sawmill was erected on
the creek which was later known as Wynant*s Kit Hans
Jansz was more or less a silent partner, at least his name never
appears again in the records of this enterprise. On Jan. *)>
1657, Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh proposed to sell his house
and lot in Beverwyck to the highest bidder. The lot was 10
rods deep and 4 rods wide; it was next to Thomas Clabborfs
(Chambers) lot- This paper is imperfect and unexecuted and
there is no evidence that sale was made; but it is important
as it shows that Thomas Chambers was his neighbor, this
being the Thomas Chambers who was one of the early set-
tlers of Esopus (Wiltwyck or Kingston).

The last events of Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh's life are
found in the history of Esopus. Due to the fact of the In-
dians having been given liquor, a serious disturbance devel-
oped and an Indian was killed ; they attacked the settlers and
thirteen were taken as prisoners by the Indians, among whom
was "a carpenter, Abraham by name." This occurred on Sun-
day, Sept 21, 1659, which date is taken as the date of his
death as it is not known how soon thereafter he was killed.
Although Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh met his death in the
prime of manhood, probably under forty years of age, his
widow, Geertruy Pieterse, a sister of Barent Pietersen

Allied Families 355

Coeymans, the miller of Norman's Kil, reared his three sons
who became the progenitors of the thousands who bear the
name of Vosburgh. Much interesting material can be found
relating to her in the history of Fort Orange or Albany.
The children of Abraham Pietersen Vosburgh and his wife
Geertruy Pieterse Coeymans were as follows :

Pieter, b. about 1652 ; m. Jannetje Barentse.

Jacob, b. about 1654; d. 1732; m. Dorothea Janse Van
Alstyne.

Marietje, b. about 1656; d. before 1698; m. Oct 20, 1689,
Isaac Jansen Van Alstyne.

Isaac, b. about 1658; d. 1760-65; m. Aug. 1, 1686, at Al-
bany, Annetje Jans Goes.

Abraham, b. about 1660; doubtful, as there are no records
concerning him.

PIETER ABRAHAMSEN VOSBURGH, the eldest son
of Abraham Pietersen, was the last to have children and is
the progenitor of the smallest branch of the family. He m.
Jannetje Barentse, dau. of Barent Meyntersen and his wife
Eytje; the marriage took place as early as 1689 and prob-
ably before 1683.

Pieter made his will before he had any children. There
is no record of its probate. On Dec 9, 1676, a lease is re-
corded from Louwrens Van Alen to Pieter Vosburgh for
five Morgans of land at Kinderhook (a Morgan was two
acres), and also a piece called the Achterland (rear tract)
in the Groot Stuck; the lease ran for sixty years, commenc-
ing from Aug., 1676.

He was one of the grantees of the Kinderhook Patent,
receiving six allotments. On July 6, 1713, Pieter Vosburgh,
Johannis Van Alen and Pieter Van Buren obtained from
Jesina Gardenier and her husband Evert Wheeler "the water
Course of a Certain Kil or Creek, called or known by the
name of Valleties kill, for them to Erect and build a Saw mill
thereon, above the bridge which leads to Pompoenick from
groot Stuck." This land was at Valatie.

Pieter Vosburgh was sworn in on May 27, 1691, as one
of the Justices of Albany city and county. He held court at

356 History of Caunus Maessen Vak Buixn

* -

Kinderhook ; according to the records, he held this office until
1696 and probably later. On June 8, 1703, a certificate of the
election of Pieter Vosburgh, Lambert Jansen and Pieter Vcr-
slyke as Trustees of the town of Kinderhook was filed at
Albany. He held this office until 2707 and probably later.
He was elected an Elder of the Kinderhook Church in 1716.
The last time his name appears in the records is among the
freeholders and inhabitants of the Kinderhook, in the year
of 1730; at this time he was about seventy years old. No
record of his death has-been found. Children:

and his eldest son, Abraham, was thus the first grandchild
of Abraham Pietersen and Geertruy Vosburgh.

Jacob set up an establishment for himself when he leased
from Louwrens Van Alen, on May 7, 1678, at Kinderhook,
a farm and one-half of an island occupied by Pieter Moree.
The lease ran for six years. The homestead, which con-
sisted of a house, barn and two haystacks, was surrounded
by a fence, valued at 31 whole merchantable beaverskins at
8 guilders the piece.

His name was affixed to the lease as Jacob' Abrahamse
Vosburgh and his mark, made by himself, appears as I. A.
V. B. This lease fixes approximately the date of his marriage
to Dorothea Janse Van Alstyne.

From 1677 *° I 68a, a number of unimportant suits appear
in the court records. On Aug. 6, 1683, he contributed to the
support of the new minister at Albany, Dominie Godfridus
Dellius, "one and one half pieces of eight." On the con-
tribution list his name appears just below that of his mother,
another proof of his early marriage and indicating that he
was the head of a family.

On July 16, 1 68 1, he bought from Marten Cornelisen Vas,
"a bouwery at Kinderhook," consisting of the one-fourth part
of the Groote Stuck, containing a house and barn and also
the plow and harrow on the premises.

On Jan. 4, 1681, he appeared in court at Albany and took
the oath of Constable of Kinderhook, for one year or until
further orders. He held this office until May 5, 1685, when
he was relieved from the duties, with the thanks of the Court
for his services. This is the last time his name appears in
the Albany records in connection with Kinderhook. He was
one of the grantees of the Kinderhook Patent, but no record
can be found of the transfer of the several allotments made
to him. At some time between 1685 and 1697, be removed
to Livingston Manor, where he was one of the first settlers.
His house appears upon a map of Livingston Manor made on
the 20th day of Oct., 1714, by John Beatty, deputy surveyor.
It was situated on the bank of Roeloff Jansen's kil, about
five or six miles southeast of the manor house.

Jacob Vosburgh was listed among the inhabitants of
Dutchess County, in the census of 1714. Four of his sons,
Abraham, Jan, Dirk, and Marten, were all members of the
Independent Company of the Manor of Livingston, as it was
mustered at the Manor House on Nov. 30, 171 5.

On July 4, 1722, he was elected one of the Elders of the
Linlithgo Church and was installed the following day; he
held this office until his death. On Oct. 15, 1732, Coenrat
Ham was installed as an Elder there "in the place of the de-
ceased Jacob Vosburgh/' Thus approximately is established
the date of his death; he was about eighty years of age at
the time. He was the progenitor of the largest branch of
the Vosburgh family. In the early generations his descen-
dants remained principally near where he settled; that is, on
Livingston Manor and in upper Dutchess County.

As before stated, he married Dorothea Janse Van Al-
styne, dau. of Jan Martensen de Wever and Derckien Her-
mans*, his wife. Children :

Abraham, b. about 1680; m. about 1705, Claartje Bressy.
Jan, b. about 1683; m. about 171 5, Cornelia Knickerbocker.

ISAAC VOSBURGH, the youngest of the three brothers,
was b. about 1658. He is the progenitor of a large branch
of the family, a restless branch, strongly characterized with
the pioneer instincts. His descendants within two genera*
tiona were found in Massachusetts, Connecticut; Vermont,
the Mohawk Valley and the Province of Quebec The Al-
bany and Coxsaclde members of the family originate through
line. Isaac first appears in the Albany court records
still a minor. On Sept 5, 1676, his brother Pieter sued
Jan Thysen Goes, for an assault upon Isaac, committed in
Pieter's barn. The wife of Jan Thysen saw Isaac chasing
her husband's cows; she told Jan Thysen, whereupon he
jumped over the fence and according to his own testimony,
admitted that he had hit the lad (Isaac) once. It appeared
in the testimony that the fence was in bad condition and that
Jan Thysen's cows were on the Vosburgh land at the time
that Isaac was chasing them. Goes was fined for the assault
and also he had to pay the costs of the action.

Before his marriage Isaac lived with his brother Pieter
on the homestead farm on the "Groot Stuck." One of the
provisions of Pieter's will, made in 1690 was that his "brother
Isak shall have half of the land of the farm at the Kinderhook,
situated on the Grote Stuck, provided he pay half of what
is still due on account of the farm."

On Aug. i, 1686, the first banns were pronounced at Al-
bany of the marriage of Isaac Vosburgh and Annatje Jans
Goes, dau. of Jan Thysen Goes, mentioned above. On Apr.
a» 1713* Pieter sold to Isaac a part of the land on Kinderhook
Creek, at Pomponick, and Isaac also bought adjoining land
from Dirck Wessels Ten Broeck, which he shortly sold to
Abraham Van Alstyne. There is no record of Isaac's owning
land before 1713. The names of Isaac and Pieter Vosburgh
appear in the several lists of the inhabitants of Kinderhook.

Isaac was a private in Capt. Abraham Van Alstyne's com-
pany, according to the muster roll, dated Sept. 17, 1715.

Isaac Vosburgh lived probably to the advanced age of
105 years, and died at Kinderhook about 1760-65. The Bal-
ance and Columbian Repository was a weekly paper published
at Hudson, N. Y. In its early numbers appears a very in-
teresting serial article entitled: "Notes on the Natural His-
tory of Kinderhook." In the part of this serial published on
Feb. 9, 1802, in Vol. I, No. 6, the author mentions that one
of the characteristics of the town is the longevity of the in-
habitants and cites the following instances : "Isaac Vosburgh,
of this place was 105 years of age when he died ; Eliza Vos-
burgh was 93; another woman of the same name was 95."
This article was written before 1802. A careful analysis of
all the known Isaacs in the Vosburgh family leaves only two
that the article can refer to. I do not hesitate to affirm that
it is almost a certainty that the Isaac written of here is the
subject of this sketch. As before stated, Isaac was b. about
1658; d. about 1760-65; m. Aug. 1, 1686, at Albany, Annetje

WILLIAMS.

WILLIAM WILLIAMS, the ancestor of the Columbia
County family, came with his two sons from Wales. It is not
known just the year they came, but they were here at the
time of the outbreak of the last French war, as it is known
that the father, William Williams, enlisted in the Colonial
service. As he never returned, it is supposed that he was lost
in the bloody defeat of the ill-fated forces of Braddock in his
attack on Fort Duquesne.

Of the two sons, David settled in Schoharie County.
Aaron m. Mary Lampman, a sister of Peter Lampman. He

364 History o* Coinklis Mabssbh Van Bubsm

leased and cleared a new farm a little East of Copake Lake.
He built a small house consisting of only one room and a loft
with no floor but the ground, but in this house he reared a.
family of twelve children and they and their descendants have
always borne an honorable part in the history of that part
of Columbia County. The names of the children were: Wil-
liam; Elizabeth; Casperas; David; Peter; Nelly; Cornelius;
Henry; Lannah; Clary; Hannah, and John. It is from the
youngest son, John, that the Editor traces her descent He
