The  Field-Book,  which  is  the  foundation  of  this  vohimo, 
comprises  the  boundaries  of  the  okl  township  of  Bergen  and  of 
the  several  lots  therein  patented  to  individuals,  and  of  the  com- 
mon lands  allotted  and  partitioned  by  the  Commission  of  1704.  It 
is  the  manuscript  record  of  a  survey  which,  though  intricate,  is 
accurate,  exhaustive,  and  authoritative ;  while  the  adjudications  of 
ownership,  as  therein  contained,  have  never  been  questioned.  On 
questions  of  title  it  has  always  been  held  in  high  estimation, — in 
fact,  final  and  conclusive.  From  much  use,  the  maps  are  becom- 
ing somewhat  defaced,  and  the  book  worn  and  confused  through 
the  inaccurate  copying,  ignorant  arrangement,  and  careless  bind- 
ing of  several  leaves  which  had  become  separated  from  the  work. 
Impressed  with  these  facts,  the  Board  of  Chosen  Freeholders 
decided  to  do  something  for  the  preservation  of  these  important 
documents.  After  mature  reflection,  the  plan  of  simple  reproduc- 
tion, which  at  first  suggested  itself,  was  abandoned,  and  the 
following  commendable  action  taken  by  the  Board  on  the  12th  of 
January,  1871  : — 

yfUereai,  The  greatly  increased  values  of  land  in  tlie  County  are  directing 
closer  attention  than  formerly  to  titles  ;  and, 

Wliereas,  The  Field-Book  and  Maps  made  under  the  direction  of  the  Com- 
mission of  1764  are  regarded  as  quite  conclusive  upon  questions  of  title  up  to 
that  time,  and  are,  from  their  great  age  and  continual  use,  in  such  a  ruinous  con- 
dition that  this  Board  should  take  prompt  action  for  their  preservation  before  it 
is  too  late  ;  and. 


Vlll  P  R  K  F  A  C  E  . 

WJicrenn,  It  would  be  of  great  value  to  the  public  generally,  and  land-owners 
in  the  County  particularly,  that  the  same  should  be  edited  and  published  in 
book  form,  instead  of  being  copied  ;  therefore, 

Jti'solvcd,  That  a  committee  of  three  be  appointed,  with  jiower  to  secure  the 
services  of  some  competent  person  to  edit  and  publish  the  Field-Book,  and 
Maps  accompanying  the  same,  in  book  form. 

The  coinmittee,  consisting-  of  Jeremiah  B.  Cleveland,  Henry  D. 
Van  Nostrand,  and  John  M.  Wilson,  appointed  under  these  resolu- 
tions, requested  the  undersigned  to  undertake  the  work.  This 
request  was  acceded  to,  with  a  fidl  appreciation  of  the  magnitude 
of  the  task,  and  with  the  consciousness  that,  if  properly  performed, 
the  result  would  be  of  great  utility,  though  it  might  not  be 
pecuniarily  i^rofitable,  nor  in  a  general  sense  popular. 

It  cannot  be  denied  that  the  tenacity  with  which,  until  a  recent 
period,  the  descendants  of  the  original  owners  had  retained 
their  ancestral  acres,  has  rendered  the  work  easier  than  it  otherwise 
would  have  been.  Nevertheless,  the  subject  has  grown  much 
beyond  what  was  originally  contemplated.  New  matter  has  been 
found,  unrecorded  deeds  and  unproved  wills  have  been  brought 
from  their  hiding-places,  and  even  a  New  Field-Book  and  Maps, 
complete  and  in  good  preservation,  which,  in  their  quiet  sleep  in 
the  old  garret,  had  outlived  the  memory  of  man,  are  now  given  to 
the  inspection  of  the  curious.  Of  the  great  assistance  they  will 
be  to  the  conveyancer  there  can  be  no  doubt. 

Much  care  has  been  taken  to  reproduce  the  text  of  the  Field- 
Book  without  the  slightest  variation,  even  in  orthography  or  punc- 
tuation. The  original  paging  has  been  preserved  in  the  margin  of 
this  volume,  and  all  references  in  the  body  of  the  work  are  to  the 
marginal  pages.  The  object,  from  the  beginning,  has  been  to  make 
the  volume  one  of  acciu-acy  and  usefulness,  rather  than  of  dis- 
play of  antiquarian  research.  The  opening  chapters  give  a  brief 
history  of  the  titles  under  the  Dutch,  the  King,  and  Lords  Proprie- 
tors, as  well  as  the  disputes  concerning  the  common  lands  which 
led  to  the  intervention  of  the  Legislatiu-e,  and  their  allotment. 
The  gxeater  part  of  the  labor  performed  in  the  preparation  of  the 


PREFACE.  ix 

work  has  been  expended  in  notes  to  the  several  lots  described  in 

the  FlELD-BOOK. 

Though  not  within  the  scojie  of  the  original  plan,  it  has  been 
<leemed  advisable  to  insert  a  chapter  on  the  early  acquisition  and 
ownership  of  New  Barbadoes  I^eck,  so  far  as  the  same  now  lies 
within  the  townships  of  Harrison  and  Kearney. 

As,  untU  a  recent  period,  most  of  the  transfers  of  lands  in  the 
old  townshij)  of  Bergen  were  by  devise  or  descent,  the  conveyancer 
wdl  find  the  record  of  Marriages,  Births,  and  Deaths,  herein 
for  the  first  time  published,  of  great  use  in  his  investigations.  It  is 
taken  from  the  Eecords  of  the  Old  Bergen  Eeformed  Church,  and 
for  the  most  part  translated  form  the  Dutch.  These  records  be- 
gin in  1064,  and  as  here  published  contain  the  marriages  down  to 
1830,  the  births  to  1825,  and  the  deaths  to  1850. 

The  article  of  Mr.  Delos  E.  Culver  on  the  magnetic  needle  will 
be  useftd  to  surveyors  and  interesting  to  the  general  reader.  In 
connection  therewith  it  maybe  weU  to  insert  here  what  should  have 
been  inserted  in  another  place  :

In  the  foot-notes,  brief  sketches  of  the  patentees  have,  inmost 
instances,  been  given.  In  some  cases  these  sketches  have  been 
piu-posely  omitted  for  more  appropriate  insertion  in  the  "  History 
of  Hudson  County,"  which  is  now  in  coiu-se  of  preparation.  In 
these  foot-notes  to  the  several  patents,  allotments,  and  subdivisions, 
has  been  concentrated  all  the  information  which  could  be  obtained 


X  P  K  K  F  A  C  E  . 

concerning  eadi  lot  laid  down  and  numbered  on  the  iiuip.  For 
this  information  the  records  at  Albany,  Perth  Ainboy,  Trenton, 
Haekensack,  and  those  in  the  office  of  the  Clerk  of  the  C'ommon 
Coimcil  of  New  York,  have  been  searched.  But  few  references  to 
authorities  have  been  given,  for  the  reason  that  such  references 
would  have  occupied  no  inconsiderable  portion  of  the  volume. 
Dates  have,  in  nearly  all  instances,  been  given;  and  these,  it  is 
hoped,  wiU  be  a  sufficient  guide  in  the  investigations  of  titles. 

It  ought  not  to  be  expected,  in  a  work  of  this  character,  to  find 
an  abstract  of  every  title  in  the  Comity.  Whoever  looks  for  that 
may  as  well  leave  these  pages  unread,  for  he  will  be  disappointed. 
Yet  there  has  been  gathered  here,  and  so  arranged  as  to  bear 
upon  each  lot,  a  mass  of  facts  and  dates  which,  it  is  hoped,  will 
make  the  book  a  necessity  to  lawyers  and  conveyancers,  and  a 
source  of  gTatification  to  land-owners. 

There  can  hardly  be  a  doubt  but  that  errors  of  commission  and 
omission  will  be  discovered,  of  which  the  author  hopes  to  be 
informed.  The  few  typographical  errors  in  the  book  the  reader 
w  ill  readily  detect,  and  they  need  not,  therefore,  be  pointed  out. 

A  number  of  small  maj)S  have  been  prepared, and  inserted  in 
the  text,  for  the  piupose  of  showing  the  location  or  partition  of 
lots.  More  would  have  been  inserted  could  they  have  been 
obtained.  Considerable  trouble  was  taken  to  discover  Haring's 
Map  of  the  Bayard  Commons.  Failing  in  that,  it  has,  with  the 
assistance  of  Eichard  D.  Dodge,  been  rexiroduced.  The  Maps  which 
accompany  this  work  have  been  prepared,  with  much  labor  and 
exx^ense,  by  the  firm  of  Mallory  &  Miller  (Franklin  J.  Mallory  and 
William  W.  Miller),  city  surveyors  of  Jersey  City.  They  are 
intended  to  be,  and,  it  is  believed,  are,  facsimiles  of  the  origi- 
nals. They  will  be  enduring  monuments  to  the  abihty  and 
accuracy  of  those  enterprising  gentlemen.  On  the  Field  Map  have 
been  traced  certain  roads,  railways,  and  i)roniinent  objects,  for  the 
purpose  of  aiding  in  the  location  of  property.  These,  with  the 
descriptions  of  lots  given  in  the  foot-notes,  Avill,  it  is  thought,  be 
sufficient  for  that  purpose. 


PREFACE.  Xi 

In  conclusion,  it  may  be  well  to  remind  the  critical  reader  that 
this  volume  was  prepared  mostly  at  night,  and  its  materials 
were  gathered  in  moments  taken  from  the  hoiu-s  of  business.  It 
is  now  twelve  months  since  the  work  was  begim,  and  the  labor 
in  its  preparation  has  been  to  the  author  a  labor  of  love. 
During  this  time  he  has,  as  it  were,  lived  among  the  memories 
of  a  bygone  age.  The  imcouth  names  of  the  original  settlers  have 
become  familiar  as  household  words,  and  their  signatures  are  as 
weU  known  to  him  as  his  own.  With  this  goodly  company  he  must 
now  part  for  a  time,  committing  them,  with  their  honest  simplicity, 
and  the  book  mth  its  imperfections,  to  the  tender  mercies  of  the 
reader,  who  may  be  assured,  that,  if  the  work  meet  the  approval  of 
those  whose  experience  enables  them  to  appreciate  the  magnitude 
of  the  undertaking,  and  whose  profession  and  learning  qualify 
them  to  judge  of  its  merits,  the  author  can  hope  for  no  more.

CHAPTER  I. 

UNDER     THE     DUTCH. 

Between  1G09  and  1G14  this  part  of  the  American  Continent 
was  visited  only  by  occasional  traders.  On  the  27th  of  March, 
1614,  the  States-General,  in  compliance  with  the  wishes  of  some 
Holland  merchants,  made  an  octroy,*  giving  to  those  who  should 
discover  new  lands  a  monopoly  of  trade  with  the  same  for  four 
voyages.  Immediately  some  merchants  of  Amsterdam  and  Hoorn 
fitted  out  five  ships,  three  of  which  came  to  the  Great  River  of 
the  Manhattans,  and  thence  passed  through  the  Sound  and  along 
the  coast  as  far  east  as  Cape  Cod.  When  the  report  of  these 
voyages  was  made  at  home,  the  merchants  interested  in  the 
vessels  obtained  from  the  States-General,  October  11,  1G14,  a 
monopoly  of  the  trade  with  '^  New  Netherland  ■'  for  four  voyages 
within  a  period  of  three  years,  dating  from  January  1,  1615. 
They  assumed  the  name  of  "  The  United  New  Netherland  Com- 
pany." On  the  expiration  of  the  charter,  January  1,  1618,  the 
company  did  not  obtain  a  renewal  thereof,  but  the  individual 
members  of  the  company,  by  special  license,  continued  to  control 
the  trade  of  which  they  previously  had  the  monopoly. 

"  The  Dutch  West  India  Company  "  was  chartered  June  3, 
1621.  Its  powers  of  government  were  vested  in  five  chambers, 
but  its  general  supervision  was  lodged  in  nineteen  delegates  from 
the  five  chambers  known  as  the  ''  Assembly  of  XIX."  It  was 
not,  however,  until  1623  that  any  movement  was  made  looking  to 

c-  ^  grant.

an  active  and  systematized  trade  witli  this  country.  In  1()24  Peter 
Minuit  came  out  as  Director-General.  From  this  time  until  1G29 
the  company  made  no  attempt  to  establish  permanent  settlements, 
but  bent  every  energy  to  build  up  a  profitable  trade  with  the  natives. 
On  June  7,  1629,  an  earnest  effort  was  put  forth  to  induce  persons 
to  settle  in  the  country,  and  measures  adopted  at  the  same  time  to 
secure  the  advantages  of  such  settlements  to  the  directors  of  the  com- 
pany.    The  "  Assembly  of  XIX."  agreed  upon  what  they  called, 

'^  FREEDOMS    AND    EXEMPTIONS, 

granted  by  the  '  Assembly  of  XIX.'  of  the  Privileged  West 
India  Company,  to  all  such  as  shall  plant  any  colonies  in  New 
Netherland." 

Among  other  articles,  not  necessary  to    be  mentioned  here, 
were  the  following : 

III. — All  such  shall  be  acknowledged  Patroons  of  New  Netherland  who 
shall,  within  the  space  of  four  years  next  after  they  have  given 
notice  to  any  of  the  Chambers  of  the  Company  here,  or  to  the 
Commander  or  Council  there,  undertake  to  plant  a  colonie  there 
of  tifty  souls,  upwards  of  fifteen  years  old ;  one-fourth  part  -within 
one  year,  and  within  three  years  after  the  sending  of  the  first,  mak- 
ing together  four  years,  the  remainder,  to  the  full  number  of  fifty 
persons,  to  be  shipped  from  hence,  on  pain,  in  case  of  wilful  neglect, 
of  being  deprived  of  the  privileges  obtained.         *  * 

V. — The  Patroons,  by  virtue  of  their  power,  shall  and  mrybe  permitted, 
at  such  places  as  they  shall  settle  their  colonies,  to  extend  their  limits 
four  miles*  along  the  shore,  that  is,  on  one  side  of  a  navigable  river, 
or  two  miles  6n  each  side  of  a  river,  and  so  far  into  the  country  as 
the  situation  of  the  occupiers  will  permit.  *  * 

VI. — They  shall  forever  possess  and  enjoy  all  the  lands  lying  within  the 
aforesaid  hmits,  together  with  the  fruits,  rights,  minerals,  rivers,  and 
fountains  thereof;  as  also  the  chief  command  and  lower  jurisdic- 
tions, fishing,  fowling,  and  grinding,  to  the  exclusion  of  all  others, 
to  be  holden  from  the  Company  as  a  perpetual  inheritance,  without 
it  ever  devolving  again  to  the  Company,  and  in  case  it  should  de- 
volve, to  be  redeemed  and  repossessed  with  twenty  guilders  per 
colony,  to  be  paid  to  this  Company,  at  the  Chamber  here,  or  to  their 
Commander  there,  within  a  year  and  six  weeks  after  the  same  occurs, 
each  at  the  Chamber  where  he  originally  sailed  from. 

******* 

XXVI. — Whosoever  shall  settle  any  colonie  out  of  the  limits  of  the 
Manhattes  Island  shall  be  obliged  to  satisfy  the  Indians  for  the  land 
they  shall  settle  upon,  and  they  may  extend  or  enlarge  the  limits  of 
their  colonies  if  they  settle  a  proportionate  number  of  colonists 
thereon.

The  directors  were  not  slow,  in  fact  some  of  them  did  not 
wait  for  the  ratification  of  this  charter,  to  secure  the  advantages 
here  held  out.  Godyn  and  Bloemmaert  took  up  a  large  tract 
near  Cape  Henlopen,  also  a  tract  sixteen  miles  square  at  Cape 
May.  Kiliaen  van  Rensselaer  secured  the  territory  near  Fort 
Orange.  The  Director-General  and  Council  of  New  Netherland, 
acting  for  Burgomaster  Michael  Pauw,  Lord  of  Achtienhoven, 
obtained  the  following  deeds  for  lands  in  this  county  :

Thus  Paiiw  became  the  owner  of  all  the  land  east  of  the 
hill  and  the  mill  creek,  lying-  between  the  kil  of  Hoboken  on 
the  north  and  Communipaw  Bay  on  the  south.  These  bounds  are 
sufficiently  expressed  and  are  well  known.  Yet  he  seems  to  have 
been  the  owner  of  "  Gemoenepaen,"  and  it  was  in  his  colony. 
By  what  right,  we  do  not  know.  There  is  no  record  that  he 
bought  of  the  Indians  any  land  besides  Hoboken,  Ahasimus,  and 
Aressick  ;  and  yet,  for  all  we  know,  he  may  have  claimed,  without 
extinguishing  the  Indian  title,  the  whole  peninsula  down  to  the 
kills,  as  he  certainly  extended  his  ownership  over  to  Staten 
Island.*  His  own  name  was  given  to  his  possessions,  and  the 
district  was  known  as  Pavonia. 

The  directors  who  had  failed  to  become  patroons  and  owners 
of  large  and  valuable  tracts  became  jealous  of  those  who  had 
been  successful,  and  soon  raised  dissensions.  This  caused  the 
patroons  to  share  their  advantages  with  others  of  the  directors. 
Pauw  alone  refused  to  divide.  He  held  on  with  great  tenacity 
to  his  valuable  territory,  yet  does  not  seem  to  have  complied  with 
Article  III.  of  the  "  Freedoms  and  Exemptions"  in  its  settlement. 
After  a  prolonged  controversy  Avith  the  XIX.,  he  finally  trans- 
ferred to  the  company  all  of  his  right  and  title  to  Pavonia  for 
26,000  florins.  This  probably  took  place  in  1637,  certainly 
before  July,  1638.t 

During  the  next  twenty-six  years  a  number  of  grants  of  land 
in  this  county  were  made,  but,  in  order  to  preserve  a  connected 
history  of  the  general  title,  we  will  leave  the  particular  grants  for 
"  Notes  to  the  Field  Book." 

Notwithstanding  the  deeds  to  Pauw,  Gov.  Stuyvesant  was 
not  satisfied  that  the  title  of  the  Dutch  to  all  the  land  in  this 
county,  east  of  the  Ilackensack  River,  was  perfect.  In  order, 
therefore,  as  well  to  quiet  the  minds  of  the  Indians  as  to  secure 
the  land  not  covered  by  Pauw's  deed,  he  obtained  the  following 
deed  : 

"  This  day,  the  date  hereunder  written,  appeared  before  the  Honor- 
able Director-General,  Petrus  Stuyvesant,  and  the  gentlemen  of  the 
Council  of  New  Netherlandt,  at  the  Council  Chamber,  in  the  Fort

the  right  owners  of  the  lands  lying  on  the  West  side  of  the  North  River,

hended, in  such  manner  as  the  aforementioned  parcel  of  lands  are  sur-

the  aforesaid  direct  line  from  the  Rock  above  Wiehacken,  till  above  Sis-

absolutely,  to  sell  unto  the  Director-General  and  Council,  upon  which 
the  General  and  Council  on  the  one  side,  and  the  aforesaid  Indians,  for 
themselves  and  them  that  are  absent,  have  accorded  and  agreed  in  the 
manner  following,  in  the  presence  of  the  hereafter  mentioned  Christian 
and  Indian  witnesses  :  The  aforesaid  Indians  do  acknowledge  to  have 
sold,  resigned,  and  transported,  as  they  do,  by  these  presents,  all  the  lands 
heretofore  mentioned,  to  the  aforesaid  Director-General  and  Council  and 
their  successors,  for  eighty  fathom  of  wampum,  twenty  fathom  of  cloth, 
twelve  kettles,  six  guns,  two  blankets,  one  double  kettle,  and  one  half- 
barrel  of  strong  beer.  Which  effects  they  hereby  acknowledge  to  have 
enjoyed  and  received  before  the  passing  and  signing  of  this. 

Wherefore  they  do  declare,  for  themselves  and  them  which  are 
absent,  to  resign  and  transport  the  lands  before  mentioned,  to  the  above- 
mentioned  General  and  Council,  in  full,  free,  and  perfect  propriety, 
desisting  of  all  actions  and  claims,  which  they  could  or  might  pretend, 
to  the  lands  before  mentioned — the  transporters  promise  now  or  here- 
after, not  to  make  any  pretensions  thereon  ;  but  to  keep  and  hold  this 
transport  firm,  sure,  and  inviolable.  Promising  also,  to  the  said  Director 
and  Council,  to  free  and  warrant  the  said  lands  against  all  claims  any 
other  Indians  might  pretend  to,  and  if  it  should  happen  that  in  future 
times,  any  of  the  Dutch,  by  any  Indians,  should  be  damaged  on  preten- 
sion they  were  not  fully  paid  for  the  lands  aforesaid,  they,  the  sellers,  do 
promise  to  repair  and  satisfy  the  damages.  It  is  also"  stipulated  and 
agreed,  the  aforesaid  Indians  shall  depart  and  remove  by  the  first  con- 
venient opportunity,  off  the  lands  aforesaid;  and  that  none  of  their 
nation  shall  come  and  continue  to  dwell  upon  it,  without  knowledge  and 
consent  of  the  Director-General  and  Council.  Thus  done  at  the  fort

"  We,  underwritten,  the  late  Director-General  and  Council  of  New 
Netherlandt,  hereby  certify  and  declare,  that  in  the  year  one  thousand 
six  hundred  and  sixty-one,  by  us  underwritten,  in  quality  as  aforesaid, 
have  given  and  granted  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  village  of  Bergen,  the 
lands,  with  the  meadows  thereunto  annexed,  situate  on  the  West  side 
of  the  North  River  in  Pavonia,  in  the  same  manner  as  the  same  was  by 
us  underwritten,  purchased  of  the  Indians,  and  as  the  same  was  to  us 
delivered,  by  the  said  Indians,  pursuant  to  an  instrument  of  sale  and 
delivery  thereof,  being  under  the  date  of  the  30th  of  January,  A.  D. 
one  thousand  six  hundred  and  fifty-eight ;  with  this  express  condition 
and  promise,  that  the  aforesaid  inhabitants,  of  the  before  named  village, 
shall  not  be  prejudiced  in  their  outdrift,  by  means  of  any  private  col- 
lective dwellings  (saving  only  the  right  of  the  then  already  cultivated 
farms  at  Gemoenepan).  But  that  all  such  who  have  any  lands  within 
the  district  of  the  before  named  village,  and  especially  at  Pemrepogh, 
and  Mingackque,  all  such  owners  shall  be  obliged  to  remove  their  dwell-

the  conference  held  at  Easton,  October  23,  1758,  gave  to  Governor  Bernard  two 
deeds,  releasing  all  their  rights  in  and  to  the  soil  of  New  Jersey,  for  which  they 
received  £1,000. — Smith's  Hist,  of  JV.  J.,  479.  These  deeds  were  afterwards,  at  the

should  be  permitted  to  share,  and  divide  with  the  inhabitants  of  the 
before  named  village  or  town,  in  the  common  lands  of  the  said  town, 
and  in  the  place  and  stead  of  their  lands  lying  at  Pemrepogh  and  Min- 
gack(|uie  before  named.  (And  especially  that  the  meadows  laying  near 
the  village  or  town  of  Bergen,  where  the  same  begins,  at  the  West  side 
along  Kill  van  Kol,  should  be  and  belong  to  and  for  the  use  of  the 
before  named  inhabitants  of  Bergen.) 

And  further,  we  the  underwritten,  certify  and  declare,  that  Michael 
Jansen,  deceased,  (before  or  about  the  time  that  the  aforesaid  village 
or  town  was  laid  out),  for  himself,  as  also  for  and  in  behalf  of  his 
brother-in-law,  Nicholas  Jansen  Barker,  did,  in  our  presence,  renounce 
all  the  right  they  had  to  the  pasture  ground,  laying  behind  Gemoenepan, 
for  a  common  outdrift  and  pasture  between  the  aforesaid  village  or 
town,  and  the  neighborhood  of  Gemoenepan,  before  named. 

And  lastly,  that  no  more  lands  were  given  or  granted  to  Dirck 
Clausen,  than  Rightpocques,  with  the  meadows  thereunto  belonging,  as 
by  the  ground-brief  thereof  may  further  appear. 

In  testimony  of  the  truth,  we  have  signed  these  with  our  own  hands, 
in  New  York,  the  26th  of  October,  A.  D. 

P.  St  U  YVES  ANT, 
NiCASIUS  DE  SiLLE."* 

By  what  instrument  the  lands  herein  referred  to  were  granted 
to  the  inhabitants  of  Bergen  we  do  not  know.  Such  grant  is  not 
to  be  found  in  the  Ordinance  of  September  5,  1661,  and  it  is 
worthy  of  notice  that  many  grants  from  the  Dutch  Government 
to  individuals  are  to  be  found  bearing  a  later  date ;  yet  the 
Governor  must  have  understood  the  Ordinance  of  1661  to  con- 
tain such  a  grant,  or  else  the  grant  to  which  he  refers  has  been 
lost.  Whatever  the  fact  about  the  grant  may  be,  it  is  quite 
probable  that  this  certificate  went  far  towards  satisfying  Governor 
Carteret  that  the  freeholders  of  Bergen  were  entitled  to  all  the 
unpatented  lands.  In  this  light  the  charter  of  1668  was  only  a 
confirmation  of  the  rights  which  the  ^'  Freeholders,  Inhabitants  of 
Bergen,"  possessed  under  the  Dutch  Government. 

The  village  of  Bergen  Avas  laid  out  in  1660.  It  was  laid  out 
in  a  square,  surrounded  by  narrow  streets,  yet  in  existence,  along 
which  were  erected  the  palisades.  Within  this  enclosure  all  the 
inhabitants  in  the  township  were  obliged  to  gather,  except  such 

^  Taylor's  Annals,  50:  "The  year  when  tliis  certificate  was  given,  is  not  in- 
telligible in  the  original  instrument.  But  as  they  certify  as  former  Governor  and 
Council,  it  must  have  been  after  August,  16G4,  Avhen  the  English  conquered  the 
country.

within  the  town  plot  was  laid  out  into  building  plots  by  Jacques

gardens.  It  still  retains  its  original  name.  I  have  not  been  able 
to  find  these  maps.  The  lots  within  and  without  the  town  were 
freely  given  to  those  who  desired  them.  Many,  it  seems,  did  not 
trouble  themselves  to  have  their  lands  surveyed  and  staked  out, 
or  ask  for  a  grant  thereof.  This  made  confusion,  and  caused  the 
following  Ordinance  : 

"All  Inhabitants  of  JVew  Netherlands  and  especially  those  of  the 
Village  o{ Bergen,  on  the  West  side  of  the  North  River;  also  all  others 
who  have  or  claim  any  Lands  thereabout,  are  Ordered  and  commanded 
that  they,  within  the  space  of  three  months  after  the  date  hereof,  at 
latest,  before  the  first  of  January  next,  shall  have  all  the  cultivated  and 
uncultivated  Lands  which  they  claim,  surveyed  by  the  sworn  Surveyor, 
and  set  off  and  designated  by  proper  marks,  and  on  the  exhibition  of  the 
Return  of  survey  thereof,  apply  for  and  obtain  a  regular  Patent  as  proof 
of  property,  on  pain  of  being  deprived  of  their  right,  to  the  end  that  thi^ 
Director-General  and  Council  may  dispose,  as  they  may  deem  proper, 
of  the  remaining  Lands  which,  after  the  survey,  may  happen  to  fall  out- 
side of  the  Patents,  for  the  IccomrnDdation  of  others.  All  are  hereby 
warned  against  loss  and  after  complaints. 

"Thus  done  in  Fort  Amsterdam  in  New  Netherlands  the  15 
September,  1661."  * 

A  few  lots  within  the  town  were  taken  by  persons  who  resided 
in  New  Amsterdam,  and  possibly  elsewhere.  They  erected  no 
buildings,  and  of  course  provided  no  occupant  of  their  proj)erty. 
Those  who  resided  in  the  town  were  forced  to  contribute  to  the 
defence  thereof,  and  thus  protected  the  property  of  non-residents 
while  securing  their  own.  They  felt  this  to  be  an  unjust  bur- 
den, and  their  complaints  called  forth  the  following  Ordinance, 
passed  November  15,  1663  : 

"  On  the  repeated  complaints  of  the  majority  of  the  Inhabitants  of 
the  Village  oi  Bergen ^  that  some  continue  to  neglect  to  occupy  the  Lots 
they  obtained  in  said  Village,  and  to  keep  thereon  a  man  fit  to  bear 
arms;  also  thit  some  absent  themselves  without  providing  for  their 
Watch,  whereby  the  people  of  said  Village  are  so  much  fatigued  that 
they  cannot  any  longer  stand  at  their  posts,  and  are  unwilling  to  go  any

longer  on  guard  unless  the  others,  who  have  vacant  Lots,  keep  for  the 
guard  one  man  with  them  for  each  Lot ;  the  Director-General  and 
Council,  in  order  to  prevent  this  confusion,  resolve  that  all  those  who 
claim  any  Lots  in  the  aforesaid  Village  shall,  within  24  hoUrs  after  the 
service  hereof,  furnish  and  continually  maintain  for  each  Lot  one  man 
able  to  bear  arms,  and  to  keep  watch  and  ward,  on  pain  of  having  the 
Lots  with  the  Lands  thereunto  appertaining,  as  surveyed  by  the  Sur 
veyor,  immediately  given  and  granted  in  propriety  to  others.  Let  every 
one  be  hereby  warned  for  the  last  time."  * 

The  Dutch  grants  were  made  without  pecuniary  consideration. 
There  were,  liowever,  conditions  annexed  to  them,  a  sample  of 
which  may  be  found  in  tlie  Note  to  the  Weehawken  Patent. 


CHAPTER   IL 

TITLE  UNDER  THE  KING  AND  LORDS  PROPRIETORS. 

Notwithstanding  the  occupancy  of  the  country  by  the  Dutch 
for  over  half  a  century,  the  English  had  never  yielded  the  claim 
which  they  based  on  the  fact  that  Cabot,  in  the  employ  of  some 
Englishmen,  in  1498,  sailed  along  our  coast,  but  whether  in  sight 
or  out  of  sight  they  scorned  to  demonstrate.  And  with  the  fact 
before  us  that  this  claim  was  made  good  by  the  irresistible  logic 
of  a  successful  war,  it  is  not  worth  while  to  dispute  its  validity. 
We  will,  therefore,  proceed  to  trace  the  general  title  from  the 
King  of  Great  Britam :  t 

On  March  12,  16G4,  Charles  II.  granted  unto  his  ''dearest 
brother  James,  Duke  of  York,  his  Heirs  and  Assigns,"  inter  aliaj 
"  all  the  Lands  from  the  West  side  of  Connecticut,  to  the  East  side 
of  Delaware  Bay,"  with  powers  of  government.!  On  the  28d  and 
24th  of  June,  1664,  by  lease  and  release,  the  Duke  conveyed 
to  John,  Lord  Berkeley,  Baron  of  Stratton,  and  one  of  the  Privy 
Council,  and  Sir  George  Carteret  of  Saltrum,  Knight,  and  Member 
of  the  Privy  Council,  ''All  that  Tract  of  Land  adjacent  to  Netv-

t  I  give  no  attention  to  the  claim  of  Sir  Edmund  Ployden  to  all  the  lands 
between  Long  Island  Sound  and  Cape  May,  who  professed  to  erect  it  into  a  free 
county  palatine,  and  called  it  New  Albion.  His  pretensions  never  disturbed  the 
regular  current  of  title.  |  Learning  &  Spicer,  3.

England,  and  lying  and  being  to  the  Westward  of  Long-Island 
and  Manhitas  Island,  and  bounded  on  the  East  part  by  the  main 
sea,  and  part  by  Hudsori's  River,  and  hath  upon  the  West  Dela- 
ware Bay  or  River,  and  extendeth  Southward  to  the  Main  Ocean 
as  far  as  Cape  May  at  the  Mouth  of  Delatvare  Bay ;  and  to  the 
Northward  as  far  as  the  Northermost  Branch  as  the  said  Bay 
or  River  of  Belatvaye,  which  is  forty-one  Degrees  and  forty 
Minutes  of  Latitude,  and  crosseth  over  thence  in  a  straight  Line 
to  Hudson^ s  River  in  forty-one  Degrees  of  Latitude ;  which  said 
Tract  of  Land  is  hereafter  to  be  called  by  the  Name  or  Names  of 
Nova  Ceaserea  or  Neiv- Jersey ^  * 

The  war  between  England  and  Holland  was  followed  by  the 
Treaty  of  July  21,  1667  ;  but  in  1672  it  again  broke  out,  and 
the  Dutch  recaptured  the  country,  August  9,  1673.  By  the 
Treaty  of  February  9,  1674,  the  country  was  for  the  second  time 
confirmed  to  the  English. t 

While  the  war  was  in  progress,  and  on  March  18,  1673,  Lord 
Berkley  sold  his  interest  in  the  Province  to  John  Fenwick,  in 
trust  for  Edward  Billinge,  for  c£l,000.  Billinge  had  failed  in 
business;  Berkley  was  his  particular  friend,  and  advised  him  to 
invest  in  New  Jersey  lands  for  the  purpose  of  retrieving  his  for- 
tune. He  was  pleased  with  the  proposition,  borrowed  the  money 
from  his  friends,  and  purchased  the  land  in  the  name  of  John 
Fenwick,  who  was  to  have  one-tenth  of  the  same.  Fenwick 
managed  the  purchase  so  well  that,  it  is  said,  he  would  soon  have 
stripped  the  other  of  all,  but  means  were  employed  to  compel 
him  to  be  satisfied  with  his  tenth.l  Billinge  assigned  his 
interest,  less  Fenwick's  tenth,  to  William  Penn,  Gawn  Laurie, 
and  Nicholas  Lucas,  February  9  and  10,  1674,  in  trust  for  his 
creditors.  Fenwick  sold  his  interest  to  John  Eldridge  and  Edmond 
Warren,  who  sold  to  Penn,  Laurie,  and  Lucas.  § 

To  clear  up  any  shadow  which  the  recent  occupation  by  the 
Dutch  might  have  cast  upon  former  grants,  Charles  IL  made  a 
second  grant  to  the  Duke,  June  29,  1674  .||  This  was  followed 
by  the  Duke,  July  29,  1674,  with  a  grant  to  Sir  George  Carte- 
ret  of  what  was  afterwards  known  as  East  Jersey.     On  July  1,

lf)7f),  hy  the  '^  Quintipartitc  Deed/'  the  State  was  divided,  and 
Sir  Georo;e  received  the  eastern  portion  in  severalty.*  Sir  George, 
by  will  dated  December  5,  1678,  appointed  his  wife,  Elizabeth, 
sole  executrix,  and  Earl  Sandwich,  Earl  Batli,  Lord  Grenville, 
Sir  Thomas  Crew,  Sir  Robert  Atkins,  and  Edward  Atkins,  Trus- 
tees, to  whom  he  devised  his  interest  in  New  Jersey,  to  be  sold 
for  the  payment  of  his  debts.t  On  the  5th  and  6th  of  March, 
1680,  East  Jersey  was  conveyed  to  Thomas  Cremer  and  Thomas 
Pocock,  but  the  transfer  does  not  seem  to  have  been  completed. 
On  the  6th  of  the  following  August,  the  Duke  indulged  in  a 
second  grant  to  Penn  and  his  associates  of  West  Jersey,  and 
Gordon  says  he  also  gave  one  to  the  representatives  of  Carteret 
on  March  14,  1682.  This  has  not  been  discovered,  but  the  fol- 
lowing warrant  therefor  exists  : 

"  These  are  to  direct  and  require  you  to  prepare  for  my  signature  a 
Deed  or  fitting  Instrument  (agreeable  to  yt  I  have  already  executed 
unto  Edward  Billing  and  others)  whereby  I  may  release  and  confirm 
unto  Sir  George  Carteret,  ye  heire  of  Sir  George  Carteret  (lately  de- 
ceased) his  moyty  of  New  Jersey  (called  East  New  Jersey)  in  Amer-

These  Releases  were  given  in  consequence  of  an  opinion  of 
Sir  William  Jones,  dated  July  28,  1680.  The  Duke's  Governor 
of  NcAV  York  had  claimed  jurisdiction  over  both  of. the  Jerseys, 
and  insisted  on  his  right,  in  behalf  of  the  Duke,  to  collect  duties 
upon  importations  therein.  These  pretensions  were  resisted 
with  much  spirit,  until  finally  the  Duke  referred  the  subject 
to  Sir  William  Jones  for  an  opinion.  His  decision  was  that 
the  Duke  could  not  legally  demand  any  duty  from  the  inhabitants 
of  the  Jerseys.  The  Duke  gracefully  yielded,  and  gave  his  third 
and  final  Release  of  East  Jersey. § 

On  the  20th  of  February,  1681,  Earl  Sandwich  released  his 
interest  in  East  Jersey  to  his  associate  trustees,  and  they  again 
sought   to   negotiate  a  sale  of  the   Province.     Failing  to  find  a

piu'chaser  at  even  the  sum  of  five  or  six  thousand  pounds,  it  was 
sold  at  public  sale  to  William  Penn,  Robei't  West,  Thomas  Rud- 
yard,  Samuel  Broome,  Thomas  Hart,  Richard  Mew,  Ambrose 
Riggs,  John  Haywood,  Hugh  Hartshorne,  Clement  Plumstead, 
and  Thomas  Cooper,  all  Quakers.  The  Lease  and  Release  were 
dated  February  1  and  2,  1682,  and  the  consideration  was  .£3,400. 
To  avoid  any  doubt  which  might  arise  by  reason  of  the  prior  sale 
to  Cremer  and  Pocock,  they  joined  in  the  conveyance.  The  asso- 
ciates then — June  1,  1682  —  executed  a  declaration  that  there 
should  be  no  benefit  of  survivorship  among  themselves.  They 
held  the  Province  for  nearly  a  year,  but  they  were  Quakers, 
and  therefore  unpopular.  To  quiet  opposition  on  this  ground, 
they  severally  conveyed,  in  1683,  an  undivided  moiety  of  their 
respective  interest  to  twelve  others — viz.,  Robert  Barclay,  Edward 
Billinge,  Robert  Turner,  James  Braine,  Arent  Sonmans,  William 
Gibson,  Gawn  Laurie,  Thomas  Barker,  Thomas  Warne,  James, 
Earl  of  Perth,  Robert  Gordon,  and  John  Drummond.  These 
associates  were  afterwards  known  as  the  "  Twenty-four  Pro- 
prietors." On  the  14th  of  March,  16S3,  the  Duke  confirmed  the 
sale  of  the  Province  to  the  twenty- four  proprietors.*  Under  all 
of  these  diiferent  owners  of  the  soil  of  the  Province,  the  rights 
and  powers  of  Government  had  always  attached  to  the  ownership. 
The  seat  of  Government  was  at  Perth  Amboy,  where  it  was 
required  to  record  all  surveys  and  transfers  of  land.t 

Many  patents  for  land  in  this  county,  east  of  the  Hackensack, 
had  been  taken  out  before  the  fall  of  the  Dutch  power.  By  the 
third  article  in  the  capitulation,  "  all  people  were  permitted  to 
enjoy  their  lands,  houses,  and  goods,  and  dispose  of  them  at  pleas- 
ure." Under  this  article  they  felt  secure  until  the  treaty  of 
Breda,  dated  July  25,  1667.  Then  the  freeholders  in  this  covmty 
took  out  confirmatory  grants  from  the  proprietors  subject  to  a  quit- 
rent  of  half-penny  per  acre.     To  this  burden  much  of  the  lands

Avliich,  unhappily,  seems  to  be  lost.  Then,  as  stated  in  the  text,  they  were  for  a 
time  recorded  in  the  Secretary's  office  at  Amboy.  Then  they  Avere  for  a  time 
recorded  indifferently  at  Amboy  or  Hackensack,  the  county  seat ;  then  exclusively 
at  Hackensack,  until  Hudson  County  was  set  off  from  Bergen,  in  1840.  It  is  Avell 
to  note,  however,  that  many  deeds  for  land  in  this  county  have  never  been  recorded, 
but  not  those  of  modern  date.

in  East  Jorscy  is  yet  subject,  tliou^h  years  have  gone  by  since  its 
collection  was  enforced.  Wiiether  it  was  to  avoid  the  gi-anting  of  par- 
ticular tracts  to  individuals,  or  because  the  Dutch  government  had 
already  granted  to  the  town  and  freeholders  all  of  the  unappropri- 
ated lands  in  the  old  township,  we  do  not  know,  but  it  is  worthy  of 
notice  that  the  proprietors  never  gave  to  an  individual  an  original 
patent  for  land  in  the  township  of  Bergen.  On  the  22d  of  Sep- 
tember, 1667,  Philip  Carteret  and  his  Council  granted  to  the  town 
and  freeholders  of  Bergen  as  follows  : 

**  KniptinriB. — The  Bounds  and  Limitts  of  the  aforesaid  Towne 
and  Corporation  of  Bergen  is  to  begin  at  the  North  end  thereof,  from  a

river,  from  thence  to  run  upon  a  N.  W.  lyne  by  a  Three  rail  fence  that  is 
now  standing,  to  a  place  called  Espatin,  and  from  thence  to  a  little 
Creek  surrounding  N.N.W.  till  it  comes  into  Hackinsack  river,  contain- 
ing in  Bredth  from  the  top  of  the  Hill  i}4  miles,  or  120  chains,  from 
thence  it  runs  along  the  said  Hackinsack  river  upon  S.S.W.  lyne  till  it 
comes  to  the  Point  or  neck  of  Land  that  is  over  against  Staten  Island 
and  Shooter's  Island  in  Arthur  Cull  Bay,  containing  in  length  about  12 
miles,  from  thence  to  run  Eastward  along  the  River  called  Kill  van  Cull, 
that  parts  Staten  Island  and  the  Maine  to  a  point  or  neck  of  Land  called 
Constable's  Point  or  Constable's  Houck,  and  from  thence  to  run  up 
Northward  all  along  the  Bay  up  into  Hudson's  river  till  it  comes  to 
Mordanis  Meadow  aforesaid ;  So  that  the  whole  track  of  upland  and 
Meadow  property  belonging  to  the  Jurisdiction  of  the  said  Town  and

"  2ndly.  That  all  the  Freeholders  of  said  Corporation  or  Towneship

in  the  concessions,  which  payment  is  to  begin  on  the  25th  day  of  March,

the  said  Limitts,  are  to  be  accompted  upon  the  aforesaid  Rent  of  Fifteen 
Pounds  Sterling  pr  annum." 

In  the  course  of  time  the  payment  of  the  reserved  quit-rent 
was  neglected,  and  finally  refused.  Hereupon  a  controversy  arose 
between  the  proprietors  and  the  freeholders  of  Bergen.  Finally, 
Cornelius  van  Rypen,  a  freeholder,  in  the  township,  was  arrested 
for  the  debt.  A  compromise  was  then  agreed  upon,  and  the  free- 
holders of  Bergen  received  a  general  release  upon  paying  $1,500. 
This  release  was  dated  October  5,  1809. 


CHAPTER    in. 

COMMON     LANDS. 


Having  thus,  in  a  general  way,  glanced  at  the  history  of  the 
title  to  the  patented  lands  in  this  county  east  of  the  Hackcnsack 
river ;  let  us  now  trace  the  history  of  the  common  lands.  Car- 
teret's grant  calls  for  11,520  acres.  This,  of  course,  included  all 
the  lands  in  the  old  township  of  Bergen.  It  is  quite  impossible 
to  say  how  much  of  this  had  already  been  appropriated  by  indi- 
vidual grants,  but  it  must  have  been  about  3,500  acres,  as  about 
8,000  acres  yet  lay  in  common  when  the  Commissioners  undertook 
the  allotment.  The  patent  lands  lay  in  different  parts  of  the  town- 
ship, and  generally  consisted  of  small  tracts,  while  the  unappro- 
priated lands  were  used  in  common.  Difficulties,  however,  soon 
arose  concerning  these  lands.  The  owners  of  private  grants  en- 
croached upon  the  common  domain,  while  unauthorized  persons 
pastiired  their  cattle  thereon  and  wasted  the  timber.  For  this 
there  did  not  seem  to  be  any  remedy,  owing  to  defects  in  their 
charter.  Thereupon,  the  freeholders,  in  their  corporate  capacity, 
petitioned  Governor  Hunter  for  relief,  and  in  answer  to  their  peti- 
tion, tbey  received  a  new  charter,  known  as  Queen  Anne's  Char- 
ter, January  14,  1714.  In  this  they  were  empowered  ''to  Give 
Grant,  Bargain,  Allott,  Lett,  Dispose  of  any  of  the  Land  belong- 
ing or  appertaining  to  ye  said  Community,  and  as  yett  unappro- 
priated, either  for  one,  two,  or  three  lives,  for  term  of  years  or  in

fee."  While  it  is  not  kno^vn  tliat  any  grants  were  ever  made 
under  this  cliarter,  it  is  well  known  that  it  did  not  accomplish 
what  was  sought.  Encroachments  and  waste  continued  as  before. 
In  1743,  the  freeholders  quietly  attempted  to  protect  the  common 
lands  by  the  following :

So  far  as  we  can  now  learn  the  measures  contemplated  by  this 
agreement  were  not  pursued.  Matters  growing  w-orse,  the  people 
petitioned  the  Legislature  for  relief.  This  petition  resulted  in  the 
following  : 

^It  ^Ct  appointing  Commissioners  for  finally  settling  and  determin- 
ing the  several  Rights,  Tides  &  Claims  to  the  Common  Lands  of  the 
Township  of  Bergen  ;  and  for  making  a  Partition  thereof  in  just  & 
equitable  Proportions,  among  them  who  shall  be  adjudged  by  the  said 
Commissioners,  to  be  intitled  to  the  same. 

213]li)CtrC*lS  sundry  Persons  claiming  to  be  Inhabitants  and  Freehold- 
ers within  the  Township  of  Bergen  aforesaid,  by  their  Petition,  presented 
to  the  General-Assembly  of  this  Colony,  do  set  forth,  that  Philip  Carteret, 
Esq''  Governor  of  this  Colony  of  Nova  Cesarea,  or  New  Jersey,  under 
the  Right  Honorable  Lord  John  Berkley,  and  Sir  George  Carteret  the 
former  Proprietors  thereof,  by  a  certain  Deed  or  Instrument  in  writing 
purporting  to  be  a  Charter  granted  to  the  Town  and  Freeholders  of 
Bergen,  and  to  the  Villages  and  Plantations  thereunto  belonging,  bear- 
ing Date  the  twenty-second  Day  of  September  in  the  year  of  our  Lord 
one  thousand  six  hundred  and  sixty-eight,  did  therein  and  thereby  with 
the  Consent  of  his  Council,  grant  and  declare  among  other  Things 
therein  contained,  that  the  Bounds  and  Limits  of  the  aforesaid  Town 
and  Corporation  of  Bergen  was  and  is  to  begin  at  the  North  End  of

Mordani's  Meadow,  lying  upon  the  West  Side  of  Hudson's  River,  from 
thence  to  run  upon  a  Northwest  Line  by  a  three  Rail  Fence  that  was 
then  standing,  to  a  place  called  Espatin,  «&:  from  thence  to  a  little 
Creek  surrounding  North  North-West  till  it  comes  into  Hackinsack 
River,  containing  in  Breadth  from  the  Top  of  the  Hill  one  Mile  and  a 
Half  or  one  hundred  &  twenty  Chains  From  thence  it  runs  alongst 
the  said  Hackinsack  River  upon  a  South  South- West  Line  till  it  comes 
to  the  Point  or  Neck  of  Land  that  is  over  against  Staten- Island  and 
Shooter's  Island  in  Arthur  Cull  Bay,  containing  in  Length  about  twelve 
Miles,  from  thence  to  run  Eastward,  along  the  River  called  Kill  Van 
Cull  that  parts  Staten-Island  and  the  Main,  to  a  Point  or  Neck  of  Land 
called  Constable's  Point  or  Constable's  Hook,  and  from  thence  to  run  up 
Northward  all  along  the  Bay  up  into  Hudson's  River  till  it  comes  to 
Mordani's  Meadow  aforesaid,  so  that  the  whole  Tract  of  Upland  and 
Meadow  property  belonging  to  the  Jurisdiction  of  the  said  Town  and 
Corporation  of  Bergen,  is  bounded  at  the  North  End  by  a  Tract  of 
Land  belonging  to  Cap'"  Nicholas  Verlet  and  Mr.  Samuel  Edsall,  on 
the  East  Side  by  Hudsons  River,  on  the  South  End  by  the  Kill  Van  Cull 
that  parts  Staten-Island  and  the  Main,  and  on  the  West  Side  by  Arthur 
Cull  Bay  and  Hackinsack  River;  And  did  also  among  other  things 
therein  mentioned  grant  and  declare  that  the  Freeholders  aforesaid,  or 
the  major  Part  of  them,  should  have  Power  to  chuse  their  own  Magis- 
trates to  be  Assistants  to  the  President  or  Judge  of  the  Court  and  for 
the  ordering  all  public  Aftairs  within  the  said  Jurisdiction  And  that  the 
Freeholders  aforesaid,  or  the  major  Part  of  them,  should  have  Power  to 
admit  of  their  own  Inhabitants  and  to  divide  all  Proportions  of  Lands 
as  are  within  the  Bounds  and  Limits  aforesaid,  that  were  not  then  al- 
ready appropriated  and  patented  by  particular  Persons  before  the  Day 
of  the  Date  thereof,  according  to  their  Allotments  and  Estates,  as  the 
Justices  &  Magistrates  should  in  their  Wisdoms  think  fit,  which  Land 
being  so  divided  every  Man's  Proportion  should  be  surveyed,  butted  and 
bounded  by  the  Surveyor,  and  recorded  by  the  Secretary  and  Recorder 
General  of  this  Colony  and  after  two  Years  in  Possession,  should  not 
be  subject  to  any  Re-Survey  or  Alteration,  but  should  remain  according 
to  the  first  Survey  forever,  as  by  the  said  Charter  more  fully  and  at  large 
may  appear.  And  the  said  Petitioners  further  set  forth  that  altho'  cer- 
tain Letters-Patent  of  her  late  Majesty  Queen  Anne,  issued  under  the 
Great  Seal  of  this  Colony,  bearing  Date  the  fourteenth  Day  of  January 
in  the  twelfth  Year  of  her  Reign,  confirming  the  aforesaid  Incorporation 
of  the  said  Township  of  Bergen ;  and  altho'  the  said  Letters-Patent  were 
confirmed  by  an  Act  of  the  Governor,  Council  and  General  Assembly 
of  this  Colony,  passed  the  twenty-ninth  Day  of  January  in  the  Year  of 
our  Lord  one  thousand  seven  hundred  thirteen,  intituled  an  Act  for  Con- 
firmation of  a  Patent  or  Charter  granted  by  His  Excellency  Robert 
Hunter,  Esq""  Captain-General  and  Governor-in-Chief  in  and  over  the 
Provinces  of  New  Jersey  and  New  York,  and  all  the  Territories  and 
Tracts  of  Land  depending  thereon  in  America,  and  Vice- Admiral  of  the 
same  for  the  Incorporation  of  the  Town  of  Bergen  in  the  Eastern  Divi- 
sion of  the  Province  of  Nova  Cesarea  or  New  Jersey  :  Yet  neither  the 
said  Letters-Patent  nor  the  said  Act  do  prescribe  any  Method  for  the 
Division  of  the  Common  Lands  of  the  said  Township  of  Bergen,  but 
leave  the  same  subject  to  such  Method  as  is  above  mentioned  to  be  pre- 
scribed by  the  aforesaid  Charter  of  Governor  Philip  Carteret  :  And  that 


20  l.AM)    TITIvKS. 

altho'  the  Petition  of  the  said  Common  Lands,  is  by  the  aforesaid  Char- 
ter of  Governor  Philip  Carteret  directed  to  be  made  by  the  said  Free- 
holders, in  such  Manner  as  the  Justices  and  Magistrates  shall  think  fit, 
yet  that  elective  Magistrates  having  been  a  Provision  in  the  Infancy  of 
this  Colony,  and  having  long  since  been  disused  except  in  some  particu- 
lar Incorporations,  among  which  the  said  Township  of  Bergen  is  not 
to  be  ranked,  a  Partition  of  the  aforesaid  Common  Lands  in  the  Manner 
directed  by  the  said  Charter,  is  for  that  Reason  become  absolutely  im- 
possible ;  That  besides,  the  Petitioners  are  not  only  at  some  Variai.ce 
among  themselves,  as  well  concerning  what  particular  Tracts  of  Land 
patented  before  the  Grant  of  the  said  Charter,  are  included  within  the 
above  recited  Bounds  of  the  said  Township  of  Bergen,  and  consequently 
concerning  the  Persons  who  may  properly  be  deemed  Freeholders  of  the 
said  Township ;  And  who  the  Freeholders  within  the  said  Township  are 
or  are  not  intitled  to  Shares  of  the  said  Common  Lands  But  it  is  also 
disputed  among  them  in  what  Proportions  the  said  Common  Lands  ought 
by  Virtue  of  the  said  Charter  to  be  divided  among  those  who  undoubt- 
edly are  Freeholders  within  the  Bounds  of  the  said  Township  and  are 
Intituled  to  Shares  of  the  said  Common  Lands,  which  Reasons  together 
with  the  great  Number  of  the  Persons  Interested  and  the  Infancy, 
Coverture  and  Absence  beyond  Seas  of  many  of  them  render  a  Partition 
of  the  said  Common  Lands  Impracticable  by  the  Course  of  the  Com- 
mon Law  and  Feasible  only  by  Commissioners  to  be  appointed  by  Act 
of  Legislature  as  well  for  settling  the  several  Claims  to  the  Commons  as 
the  Respective  Proportions  in  which  the  same  ought  to  be  Divided  and 
that  by  Reason  of  the  present  Undivided  State  of  the  said  Commons 
great  and  Unnecessary  Waste  is  daily  Committed  by  destroying  the 
Timber  growing  on  the  same.  By  which  means  if  the  same  be  not  pre- 
vented by  a  Speedy  Partition  of  the  said  Commons,  they  w^ill  be  ren- 
dered of  Little  Value,  and  the  Township  of  Bergen  be  reduced  to  great 
Distress  for  want  of  Timber  and  Fuel,  the  Petitioners  therefore  pray 
Relief  in  the  Premises  as  by  the  said  Petition  may  appear.

WM.  FRANKLIN. 

The  Commissioners  appointed  hj  the  foregoing  act  caused  to  be 
surveyed  every  foot  of  land  lying  east  of  the  Haekensack  in  this 
county,  and  the  result  is  recorded  with  great  care  and  particular- 
ity in  their  Field  Book  and  Maps,  which  were  filed,  as  directed  in 
the  seventh  section  of  the  above  act.  By  an  act  of  the  Legisla- 
ture approved  March  3,  1848,  the  Field  Book  and  Maps  on  file  in 
the  Clerk's  office  of  Bergen  County  were  required  to  be  filed  in  the 
office  of  the  Clerk  of  Hudson  County.  They  were  so  filed.  But 
the  copy  in  the  Secretary  of  State's  office  being  in-better  preser- 
vation, and  of  no  particular  utility  in  that  place,  there  Avas  a  gen- 
eral desire  among  the  people  of  the  county  to  secure  it,  whereupon 
by  an  act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  March  3,  1853,  the  Clerk 
of  Hudson  County  returned  the  one  then  in  his  office  to  the  Clerk 
of  Bergen  County,  and  received  and  filed  the  one  then  in  the 
office  of  the  Secretary  of  State. 


Note  1. — The  reader  is  indebted  to  Delos  E.  Culver,  of  Jersey 
City,  for  the  following  observations  on  terrestrial  magnetism  and 
its  effect  on  the  magnetic  needle.  His  long  experience  and  well- 
known  ability  as  a  practical  surveyor  and  civil  engineer  make  him 
an  authority  on  the  subject.     He  says  : 


LAND    TITLES.  25 

"  Paradoxical  as  it  may  appear,  many  surveyors  do  not  under- 
stand the  action  of  the  magnetic  current  upon  the  needle,  and  many 
others  but  imperfectly.  In  order  to  make  the  needle  useful,  the 
laws  which  govern  its  movements  should  be  known. 

"  The  magnetic  fluid  or  current  sweeps  continually  from  the 
south  to  the  north  magnetic  pole,  sometimes  increasing  in  intensity, 
at  others  decreasing  over  the  earth  and  beneath  its  surface  on 
waving  meridian  lines.  The  direction  of  this  current  at  any  given 
point  is  the  magnetic  meridian. 

"  The  magnetic  poles,  however,  are  constantly  moving  around 
the  true  poles,  changing  the  direction  of  the  current,  and  with  it 
the  direction  of  the  needle,  thus  accounting  for  its  secular  decli- 
nation. There  is  also  an  annular  declination  of  the  needle,  caused 
by  the  revolution  of  the  earth  upon  its  axis,  which  is  completed 
every  day,  and  another  declination,  superimposed  upon  the  others, 
caused  apparently  by  the  earth's  nearing  and  receding  from  the 
sun  each  year,  its  maximum  effect  being  exhibited  in  January 
when  the  earth  is  nearest  the  sun. 

"  Of  course,  so  far  as  land  surveying  with  the  needle  is  concerned, 
the  secular  declination  only  need  be  observed.  The  following 
extract  from  the  American  Encyclopaedia  of  observations  made  in 
London  and  Paris  will  illustrate  this,  showing  how  the  north  end  of 
the  needle  travelled  eastward  at  London  until  the  year  1657  : 
''  From  that  time  (105 7)  the  westerly  declination  began,  and  con- 
tinued until  it  began  to  be  thought  it  would  ever  move  in  that 
direction,  until  it  pointed  south.  In  Paris  the  easterly  declination 
did  not  disappear  until  1663,  and  there  also  the  needle  travelled 
westerly  until  1814,  when  it  pointed  22^°  towards  the  west.  It 
then  began  to  flag,  and  in  1817  the  needle  began  to  return  towards 
the  north.  The  same  result  was  not  noted  in  London  untfl  the 
year  1819,  when  the  needle  pointed  N.,  25*^  W. ;"  this  time,  of 
about  162  years,  marking  one-half  the  period  of  the  revolution  of 
the  magnetic  pole  around  the  true  pole.  There  are  two  lines 
passing  over  the  earth's  surface  upon  its  opposite  sides,  on  which 
the  needle  will  point  due  north  and  south.  Such  a  line,  at  the 
present  time,  passes  very  near  the  City  of  Detroit  in  Michigan, 
and  is  steadily  moving  westward.  On  the  east  side  of  this  line 
the  variation  of  the  needle  is  to  the  west,  increasing  in  amount 
with  the  distance  from  it.  On  the  other  side  of  the  line  of  no 
4 


26  LAND    TITLES. 

variation  the  (locHnation  of  the  needle  is  towards  the  cast.  So,  it 
will  be  seen  that  at  any  locality  the  course  of  the  needle  will  not 
be  exactly  the  same  after  the  day  upon  which  it  is  taken  until 
about  160  years  have  passed  by. 

"  In  Hudson  County,  according  to  my  experience,  and  from  the 
average  of  many  surveys  made  from  the  monuments  and  courses 
laid  doAvn  on  the  map  and  field-book,  made  by  the  Commissioners 
in  1764,  I  determined,  to  my  satisfaction,  that  here  the  easterly 
declination  of  the  needle  terminated  in  the  year  1810,  and  that  the 
average  yearly  movement  before  that  time  was  at  the  rate  of 
3  3-10  minutes  per  annum.  I  found  exceptional  cases  where  it 
would  require  as  much  as  4  minutes  per  annum  correction  to  make 
the  courses  agree  with  the  monuments,  and  others  again  where 
less  than  two  minutes  would  do  it.  But  allowance  must  be  made 
for  imperfections  of  instruments,  local  attraction,  errors  made  in 
observing  or  recording  bearings,  etc. 

''  I  would  advise  surveyors  and  others,  where  the  title  of  valuable 
land  is  to  pass  by  description  based  upon  needle  courses,  to  care- 
fully note  the  date  of  the  survey,  and  have  the  same  go  into  the 
instrument  conveying  the  title.  The  importance  of  this  will  at 
once  be  seen  when  it  is  stated  that  a  variation  of  3  3-10  minutes 
per  year  will  swing  the  lines  of  a  piece  of  land  of  100  rods  long  in 
ten  years  16  feet  out  of  its  former  position  unless  the  proper  cor- 
rection for  the  time  since  the  survey  was  made,  is  made.  From 
an  observation  of  the  position  of  the  North  Star,  made  on  the  even- 
ing of  May  29,  1871,  at  Jersey  City,  the  declination  of  the  needle 
from  the  true  meridian  was  shown  to  be  7'^  55',  the  course  of  a 
true  north  line  being  N.,  7^  55',  W." 

Note  2. — The  land  in  these  grants  was  measured  by  the  Morgen, 
containing  nearly  two  acres.  An  explanation  of  this  measure  as 
it  prevailed  in  the  olden  time  may  be  useful  for  a  fuU  understand- 
ing of  the  Dutch  Patents.  A  Ehineland  rod  was  the  Dutch  measure 
for  land.  It  contains  12  feet  and  4f  inches,  English  measure. 
Five  of  these  made  a  Dutch  chain,  which  consequently  contained 
61  feet  and  llf  inches.  Twenty-five  such  rods  in  length  and 
twenty-four  in  breadth  makes  a  Morgen,  which  consists  of  600 
square  Dutch  rods. — Moultoii's  Hist,  of  N.  Y.,  i.  334.

the  Dutch  rod.

As  a  caution  to  all  who  may  hereafter  be  imployed  in  surveying  within 
the  Township  of  Bergen,  the  Commissioners  have  thought  it  necessary  to 
Note  that  they  found  an  attraction  more  or  less  in  most  Parts  of  the  Town- 
ship, and  more  especially  towards  the  Northern  Bounds,  where  they  found 
it  in  some  Places  near  five  Degrees.

THIS  IS  ONE  OF  THE  FIELD-BOOKS 

Of  the  General  Partition  of  the  Common  Lands  of  the   Township 

of  Bergen 

Made  in  pursuance  of  a  Law  of  the  Province  of  New  Jersey  in  Amer- 
ica pass'd  in  the  fourth  Year  of  the  Reign  of  his  present  Majesty 
King  George  the  third,  entitled 

"  ^U  :^Ct  appointing  Commissioners  for  finally  setling  and  deter- 
mining the  several  Rights,  Titles  and  Claims  to  the  Common  Lands  of 
the  Township  of  Bergen,  and  for  making  a  partition  thereof  in  just  and 
equitable  Proportions  among  those  who  shall  be  adjudged  by  the  said 
Commissioners  to  be  entitled  to  the  same." 

The  General  Partition  by  the  said  Act  directed  was  performed  by 
Six  of  the  Seven  Commissioners  therein  named,  to  wit,  Jacob  Spicer, 
Charles  Clinton,  William  Donnaldson,  Azariah  Dunham,  John  Berrien 
and  Abraham  Clark  Jun'';  Samuel  Willis  the  Seventh  Commissioner 
declined  and  did  not  attend  the  Service.*     Those  Six  Commissioners  who 

*  It  is  worthy  of  observation  that  not  one  of  these  commissioners  lived  in  the 
county  where  the  lands  to  be  surveyed  lay.  Two  of  them  were  from  Essex  County  ; 
two  from  Middlesex ;  one  from  Somerset ;  and  two,  with  the  surveyor,  George  Clin- 
ton, Governor  of  New  York  during  the  Revolutionary  war,  were  from  the  State  of 
New  York. 

Jacob  Spicer, 
The  son  of  Col.  Jacob  Spicer,  was  born  in  Cape  May  County,  in  1716.  In  1744  he 
became  a  member  of  the  General  Assembly,  which  position  he  held  for  twenty-one 
years.  He  married  (lst>,  Judith,  daughter  of  Humphrey  Hughes  ;  (2)  Deborah, 
widow  of  Christopher  Leaming.  In  1756  he  purchased  the  interest  of  the  West 
Jersey  Society  in  Cape  May  County,  constituting  what  has  since  been  known  as  the 
Vacant  Right.  He  was  appointed  with  Aaron  Leaming  to  revise  the  laws  of  the 
State.  The  result  of  their  labors  may  be  found  in  "Leaming  and  Spicer's  Collection," 
published  without  date,  "  Printed  at  Philadelphia,  by  W.  Bradford,  Printer  to 
the  King's  Most  Excellent  Majesty  for  the  Province  of  Neia  Jersey."  He  was  a  mer- 
chant and  surveyor,  a  man  of  exemplary  habits,  and  strictly  faithful  in  his  business 
relations.     He  died  in  1765,  and  was  buried  at  Cold  Spring. 

Charles  Cllnton 
Was  born  in  the  County  of  Longford,  Ireland,  in  1690 ;  died  November  19,  1773,  in 
the  town  of  New  Windsor,  then  in  Ulster,  now  Orange  Co.,  New  York.     His  grand-

impartially  according  to  the  Directions  thereof;  and  the  best  of  their 
Skill  &  Judgment;  as  may  appear  by  the  certificates  filed  in  the  Office 
of  the  Clerk  of  the  County  of  Eergen ;  true  copy's  whereof  are  in  the

father  was  an  adherent  of  Charles  I.,  and  after  the  defeat  of  the  Koyalists  fled  to  the 
north  of  Ireland.  His  mother  was  the  daughter  of  a  captain  in  the  Parliamentary 
army.  He  and  a  number  of  his  Mends  chartered  a  ship  and  sailed  for  America,  May 
20,  1729.  This  company  in  1731  selected  a  place  for  a  permanent  settlement,  and 
called  it  "  Little  Britain,"  in  New  Windsor.  He  was  a  farmer  and  land  surveyor, 
and  was  appointed  Surveyor-General,  and  Judge  of  the  Common  Pleas  in  Ulster.  In 
175G  he  was  appointed  lieutenant-colonel  in  the  militia,  and  served  under  General 
Bradstreet  in  the  expedition  against  Fort  Frontenac  (now  Kingston),  Canada.  His 
sons  James  (father  of  DeWitt  Clinton)  and  George  accompanied  him  in  this  expe- 
dition.    Vide  Appletoii's  Encyclopcedia  and  Eager' s  History  of  Orange  County. 

William  Donnaij5Son. 
Concerning  William  Donnaldson  nothing  whatever  has  been  learned,  except  (if  he 
was  the  man)  that  he  kept  a  tavern,  and  resided  on  the  road  between  New  Brunswick 
and  Princeton,  at  the  junction  of  the  Eocky  Hill  road.     This  is  ascertained  by  the 
map  of  the  survey  of  the  county  line,  made  by  Az.  Dunham. 

Azariah  Dunham. 
Col.  Azariah  Dunham  was  born  in  the  township  of  Piscataway, N.  J.,  in  the  early 
part  of  the  eighteenth  century.  His  family  settled  in  the  township  as  early  as  1670. 
He  married  Mary  Ford,  of  Morristown,  and  settled  at  New  Brunswick,  where  be  built 
a  mansion  on  what  was  originally  known  as  Main,  then  Burnet,  and  still  later  as 
Little  Burnet  or  Water  street.  He  was  a  very  prominent  man,  and  enjoyed  a  large 
share  of  the  public  confidence.  He  was  rigidly  just,  extremely  accurate,  and  highly 
intelligent.  At  an  early  day  his  name  often  appears  in  the  minutes  of  the  Courts 
of  Middlesex  County  as  arbitrator  to  settle  matters  in  dispute  or  litigation.  He 
was  a  civil  engineer,  in  which  capacity  liis  services  Avere  in  great  demand,  both  by 
private  parties  and  public  bodies.  June  20,  17C5,  he  was  appointed  by  the  Legis- 
lature one  of  the  commissioners  "  to  view  the  grounds  and  make  a  straight  and 
perfect  survey  from  Bordentown  to  Kingston,  and  fi-om  Trenton  as  near  as  may  be, 
through  Priuceton,  Kingston,  New  Brunswick,  Elizabethtown,  and  Newark  to  Second 
Eiver ;   also   from   New   Brunswick  to   Perth  Amboy,   and  from  Perth  Amboy  to

Elizabethtown."  May  20,  1765,  he  was  selected  by  the  Justices  and  Freeholders  of 
Middlesex  to  run  the  division  line  between  Somerset  and  Middlesex,  which  had  be- 
come "  dubious."  1  have  seen  a  copy  of  the  map  of  this  survey  comjileted  May  9, 
1766.  It  was  accompanied  by  a  field-book  ;  and  the  two  accurately  described  the 
line  and  the  public  highway  from  New  Brunswick  to  the  Province  line,  west  of 
Princeton.  They  preserve  the  names  of  all  the  inhabitants  living  along  the  roftd,  and 
note  the  exact  locality  of  their  farms  and  houses ;  and  also  exhibit  the  extent  ot 
Princeton  and  New  Brunswick  at  that  day. 

In  May,  177.5,  he  was  elected  to  the  General  Assembly.  In  the  autumn  of  that 
year  he  and  other  patriotic  members  of  the  Assembly  absented  themselves  to  meet 
and  confer  with  patriots  from  the  several  colonies  in  the  city  of  New  York.  Their 
absence  was  noticed  by  Governor  Wm.  Fraaklin,  who  sent  a  message  to  the  Assembly 
complaining  of  it.  Accordingly,  November  17,  1775,  the  House  passed  the  following 
resolution : 

"  Several  members  of  the  House  being  absent,  whereby  the  Public  Business  has 
been  greatly  retarded.  Ordered,  That  the  Sergeant  at  Arms  do  give  Notice  forthwith 
to  Benjamin  Holmes,  Robert  Friend  Price,  John  Combs,  John  Wetherill,  Azariah 
Dunham,  and  William  Winds,  Esquires,  to  attend  their  Service  here  immediately." 

The  patriotic  members  of  the  Assembly  were  aware  of,  and  s^'mpathized  with  the 
causes  which  led  to  their  absence;  and  a  few  days  later  voted  a  leave  of  absence  to 
them. 

In  1775-6  Colonel  Dunham  was  a  member  of  the  Provincial  Congress  of  this 
State,  and  by  that  body  was  appointed  one  of  the  Committee  of  Safety,  which  sat, 
with  extraordinary  powers,  during  its  recess.  He  was  an  active  member  of  the  Pro- 
vincial Congi'ess,  and  was  on  committees  to  draft  various  important  measures  :  among 
others,  a  "  resolution  respecting  apprehending  deserters  from  the  Continental  troops  ;" 
an  "ordinance  to  compel  payment  of  tax  of  £10,000  in  1775,  from  such  persons  as 
have  refused  to  pay  the  same;"  also  an  "  ordinance  for  emitting  £30,000  of  credit,'' 

and  for  the  purchase  of  saltpetre,  etc.,  in  1775.  He  was  one  of  the  Masters  to  review 
companies  raised  in  the  Province  in  1775-6;  and  one  of  the  committee  "to  adjust 
and  settle  the  accounts  of  powder  furnished  to  Earl  Sterling  by  Somerset,  Brunswick, 
Woodbridge,  and  Elizabeth"  in  1775.    In  1776  he  was  Lieat.-Colonel  of  the  2d  Bat-

"  Supeiintendent  of  Purchaees"  for  the  Province,  and  of  "  Commissioner  to  raise 
troops" — positions  to  which  he  had  been  appointed  by  the  Provincial  Congress,  and 
which  he  held  until  the  close  of  the  war.  He  was  appointed  one  of  the  signers  of  the 
Jersey  Bills  of  Credit  foi-  the  Eastern  Department  of  the  State.  He  embarked  a 
large  part  of  his  ample  means  in  the  cause  of  his  country,  and  died  at  a  ripe  old  age 
in  1790. 

John  Berrien, 

The  grandfather  of  the  late  John  McPherson  Berrien,  of  Georgia,  was  appointed 
Associate  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Province,  February  20,  1764.  He 
was  a  surveyor,  as  appears  by  the  following  sneer  of  the  Tory  historian  of  New  York, 
William  Smith.  Referring  to  the  death  of  Chief- Justice  Morris,  he  says  :  "  Frank- 
lin has  put  Charles  Read  in  his  place  upon  the  bench,  and  filled  up  Read's  with  one 
John  Berrien,  a  babbling  country  surveyor,  not  fit  to  be  a  deputy  to  any  sheriff  in 
England." — Contributions  to  East  Jersey  History,  180.  Notwithstanding  Smith's 
opinion,  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  he  was  a  man  of  integrity  and  ability,  or  the 
Legislature  would  not  have  associated  him  with  such  high-toned  gentlemen  as  com- 
posed the  Commission.  He  died  in  the  latter  part  of  April,  1772,  leaving  a  widow 
and  six  children. 

Abraham  Clabk 

Was  born  at  Elizabethtown,  February  15,  1726.  He  was  the  only  child  of  Alder- 
man Thomas  Clark.  He  married  Sarah  Hetfield  in  1743.  In  early  life  his  particular 
studies  were  mathematics  and  law,  which  fitted  him  for  surveying  and  giving  legal 
advice.  He  was  not  by  profession  a  lawyer,  but  gave  advice  gratuitously.  This 
procured  for  him  the  honorable  title  of  the  ''  poor  man's  counsellor."  His  services 
were  frequently  sought  as  arbitrator  in  questions  concerning  land  titles.  Under  the 
Colonial  Goverinnent  he  was  High  Sheriff  of  Essex,  and  Clerk  of  the  Assembly'. 
At  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution  he  became  a  member  of  the  Committee  of 
Public  Safety.  He  was  appointed  a  Delegate  to  the  Provincial  Congress,  June  21, 
1776.     A  few  days  after  his  appointment  he  affixed  his  name  to  the  Declaration  of

30,  1776,  and  with  the  exception  of  1779,  was  annually  re-elected  until  1783.  In 
1783  he  again  had  a  seat  in  the  National  Legislature.  In  the  mean  time  he  was  a 
frequent  member  of  the  State  Legislature.  While  in  this  position  he  became  known, 
though  unjustly,  as  the  "  Father  of  the  Paper  Currency."  In  1787  he  was  appointed 
a  m amber  of  the  State  Convention  which  ratified  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
States,  but  owing  to  ill  health  did  not  take  his  seat.  In  1789  he  was  appointed 
a  Commissioner  to  settle  the  accounts  of  the  State  with  the  United  States.  At  the 
next  election  he  was  again  chosen  as  representative  in  Congress,  which  position 
he  held  until  a  short  time  before  his  death.  He  retired  from  public  life  on  the  ad- 
journment of  Congress,  June  9,  1794.  He  died  in  the  autumn  of  1794  from  the 
effects  of  coup  de  soleil,  and  was  buried  in  the  churchyard  at  Rahway.  Over  his 
grave  is  the  following  inscription  :

It  is  well  to  note  that  all  confirmations  of  the  Dutch  grants  were  made  by  Patent 
signed  by  the  Governor  and  major  part  of  his  Council  and  under  the  seal  of  the  Prov- 
ince. Preceding  such  patent,  however,  was  a  warrant  signed  in  the  same  manner, 
directed  to  the  Surveyor  General  who  made  his  return  of  the  survey.  Both  survey 
and  patent  were  recorded  by  the  register.  This  system  continued  until  the  surren- 
der, when  the  governor  ceased  to  be  an  oflBcer  of  the  proprietors  and  they  no  longer 
had  control  of  the  great  seal. — Xixon's  DUjest,  838. 

When  and  how  Nicholas  Bayard  obtained  this  tract  I  do  not  know,  but  it  was  at

liolders  of  IJergen  granted  to  him  "  full  power  and  authority  to  Build  erect  and  set  up 
on  the  Watei'  Run  of  Wiehaken  a  saw  and  Corn  Mill."  He  was  not  to  cut  any  trees 
within  200  Rods  of  the  upper  fence  by  Espatin,  nor  within  the  sanie  distance  of  the 
lower  fence  of  Wiehaken,  and  was  to  keep  only  three  cows,  for  which  he  was  to  pay 
to  Bergen  six  guilders  a  head,  and  for  liorses  nine  guilders,  "  which  horses  are  to  be 
working  horses  and  none  other  without  consent." 

By  liis  will,  dated  May  7,  1707,  proved  April  19,  1711,  he  left  his  real  estate  in- 
cluding Weehawken  to  liis  son  Samuel. 

The  following,  in  connection  with  this  tract,  will  be  interesting  to  the  curious 
reader:

Stephen  Bayard,  the  son  of  Samuel,  inherited  this  lot,  and  by  will  dated  January 
31,  1753,  proved  February  9,  1757,  gave  it,  along  Avith  the  ferry  grant,  to  his  son 
Robert.  It  was  confiscated  as  the  property  of  William,  and  sold  by  the  agent  of  For- 
feited Estates  to  Jacobus  J.  Bogert,  May  11,  1784,  and  by  him  to  John  Stevens,

■"■  Nicholas  Varleth  or  Varlet,  was  a  man  of  note.  The  first  his  name  appears  in 
the  records  of  New  Netherlands  is  December  9, 1652.  From  this  time  his  success  was 
remarkable.  October  14,  1656,  having  lost  his  wife,  he  married  Aima,  the  sister  of 
Governeur  Stuyvesant,  and  widow  of  Samuel  Bayard.  April  7,  16.57,  he  was  ap- 
pointed Commissary  of  Imports  and  Exports  ;  April  17,  1657,  he  was  admitted  to  the 
rights  of  a  small  burgher;  April  23,  1658,  became  ''collector,"  also  "Farmer  of 
Duties  on  Exports  and  Imports  to  and  from  New  England  and  Virginia."  In  the 
same  year  being  "  an  old  and  suitable  person,"  he  was  invested  with  the  "  Great 
Burgher  Eight,"  and  appointed  "  Searcher  and  Inspector,"  and  "  Commissary  of  the 
Company's  Stores."  February  27,  1660,  he  was  sent  with  Brian  Newton  as  ambassa- 
dor to  Virginia,  "  to  condole  the  death  of  Gov.  Matthews,  to  pi-opose  a  league  ofien- 
sive  and  defensive  against  the  Indians,  to  conclude  a  commercial  treaty,  and  to  request 
permission  to  enlist"  men  for  the  New  Netherlandarmy. — N.  Y.  Col.  MSiS.,  ix.  101 ; 
was  named  a  commissioner  to  agree  on  terms  of  capitulation,  September  6, 1664  ;  ap- 
pointed captain  of  the  militia  in  Bergen,  Gamoenepan,  Ahasimus,  and  Hooboocken, 
October  6,  1665;  on  the  same  day  a  member  of  the  court  at  Bergen,  and  on  the 
first  of  November  following  a  member  of  Carteret's  Council.  These  positions  he 
continued  to  hold  for  several  years.     He  died  in  the  summer  of  1675. 

In  the  patent  from  Cartaret,  this  tract  is  said  to  contain  276  acres.  At  what 
time  Varlet  obtained  possession  of  it  is  not  known,  but  it  was  previous  to  March, 
1656,  iV  Y.  Col.  MSS.,  vi.  347.  He  received  a  patent  for  it,  said  to  contain  138 
morgens,  February  5,  1663. 

He  left  two  children,  Abraham  and  Susanna.  Abraham,  born  1650 ;  was  Clerk 
in  the  Office  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Province  in  1673,  and  a  commissioner  to  admin- 
ister the  oath  of  allegiance  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  towns  in  Achter  Col  (New 
Jersey)  in  1673.  He  left  the  Province  in  1675 ;  entered  the  Dutch  East  India 
Company's  service,  and  afterwards  died  in  the  city  jail  at  Ceylon.  I  have  heard 
that  Prof.  Dodd,  of  Princeton,  discovered  a  deed  from  him  to  Samuel  Bayard  among 
the  Bayard  papers.  Susanna  married  Jan  or  Johannis  DeForest,  June  8,  1673.  In 
a  controversy  which  arose  between  the  widow  of  Varlet  and  her  two  children  in  1C76, 
Samuel  Edsell  and  Peter  Stoutenburgh  acted  as  agents  for  Abraham,  then  absent. 
Oloffe  Stevenson  Van  Courtlandt,  William  Beekman,  Francis  Eombout,  and  Gulian 
Ver  Planck  acted  as  arbitrators.  Their  award,  dated  August  22,  1676,  was  that 
afler  satisfying  the  four  children  by  her  former  husband,  Samuel  Bayard,  according 
to  the  terms  of  their  will  out  of  Varlet's  property,  the  residue  should  belong  to  her 
and  the  two  Varlet  children.  Susanna  had  four  children,  viz. :  Nicholas,  born 
February  4,  1675 ;  Susanna,  born  January  4,  1677 ;  Sara,  born  April  10,  1678 ;  and 
Sara,  born  March  12,  1680.  The  only  one  who  survived  the  age  of  childhood  was 
Susanna,  who  married  Robert  Hickman.  Hickman  et  ux,  sold  Hoboken  to 
Samuel  Bayard  for  £.500,  June  13,  1711  ;  deed  acknowledged  before  Judge  Pinhorne. 
He  left  it   to  his  son  Stephen,  who  by  his  will  dated  Jan.  31,  1753,  proved  Feb.

the  Revolution,  and  it  was  confiscated  to  the  State.  He  joined  the  army  ol 
the  King,  May  1,  1777,  as  per  inquisition  made  at  the  house  of  Stephen  Bogert,  near 
the  Pond  Church,  Oct.  21,  1779.  Thereupon  a  writ  dated  Jan.  30,  1784,  issued

feited Estates  in  Bergen  County,  to  sell  and  dispose  of  all  the  land  belonging  to 
Bayard.  He  sold  the  tract  in  question  to  John  Stevens,  Junior,  of  New  York,  March 
16,  1784,  for  £18,330.  The  deed  of  Haring  to  Stevens  was  dated  July  2fi,  1784,  and 
conveyed  564  acres.  In  1804  the  upland  was  mapped  out,  and  the  map  entitled,  "  A

*  Thip  patent€e  came  from  Purmerent,  a  town  about  twelve  milps  from  Amster- 
dam. He  Avas  sometimes  called  Claas  Jansen  Van  Purmerent.  In  1<)38  he  leased 
from  Planck  one  morgen  of  land  on  Pauliis  Hook  for  a  tobacco  plantation.  He  was 
residing  there  in  1643.     He  was  sometimes  known  by  the  name  of  Jan  Pottagie, 

amjlict  "  Soup  Johnny."   His  first  wife  was  Pietersje,  daughter  of Brackhoengie, 

by  whom  he  had  three  children.  Tluough  his  wife  he  inherited  certain  lands  at 
Gowanus.  He  was  well  versed  in  the  Indian  language,  and  therefore  able  occasion- 
ally to  communicate  important  facts  to  the  Dutch  Government.  Previous  to  16,56  his 
wife  died,  for  on  Nov.  11,1656,  he  married  Annetje  Van  Vorst,  daughter  of  Pauw's 
old  "commander,"  and  defendant  in  the  cause  cehhre,  Cock  vs.  Van  Vorst,  New  Amst. 
Jicc,  i.  123,  148,  449,  4fJ3.  He  then  went  to  reside  in  "Ahasymus,"  and  in  Oct., 
1664,  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  to  the  English  government.  He  was  elected  Schepen 
for  "Ahasymus"  in  the  Bergen  court,  Aug.  31,  1674  ;  took  an  active  part  with  his 
neighbors  in  annoying  the  occupants  of  the  Duke's  Farm ;  was  appointed  by  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  of  New  Jersey  in  1682,  one  of  the  Surveyors  of  Highways  in  Bergen 
County,  and  is  named  in  the  Act,  "  Clause  Jansen  Van  Sarmarant." — Learning  and 
Spicer,  257. 

The  Patent  describes  those  lots  as  follows  : 

Lot  No.  4,  lying  N.  E.  of  the  house  where  Jacob  Stoffelsen  dwelt,  S.  W.  of  Ide 
Cornellisen  Van  Voorst ;  in  size,  20  rods  on  S.  E.  and  N.  W.  sides  and  21  rods  on 
N.  E.  side. 

Lot  No.  7  was  25x100  rods  in  garden  and  orchard. 

Lot  Xo.  8  was  a  farm  lot,  lying  N.  E.  of  the  cart  way.  In  size  it  was  12  3-10  rods 
along  the  cart  way,  19  rods  on  the  E.  side,  18  3-10  jods  on  W.  side,  and  17  3-10  rods

These  lots  (except  No.  133)  were  taken  out  of  the  West  India  Company's  Farm. 
Among  the  patentee's  children  were  Cornelis,  born  March  21,  16.59,  and  Uendrich,  bom 
May  10,  1676.  Long  before  his  death,  he  abandoned  the  name  of  "  Van  Purmerent," 
and  was  known  as  "  Kuyper,"  probably  from  his  being  a  cooper.  This  name  his  children 
retained  until  his  family  became  extinct.  He  died  intestate,  Nov.  30,  1688,  and  liis 
property  was  inherited  by  his  eldest  son  Cornelius.  On  June  12.  1714,  Jansen 's 
widow  (.who  signed  her  name  "  Annetje  Cornelis,"  though  in  the  body  of  the  deed 
named  "Anna  Cooper."!  and  her  son  Cornelius  for  £220  sold  to  her  son  Hendrick

porated Nov.  10,  1804.  To  this  body  Varick,  Radcliff  and  Dey  conveyed  the  Hook, 
Feb.  1,  1805.  From  this  company  comes  the  title  to  the  lots  in  old  Jersey  City. 
They  were  at  first  sold  subject  to  a  quit-rent.  Only  a  few  lots  remain  subject  to 
this  rent,  the  title  to  most  of  them  having  been  perfected  by  payment  of  a  sum  in  gross.

werie  at  Ahassiinus,  where  he  continued  to  reside  until  his  death  in  1677.  In  1639  he 
married  the  widow  of  Cornelis  Van  Voorst,  and  in  1657,  being  a  widower,  married

was  admitted  to  the  rights  of  a  Small  Burgher,  New  Neth.  Register,  183.  He  was  an 
uneducated  man,  but  greatly  respected,  and  ofconsiderable  influence  with  the  Indians. 
This  tract  was  taken  out  of  the  West  India  Company's  Farm.  It  was  irregular 
in  shape,  but  this  diagram  will  show  its  location. 
The  lines  between  Hiram  Gilbert,  its  then  owner,  and 
Cole's  estate  were  straightened,  Aug.  26,  1838,  by  an 
exchange  of  property. 

It  was  laid  out,  Sept.  20,  1677,  and  confirmed  Nov. 
10,  1677,  to  Casper  Steinmets  in  right  of  Trintje  Wal-

At  an  early  date  Mattys  De  •  Mott  became  the 
owner,  and  by  will,  dated  Dec.  13,  1755,  proved  June 
8,  1756,  gave  it  to  his  sons  Michael  and  Joris,  who 
held  as  joint  tenants.  Michael  married  Claesje  Winne,  but  died  Nov.  16,  1799,  intes- 
tate, and  without  issue.  His  widow,  by  will  dated  the  May  17,  1787,  proved  Jan. 
27,  1789,  gave  to  the  children  of  her  brother  John  Winne  one-half  of  her  property, 
and  the  other  half  to  the  children  of  her  brother  Levinus.  What  realty  passed  by 
her  will  I  do  not  know.  George  died  Sept.  9,  1800,  unmarried.  By  will  dated  April 
5,  1794,  codicil  Aug.  26,  1800,  proved  Oct.  9,  1804,  he  gave  to  Michael,  son  of  his

two  sons,  Henry  B.  and  Michael  H.,  and  three  daughters).  These  heirs  and  devisees 
by  five  several  deeds  in  1835,  conveyed  the  same  to  Hiram  Gilbert,  Cyrus  S.  Browning,

Governor  Stuyvesant.  The  tract  lies  S.  of  Newark  avenue,  at  the  foot  of  the 
hill,  and  N.  of  the  Point  of  Rocks.  The  title  seems  to  have  descended  until  we 
find  it  in  Peter  Stuyvesant  in  1764.  He  died  Aug.  10,  1770.  By  will  dated  July 
7,  1767,  proved  Sept.  2d,  1770,  he  gave  all  his  realty  to  his  son  Peter,  whose 
will  was  dated  Nov.  20,  1821 ;  proved  Jan.  9, 1822.  It  is  probable  that  he  disposed

Was  this  an  original  patent,  or  had  the  governor  some  private  claim  to  it  pre- 
vious to  the  surrender?  Again,  have  these  Stuyvesants  been  recognized  as  among 
the  governor's  descendants?  I  think  not.  Whs,  then,  was  the  Pe^rits  .S'h(7/resaw<  of

"Prioi-'s  Mill;"  and  the  house  lot  refei-red  to  was  S.  of  Communipaw  avenue  and

by  James  Alexender,  Feb.  15,  1723,  the  "  black  oak  burnt  stump"  was  found  to 
be  26  rods  beyond  the  200  rods  named  in  the  patent.  In  this  survey  the  place  is 
called  "  Pannonia  alias  Communipan."  Cos's  second  wife  was  Grietje  Maes,  widow 
of  Claas  Teunissen,  whom  he  married  Dec.  31,  1656.  By  her  he  had  no  chil-

to  his  son  Cornelius,  who,  by  will  dated  April  16,  1814,  gave  this  tract  to  liis  sons

Van  Home  died  intestate,  and  the  lot  was  partitioned  among  his  children,  viz. : 
Margaret,  Hartman  V.  and  Garret,  Aug.  14,  1348,  and  in  1856  sold  to  William

Bergen  Point  Plank  Road,  N.  E.  I"i0x200  Dutch  rods=40  niorgens.  For  this  he 
received  a  Patent  Nov.  27,  16.54.     Land  Papers  [Albany]  H.  H.  26. 

Lot  No.  13  was  30x140  Dutch  rods^7  morgens,  lying  behind  Swane  Punt,  and 
along  the  foot  of  the  hill  N.  of  Hudson  Ave. 

This  lot  was  included  in  the  gift  of  the  Dutch  West  India  Company  to  Jan 
Evertse  Bout,  and  in  his  deed  to  Michael  Jansen.  Vide  Note  to  Hartmans  \st  Patent, 
p.  11.  Jansen's  widow,  Fitje  Hartmans,  sold  it  to  de  Backer,  Dec.  20,  1667.  In  this 
deed  was  a  clause  that  the  grantee  should  not  alienate  without  giving  the  grantor  the 
preference  of  i-epurchasing.  De  Backer  sold  the  whole  tract  to  Hendiick  George, 
May  30, 1677.  My  opinion  is  that  the  grantee  was  none  other  than  Hendrick  Joris 
(aiKjlice  George)  Van  Blinkerhoef.  He  conveyed  it  to  his  son  Cornelius,  Feb.  24, 
1708,  who  by  will  dated  Sept.  22,  1755,  proved  Oct.  25, 1770,  gave  to  his  sou  Hendrick 
these  lots  and  a  farm  at/'Perabrepog,''  also  ail  his  lands  in  the  township. 

Hendrick  was  a  bachelor.  By  will  dated  Sept.  22,  1792,  he  gave  to  Hendrick, 
son  of  his  brother  Hartman,  the  lots  in  question  ;  also  a  wood  lot  at  Slonga,  the  Cedar 
Swamp  and  meadow  at  Secaucus ;  land  and  meadow  near  Brown's  Ferry ;  a  lot  of 
woodland  at  B.^i-gea  Point,  and  the  woodland  and  meadow  adjudged  to  him 
for  the  Patent  of  Secaucus,  at  a  place  called  the  Maize  Land.  This  devisee  had  one 
son,  Hartman,  Avho  died  belore  his  father,  leaving  three  sons,  Henry,  Cornelius,  and 
John.  By  Hendrick's  will,  dated  Feb.  12,  1834,  proved  March  2S,  1838,  he  gave  to  his 
grandson  Henry  the  farm  at  Connnuuipaw  (in  Hartnian's  first  Patent)  and  a  strip 
through  this  lot  adjoining  E.  side  of  Monticello  Ave.,  and  to  his  grandsons  Cornelius 
and  John  he  gave  the  remainder  of  the  tract  in  question.

dated  the  twelfth  Day  of  May  One  thousand  Six  hundred 
and  sixty  Eight,  for  a  Tract  of  Land  lying  at  Comunipan. 

®Ul*  <SUf  bfg  whereof  shews  and  we  adjudge  it  to  be  a  Tract 
(which  on  the  Map  is  mark'd  No.   14.)* 

This  diagram  will  show  the  divi- 
sion and  what  was  sold  of  Lots  No. 
12  and  13.  Henry  sold  his  share  of 
the  "  bush  lot "  to  David  B.  Wake- 
man  May  1,  1852.  The  division 
among  the  brothers  being  imperfect? 
a  decree  in  chancery  was  obtained  in 
1852,  confirming  tlie  same.  Aaron 
Tuers  owned  a  house  lot  in  the  S. 
side  of  Cornelius'  share.  Cornelius 
died  seized  and  intestate  June  13, 
185L  His  executors  sold  6  92-100 
acres  out  of  the  N.  side  of  his  share  W.  of  Palisade  Ave.  (marked  A)  to  Bernhard 
Vetterlein.  This  sale  was  confirmed  by  the  Orphan's  Court,  Oct.  Term,  1857.  The 
residue  vvas  divided  between  his  two  children  Cornelius  and  Eleanor  C.  (now  wife  of 
Wm.  H.  Speer).  Cornelius  took  Nos.  2,  3,  6,  8,  9.  Eleanor  C.  took  Nos.  1,  4,  5,  7, 
11. 

This  partition  was  made  in  1857,  by  commissioners,  report  confirmed  Oct.  Term, 
1857. 

Out  of  the  N.  W.  corner  of  the  tract  adjoining  the  school  lot  Henry  Brinkerhoff 
sold  to  Casparus  Prior,  June  29,  1829,  4  32-100  acres.  This  on  a  partition  of  his 
estate  fell  to  his  gi-andson  Michael,  who  sold  to  Jacob  M.  Merselis.  Vide  Note  to 
VarMs  Patent,  p.  62.  About  the  same  date  he  sold  the  front  along  Bergen  Ave.  to 
other  parties.  These  sales  included  all  the  land  between  Bergen  and  Monticello  Aves. 
*  This  lot  was  a  part  of  the  farm  sold  by  Jau  Evertse  Bout  to  the  patentee's  hus- 
band, Michael  Jansen,  for  8,000  Florins,  and  for  which  a  deed  was  given  Sept.  9,  1656.

iirOinntUfi  at  a  stone  (on  the  Northwest  side  of  York  Bay  or  Hud- 
son's River  which  is  also  the  Place  of  Beginning  of  Claas  Pietersen 
Cors's  Patent; ;  which  Stone  stands  .in  the  Middle  of  a  Road  and  is 
ninety   seven   Links  from   the  south    Corner  of  Myndert   Garabrants's 

Bout's  title  came  by  the  following  Patent.     I  give  a  tianslation  ;  the  original  is  in 
the  possession  of  John  C.  Van.  Home: 

"  We  AVilliiun  Kieft,  Governor  General  and  Council  under  the  High  and  Mighty 
Lords,  States  General  of  the  United  Netherlands,  His  Highness  of  Orange  and  the 
Honble.  the  Directors  of  the  authorized  West  India  Company,  residing  in  New 
Netherlands,  make  known  and  declare  that  on  this  day  liere  underwritten,  we  have 
gi/en  and  granted  Jan.  Everse  Bout,  a  piece  of  land  lying  on  the  North  Kiver  west- 
ward from  Fort  Amsterdam,  before  these,  pastured  and  tilled  by  Jan  Everee,  named 
Ganioenepaen  and  Jan  de  Lacher's  Houck,  with  the  meadows  as  the  same  lay  within 
the  post  and  rail  fence,  containing  eighty-four  morgens. 

In  testimony  whereof  is  these  by  us  signed  and  with  our  Seal  ccnfiimed  in  Fort 
Amsterdam  in  New  Netherlands,  the  which  laud  Jan  Everse  took  possession  ot  in 
Anno  1638,  and  began  then  to  plow  and  sow  it. 

WILLEM  KIEFT, 
By  Order  of  the  Honble.  Gov'r  Genl 
[L.  S.]  and  Council  of  New  Netherland. 

CoKNELis  Van  Tienhoven,  Sec'y." 
No  date  appears  in  the  deed,  but  it  must  have  been  given  about  1641.  It  was  a 
free  gift  to  him  from  the  Company.  Jansen  bought  about  1647,  and  paid  for  his  pur- 
chase in  installments.  He  and  Bout  agreed  concerning  the  balance  due,  June  9,  lt55, 
and  it  was  not  until  the  whole  consideration  was  paid  that  he  received  his  deed.  The 
tract  lay  S.  of  Communipaw  Ave.  and  extended  to  the  creek  which  yet  empties  into 
the  bay  on  the  S.  side  of  the  Abattoir.  The  Patent  called  for  107  acres.  The  patentee 
died  seized  Oct.  17,  1697. 

By  will  she  left  all  ofher  lands  to  her  children,  Elias,  Enoch.  Johannis,  Hartman, 
Cornelis,  Jannetjc,  and  Pryntje.  These  partitioned,  June  26,  1701,  but  owing  to  the 
uncertainties  of  the  boundaries  it  is  impossible  to  give  the  location  of  the  several 
allotments. 

Enoch  Vreeland,  son  of  the  above-named  Enoch,  sold,  May  7j  171U,  to  Rutgert 
Van  Home,  then  living  at  Pembrepogh,  a  lot  at  Communipaw,  but  where  located,  or 
of  what  size,  is  not  stated.  But  it  seems  to  have  been  the  allotment  of  Enoch  in  the 
general  partition,  and  by  him  sold  to  his  son.  The  consideration  in  the  deed  of 
Enoch  to  Van  Home  was  one  pepper  corn,  when  demanded  by  his  father  Enoch 
Michielse  of  Pembrepogh.  Jannetje  married  Dirck  Teunissen  Van  Vechten.  Her 
son  Michael  sold  to  Rutgert  Van  Home  (then  living  at  Communipaw)  April  14,  1715, 
the  portion  which  in  the  division  fell  to  his  mother.  It  is  described  as  "  extending  up 
to  the  Brook  commonly  called  the  Oif-fall,  then  through  tlie  meadow  along  said  Brook 
to  Grawss  Point."  This  I  take  to  be  the  tract  on  which  John  G.  Van  Home  re- 
cently lived. 

Elias  died  seized  of  his  lot  obtained  in  the  general  partition.  The  children, 
Michael,  Jacob,  Fitje,  wife  of  John  Thomas,  of  Elizabethtown,and  Bachcl,  sold  the  same, 
together  with  a  house  lot  and  other  lands,  to  Lawrence  Van  Galen,  June  24,  1707. 
The  deed  limited  the  fee  to  the  grantee,  his  wife,  and  the  heirs  of  their  bodies.  He 
sold  the  same  to  Rutgert  Van  Home,  March  24,  1710.  His  childi-en,  Catherine  wife 
of  Loof  borrow,  and  Margaret  wife  of  Thomas  Hadden,  quit-claimed  their  in- 
terest therein  to  George  Ross,  of  Elizabethtown,  and  Isaac  Ogden,  of  Newark,  Feb.

House  on  a  Course  South  fifteen  Degrees  and  thirty  Minutes  East ;  And 
is  ninety  six  Links  from  the  East  Corner  of  CorneHus  Brinkerhooft's 
House  on  a  Course  South  forty  nine  Degrees  and  thirty  Minutes  East ; 
And  from  said  Stone  runs  along  the  Road  or  Highway  North  thirty  one 

27,  17(54.  On  the  22d  day  of  May  following,  Ebenezer  Foster  and  Catherine  Loof- 
borrovv  sold  the  same  to  John  Van  Home. 

Pryntje  married  Andries  Claesen,  and  had  three  sons,  Michael,  Abraham,  and 
Claas,  who  inherited  their  mother's  share  in  the  partition.  Michael  and  Abraham 
sold  their  interest  therein  to  Claas,  who  sold  to  Rutgert  Van  Home,  Aug.  29,  1721, 
the  "  House,  home  lot  and  garden  on  the  W.  side  of  the  road,"  also  land  and  meadow, 
"  beginning  at  the  road  on  the  N.  W.  bounds  of  Cornelis  Michielse,  and  so  along  said 
bounds  to  the  great  Creek,  then  along  said  Creek  to  stones  laid  by  .said  Claas  and 
Cornelius  Hendricksen  Van  Blinkei-hofl",  so  along  said  Stones  to  the  road,  then  along 
said  road  to  the  Beginning." 

These  several  deeds  seem  to  me  to  vest  in  Rutgert  Van  Home  title  to  all  the 
land  S.  of  Communipaw  AVe.,  from  BrinkerhofF's  line  on  the  E.,  to  the  Off-fall 
brook  on  the  W.  By  Van  Home's  Avill,  dated  June  6,  1740,  proved  June  8,  1741,  he 
gave  to  his  only  son  John  all  his  lands  at  Communipaw.  John,  by  his  will  dated  Dec.  6, 
1757,  proved  Dec.  29, 1757,  gave  to  his  son  John  the  same  lands.  This  devisee,  by  will 
dated  Sept.  22, 1786,  proved  Jan.  23,1787,  gave  the  same  to  his  two  sons,  John  and  Gar- 
ret, except  the  dwelling-house  which  he  gave  to  his  son  John.  Garret  died  seized  April 
7,  1808,  leaving  his  property  to  his  two  children,  John  G.  and  Myndert.  These  two 
and  their  uncle  John  partitioned  Dec.  13,  1827,  they  taking  the  land  lying  adjoining 
the  Off-fall,  and  he  the  land  lying  between  their  tract  and  Washington  Ave.,  and 
what  lay  in  the  rear  of  Brinkerhoff's  land.  In  a  partition  between  John  G.  and 
Myndert,  April  14,  1838,  John  G.  received  most  of  the  land  left  to  them  by  their 
father  lying  in  this  Patent  adjoining  Communipaw  Ave.,  and  Myndert  a  lot  S.  of 
John  G.  John  (the  uncle)  died  Aug.  29,  1843.  By  will  dated  Aug.  12, 1843,  he  gave 
his  property  to  his  son  John,  and  grandchildren,  Agnes  wife  of  Garret  Van  Home, 
and  Jane  wife  of  Peter  V.  B.  Vreeland,  children  of  his  son  Peter.  John  took  the 
land  lying  east  of  John  G.  Van  Home,  and  extending  from  Communipaw  Ave.  S. 
Jane  took  what  lay  S.  of  John  and  W.  of  Washington  Ave.  Agnes  took  what 
lay  S.  of  Brinkerhoff  and  E.  of  Washington  Ave.  Jane  died  seized  in  1871.  Agnes 
sold  to  James  Stevens,  William  W.  Edwards,  and  Andrew  McKnight. 

Lawrence  Van  Galen  sold  to  Cornelius  Blinckerhofe,  May  22,  1710,  a  house  lot 
on  the  S.  W.  corner  of  Communipaw  Ave.  and  the  Bay.  It  remained  in  the  family 
until  Jan.  5,  1831,  when  Henry  sold  it  to  Nicholas  J.  Prior.  The  Brinkerhoff  lot 
was  bought  at  an  early  date.  It  was  sold  by  Hendrick  to  his  son  Cornelius,  Feb.  24, 
1708,  and  was  then  bounded  N.  by  the  "wagon  or  cartway  of  Gemonipa,  E.  and  W. 
by  Fitje  Hartmans,  and  S.  by  the  creek  "behind  the  Swan's  Point."  Cornelius,  by 
his  will  dated  Sept.  22,  1755,  gave  this  lot  to  his  son  Hendrick,  who  devised  it  to  his 
nephew  Hendrick,  who  devised  it  to  his  grandson  Henry,  who  died  seized,  leaving 
one  son.  Garret.     Fide  Note  to  De  Backers  Patent,  p.  10. 

Paul  Douwesse  sold  to  Rutgert  Van  Home,  May  18,  1702,  a  lot  on  the  shore= 
15  morgens,  S.  W.  of  Cornelius  Vreeland.  Michael  Vreeland,  of  Stony  Point,  sold 
to  Johannis  Vreeland,  of  Communipaw,  July  1, 1771,  in  exchange  for  land  on  "  Rack- 
pogas,"  the  land  in  the  rear  of  the  house  lots  from  the  avenue  down  to  the  creek,  as 
per  deed  of  June  26,  1701.  Of  this  Johannis  died  seized  and  intestate.  It  was  inherited 
by  his  on]y  child  Antje,  wife  of  Johannis  Van  Wagenen,  of  Teaneck,  who  sold  12f  acres 
to  John  Van  Horne,  Dec.  7, 1790.      Vide  Note  to  Lot  303,  p.  133.     This  I  take  to  be  the

land  bought  by  the  New  Jersey  Stock  Yard  and  Market  Company  of  Jacob  Van  Home 
in  1866.  Abraham  Sickles  (wlio  married  an  Outwater)  sold  to  Peter  Garrabrants,  May 
1,  1811,  3  4-100  acres  in  the  rear  of  theCommunipaw  lots,  being  one-half  of  what  was 
allotted  to  the  heirs  of  Guilliam  Outwater.  The  heirs  of  Lozier  sold  to  John  Van  Home 
6  35-100  acres  W.  of  Brinkerhoff 's  lot,  E.  of  Outwater,  and  S.  of  Communipaw  Ave., 
April  28,  1817,  and  to  Garret  M.  Vreeland  5i  acres  and  28  perches  of  meadow  S.  W. 
of  Van  Home  and  Brinkerhoff,  April  2,  1817. 

The  village  of  Commu- 
nipaw—older  than  Bergen 
— lies  within  this  Patent. 
A  number  of  small  lots  on 
the  shore  were  sold  to 
different  persons,  who 
here  huddled  within  the 
stockades  for  protection. 
Among  these  early  own- 
ers was  Dirk  Claesen, 
the  owner  of  Raccocus 
and  Cavan  Point.  In 
the  division  of  his  prop- 
erty this  house  lot  fell  to 
his  son-in-law,  Hartman 
Michielse  Vreeland,  who 
left  it  to  his  sou  Michael, 
who  left  it  to  his  son 
Claas,  who  left  it  to  his  grandsons  Xirholas  and  Garret.  Garret  took  the  S.  W. 
half  and  sold  to  David  Bush,  May  15,  1820,  and  Nicholas  took  the  N.  E.  half  and 
sold  to  Daniel  Welsh,  Nov.  16,  1822.  Vide  Note  to  Claasen's  1st  Patent,  p.  12,  It 
was  a  double  house,  and  Bush  took  down  his  part.  The  part  owned  by  Welsh  is  yet 
standing  and  inhabited.

.  Lawrence  Van  Galen,  who  married  Fitje  Vreeland,  grand- 
i  daughter  of  the  patentee,  inherited  a  part  of  the  tract.  His 
children, CtoAeriwe,  wife  of Loofborrow,  and  Margaret,  wid- 
ow of  Thomas  Hadden,  with  one  Ebenezer  Foster,  vide  Note 
to  Hartman's  1st  Patent,  p.  11,  sold  to  Joseph  Waldron  Nov.  7, 
17t)l,  a  lot  in  the  N.  W.  corner  of  the  Patent,  said  to  contain 
4  192-1000  acres.  Waldron  owned  lot  A,  B,  C,  D,  and  E,  which 
was  more  land  than  called  for  in  Van  Galen's  deed.  It  is  prob- 
able that  Waldron  sold  A.  B.  to  John  Kelly  prior  to  1800. 
Kelly  sold  A  to  Walter  Clendenny,  June  10,  1801,  and  B  to 
John  Kelly,  Jr.,  July  20, 1815.  A  part  of  this,  Kelly,  Jr.,  sold 
to  Benjamin  F.  Welsh,  June  10,  1819,  who  sold  to  Stephen

July  30, 1814,  gave  it  to  his  sons,  Cornelius  and  Peter.  It  contained  2i  acres.  Peter  sold 
to  Daniel  Vreeland,  May  28,  1817.  Cornelius  did  not  convey,  but  his  only  child,  Jane, 
widow  of  Cornelius  Van  Horne,released  to  Andrew  Clerk,  June  9,1851.  Waldi-on  sold  D 
=li  acres, to  Daniel  Sickles,  June  28, 1766  (deed  unrecorded).  Sickles  died  Oct.23,1813. 
By  his  will,  dated  March  6,  1798  (unproved),  he  gave  his  property  to  the  children  of 
his  only  child,  Geertje,  wife  of  Michael  Vreeland,  viz :  Nicholas,  Garret,  Catherine,

Vreeland,  June  16,  1715>,  Abraham,  and  Cornelius  (who  sold  to  Daniel  Vreeland, 
Jan.  1,  1851).  It  is  probable  that  Waldron  sold  E  to  Capt.  Thomas  Brown,  as  it  was 
at  one  time  in  possession  of  his  widow,  who  sold  to  Samuel  Ten  Eyck  Gautier,  Jan. 
6,  1818.  A  colored  servant  of  the  Captain,  known  as  Jack  (John)  Brown,  received 
it  as  a  gift  from  Samuel  T.  Gautier,  Dec.  13,  1828. 

Michael  Hartman  Vreeland,  grandson  of  the  patentee,  owned  part  of  this  tract  in 
1764.  His  will  was  dated  March  19,  1762,  proved  Feb.  4,  1768.  While  there  is  not 
in  it  any  particular  devise  of  his  interest  in  this  lot  to  his  son  Claas,  yet  it  is  certain 
that  Claas  claimed  and  was  in  possession  of  F,  O,  P,  Q,  R,  S,  T.  By  his  will  dated 
July  23,  1801,  proved  May  21,  1803,  he  gave  F  to  his  grandson  Daniel,  who  sold  to 
Stephen  Garretson,  Oct.  22,  1844.  To  his  grandsons  Garret  and  Nicholas,  he  gave

1776.  (He  and  John  held  a  release  for  this  from  Michael  Vreeland,  of  Aquacknonck, 
dated  June  25,  1737).     It  is  probable  that  John  Vreeland  sold  it  to  James  Collerd. 

John  Van  Home  sold  G,  H,  I,  K  to  Joseph  Waldron,  Nov.  1,  1803.  What  in-

*  This  patentee  after  the  death  of  Teunisen  received  a  lease  from  Kieft  of  Hoboken, 
in  about  1(34(5.  He  shortly  after  abandoned  it.  Col.  Hist.  ofN.  Y.,i.  329.  He  was  at  one

The  first  grant  of  this  tract  was  from  Gov.  Kieft  to  Egber^-'W'outerseD,  a  soldier 
in  the  service  of  the  company,  and  the  old  occupant  of  Jan  de  Lacher's  Houck,  May

name  Apopcalyck,  and  "  extended  from  Dirck  the  paver's  Kil  to  Gemoenepaen  or 
Jan  Evertz  Kil."  It  is  probable  that  Claasen  purchased  it  from  Woutersen.  In  Car- 
teret's Patent  it  is  called  Kewan,  and  its  boundaries  begin  at  the  mouth  of  Sycan's 
Creek,  which  was  the  probable  intention  in  Kieft's  Patent.  It  included  all  the  upland 
and  meadow  S.  of  Communipaw  Creek  and  E.  of  Sycan's  Creek=141  acres.  The 
N.  part  was  known  as  Reckpokus  (now  Raccocus)  and  the  S.  part  as  Kewan  (now 
Cavan  Point). 

Claasen's  full  name  was  Dirck  Claasen  Braecke.  He  had  three  daughters,  viz  : 
Maritje,  who  married  Hartman  Michielse  Vreeland,  Claesje,  who  married  Johannis 
Michielse  Vreeland,  and  Metje,  who  married  Cornells  Michielse  Vreeland.  Dirck 
Claasen  died  seized,  March  26,  1693.  His  daughters  inherited  his  property,  and 
with  their  consent  the  same  Avas  divided  among  their  husbands,  Sept.  1,  1696,  as 
follows  : 

Hartman  received  the  part  beginning  in  the  ''meadow  in  the  byte  by  a  poynt 
commonly  called  fish  point  at  a  small  creek  as  it  is  staked  out  up  to  the  upland  of

April  26,  1657. 

This  lot  consisted  of  two  tracts;  1st,  beginning  at  a  creek  coming  out  ot  the 
woods  ^this  was  Straatmaker's  creek  a  little  N.  of  the  line  of  Chestnut  Ave.  in  Green-

this  tract  previous  to  1643.  He  probably  had  his  house  on  the  bluff  by  the  Central 
R.  E.  bridge,  from  which  point  he  could  see  the  field  of  the  Communipaw  massacre, 
■where  he  was  slain  in  February  of  that  year.  After  his  death  the  land  probably  re-

Jacob  sold  to  Matthew  Armstrong,  April  1,  1833,  16  acres  S.  of  Woodlawn  Ave., 
and  6  acres  to  Abraham  Becker,  Nov.  12,  1839,  lying  S.  of  Armstrong,  part  of  which 
Becker  sold  to  Henry  D.  Van  Nostrand.  George  took  the  N.  E.  part  Avhich  he  sold 
to  his  brother  Richard,  July  22,  1833,  who  still  owns  what  he  took  under  his  fa- 
ther's will  and  what  he  bought  from  his  brother  George,  extending  from  Woodlawn 
Ave.  to  the  N  E.  bounds  of  the  Patent ;  except  a  small  lot  E.  of  the  plank  road,  sold 
to  Geo.  W.  Robeson,  now  owned  by  the  heirs  of  Matthew  Armstrong. 

*The  Patent  calls  for  170  Acres.  The  first  owner  was  Barent  Jansen.  This  fact 
is  recited  in  the  Norman's  Patent  Land  Papers  {Albany)  G.  G.  197.  Claas

grant  for  it,  May  25,  1647.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  service  of  the  company.  It  is 
not  known  if  he  purchased  from  Jansen,  or  if  Jansen  abandoned  it.  It  then  con- 
tained 50  niorgens.  The  Norman  sold  it  to  Jan  Vinge  Jan.  19,  l(i55.  Vinge  sold  it 
to  the  "  Virtuous  Annetje  Dircksen,  widow  of  Pieter  Cock,"  who  oAvned  it  in  1662. 
Register  of  Van  Der  Veen,  N.  T.  34.  It  is  probable  that  she  sold  it  to  Lawrens  An- 
driesen,  who  added  to  it  18  niorgens  as  mentioned  in  his  patent.  It  was  probably 
added  to  by  previous  owners,  so  that  witli  the  ISmorgens,  it  now  contained  170  acres. 
It  was  the  first  tract  going  S.  which  extended  from  bay  to  bay  on  which  it  lay  "elbow 
ways."  This  peculiar  position  was  caused  by  the  course  of  Straatmakers  Creek  to 
which  the  lines  of  the  several  Patents  from  this  point  S.  were  made  to  conform. 
Streets  have  been  laid  to  suit  property  lines,  property  lines  were  laid  to  suit  Straat- 
makers Creek,  hence  the  absence  of  right  angles — all  of  which  it  may  be  well  for 
"  Map  Commissions"  to  bear  in  mind. 

By  Andriesen's  will  dated  Aug.  29,  1679,  his  sons  Pieter  and  Thomas  received 
this  tract.  In  what  manner  Thomas'  interest  became  vested  in  I'ieter  I  do  not  know, 
but  Pieter  became  the  sole  owner,  and  bj'  will  dated  Jan.  20,  1735,  proved  Sept.  8, 
1738,  left  it  to  his  sons  Lawrence  and  Andries.  I  iird  a  deed  from  Andries  Van  Bus- 
kiik  to  Michael  Andriesen  of  Communipaw,  dated  March  12,  1718,  for  a  small  lot 
adjoining  Gerrit  G.  Van  Wagenen,  described  as  bounded  at  the  middle  by  the  divi- 
sion fence.  By  the  same  description  Andriesen  sold  it  to  Cornelius  Brinkerhoff  by 
two  deeds,  March  1,  1729,  and  June  30,  1740.  Whatever  passed  by  these  deeds  lay 
within  this  patent  and  Brinkerhoff  yet  owned  it  in  1764,  page  143.  When  or  how 
the  title  thereto  passed  out  of  Brinkerhoff  I  have  not  discovered.  Andries  released 
to  his  brother  Lawrence  his  interest  in  the  farm,  Oct.  14,  1723. 

The  date  of  this  deed  seems  to  indicate  that  the  two  brothers  owned  the  farm 
prior  to  their  father's  will,  probably  by  gift.  The  father  lived  at  Constable's  Hook. 
This  deed  was  proved  before  Robert  Lettis  Hooper,  Chief  Justice  of  New  Jei«ey, 
April  7,  1731. 

Lawrence  died,  seized  Dec.  13,  1752,  leaving  him  surviving  five  children,  viz: 
Cornelius,  Metje,  wife  of  Johannis  La  Grange,  Jannetje,  wife  of  Jacob  Van  Home, 
Fitje,  wife  of  John  Boll,  and  Anna,  wife  of  Thomas  Brown.  By  his  will  dated  Nov. 
7,  1750,  codicil  May  27,  1752,  proved  April  22,  1753.  Cornelius  received  all  his  father's 
real  estate.  He  died,  seized  Feb.  4,  1754,  intestate  and  without  issue.  His  four  sis- 
ters inherited  the  tract  in  question  in  common.  But  Mrs.  Brown  being  then  dead  her 
interest  had  passed  to  her  only  child  Lawrence. 

Thomas  Brown  bought  the  interest  of  Metje,  March  13,  1757.  from  her  two  child- 
ren, John  and  Fitje.  Jacob  Van  Home  et  ux.  sold  an  undivided  quarter  to  George 
Vreeland,  April  1,  1758.  This  quarter  was  afterwards  located  next  to  his  own  land 
and  lay  between  the  "  middle  of  the  mouth  of  Straatmaker's  Creek"  and  the  present 
Chestnut  Ave.  A  deed  for  this  purpose  was  given  to  Vreeland  by  Thomas  Brown  et 
ux.,  and  John  Koll  et  ux.,  June  5,  17iJH.  It  was  said  to  contain  85  acres  and  extended 
from  N.  Y.  Bay.  95  chains  to  Swainpy  Creek.  This  quarter  east  of  the  new  Bergen 
road,  went  to  John  Vreeland  under  his  father's  will.  Vide  Note  to  Si/can's  Patent  p.

John  Koll  et  ux.  took  the  quarter  adjoining  S.  W.  the  quarter  sold  to  George  Vree- 
land.  He  died  Feb.  2,  1761,  and  his  widow  married  Andries  Segaerd,  a  mariner. 
By  will  dated  July  14,  1784,  proved  April  7,  18Ul,  Fitje  Segaerd  gave  this  property 
to  her  grand  daughter,  Mary,  wife  of  Thomas  Cubberly,  for  life  and  after  the  testa- 
trix's death  to  Cubberly's  children,  viz  :  Jacob,  Eliznbeth,  wife  of  Paul  Salter,  Gitty, 
wife  of  Jacob  Ackerman,  Ann,  Avife  of  Joseph  Van  Winkle,  and  Maria  ;  who  sold 
to  George  Vreeland,  July  22,  1833,  that  part  of  Fitje  Segaerd's  quarter  lying  E.  of 
the  old  Bergen  road,  and  also  five  acres  of  meadow  at  Droyer's  Point,  This  quarter 
lay  between  Chestnut  Ave.  and  Linden  Ave. 

Thomas  Brown  et  ux.  had  one  child,  viz  :  Lawrence,  who  was  born  May  18, 1751 
and  died  July  4,  1767,  intestate  and  unmarried.  His  father  then  purchased  the  inter- 
est of  his  son's  three  aunts,  who  had  inherited  his  quarter.  This  gave  him  one  half 
of  the  Patent.  He  married  for  his  second  wife,  Mary,  daughter  of  Samuel  Ten  Eyck, 
Jan.  23,  17.%.  By  this  marriage  was  one  child,  Mary,  born  Oct.  17,  1756,  married 
Andrew  Gautier,  Oct.  6,  1772.  Capt.  Brown  died  seized  Oct.  30, 1782.  Rj  will  dated 
Sept.  21,  1782.  he  gave  all  of  his  property  to  his  two  grandson's  Thomas  and  Daniel 
Gautier ;  to  Thomas  his  N.  Y.  property  and  to  Daniel  his  N.  J.  property.  Daniel 
was  born  Feb.  7,  1776  and  died  Jan.  7,  1791,  intestate  and  without  issue.  His  prop- 
erty was  inherited  by  his  brother  Thomas,  who  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  John 
Leary,  April  28,  1796,  and  died,  Oct.  17,  1802,  leaving  his  widow  and  children, 
Thomas  B.,  Helen  D.  and  Samuel  T. 

To  carry  the  out  will  of  Mary,  the  widow  ot  Thomas  Brown, (who  died  Dec.  8,1818) 
the  widow  Elizabeth,  Thomas  B.  and  Helen  D.  released  to  Samuel  T.  that  part  of  the

in  Common  with  the  Cubberlysand  the  Vreelands,  May  17, 1823.  Samuel  mortgaged 
to  Thomas  B.  Gautier,  May  8,  1824.  This  mortgage  was  foreclosed  and  the  property

«  There  is  an  error  in  the  name  of  the  patentee  as  here  given.  It  should  be  Lubert

to  be  the  only  tract  of  such  a  shape.  I  have  not  seen  any  Dutch  grant  to  Gilbertse. 
The  same  tract,  at  least  40  acres  of  it,  seems  to  liave  been  included  in  another  Patent. 
Vide  Note  to  Jacobse's  Patent,  p.  46.  Van  Wagenen  received  part  of  the  conmions 
allotted  to  Jacobe's  Patent,     p.  196,. 

Gysbertsen  died  seized  and  intestate,  leaving  one  son  and  two  daughters.  The  son 
dying  without  issue,  the  land  passed  to  the  two  daughters,  Anna  and  Gysbertje,  who, 
by  two  deeds  dated  Sept.  17,  1729,  and  April  24,  1730,  sold  the  same  to  Charles  Dor- 
land,  son  of  G^'sbertje.  Dorland  sold  the  same  for  £.50  to  Jacob  Van  Wagenen,  Dec. 
14,  1730.  He  built  and  occupied  the  Point  Breeze  House,  now  owned  by  John  H, 
Midmer. 

Several  of  the  heirs  of  Jacob  Van  Wagenen  quit-claimed  their  interest  in  the  tes- 
tator's property,  to  Jacob  Merselis ;  Henry  Austin  and  Isabella,  ux,  March  16, 1816 ; 
Henry  Heyzer  and  Elizabeth,  ux,  July  20,  1816,  and  Mary  Merselis,  Oct.  27,  1818. 
Van  Wagenen  died  seized  Jan.  27,  1783,  and  his  surviving  executor,  Jacob  Van  Wag- 
enen, vide  Note  to  Spier's  Patent,  p.  15,  sold  it  to  Jatob  Merselis  and  Merselis  J.  Mer- 
selis, June  22,  1824.  It  was  then  described  as  lying  between  the  two  bays,  Samuel 
Gautier  on  the  N.  E.  and  Robert  Thomson  on  the  S.  W.  These  grantees  sold  the 
right  of  way  to  the  Morris  Canal,  Feb.  2,  1835.  Merselis  J.  Merselis  died  March  21, 
1837.  By  his  will  dated  March  20,  1837,  he  gave  his  realty  to  his  four  children,  viz  : 
Jacob  M.,  Susan,  wife  of  Thomas  Anderson,  Cathenne,  wife  of  Garret  Vreeland,  and 
Mary,  wife  of  Stephen  B.  Vreeland,  equally.  These  devisees  then  owned  an  undivi- 
ded half  with  their  grandfather  Jacob.  The  property  was  partitioned  by  decree,  dated 
June  18,  1838,  as  per  annexed  sketch.  Jacob  conveyed  to  his  grandson,  Jacob  M. 
lots  1  and  2,  June  21,  1838,  on  the  grantee  executing  an  agreement  to  quit  claim  to 
his  sisters  all  his  interest  in  Lots  3  and  4.     This  he  afterwards  did,  the  deed  to  Mrs. 


Anderson  being  dated,  March  27,  1841,  That  part  of  lot  No.  1,  which  lies  S.  E.  of  the 
Plank  road,  he  sold  to  Edwin  J.  Brown,  Avho  sold  a  plot  in  the  S.  corner  to  John  H. 
Midmer.  That  part  of  the  lot  which  lies  between  the  Plank  road  and  the  old 
Bergen  road  he  mapped,  (map  filed  June  29,  1866)  and  sold  in  lots  to  several  people 
among  whom  are  Michael  Smith,  Robert  Drake,  James  Fleming,  Matthew  Arm- 
strong and  John  Cadmus.  His  sisters  partitioned  lots  3  and  4,  report  confirmed, 
Dec.  Term,  1841 ;  Lot  3  in  annexed  sketch  was  divided  into  two  parts,  the  N.=19 
acres  fell  to  Mary,  the  S.=22  88-100  acres  fell  to  Catherine  ;  Lot  4  fell  to  Susan, 
except  22-100  of  an  acre  in  the  S.  E.  corner,  which  fell  to  Catherine.  Catherine 
sold  the  E.  end  of  her  lot  to  Noah  D.  and  Thomas  Taylor  in  1868.

(Alhang),  H.  H.  20.  Buys,  known  as  "  Jan  the  Soldier/'  vide  Note  to  Jacobse's 
Patent,  p.  46,  probably  sold  it  to  Severyn  Laurensen,  who  seems  to  have  been  a  way- 
ward fellow.  He  was  a  lance-corporal  in  the  service  of  the  West  India  Company. 
His  views  upon  meum  et  tuum  were  not  accurate,  hence  he  was,  April  12,  1658,  sen- 
tenced to  be  stripj5ed  of  his  arms  and  publicly  flogged  and  branded  for  theft.  Await- 
ing execution,  he  was  put  in  jail  in  charge  of  Corporal  Simon  Wautersen,  but  escaped. 
Tliis  caused  the  degradation  of  Simon  to  the  ranks.  Laurensen  was  re-arrested,  but 
pardoned,  May  12,  1658,  with  permission  to  live  on  Long  Island.  He  then  opened 
a  tap-room,  sold  liquor  "during  divine  service,"  for  which  he  was  prosecuted,  May 
11,  1662  ;  and  afterwards  fined  for  permitting  pensons  to  play  nine-pins  in  his  place 
on  Sunday.  He  was  twice  married,  the  last  time  to  Grietje  Hendripks,  Aug.  .5,  1671. 
He  sold  the  tract  in  question  to  Hendrick  Jansen  Spier,  who  died  seized,  leaving  his 
Avidow,  Madeline  Hanse  (who  married  Jan  Aertsen  Van  der  Bilt,  Dec.  10,  1681),  and 
Jan,  Hans,  and  Barent.  To  pay  off  the  debts  of  Spier,  the  above-named 
parties  sold  this  tract  to  Gerrit  Gerritse  (Van  Wagenen,  jr.,),  April  10,  1694.  This 
grantee  gave  it  to  his  son  Jacob.  Vide  Note  to  Gerritsc's  Patent,  p.  58,  and  Note  to

torney of  Poulesse  Cornelisen,  formerly  of  Pembrepock,  Dec.  14, 1680,  who  sold  to 
Jan  Van  der  Lynden  five  morgens,  Maj'  31.  1681,  who  sold  to  Cornells  Steenwyck, 
July  29,  1681.  Eomeyn  sold  the  balance  of  his  purchase  to  Poules  Douwesse,  ot 
Pembrepock,  Dec.  6,  1682,  who  sold  to  Eutgert  Van  Home,  March  18,  1702.  The 
history  of  this  tract  henceforth  is  connected  with  that  of  the  next  Patent. 

"  This  tract  was  first  granted  to  Gysbert  Lubbertse,  Dec.  5,  1654.  Land  Papers 
{Albany),  H.  H.,  36,  and  not  to  Peter  Jansen  Slott  as  mentioned  in  the  text.  It  may 
have  been  granted  to  Lubbertse  by  mistake,  for  on  the  original  Patent  which  I  have 
seen  was  endorsed,  "  This  Patent  must  be  in  the  name  of  Pieter  Jansen  Slott,  by 
mee,  Guysbert  Lubbertse,  May  14,  1657."  By  both  it  was  treated  as  if  made  to  Slott. 
The  tract  was  40x375  rods.  Slott  sold  it  to  Joost  Van  der  Linden,  Jan.  30,  1671. 
Van  der  Linden's  heirs,  viz.  :  his  children,  Jan,  Boelof,  Jannetje,  Hendrielje,  and  sons- 
in-law,  Albert  Zabbristke,  and  Laurens  Laurens  sold  it  to  Cornells  Steenwyck,  July 
29,  1681.  On  the  same  day  Jan  Van  der  Linden  sold  to  Steenwyck  the  five  morgens 
belonging  to  the  preceding  Patent,  bought  of  Komeyn,  May  31,  1681,  also  a  piece  of 
meadow  lying  between  Constable's  Hook  and  Bergen  Point,  bought  by  him  of 
Samuel  Edsall.  Tide  Map  in  Note  to  Lot  418,  p.  155  ;  also  a  house  built  by  him  on 
the  land  sold  by  Sjoert  Olphertz  to  Steenwyck.  Steenwyck  sold  this  land  and  meadow 
and  part  of  the  preceding  Patent  bought  of  Olphertz  to  Bartel  Claesen,  of  Midde- 
wout,  L.  I.,  Oct.  5,  1681,  for  5,000  guilders  of  wampum,  "in  good  and  clean  Long 
Isiland  wheat  or  other  winter  wheat  to  be  grown  hereabout,"  deed  to  be  given  on  date 
of  first  payment,  Dec.  1682.  It  is  probable  that  Claesen  sold  lo  Bartel  Jacobs,  the 
son-in-law  of  William  Douglas,  who  sold,  March  1702,  to  Eutgert  Van  Home,  a 
cordwainer,  the  land  in  Slott's  Patent,  also  the  five  morgens  of  the  preceding  Patent, 
also  the  piece  of  meadow  between  Constable's  Hook  and  Bergen  Point,  also  the 
ten  morgens  formerly  belonging  to  Olphertz. 

It  is  probable  that  Van  Home  was  attracted  hither  from  Hackensack  by  the 
widow  of  Jan  Van  d<;r  Linden,  whom  he  married,  April  25,  1697.  When  he  pur- 
chased the  whole  of  Davison's  2d  Patent  I  do  not  know,  but  it  was  probably  in  1702. 
He  purchased  the  Van  Schalckwyck  Patent,  in  1735.     Vide  Note  to  Fan  SchalcIcwycFs

Patent,  p.  17.  He  sold  to  his  son-in-law,  Dederick  Cadmus,  Nov.  17, 1740,  a  lot  32x 
375  rods,  bounded  S.  W.  by  Jacob  Barentzen  Van  Home,  N.  E.  by  land  of  grantor. 
This  strip  extended  from  bay  to  bay,  and  "vvas  "within  Van  Schalckwyck's  Patent. 
By  will  dated  June  13,  1740,  he  gave  to  his  daughter  Jannetje,  wife  of  said  Cadmus, 
all  his  farm  at  Pamrepogh.  In  this  farm  was  included  all  of  the  land  in  Davison's 
2d  Patent,  and  the  Slott  and  Van  Schalckwyck  Patents,  except  what  he  had  sold  to 
said  Cadmus.  Cadmus  had  one  son  Joris  or  George,  and  two  daughters.  George 
received  from  liis  mother,  by  deed  dated  July  20,  1747,  the  lands  bought  from  and 
devised  by  his  grandfather  Van  Home.  It  must  have  been  to  clear  up  some  doubt 
that  he  received  a  deed  from  his  uncle,  John  Van  Home,  July  19,  1747,  for  a  strip 
across  the  neck  40x375  rods  (Van  Schalckwyck's  Patent;,  and  also  a  piece  of 
meadow  (in  Constable's  Hook  Patent),  reserving,  however,  the  right  to  the  common 
lands  which  had  been  given  to  him  by  his  father,  by  deed,  dated  Aug.  12,  1738. 

This  explains  why  the  common  land  allotted  to  Van  Schalckwyck's  Patent  was 
adjudged  to  Van  Home  when  he  did  not  own  the  Patent.  The  allotments  to  these 
three  Patents  were  likely  to  cause  trouble  between  Van  Home  and  Cadmus.  By  an 
agreement  in  writing  between  them,  dated  Feb.  9,  1765,  they  bound  themselves  in 
efiect  to  accept  the  allotments  adjudged  to  each,  and  so  avoided  legal  controversy. 

By  will  dated  June  27,  1779,  proved  April  14,  1786,  George  Cadmus  gave  all  his 
lands  at  Pembrepock  and  Bergen  Point  to  his  sons  Dirch  or  Richard,  and  Caspar  or 
Jasper.  Richard  was  a  bachelor  and  sold  to  his  brother  Jasper  March  12,  1819,  all 
his  interest  in  this  tract.  Jasper  Cadmus,  by  will  dated  May  26,  1824,  unproved, 
gave  to  his  son  Richard  the  S.  W.  half  of  his  tract,  and  to  his  son  Andrew  the  N.  E. 
half.  But  Andrew  dying  before  his  father  the  devise  was  changed,  so  that  Richard 
received  the  N.  E.  half,  and  still  owns  it  The  S.  E.  half  was  given  to  the  sons  of 
Andrew  in  tail.

*  Edsall  was  a  native  of  Reading,  in  Berkshire,  England,  and  a  hatter.  In  1655 
he  married  Jannetje  Wessels,  a  great  belle  in  New  Amsterdam,  whose  mother  kept  a 
tavern  in  Pearl  Street  celebrated  for  Burgomasters'  dinners.  In  Api-il,  1657,  he  was 
admitted  to  the  rights  of  a  small  Burgher.  He  was  appointed  Ensign  in  the  Esopus 
war  of  1663.  In  1664  lie  was  the  owner  of  a  farm  in  Bergen  and  sent  over  four  men  to 
do  liis  share  in  the  defence  of  the  place.  N.  Y.  Col.  MSS.,  x.,  part  iii.,  67.  After  the 
surrender  he  swore  allegiance  to  tlie  British  Government.  He  moved  from  Newtown, 
L.  I.,  to  Bergen,  "  in  Col.  Nicoll's  time.''  He  was  a  member  of  Carteret's  Council 
from  1668  to  1672  ;  appointed  one  of  a  Commission  to  assess  and  raise  a  tax  to  resist 
invasion,  and  treasui'er  of  the  same  when  raised  in  166S  ;  joined  James  Bollen  and 
John  Berry  in  petitioning  the  Dutch  Government  that  the  books  and  papers  concern- 
ing the  "Province  called  New  Yarsie"  be  delivered  to  Secretary  Bayard,  Sept.  12,1673 ; 
and  was  one  one  of  the  commissioners  sent  by  Bergen  to  the  same  government.  He 
moved  to  New  York  in  1689,  became  an  active  adherent  of  Leisler,  a  member  of  the 
Committee  ot  Safety,  of  the  Council,  and  of  the  Court  of  Exchequer.  He  now  be- 
came an  object  of  love  and  hatred,  as  he  was  considered  by  the  friends  or  enemies  of 
Leisler.  The  former  called  him  "  loyal,"  "honest,"  &c. ;  the  latter  thought  him  an 
"  insipid  mobile,"  "  most  wicked  and  poorest  of  the  sons  of  men,''  "  a  base  villian." 
He  was  involved  in  the  fall  of  his  chief,  put  upon  trial  for  high  treason,  and  acquitted. 
In  1699  he  was  living  in  Queens  County,  L.  I.  His  daughter  Anna  married  William 
Lawrence,  of  N.  Y.,  and  Julia  married  Benjamin  Blagg,  of  Plymouth,  England.  To 
these  two  sons-in-law  he  gave  all  his  lands  in  the  lower  part  of  Bergen  County.  It 
is  said  that  he  had  two  sons,  Richard  and  John,  who  settled  at  Hackensack.  John  died 
in  1774,  aged  54  years,  leaving  two  sons,  Samuel  and  John.  Annals  of  Kew-

Edsall  sold  the  balance  of  the  tract  to  Hans  Harmanse  of  Long  Island,  Feb.  20, 
1694,  for  £5(52. 10.  Harmanse  died  Oct.  2(5,  1700.  By  his  will  dated  Nov.  12,  1694,  his 
daughter  Trintje,  wife  of  Peter  Van  Boskerk  and  his  grandson  Hartman,  son  of  his 
deceased  daughter  A)inetje,wi?e  of  Claas  Vreeland,  received  the  ti  act  in  common.  Hart- 
man  Claasen  sold  his  interest  to  his  uncle  Peter  Van  Boskerk,  Dec.  17,  1730.  By 
his  will  dated  Jan.  20,  1735,  proved  Sept.  8,  1738,  Van  Boskerk  gave  to  his 
sons  Jbhannis  and  Lawrence  600  acres  of  land  near  Hackensack ;  to  Andries  60  acres 
out  of  the  tract  in  question,  bordering  on  the  Kills  ;  the  remainder  of  the  tract  to  his 
son  Jacobus.  Jacobus  and  the  widow  of  Andries  were  yet  living  in  1764.  The  four 
sons  bound  themselves  in  writing,  Nov.  30,  1736,  to  divide  the  estate  according  to 
their  father's  will.  Deeds  of  release  for  this  purpose  were  executed  July  20,  1738. 
By  will  dated  May  24,  1763,  proved  Dec.  23,  1782,  Andries  gave  his  realty  to  his 
wife  Margaret  for  life,  then  to  be  sold  and  the  proceeds  divided  among  his  children. 
Helmus  Vreeland  and  William  Douglas  were  named  executors.  Vreeland  the  surviv- 
ing executor  sold  the  60  acres  of  Andries  to  Israel  Oakley,  April  10,  1784  ;  Oakley 
to  Abraham  Van  Buskirk,  Jan.  3,  1797.  In  1798  Van  Buskirk  sold  it  to  Thomas 
Hazard,  deed  unrecorded.  There  seems  to  have  been  an  exchange  of  land  between 
Van  Buskirk  and  Hazard,  the  former  receiving  a  lot  in  Frankfort  st.,  N.  Y.  City, 
for  his  land  at  the  Hook.  Hazard  sold  12  9-10  acres  of  Lot  270  to  Andrew  Van  Horn 
Sept.  21,  1797  (Abraham  Van  Buskirk  was  a  subscribing  witness  to  this  deed). 
This  lot  lay  E.  of  the  Plank  road  and  N.  of  Constable's  Hook  road.  Van  Horn  sold 
5  9-10  acres  to  Michael  B.  Terhune  in  1805,  (deed  acknowledged  May  7,  1805,)  and 
Terhune  to  Thomas  E.  Davis,  Aug.  30,  1838.  Davis  mortgaged  and  the  mortgages 
were  afterwards  foreclosed.  Jacobus  Van  Buskirk  died  Jan.  3,  1767.  By  his  will 
dated  Sept.  14,  1765,  proved  Feb.  18,  1767,  he  divided  his  interest  in  the  tract  between 
his  two  sons  Peter  and  John.  The  lot  of  Common  land  No.  418,  adjudged  to  him  for 
this  Patent,  he  gave  to  them  in  common.  Peter  died  June,  1819.  By  will  dated  April 
1,  1816,  he  gave  all  his  property  to  the  children  of  his  daughters,  Elizabeth,  wife  of 
Cornelius  Vreeland,  and  Rachel,  wife  of  William  Vreeland.  These  children  were 
Margaret,  wife  of  Henry  Vreeland,  Eliza,  wife  of  Stephen  Terhune,  Jane,  wife  of 
Garret  J.  Vreeland,  Rachel,  wife  of  Henry  J.  Mandeville,  Anne,  wife  of  Michael  M. 
Vreeland,  William.  C,  Cornelius,  and  Peter.  Among  these  the  estate  was  partitioned 
June  3,  1830,  and  the  proceedings  confirmed  in  June  term  1831.  This  sketch  shows

By  several  deeds  from  1834  to  1836,  the  interest  of  these  children  became  vested 
in  Thomas  E.  Davis. 

John  left  his  interest  in  the  tract  to  his  only  son  Jacobus,  who  died  Aug.  12,  1832. 
By  will  dated  Sept.  28,  1823,  proved  Dec.  27,  1823,  he  pave  all  his  realty  to  his  sons 
John,  Nicholas  and  James,  on  condition  that  they  should  not  sell  but  divide  it  among 
their  children.  They  partitioned,  and  the  map  is  now  on  file  in  the  county  clerk's

418  and  419,  p.  155. 

*'■  These  lots  were  sold  to  the  patentees  by  Samuel  Edsall,  July  15,  1669.  They 
were  merchants  in  Barhadoes. 

Lot  No.  59  lay  in  the  N.  W.  corner  of  the  town  plot.  On  it  was  a  kitchen,  barn, 
and  brew-house. 

Lots  No.  32  and  33  :  One  lay  on  the  N.  W.  side  of  the  town  adjoining  the  N.  W. 
gate ;  the  other  on  the  N.  E.  side,  adjoining  the  highway. 

Lot  No.  39  was  composed  ot  two  wood  lots,  each  14  rods  wi-de,  bounded  S.  W.  by 
the  N.  E.  lane  "  that  goes  into  the  woods." 

Lot  No.  64.  The  five  upland  lots  were  wood  lots,  each  19x150  rods.  The  five 
meadow  lots  adjoined  the  N.  W.  end  of  the  five  wood  lots,  and  extended  to  the 
Hackensack  river.  Joseph  Hawkins  owned  part  of  this  lot,  and  died  seized. 
Casparus  Prior  died  seized  of  part  of  it,  which  he  gave  to  his  grandchildren  by  will. 
J'ide  Note  to  Farlet's  Patent,  p.  62.  Jasper  received  this  in  the  partition  of  his  grand- 
father's estate,  and  sold  20  acres,  extending  from  the  E.  end  of  the  lot  to  a  ditch  to 
Pe  ter  Bentley  and  Stephen  D.  Harrison,  March  1,  1856,  the  present  owners.  The 
balance  of  the  upland  was  sold  to  Peter  Bentley,  Nov.  1,  1853,  by  the  commissioners 
to  divide  the  estate  of  Richard  Van  Eypen.

lying  between  Zachaiias  Sickles  and  Hendrick  Vanderhoof.  This  I  take  to  be  a  part 
oi Lot  64,  afterwards  known  as  Brinkerhort"s  "Brown's  Ferry  Lot."  Tide  Note  to 
Baclers  Patent,  p.  10.  It  is  probable  that  Johannis  Van  Eypen  purchased  Lot  39 
shortly  after  1764.  His  son.  Garret — "Long  Gat" — inherited  it,  and  divided  it  by 
deed,  Dec,  14,  1836  (vide  also  May  9,  1835),  between  his  sons-in-law,  viz.  :  John  G. 
Van  Home,  who  received  the  N.  W.  quarter;  Daniel  Van  Eyjien,  who  received  the 
quarter  next  S.  E.  of  Van  Home  ;  John  Van  Buslirlc,  who  received  the  quarter  next 
S.  E.  of  Van  Kypen,  which  he  sold  to  Aaron  Sergeant,  April  1,  1837  ;  and  Cornelius 
Van  WinJcle,  who  received  the  S.  E.  quarter.  Van  Rypen's  daughter,  Catlyntje,  wife

living  at  Harsimus  at  that  time.  For  his  third  wife,  he  married  Tryntje,  the  widow 
of  Jacob  StofFelsen.  He  resided  at  Harsimus,  and  was  driven  out  by  the  Indians  in

ers to  fortify  Bergen  in  1663.     New  Neth.  Beg.,  158. 

Lot  No.  71  was  a  double  lot,  consisting  of  Nos.  4  and  6  in  the  original  allotment, 
31x160  rods  =  8  morgens  160  rods. 

Lot  No.  57  was  a  wood  lot  19x150  rods  =  4f  morgens;  owned  by  the  heirs  of 
Walter  Clendenny  in  1840.  I  think  the  E.  end  of  this  lot  was  conveyed  to  Peter  Adolph 
by  Arent  Toers,  June  10,  1754,  and  by  Adolph  to  Andries  Pi-ior,  Oct.  27,  1858.  Fide 
Note  to  Lot  367,  p.  194.     The  lot  lies  a  little  S.  of  the  Newark  plank  road. 

Lot  No.  119  was  meadow  No.  3  in  the  original  allotment,  48  rods  wide  from  the 
woods  to  the  river.  This  lot  was  owned  by  Gysbert  Van  Blarcom,  of  Aquacknonk, 
in  1764.  By  his  will,  dated  April  14,  1760,  proved  March  3,  1764,  it  was  given  to  his 
son  John,  who  sold  it  to  Michael  Vreeland,  Sept.  18,  1770.  In  March,  1784,  Helmus 
Vreeland,  of  Staten  Island,  John  Vreeland,  of  Stony  Point,  Derrick  Vreeland  and 
Cornelius  Vreeland,  of  English  Neighbourhood,  conveyed  the  same  to  Michael  Vree- 
land. 

Lot  No.  158  was  between  the  school-house  and  Hans  Diedrick's,  5x15  rods.  This 
and  lot  No.  115  were  sold  by  Gysbert  Van  Blertcum,  weaver,  (probably  a  son  of  the 
patentee),  to  Martin  Winue,  mason,  Aug.  20,  1714.  He  also  sold,  at  the  same  time, 
a  lot  =  90  acres,  extending  from  the  road  to  the  Hackensack  river.  This  Avas  Lot 
No.  71.  It  lay  W.  of  the  town.  Winne  died  seized,  July  8,  1737.  His  son  Levinus 
owned  it  in  1764,  and  died  May  31,  1802.  Vide  Note  to  Van  Vleck's  Patent,  p.  53,  and 
Note  to  Lot  363,  p.  192.  The  lots  seem  to  have  been  considerably  cut  up  before  1764. 
Lot  158  remained  in  the  Winner  family  until  quite  a  recent  period.  Robert_McFarland 
was  at  one  time  owner,  then  Daniel  Clark,  whose  widow,  Helen,  purchased  it  at 
SheriiFs  sale,  Nov.,  1837,  and  sold  it  to  John  Romaine,  June  7,  1840.

JJ^Jjf  -jFitSt  whereof  (being  a  Lot  in  the  Town  of  Bergen  mark'd  on 
the  Map  No.  162)* 

**  These  lots  were  sold  to  Berry  by  Samuel  Edsall,  July  12,  1670. 

Lot  No.  162  was  bounded  N.  W.  by  Balthazar  Bayard's  house,  S.  E.  by  the  road, 
S.  W.  by  Hans  Diedrick's  house. 

Lot  No.  125  lay  between  the  road  and  Lourens  Adriensen's  land  (formerly  Bartho- 
lemew  Lott^,  bounded  N.  E.  by  the  woods,  N.  W.  by  the  N.  E.  lane  "  that  goeth  into 
the  woods." 

Lot  No.  70.  The  six  upland  lots  lay  in  the  "  common  field,"  bounded  S,  E.  by  the 
highway,  14x150  rods.  The  six  meadow  lots  adjoined  the  N.  W.  end  of  the  upland 
lots  ;  were  of  the  same  width  and  extended  to  the  river.  Judging  by  the  subdivision 
of  the  allotment  to  this  Patent,  nearly  the  whole  of  it  was  in  the  Newkirk  family  in 
1764.  Mathevis  and  Hendrick  were  sons  of  Gerrit.  Mathevis,  jr.,  and  Jacob,  were 
sons  of  Poulus.  Gerrit  and  Foulue  must  have  partitioned  Lot  125  before  their  death. 
Garret  taking  the  S.  half,  and  Poulus  the  N.half  Mathevis  and  Hendrick  partitioned 
the  S.  half,  July  7,  1795 ;  Mathevis  taking  the  N.  half  and  Hendrick  the  S.  half. 
Mathevis  gave  his  half  to  his  son  Garret  H.  by  deed  dated  Aug.  1,  1810,  who,  by  will 
dated  April  7, 1832,  proved  Oct.  31,  1832,  divided  the  same  between  his  sons  Garret 
G.  and  Henry.  Garret  received  all  N.  of  Newkirk  Street  and  Henry  all  S.  of  that 
street.  Garret  still  owns  all  W.  ot  Palisade  Ave.,  except  a  small  piece  on  the  W.  end, 
which  he  sold  to  Maria,  wife  of  Smith  Garrabrant.  All  E.  of  Palisade  Ave.  he  has 
sold  in  parcels  to  Blakely  Wilson  and  others.     Henry  died  Aug.  29,  1861. 

Mathevis,  jr.,  after  his  father  Poulus,  owned  the  N.  half  of  Lot  125.  He  died  seized, 
Nov.  12,  1818,  and  the  same  passed  to  his  only  son,  John  M.,  who  sold  the  same  to 
Jones  and  others. 

Henry's  land  within  this  Patent,  and  what  his  father  bought  of  the  Van  Houten 
tract  E.  of  the  town,  was  inherited  by  his  children,  James  M.,  Henry  H.,  Garret,  John, 
Mary,  wife  of  George  V.  De  Mott,  and  Eliza,  wife  of  Francis  P.  Gautier. 

In  the  partition  between  Mathevis  and  Hendrick  Lot  70  was  divided  as  follows : 
Mathevis  took  the  N.  hal^  which  was  afterwards  partitioned  between  his  sons.  Hen- 
drick took  the  S.  half,  which  was  partitioned  between  his  sons.  Garret  H.  and  George, 
the  former  taking  the  E.  half  and  the  latter  the  W.  half.  Vide  Note  to  Pieterse's  Patent,

of  May  One  thousand  six  hundred  and  sixty  eight,  it  appearing  from  the 
Description  in  both  Patents  to  be  the  very  same  Garden.  So  that  Coerten

lands.    His  attorney  sold  this  lot  =  17|  acres  to  Peter  Stuyvesant,  Aug.  18,  1784,  who

dated  the  twenty  first  Day  of  November  One  thousand  six 
hundred  and  sixty  three  for  a  Meadow  (of  old  call'd  Jacob 
Slaughis  Meadow)  lying  upon  the  West  side  of  Hudson's

(mark'd  on  the  Map  i45).t 

*  Vinge  was  an  heir  of  Jan  Janseu  Damen  ;  Schepen  in  1655,  '56,  '61 ;  admitted  to 
the  rights  of  a  Great  Burgher,  April  14,  1657;  was  twice  married,  the  last  time  to 
Wie&he  Haytes,  Feb.  15,  1682.     He  died  without  issue  in  1691. 

This  lot  belonged  to  the  devisees  of  Sir  Peter  Warren  in  1764.  Vide  Lot  No.  218,  f).219. 
18  acres  in  the  N.E.  corner  of  this  Patent  were  conveyed  by  Charles,  Lord  Southamp- 
ton and  Heiny  Seymour  Conway  to  Coll  McGregor,  May  25, 1795,  and  by  him  to  John 
Stevens,  April  6,  1797.  It  consisted  of  meadow  lying  S.W.  of  Hoboken  Creek,  be- 
ginning on  the  N.  side  of  Van  Purmerent's  land,  then  up  along  the  great  creek  to  the 
small  creek  under  the  hill  s=i  9  morgens. 

Sir  Peter  Warren  married  the  eldest  daughter  of  Stephen  De  Lancey,  of  New 
York,  and  it  is  probable  that  the  above-named  grantors  were  his  executors. 

t  The  Slaugh  here  named  was  the  enterprising  individual  who  attempted  to  take 
the  life  of  Kieft.     For  this  exploit  he  was  shot  and  his  head  stuck  on  a  post. 

Van  Ruyven  was  the  old  secretary  under  Stuyvesant.  with  whom  he  came  here  in 
1647,  being  then  a  young  bachelor.  He  married  Hillegond,  daughter  of  Domine 
Johannes  Megapolensis,  June  24,  1654  ;  was  engaged  in  the  dry  goods  and  general 
store  business  ;  was  Alderman  in  N.  Y.  in  1665,  70,  '72,  '73. 

Lindertz,  known  also  as  Leenders,  Leendertzen,  Van  der  Grist,  Van  den  Grift, 
Van  der  Grift  and  Van  die  Grift,  was  one  of  the  early  settlers.  He  left  Holland  in 
command  of  the  ship  Great  Gerrit,  Dec.  25,  1646,  and  arrived  at  Manhattan  May  11, 
1647,  with  Stuyvesant,  by  whom  he  was  appointed  naval  agent.  He  was  one  of  the 
Select  Men  ;  a  lieutenant  in  the  Burgher  corps  of  New  Amsterdam  in  1653  ;  a  sche  p- 
en  in  1653,  '54  ;  and  burgomaster  in  1657,  '58,  '61,  '64.  After  the  surrender  he  took 
the  oath  of  allegiance  to  the  English,  and  remained  in  the  country  until  1671,  then

returned  to  Europe,  leaving  his  property  in  the  hands  of  agents.  He  resided  on  the 
W.  side  of  Broadway,  near  the  present  Trinity  Church.  He  came  near  being  a  vic- 
tim of  the  Indian  raid  on  New  Amsterdam  in  1655.  Col.  Hist,  of  N.  Y.,  ii,  43  ;  Val. 
Hist,  of  N.  r.,  61. 

Anthony  was  a  prosperous  merchant  in  New  Amsterdam  ;  scliepen  in  1653  ;  burgo- 
master from  1655  to  1661  ;  schout  from  1662  to  1665,  and  sheriff  from  1666  to  1673. 
As  an  oiBcial  he  was  unpopuhxr,  and  among  the  lower  classes  went  by  the  name  of 
"the  hangman."     He  died  in  1685. 

Ver  Bruggen,  sometimes  called  Van  Brugh,  came  hither  at  an  early  date,  and  set- 
tled in  Rensselaerswyck.  He  afterwards  came  to  New  Amsterdam ;  was  a  corporal 
in  the  Burgher  corps  in  1653 ;  schepen  in  1655,  '56,  '61  ;  made  a  great  burgher  April 
12,  1657  ;  orphan  master  in  1663 ;  burgomaster  in  1673,  '74,  '75  j  captain  of  the 
militia,  in  New  Orange,  in  1637  ;  member  of  the  common  council  in  1683  ;  aldennan 
in  1677  ;  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  in  1664,  and  was  assessed  at  14,000  florins  in 
1674. 

This  patent  was  confirmed  by  Gov.  Carteret,  March  31,  1668.  It  included  two 
pieces  of  meadow. 

1st — Meadow,  as  well  the  salt  as  the  reed  meadow,  about  half  a  Dutch  league  N. 
of  Wihaken,  "Antiently  known  by  the  name  of  Jacob  Slaugh's  Meadow." 

2d  -  Meadow,  about  a  Dutch  league  further  up,  called  by  the  name  of  Moertien 
Danidts  valley,  or  meadow.  In  the  corruption  of  this  latter  name  may  be  found  the 
present  Mordanis  meadow. 

Anthony  sold  to  Cornelius  Van  Borsum,  June  28,  1678,  his  interest  in  the  above 
tracts,  "  known  by  the  names  of  Jacob  Slaugh  and  Moertje  Daniels. 

A  small  part  of  this  meadow  was  sold  by  John  Somerindyke,  executor  of  Richard 
Somerindyke,  to  Arthur  McCarter,  Aug.  1829.  McCarter  sold  to  Robert  Annett, 
June  8,  1835  ;  Annett  to  Michael  Carling,  Jan.  26,  1848 ;  Carling  to  Henry  A.  W. 
Barclay  and  William  R.  Townsend  32  6-100  acres,  and  the  right  to  the  shore  front, 
2  52-100  acres  ;  Barclay  and  Townsend  to  Dudley  S.  Gregory,  Dec.  6,  1849;  Grego- 
ry to  Nathaniel  Dole,  March  1,  1864.  The  title  to  the  meadow  is  in  great  obscurity. 
It  siems  to  have  passed,  by  descent,  among  non-residents.  There  is  not  any  recorded 
paper  title.  The  rapid  increase  in  the  value  of  this  property  will,  Avithout  a  doubt, 
soon  bring  about  a  legal  settlement  of  the  ownership,  which  has  been  an  uncertainty 
for  more  than  a  ceniury.     Vide  Note  to  Lot  Xo.  219,  p.  77.

**  Sccaucus,  Sikakes,  an  Indian  woid,  tignif3ing  the  place  ukere  the  snale  hides. 

The  wording  of  Carteret's  Patent  is  as  follows:  "Doe  hereby  Give,  Grant  and 
Confirnie  unto  Nicliolas  Ver  Lett  Esqr.  of  the  Towne  of  Bergen  and  Nicholas  Bajard  of 
New  Yoike  a  Sartain  Plantation  or  P'rcel  of  Land  lying  and  btingin  the  Kill  van  Cole 
known  in  the  Indian  Language  by  the  Ncine  of  Sickakus  which  was  lawfully  pv.r- 
cliastd  from  the  Indians  and  Paid  for  as  may  appeare  by  the  Bill  of  Sale  made  by  the 
Indyans  the  30th  day  of  January  in  the  Year  of  Our  Lord  1658  Stila  Nova,  Which 
said  Parcell  of  Land  together  with  all  the  Land  and  Meadows  round  about  it  and  an- 
nexed Thereunto  with  the  Creek  and  Creeks,  Ponds,  Poules,  Swamps  and  Isletts  as 
far  as  it  Readies  to  the  Fine  Land,  Fishing,  Fowling,  Hunting,  with  all  and  Singular 
the  Appurtenances  "  &c.  "  as  of  the  Manner  of  East  Greenwich  in  free  and  Common 
Socage,  Yielding  and  Paying  to  the  said  Lord  PrPrietors"  &c  "One  half  Penny  of 
Lawfull  Money  of  England  for  every  Acre."  "The  said  Plantation  or  Parcell  of  land 
is  Estetmed  and  Valued  according  to  the  Survey  and  Agietment  made  to  Contain, 
both  of  LTpland  and  Meadow  the  Sum  of  two  thousand  Acres  English  Measure." 

In  1674  the  Indians  raised  a  question  as  to  the  Dutch  title  to  the  Island.  They 
contended  that  the  deed  to  Stuyvesant  included  only  "Espatingh  and  its  dependen- 
cies." But  the  Dutch  Council  at  Fort  Willem  Hendrick,  having  examined  the  deed 
and  heard  arguments,  decided  that  the  land  was  included  in  the  sale.  The  Indians 
replied  ihat  they  did  not  know  this,  and  thought  "  they  ought  to  have  a  present  of 
an  anker  of  rum."  To  extinguish  their  title  this  was  given,  Col.  Hist,  of  y.  Y.  it,  707, 
and  the  simple  ones  were  satisfied.  While  in  possession  of  the  patentees  Varlet  died, 
and  Samuel  Edsall  and  Peter  Stoutenburgh  were  appointed  his  administrators.  They 
joined  Bayard  in  selling  the  tract,  April  24,  1676,  to  Edward  Earle,  Jr.,  of  Maryland. 
Earl  sold  to  Judge  William  Pinhorne,  March  26,  1679,  for  £500,  one  undivided  half 
of  the  tract,  also  one  half  of  all  the  stock,  "Christian  and  negro  servants."  The  fol- 
lowing schedule  was  annexed  to  the  deed :  "  One  dwelling  house,  containing  two 
lower  rooms  and  a  lean-to  below  staires,  and  a  loft  above.  Five  tobacco  houses,  one 
hors,  one  mare  and  two  Coults,  eight  oxen,  ten  Cows,  one  bull,  foure  yearlings,  and 
seven  Calves,  between  thirty  and  forty  hoggs,  foure  negro  men,  five  christian  servants." 
Not  long  after  this,  Scott  in  his  "  Model  of  the  government  of  East  Jersey,"  calls  the 
place  "a  brave  plantation." 

Pinhorne  and  Earle  held  in  common  until  April  15,  1682,  when  a  division  was 
made.  Earle  took  the  upper,  and  Pinhorne  the  lower  portion  of  the  Island.  On  the 
E.  boundary  of  Pinhorne's  land  was  a  creek,  which  took  its  name  from  the  Judge  and 
to  this  day  is  known  as  Pinhorne's  Creek.  On  the  S.  end  of  the  Island  is  a  bluff, 
known  at  different  times  as  "  Slangen  Bergh,"  and  "  Snake  Hill."  "  Mount  Pinhorne" 
was  the  high  land,  a  little  N.  E.  of  Snake  Hill.  It  was  for  some  time  questioned  whether 
or  not  thi.-?  tract  was  within  the  old  township  of  Bergen.  To  settle  this  question,  the 
Proprietors  directed  a  survey,  Oct.  30,  1686;  which  was  made  by  George  Keith,  and 
it  was  found  to  be  within  the  township.  Pinhorne  claimed  that  his  deed  included 
the  swamp  E.  of  the  creek  and  resisted  the  claim  of  the  Freeholders  that  it  was  Com- 
mon Land.     In  1694  he  sued  Caspar  Steinmets  in  trespass  for  cutting  timber  in  the

Creek  the  several  Courses  thereof  as  it  runs  to  a  Creek  or  Ditch  (which 
communicates  or  joins  said  Pinhorne's  Creek  with  another  Creek  call'd 
Crom,  a- Kill)  Then  along  said  Creek  or  Ditch  as  it  runs  to  said  Crom,  a-

swamp,  but  I  do  not  know  that  the  case  was  ever  brought  to  trial.  On  May  10, 1717, 
he  executed  a  deed  for  his  land  to  John  Barclay,  of  Perth  Atnboy,  in  trust  for  the 
grantor  and  his  wife,  and  after  their  death  to  his  children.  But  having  some  mis- 
givings about  it  he  destroyed  this  deed.  After  his  death  his  widow  and  children  filed 
a  bill  in  Chancery  to  prohibit  the  Freeholders  of  Bergen  cutting  timber  in  the  swamp 
E.  of  the  creek  The  trustees  filed  an  answer.  The  result  I  do  not  know,  but  there 
can  be  no  doubt  that  these  pretentions  were  groundless,  and  the  Field  Book  properly 
places  the  tract  W.  of  the  Creek. 

By  Pinhorne's  will,  dated  May  10,  1719,  proved  April  12,  1720,  he  gave  his  lands 
to  his  wife  for  life ;  then  to  be  divided  between  his  grandson  John  Pinborne,  Col. 
Edmund  Kingsland,  who  married  his  daughter  Mary ;  his  daughter  Martha,  widow 
of  Chief  Justice  Mompesson  (she  afterward*  mirrie:!  Richard  Warman),  and  Elizabeth 
who  married  Timothy  Baglej'-,  each  one  quarter.  In  the  summer  of  1729,  Col.  Kings- 
land  advertised  "  Mount  Pinborne"  for  sale  -"600  acres  of  timber,  200  acres  of  cleared 
land,  1000  acres  of  meadow,  with  a  new  house  and  barn,  two  orchards  of  about  1200 
bearing  apple  trees."  The  heirs  of  Pinhorne  sold  part  of  this  tract  to  Thomas  Alsop, 
of  Long  Island,  Dec.  15,  1730.  In  this  purchase  John  Bard  afterwards  became  inter- 
ested. By  Col.  Kingsland's  will,  dated  July  29,  1741,  proved  July  26,  1742,  he  left 
his  interest  in  this  tract  to  his  children  William  Edmund,  Roger,  Isaac,  Edmund,  Mary, 
Anna,  Hester,  Catharine,  and  Elizabeth,  wife  of  George  Leslie.  By  will  dated  May  20, 
1728  (1743?),  proved  Sept.  18, 1751,  Leslie  gave  the  property  received  from  Kings- 
land  to  his  children  George  W.,  John,  Edmund,  James,  and  Margaret. 

Earle's  will,  dated  May  18,  1709,  proved  May  8,  1717,  gave  his  lands  to  his  wife 
for  her  life,  then  to  his  son  Edward  for  his  life,  then  to  his  grandson  Edward  in  fee. 
This  grandson's  will  was  dated  Oct.  18,  1750,  proved  May  12,  1755.  His  children 
were  Edward,  John,  Philip,  Anthebe,  Robert,  Elizabeth,  Hester,  and  Mary,  wife  of  John 
Nelson.  Among  these  children  he  divided  up  his  lands,  but  in  what  proportion  I  can- 
not say.  Edward  (4th),  by  will  dated  Nov.  2,  1787,  proved  Jan.  25, 1788,  gave  to  his 
sons  Richard  and  John  all  his  Secaucus  lands.  His  children  were  Richard,  John,  Ed- 
xoa'^d,  Cecelia,  wife  of  Rodman  Fields,  and  Mary.  The  poor-house  farm  is  on  the  S. 
part  of  tbe  Pinhorne  tract.  Job  Smith  sold  it  to  Albert  A.  Westervelt,  200  acres, 
March  15, 1820 ;  Westervelt  to  Abel  I.  Smith,  April  28,  1820  ;  Abel  to  "  The  Trustees 
of  the  Freeholder's  Inhabitants  of  the  Township  of  Bergen,"  April  29,  1820.  The 
trustees,  &-c.,  sold  the  same  to  the  "  Overseers  of  the  Poor  of  the  Township  of  Bergen," 
May  3,  1833,  who  sold  to  the  Board  of  chosen  Freeholders  of  Hudson  County. 

Andrew  Tead  et  ux.  owned  a  large  tract  at  Secaucus.  They  sold  to  Robert  Leake, 
of  N.  Y.,  400  acres,  March  27,  1762.  Leake  died  seized,  and  his  property  was  inherited 
by  his  eldest  son  Robert  William,  who  empowered  John  George  Leake,  July  7,  1774, 
to  sell.     He  sold  this  tract  to  John  Stevens,  March  10,  1795.

SlSllC  fOUUtr  a  ^TttlCt  now  in  the  possession  of  Captain  Archibald 
Kennedy  at  Horsiiiius.  The  State  of  The  Title  to  which  (being  neither 
Patent  nor  Cirant)  we  found  to  be  very  intricate. 

Jrt  appCtirS,  that,  the  States  of  Holland  granted  New  Netherland 
to  The  West  Indie  Company  of  Amsterdam.  That,  the  said  West  Indie 
Company  by  their  Covernors  in  New  Netherland  purchas'd  from  Time 
to  Time  large  Tracts  from  the  Indians,  and  patented  out  the  same  in  sev- 
eralty to  Dutch  Subjects.  This  Tract  at  Horsimus  (in  possession  of  Ken- 
nedy) appears  to  be  a  Part  remaining  unpatented  of  a  Large  Tract  of 
Land,  now  the  Township  of  Bergen,  purchas'd  of  the  Indians  by  Govern- 
or Petrus  Stuyvesant  for  the  Use  of  said  West  Indie  Company. 

It  appears  probable  that  this  Tract  at  Horsimus  was  peculiady  reserv"d 
for  said  West  Indie  Company  having  been  always  call'd   ^j|)0   SSECJSt 

It's  presum'd,  that,  this  Tract  stood  thus  circumstanc'd  at  the  Time  of 
the  Surrender  of  this  Country  by  the  Dutch  in  the  Year  One  thousand  six 
hundred  and  sixty  four ;  And,  that,  it  remain'd  secured  to  the  said  West 
Indie  Company  by  the  first  Article  of  that  Surrender;  And  as  it  was  in 
their  Possession  by  their  Tenant  at  the  Time  of  granting  the  Charter  of 
Bergen ;  We  conceive,  it  did  not  pass,  by  that  Charter,  And  therefore  is  no 
part  of  the  Common  Lands  of  the  Township  of  Bergen. 

3r!)Cn  as  to  the  Bounds,  We  find.  That,  Horsimus  is  a 
Tract  nearly  circumscrib'd  by  a  natural  Boundary.  But  as 
there  has  been  laid  before  us  several  Patents  hereafter  men- 
tion'd  for  sundry  Parcels  of  Land  lying  within  that  Boundary, 
and  which  we  have  run  out,  and  ascertain'd  there  ;  Thence 
we  are  of  Opinion,  That,  (The  West  Indie  Company's  Farm 
or)  The  Tract  now  in  Possession  of  Captain  Kennedy  is 
limited  by  that  natural  Boundary  of  Horsimus,  lEpCtptllTfl 
autl  f0BPri)l1Tfl  those  Lands  granted  by  and  mention'd  in 
the  said  several  Patents. 

(BXIV  ^UtiytS  therefore  of  the  Land  now  in  Possession  of  Cap- 
tain Kennedy  at  Horsimus  Shews,  and  we  Adjudge  it   (under  the 
^68  Exception  «S:  Reservation  after  *  mention'd)   to  be  a  Tract  mark'd

''  Atter  the  purchase  of  Pauw's  interest  in  Pavonia,  this  tract  was  held  with  great 
tenacity  by  the  Dutch  West  India  Compan}',  and  became  known  as  their  farm.  By 
them  it  was  regarded  as  the  natural  outlet  for  all  the  native  commerce  attracted  to 
New  Amsterdam  from  the  vast  country  on  this  side  of  the  Hudson.  Its  ownership 
was  the  main  cause  of  Pauw's  troubles,  for  the  other  directors  were  convinced  that  it 
gave  him  too  much  control  of  the  Indian  trade.  Though  for  a  long  time  diverted, 
commerce  is  returning  to  its  first  love,  and  old  Ahasimus,  with  its  surroundings, 
again  becomes  a  depot  for  the  great  West  and  South  of  this  country ;  and,  as  the 
natural  terminus  of  the  Pacific  lines  of  railway,  of  the  trade  of  the  Orient.  It  origin- 
ally included  the  whole  of  Ahasimus,  but  was  reduced  to  about  383  acres  by  grants 
to  Van  Vorst  and  others.  It  was  reserved  to  the  Company  by  the  first  of  the 
"Articles  of  Capitulation  "  in  1664  :  "  We  consent  that  the  States  General,  or  West 
India  Company,  shall  freely  injoy  all  farms  and  houses  (except  such  as  are  in  the

"  after  the  usual  ringing  of  the  City  Hall  bell  three  times,"  declared  confiscated  to  the 
king  the  real  and  personal  property  of  the  Dutch  W.  I.  Co.,  "in  consequence  of  the 
Company's  inflicting  all  sorts  of  injury  on  his  Royal  Majestie's  subjects."  From  this 
time  the  Governors  of  N.  Y.  claimed  the  tract  for  the  Duke  of  York,  and  it  was  known 
as  the  "  Duke's  Farm."  By  them  leases  were  given.  On  March  1,  1667,  Jacob  Stof- 
felsen  and  wife  received  a  lease  to  run  from  Jan.  1,  1667,  for  and  during  the  life  of  the 
''  longest  liver."  The  wife  survived  Stoifelsen,  and  married  Caspar  Steinmets.  He 
obtained  a  lease  April  12,  1674,  in  right  of  his  wife.  Aug.  17,  1678,  his  wife  being 
dead,  he  received  a  lease  of  the  farm  for  life.  Aug.  13,  1685,  Gov.  Dongan  gave  to 
John  Palmer  a  lease  for  ninety-nine  years  of  the  reversion,  "  from  the  feast  of  St. 
Michael,  the  Archangel,  next  ensuing  after  the  determination  qf  the  estate"  of  Stein- 
mets. Deeds  [Albany),  vii,  170;  Col.  Hist,  of  N.  Y.,  iii,  411.  Feb.  5,  1686,  John  and 
Garret,  sons  of  Caspar  Steinmets,  bought  the  Palmer  lease,  and,  after  the  death  of 
their  father,  divided  the  form  ;  John  taking  the  S.  half,  and  Garret  taking  the  N.  half. 
Feb.  24,  1708.  John  conveyed  his  interest  in  the  farm  to  his  wife  for  her  life,  then  to 
his  nephew,  Jacob  Prior.  After  John's  death,  his  widow  married  Peter  Van  Woog- 
lem.  They  and  Jacob  Prior  assigned  to  David  Hennion,  alias  David  Danielson,  the 
remainder  of  the  term  under  the  Palmer  lease.  This  was  about  1715.  In  the  mean- 
time the  freeholders  of  Bergen  claimed  the  farm  as  common  land  under  Carteret's 
grant  of  1668.  This  the  propiietors  denied,  and  claimed  it  for  themselves.  Acting 
upon  this  claim  they  disposed  of  it,  and  the  following  is  the  history  of  the  title  as 
derived  from  them. 

Robert  West,  one  of  the  proprietors,  by  lease  and  release  dated  April  1  and  2,  1684, 
sold  his  interest  in  East  Jersey  to  Thomas  Cox.  Cox  sold  to  Sir  Eugenius  Cameron,  of 
Lochiel,13-40ths  of  his  interest  of  l-24th  part,  April  2  and  3, 1685.  Sir  Eugenius  sold  to 
Donald  Cameron  July  30,  1716.  Donald  Cameron  sold  to  Evan  Drummond,  Nov.  17, 
1721.  Drummond  sold  one-half  of  said  13-40ths  to  James  Alexander,  July  17  and  18, 
1723.  Alexander  reconveyed  to  Drummond  383  acres  of  unappropriated  land,  Feb. 
22  and  23,  1724.  On  the  26th  of  the  same  month  this  amount  of  land  was  surveyed 
to  Drummond  by  the  Surveyor-General,  "  upon  a  tract  of  land  fonnerly  called  the 
West  India  Company's  Farm." 

This  survey  was  endorsed,  with  the  approval  of  16-2nths  of  the  proprietors.     The

money for  the  purchase  and  cost  of  location  was  furnished  by  Archibald  Kennedy. 
Feb.  13,  1724,  Drummond  executed  a  declaration  of  trust  that  he  lield  the  land  for  the 
use  and  benefit  of  Kennedy.  In  1725  Drummond  filed  a  bill  in  Chancery  against 
Danielson  for  that  part  of  the  farm  held  by  him.  Gov.  Burnet  made  a  decree  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  prayer  of  the  bill,  Aug.  17,  1727.  Sept.  IS,  1727,  Danielson  acknowl- 
edged Kennedy  as  his  landlord,  and  accepted  from  him  a  lease  of  the  S.  half  of  the 
farm  until  May  1,  1728.  Oct.  10,  1727,  Garret  Steinmets,  who  was  yet  holding  the 
N.  half  of  the  farm  under  the  Palmer  lease,  surrendered  to  Kennedy,  and  accepted 
from  him  a  lease  for  life  at  the  reHt  of  one  ear  of  Indian  corn  when  demanded,  and  a 
proper  proportion  of  the  Quit-rents  reserved  to  the  proprietors.  Steinmets  assigned 
his  interest  in  this  lease  to  Mattys  De  Mott  Feb.  20,  1729. 

On  the  expiration  of  Danielson's  lease,  Kennedy  took  possession  of  the  S.  half  of 
the  farm.  The  death  of  Garret  Steinmets  in  1733  gave  Kennedy  the  possession  of  the 
N.  half. 

Draramond's  will  was  dated  Dec.  13,  1736.  Andrew  Johnson,  his  surviving  ex- 
ecutor, tiansferred  the  title  to  Kennedy,  April  24,  1747.  Thus  his  possession  was 
complete,  and  his  title  as  perfect  as  the  proprietors  could  make  it.  He  died  June  14, 
1763.  By  his  will,  his  son  Archibald,  Earl  of  Casselis,  received  two-thirds  of  the  prop- 
erty, and  his  daughter  Catherine  one-third.  Catherine  sold  her  interest  in  the  farm 
to  her  brother,  May  16,  1765,  for  £1333  6s.  Sd. 

From  the  time  that  Kennedy  took  possession  of  the  farm,  there  was  a  continual 
strife  between  him  and  the  freeholders  of  Bergen.  Trespasses,  ejectments,  injunc- 
tions, indictments,  verdicts,  and  decrees  followed  each  other  for  nearly  three-quarters 
of  a  century.  Kennedy  filed  a  bill  for  quiet  possession  Sept.  8,  1783.  This  was  dis- 
missed by  Chancellor  Paterson,  March  6,  1793.  The  decree  of  dismissal  was  opened, 
and  the  cause  reargued  Feb.  11,  1794.  A  decree,  dated  Feb.  20,  1794,  was  made  that 
the  freeholders  should  bring  a  suit  in  ejectment  in  the  Supreme  Court,  to  be  tried  be- 
fore a  special  jury  from  Somerset  County,  and  the  verdict  certified  to  the  Chancellor. 
Such  suit  was  brought,  and  the  jury  rendered  a  verdict  In  favor  of  the  freeholders, 
Feb.  27,  I80O.  Kennedy  still  held  on,  and  a  bill  was  filed  asking  the  court  to  give 
effect  to  the  verdict.  A  compromise  was  at  last  effected,  and  both  parties  sold  to  John 
B.  Coles,  of  N.  Y.,  Feb.  4,  1804. 

Kennedy,  Earl  of  Casselis,  died  Dec.  29,  1794,  leaving  two  sons,  John  and  liobert, 
who,  by  his  will,  dated  Jan.  19,  1794,  received  all  his  lands  in  America.  In  1803  they 
made  Kobert  Watts,  of  N.  Y.,  their  attorney  in  fact,  to  sell  their  lands,  and  he  exe- 
cuted the  deed  to  Coles. 

John  B.  Coles  died  seized,  Jan.  2, 1827.  His  children  were  Hannah,  Eliza  F.,  Isaac 
W.,  Benjamin  U.,  John  B.,  and   WiUiani  F.

mark'd  on  the  Map  No  1 7 1 1 

The  Farm  was  mapped  in  1804,  map  made  by  Joseph  F.  Mangin. 

The  tract  not  be'ng  Patent  land,  no  common  land  was  allotted  to  it.  Yet  by  virtue 
of  his  claim  to  the  Farm,  it  was  feared  Kennedy  might  succeed  in  getting  a  portion  of 
the  commons.  He  quit-claimed  all  his  right  thereto  for  £310,  to  Wm.  Bayard,  Hen- 
dricl<  Kuyper,  Cornelius  Van  Vorst,  Cornelius  Garrabrants,  Cornelius  BrinkerhoflF, 
Michael  Vreelandt,  George  Vreelandt,  Andries  Segaerd,  Jacob  Van  Wagenen,  George 
Cadmus,  Peter  Buskirk,  John  Buskirk,  Margaret  Buskirk,  Johannis  Van  Wagenen, 
Abraham  Sickles,  Garret  Newkirk,  and  Daniel  Diedricks. 

In  front  of  this  Tract,  lying  under  the  water  in  Harsimus  Cove,  a  part  of  which  is 
now  the  Long  Dock  property,  a  tract  =  53|  acres  was  surveyed  by  the  proprietors  to 
Elisha  Boudinot,  May  21,  1802.  He  sold  to  Nathaniel  Budd  Jan.  2,  1804,  who  sold 
to  Willis  Hall  Oct.  1,  1835.  On  the  same  day  Hall  gave  to  Budd  a  consideration 
mortgage  for  $12,000.  Hall  sold  to  the  N.  J.  Harbor  Company  (incorporated  March 
13,  1837)  May  31,  1837.  The  mortgage  was  foreclosed,  decree  dated  Oct.  18,  1840, 
execution  dated  Jan.  7,  1841,  and  Henry  Newkirk,  sheriff,  sold  to  Mary  Bell,  Aug.  7, 
1841.     Gough  vs.  Bell,  2  Zah.,  441. 

*  This  lot  is  still  used  for  the  purpose  of  sepulture.  It  has,  as  a  burying-ground, 
been  enlarged  by  additional  ground. 

t  The  earliest  record  of  private  ownership  shows  this  lot  to  be  in  the  Winner 
family.  How  and  when  they  obtained  it  I  do  not  know.  It  lies  in  the  S.W.  corner 
of  Glenwood  and  Bergen  Aves.  The  S.  half  has  descended  to  its  present  owner,  John 
Winner,  Fide  Note  to  Van  VlecJc's  Patent,  p.  53.  John  Winner  sold  the  N.  half  to 
Peter  Stuyvesant,  April  26,  1787,  who  occupied  and  kept  tavern  in  an  old  house 
thereon.     Vide  Note  to  Varlet's  Patent,  p.  62.     George  Tise  is  the  present  owner.

Kuyper,  the  highest  bidder,  at  public  auction,  Sept.  5,  1764,  for  £7300,  "  proclamation 
or  lawful  money  of  New  Jersey."  The  deed  to  Kuyper  was  dated  Sept.  10,  1764,  and 
on  the  same  day  he  endorsed  on  the  deed  a  declaration,  that  he  held  the  same  in  trust 
as  follows  :  2-18ths  for  Anthony  White  of  New  Brunswick ;  l-18th  for  George  Vree-

chase money  in  the  above  proportions. 

The  money  received  for  the  lot  was  more  than  enough  to  defray  the  expenses  of  the 
allotment,  and  the  following  is  interesting  as  showing  what  became  of  the  surplus.  It

["Corporation  of  Bergen's  Powers  to  the  Trustees  to  appropriate  surplus  moneys 
to  charges  of  Subdivision  &c."] 

••  Know  all  men  by  these  presents,  that  whereas,  by  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of 
the  Colony  of  New  Jersey,  Entitled  "an  Act  appointing  Commissioners  for  finally 
settling  &  determining  the  several  Eights,  Titles  and  Claims  to  the  Common  Lands 
of  the  Township  of  Bergen,  and  for  making  a  partition  thereof  in  just  and  equitable 
proportions  among  those,  who  shall  be  adjudged  by  the  said  Commissioners  to  be  en- 
titled to  the  same."  The  Commissioners  therein  named  and  appointed  were  directed 
to  set  apart  &  sell  so  much  of  said  Common  Lands  as  they  should  think  sufficient  to 
defray  the  Charges  of  a  general  partition  of  the  said  Common  Lands,  and  out  of  the 
moneys  arising  by  such  sale  to  detain  in  their  hands  the  charges  of  the  said  general 
partition,  and  to  pay  the  surplus  (if  any)  to  the  Trustees  of  the  Freeholders  inhab- 
itants of  the  said  Township  of  Bergen,  for  the  use  of  the  Corporation. 

And  whereas,  at  a  public  meeting  of  the  said  Freeholders  Inhabitants  of  said 
Township  of  Bergen,  with  the  Trustees  held  at  the  Town  of  Bergen,  on  the  second 
day  of  July  last  past,  it  was  agreed  and  concluded,  as  well  by  the  Trustees  as  the 
Freeholders  Inhabitants  of  the  said  Township  and  Corporation  of  Bergen,  that  out  of 
the  surplus  monej'  arising  by  the  sale  of  the  Land  aforesaid  if  sufficient  for  that  pur- 
pose, the  arrears  of  Quit  Rents  due  from  the  Township  to  the  General  Proprietors  of 
the  Eastern  Division  of  New  Jersey,  should  be  paid  and  discharged,  and  also,  that 
out  of  the  same  if  sufficient  the  Trustees  should  have  all  their  reasonable  demands 
against  the  said  Township  fully  satisfied ;  and  if  any  of  the  said  surplus  should  then 
remain,  it  was  also  agreed  and  concluded  that  the  same  should  be  proportioned  & 
divided  among  the  said  Freeholders  and  Inhabitants. 

And  whereas  the  Land  so  set  apart  hath,  pursuant  to  the  said  Law,  been  latelj' 
sold,  and  produced  a  much  greater  sum  of  money  than  was  expected,  insomuch  that 
after  defraying  the  expense  of  the  General  Partition,  discharging  the  Quit  Rents  to 
the  General  Proprietors,  and  the  reasonable  demands  of  the  Trustees,  a  surplus  will 
then  remain  sufficient  (as  it  is  conceived)  to  defray  the  whole  charge  that  may  acci-ue 
in  making  a  Subdivision  of  the  said  Common  Lands,  if  applied  to  that  purpose. 

And  whereas,  the  charges  attending  the  said  Subdivision  seem  by  the  said  law  in- 
tended to  be  raised  by  selling  a  part  of  the  Commons  allotted  to  each  respective  Patent, 
which  method,  if  pursued  would  be  attended  with  length  of  time  and  many  other  in- 
conveniences, troublesome  to  the  Commissioners,  and  detrimental  to  the  general  inter- 
est of  the  Freeholders. 

Therefore  we  the  Subscribers,  Freeholders  Inhabitants  of  the  Township  &  Cor- 
poration of  Bergen,  taking  into  Consideration  the  above  matters,  and  finding  that  the 
law  seems  rather  to  permit  than  enjoin  such  sales  to  be  made,  do  hereby  appropriate 
such  surplus  money  aforesaid,  raised  by  the  sale  of  the  land  aforesaid,  set  apart 
&  sold  for  defraying  the  charge  of  the  General  Partition  remaining  after  defraying 
the  same,  and  the  Quit  Rents  to  the  Proprietors,  and  the  reasonable  demands  of  the 
said  Trustees,  or  so  much  of  the  said  surplus  as  may  be  sufficient  for  that  purpose, 
to  be  a  fund  for  defraying  the  charge  that  may  accrue  on  making  all  the  subdivisions 
of  the  said  Common  Lands.  And  we  do  hereby  authorize,  impower,  and  order, 
Johannis  Uriance,  Hendricus  Kuyper,  and  Helmigh  Van  Houte,  or  either  of  them 
(who  we  acknowledge  to  be  Trustees)  to  pay  unto,  or  otherwise  suffer  Charles  Clin-

FERRY  LOT. 

The  interests  of  the  different  owners  of  this  lot  became  consolidated  in  Charles 
Henry  Lambert  Preudhomme  du  Pont,  in  1800.  I  will  not  attempt  to  trace  the  sev- 
eral transfers.  At  that  time  it  lay  E.  of  the  road.  He  annexed  it  to  Lot  No.  10,  by 
procuring  a  relocation  of  the  road  to  the  E.  side  of  the  Lot,  Feb  17,  1801.  Fide  Note 
to  Kill  Lot  No.  10.  It  is  well  to  observe  that  the  road  as  now  in  existence  is  entirely 
upon  the  Ferry  lot,  and  that  the  road  was  opened  to  the  water  and  there  connected 
with  the  Ferry.  For  many  years,  however,  its  use  to  the  water's  edge  has  been 
abandoned.

*  Bergen  Church  was  incorporated  Dec.  20,  1771,  by  Act  of  the  Legislature. 
On  March  5,  1806,  the  Congregation  determined  to  sell  their  lands,  and  the  Consistory 
decided  to  sell  this  lot  to  the  highest  bidder.  The  E.  part  of  the  lot  was  sold  to  Jacob 
Prior  April  30,  1806  (Elias  Eai-1  bought  a  piece  of  the  lot,  which  Abraham  Vreeland 
afterwards  purchased).  These  sales  were  confirmed  Jan.  28,  1814.  Owing  to  an  in- 
accuracy in  the  description,  a  new  deed  was  given  to  Prior  Dec.  5,  1809.  His  pur- 
chase was  on  the  E.  end  of  the  lot  =  30f  acres  and  six  perches.  By  will,  dated  Aug. 
14,  1830,  Prior  gave  this  lot  to  bis  children  Nicholas  and  Gitty,  wife  of  Henry  Allen. 
Allen  et  ux.  sold  their  interest  in  the  lot  Oct.  2,  1833,  and  confirmed  it  by  another 
deed  July  16,  1850. 

Nearly  half  of  the  lot  remained  in  possession  of  the  Church.  The  Consistory  re- 
solved, Sept.  21,  1835,  to  take  the  sense  of  the  Congregation  as  to  selling  the  lands  of 
the  Church.  A  paper  was  circulated  for  that  purpose,  and  the  result  was  94  votes  for 
the  sale;  1  vote  for  the  sale,  "except  the  lands  near  where  the  church  now  is,"  and  — 
votes  for  the  sale,  "  except  the  old  parsonage  lot  "  ;  nays,  none.  An  act  was  passed 
in  1837  empowering  the  Church  to  sell  lands.  The  W.  half  of  the  lot  =  31  80-100 
acres,  bounded  N.  E.  by  the  heirs  of  Clendenny  and  David  Yreeland,  S.  E.  by  Nicholas 
Prior,  S.  W.  by  John  E.  Post,  N.  W.  by  the  old  road,  was  sold  to  Stephen  Garretson 
Feb.  11,  1839.  The  grantee  being  a  deacon  in  the  Church  at  the  time,  a  question  was 
raised  as  to  his  title.  A  confirmatory  deed  was  executed  May  31,  1851.  Garretson 
sold  to  Luman  Sherwood  June  10,  1851,  and  he  to  Edwin  J.  Brown  Sept.  27,  1852.

'-■  In  the  allotment  of  the  Common  Lands  the  Commissioners  had  regard  to  the  lo- 
cation of  the  Patents  to  which  they  were  allotted.  From  and  including  the  Wee- 
hawken  Patent  south  along  the  river  to  and  including  Dirck  Sycau's  first  Patent,  the 
owners  thereof  received  lands  extending  from  the  river  bacli  to  what  was  known  as  the 
Bergen  Line.  The  reason  assigned  for  this  was,  that  these  persons  could  boat  their  fuel 
from  their  wood-lots  to  their  homes.  The  district  in  which  these  lots,  assigned  to  the 
shore  owners  lay,  was  known  by  the  general  name  of  Slonga.  It  lay  between  Wee- 
hawken  and  the  northerly  bounds  of  the  county. 

The  owners  of  the  patented  lands  south  of  the  southerly  bounds  of  Dirck  Sycan's 
first  Patent  received  their  commons  in  that  immediate  vicinity — in  Greenville  and 
Bayonne  ;  then  known  as  Minkakwa,  Pembrepogh,  and  Bergen  Point. 

The  owners  of  patented  lands  on  the  Hill  received  their  commons  north  of  the 
patented  lands,  and  between  the  westerly  line  of  the  shore  lots  and  the  easterly  line 
of  the  Secaucus  Commons.  This  district  was  known  by  the  general  name  of  Bergen 
Woods,  but  sometimes  called  the  Bergen  Lots. 

The  lands  allotted  to  the  patent  of  Secaucus  were  known  by  the  name  of  the  Se- 
caucus Commons. 

It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  remind  the  reader  that  the  private  ownership  of  the  lots 
hereinafter  described,  having  been  held  in  common  up  to  that  time,  does  not  date  be- 
yond the  Field  Book. 

t  Lots  Nos.  201,  202,  203,  were  confiscated  as  the  property  of  William  Bayard.  Vide 
Note  to  Hohoken  Patent,  p  6.  Haring,  the  agent  for  forfeited  estates,  caused  the  land 
embraced  within  these  three  lots  to  be  surveyed  and  laid  out  into  19  lots.  Careful 
search  and  extended  inquiry  have  been  made  for  this  map,  but  without  success.

Nevertheless,  I  have  been  able,  with  proper  assistance,  to  reproduce  the  map  from

Hai-ingsold  to  Daniel  Baldwin 
Dec.  1,  1784.  This  tract  in- 
cludes Kings  Point,  or"  High- 
wood."  Baldwin  conveyed  to 
Daniel  Smith  March  28,  1788, 
who  conveyed  it  to  his  son 
Daniel  Sept.  3,  1796;  who 
conveyed  to  David  Hennion 
July  25,  1815.  Hennion  gave 
to  Smith  a  mortgage.  Smith 
seems  to  have  died  about  this 
time,  and  his  heirs  released  to 
Charles  Watts  in  February 
and  March,  1819 ;  who  con- 
veyed to  Moses  Isaacs  Nov.  4, 
1819.  Smith  assigned  the  Hen- 
nion mortgage  to  Philip  Earle, 
who  foreclosed  and  purchased 
the  property  at  sheriffs  sale 
June  3,  1822.  The  Hoboken 
Land  Improvement  Company 
conveyed  to  James  G.  King 
June  6,  1842,  14  4-10  acres, 
including  the  "Point."  Mr. 
King  purchased  of  Philip 
Earle's  executors  two  acres 
near  the  gate  house  April  18, 
1840.  All  of  these  two  lots 
lying  E.  of  the  Bulls  Ferry 
road  is  now  owned  by  the  heirs 
of  James  G.  King. 

Lots  Nos.  3  and  4.  The  Com- 
missioners of  the  loan  office  of 
Bergen  County,  Fide  Act  of  the  Legislature,  passed  May  26,  1786,  sold  these  lots 
to  Peter  Zabriskie," executor  of  Jacob  Zabriskie.  March  4,  1791.  Zabriskie  con- 
veyed them  to  James  Van  Home  March  12,  1792.  They  are  now  owned  by  the  heirs 
of  James  G.  King.

Then  South  thirty  three  Degrees  West  nineteen  Chains  and  twelve  Links, 

Lots  N^os.  5,  6,  7,  8.  Daniel  Baldwin  seems  to  have  owned  these  lots.  On  an  exe- 
cution against  him,  Peter  Ward,  sheriff",  sold  them  to  Jonas  Ward  March  25,  1788. 
Elijah  Gardner  afterwards  owned  at  least  part  of  them  —probably  purchased  from 
Ward.  Matthias  Ludlam  seems  to  have  owned  a  considerable  part  of  these  lots, 
which  he  conveyed  to  David  Deas  Oct.  7,  1789,  in  trust  for  James  Deas  (who  had 
married  Susanna,  daughter  of  Ludlam),  for  life,  then  to  his  children.  By  will,  dated 
April  18, 1812,  proved  May  30,  1812,  James  Deas  gave  all  his  lands  to  his  wife  for 
life,  then  to  his  children  equally.  These  heirs  conveyed  to  James  Brown  26  42-100 
acres  July  31,  1852,  and  19  acres  to  James  G.  King  Jan.  10,  1853.  This  last  tract 
seems  to  have  been  covered  by  a  deed  from  Henry  Ludlam  to  James  Deas  Aug.  8, 
1796;  also  by  a  deed  from  Francis  Myerhoff  to  James  Hanna  June  22,  1808.  Mr. 
King  also  purchased  from  the  Deas  heirs,  Nov.  26,  1849,  the  strip  lying  between  the 
top  of  the  hill  and  the  river. 

Lot  Ilo.  9.  On  an  execution  against  Eobert  Neil,  Peter  Ward,  sheinff",  sold  this 
lot  to  James  Grier  Jan.  1,  1790 ;  who  sold  to  Elijah  Gardner  March  26,  1801.  He 
died  seized. 

Lot  No.  10  was  sold  by  Haring  to  Aaron  Wyman,  who  conveyed  to  Elijah  Gardner 
Feb.  24,  1787.  Of  this  lot  and  several  others  Gardner  died  seized  in  June,  1807,  leaving 
his  property  to  his  three  sons,  James  F.,  John  and  Thomas.  The  last  two  released 
to  James  F.  July  4,  1827  ;  who  died  in  1852,  leaving  Charles  E.,  James,  Robert,  Elijah 
and  two  daughters. 

Lot  No.  11  was  sold  by  Haring  to  William  Jackson  May  10,  1784.  Jackson  died 
seized,  and  by  will  gave  this  lot  and  Lot  No.  12  to  his  sons,  Henry  and  John  F.  The 
latter  conveyed  his  interest  to  Henry  Dec.  23,  1815.  He  sold  the  two  lots  to  John 
Zule  May  1,  1819 ;  who  sold  to  William  J.  Cantello  Nov.  29,  1827 ;  who  sold  to 
Peter  Kerrigan  June  14,  1823 ;  who  conveyed  to  Cantello  June  6,  1834 ;  who  con- 
conveyed  to  Enoch  Durar  Oct.  22,  1844 ;  who  conveyed  to  the  Hudson  County  Real

Merselis.  By  his  will,  dated  March  15,  1799,  proved  Dec.  5,  1800,  he  gave  the  S.  W. 
half  to  his  son  JbAn,  who  sold  to  Merselis  Merselis  Aug.  17,  1801,  who  sold  to  John

John  Merselis  gave  to  John  J.  Van  Home  a  deed  for  this  half  May  21,  1839.  TheN. 
E.  half  went  to  John's  sisters,  Jannetje,  wife  of  Walter  Clendenny.and  Anne,  wife  of

As  by  the  same  original  Notice  filed  in  the  Office  of  the  Clerk  of  the 
County  of  Bergen  may  appear — A  true  Copy  of  which  said  Notice  was 
printed  and  published  in  two  of  the  public  News  Papers  commonly  called 
the  New  York  Gazette  &  Mercury,  to  wit,  in  the  Gazette  Numbers  294, 
295,  296,  297,  298,  299,  300,  301,  302,  303,  304,  &  305,  and  m  the 
Mercury  Numbers  665,  666,  667,  668,  669,  670,  671,  672,  673,  674,  675, 
&  676,  as  by  the  same  News  Papers  refference  being  thereto  had  may 
appear.  Copies  of  which  said  Notice  were  also  affixed  on  the  Court 
House  in  Hackinsack  and  the  Church  in  Bergen. 

And  we  the  said  five  Commissioners  having  met  pursuant  to  the  said 
Notice  and  before  ent'ring  upon  the  Execution  of  the  Business  being 
joined  by  Jacob  Spicer  We  the  said  six  Commissioners  with  George 
Clinton  one  of  our  Surveyors  (Jonathan  Hampton  the  other  Surveyor 
having  been  notified  and  not  attending)  did  proceed  to  the  Subdivision 
of  the  Common  Lands  which  have  been  allotted  to  each  respective 
Patent  or  Grant  within  the  Bounds  and  Limits  of  the  said  Township  of 
Bergen. 

And  here  we  think  it  needful  to  observe — That  inasmuch  as  the  Field 
Work  or  Surveys  of  the  Subdivision  which  are  to  be  recorded  in  this 
<^CCOntr  }^att  of  the  Field  Book  cannot  be  laid  down  and  represented 
on  the  Schedule  or  Map  of  the  General  Partition  without  rendering  (in 
many  Respects)  the  whole  Map  unintelligible.  We  have  therefore  found 
it  necessary  to  annex  (to  the  Schedule  of  the  General  Partition)  two 
other  Schedules  protracted  from  a  larger  Scale  for  the  Purpose  of  the 
Subdivision.  Which  three  Schedules  together,  do  form  and  make  up  the 
one  U)i)Ole  map.  One  of  these  Schedules  of  the  Subdivision  we  have 
distinguished  by  the  Title  *<  Sci}ttlUle  ^,'*  and  the  other  by  the  Tide 
■125  "  .SCljCTlUlt  15,'*  And  upon  these  *  two  Schedules  we  have  laid  down 
and  represented  the  Surveys  of  the  whole  Subdivision. 

And  We  think  it  further  necessary  in  Regard  to  these  two  Schedules 
of  the  Subdivision  to  observe  once  for  all — That  as  each  and  every  of  the 


COMMON    LANDS.  197 

Lots  of  Common  Land  which  have  been  allotted  to  the  respective  Patents 
upon  the  General  Partition  are  represented  on  the  Schedule  or  Map  of 
the  said  General  Partition,  and  are  there  respectively  distinguished  by  a 
particular  Number,  So  we  have  laid  down  each  and  every  of  these  Lots 
in  their  Order  upon  the  two  Schedules  of  the  Subdivision  and  have  there 
distinguished  them  by  the  very  same  Numbers  as  they  are  respectively 
distinguished  on  the  said  Schedule  or  Map  of  the  General  Partition  ex- 
cepting a  few  small  Lots  of  Common  Land  lying  in  and  about  the  Town 
which  may  be  seen  in  the  Town  Plot  on  the  Map  of  the  General 
Partition. 

And  these  Things  being  premised  We  proceeded  in  the  Business  of 
the  Subdivision  and  that  in  the  Order  following,  to  wit, 

With  Respect  to  the  Lot  of  Common  Land  which  has  been 
allotted,  To  the  Patent  of  Wiehaken  granted  by  William  Kieft

seventy,  being  that  Lot  of  Common  Land  which  in  the  Field

Number  201. 

William  Bayard  Esq''  claimed  the  said  Lot,  and  upon  Examina- 
tion of  his  Title  we  conceive  him  to  be  the  true  Proprietor  And

With  Respect  to  the  three  Lots  of  Common  Land  which 
have  been  allotted  To  the  Patent  of  Hobocken  granted  by

belong  to  him.

Common  Land  which  in  the  Field  Book  &  Map  of  the  Gen- 
eral Partition  are  distinguished  by  the  Numbers  211  and  237 

Cornelius  Van  A-'ost  claimed  the  said  two  Lots,  and  no  other 
Person  or  Persons  claiming  the  same  or  a  Subdivision  thereof  We 
upon  Examination  of  his  Title  conceive  him  to  be  the  true  Pro- 
prietor, And  Do  therefore  adjudge  the  said  two  Allotments  to  be- 
long to  him.

guished by  the  Number  238. 

Cornelius  Van  Vost  claimed  the  said  Lot,  and  no  other  Person 
or  Persons  claiming  the  same  or  a  Subdivision  thereof.  We  upon

Michael  De  Mott  &  George  De  Mott  claimed  the  same  Lot  as 
Tenants  in  Common  thereof,  and  upon  Examination  of  their  Titles 
We  conceive  them  to  be  the  true  Proprietors  And  do  therefore

George  De  Mott  in  equal  moietys. 

With  Respect  to  the  Lot  of  Common  Land  which  has  been

Vreeland,  John  took  the  south  half  of  this  lot,  and  George  the  north  half  (the  same 
then  containing  sixty  acres).  The  partition  was  not  formal.  George  died  seized  of 
part,  devising  the  same  to  his  children.  His  heirs  divided  the  same  into  three  parts, 
each  containing  ten  acres  and  sixty-six  one-hiindredths  of  an  acre ;  the  north  third 
was  conveyed  to  Jacob  Van  Home  (?) ;  the  middle  third  to  Thomas  McDonald  June 
15, 1832 ;  the  southerly  third  to  John  Carragan.  McDonald  conveyed  part  of  his  third

to  Adele  Buchanan  Oct.  19,  1859.  She  died  seized  and  the  lot  was  inherited  by  her 
infant  children,  and  by  order  in  chancery  was  sold  to  Edward  A.  Willard.

life  estate  to  his  two  daughters  by  separate  deeds  July  1,  1832,  who  seem  to  have 
taken  as  by  partition  the  land  described  in  these  deeds.  Cornelia  took  the  north  part, 
and  quit-claimed  the  south  part  to  Catherine  April  22,  1857,  who  sold  to  William

COiMMON    LANDS. 


*  With  respect  To  the  Lot  of  Common  Land  which  has 
been  allotted  To  the  Patent  of  Petrus  Stuyvesant  to  Nicholas 
Varlet  and  Nicholas  Bayard  dated  the  tenth  Day  of  De- 
cember, one  thousand  six  hundred  and  sixty  three,  confirm'd 
by  Patent  from  Philip  Carteret  to  said  Varlet  &  Payard  dated 
the  thirtieth  Day  of  October,  one  thousand  six  hundred  and 
sixty  seven,  being  that  Lot  of  Common  Land  which  in  the 
Field  Book  &  Map  of  the  General  Partition  is  distinguished 
by  the  Number  283. 
William  Bayard  Estf-  claimed  the  said  Lot  as  the  sole  Proprie- 
tor, at  the  same  'I'ime  a  great  Number  of  other  Persons  claim'd 
the  same  as  Tenants  in  Common  thereof,  And  after  a  long  De- 
liberation and  the  most  mature  Attention  as  well  to  the  Nature  of 
the  various  Claims  as  the  Opinion  of  sundry  Council  deliver'd  on 
the  Subject  tDC  find  the  Mater  upon  the  whole  to  be  so  intricate, 
obscure  &  doubtful  that  we  are  not  able  to  obtain  such  Clearness 
&  Unanimity  as  is  necessary  to  enable  us  to  pronounce  upon  the 
Mater  being  equally  divided  in  Opinion,  And  therefore  U)C  do  not 
declare  to  whom  or  among  whom  the  said  Allotment  of  Common 
Land  does  belong.

CHAPTER    V. 

S  E  C  A  U  C  U  S      CO  M  M  0  N  S  . 

The  preceding  Field  Book  disposes  of  all  the  Land  in  the 
old  Township  of  Bergen,  and  settles  th3  ownership  of  nearly  all 
the  Common  Lands  except  the  Tract  allotted  to  the  Patent  of  Se- 
caucus.  This  was  not  subdivided  by  the  first  commission  and  the  rea- 
son therefor  probably  lay  in  the  fact  that  many  of  the  owners  were 
non-residents  who  had,  by  inheritance,  become  owners  of  consider- 
able parts  of  this  Patent,  which  Avere  undivided.  This  confusion 
of  ownership  practically  prevented  an  allotment,  until  finally  the 
political  troubles  between  England  and  the  Colonies  intervened. 
As  soon  as  peace  was  re-established  efforts  were  made  to  obtain  a 
subdivision  of  the  allotment.  But  for  several  reasons  furtlier  leg- 
islation was  necessary  to  secure  this  object.  Thereupon  the  Leg- 
islature of  New  Jersey  enacted  as  follows  : 

CHAP.  XLVIII. 

A  Supple7ne7itary  act  to  an  Act,  intitled,  An  Act  appointing  Commission- 
ers for  finally  settling  atid  determining  the  several  Rights,  Titles  and  Claims 
to  the  Common  Lands  of  the  Township  of  Bergen,  and  for  maki?ig  Partition 
thereof  in  fust  and  equitable  Proportions  among  those  who  shall  be  adfudgcd 
by  the  said  Commissioners  to  be  entitled  to  the  same. 

Whereas  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  New  Jersey  Avas  passed  in  the 
Year  One  Thousand  Seven  Hundred  and  Sixty-three,  intitled,  An  Act 
appointing  Commissioners  for  finally  settling  and  determining  the  several 
Rights,  Titles  and  Claims  to  the  Common  Lands  of  the  Township  ofPei'gen, 
and  for  making  Partitioji  thereof  in  fust  and  equitable  Proportiotis  among 
those  who  shall  be  adfudged  by  the  said  CommissioJiers  to  be  entitled  to  the 
same,  by  which  said  Act  Jacob  Spicer,  Charles  Clinton,  William  Donald- 
son, Azariah  Dunham,  J'ohn  Berrien,  Samuel  Willis  and  Abraham  Clark, 
jun.  Esquires,  and  the  Majority  of  them,  and  the  Survivors  and  Survivor 
of  them,  and  the  Majority  of  such  Survivors,  were  appointed  Commission- 
ers for  making  Partition  of  the  Common  Lands  of  the  Township  of 
Bergen  aforesaid,  according  to  the  Directions  of  the  said  Act :  And  where- 
as the  said  Commissioners,  or  the  Majority  of  them,  in  or  about  the  Year 
One  Thousand  Seven  Hundred  and  Sixty-four,  proceeded  to  execute  the 
said  Trust,  and  having  first  surveyed  the  Outlines  of  the  said  Township 
and  the  several  Patents,  and  allotted  them  their  respective  Proportions  of 
the  common  Land,  made  the  Subdivisions  thereof,  and  located  to  each 
and  every  Proprietor  his  and  their  respective  Shares,  according  as  the  said 
Commissioners  judged  agreeably  to  Right,  except  in  the  single  Instance 
herein  particularly  provided  for  :  And  whereas  in  making  the  Subdivisions 
aforesaid,  a  Patent  was  produced  to  them,  called  the  Patent  of  Secaucus, 
dated  the  tenth  Day  o(  December  in  the  Year  of  Our  Lord  One  Thousand 
Six  Hundred  and  Sixty-three,  granted  by  Peter  Stuyvesant,  the  then  Dutch 
Governor,  to  Nicholas  Varlet  and  Nicholas  Bayard,  and  confirmed  to  the 
said  Varlet  and  Bayard  by  Governor  Philip  Carteret  on  the  Thirteenth 
Day  of  October,  in  the  Year  of  our  Lord  One  Thousand  Six  Hundred  and 


283  SECAUCUS    COM    ON 

Sixty-seven,  to  which  Patent  the  Commissioners  set  apart  a  certain  Lot 
of  Land,  called  the  common  Lands  allotted  to.  the  Patent  of  Sccaiicus,  in 
the  Corporation  of  Bergefi,  and  which  said  Lot  is  distinguished  by  the 
said  Commissioners'  Field-Books  and  Maps  of  the  General  Division  by 
the  Number  Two  Hundred  and  Kighty-three ;  Duplicates  of  both  which 
said  Books  and  Maps  are  said  to  be  iiled  as  of  Record  in  the  Secretary's 
Office  in  Fert/i  Amboy,  and  in  the  Clerk's  Office  in  the  County  oi Bergen  : 
And  whereas  a  great  Number  of  Persons  did  put  in  their  Claims  forthe 
said  Common  Lands,  in  considering  of  which  Claims  many  Difficulties 
occurred,  and  the  Commissioners  then  present  being  equally  divided  in 
Opinion,  were  prevented  from  finally  determining  to  Avhom  the  said  Lot 
of  Land  did  belong,  as  appears  by  the  Record  thereof  made  by  the  said 
Commissioners  in  their  said  Books  :  And  whereas  all  of  the  said  Com- 
missioners appointed  by  the  said  Act,  except  two,  are  since  deceased  : 
And  whereas  many  Difficulties  and  Inconveniencies  have  arisen  in  and 
about  the  Execution  of  the  said  Act,  in  the  determining  the  Claims  to  the 
Lands  allotted  to  the  Patent  of  Secaucus,  so  that  a  total  Obstruction  is 
put  to  the  Commissioners'  further  proceeding  ; 

Sect.  I.  Be  IT  therefore  enacted  by  the  Conncil  and  General  As- 
sembly of  this  H-tate,  and  it  is  hereby  Enacted'by  the  Anthotity  of  the  same,  That 
Abraham  Clark,  Azariah  Dunham,  Silas  Condict,  J-ohn  Carle,  and  Daniel 
Marsh,  Esquires,  shall  be,  and  are  hereby  appointed  Commissioners 
for  settling  and  finally  determining  in  whom  the  Right  or  Rights  of 
the  said  common  Lands  allotted  to  the  Patent  of  Secaucus  is  or  ar-e 
vested ;  and  if  it  shall  appear  to  the  said  Commissioners,  or  the  major 
Part  of  them,  that  a  Division  or  Subdivision  of  the  said  common  Lands 
is  necessary,  then  the  said  Commissioners  shall  proceed  to  make  Division 
thereof,  and  shall  cause  two  Field-Books  and  Maps  to  be  made,  specify- 
ing the  Bounds  of  each  and  every  Lot,  and  to  whom  allotted,  which  said 
Maps  and  Field-Books  shall  be  signed  by  the  said  Commissioners,  or  the 
major  Part  of  them,  and  their  Surveyor  or  Surveyors  :  And  if  the  Com- 
missioners shall  be  of  Opinion  that  the  Right  of  the  said  common  Land 
isvestedin  one  Person,  they  shall  certify  the  same  under  their  Hands;  and 
one  of  the  Field-Books  and  one  Map  of  the  AUottment  with  its 
Subdivisions,  if  such  Subdivision  is  found  necessary,  or  Certificate,  shall 
be  filed  of  Record  in  the  Secretary's  Office  ;  and  one  other  Field-Book, 
Map  or  Certificate,  shall  be  filed  in  the  Clerk's  Office  of  the  County  of 
Bergen,  to  be  kept  and  remain  as  Evidence,  and  shall  be,  and  are  hereby 
made  conclusive  Evidence  of  the  Transactions  of  said  Commissioners,  and 
such  Opinion  of  the  said  Commissioners  shall  be  deemed  good  and  valid 
in  Law  to  establish  the  Right  and  Title  of  the  Proprietor  or  Proprietors 
of  the  said  common  Lands. 

2.  And  be  it  further  Enacted  by  the  Authority  aforesaid,  That  the 
Commissioners  hereby  appointed,  before  they  enter  on  the  Execution  of 
any  Part  of  the  Trust  reposed  in  them  by  this  Act,  shall  severally  take 
an  Oath,  and  qualify  in  the  same  Manner  and  Form  as  the  Commis- 
sioners named  in  the  above  recited  Act  were  required  to  do  ;  and  there- 
after they,  and  their  Surveyors  and  Chain-Bearers,  shall  be  vested  with 
the  same  Powers  and  Privileges  respecting  the  said  Lot  of  common 
Land  allotted  to  the  said  Patent  of  Secaucus,  and  be  entitled  to  the  same 
Reward  for  theii- Services,  and  subject  to  the  same  Restrictions  and  Reg-

of  this  Act  shall  be  paid  and  defrayed  out  of  the  Surplus  or  remaining 
Money  appertaining  to  the  Proprietors  of  the  common  Lands  of  the  Cor- 
poration of  the  Township  of  Bergen,  provided  the  same,  or  a  sufficient 
Part  thereof  for  defraying  the  Expence  of  the  said  Subdivision,  can  be 
obtained  by  the  said  Commissioners  upon  Demand  of  the  Persons  who 
were  Trustees  of  the  Freeholders  of  the  Township  of  Bcrgeti,  at  the  Time 
the  other  Parts  of  the  Commons  of  Bcrgcm  were  divided,  or  of  their 
Executors  or  administrators,  to  which  Trustees  at  that  7  ime  the  Surplus 
aforesaid  is  said  to  have  been  paid  by  their  Commissioneis ;  and  in  case 
the  said  Commissioners,  upon  their  entering  upon  the  Execution  of  the 
Business  to  which  by  this  Act  they  are  appointed,  shall  not  be  able  to 
obtain  from  said  Trustees  or  their  Representatives  upon  Demand  the 
Whole,  or  so  much  of  the  Money  appertaining  to  the  Proprietors  of  the 
common  Land  of  Bergen,  which  was  paid  to  the  said  Trustees  by  the 
former  Commissioners,  as  in  their  Opinion  will  be  sufficient  to  defray  the 
Expence  attending  the  Business  to  which  by  this  Act,  they  are  appointed  ; 
that  then,  and  in  such  Case,  the  said  Commissioners,  or  the  major  Part

Settlement  and  Division  of  the  said  Commons ;  and  the  said  Commis- 
sioners herein  named,  and  the  major  Part  of  them,  shall  be,  and  they 
hereby  are  invested  with  all  the  Powers  granted  to  the  Commissioners

Thus  empowered,  the  new  Commission  proceeded  Avith  the 
work  of  subdividing  the  Secaucus  Commons.  The  following  is  a 
copy  of  their  Field-Book  and  Map,  showing  the  result  of  their 
work.  Thej  were  filed  as  directed  in  the  Act,  but  strange  to  say, 
no  evidence  appears  on  them  of  their  having  been  filed  in  the 
office  of  the  Secretary  of  State.  As  to  how  they  came  to  be  filed 
in  the  Hudson  County  Clerk's  office  the  reader  is  referred  to 
what  was  said  on  i)age  24.  There  is  no  doubt  that  this  work  is 
marked  with  the  same  care  and  accuracy  which  are  so  characteristic 
of  the  work  of  the  first  Commissioners.

teen Chains  and  seventy  links  to  a  stake  in  the  line  of  the  Bergen  Lots, 
thence  along  said  line  South  thirty  five  Degrees  West  six  Chains  and 
Twenty  seven  links  to  the  place  of  Beginning ;  Containing  about  Nine 
Acres  and  One  tenth  of  an  Acre, 

The  other  of  which  said  Lots  Marked  No  23  begins  at  a  stake 
planted  for  a  Corner  in  the  line  of  the  Bergen  Lots,  the  said  Stake  being 
the  Eastermost  of  a  Lot  or  Portion  of  said  Common  Land  hereinafter 
mentioned  and  adjudged  to  belong  to  Doctor  Joseph  Sacket,  and  from

Hills  in  the  line  of  the  Bergen  Lots  North  Thirty  five   Degrees  East,  six 

was  a  part  of  the  "  Frenchman's  Garden."    Concerning  this  garden  I  have  met  with 
the  following  poetic  and  somewhat  sonoi-ous  accounts. 

"In  a  wild  and  romantic  situation  on  Bergen  Creek,  nearly  opposite  the  City  of 
New  York,  thirty  acres  of  land  were  purcliased  for  a  garden  and  fruitery  by  the  un- 
fortunate Louis  XVI.,  who  as  proprietor  became  a  naturalized  citizen,  by  act  of  the 
Legislature."  Warden's  History  of  the  United  States,  il.,  53.  This  .statement  of  War- 
den seems  to  have  been  based  on  a  notice  relating  to  tliis  garden  in  the  Xew  Jersey 
Journal,  June  27,  1787,  in  which  il  is  said,  "Part  of  this  space  is  at  present  enclosing 
with  a  stone  wall,  and  a  universal  collection  of  exotic,  as  well  as  domestic  plants, 
trees  and  flowers  are  already  begun  to  be  introduced  to  this  elegant  spot,  which  in 
time  must  rival  if  not  excel  the  most  celebrated  gardens  of  Europe.  The  situation  is 
naturally  wild  and  romantic,  between  two  considerable  rivers,  in  view  of  the  main 
ocean,  th^  city  of  New  York,  the  heights  of  Staten  Island,  and  a  vast  extent  of 
distant  mountains  on  the  western  side  of  the  landscape."  As  "tall  oaks  from  little 
ftcorns  grow,"  so  these  exaggerated  statements  had  their  origin  in  the  following  simple 
fact.  On  March  3,  1786,  Andre  Michaux,  in  his  petition  to  the  Legislature  of  this 
State,  set  forth  that  the  king  of  France  had  commissioned  him  as  his  Botanist  to 
travel  through  the  United  States,  that  he  had  power  to  import  from  France  any  tree 
plant  or  vegetable  that  might  be  wanting  in  this  country,  that  he  wished  to  establish 
near  Bergen  a  Botanical  Garden  ot  about  thirty  acres,  to  experiment  in  agriculture 
and  gardening,  and  which  he  intended  to  stock  with  French  and  American  plants,  as 
also  plant*  from  all  over  the  world.  The  Legislature  granted  his  petition,  and  per- 
mitted him  as  an  alien  to  hold  not  exceeding  two  hundred  acres  of  land  in  this  State, 

He  came  to  this  country  fortified  with  a  flattering  letter  of  introduction,  dated  at 
Vienna,  Sept,  3,  1785,  from  the  Marquis  de  La  Fayette  to  Washington.  Correspond 
dence  of  the  American  Mevolution,  iv.,  116.  He  was  attached  to  the  Jardin  des  Plants 
in  Paris.  He  brought  with  him  the  gardener,  Paul  Saunier,  who  took  the  title  to  the 
ground  bought  for  the  garden.  The  place  was  stocked  with  many  plants  and  trees, 
among  which  was  the  Lombard  poplar.  From  this  garden  this  once  celebrated  tree 
was  spread  abroad  through  the  country  and  pronounced  an  exotic  of  priceless  valqe.

Fifty  four  Degrees  East  Nineteen  Chains  and  ninety  Links  to  Mordainis 
Meadow,  thence  along  the  edge  of  said  Meadow',  where  the  same  joins 
the  upland  till  it  comes  to  bear  South  Fifty  Degrees  and  thirty  minutes 
East  from  a  Chesnut  Tree  standing  upon  a  point  of  a  narrow  ridge  of 
Land  projecting  towards  the  meadow  which  *  Tree  is  the  Place  of  Be-  4i 
ginning  of  the  General  Bounds  of  the  Township  of  Bergen,  thence  North 
Fifty  l3egrees  and  thirty  minutes  West  Thirty  five  links  to  said  Chesnut 
Tree,  thence  Continuing  the  same  Course  along  the  Line  of  the  Northern 
Bounds  of  the  Township  of  Bergen  until  it  comes  to  the  first  mentioned 
Stake,  the  place  of  Beginning,  Containing  about  One  Hundred  and 
Eighty  nine  Acres. 

IJ^aiJlttfl  gone  through  the  Division  of  the  Common  Land  allotted 
to  the  Patent  of  Secaucus  we  think  it  proper  as  a  greater  Certainty  to 
the  Courses  mentioned  in  the  several  surveys  to  give  this  information  that 
the  Magnetical  Course  with  which  all  the  lines  are  laid  down  and  Run 
Varies  from  the  true  Course  Three  Degrees  and  forty  minutes  to  the  left 
Hand,  so  that  a  Meridian  line  North  would  be  North  Three  Degrees  and 
forty  minutes  East  as  the  Magnet  now  Points. 

That  since  the  time  the  Common  Land  of  Bergen  was  Divided  we 
find  a  Variation  of  the  Compass  of  one  Degree  and  Thirty  minutes  which 
will  account  for  the  Difference  of  the  Courses  now  given  along  the  former 
Lines  from  what  the  surveys  of  the  former  Division  mention. 

*  We  think  it  proper  also  to  remark  that  an  attraction  of  the  Needle  *a2 
is  found  more  or  less  in  every  part  of  the  Commons  of  Secaucus  except 
on  the  Meadow  at  a  distance  from  the  upland  which  will  render  Lines 
run  by  the  Compass  on  the  upland  very  uncertain.  Our  lines  are  mostly 
run  by  Courses  taken  on  the  Meadow  and  Parallels  thereto  made  on  the 
upland. 

Kn  212EitnCSS  that  this  is  one  of  the  Field  Books  of  the  Division  of 
the  Common  Lands  allotted  to  the  Patent  of  Secaucus  made  pursuant  to 
a  Law  of  the  State  of  New  Jersey  hereinbefore  recited,  We  together  with 
the  Surveyor  have  hereunto  set  our  Hands  this  fifteenth  day  of  June  in 
the  Year  of  our  Lord  One  Thousand  seven  Hundred  and  Eighty  five.

CHAPTER   VL 


NEW     FIELD     BOOK. 


It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  I  submit  to  tlie  public  Avhat  I 
have  named  the  New  Field  Book,  and  the  Maps  accompanying 
the  same.  They  are  six  years  younger  than  the  old  Field  Book, 
and  yet,  I  do  not  doubt,  have  been  for  years  wholly  anknown. 
Controversies  concerning  certain  lands  lying  in  the  vicinity  of 
Newark  avenue  between  Mill  Creek  and  the  old  Bergen  road  seem  to 
have  arisen,  and  the  parties  in  the  dispute  submitted  all  questions 
of  title  and  boundary  to  the  award  of  Johannis  Demarest,  Albert 
Zabrowsky,  of  Hackensack,  and  John  Haring  of  "  Orange 
Town."  The  submission  I  have  not  seen  ;  the  Survey  and  Maps 
(containing  the  award)  were  found  in  the  possession  of  Dr  John 
M.  Cornelison.  They  are  originals,  in  a  good  state  of  preservation, 
exact  copies  of  which  are  here  inserted.  It  may,  I  think,  be  taken 
for  granted  that  they  are  the  only  ones  in  existence,  and  are  now 
for  the  first  time  given  to  the  inspection  of  the  curious.  They 
came  to  the  present  owner  among  the  papers  of  Henry  D.  Van 
Winkle,  owner  of  a  portion  of  the  land  therein  referred  to.  They 
throw  much  light  on  the  title  to  the  lands  between  the  Five  Corners 
and  Mill  Creek,  and  to  Lots  Nos.  355  and  389,  the  owners  of 
Avhich  the  Commissioners  of  Common  Lands  did  not  declare. 

It  is  a  matter  of  some  curiosity  to  know  how  this  Book  and 
these  Maps  came  into  the  possession  of  the  Van  Winkle  family. 
In  a  deed,  dated  Dec.  20,  1774,  given  by  the  Van  Idersteins  (de- 
scendants of  Tades  Michielse)  for  some  of  the  land  included  in  the 
New  Field  Book,  there  is  a  reference  to  the  same,  and  it  is  spoken 
of  as  "  lodged  in  the  hands  of  the  Town  Clerk."  There  is  no  mark 
upon  either  Book  or  Maps  to  show  that  they  ever  were  filed.  This 
recital,  I  presume,  is  conclusive  that  but  one  copy  was  made,  and 
that  it  was  considered  public  property.  It  is  probable  that  Daniel 
Van  Winkle,  or  some  one  of  the  family,  was  Town-clerk,  and  so 
came  to  the  possession  of  the  Book  and  Maps.

away  in  the  sewer  which  is  here  constructed  in  Newark  Avenue.

■"-  Michielse's  heirs,  viz.,  Tadnus  Johannis,  Teunis,  and  Tadens  Van  Iderstein  of 
New  Barbadoes,  sold  this  lot  to  Abraham  Prior,  Dec.  20,  1774. 

t  This  lot  was  the  south  part  of  Subdivision  Xo.  350,  adjoining  the  School  Lot. 
The  arbitrators  declare  that  it  was  a  dividend  for  the  money  paid  by  Helmigli  Roelofse 
(Van  H()uten>,  hut  do  not  adjudge  to  whom  it  belonged  in  1770.  Henry  La  Tonrette 
Cole  owned  it  in  179L  Peter  Cole  sold  it  to  Joseph  Simonson,  May  11,  1797  ;  who 
sold  it  to  John  Van  Winkle,  June  1, 1809;  who  sold  it  to  John  Priestly  Peteis,  June 
2.3,  1837;  Peters  sold  it  to  Mortimer  A.  F.  Harrison,  April  19,  1811.  This  deed  is 
lost  and  the  record  omits  words  of  inheritance.  It  has  since  been  sold  in  parcels  to 
several  persons.  In  1870,  Benj.  Sisson  bought  the  reversion  of  Peter's  heir  and 
brought  an  ejectment  suit  against  the  present  occupants.  The  suit  is  now  pending. 
The  lot  lies  between  the  Court  House  property  and  Bergen  Avenue.  As  to  the  Van 
Houten  family,  I  have  gathered  the  following  :  Hehnigh  Eoelofse  married  Jannetje 
Pi(  terse,  Sept.  1676.  The  "  Van  Houten  "  was  afterwards  added  as  a  family  name. 
TToute  or  Houten,  means  wooden  ;  from  Hout,  wood.  Iloelofse  had  ten  children 
among  whom  was  Johannis,  born  Oct.  28,  1693,  married  Helena,  daughter  of  Johan- 
nis Vreeland,  and  died  Dec.  18,  1763.  This  is  the  Van  Houten  named  in  the  Field 
Book.  He  left  one  son,  Johannis,  baptized  June  17, 1735,'married  (1st)  Altje,  daughter 
of  Hendrick  Sic'des,  (2nd)  Rachel  De  Maree,  and  died  Oct.  31,  1807,  leaving  Johan- 
nis, Sara,  Helmiy,  Catrintje  and  Aegie.  Catrintje  married  Jacob  Zabriskje,  Dec.  12,

CHAPTER  VII. 


NEW     B  A  R  B  A  D  O  E  S     NECK. 


Having  passed  in  review  the  title  of  many  tracts  in  the  old 
Township  of  Bergen,  it  will  not  be  out  of  place,  though  not  as  a 
part  of  the  Field  Book,  to  take  a  glance  at  that  portion  of  ''New 
Barbadoes  Neck  "  now  comprising  the  townships  of  Harrison  and 
Kearney.  This  neck  was  known  among  the  Indians  by  the  name 
of  Jitighgecticock.  It  was  estimated  to  contain  five  thousand  three 
hundred  and  eight  acres  of  upland  and  ten  thousand  ajcres  of  mead- 
ow. On  the  4th  of  July,  16ti8,  Captain  William  Sandfoi'd,  of  the 
Island  of  Barbadoes,  purchased  this  tract  from  the  Proprietors,  on 
condition  that  he  should  settle  thereon  six  or  eight  families  or  more 
within  three  years,  and  pay,  in  lieu  of  the  half  penny  per  acre  quit 
rent,  the  yearly  sura  of  £'20  sterling,  on  every  25th  of  March  ;  the 
first  payment  to  be  made  March  25th,  1670.  On  the  20th  of  July, 
1GG8,  he  purchased  the  claim  of  the  Indians  to  the  same  tract ;  be- 
ginning at  the  mouth  of  the  Ha(5keusack  and  Pissawack  Rivers, 
then  "to  goe  up  Northward  into  the  Countrey  about  seaven  Miles 
till  it  comes  to  a  certain  Brook  or  Spring  now  called  Sandford's 
Spring."  The  consideration  paid  was:  ^'170  fathoms  of  Black 
Wampam,  200  fathoms  White  Wampem,  19  Match  Coates,  16 
Guns,  60  double  hands  of  powder.  10  pairs  of  Breetches,  60  Knives, 
67  Barrs  of  Lead,  One  Anker  of  Brandy,  three  half  Fats  of  Beer, 
Eleven  Blankets,  ?0  Axes,  20  howes,  and  two  Cookes  of  dozens."* 
This  deed  was  signed  by  Tantaqua,  Tamack,  Anaren,  Hanya- 
ham,  H.  Gosque,  and  Ws  Kenarenawack,  who  represented  the 
Indian  claimants. 

Sanford's  purchase  seems  to  have  been  made  in  the  interest  of 
Major  Nathaniel  Kingsland,  of  the  Parish  of  Christ  Church  in  the  Is- 
land of  Barbadoes.  On  June  1,  1 6 7 1 ,  Kingsland  conveyed  to 
Sandford  one-third  of  the  whole  tract,  measuring  from  the  junction 
of  the  rivers  northward,  for  =£200.  Kingsland  having  extinguish- 
ed the  Indians'  title,  now  took  measures  to  perfect  his  omti. 

On  the  26th  of  March,   1673,  Peter  Watson  and  Ralph  Wyatt, 
residents  in  England,  for  a  consideration  of  .£200  and  ''  one  Indian 
arrow  "  yearly,  purchased  of  Berkley  and  Carteret  that  portion  of 
the  same   tract  which  lies  between  a  point  opposite  Newark  and

coats  of  duffels.''  Proc.  X.  J.  Hist.  Soc,  vii,  6.  Duffels  was  a  coarse  kind  of  clotii. 
Sandford's  Spring  was  afterwards  known  as  Boiling  Spring,  now  Rutherfurd  Par'.c,

the  Brook  opposite  Espatin,  and  immediately  conveyed  the  same 
to  William  JSandtord  in  trust  for  Nathaniel  Kingsland.  This  pur- 
chase extinguished  the  quit  rent.  It  was  confirmed  by  another 
deed  dated  May  21,  1673. 

On  the  recapture  of  the  country  by  the  Dutch  they  seized 
upon  Kingsland's  interest  in  this  tract,  and  on  Oct.  1,  1678,  order- 
ed it  to  be  sold.  It  was  sold  at  public  auction  and  a  deed  given, 
of  which  the  following  is  a  copy  :

The  following'  acknowledgment  shews  that  the  title  passed 
from  Melyn  to  Marins,  and  from  Marins  as  follows  : 

"  Before  me  Nicolas  Bayard  appointed  Secretary  in  the  service  of

On  the  restoration  of  the  country  to  the  English,  Kingsland 
came  again  into  the  possession  of  his  plantation.  By  his  will, 
dated  March  14,  1685,  he  gave  one-third  of  his  lands  in  New 
Jersey — about  three  thousand  four  hundred  and  two  acres — to  his 
nephew,  Isaac  Kingsland,  the  other  two-thirds  to  his  children, 
John,  Sathaniel,  IsaOeUa,  wife  of  Jlenry  Harding;  Caroline,  wife 
of  John  Barrow,  jr.  ;  Mary,  wife  of  William  Walley  ;  and  Esther, 
wife  of  Henry  Applethwaite.  By  Isaac  Kingsland's  "wdll,  dated 
Jan  1,  1G97-8,  Edmund,  his  eldest  son,  received  one- third  of  his 
plantation — about  eleven  hmidred  and  thirty  four  acres.  A  part 
of  this  tract  was  sold  by  Edmund  Kingsland  to  Arent  Schuyler 
April  I'O,  1710,  for  ^'330.  By  will,  dated  July  L'9,  1741,  proved 
July  26,  1 742,  Kingsland  gave  to  his  son  William  three  hundred 
acres  next  adjoining  Schuyler  ;  also  one-third  of  the  meadow  and 
one-third  of  the  cedar  swamp.  His  son,  Edmund  Roger,  received 
the  remainder  of  his  realty.  This  latter  devise  was  burdened  Avith 
the  payment  of  certain  legacies,  and  in  case  they  were  not  paid 
within  one  year,  then  the  property  devised  to  Edmund  R.  should 
go  to  his  son  Isaac,  with  the  same  burdens.  The  devisee  refused 
to  accept,  and  on  Sept.  10,  1743,  Isaac  accepted  the  devise,  and, 
by  his  will  dated  March  5,  1776,  proved  Aug.  23,  1783,  gave  to 
his  son  Abraiiam  one-half  of  all  his  lands,  and  divided  the  remain- 
der among  his  other  children,  Isaac,  Joseph,  Charles^  Aaron, 
Sarah,  and  Rachel. 

John  Kingsland,  by  will  dated  Aug.  18,  1763,  proved  Aug.  10, 
1768,  gave  the  north  half  of  his  lands  to  his  son  Richard.  The 
other  half  w^as  divided  among  his  children,  Elizabeth,  Hester,  wife 
of  Peter  Butler  ;  Edmund,  and  grandson  John,  son  of  Isaac. 

Sandford  settled  at  East  Newark,  where,  in  a  short  time,  must 
have  been  erected  a  number  of  buildings.  In  1680  his  place  was 
known  as  '^  Santforf,  an  English  village  opposite  3Iilfort,"  now 
Newark. — Long  Island  Hist.  Soc,  i,  266.  He  left  all  of  his 
property  to  his  wife  Sarah.  By  her  will,  dated  June  8,  1708, 
proved  June  25,  1719,  she  gave  to  her  daughter  Catharine,  wife 
of  Johannis  Van  Imburgh,  three  hundred  acres  of  woodland  and 
one  hundred  acres  of  meadow ;  and  to  Elizabeth,  wife  of  James 


328  NEW    BARBADOES   NECK. 

Davis,  three  hundred  acres  of  land.  To  her  son,  William,  she 
gave  the  farm  of  three  hundred  acres,  with  the  meadow,  for  life, 
then  to  his  son  William  in  fee.  He  also  received  the  residue  of 
her  lands.  V>y  will,  dated  Feb.  24,  1732,  proved  April  IG,  1733, 
William  Sandford,  2d,  gave  to  his  son  Richard  one-half  of  the 
Cedar  Swamp,  and  the  other  half  to  his  daughters,  Frances,  Jennie, 
and  Anne. 

By  will,  dated  Feb.  22,  1749,  proved  April  7,  1750,  William 
Sandford,  3d,  gave  to  his  only  son,  William,  all  his  lands,  con- 
sisting of  three  hundred  aci'cs,  and  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres  of 
meadow.  This  was  the  farm  mentioned  in  his  grandmother's  will, 
and  in  all  probability  lay  where  East  Newark  now  is. 

Peregrine  Sandford  (son  of  William,  2d),  by  will  dated  Nov.  6, 
1740,  proved  June  14,  1750,  gave  his  lands  to  his  children,  Enoch, 
William,  Jane,  Aghie,  and  Elizahtth. 

A  part  of  the  Sandford  tract,  which  I  take  to  be  the  farm  and 
meadow  named  in  Sarah  Sandford's  will,  was  purchased  by  Col. 
Peter  Schuyler,  and  thenceforth  called  Petersborough.  By  his 
will,  dated  March  21,  1761,  proved  May  2^,  1762,  Schuyler  gave 
it  to  his  only  child  Catharine,  wife  of  Archibald  Kennedy,  Earl  of 
Casselis.  Kennedy  and  wife  conveyed  to  James  Duane,  June  13, 
1765,  the  farm  on  New  Barbadoes  Neck  (Petersborough)  ;  also  two 
tracts  near  Secaucus,  between  the  line  of  the  Bergen  lots  and  Pin- 
horne's  Creek  and  Cromkill,  also  Col.  Schu^der's  interest  in  the 
commons  (?)  in  trust  for  themselves.  Duane  reconveyed  to  them 
and  to  the  survivor  June  15,  1765.  The  earl  outlived  his  wife, 
and,  by  v\ill  dated  Jan.  19,  1794,  left  his  property  in  America  to 
his  sons,  John  and  Robert.  I  do  not  know  how  the  interest  > ;' 
John  passed  to  Eobert,  but  in  1803  he  sold  the  tract  where  East 
Newark  now  is,  to  William  Halsey.  It  was  then  a  part  of  what 
was  known  as  "Kennedy's  Farm."  In  1804,  the  name  was 
changed  to  '^  Lodi."  Halsey  laid  out  a  part  of  his  purchase  into 
ninety  building  plots,  of  at  least  one  acre  each. 

Arent  Schuyler,  by  will  dated  Dec.  17,  1724,  proved  July  6, 
1732,  gave  his  lands  on  New  Barbadoes  Neck  to  his  son  JohPf 
who  left  them  to  his  son  Arcnt,  from  whom  they  have  descended 
to  his  grandchildren,  Arent,  Jacob  R.,  etc.
