PREFACE
In the ages to come, sucli books as this will live to
give to the world their wealth of information not
then from any other source to be obtained. The
Great Libraries of the world will preserve them.
Appreciating this fact, and actuated in the highest
sense by a desire to obey the Divine injunction,
"Honor thy father and thy mother," several gentle-
men bearing the honored family name of Lasher, de-
termined, before it was too late, to put together in
tangible shape, such records of the family as are now
accessible.
The compiling of this genealogy was started
through the active co-operation of George W. Lasher,
D. D., of Cincinnati, Ohio, Alfred P. Lasher, Esq., of
Saugerties, N. Y., Hazard Lasher, Esq., of New York
City and Thomas J. Lasher, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
of whom Alfred P. Lasher, Esq. took the lead; giving
freely of his time and of his money that this work
might be completed, thus gratifying his friends and
to be praised by generations yet to come.
6 Preface
There are gaps in the work which from the lack of
information are not now filled, for the descendants of
these early settlers whose name is now Lasher, and
other descendants of various names, do not differ from
those of other families. More modern details would
have been given if more of the letters and cir-
culars addressed to the members of the family,
soliciting information, had been answered; those who
did not answer either from lack of energy or courtesy,
or from neglect, or some reason known only to them-
selves, have apparently shown their unwillingness to
interest themselves in the collection and preservation
of the annals of their family.
It is to be hoped that some later generation will
take an interest in the matter and make more full
and complete what is here given. As time progresses,
old papers, old books and records, by accidental and
other causes are destroyed and lost — knowledge which
our ancestors possessed passes away; and this will
continue to be the case in the future. The contents of
these pages are from church and family records, old
papers, tombstones, public documents and the early
history of the country, and from information derived
from members of the family on whom personal calls
Preface 7
were made. They are intended to be acurate and
reliable; but in a work of this kind errors are apt to
to creep in and no doubt have crept in, in spite of
all efforts to prevent it.
In the early French, Dutch and German churches
the records were kept in the different languages; for
the purposes of this genealogy the records are here
given by translation and equivalents in English. To
the members of the family and others who have
kindly allowed the examination of their records and
papers and afforded the information they could gather
or possessed, the compiler returns his sincere thanks,
feeling sure that when all in present life have gone
Home, the then reader of these pages will bless the
memory of all who in any way lent their aid in pre-
paring the manuscript.

The project of establishing colonies of French
Protestants in America, was advocated as early as
the middle of the sixteenth century. Spain foremost
in discovery and exploration of the New World, was
now nearly without a rival upon its continents and
waters. The vast empires of Mexico and Peru had
fallen an easy prey to her captains; and the riches
which this conquest poured into the royal treasury
enabled Charles the Fifth to carry on the wars which
especially humiliated France. The plan for weakening
her inveterate foe by planting settlements along the
American shore thus contesting the sovereignty of the
New World with Spain was openly advocated by the
illustrious Gaspard de Coligny. But there was an-
other reason perhaps more potent, that prompted him,
he was preparing to be the fearless champion of
religious freedom and the rights of conscience that
12 The Lasher Genealogy
he proved himself ever after. At this moment, the
outlook for Protestantism in France was an anxious
one. The doctrines of the Reformation proclaimed
by Luther had soon spread into the neighboring ter-
ritory of France, and made converts among the
learned and titled as well as among the common
people. The king, Francis the First, himself professed
a desire to see the abuses of the church corrected.
Motives of state policy prompted Francis to seek an
alliance with the Protestant princes of Germany and
to conciliate the Lutherans among his own subjects.
But it was not long before, influenced by other con-
siderations, he forsook the cause of moderation upon
which he had entered, and acknowleged himself the
inplacable foe of the Reformation. Parliamentary
enactments pronounced the profession of the new
doctrines a crime, to be punished with death; and
execution for heresy became frequent throughout the
kingdom. The last years of Francis I. were stained
by the massacre of the Protestant inhabitants of
twenty-two towns and villages and by the burning at
the stake of fourteen members of the newly organized
Church of Meaux. Under his son, Henry II., the
laws aimed at heresy became increasingly severe.
The Lasher Genealogy 13
From this time on the story of the persecution of the
Protestants in France — the intrigues of the Jesuits
— that body of religious diplomats to whom "the end
Justifies the means" was all in all, wholly sanctioned
and upheld by the Roman Catholic Church — we have
a story of devastation, bloodshed and dishonor —
all in the name of God — wholly uni)aralled in the
history of the world.
It was from this horrible persecution that fully
one-fourth of the population of France sought safety
by flight to other lands and there is hardly a civilized
country in the world in which the descendants of
these Frenchmen cannot be found.
Coming down to 1656-59, after a period of compar-
ative quiet through the early years of the reign of
Louis XIV., the tolerant course adopted by the gov-
ernment gave displeasure to the Church of Rome ;
and soon the King, yielding to their persuasions,
entered upon a reactionary course, which was to cul-
minate in the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and
in the suppression of the Protestant faith in France
by interdicting the national Synods, the last of which
was held in November, 1659.
It was in these distressful days that Francois Le
14 The Lasher Genealogy
Seur came to New Amsterdam ; he arrived April 10th,
1657, soon afterwards settling at New Harlem, where
with twenty other freeholders in response to a petition
signed by them addressed to the governer and council
of New Netherlands, they were permitted to buy a
tract of land adjoining the "Great Kill" or Harlem
River, on which ground was broken for the new town,
August, 14th, 1658, and was named New Harlem by
request of Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch Governor.
Francois, with several others, became dissatisfied soon
afterwards, owing to excessive taxation by the Dutch
and went to Esopus, near the present Kingston, N. Y.
It was here and at New Hurley, a near-by town, where
he served as a soldier in Capt. Pawling' s Company, in
defense against the Indians. He was at Kingston, N.
Y., as a soldier, when the little town was invested for
three weeks by a band of several hundred Indians ;
after a year of terror, known as the Esopus War,
peace was concluded with the Indian tribes, July 14th,
1660.
Francois Le Seur was born in Challe, or Colmenil,
in Normandy, a small borough or market town three
miles south of Dieppe. His name, taking such forms
as Leseur, Lesier, Lagear, and Logier, was well estab-
^
The Lasher Genealogy 15
lished in Caux, and a century previous had figured
among the cloth makers of Rouen. Francois and his
sister came over together, neither being married.
["LeSeur was a French Huguenot and one of those
who emigrated to Virginia, and it is probable that
those who settled in New York — Solomon and others
^came up from there." — Va. Hist. Soc, Feb. 1886.].
As to whether he was a brother of Solomon La
Chair, a well known lawyer in those days and con-
spicuous for accurate records left by him, it is inter-
esting to read : " Solomon La Chair, or another of that
ilk, lived in the Esopus, or the region around the
present Kingston, Ulster County, N. Y. , having gone
there after the New Netherlands became New York
City and province — I believe the name Lasher is an
adaptation, by way of Holland, of the French name
La Chair." " That so many Lashers are found in Ger-
mantown, Columbia County, and also in Ulster County,
is easily accounted for by the fact that Solomon, and
others with their children, went to Kingston, for it
was in those places, and their vicinity, that their
children raised their families."
The record of Francois Le Seur's marriage is in the
Dutch Reformed Church, New York, which reads as
l6 The Lasher Genealogy
follows : "Francois Lejere Van Scalmeny by Dieppe,
in Franckryk, en jannetge Hillebrants, Van Amster-
dam, July 12, 1659." Translated, reads as follows:
Francois Lejere from Scalmeny, near Dieppe, in
France, married Jannet Hillebrants from Amsterdam,
Holland, July 12, 1659.
The marriage record of Francois is that he married
Jannet Hillebrants, which means, Jannet the daughter
of Hillebrant— she was, in fact, the daughter of Hil-
lebrand Paterson, of Amsterdam, Holland.
His sister, Jannet LaSeur, married Cornelius A.
Viervant, of Utrecht, Oct. 28, 1668, and took up their
residence in New Harlem, N. Y. Francois resided for
a time in New Harlem and was living in Kingston, N.
Y., before his marriage ; immediately after the cere-
mony returned there with his wife, and it was there
they made their home. From Kingston, the children
of Francois moved and made their homes and raised
their families in the settlements of Ulster and sur-
rounding counties. One of these children, John, re-
sided in the vicinity of West Camp, N. Y., settled by
the Palatines in 1709-10.
Here, John was brought in intimate contact with
the Germans, and the families speedily intermarried ;
The Lasher Genealogy i^
in a generation or two, all the peculiarities of
language, dress and habit of the Frenchman had dis-
appeared and the German customs and influences
dominated, nothing was left save the name and this
was spelled in many ways. In the Kingston, New
York and other records, kept by the early churches,
the name is variously spelled : Langer, Langier,
Langigar, Langeer, Legier, Lachair, Lessier, Lachier,
Lesser, Lescier, Lesier, Lasier, Lescher, Leisier, Lisier,
Lashier, Liesier, Lasier, Leshier, Lusier, Luzier,
Lazier, Lezier, Lizier, Lissier, Lazhier, Loejeer, Logier,
Leysier, Lezear, Leycher, Lisser, Litzert, Lygher,
Lycher, Laejaer, Lescherin, Loescher, Loscher, Lasser,
Leyer, LeChaire.
In the records, edited by Fernow for New York
City, the name is spelled La Scheer and La Chair.
There seems to have been no recorded signature of
any of the names in the Hudson River settlements
until Dec. 30th, 1701, when John's name, signed to a
petition is spelled Jno. Lashair. Again in a petition
to Lord Cornbury, Oct. 2nd, 1702, as a resident of
Ulster County, it is spelled Jan. Losir. At about
this time the other family of Lashers, who were of
German descent, are recorded under the name Lasch-
i8 The Lasher Genealogy
erin and Loescher and the other spellings above noted,
but in a generation or two the families were so merged
that they were all known as of one name with its mul-
titudenous spellings until 1721 ; when the name was
universally pronounced, and in this year first spelled,
Lasher. Up to this time, and for many years after-
wards, Domines and every one else who had the
keeping of records as part of their official duties,
spelled the name phonetically, or Just as it sounded
when spoken before them ; in many church records
the same Domine spelled it in many different ways.
Francois anglicized is Francis — thus we have living
at Kingston, N. Y., in 1659, Francis Lasher, born 1625
a French Hugenot " Who fled from the storms in his
own country to find quiet in ours." He was a strong,
resourceful man ; in the wilderness making a home ;
fighting as a soldier in the Indian Wars ; all the while
providing well for his family and inculcating the
moral precepts as taught by the Church.
His descendants have proved themselves worthy ;
we have found them intensely loyal to the Colonial
government and still more loyal to the cause of liberty
as upholders of the Revolution.
Francois was by profession a Civil Engineer, at
The Lasher Genealogy 19
which profession he worked as opportunity offered,
but like all the other settlers of those days he follow-
ed farming for a livelihood, indeed there was little
else to do.
He came from a distinguished family in Normandy
as evidenced by the Historical Records and family
Coat-of-Arms reproduced in this book. His brother
was Eustace Le Seur, the celebrated painter, born in
1617, and his grand-nephew was Jean F. Le Seur, the
comi)oser, born in 1763 ; the attainments and brilliant
achievements of some of the present generation show
marked characteristics of their honored ancestors.

26 The Lasher Genealogy
In connection with the record of John Edmund
Lasher it may be said that the lives of successful men
whose influence moulds the events of life by subduing
adversity, and shaping toward their personal good
each condition as it confronts them is always interest-
ing and instructive; but it becomes more so when
such lives present in combined view the elements of
material success, blended with the completeness of
moral attribute and the attractions of an unblemished
reputation. Such characters stand out as the proofs
of human progress, the illustrations of human dignity
and worth, and as beacon lights to the generations
which follow. The success of such a man is not, as
some would consider, fortuitous; it is not the result of
a chain of fortunate accidents; it is the logical result
of a nature into which are infused the characteristics
of a strong will, keen perception and indomitable
energy, which utilized, have made their possessor a
successful man.
Mr. Lasher passed his boyhood days amidst the
surroundings of a rural home. His father, though a
man of limited means, was a highly respected member
of the community, and one of the leading agricul-
turists of the country. Here our subject passed an
The Lasher Genealogy 27
uneventful boyhood, availing himself of every oppor-
tunity for schooling during the winter months at the
district school.
At the age of twenty-one, Mr. Lasher went to
Saugerties, N. Y., and accepted a position as clerk in
a store, a few months later he went to Coxsackie,
N.Y., and became associated with his brother who was
already in business there. Here he remained five
years, and although the monotony may have been
irksome, and the remuneration small, still the eX'
perience was salutary, by familiarizing him with the
routine of general business and a practical insight
into commercial life. He was a close observer, quick
to grasp opportunities afforded him to study human
character as exemplified in the different individuals
with whom he came in contact, and there is little
doubt that the lessons learned at that country store
were invaluable in moulding the future character of
the man, and in giving him habits of method and
organization, which qualified him in an eminent de-
gree for the arduous and extensive operations in
which he was destined to become engaged. In fact
Mr. Lasher looked back upon that experience as one
of the most profitable periods of his life. In 1853 he
28 The Lasher Genealogy
engaged in the general merchandise business at Cox-
sackie having formed a partnership with Alfred Pal-
mer for that purpose, which business continued until
Jan. 1, 1857, when Mr. Lasher became a member of the
firm of Shultis and Lasher of Saugerties. He retired
from this firm Jan. 1, 1862, at which time he formed
a partnership under the name of Russell and Lasher,
this being dissolved by mutual consent Jan. 1, 1867,
Mr. Lasher retiring. During these years his extensive
dealings with the Hudson River Railroad Company
had brought him into contact with the ofllcials of the
road, with whom he had become personally acquainted
and intimate. In 1867 he entered into a contract to
supply a large bill of bridge and dimension timber for
this Company and on the 25th of February started
for Florida; arriving there he visited the lumber
regions and then went on a similar trip through the
lumber regions of Georgia. This even more favorably
impressed him with the business. The lumber he had
contracted to supply was delivered as per contract.
His next contract was with W. H. Vanderbilt for
175,000 pine ties, which were the first Southern pine
railroad ties introduced in the North. From this time
on he devoted his attention solely to this business,
The Lasher Genealogy 29
handling from thirty to thirty-five million feet of ties
and timber annually.
Mr, Lasher always found time to devote to the
general welfare of the community in which he lived,
and he gave liberally of his time and means towards
public and charitable enterprises. He gave a mag-
nificent pipe organ to the Reformed Church, of which
he was a consistent member and elder for many years.
He presented a fine bell to the First Baptist Church of
his town, and a similar one to the Methodist Church
of Bristol, New York.
During the latter years of his life Mr. Lasher was
an extensive traveller. He visited every state and
capitol city in the Union, except Dallas. He was a
thorough American and believed that within the
limits of his own country the scenery was as beautiful
and attractive as that in other lands.
He was an ardent Republican from the foundation
of that party until the day of his death — and though
many times importuned, would never accept public
office.
When the Ulster County Savings Institution had
become involved, a few of the public men of Kingston
were laboring zealously to avert a calamity by effecting
30 The Lashef Genealogy
a new organization of the bank upon a sound basis;
these gentlemen appealed to Mr. Lasher to serve as
one of the new board of officers. He could only accept
the position at a considerable sacrifice of time and
perhaps business loss, yet his interest in matters of
such public welfare to his County was so strong that
he accepted, and the new organization was successfully
accomplished and at the first meeting of the board of
directors he was elected vice-president, a position he
held continuously until his retirement, due to failing
health. He also served for many years as a director
of the First National Bank of Saugerties. He spent
the sunset of his years in his pleasant home at Saug-
erties-on-Hudson, surrounded by the comforts and
luxuries of a competence. His success was due to his
own personal efforts and untiring industry, while
honor and integrity were his guiding stars. In his
death he was sincerely mourned by all. To his
descendants he left the priceless heritage of a good
name.

Gillespy of Saugerties, 1882.
Mary M. Gillespy is a daughter of Jason Gillespy
The Lasher Genealogy 33
and his wife Mary Von Vredenburg, Jason was a
son of Capt. John Gillespy, b. 1773 at Saugerties and
bnried there, d. 1852, and his wife Lavinia Myers.
Capt John was a son of Major John Gillespy, b. 1741;
d. Jan. o, 1810, and his wife Rachel Smedes, b. 1742;
d. 1825. Major John was the son of John Gillespy
who was of the old Scotch family of this name, well
known in the north of Scotland.
Mary Von Vredenburg, wife of Jason Gillespy was
a descendant of William Von Vredenburg who came
to New Amsterdam in 1658 in the ship "Gilded
Beaver." He was a soldier in the Dutch West India
Service, lived at fort "William Hendrick" in 1673,
and in the new fortification of New Orange. He
removed to Esopiis, now Kingston, N. Y., in 1667.
He married in New Amsterdam Oct. 19, 1674,
Appolonia Barents of New Netherland.
Among the business men of Saugerties no one
holds a more prominent place than Alfred P. Lasher
who is interested in many of the important enterprises
of Ulster County. He was born in Coxsackie, Greene
Co., from which place his father John Edmond
Lasher removed when he was but three years old.
His education was acquired in the public schools
34 The Lasher Genealogy
of Saugerties, which was supplemented by a course
of study at Glens Falls and Hudson Academies.
He has been a deep student of business methods in
which lines he has but few equals.
When he was eighteen years old, he entered the
employ of Burhans & Brainerd, remaining with them
as a clerk for one year when failing health compelled
a rest for six months.
He next engaged as shipping clerk with John
Maxwell at Maiden remaining there nearly two years.
In 1881, Mr. Lasher went south and was engaged
in shipping turpentine and yellow pine, familiarizing
himself thoroughly with the details of that business.
On his return he worked for his father for five years,
during which time he was thoroughly drilled in the
application of strict business methods
At the end of five years he was taken into partner-
ship and for many years thereafter assumed the man-
agement of the large operations in which the firm was
engaged; their business was furnishing yellow pine
lumber, ties and bridge lumber being their specialty.
The business was founded by the elder Mr. Lasher,
but the energy and ability of the son added much to
The Lasher Genealogy 35
the success of the firm, which enjoyed the full confi-
dence of all with whom they had dealings.
In politics, Mr. Lasher is a Republican and al-
though he never aspired to office holding, he was
prevailed upon to accept one term as Mayor of Sau-
gerties to which office he was elected to serve for the
year 1898. He was a member of the County Central
Committee for many years. He has been a member of
the Board of Education since its organization and has
been honored by election to its various offices; this
service has extended over a period of eleven years.
He is also one of the trustees of the Village Corpora-
tion. He is president of the Free Public Library of
Saugerties.
On the death of his father he succeeded him as a
director in the Ulster County Savings Bank of Kings-
ton which position he held for four years, at the
expiration of which time he felt that he should give
his entire time to the First National Bank of Sauger-
ties of which he has been a director for the past six
years. He has also been a director in the Saugerties
Savings Bank for the past four years.
Mr. Lasher has always been much interested in
36 The Lasher Genealogy
the Reformed Church of which at the present time
he is an Elder.
He is also a member of the Exempt Firemen of
Saugerties. Socially he belongs to a number of Fra-
ternities among them the Scottish Rights of the
Northern Jurisdiction of New York. He was made
a thirty-second Degree Mason, May 29, 1891; is a
member Mecca Temple of Shrines of New York City.
He is a man of energy, one who believes in making a
success of his life work and who so far has prospered
in whatever he has undertaken. He is a prominent
and much respected citizen in the community in
which he lives.

"the glory of children are their fathers.
"this shall be written for the generation to come."
"tell your children of it, and let your children
tell their children, and their children another
generation."
SEBASTIAN LOESCHER
No. 200 to No. 1745
The period from 1702-1727 marks an epoch in the
early German emigration. Between forty and sixty
thousand left their native country. The unparalled
ravages and desolations by the troops of Louis XIY
under Turenne were the stern prelude to bloody per-
secutions. To escape the dreadful sufferings awaiting
them, German and other protestants emigrated to the
English Colonies in America. In 1708 and 1709,
thirty-three thousand on an invitation of Queen Anne,
left their homes in the Rhine country for London,
where some twelve or fifteen thousand arrived in the
summer of 1708. Ten sails of vessels were freighted
with upwards of four thousand Germans for New
York. They departed on or about the 2oth of De-
cember, 1709, and after a six months tedious voyage
reached New York in June, 1710. On the inward
passage and immediately on landing it is estimated
seventeen hundred died. The survivors were en-
camped in tents they had brought with them from
.^8 The Lasher Genealogy
4
England, on Nutting, now Governors Island. Here
they remained till late in Autumn when about four-
teen hundred were removed one hundred miles up the
Hudson River where they formed two settlements,
one of these called East Camp, composed of four so-
called "villages" (Hunterstown, Queensburg, Anns-
burg and Hapsburg) was in the present town of Ger-
mantown, Columbia County, and the other called
West Camp, composed of three so-called "villages"
(Elizabethtown, Georgetown and Newtown) was in
the present town of Saugerties, Ulster County, but
originally under the jurisdiction of Albany County.
The widowed women, sickly men and orphan children
remained in New York. Those settled on Hudson
River were under indenture to serve Queen Anne as
grateful subjects, to manufacture tar and raise hemp
in order to repay their expenses of transportation,
and cost of subsistence, to the amount of ten thousand
pounds sterling, which had been advanced by Parlia-
mentary grant. A supply of naval stores from this
arrangement had been confidently anticipated. The
experiment proved a complete failure. There was
mismanagement. The Germans, being unjustly op-
pressed, became dissatisfied with their treatment, and
The Lasher Genealogy 49
with their situation. Gov. Hunter resorted to violent
measures to secure obedience to his demands. In this
too, he failed. One hundred and fifty families, to
escape the certainty of famishing, left late in the
Autumn of 1712 for Schoharie Valley, some sixty
miles northwest of Livingston Manor. After three
weeks travel through the unbroken forests, they
reached Schoharie. Here they remained some ten
years, when owing to some defect in their titles, they
were deprived of both lands and improvements. In
the Spring of 1723 thirty-three families removed and
settled in Pennsylvania, in Tulpehocken, some fifteen
miles west of Reading. A few years afterward others
followed them. The other dissatisfied Germans who
did not choose to follow their friends to Pennsylvania
sought for and found a future home on the frontiers
of Mohawk Valley. Timothy Dwight writing pre-
vious to 1822, says of the Germans of Germantown,
N. Y. "A small collection of them at Germantown
in the southwest corner of Columbia County have
been mentioned to me by authority which I cannot
dispute, as a very worthy and respectable body of
people, distinguished for their industry, good order,
sound morals and attachment to religion."
50 The Lasher Genealogy
Among the early settlers at West Camp, N. Y., we
find Sebastian Loesclier with his wife and children.
Some of the latter when of age crossed the Hudson
River to East Camp, now Germantown, N. Y., and
there raised their families.
As to the antecedents of Sebastian Lasher little is
known except that he was probably a German. It is
unknown from which part or place in Germany he
came ; there is no record yet discovered which would
show that he was a Palatine or was not a Palatine.
We know this simple fact in regard to him ; he was at
West Camp in 1710. That he came to West Camp
with his wife and several of his children is proven be-
yond question, for in the marriage record of his son
George in 1726 it is distinctly stated that he is the
son of Sebastian. George having been married in
1726, is of evidence that he was born previous to the
first settlement of the Palatines at West Camp.
It may be conceded by some and taken for granted
by others that he was a Palatine, but it is not proven.
There is no proof that he was a German. The fact
that he attended the German Lutheran Church or the
Dutch Reformed Church is no evidence, as the settlers
of all nations made one of these two churches the
The Lasher Genealogy 51
House of Worsliip for themselves and their children.
There are many in the family who believe that the first
Sebastian Lasher was a descendant of Solomon La
Chaire of New York, the lawyer practising there in
1645 to 1662, and given the Old German name of Se-
bastian because born and brought up in the midst of
Germans.
In substantiation of this belief there are many
theories. There are those who claim (and their claim
is entitled to more than a passing consideration) that
he was an older brother of John Lasher whose des-
cendants are given in the third part of this book.
This John having come with him to this country and
remaining in New York as an apprentice in the Cord-
wainer's trade. The fact that no land titles were
given to the early settlers at East and West Camp, is
of itself good reason, why no authentic record is now
to be had concerning the early life and possessions of
these people.
Subjected to desolating persecutions, the Luth-
erans in Germany and Huguenots in France, the cul-
tured and educated, as well as the poor who had had
no opportunities, were alike driven to seek new homes
in foreign lands. All indications point towards a
52 The Lasher Genealogy
higher state of advancement for Sebastian Lasher
than was usual amongst the immigrants.
The story of the Palatines is here-with given be-
cause the immediate descendants of Sebastian Lasher
took their wives and husbands from amongst these
people, and therefore there is probably not any of
this family but are connected with the early Palatine
settlers. Of Sebastian Lasher, the only positive re-
cord is the record of the birth of his daughter Maria
Elizabeth, and her baptism in the church at West
Camp in 1710, and in the record that he was willing
to stay at West Camp in 1724 if lands were surveyed
to him.
Under the heads of families mention is made in
but few instances, as to the occupation of these
people ; they are largely farmers and fruit growers of
the better class. The early settlers came from parts
of Germany which have been among the best culti-
vated portions of Euroj^e, and naturally took to farm-
ing. Other pursuits were followed, it is true, but the
prevailing pursuit was agriculture. In the classified
list of those who reached London during the great
German Exodus in 1709, more than 67 per cent were
farmers.
The Lasher Genealogy 53
Nine tenths of the Palatines who came to New
York during this Exodus left the city and went into
the country, and most of them took to farming. In
fact there was nothing else for them to get at for
many years. Even most of those who had mechanical
trades were compelled to take to farming because
there was not much of a demand for bakers, glass-
blowers, millers, engravers, and some other classes of
handicraftsmen. So it is with many of the descend-
ants of Sebastian Lasher— they are doing the farming
on their fertile acres— adjacent to their neighbors who
are nearly all descendants of the first farmer Palatine
immigrants. As a rule these people have attended
strictly to the business of farming and are well to do.
The occupation of land by the early settlers was
subject to a system known as Quit Rent, which was
a reserved rent in grant of land by the Proprietary—
by the payment of which the landholder was to be
freed from the other taxes.

When he was a child the parents of John E. Lash-
er moved to Woodstock, N. Y. At an early age he
was elected Justice of the Peace and Supervisor of the

This was one of the pioneer large hotels of the Cats-
kills and in its day was one of the most famous.
Mr. Lasher entertained many distinguished per-
sons; Greneral Grant, while President, was Mr. Lash-
er's guest for several days. After the destruction of
the Overlook Mountain House by fire in 1875, he re-
moved to Newburgh, N. Y., residing there for four
176 The Lasher Genealogy
years as proprietor of the Orange Hotel. In 1879, he
moved to Little Falls, N. Y., conducting both the
Girvan House and Metropolitan Hotel. In 1885, he
returned to Kingston, N. Y., and again became pro-
prietor of the Mansion House where he resided until
his death, Sept. 8th, 1899.
Mr. Lasher took an intense interest in politics, but
never was a candidate for office, although many times
a delegate to State Conventions of his Party; he was
a great admirer of Grover Cleveland and was a
delegate to the Democratic National Convention at
Chicago in 1892.
At the time of his death he was a vestryman of the

Andrew's Church, Harlem, N. Y. City. The Lasher
family as a whole may well be proud of this young
clergyman. Many a wayfarer on life's journey, sick
and aweary of the world, has sought him out, and
now restored in health and strength, live to call him
friend. Greater praise than this no man can have.

Company in 1738, gradually by merit alone working

panies of which were known as Fusileers, Artillery,

Grenadier and Light Infantry, each comiiany having
a special uniform of its own.
On Nov. 10, 1769, the King's birthday was cele-
brated by the usual grand display. "On this occasion
the Militia Company of Grenadiers were called out
and mustered at the house of Mr. John Marthal at the
North River, where they roasted an ox at their own
expense, drank jovially all the Loyal Toasts and con-
cluded the evening with exhibiting a variety of
curious fireworks." On the the 25 th of July, 1763,
the New York Gazette says of a celebration on Tues-
day last of His Majesty's proclamation for a general
peace between England, Spain and Portugal. "The
Militia was ordered out for the occasion, and the pro-
cession of the Lieut. -Governor with His Majesty's
Council, attended by all the principal gentlemen of
the place, preceded by the company of Grenadiers
(who made an excellent appearance)."
John Lasher was first Lieutenant in the above
company of Independent Grenadiers under command
of the Earl of Sterling, Capt., as shown by details for
guard duty in 1765.
In the beginning of May, 1775, Capt. John Lasher
and his Company march out seven miles to meet
222 The Lasher Genealogy
and escort the Eastern Delegates on their way to
Philadelphia ; on arrival of the delegates in New
York they were warmly welcomed by the citizens.
At a meeting of the Committee of Safety, Aug. 11,
1775, Col. Lasher's battalion is mentioned, on Sept.
14, 1775, he is requested to make a return of his
officers in order that they may be commissioned.
On Nov. 14, 1775, he was on the committee of sixty
for observation ; on May 1st, same year, he was elected
one of the Committee of Safety ; on April 26th, same
year, he is one of the signers for provincial Congress,
and on the 21st of Sept. signs an address to the Com-
mittee of Safety.
On Jan. 26, 1776, Col. Lasher signified to the Com-
mittee of Safety, that the battalion under his command
would in general be very desirous of being taken into
the public service and pay, and he was requested to
confer with his officers and report the result to the
committee. At a meeting of the officers of the first
battalion of New York Independent Militia, Jan. 29,
1776, Col. Lasher being President, the battalion voted
on the question of entering the service, and on Jan.
31, 1776, Col. Lasher delivered a memorandum of such
officers of his regiment as are willing to go into the
The Lasher Genealogy 223
Continental Service ; 32 having voted to serve. On
Feb. 11, 1776, Col. Lasher was ordered by the Com-
mittee to detail officers and men of his regiment to
escort Samuel Bayard, Jr., Esq., the Deputy Secretary
of the Colony, to the dwelling house of Nicholas Bay-
ard, Esq., Alderman of the Out Ward of the city.
Fred Rhinelander writing to Peter Van Schaak,
Feb. 23, 1776, says "We are going to raise a new bat-
talion. Col. Lasher and Governeur Morris are candi-
dates for the command; as both gentlemen have great
merit it is hard to tell which will succeed."
On Feb. 28, 1776, at a meeting of the Provincial
Congress, held in New York, the Hon. John Hancock,
Esq., President of the Continental Congress, nomin-
ated John Lasher as a Colonel in one of the four regi-
ments to be raised for the defence of the Colony.
Nicholas Bayard on March 4, 1776, requests the
Congress that the Grenadier Company of Col. Lasher's
Regiment having behaved so prudently as a guard at
his house where the colonial records are kept, may be
continued, and not be replaced by some other company;
this guard consisted of 48 men divided into details of
twelve men each ; each detail serving 24 hours.
On May 29, 1776, Col. Lasher and his officers
224 The Lasher Genealogy
handed in their accounts for services, in pursuance of
an order of the Provincial Congress, dated March 14,
1776. They were ordered paid same as Continental
officers and soldiers. On July 17, 1777, Col. Lasher
had charge of the stores of powder and lead belonging
to the Continentals, as on this day the Congress orders
him to deliver 100 pounds of powder and 300 weight
of lead to Col. John Harper for use of the Rangers to
be raised under his command, and on Aug. 13, 1777,
he was ordered to deliver 100 small arms and accoutre-
ments to Col. Graham.
John Lasher was a prisoner. May 11, 1778, in the
old Provost Jail, New York City, as a member of
Major Goutches' Rangers ; he was soon exchanged.
During the War of the Revolution, he superin-
tended and his regiment built what has since been
known as the Bayard Hill Battery, N. Y., this Battery
was built where the present Grand and Mulberry Sts.
intersect ; Col. Lasher and his regiment were thanked
by Washington in General Orders.
Colonel John Lasher lived on the Battery, New
York City, and appears to have been a man of some
wealth, as at the fire Sept. 12, 1776, four houses be-
longing to him were burned. He built two houses in
The Lasher Genealogy 225
1780 opposite the mansion built for the President's
residence, as shown in a picture in "Early New York
Houses." In 1806, his son John B. sold the corner
house for 89,400.00; the other for $8,800.00. After
the Revolutionary War he was a merchant in the
wholesale grocery business. He was appointed first
Surveyor of the Port of New York when the custom
house was established, Nov. 18, 1784. From his early
manhood, he took a great interest in local affairs.
On March 18, 1776, in a petition to the King by the
prominent Presbyterians of New York City, he ap-
pears as one of them. On August 20, 1770, he, with
others, applied for a charter of incorporation for the

pounds when he was born, but was always strong,
vigorous and free from sickness. He is iDurely Ameri-
can in his descent on every line and unites in himself
many strains distinguished in the early days of the
Republic. The Kent line traces its descent back to
Thomas Kent who came to America and settled with
his wife at Gloucester, Mass., prior to 1634. (See
Kent Genealogy^ page 159.) In the Kent line are
found the names of the Rev. Elisha Kent, who gradu-
ated from Yale College in 1729, and married Abigail,
daughter of the Rev. Joseph Moss. Elisha Kent was
a distinguished Presbyterian Divine. His son, Moss
Kent, who married Hannah Rogers, daughter of Dr.
Uriah Rogers, was the father of James Kent, Chancel-
lor of the State of New York, and author of KenVs
Commentaries on American Law. He was the great-
great grandfather of Richard Kent. Through his
paternal great grandmother, Richard Kent is de-
scended from Caleb S. Riggs, a celebrated chancery
lawyer of New Jersey early in the Nineteenth Century.
On his father's mother's side, Richard Kent's grand-
mother was the daughter of Edwin Clark who married
Sarah Irving, the niece of Washington Irving.
The Clark line is also very old and is identified
242 The Lasher Genealogy
with New York history to the very earliest date, as
Edwin Clark was the direct descendant of Alexander
Clark who married Femmetje Van Borsum at the
Reformed Dutch Church in New York City, Jan. 13,
1714. Femmetje Van Borsum was the daughter of
Hermanns Van Borsum, who was the eldest son of
Egbert Van Borsum who married Annetje Hendricks,
Dec. 11, 1639, at New Amsterdam (New York). The
record of this marriage shows it to be the earliest
church marriage that was performed in the Dutch
Colony. It was celebrated by the Rev. Everadus
Bogardus and the entry is thus recorded:
" Dec. 11, 1639, Egbert Van Borsum j. m. van Emb-
den en Annetje Hendricks j. d. van Amsterdam."
On his mother's side, Richard Kent is also de-
scended from the elder branch of the Lorillard family,
who some time prior to the Revolution, came to New
York and entered into business and became very suc-
cessful merchants. He can also through his great
grandmother, Catharine A. Griswold, who married
Peter Lorillard, trace his descent to the direct line of
New England Griswold s.
