Descendants of Simon and Christina Vought

On the 28th day of April, 1708, a small band of Lutherans
with the Rev. Joshua Kockerthal at their head, having left the
lower Palatinate in Germany, journeyed to England and pre-
sented to Queen Anne a petition showing that they had lost
all their property at the time of the ravages committed by the
French, and that they were in absolute want, and requesting
that they might be transferred to her Majesty's colonies in
America. They presented to the Queen testimonials which
they brought, duly authenticated by the magistrates of the
several towns in which they resided, showing that they were
of good character; and they made such a favorable impression
that Queen Anne granted their request and they were accord-
ingly sent to America in the year 1708.

On June 13, 17 10, a second immigration of Palatines arrived
at New York in the ship Lyon, which brought also General
Robert Hunter, the new governor of New York and New Jersey.
A large number of the immigrants died on the way over, and
many were sick and disabled when they arrived here, owing to
the poor food furnished them and the crowded condition of
the ships. The authorities of the City of New York, fearing
danger from infection if they were landed in the city, ordered
that the immigrants should be landed on Governors Island,
and directed that three doctors from the city should visit
them, and that huts should be built for their accommodation.

Among these German immigrants were Simon Vought and
Christina, his wife, from whom the members of the Vought
family in America are descended. In the official list of the
Palatines who came in this second immigration, appears the
name "Simon Vogdt," and it was stated that he was then
thirty years of age, and his wife twenty-six.

In 1 7 10, a large tract of land on the Hudson River, near
Newburgh, was bought by Governor Hunter from Robert
Livingston and there in October of that year most of the
Palatines were settled. A few of them remained behind at
New York City, and afterwards settled in New Jersey and
elsewhere.

Simon Vought and his wife were among those that re-
mained behind in New York. It is probable that he stayed in
New York City until the spring of 171 1, when most of the
remaining Palatines left the city.

Simon Vought settled in Western New Jersey in either
Middlesex or Hunterdon County.

I. Simon' Vought was b. in Germany in the year 1680; he
m. there previous to 17 10 his wife Christina, who was b. in

1684. When he and his wife arrived in this country in 17 10
they were unaccompanied by any children; probably their
only children were those whose baptisms are recorded below.
Simon Vought was alive as late as 1749. In that year he
joined with seventy-seven other members of the Lutheran
Church in Western New Jersey in a call to the Rev. John Albert
Weygand. The names signed to the call are mostly German,
and the signatures are written as a rule in German, though
some are written partly in German and partly in English,
while a few are entirely in English. Among the latter is
Simon Vought's who wrote his name "Simon Vogt." In the
baptismal record of his children, made by the Rev. Justus
Falkner, Lutheran minister at New York, his name always
appears as " Vocht."

Children of Simon' and Christina Vought:

SECOND GENERATION

2. John Christopher" Vought (Simon'), was b. in New Jer-
sey, Feb. 24, 1 7 14. He m. Cornelia Putnam (the widow of
Ralph Traphagen and daughter of David Putnam or Pootman.)
John Christopher Vought resided in 1735 on the West Jersey
Society's land in Hunterdon County. Among his neighbors
at that time was Roeliff Traphagen, whose widow John Chris-
topher Vought afterwards married. Cornelia Putnam was b.
March 23, 1 7 1 1, and bap. in the Dutch Church at Freehold, April
29, 171 1. After the death of her first husband and before 1750,
Cornelia m. John Christopher Vought. Although bap. "John
Christopher" he was known as "Christopher," and the name
John does not appear to have been generally used by him. It
seems to have been a custom with these German families to
give to several of their children the same first Christian name,
the middle name only being different, and the child was then
known by the middle name only. This is no doubt the ex-
planation of the fact why John Christopher Vought was called
sometimes "John Christopher" and sometimes "Christopher."

Descendants of Simon and Christina Vought 5

In 1759 Christopher Vought bought from the executor of
James Alexander a farm of 285 acres in Lebanon Township,
Hunterdon Co., N. J., for;^7i2, io.f. Here he built a large
stone house, barn and other buildings. His son bought a farm
adjoining this in 1773.

At the breaking out of the Revolution, he with his son
John took the side of the British, becoming staunch loyalists.
He and his son John were at one time put in gaol and fined for
their loyalist activities, and in December, 1776, they joined the
British troops as the army under Sir William Howe marched
to Trenton. Christopher lived on Staten Island during the
war. After the surrender of Cornwallis he and his family were
forced to go to Nova Scotia, where in 1783, they settled at a
place called Parrsborough. He lived there with his son John
until the year 1792, when they all returned to New York and
settled at Duanesburgh, N. Y., on a part of a large tract of land
containing 2,000 acres, which he bought of John Leake, May
19, 1770.

Family tradition says that he received a grant of a large
tract of land in Canada, the present site of the City of Toronto,
and his son a pension of 365 crowns a year from the British
government.

Family tradition does not always agree with the facts as
reference to the record in regard to this matter discloses.

A Commission of Enquiry into the Losses and Services of the
American Loyalists, held under the Acts of Parliament of 23,
25, 26, 28 & 29, of George III., preserved amongst the Audit
Office Records in the Public Record Office of England, shows
that Christopher Vought and his son John made a claim for
their losses and services during the American Revolution
which was passed upon and partially allowed.

In a volume entitled American Loyalists, Audit Office
Transcripts, Volume 28, Determinations in Nova Scotia, etc.

Evidence on the claim of Christopher and John
Vought, late of Hunterdon County in the Province of
New Jersey.

Christopher Vought, the father, sworn:

Memorial read.

Says he is a native of America and at the commencement
of the troubles he lived in Lebanon Township, Hunterdon
County, on his own property.

He never took part with the Americans, but was imprisoned
by them for opposing them, and three more of his family were
likewise put in gaol and kept there for five days. They gave
_^2oo security to appear. They were afterwards tried for and
fined £100 for which they gave bond. Soon after they joined
the British Troops, and he has resided on Staten Island all the
War, and came here at the Evacuation. He now resides at
Parsborough.

His son John joined the army with him and was soon after
appointed a captain in Colonel Lawrence's Battalion, New
Jersey Volunteers.

Property 285 Acres with a large stone house, barn and

No. J outhouses in Hunterdon County. Deed produced

dated in 1759 from Mary Alexander, Executrix to
the will of James Alexander to claimant, conveys
285 acres as above in consideration of ;^7i2.io
currency.

After he bought it he improved it and built the
house, thinks the house was worth ^500. The land
and house he thinks were worth ^2,000 currency.
He had paid for it and there was no incumbrance
on it.

No. 2 203 Acres adjoining the last, both No. i and 2 in

possession of his son. The claimant was old and
unable to cultivate them. Deed produced ist
August, 1775, from John Stevens and James Parker,
conveys 203 acres Society Lands in consideration of
^^407, Proclamation money, which sum he paid.

His son was in possession of it some time before
the War. He was offered ^100 for his bargain.

He had made considerable improvements on it.
Thinks it was worth ;£,!, p. acre.

Property 2,000 Acres in Albany County, New York

No, 3 Province. Deed produced from John Leake to

Claimant dated 19th May, 1770, in consideration of
^600, New York currency. Conveys 2,000 acres as

Quit Rent.

This wild uncultivated land he bought as a pro-
vision for his children and grandchildren. He

Descendants of Simon and Christina Vought 9

settled two tenants on it, 20 years free. They had
cleared some little. He values it at ^^2,000 New
York Currency.

All the stock, furniture, &c. were lost when they
joined the army.

John Vought, sworn:

He is son to Christopher Vought. He is the only son and
the only child; he had a sister who died in child bed leaving
one son George Young. The father George Young resides in
the States.

His father and he joined the British Troops in 1776 at New
Brunswick.

Before that he had signed an Association and attended the
training of the Militia, and says he durst not declare his senti-
ments.

The Company he belonged to were turned out to be drafted
to serve in the Militia, when to a man, they refused to turn out.

After this he was ill used, as they blamed him and Captain
Lee for the Company not serving.

He resisted and raised men, and returned the ill usage.
He was obliged to fly, but in consequence of the oppression
his father met with, he delivered himself up when he was ptit
in gaol for some days, was tried and fined ^100 currency.

In December following he joined the British Army with
85 inhabitants of Hunterdon County. He soon after had a
Company given to him in the New Jersey Brigade and was En
Second in 1778. He now enjoys half pay and resides at Pars-
borough.

Produces Commission of Lieutenant from Sir William
Howe, December, 1776, and of Captain from Sir Henry Clinton,
July, 1778.

No. J There was a good house on it, the land was under

good cultivation, 165 acres were in tillage, 25 acres of
meadow, and the rest timber.

He thinks that the 285 acres with the houses and
buildings would have sold for ^7 currency p. acre.

No. 2 203 Acres adjoining was his property. He pur-

chased in the fall of 1773, he did not get his title
until the ist August 1775. Says he had paid the
whole price many months before he got his title.

He had cleared about ten acres, thinks it was
worth ;^4 p. acre in 1776. There were several acres
cleared besides the ten improved.

No. 3 He was on it with his father in 1770. He settled

three tenants on it. They were to sit free 10 years
and to pay ^10 p. annum afterwards.

Produced a lease to that purpose. He values
this at ;^2,ooo currency. Thinks he could have sold
it for _;^2,ooo.

and made three sales of goods and chattels.

William Dr.a.ke, witness sworn:

Says in the course of last year he rode past the property
late Christopher and John Vought and understood that it was
sold under confiscation and in possession of the purchaser."

There were several lawsuits as to the land at Duanesburgh.
This land was part of what was known as " Braines Patent."
It was part of a larger tract of land bought of the Indians in
the year 1733, by Walter Butler. It was patented by the
Province of New York to Thomas Braine, of Queens County,
N. Y., Feb. 24, 1752, and sold by his executor, Jacob Banks, to
John Leake, Sept. i, 1768, and by him sold May 19, 1770, to
John Christopher Vought. After Christopher Vought bought
this land he went in the year 1770 with his son John and
settled two or three tenants upon it, who were to have the use
of the land for ten years free and after that at the rent of ^10
per annum. A dispute arose as to the boundary line between
the Vought tract and land which had been granted to James
Duane. An ejectment suit was brought by Christopher and
John Vought against a man named Wood. This case was
decided in May, 1805, in the Voughts' favor, and the Court held
that the boundary of the Voughts' land on the West ran to the
Van Rensselaer Manor line. The case is reported in 3 Caines
Cases, page n8.

THIRD GENERATION

3. John ' Vought (John Christopher,' Simon ' ), was b. Aug.
6, 1750, in Essex Co., N. J. He m. Nov. 22, 1772 (M. L. Sec'y
of State, N. J., Nov. 21, 1772), Mary Grandin, b. March 10,
1755, of Hunterdon Co., N. J., dau. of Philip Grandin and
Eleanor Foreman. The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Mr. Frasier, an Episcopal clergyman.

John Vought was a farmer, lived at Clinton, Hunterdon Co.,
N. J., in the stone house built about 1760 by his father, and
occupied in 1895 by James Painter. In the fall of 1773, he
bought a farm of 203 acres adjoining his father's farm, for
which he paid ^407, and received a deed Aug. i, 1775, and
which he had partly cleared at the commencement of the
Revolution. When the Revolution broke out he sided with
the English, and raised a company of volunteers. He belonged
to Capt. Lee's Company of Militia which refused to turn out
when they were ordered to be drafted. It was supposed to be
largely owing to his influence that the company refused to
obey orders, and he became unpopular with the Americans.
He was imprisoned and fined. He joined the British Armj' at
New Brunswick in December, 1776, and received a commission
as lieutenant from Sir William Howe, and in July, 1778, he
received his commission from Sir Henry Clinton as captain in
the Second Battalion of New Jersey Volunteers, commanded
by Col. Lawrence. He served throughout the whole war. He
was at one time during the war living on Staten Island, where
his wife joined him in 1777, and where his son Christophor, b.
May 2, 1783, was baptised in St. Andrews Episcopal Church on
June 2, 1783, as appears by the Church records where the name
is misspelled as follows: "C/tristopker Vokc, son John Voke,
Capt., and Mary his wife!' He was a man of the greatest up-
rightness and honor. An interesting story about him is told
in Clute's History of Staten Island, to the effect that he was
billeted upon a farm in the vicinity of Richmond for some two
or three months, and unlike many of the other officers he reg-
ularly paid for his board and lodging. The farmer came to him
one day and said his house had been entered and he had been
robbed; that he suspected some of the British soldiers from a
button he had found. The captain took the button which
indicated the company and regiment of the soldier. During
the parade that day he noticed a soldier with a button missing

12 Descendants of Simon and Christina Vought

from the front of his coat. He told the colonel and the soldier
being sent for was after various questions accused of taking
the money. Taken by surprise, the soldier admitted the theft
and gave up the ten guineas, and Capt. Vought had the satis-
faction of returning the money to the farmer within twenty-
four hours after it was stolen.

After the war John Vought took his father, mother and his
family to Parrsborough, Nova Scotia, where he remained until
1792. On May 8, 1797, they all embarked in a schooner for the
United States, reaching New York May 31, and Duanesburgh
June 13. A diary of the trip was kept by Christiana, Capt.
Vought's eldest daughter, then nineteen years old. The diary,
which is interesting enough to be given in full, is still pre-
served in the family of John Bogert of Albany, N. Y., the son
of Christiana Vought. It has the following endorsement:
"iT/y Mother's Joiirjial on her Voyage from Nova Scotia to
Duanesbiirgh."

John Vought d. at Duanesburgh, Sept. 7, 1803, in his fifty-
fourth year, leaving his wife and eight children surviving him.
His will is dated Sept. 4, 1802, and a codicil thereto is dated
Sept. 5, 1803. It was proved Nov. 10, 1803, and is to be found
in Liber 3 of Wills, p. 76, Albany County Surrogate's Office.
He leaves to his son Philip lot No. 3 of his farm, containing
250 acres; to his son Christopher, lot No. i, 250 acres; to his
son John, lot No. 4, and 10 acres out of lot No. 2; to his son
Abraham, lot No. 2. He directs his executors to sell his
lands in Nova Scotia.

Mary Grandin Vought, his wife, d. March 29, 1831, in her
seventy-sixth year, and is buried at Duanesburgh, N. Y.

Descendants of Simon and Christina Vought 13

Christiana' Vought (John Christopher,' Simon"), was b.
-, 1752; m. 1772, Rev. John Young, a Lutheran Clergyman

of Hunterdon Co., N. J. In the testimony given by Capt.
John Vought for compensation for losses in the Revolution he
says his brother-in-law's name was George Young. This must
have been the mistake of the clerk who transcribed the testi-
mony. Christiana Young d. at Hagerstown, Md., two weeks
after the birth of her son George in May, 1773. In an old
Dutch Bible, printed at Amsterdam in 1736, by Peter and
Jacob Keur, the entry of her death and of the birth of her son
are given as follows:

"Christiana Young dep (the page is torn) day of May

in the year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and
seventy-three."

" George Young was born the twenty-third day of April in
the year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and seventy-
three."

This bible belonged to Mrs. C. H. Porter who bequeathed it
to her nephew William Grandin Vought, of Buffalo, N. Y., in
whose possession it now is.

After the death of Christiana Young her husband m. again
and had a family, one son of his afterwards becoming a Judge
in Ohio. The Rev. John Young was in 1783 settled in Wash-
ington Co., Md., at a place called Conecoheague. In a letter
from the Rev. H. M. Machlenberg to the Rev. Dr. Freyling-
hausen of the University of Halle, Germany, dated Dec. 6, 1782,
it is stated that " Rev. Young in Maryland is a man who labors
with industry and fidelity and faithfully discharges his duties
both in life and doctrine."

Christiana Vought and John Young had but one child:

11 i. George,' b. in Hagerstown, Md., April 23, 1773; m.

Nancy Waldron; d. Aug., 1844.

Tuesday Early in the Morning Capt. Bogart Went to his
J2th June Father's (Who lives in the City) and Brought his
Brother Garet on board to introduce him to our
family. After Compliments were Past and we sat
Down, " Mrs. Vought ", said he, " shall we have you
& Family to dine with us to Day". "I thank you
sir", said Mamah, " our Family is very large." " No
Matter for that we shall be hapy to wait on them ".
— Just as we were finishing breakfast Came in Mr.
Gurst and with A Mr. Wright, Who after they were
set down and welcom,d us to Albany said he \yas
Come to invite Mamah and Family to dine with him.
" I am much obliged to you sir, I am engaged to Mr.
Bogarts." "Well Madam to Tea then". "No", said
Garet Bogart, "where they dine they must Drink
Tea"; accordingly we went with Capt. B. to his
Fathers; we met the old lady (his Mother) on the
Porch Who Conducted us in a well furnished room
then turn.d about "your welcom here" said she —
Now Comes in Miss Bogart (Sister to Capt. B.)
" Miss Vought you are welcome here I hope you will
make this as your home". "I thank you Madam",
said I; "you have had a long Passage"; "Yes, but A
very agreeable one, Miss Bogart ". So the Conver-
sation turn,d Now in Comes Garet B. "I am

hapy to see you here Ladys I wish you not to Make
Strange ". Mamah returned the Compliment; When
diner was ready we were bid in, Garet and Miss B.
did the honours of the table; their Parents is old
People wich I expect is the reason they take this on
themselves— After Tea Miss Bogart Took My sister
& I thro the Most Capital Streets of the City.
When we returned Mr. Garet asked us if we would
not walk up to the Springs (this is a Spring about
3 quarters of Mile out of Town where many walks
about Sun set and after). "I have no objection" was
the General answere; accordingly we went and saw
A Number of People there Drinking of this Very
Cold Water— We all sup.d at Mr. Bogarts and then
returned to the Sloop where we Lodged.

Wednesday At Eleven o'clock we left Albany, at 2 o'clock din,d
J3th June 7 mile from Albany, at 9 in the evening we arrived
on Voughts Patton our Place of residence. C. V.
