 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 
 Amsterdam, in New Netherlandt, Therincques, Wawapehack, Saghkins, 
 Kogkhennigh, Bomokan, Memiwokan, Sames, Wewenatokwee, for them-

 and Indian witnesses : The aforesaid Indians do acknowledge to have

 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

 In connection with the above deed it is proper to insert a cer- 
 tificate of Governor Stuyvesant and his secretary : 
 
 " 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- 
 ings and place them in the village or town of Bergen, or by or about 
 the neighborhood of Gemoenepan before named. Conditioned, how-

 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 
 request of Governor Franklin, ratified by the Six Nations at a conference held at 
 Fort Stanwix (Rome), October 24, 1768. -Col. Hist, of X. Y.. viii. 112.

 ever, that the aforesaid owners, (in case they should desire the same), 
 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.

 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.

 as collected within the fortifications at Communipaw. The land 
 within the town plot was laid out into building plots by Jacques 
 Cortelyou, Town Surveyor, and numbered on the map. The 
 land surrounding the town was laid out into larger lots, for garden 
 or farm purposes, and also numbered on a map. The land out- 
 side of the town plot was known as JBiiyten Twjn — i. e., outside 
 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,

 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-

 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

 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 
 place called Mordanis Meadow, lying upon the West side of Hudson's 
 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 
 Corporation of Bergen, is bounded at the North end by a tract of Land 
 belonging to Capt" Nicho. Verlett and Mr. Samuel Edsall. On the 
 East side, by Hudson's river, on the South end by the Kill van Cull, that 
 parts Staten Island and the Maine, and on the West side by Arthur Cull 
 Bay and Hackinsack river, as it is more plainer demonstrated by a 
 draught thereof made by the Surveyor-General, hereunto annexed. The 
 whole, both of upland and Meadows, and Waist land containing accord-

 " 2ndly. That all the Freeholders of said Corporation or Towneship 
 are hereby jointly and severally obliged to pay or Cause to be paid to the 
 said Lords Proprietors, their heirs and Successors, or to their Receivers-

 ing to the English Accompt, the sum of Fifteen Pounds Sterling, of good 
 and Lawful money of England, or the Value thereof, in good and Cur- 
 rent pay of the Country, as a quit-rent due to them for the whole said 
 tract of Land above mentioned, in heu of the ^d. Pr. acre mentioned 
 in the concessions, which payment is to begin on the 25th day of March,

 that all Pattents for land herebefore Granted, or to be Granted within 
 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 :

 River till it comes into Mordavis Meadow, properly belonging to the juris- 
 diction of the said Town and Corporation of Bergen. And he, the said 
 Governour tv: Council, by the Charter and Grant aforementioned, did 
 give and grant unto the said Freeholders and Inhabitants of the said 
 Town and Corporation of Bergen divers and sundry liberties, powers, 
 franchises, privilidges and Immunities, and particularly that the Free- 
 holders, or the major part of them, sho'd have power to divide propor-

 already appropriated and patended by particular persons before the day

 pieces and parcells of the common and undivided Lands Lying and 
 being within the said Township and Corporation of Bergen without any 
 Warrant, power, or authority for so doing, and without the Consent of 
 the major part of the Freeholders of the said Township for that purpose 
 first had and obtained, and have used and enjoyed the same with their 
 patented Lands by means whereof it is not known how much of the 
 said Commons have been taken in by the said Freeholders, nor can the 
 same be found out or Discovered without a particular Survey of such 
 patents to which said Common Lands have been taken in & added to, 
 wherefore the said parties have agreed as followeth : 
 
 KmpVttl^t^* ^t is agreed by and between all & every the parties

 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 
 
LAND TITLES. 19 
 
 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. 
 
 iSt It ti)trfforC Cnactetr By his Excellency the Governor, the 
 Council and General Assembly of this Colony, And it is hereby Enacted 
 by the Authority of the same That Jacob Spicer of Cape May, Charles

 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. 
 
 Note 3. — The rod spoken of in the Notes to the Field Book is 
 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-

 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

 And each of them took an Oath to the following Purport, — That, 
 they and each of them would execute and perform the Trust and Ser- 
 vices required of them severally by the said Act fairly and impartially 
 according to the Directions thereof, and the best of their Skill and 
 Judgment. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my Hand * the *2

 These are to certify that on the Seventh Day of March one thousand 
 seven hundred and sixty-four personally appeared before me John Ber-

 ing the several Rights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands of the 
 Township of Bergen, and for making a Partition thereof in just and

 Commissioners to be entitled to the same," 
 
 And took An Oath, that, he would execute and perform the Trust 
 and Services required by the said Act fairly and impartialy according 
 
 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-

 talion Middlesex Militia ; but resigned in order to devote himself to the duties of 
 " 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 :

 Was the youngest sou of Charles Cliuton, one of the Commissioners for dividing the 
 Common Lands. He was born in Ulster Co. (Little Britain), N. Y., July, 26, 1739, 
 died at Washington, April 20, 1812. He joined his father in the expedition against 
 Fort Frontenac, in tlie French war. He was a lawyer, and was elected to the 
 Colonial Assembly in 1768. Here he soon became head of the Whigs. He was elected 
 to the Continental Congress in 1775, voted for the Declaration of Independence, was 
 appointed Brigadier-General in 1777, and in the same year, at the first election under 
 the Constitution of N. Y., was chosen both Governor and Lieutenant-Governor. He 
 held tiie office for eighteen years, being chosen at six si;cce«isive elections. He was 
 energetic, and rendered his country great service during the revolution. In 1788 he 
 was President of the State Convention to consider the Fedei-al Constitution, to the 
 adoption of which he was opposed, not deeming it sufficiently decided in favor of the 
 sovereignty of each State. In 1792, at Washington's second election. Clinton received 
 fifty votes for the Vice-presidency. In 1 601 he was again elected Governor, and in 
 1804 Vice-president of the United States. In 1808 lie received six electoral votes for 
 Piesident, in opposition to Madison, but was continued as Vice-president. By his

 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.

 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."

 thousand six hundred and sixty three and confirm' d by 
 Patent from PhiHp Carteret to said Nicholas Varlett dated 
 the twelfth Day of May one thousand six hundred sixty 
 eight.

 ■"■ 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.

 9,1757, gave it to his son William. William Bayard went to the British during 
 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 
 out of the Common Pleas of Bergen, directed to Cornelius Haring, Agent of For- 
 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 
 Map of the New City Hoboken," made by Charles Loss. Stevens bought from John 
 Dey 30 acres of meadow, Feb. 4, 1792, and 10 acres June 5, 1795. This was lot 133. 
 Vide Note to Van Purmerenfs Patent p. 7. He sold to Samuel Swartwout 327 
 acres of meadow, April 15, 1814. This Swartwout mortgaged to John G. Coster, 
 Dec. 6, 1827. The mortgage was foreclosed, decree dated July 15, 1840, and 
 Robert Van Arsdale, Master's deed, dated Oct. 24, 1840, to John G. Coster, who 
 died seized, Aug. 8, 1844. His will dated April 9, 1842, proved in New York Sept. 
 6, 1844 ; in Hudson County, March 23, 1849. 
 
 * Gov. Stuyvesant gave to Van Vorst a " lot at Ahasimus S. W. of the wagon 
 road," April 5, 1664. — Land Papers (Albany) H. H. 136. This was his home lot, 
 and the Patent therefor was destroyed by fire. Carteret's patent adds to the original 
 grant, and describes the two lots :

 This propei'ty was inherited by his only son Cornelius. By the will of Cornelius 
 3d, dated June 13, 1733, proved Aug. 15, 1753, his son Cornelius 4th, received all 
 his real estate. From him it passed to his son Cornelius 5th, known as "Faddy."

 * 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 
 on N. W. side. 
 
 Lot Xo. 1.33, lying " between Haassemus and Hoboocken," S. of a small creek, in 
 size 30x180 rods=25 morgens ; the four lots containing, as per patent, 45 acres. 
 
 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 
 along with other lands, vide Xote to Van Ostrum's Patent, p. 63, and Xote to Lot 
 240, p. 78, these four tracts, three of wliich, 4, 7 and 8, were then said to contain 25

 Carteret confirmed this patent for "all of a neck of land, heretofore granted unto 
 him by the Dutch Governor Kieft, lying and being on the West side of Hudson River, 
 and called by the Dutch Powlus Houck, separated from Aharsirausby a small creek 
 to have and to hold the said neck of land and meadow," &c., «Sz;c., " as of the manner 
 of East Greenwich in free and common socage." The patentee married Maria Koss, 
 widow, daughter of Guleyn Vigne. His children were Abir/ail^ wife of Adrian Van 
 Laer, Gehyn, Catelyn, wife of David Pietersen Schuyler, Isaac, Susanna, wife of Marten 
 Ya,nVf&Qvi, Jacomyntje, Ariantje, Hillegond and Isaac. Planck died about 1680. The 
 Hook remained in the possession of his family until 4ug. 2, 1699, when John Abeel, 
 Attorney in fact of Planck's heirs, conveyed it to Cornelius Van Vorst. This deed is 
 now in the possession of John Van Vorst. It has never been recorded. It was proved 
 before Rynier Van Giesen, " one of his Majesties Judges," May 30, 1754. It was signed 
 in presence of Brandt Schuyler and William Huddleston. The place remained in pos- 
 session of the Van Vorst family until Maich 26, 1804. Tide Note to Tan Vorst' s Patent, 
 p. 6. Then Cornelius Van Vorst sold it to Anthony Dey for an annuity of " Six thou- 
 sand Spanish milled Dollars." This annuity was given in his will to his son John, who 
 assigned it to Richard Varick, March 12, 1824. By him it was assigned to the Associates 
 Nov. 18, 1830. Dey conveyed the tract to Abraham Varick, April 18, 1804 ; and he to 
 Richard Varick, Jacob Radcliff and Anthony Day, April 20, 1804. They mapped 
 out the place and entitled the Map "A Map of that part of the town of Jersey com- 
 monly called Powles Hook." " The Associates of the Jersey Company" were incor- 
 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.

 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

 " ''A lot of Meadow N. of the upland Hahasetnes, butting on the W. sideof Com- 
 niiinipaw Creek, N. and E. side by a small creek, =4 morgens, 288 rods." Tliis was 
 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 
 of it during his lifetime. Vide Note to Varlet's Patent, p. 62. 
 
 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

 Its N. extremity was " where the Mill of Hossemus stands," afterwards known as 
 "Prioi-'s Mill;" and the house lot refei-red to was S. of Communipaw avenue and 
 fronting the river. It was afterwards owned by the Brinkerhofl's. Vide Hartnians 
 lat Patent, p. 11. This is a part of the tract given to Jan Evertse Bout by the 
 Dutch West India Company, and by him sold to the patentee prior to 1657 ; for on 
 Jan. 23, 1657, Cos pledged it as security for the suppoi-t of his daughter by his first 
 wife, " to teach her reading «fe writing, sewing «& some trade & give her 200 florins out 
 of her mother's estate." Cos paid to Bout 1,444 guilders for the tract. By a survey made 
 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- 
 dren, and at his death his property went to Maritje, his only child by his first wife, 
 Neeltje Engels. ^«?n<y'c married Gerbrand Claesen, the founder of the Garrabrants

 By will dated Jan. 7, 1714, proved Feb. 3, 1715, she gave this tract to her sons 
 Cornelius and Myndert ; Coinelius taking all east of a line not far from Pine street, 
 and Myndert all lying west of that line. We will first trace the share of Cornelius. 
 
 Cornelius, by will dated Feb. 13, 1767, proved March 4, 1774, gave all his lands 
 to his son Cornelius, who, by will dated April 16, 1814, gave this tract to liis sons 
 Cornelius and Peter. Cornelius took the N. part, bounded S. by the narrow meadow 
 extending from the present engine-house of the Central Railroad Company, W. to 
 about Pine street. Peter took that part lying between saiJ meadow and Communi- 
 paw avenue. 
 
 Peter sold llj acres to Garret Van Home, March 20, 1822, bounded N.W. by 
 Myndert Garrabrants, N.E. and S.E. by Cornelius Garrabrants, S.W. by Communi-

 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 
 Keenney and John R. Halladay. The balance of Peter's lands (except the house lot 
 on the shore) he sold to his brother Cornelius and John Van Home, June 8, 1821. 
 These grantees resold to Peter. He sold 16 76-100 acres lying N. of Communipaw

 and Myndert. To his two daughters he gave the land between Van Home street and 
 the Mill Road and Brinkerhoff's land, and N. of Communipaw avenue. This deed 
 was dated June 10, 1805. The grantees partitioned; Van Home getting that portion 
 lying between Van Home street and the lane leading to the zinc works, and Vreeland 
 all between that lane and the old mill road and Brinkerhoff's land. The deed of 
 June 10, 1805, extended the boundaries N. of Communipaw avenue, a sufficient dis- 
 tance to include 30 acres. On a division of the lands between John G. and Myn-

 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.

 And from said Stone runs along the Road or Highway North thirty one

 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

 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 
 Garretson, Aug. 16, 1849. Waldron sold C to Cornelius Gar- 
 rabrant. May 23,1769, who, by will dated April 16, 1814, proved 
 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, 
 wife of Henry Van Home, Ann, wife of Jacob D. Van Winkle (who sold to Daniel 
 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 
 P, Q, R, S, T. They partitioned, June 1, 1332 ; Garret taking P, R, T, and Nicho- 
 las taking Q, S. 
 
 Michael Cornelise Vreeland sold M to John Vreeland (son of Helmus), June 8, 
 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- 
 terest Peter Stuy vesant had therein I do not know, but whatever it was he quit-claimed 
 it to Waldron, Oct. 31, 1803. Waldron sold C to John E. Post, May 11, 1813. 
 
 James Collerd died seized, Aug. 11, 1791. By will dated Nov. 27, 1790, proved

 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

 Island Right-Coakkuss. Stephen died Aug. 31, 1865. His interest ii this tract he 
 had previously given to his sons Nicholas S. and Stephen B. The balance of his 
 lands he conveyed to Mandet Van Home June 25, 1858, in trust to be divided in 
 accordance with his will previously executed. He executed another will Oct. 8, 
 1860. Controversies ai'ose among his heirs after his death, and compromise was 
 effected March 27, 1866. 
 
 Johannis received b}' the following description : The N. side is divided from the

 which Garret R. Vreeland now lives, where the Central R R. crosses the Morris 
 Canal. The tract was inherited by Cornelius's son Michael, who owned it in 1764. 
 From him it went to his younger son Johannis. He by deed, Dec. 18, 1795, gave to 
 his son Michael the west half of his farm = 40 acres, and on April 25, 1820, gave 
 him the whole of it, with all his land at Raekpokus and the salt meadow belonging

 Stony Point," or Kichard Vreeland's line on the S. He sold the S. half of his share 
 to Capt. George W. Howe, and it is yet held hy his heirs. He gave to his son Mi- 
 chael J. 12J acres, boundtd N. by Myrtle Ave., who sold to Samuel Bostwick in 
 March, 1859. 
 
 * Seickan or Sycan was a soldier in the service of the company, and for insolence 
 was sentenced to be shot, Feb. 21, 1647. He afterwards was pardoned and became 
 a farmer, and lived in N. Y. in 1C64 ; was admitted to the rights of a small burgher, 
 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- 
 ville), extending 100 Dutch rods up into the woods (to Ocean Ave.), and 300 rods 
 along the river ^ 50 morgens ; 2d, a lot adjoining on the W. N. W. and N. E. to tlie 
 creek still coming from the swamp and emptying into the Morris Canal by Enoch 
 Michielse's Stony Point = 15 1-6 moi-gens. Dirck Straatmaker was the owner of 
 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- 
 verted to the Dutch West India Compan3^ It was given by Gov. Stuyvesant to 
 Diick Sycan, June 16, 1654. He sold it to Enoch Micbielse Vreeland, Feb. 13, 1679, 
 for 4,900 guilders. There must have been some claim, however, set up by the heirs 
 of Dirck Straatmaker, for on March 18, 1()98, Vr-eeland obtained from Jan Dircksen 
 Straatmaker, the son of Dirck, a quit-claim of all bis iirterest in the tract, for £20. 
 The tract was known by the Indian name Kojacksick or Istyoyisich, to which some- 
 limes was added '" alias Pemhrepogb." 
 
 Vreeland, by will dated April 12, 171"', proved April 9, 1720, gave the tract to his

 same, bounded S. W. by Andries Van Buskirk and up to near " Stoon Pint," while 
 to her sons EUas and Banjamin she gave 320 acres on the Ra.ritan River, June 13, 
 1731. George's will, dated May 4, 1793, proved Aug. 14, 179'), he gave to liis son 
 John the S. W. half of the tract = 149 acres 3 roods 33 perches, which John after- 
 wards by will gave to his nephew. Col. Jacob, son of Garret, by whom it was in part 
 sold to the New York Bay Cemetery Company. He also conveyed the old homestead 
 E. of the Canal to B3njaraln H. Broomhed, April 16,1849. After several transfers 
 the same came to Geo. W. Howe, by four deeds, in Oct. and Nov., 1854. Howe con- 
 veyed the S. corner to Clement D. Hancox, Dec. 1, 1860 and July 7, 1863 ; he to Jo- 
 seph W. Hancox, Jan 11, 18d6 ; he to Elizabeth G , wife of John N. Harriman, Aug. 
 25, 1868. Garret received the N. E. half of the tract = 165 acres 2 roods 33 perches. 
 By will Garret gave to his son Jacob that part which lies S. of Woodlawn Ave.; the 
 balance he gave to his sons George and Richard. 
 
 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 
 Carstensen the Norman (sometimes called Van Sant) after Jansen's death, received a

 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.

 Lis sons George and liichard, who held in common until they sold to Samuel C. Nelson. 
 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 
 patent lying S. of Linden Ave (owned by Capt. BroAvn) and 30 acres of meadow held 
 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 
 sold by John Blauvelt, Sheritf, to his mother, Elizabeth Gautier, Feb. 27, 1829. She 
 sold to George Vieeland Aug. 19, 1829, all lying E. of the old road. Vreeland con- 
 veyed as follows : to John Sjths, 22 84-100 acres Jan. 2, 1837, bounded N. by Chest- 
 nut Ave. E.by the Plank road, S. by Linden Ave. and W. by old Bergen road. That 
 part of this tract which lies between Danforth and Linden Avenues, Syms conveyed 
 to Matthew Armstrong, Jime 25, 1838, (Armstong died seized and his executors sold 
 in lots at public auction in 1868) S3'ms sold a small part of his purchase lying N. of 
 Danforth Ave. March 7, 1850 to Heniy Eosencamp (now owned by Thomas Musgi-ove) 
 and a small lot^ to] Gilbert C.Smith. The residue Syms conveyed to Nicholas D. 
 Danforth, Oct 6, 1855. Danforth mortgaged ; the mortgages were foreclosed, the

 between the Bergen Point plank road and the E. line of the Railroad and Chestnut 
 Ave. and Edwin J. Brown's line, except a small strip owned by the heirs of Henry 
 Vreeland. The R R. Company mapped out this tract. They sold, July 15, 1866, to 
 Harriet M. Winfield, eight lots on the S. E. Corner of Danforth Ave. and the plank 
 road, and to Charles H. Winfield, June 10, 1887, eight lots on the N. E. corner of 
 Linden Ave. and the plank road. The remainder of the land (except the right of

 of John Wauters and Dennis McCarron, (Lessee). A ten acre tract lying next N. of 
 Post, Mrs. Gautier conveyed to Ephraim Morris, who conveyed to Andrew Van Home, 
 Feb. 6, 1834. He died seized, leaving Jacob G., David L., John A. and Dorcas, ^vife 
 of James Kells. His executors, Henry R. Welsh and David L. Van Home conveyed 
 to these heir.s, Dec. 31, 1859, who, on the same day, conveyed to Nelson B. Pearsall 
 about 8 acres. Pearsall mapped, Aug. 5, 1864, and on Sept. 20, 1864, conveyed to 
 George W. Dilloway six lots. David L. Van Home owns the N. E. corner of the

 « There is an error in the name of the patentee as here given. It should be Lubert 
 Gysbertsen. The explanation may, however, be found in the tact that Gilbert is the

 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.

 ■~" This tract was originally granted to Jan Cornelissen Buys. — Laiid Papers 
 (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

 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-

 Patent, p 10. His interest in the tract was sold by Nicholas Bayard at Public Auc- 
 tion in N. Y., Sept. 22, 1670, to Samuel Edsall for 4G20 Guilders, wampum value. 
 Edsall sold to Jan Van der Linden a piece of meadow lying between the Hook and 
 Bergen Point. This I take to be the piece of meadow adjoining the upland S. of the 
 Constable's Hook road. Vide Note to Slott's Patent, p 17. It was owned by the Cad-

 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 
 the partition.

 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 
 office. James' will was dated July 14, 1854, proved Sept. 4, 1856. Vide Note to Lots 
 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. 
 
 RoelofVan Houten and Maritje ux, sold. May 2, 1745, to Cornelius Brinkerhofl'a 
 part of this Patent, = 19 acres, 1 rood, 16 rods of upland, and 9^ acres of meadow, 
 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 
 of Helmigh Van Houten, died before her father.

 * At what time Steinmets came to this country does not appear. In the spring of 
 1652, having lost liis first wife, he married Jaiinekin Gerrits, ofZutphen, probably 
 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 
 1655. He went to New Amsterdam, where, on Feb. 22, 1656, he was licensed to tap

 So far I as have discovered tlie patentee died seized. By his will dated Oct. 16, 1700, 
 Phillip Frencli of London, tlien of New Brunswick, who had married his daughter, 
 Annetje, July 8, 1694, became the owner of all his lands in Bergen. French sold to 
 Ide Sip, June 4, 1752, a house lot in the town and a large out garden=15 acres. My 
 opinion is that the house lot referred to was lot No. 151 on the N. W. corner of Bergen 
 Square, whjgh the Sips afterwards sold to the church, by whom it is now oAvned.

 Steenhuysen died seized, leaving a widow and three sons, "viz. : Stephen, Joost.^ and 
 Pieter. By his will, dated Dec. 13, 1677, proved April 9, 1678, Claas and Jan 
 Arentse Toers were named executors with power to sell. In his lifetime the patentee 
 had sold a house and planter's lot == \^ lots to Laurent Arentse Toers, who sold the 
 same to Jacob Jacobsen Van Winckel, who sold to Jan A. Sip. This sale was con- 
 firmed to Sip by the executors, May 22, 1711. It lay adjacent to the lot sold to Sip 
 by Van Voorst, 7^x17^ rods. Frederick Thomase sold to Hendrick Sickles " land 
 in and about the town," Oct. 10, 1732. Whatever passed by this sale, I think, must 
 have been within this Patent. Sickles, by will, dated June, 22, 1776, proved May 12, 
 1783, gave to his sons, Derriek and John, all his lands. 
 
 Wander Diedericks bought, Dec. 16, 1710, of the executors of the patentee, 5 mor-

 widow's will was dated May 26, 1730; proved Jan. 9, 1744. His son, Arent, received 
 his property. The following facts relating to the Toers (or Tuers) family may assist 
 in tracing title to some of the lands owned by that family. Claes Arentse Toers m.

 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_McF arland 
 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.

 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.

 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.

 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,

 It is to be Observ'd, there is an Out-Garden in this Dutch Patent 
 (mark'd on our Map No. 94) which we have run out and survey'd for 
 Guert Coerten under his first Patent from Philip Carteret dated twelfth 
 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 
 must have purchased it of Teunise and got it confirm'd to him in his said 
 Patent from Carteret. 
 
 There is also a Lott of Upland and Meadow mentioned in this Dutch 
 Patent (mark'd on our Map No. 91) Which we have run out &: survey'd 
 for Guert Coerten under his first Patent from Philip Carteret dated 
 twelfth of May, One thousand six hundred and sixty eight, it appearing 
 most probable from the Description in both Patents to be the same Lot. 
 So, that (as well as the Out-Garden) Coerten must also have purchas'd 
 this Lot of Upland and Meadow of Teunise and got it confirm'd in his 
 said first Patent from Carteret. And this is the more probable, as we 
 cou'd find no other Place that wou'd suit the Description given of this 
 Lot, neither does Mr. Van Wagenen the present Owner and Possessor of 
 this Dutch Patent claim, or know anything of such Lot.

 * 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.

 thousand six hundred and sixty three. Confirm'd by Patent 
 from rhih'p Carteret to said Varlet and Bayard, dated the 
 thirtyeth Day of October One thousand six hundred and 
 sixty seven for a certain Plantation or Parcel of Land and 
 Meadow call'd Sekakus, lying in the Kill Van Cul.

 (mark'd on the Map No. 146).* 
 
 ** 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

 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 
 
 on the Map No. 169 * 
 
 '' 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 
 forts;" etc. O'Cal. \. X., ii, 532 But war between England and Holland having

 " 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

 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.

 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

 ["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- 
 ton, William Donaldson, Azariah Dunham, John Berrien, Abraham Clark jr, and

 charge thereof, which receipts when pioduced shall be sufficient to discharge them, 
 the said Trustees, and each of them, their, and each of their heirs, Executors and

 shall express to have been paid on account of the Subdivisions aforesaid. And we do

 of them shall do in, and about the premises, pursuant to the power and directions 
 above granted and prescribed, which shall be final and conclusive to us, and each of 
 us our and each of our successors, heirs, executors and administrators, any act, mat-

 Kuyper, and Helmigh Van Houte, Trustees aforesaid and subscribers in quality of 
 Freeholders, inhabitants & members of the said Township and corporation of Bergen, 
 having an interest in the said surplus money, do, on our part hereby agree as follows : 
 Firstly, that so much of the said surplus money shall be applied to defray the 
 charges of the said subdivisions of the said Common Lands as shall be sufficient for 
 that purpose. 
 
 Secondly, that we will punctually conform to the power and directions above 
 granted and prescribed by the other members of the Corporation aforesaid, and to 
 each of them will account and pay their several respective proportions of all the said 
 surplus money that shall remain in our hands (after our own reasonable demands and 
 the charges of making the Subdivisions aforesaid) shall be thereout fully paid and 
 discharged ; if any part of the said surplus shall then so remain in our hands, not 
 needed for the purposes aforesaid, and for the final ratification and true performance 
 of these presents, We. the said Freeholders, Inhabitants, and Members of the Said 
 Township and Corporation of Bergen (Trustees inclusive) have hereunto set our 
 hands the Eleventh day of December, seventeen hundred and sixty-four.

 23, 1839, to sell. This attorney sold to Peter Vreeland and Michael Zabriskie May 
 7, 1839, that portion of the lot lying S. of Third Street. This deed is defective, be- 
 cause it was not executed by him as attorney. This defect was cured by the heirs 
 giving a deed, Dec. 6, 1865. Vreeland sold his undivided half to Michael Zabriskie 
 Sept. 9, 1840, who sold to his son Albert M. Oct. 25, 1841. He mapped it in 1841, and

 in "Good Stay'" to Raphael Duplanty Jan. 24, 1806, who sold to Charles Cottinal 
 Feb. 7, 1807. By Cottinal's will, dated May, 1806, proved July 3, 1807, Anthony 
 Girard was named executor with power to sell. He sold " Good Stay " at public 
 auction to Elias Burger April 11, 1808. Burger, by will dated March 1, 1816, proved 
 March 17, 1827, gave the same to his daughter Maria, wife of James K. Mullany. 
 She died seized in 1830, leaving seven children, viz. : Mary B., Jane A., James R., 
 Elias B., Andrew J., John R. B., and Erena Arietta. By act of the Legislature, Jan. 
 20,1843, Mary B., James R., and Elias B. were authorized to sell the property. 
 They sold to David La Tourette April 30, 1845. On the same day the children 
 executed another deed to La Tourette, who died seized (will, dated Feb. 3, 1862, 
 proved Jan. 21, 1835), and his children now own what they have not sold.

 George Vreeland, who sold No. 11 to James R. Mullany May 1, 1821, taking a con- 
 sideration mortgage which was foreclosed and the lot sold by the sherift" to Albert M.

 7, 1814, proved July 30. 1814, gave the same to his daughters, Jane, wife of John Van 
 Home, and Lenah, wife of John G. Vreeland. Vide Note to Lot No. 417, p. 144. 
 These devisees with their husbands by joint deed conveyed the same to Michael Za- 
 briskie Aug. 13, 1822; who conveyed to his son, Albert M., Aug. 31, 1840. Michael's 
 ■wife, Jane, did not join in this deed, hence they executed another Oct. 22, 1844. 
 Albert M. Zabriskie conveyed it to Andrew D. Mellick April 26, 1854 ; Mellick to 
 George D. Phelps May 5, 1357. Henry B. Beaty, sheriff, on execution, sold Mellick's 
 interest in the lot to Abigail Ayres March 26, 1859, and Phelps conve^-ed to Ayres 
 June 28, 1860 ; Ayres to Charles A. Sherman July 2, 1830 ; Sherman to Andi-ew D.

 to Peter Samuel Du Pont de Nemours April 11, 1800 ; who sold to John Xavier 
 Bureaux Pusy May 11, 1802 ; who, by his attorney Peter Samuel Du Pont de Ne- 
 mours, sold to Victor Du Pont de Nemours May 11, 1802 ; who sold to Jasper Za- 
 briskie May 31, 1802. Zabriskie, by will without date, codicil dated Oct. 27, 1828, 
 proved Nov. 15, 1828, gave it to his son Michael for life, then to his lawful issue "by 
 any after marriage." On failure of such issue, then to the children of his grandson 
 Albert M. Under this will it came to the children of Albert M. His son Michael A. 
 sold one undivided eighth to Elizabeth D., wife of Andrew D. Mellick, Feb. 25, 1856.

 Brown, Hanson Carragan, and Jasper G. Cadmus, Commissioners, sold to Robert 
 Mackie Dec. 13, 1858. This last deed does not seem to have been satisfactory, hence 
 Albert M. Zabriskie, and his children, Margaret Ann, Jane A., Gertrude L., Albert A., 
 and Samuel S. (the last four infixnts), and Mellick deeded to Mackie. Mackie sold to

 Tuyl. Michael joined "the Army of the King," in January, 1779, his property was 
 confiscated, and his interest in these lots sold at public auction May 15, 1787. Cor- 
 nelius Haring, agent for forfeited estates, gave to Andrew Van Tuyl and George 
 Douglas, June 20, 1787, a deed for one-half of this lot, one-half of lot 18, on the Bay, 
 and l-36th of the Ferry lot. It seems that Michael had sold the Kill lot to Eich- 
 ard Vai-ick Sept. 12, 1774, and Varick's devisees, Abraham and Richard Varick, 
 sold the same to George Mclntyre, May 1, 1790.

 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.

 " This was a small triangular lot lying in the S. angle formed by the junction of 
 Bergen ave. and a short street through which the horse cars now pass from Bergen 
 ave. to Monticello ave. It was divided into three lots by the Trustees of Columbia 
 Academy, all fronting N. W. on Bergen ave. They sold Lot No. 1, June 6, 1810, to 
 Garret Van Winkle, bounded N. W. by Bergen ave., E. by Casparus Prior, S. W. by 
 Lot iVb. 2. This I take to be the N. part of the tract. 
 
 They also sold 12-lOOths of an acre to Eichard Van Kypen May 19, 1810, and 
 4 48-100 acres to Casparus Prior June 6, 1810, being Lot No. 2, bounded N. W. by 
 the road, N. E. by Lot No. 1, S. E. by Jacob Van Wagenen and Prior, and S. W. by 
 Brinkerhoff. They also sold to Prior 18-lOOths of an acre N. W. of the road March 
 9. 1814. Vide Map in Note to Varlet's Patent, p. 62. 
 
 t This lot lies E. of Bergen ave., and extends from Magnolia ave. on the S. 
 to about 100 feet N. of Prospect st. or Pavonia ave. 
 The trustees of Columbia Academy divided it into 
 three parcels. No. 1 they sold to Joseph Simonson. No. 2 
 they sold in two parcels, the N. half to Samuel Os- 
 born, April 4, 1808; the S. half to Richard Stager, on 
 the same date. These sales were confirmed by the 
 Legislature. Vide Laws of 1814, p. 202.

 '-■ 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.

 Hai-ingsold to Daniel Baldwin 
 Dec. 1, 1784. This tract in- 
 cludes Kings Point, or" High-

 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.

 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 
 Estate Company Feb 23, 1852. It was mapped in 1852; map filed March 15, 1855.

 On the same day De Mott resold it to Abraham Huyler ; who sold it to Jacob S. 
 Piatt Aug. 6, 1836. Of " Freemason's Island " Cornelius Huyler seems to have 
 died seized, and it w^as then divided into lots and, I believe, distributed among his 
 children. The 4^ acre lot was part of it. In this last deed was included 22 72-100 
 acres including the dock at Bulls Ferry; also 5 45-100 acres of Mordanis Meadow

 * Van Vorst died seized Sept. 30, 1818. By his will he gave to his son John one- 
 half of his property at Showhank and at Slonga, and to his grandson Cornelius the 
 other half. These devisees partitioned by deed Oct. 26, 1821. John took 40 acres 
 out of the E. part of the Slonga lot, and Cornelius received 27 18-100 acres. At 
 the same time they also partitioned the property at Showhank, which included Lots 
 Nos. 237, 238, and 239 (formerly of Kuyper). Cornelius received two lots ; one of 
 upland = 51 43-100 acres, the other of upland and meadow = 13 83-100 acres. 
 John received two lots ; one of upland = 51 43-100 acres, th(! other of upland and 
 meadow (on which was the Showhank Mill) = 13 83-100 acres. This mill stood at 
 the bottom of the ravine, a little N. of the Hoboken Road. It was destroyed by fire 
 in 1835. Cornelius sold to John 33 83-100 aci-es at Showhank June 5, 1824. 
 
 Of the E. end of this lot John died seized Jan. 30, 1832. The Commissioners in 
 partition sold to Dudley S. Gregory, Oct. 30, 1843, the Slonga lot. Vide Note to Van

 * This lot was adj udged to Pieter Merselis, p. 161. It was inheritea by Merselis 
 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 
 and Jacob Merselis May 26, 1807, who sold to Henry Van Glahn June 12, 1807. 
 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 
 Josiah Hornbiower. This half seems to have been sold to William Dally and others. 
 Dally sold to John Woolmington. I am not certain as to correctness of what is above 
 said concerning the S. W. half It seeius by Douglass' Map to have been in Mrs. Parks, 
 the daughter of John Merselis, in 1840. It is either on this half, or on the Church Lot 
 Xo. 176, that Glahnville now is.

 This is one of the FlELD-BOOKS 
 
 Of the Partition and Division of the Common Lands 
 
 Which have been allotted to each respective Patent or Grant within 
 the Bounds & Limits of the Township of IJptSCH — Made in pursuance oi 
 a Law of the Province of New Jersey in America, pass'd in the fourth 
 Year of the Reign of his present Majisty King George the third, — Entitled 
 " An Act appointing Commissioners for finally setling and determining 
 the several Rights, Titles and Claims to the Common Lands of the Town-

 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 
 to Maryn Adrianse, dated the eleventh Day of May one

 eighteenth Day of April one thousand six hundred and 
 seventy, being that Lot of Common Land which in the Field 
 Book & Map of the General Partition is distinguished by the 
 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 
 do therefore adjudge the said Allotment to belong to him.

 have been allotted To the Patent of Hobocken granted by 
 Petrus Stuyvesant to Nicholas Varlet dated the fifth Day of

 which in the Field Book & Map of the General Partition are

 been allotted To the Patent granted by Philip Carteret to Ide 
 Comeliese Van Vost dated the thirtieth Day of March one 
 thousand six hundred & sixty eight, being these two Lots of 
 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.

 which in the Field Book & Map of the General Partition is 
 distinguished by the Number 247. 
 
 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 
 adjudge the said Allotment to belong to them the said Michael & 
 George De Mott in equal moietys. 
 
 With Respect to the Lot of Common Land which has been 
 allotted To the Patent of Philip Carteret to Petrus Stuyvesant 
 dated the thirty first Day of July One thousand six hundred

 Do therefore adjudge the said Allotment to belong to him.

 the various Claims as the Opinion of sundry Council deliver'd on

 Mater being equally divided in Opinion, And therefore U)C do not 
 declare to whom or among whom the said Allotment of Common

 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-

 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 :

 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 ;

 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.

 lowing and thereupon Published in the New York Gazetteer Weekly, for

 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.

 dated July 7, 1789, and Nov. 15, 1794. Leake also conveyed to John Stevens, March

 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.

 " This creek (if such it could be called) took its rise in a spring near the Beacon 
 Race Course, and draining the surface between that point and the brow of the hill, 
 passed down on the north side of Newark Avenue to.the Mill Creek. It took its name 
 from the okl Tree yet standing on the top of the hill south of Prospect Avenue, known 
 among the old people as the '■ oude boom" or old Tree. The bridge in Newark Avenue 
 which spanned Mill Creek before it was filled in, was known as the " oude boom bridge." 
 As a stream the " val " long since became insignificant. As the table lands above were 
 improved and drainage attended to, the soil refused its tribute to the old creek, until 
 final]}-, in the year of grace 1871, having nothing left but its mighty niwne, of which 
 the present generation had not heard, and which they could not understand, it hid 
 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-

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

 This deed was signed by Tantaqua, Tamack, Anaren, Hanya-

 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

 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 
 the Right Honorable the Governor General and Council in New Nether- 
 land, appeared John Catlin, as well for himself as attorney for Edward 
 Ball, John Baldwin and Nathaniel Wheeler all inhabitants of the town of 
 New Worcke at Arthur Col, who in the presence of the undernamed 
 Councillors acknowledged and declared to be Avell and duly indebted 
 unto Peter Jacobse Marins,* merchant here in the City New Orange, his 
 heirs or descendants in a clear or net sum of Forty three pounds Steriing, 
 six shillings and eight pence, the pound being computed at forty guilders,

 cepted by the al30venamed Pieter Jacobse Marins for account of said 
 Appearers to be paid into the hands of Nicolas Bayard Vendue Master

 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.
