COMPILER’S PREFACE : 

The compiler having- a desire to perpetuate the memory of the 
Jdear old people, thought a collection of the Old Documents and 
^Family Records would best bring about such a result. 

- A Plistory has not been written for them ; but such as they 
. made for themselves has been brought into this work. 

There is little to be claimed as being original. The compiler 
-'"has endeavored to present the domestic customs and habits in a 
"^simple manner, in keeping with their lives and circumstances. 
.They appeared to be inconsistent in many things according to 
our ideas, but they lived up to the light they possessed, and we 
must judge them from that standpoint. 

They were a home loving people and lived very much to 
themselves or within the circle of the Dutch Settlement. They 
visited frequently their fellow church members and were very 
much devoted to their children and kept them under the family 
roof ; building additions to their houses when they married. 
The old saying : ** You could tell how many children were 

married by the number of extensions to the homestead ” was a 
true one. They were good and loyal citizens and loved their 
God and their country.

DOCUMENTARY PREFACE. 



Found in the Bible of Joseph Hegeman of Cedar Swamp. 

The following are the desired rules of this family: 

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Josh. 24. 1 5. 

We have no time given us to throw away, but to improve for 
Eternity. 

Therefore, we would join in no conversation that is unprofit- 
able; but in that which is good to the use of edifying ministering 
grace to the hearers. 

Therefore, we are not anxious for the news of the town, or to 
be informed of the business of others; but we desire to hear of 
the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God, whether in the 
government of His providence, or the reign of His grace. 
Neither have we anything to say of the misconduct of others. 

Therefore, let not the fault of any absent be mentioned, unless 
absolute necessity requires it; and then let it be with the greatest 
tenderness, without dwelling upon it, considering ourselves in 
;he flesh and liable to err, let us attend to the apostolic caution: 
“Let him which thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 
May God preserve us from a censorious spirit contrary to and 
unlike the mind which is in Christ Jesus. 

We offer the right hand of Fellowship to everyone that cometh 
in the name of the Lord; but we receive none to doubtful dis- 
putation; but whosoever loveth the Lord Jesus in sincerity, the 
same is onr brother, sister and mother, for we cannot but 
remember God is Love. 

We never intend to enter into religious disputes with anyone 
upon the principlas of mastery or vain glor) r ; but where there is a 
prospect of edification we hope by Grace to contend for the faith 
once delivered to the Saints, avoiding at the same time un- 
charitable censures, and in the spirit, leaving others to stand or 
fall to their own masters. 

We neither receive nor pay visits on the Lord's Day, for we and 
our house desire particularly on that day to serve the Lord; but 
as it is our duty to do good unto all men, to be hospitable and 










































' ' ■ 



careful to entertain strangers, we hope to discharge this duty 
equally alike on all days as Divine Providence calls us to it. 

We do earnestly desire everyone to reprove us faithfully when 
we deviate from any of these rules, promising at the same time 
to receive with gladness what is offered in love, knowing that 
he who hateth reproof is brutish. So shall we prove as guardian 
angels to each other, and manifest the natural result of Redeem- 
ing Love on souls acceptable to God through the Beloved. 
"And as many as walk according to these rules, peace be unto 
them." Gal. 6, 16.

A 

OF THE 

DUTCH CONGREGATION 

Of Ouster Bax, Queens County, 

ISLAND OF NASSAU. 

(Nov/ Long' Island.) 

H T an early period of the Reformation the Protestants on the 
Continent were divided into two bodies, the Lutheran 
and the Reformed. 

The latter became dominant in the Netherlands, where they 
maintained their religious liberties only after a long, costly and 
bloody struggle against the gigantic power of Philip II. during 
which they suffered all that men could suffer. No mode in 
which human beings have ever caused their fellow creatures to 
suffer was omitted from daily practice. Men, women and 
children, old and young, nobles and paupers, opulent burghers, 
hospital patients, lunatics, dead bodies, all were indiscriminately 
made to furnish food for the scaffold and the stake. Men were 
tortured, beheaded, hanged by the neck and by the legs, burned 
before slow fires, pinched to death with red hot tongs, broken upon 
the wheel, starved and flayed alive. Their skins, stripped from 
the living body, were stretched upon drums to be beaten in the 
march of their brethren to the gallows. The additional barbari- 
ties committed during the sack and rum of those blazing and 
starving cities aTe almost beyond belief . . . and whole 

populations were burned and hacked to pieces by soldiers in

every mode which cruelty in its wanton ingenuity could devise. 
Such was the administration of which Vargas (a noble Spaniard 
in high authority) affirmed that too much mercy had been its 
ruin. So calamitous was their condition during the eighty years 
war that they gave themselves the name of the Church under 
the Cross and their symbol was 

i 

“A Lily amidst Thorns.” : 

! 

In 1566 while war [was raging, the deputies of the churches 
met in Antwerp and framed the Belgic Confession, which con- 
tinues to this day, to be the doctrinal standard of the Reformed 
in Holland. 

A national synod was convened at Dort in 1618 which revised 
the Confession and Catechism and the Rules of Church Govern- 
men t. 

In 1609 Hendrick Hudson in the ship Half Moon arrived in 
the New Netherlands and landed on the “ Island of Manhattan.” 

The lower part of it consisted of wood crowned hills and 
beautiful grassy valleys, including a chain of swamps and 
marshes and a deep pond. The sole inhabitants were a tribe of 
dusky Indians, dwelling in the cluster of rude wigwams that 
dotted here and there the surface of the country. 

The rivers that girded the Island were yet unstirred by the 
keels of the ships of the white men, and the canoes of the Indian 
only, navigated their peaceful waters. A little settlement was 
made and in 1623 there arrived from Amsterdam thirty families 
and the town began to grow. 

Thus was introduced in this land the seeds of the Reformation. 
They brought with them their Bible and Catechism. 

In 1626 some thirty rudely constructed log houses had been 
erected along the shore of the rivers and these with a block 
house, a horse mill and the West India Company’s thatched 
stone building made up the beginning of the great city of New 
York. 

There came over with these early pioneers two persons called 
“Krank bezoekers or Zieken troasters ” (consolers of the sick) 
Sebastian Jansen Krol and jan Huyck, who, in the absence of a 
minister, gathered the people together and read to them selected

passages of the Scripture, suitably arranged for instruction and 
comfort. \ 

They held their religious meetings from 1623 in a spacious 
room in a loft over the horse mill, and continued to do so even 
after a church was organized in July 1628. 

The first settlement on Long Island seems to have been made 
about 1625. From a family record it appears that the first child 
of George Jansen De Rapelje was born at the Waale Boght that 
year. In that year the West India Company sent over here 103 
head of cattle. Fearing the cattle might be lost in the surround- 
ing forests the settlers landed them on Nutleir’s (Governor’s) 
Island. 

On June 4, 1638, Governor Van Twiller let George Rapelje 
have two cows for four years, then to be returned with half their 
increase, with the exception of a heifer, which the Governor 
consented to give to his (Rapelje’s) daughter Judith. 

This seems to have been a common mode of furnishing the 
settlers with stock. 

Cal Mss., 

To-day, date underwritten, appeared before me Cornells Dierck- 
sen, who acknowledged to have received from the Honble Wouter 
van Twiller, late Director of New Netherland, 22 old cabrieten 
(sup. Pigs) 8 young ones, 13 old goats, seven young ones and 
one he goat, all of which animals the affiant promises properly 
to take care of and to look after them, as if they were his own; 
for this trouble he shall have the milk from the goats and have 
the use of them until further ordered by said Van Twiller. For 
this, Corneiis Diercksen pledges his person and property, movable 
and immovable, nothing excepted, submitting to all laws in good 
faith. Thus done on the Island of Manhates this 24th of July 
1638, (provided that his son shall have the first two cabriente 
born, for his own.) 

By me Corneiis Diercksen Hoochlandt. 



The families of the Dutch congregation were mostly settled in 
Kings county, and those who emigrated the second time, or 
their children and grandchildren.

If the Hon. Andros had been better acquainted with the 
peculiar habits of his Dutch subjects, and had made an inspection 
of their Psalm Books and Bibles, he would have found consider- 
able to give an account of, as the Dutch kept the records of 
Births, Marriages and Deaths.

The question has often been asked, why did 


this people leave 



the western towns where they seemed to be very satisfactorily 
located and move out into what was thus early a comparative 
wilderness. So far the question has remained unanswered.

province twenty English, Scotch or Irish familys. But on the

contrary on Long; Island the people encrease soe fast that they 
complain for want of land and many remove from thence into the 
neighboring province, it being the best peopled place in this 
Gover’m't. ” 

1702, October 20. On account of the sickness in New York, 
by which 500 died in ten weeks, the Assembly adjourned to 
Jamaica till November 14th. (It was the yellow fever brought 
from St. Thomas.) 

Governor Cosby on December 6 , 1734, writes: “The main 

bent of our farmers is to raise wheat, and they are like to remain 
in that way until the price of it becomes so low that necessity 
puts upon some other way of cultivation. 

In this Collony are a great many lands extream fit for hemp, 
and there is not one farm in it but has land proper to raise flax ; 
but little more of either is raised than what is for private use. ’’ 

These are some of the causes that appear to influence a 
removal. 

The old story about the Dutch being sent or located to protect 
some boundary line does not seem to be established by the facts. 
Edmund Wright and Josias Latting were among the original 
purchasers from the Indians in Wolver Hollow and they were not 
Dutch. The Dutch were located on a line diagonally and nearly 
across the Town of Oyster Bay. Jericho on the south and Oyster 
Bay and Musqueto Cove on the north, and these places were not 
settled by Dutch unless they were like the lost tribes of Israel — 
vanished. 

Adrian Hegeman was probably one of the first settlers and he 
located on what is now called Dana’s Island, and Peter Monfoort 
was another who settled near Wolver Hollow. Even “ Nor- 
ridge ” was more English than Dutch. Th Bennett family 
were English but through many marriages into Dutch households 
were classed among the Dutch congregation. They were largely 
residents of the locality between Norridge and Poverty Hollow. 

Who were the Dutch who were sent out to prevent the English 
from “jumping their claim? ” So far there has been no names 
of Dutch people found who could be considered as such. 

From a careful study of the life and habits o f the Dutch 
congregation they are found to be a domestic people. They 
loved the quiet and peace of their own firesides. They were

slow to act, but sure. They were perhaps too much crowded in 
the places they left. They wanted to avoid all the disturbing 
influences surrounding them in their early homes. As old 
Anthonie Van Noostrant said in one of his letters : “ Daer 

Schint En groot Roumoer ” had a disturbing influence and they 
sought to avoid it. They wanted to smoke their pipes in peace 
and quietness.

(Translation.) 

In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1732, the 9th of 
September, the Protestant Dutch Congregation of Oyster Bay in 
Queens County, and the Island of Nassau in accordance with a 
previous agreement met at the residence of Jurian Haff to 
arrange for the building of a church or God’s house within the 
limits of the said village, and for the use of the said congre- 
gation according to the foregoing agreement. Adrian Hegeman, 
Jurian Haff, Jacob Van Noorstrant and Barent Van Wyck were 
chosen for overseers and builders of the said church. It was 
concluded that the seats in the said church when finished shall 
cost and stand to wit : the men's places at twenty-five shillings 
and the women’s places at twenty shillings, and that when any 
of the owners of the said seats shall remove out of the County, 
then the seat shall be carried over by the church Masters and 
within six months to any person of the congregation in the said 
County. 

And that those of the subscribers in the before written who 
shall in the least in default fall, shall fully of such seats their 
rights forfeit, and the same shall fall to the said church for the 
benefit and use of themselves. Further is concluded by the 
beforenamed congregation, that two persons shall be chosen for 
Church Masters for one year, and that at the end of each year 
one new one shall be chosen, and one of the before named going 
off. Further is concluded and appointed that after that the seats 
in the said church of even alike price shall stand, also for the 
choice of the same tickets shall be drawn. Further, the before 
named overseers of buildings are authorized to provide the 
necessary money to pay for and power is given them to take 
possession of the beforenamed church when it shall be finished. 
Further, so have the persons whose names hereon this paper 
stand promised well and truly to pay such sums of money as 
opposite their names had been signed, to the before named 
overseers or upon their order whenever it is demanded, for the 
aforesaid use to spend and not otherwise. In witness whereof 
and fully confirming the before subscribed did they thereon their

names fix or did set, with their particular promised sum of 
money. 

Therefore and now is it further to be understood that any 
repairs wanted on the said church, the cost shall be shared 
equally one each for his seat, and if any person unwilling is 
about paying, he shall his place loose and it shall fall to the 
said church.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



I 734. — den 25 April. Syn wy nederduytse gereformeer de 
gemeente in oysterbay vergadert in onse neuwee Kerck om 
Kercke Meesters te Kiesen, so Kiesen wy desen personen Peter 
Luister en Cornells hoogland tot Kercke meesters om de Sit 
Pltaese te regeren volgens de boven ge schrevene arteykel 00k 
begeren de bouwers of Opsienders rekening te doen aen dese 
personen Simon loyse en Cornelis Hoogland. 

Translation : 

1734. — April 25. The members of the Dutch Reformed 
Church in Oysterbay were gathered in our New Church, for 
“Church Masters” to choose to regulate the sittings according 
to the before written articles also to require the builders and 
overseers, reckoning to do. Peter Luyster and Cornelis Hoog- 
land were chosen for “Church Masters ” and Simon Loyse and 
Cornelis Hoogland were chosen to receive the report of the 
builders and overseers. 



1734. — de 15 Maey — hebben de bouwers of opsienders Van 
Het bouwen van onse Kerck rekening gedaen van het getekende 
gelt. 

Translation : 

1734. — May 15. The builders and overseers of our Church 
have given an account of the money received. 



The “Kerk Meester” or Deacons found a book was requisite 
for the Records of the Church and the first one used is before 
the writer. It is made of very heavy paper and bound with 
sheep skin. 

On the first page is written the following : 

“Ditis het Kercke meesters boeck Voor de nederduytsche 
gereformeerde Kerck Van Oysterbay in queens county op het 
Jlaut Van nassow in de Colony Van New York den 15 Maey 
anno 1734.’’ 

The first Church must have presented a strange appearance. 
There is some difference of opinion as to its shape, the proba- 
bility is that it was square. The sides as well as the roof were

shingled. The exposed ends of the shingles were rounded. 
The building was not painted either within or without. 

The posts for the frame were about fifteen feet high and the 
four-sided and pointed roof was very steep. 

High up on the sides were small windows, the upper part of 
small panes of glass and the lower part of shutters. 

These latter were closed in winter, but opened in summer for 
ventilation. On the south side were a pair of double doors 
rounded at the top, and made of boards placed diagonally. 
From the arrangement of the seats the building must have been 
thirty feet square. 

During the early period there was only an earth floor, but a 
board floor seems to have been added later, probably in 1789. 

Around the sides extending upwards more than four feet was 
a board wainscoting and above that probably plastering while 
overhead was a ceiling of boards. 

The pulpit was small and raised high above the head of the 
people and was at the north side of the room. On that side 
were also a number of pegs on which the minister and perhaps 
the elders and deacons hung hats and overcoats. In front of or 
under the pulpit at his desk sat the “ voorlezer” or clerk. The 
arrangement of the seats is thus described by the clerk who 
kept the “ kerk meesters ” book : 

“ Nomber een begint agter de onderling banck, en soo Voort 
tot nomber Yier, en nomber Vyef begint agter de dejakens banck 
en Soo Voort, Ver Volgens” 

“ hier begennen de Vrous plaetse aen de West Syde Van 
de gangh.” 

Gathering from this record there must have been five seats in 
the northeast corner, the first one being the elders’ bench with 
four seats behind it. 

Then the other benches were with the ends against the east 
side of the Church the first one being the deacons’ bench with 
number five behind it and so back to the door, the last one 
being number ten. On the west side of the aisle were the 
women’s chairs, there being ten rows of chairs with eight in a 
row. In the northwest corner was the Justices’ bench, probably 
facing the women. The men’s benches only accommodated

six. The Justices’ bench seated seven. The seating capacity 
of the Church was therefore one hundred and sixty. 

Extract from a letter of John Armstrong Bennet, of Nyack, 
N. Y. 

‘'Before me is a New Testament with Hymns (Psalm Book) 
and Psalms published in 1758, well bound and closed with 
silver clasps and rings, which my grandmother carried to 
Brookville (Wolver Hollow) Church. T remember the Old Church, 
it' was square like a “hay rick,” the ceiling was concave and of 
unpainted boards, containing the numbers in chalk marks and 
which I loved to count. 

The pulpit was the exact shape of a Wine Glass, with 
sounding board suspended over it. I was present when it was 
taken down.” 

The Sit places were overcarried (to use the Dutch phrase) by 
a regular transfer on the part of the Kerck Meesters, and the 
subsequent owners of seats (whose names are as follows) is as 
correct a list as it is possible to arrive at :

it shall be required. 

With consent of the congregation on the one part and of Simon 
Locey and Peter Liester on the other part, who thereto chosen 
were by the congregation, they have with us agreed that the use 
of the Pall shall belong solely to those who hold to the congre-

the territory of this congregation ; whether they be of the 
members or not, and in such manner as above because of the 
increase, should there be two dead that the “ dead cloth ” should 
require at the same time, the first dead shall the preference to the 
"cloth ” have ; and those who belong to the congregation of the 
church of hemstie, (Success.) Shemeica (Jamaica,) or to New-

those who must reside within the territory of this congregation

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

Anthonie Van Noorstrant, elected Aug-. 5, 1775 just before the 
outbreak of the Revolutionary War, made a report on May 27, 
1777, of a balance on hand of .£29,9,7. 

The old man must have been very much disturbed in mind 
over the safe keeping of the church money during the war, as a 
company of Hessian soldiers were camped within a short 
distance of his home in Wolver Hollow. 

Sept. 2, 1786. He turned over to his successors the same 
amount. 

The balance on hand was designated as so much in Banden 
and Gelt and Kopers. The “Banden” was a portion of the 
money loaned out on a personal bond, a copy of such bond here 
follows: 

In 1790, ’91, ’92 they reported as a part of the Funds 18 
shillings in “Kopers.” 

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, Adrian 
Hegeman, minor, yeoman of Oyster Bay, in Queens County, on 
Nassau Island and in the Province of New York, Yeoman, am 
held and firmly bound unto the Deacons of the Dutch Congre- 
gation of Oyster Bay in Queens County aforesaid, in the penal 
sum of fourty pounds, current lawful money of New York to be 
paid to the said Deacons or to their successors, attorney, 
Executors, administrators or assigns to the which payment well 
and truly to be made I do hereby bind myself, my heirs, 
executors or administrators and everyone of them firmly by 
these presents, sealed with my seal and dated this first day of 
May and in the year of our Lord Anno Domini 1769. 

The condition of this above was the payment of Twenty 
pounds and that at five per cent. Two receipts on the back 
were endorsed for the payment of interest for 1770, 1771. 

Aug, 5 > 1769, Gerret Wortman reported the balance as 

.£25, 13. 2 and this Bond was a portion of that balance. 

It is to be noticed that it was given by Adrian Hegeman 
Minor. 

There were three Adraens: Senior, Junior and Minor, although 
the Senior was dead the title was retained. 

In 1749 Lourens Hoff (Haff) was elected Kerk Meester or 
Deacon, but when the time came for him to report, he failed to 
do so, and held on to the money.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



In order that the Minutes of the Deacons of July 25, 1755 may 
be understood regarding - the discord therein mentioned, their 
Minutes showing the cause of the trouble is here transcribed. 

In’t Jaer 1750 heeft Jacob Vanderbelt Rekening ge daen aen 
Lourens Haff en Peter Monfoort, en heeft gevonden aen Gelt 
£2. 18. 10 aen bonden £2^. 6. 1. 

In’t Jaer 1751, in Maey, is gekose tot Kerke meester Jan Remse 
maer heeft geen rekening konnen Doen om redenen dat 
Lawerens Haff die heeft het in zyn hande gehoude. 

In’t J aer 1752, den 25 April is gekose tot kerke meester 
Jeromus Bennit en heeft 00k geen rekening kunne doen 00k om 
die seldfe redenen. 

In’t Jaer 1753 den 12 Maey is gekose tot kerke meester Jan 
Woertman en heeft 00k geen rekening kunne doen 00k om die 
Selfe redenen. 

In’t Jaer 1754 den 25 Maey is gekose tot kerke meester Joseph 
Hegeman. 

(Translation.) 

In the year 1750 has Jacob Vanderbelt an account given to 
Lourens Haff and Peter Monfoort and has given to, in money 
£z. 18. 10 in Bonds ^25.6. 1 

In the year 1751 in May is chosen for Deacon Jan Remse, but 
he no reckoning can do, for reason that Lawerens Haff has it in 
his hands held. 

In the year 1752 the 25 Apl. is chosen for Deacon, Jeromus 
Bennit and he also no reckoning can do also for the same reason. 

In the year 1753 the 12 May is chosen for Deacon Jan 
Woertman and he also no reckoning can do also for the same 
reason. 

In the year 1754 the 25 May is chosen for Deacon Joseph 
Hegeman. 

It appears that some of the subscribers to the building fund 
thought the surplus over the cost of the Church, and the profit 
arising from the sale of forfeited seats, should be divided, and a 
discord arose. 

In’t Jaer 1755 den 25 July hebben de kerke meesters dese 
artykel opgedrage om dat daer een oneens hyt in’t Jaer 1753 
gerese was, en in't Jaer 1734 doe is de kerk Voltrocken en het

In the year 1755 the 25 July have the Deacons these articles 
brought up on account of their one discord in the year 1753. 

In the year 1734 then was the church finished and the money 
that then over remained, and the profit from year to year made 
by the Deacons of the church. 

Further, in the year 1749 was Lauwerens Hoff chosen for 
Deacon and he has that portion of the money and now proposes 
to divide among the persons here under written by name. 

(The names omitted.) 

So have these above written persons no right nor part to that 
residue of the money that yet over remained and the balance of 
that money that Lawrence Haff not named has that shall stay to

In the year of our Lord 1787 we the “ Church Masters” Jacob 
Van Wicklen and Piter Luister have notified the congregation 
about the places that are still to the church belonging, also 
about the sale and about the expenses to pay the deacon of the 
church. 

On the first day of September we sold the Justices’ Bench (7 
places) in the Northwest corner and two in the east bench of 
No. 10. Two in the west bench of No 13, and five woman's 
places. 

These places have fallen and the proceeds have been paid to 
the deacon of the church.

1791, September 19. A special meeting of the Consistory of 
the Congregation to Oyster Bay, met at the house of Aaron 
Simonson, after prayer the following action was taken. Joris 
Bennet member of this congregation and at present Deacon, has 
for some considerable time proof given of his departure from the 
doctrine of the Reformed Church (which it still believes to be 
pure and has been founded on God’s word). At a meeting of a 
foregoing consistory a full investigation of his fall from the 
doctrine of the church was made and the grounds against him 
were proved. 

The Consistory present as well as particular persons, have 
sufficiently admonished in vain, as he at present persists and 
perseveres in this sin into which he has fallen, against all remon- 
strance, so that we (officially obliged are about all offences, 
heresy and error without the church to remove) 

Viz: Joris Bennet be refused from sitting to have in the 
Deacon’s seat, also he be restrained from the use of the Holy 
Sacrament, until the time that he proof gives of hearty repent- 
ance, concerning his fault committed in these things, and 
departure from the pure doctrine of our church, and these besides

“heest Verder Recaert gehouden.” 

From 1741 to 1792 there were 643 babies baptised, and the 
record is in Dutch. In 1792 Ryneer Van Nest V. D. M. as he 
signs himself began recording the Doop Boeek in English, and it 
was so done thereafter. The whole record contains the names 
of about 1, 100 baptisms. The peculiar part is the Dutch part 
The compiler has designated this people as the Dutch Congrega- 
tion, and to confirm that opinion would say that many of the 
people came from the neighborhood of Jamaica, where they 
attended church. The baptismal record of the Jamaica church 
was recorded in Dutch, when they settled in Oyster Bay they 
came as Dutch and wrote their records in the language of their 
fathers. 

They were an exclusive people and seldom went outside of 
the settlement for husbands or wives for their children. They 
were surrounded by Quakers and in the course of time their 
prejudice wore away and many were connected with them, 
but it was disastrous to the seclusion of the Dutch. No doubt 
the charms of the Quaker maid were just as potent as their own 
daughters’, and where they were located as neighbors it was a 
very difficult matter to keep them from talking over the fence. 
Then again families had certain affinities for other families, and 
they frequently intermarried. 

To the many readers of this history the fact is self evident 
that the same names are maintained in the settlement to the 
present day, and the church records at the present time 
are filled with the names of the descendants of the 
original settlers. Again they had a peculiar way of 

naming their children. One of the subscribers to the 

building fund signed his name Steven Janse. His 

correct name was Steven Janse Van Voorhies, which means 
that he was the son of Jan Van Voorhies, and like many of 
the old people, he had dropped the name of Van Voorhies. To 
make this more clear, a copy from an old Bible record in the 
possession of James M Onderdonck of Manhasset, is here given:

people were proud of their race, and maintain a share of their 
exclusiveness even to the present time. 

There was a record of the Kerk Meesters written, w T hich the 
Compiler had overlooked, but it is curious enough to be given 
alone.

N my rummaging around for old documents, a number of 
papers were found at “Beth-Horan ” (as the family like 
to call it), written in Dutch. They related to times long 



- JsssaJ past, and embraced a period of over forty years, relating 
; TfQ matters connected with the Church history. 

The translation has been made so as to adhere as nearly as 
possible to the Dutch idiom ; as a liberal or free translation 
would spoil the quaint fashion or style of the writing. 

A concise biographical sketch of the characters mentioned, 
with the concurrent facts of local history of the Low Dutch 
| Reformed church in Queens County are interwoven. 

We like to know something about the people of whom we 
read, and these biographical sketches have been gleaned from 
many sources, or at least the fragments have been. The writer 
desires to make this acknowledgment to the different authors, 
without giving details as to the titles of their works. 

As there were four particular preachers whose names appear 
repeatedly, they are given first, and the others in the order of 
sequence. 

JOHANNES CASPARUS RUBEL. 

Born in 1719; was educated in Germany. Emigrated to 
America, 1751. He preached in different places in Kings 

County, from 1755 to 1783. Was a zealous Conferentie man; 
was styled by the German Coetus in 1755, “the rebellious 
Rubel,” and on April 9th of that year it was voted that he be 
.requested to resign, but not doing so, he was deposed in 1784.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



He was a violent Tory, calling the American soldiers 
“ Satan’s soldiers," and frequently denouncing from the pulpit, 
in violent language, the cause of independence. He was also 
accused of drunkeness and bad treatment of his wife. 

His tombstone was inscribed in Dutch, and as follows : 

“ Tot gedachie?iis Van Jobs Casps Rubel , V D. M. Geboren 
den 6 Maert, 0 . S. 1719 . Overleden den 19. Maert , 77^7." 

ULPIARIUS VAN SINDEREN. 

Was born in Holland. Called to preach in Flatbush, April 
*747- 

He married October 29, 1748, Cornelia, daughter of Capt. 

John Schenck and Femmetje Hegeman, and had issue, two 
children, Uipiarius and Femmetje. 

Cornelia died from injuries received by being thrown out of 
a gig, shortly after the birth of the two children. 

He died July 23, 1796, aged 89. 

The Femmetje Hegeman mentioned was a sister of Adriaen, 
who was the first of that family settling in the town of Oyster 
Bay. 

JOHANNES RITZE5IA. 

In 1742, the churches in New York sent to Holland for a 
minister, and in response to their message, Dominie Ritzema 
arrived in New York October 14, 1744, with his wife and three 
children. A few years after his settlement, 1747, the Coetus was 
formed, he being a member. From this Coetus sprang all the 
angry disputes and violence that permeated the Dutch church 
for many years. Ritzema and his colleague, De Ronde, with- 
drew from this and formed another association called the Con- 
ference. 

When the Revolution took place he retired to Kinderhook, 
where he continued to reside until his death, April 7, 1794, aged 
86. See Collegiate Church Year Book for 1884 for a more 
detailed account. 

LAMBERTUS DE RONDE. 

Was born in Holland in 1720, and educated and ordained to 
the ministry. In 1746 he was sent to Surinam, in Dutch 
Guiana, where he labored for several years.

He made a visit to New York, where his preaching was so 
pleasing that the Collegiate Churches after some examination as 
to his testimonials, issued a call to him on August 20, 1750, with 
the understanding that he was to join the Coe/us, which he did. 
When the Revolution broke out, he was compelled to leave the 
city, when he withdrew to Schaghticoke. 

He died September 30, 1795, at that place. Also, his wife. 
Margaretta Catharina, born in Holland in 1719, died December 
11, 1801. 

He was a man of considerable culture and of much industry, 
but was irascible and self-willed. A more extended account of 
him can be found in the Year Book for 1885 of the New York 
Collegiate church. 

THE FOUR CHURCHES. 

Low Dutch Reformed Church at Jamaica. 

The early organization of this congregation is undetermined ; 
but it was the first of the congregations of the Dutch people in 
Queens county. Its first record of baptisms was June 1st, 1702. 
They had no place of worship as their own until April 
when the elders and deacons of the congregations throughout 
Queens county resolved unanimously to build a church at 
Jamaica. The sum of ^'361.18.6 was raised by subscription. 
May 13, 1715, a lot of twenty-five square rods was bought for 5 
shillings of Rev. Benjamin and Abigail Woolsey of Dosoris. 
They met in the new church for the first time June 15, 1716. 

IsOiv Dutch Reformed Church at Success (generally called 
He?npslead). 

Was organized April 11, 1730. 

Half an acre of land was bought of Martin Wiltse for 25 
shillings. Money was subscribed to the amount of ^173.16 for 
a church building, which was soon erected. The corner stone 
is dated 1732. In 1813 the northern part of the congregation 
withdrew and organized a separate society at Manhasset. The 
.old congregation disbanded in 1S30. 

The Success church was budded near the shore of the lake, at 
what is now called Lakeville, and a very beautiful and charming

place it is. The old building was sold for $290, and taken down 
after standing one hundred years. 

Low Dutch Reformed Church at Newtoivn. 

There seems to have been no regular organization or congre- 
gation in Newtown previous to the building of the church, the 
inhabitants attending at Jamaica or Bush wick. 

The year 1731 witnessed the first efforts to effect the building 
of a house of worship, as appears from the record of a meeting 
called for that purpose. 

“In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 1731, on the 2d of 
December convened in the house of Samuel Fish, Jr., and have 
resolved in peace and love to build a Church or house of God." 

A subscription soliciting funds for that purpose was started, 
and ^277. 1 2 was secured. On may 27, 1732, they appointed 
their brothers and faithful friends, etc., as a building committee. 

They bought a plot of ground from Peter Berrien, April 3, 
1733, anc ^ church was built and finished in August, 1735. 

Low Dutch Reformed Church of Oyster Bay , Located at Wolver 
Hollow {Now Brookville). 

Was organized about 1 732, as a meeting was held on Sept. 9, 
1732, at the house of Jurien Haff for the purpose of going on 
with the building of a Church or House of God. 

A subscription of f 163 was made. Adriaen Hegeman, Jurien 
Haff, Jacob Van Noorstrant and Barent VanWyck were appointed 
a committee for that purpose. The church was completed and 
the congregation met in the new church April 25, 1734. 

The church was built on an acre of ground bought of Edmund 
Wright Sept. 25, 1732, for £ 6 . 

7 he Collegiate Churches of Queens County . 

The Dutch people in Queens County previous to the building 
of the church in Jamaica, were depending largely for ministers 
and religious services on Kings county and New York, but after 
the building of the churches in Queens county the delegates from 
the four congregations met at Flatbush on July 23, 1739, anc ^ 
united in engaging the services of Domini Van Basten for one 
year at a salary of ^75.

He was succeeded by Domini Goetchius of Pennsylvania. 
When he was settled, Sept. 4, 1741, the congregations united in 
buying a parsonage house at Jamaica for ^185. Shortly, oppo- 
sition was excited because of his enthusiasm, and the troubles 
began. 

It would be in explanation to say, that one Domini was required 
to fill the pulpit on alternate Sabbaths in the four churches. 

JOHANNES HENRICUS GOETCHIUS. 

Born in 1718, in Liguria, Switzerland. Studied in the University 
of Zurich. Was called to preach in the Dutch churches of Queens 
county in October, 1740, and being their first regular preacher. 
Was licensed and ordained by his preceptor, Dorsius, aided by 
Johannes Frelinghuysen of Raritan. This was just about the 
time of the first meeting of the Dutch Coetus. Many souls needed 
instruction, and these excellent men felt that this must not be 
withheld on account of ecclesiastical formalities. They lived far 
in advance of their times. 

Domini Goetchius was inducted at Jamaica April 19, 1741, by 
Domini Freeman, who preached from Matthew 28:20. 

Coetus says, Goetchius was qualified ; ordained by Dorsius and 
Frelinghuysen ; though they had no right to do so, and that Free- 
man, with the assent of Antonides, openly laid hands on him 
and installed him. We quote from Corwin's Manual farther : 
“But certain persons created difficulties respecting the validity of 
his ministry, and his colleague, Antonides, now inconsistently 
took part with them. The pressure brought to bear on him 
caused him sometimes to lose his temper, for which he was re- 
buked by Classis. Immorality was also charged against him, 
but this was declared not sustained.” 

He seemed to be in advance of the times, and his sermon Aug. 
22 > 1742, on the “Unknown God” savored of the “higher criti- 
cism.” It gave great offense to his people, and with that and the 
question of his ordination, “the church was sometimes locked 
against him ; when he preached in barns or crowded houses, o 
under trees, or on the door steps of the church.” 

On one occasion, when in the church, the Voorsanger , who 
sat below the pulpit and in those days gave 'out the hymns, in

order to prevent his preaching, gave out the whole of the 119th 
Psalm, which would have taken all day to sing. Mr. G. had the 
courage to stop it. 

He was a man of deep feeling and strong passions, it being 
said that once, when resistance was apprehended to his entering 
the church at Hackensack, he buckled on his sword, and thus ac- 
coutred entered the pulpit. It must be remembered, that it was 
not unusual for even a minister to wear a sword. 

To the Coe/us party was imputed the better piety, and to that 
Mr. Goetchius belonged. 

He was removed from his charge in 1748, and for the sake of 
peace consented to take the place of a candidate and submit 
to a new examination and ordination, though having been ten 
years in the ministry. 

He was a learned, pious and godly man, and a faithful and 
successful preacher of the gospel, and God accepted his work, 
giving him great revivals in the places where he served. 

He was below the medium size, of a vigorous constitution ; 
abrupt in speech, but his language was clear and expressive. He 
was a man of profound erudition, a thorough Calvinist, and an 
accomplished theologian and able preacher. 

He died in 1774, aged 57. 

Pie was thrice married, and had sixteen children, two of whom 
were baptized July 19, 1745, at Success, Ester and Magdalene by 
name. The witnesses were Ester and Magdalene Goetchius 
The mother, Maria. 

Mourits, baptized April 22, 1747, in Wolver Hollow. No mother 
mentioned-

This decision we hold Ecclesiastic, and therefore all becoming 
to be. 

Wherefore, they in short, this of you expect. 

Now Christlike greeting remain, &c. , 

G. D. Bois, 

In Virtue of the Committee. 

The answer to your missive of the 9th of March find it good. 

THE ANSWER. 

Honorable Sirs : 

Until now, to no opportunity have found for time to spend, 
about such unnecessary business. Require of you, amicably, 
what I must understand by the expression, “ dispute between 
you and the Consistory members. ” 

If a Mr. Consistory member, who abandons the Church office, 
can yet a Consistory be ? 

Wishing also amicably, that you, out of God’s grace, light and 
revelation might find concerning this you do ; then should people 
you seriously hear. Desire no other Ecclesiastic treatment as 
such that hitherto regular be. 

Request amicably, to know if possible, since the last Synod, 
your commision have received from your Classis, where it says 
under subordinate to be ; that you with such command appear 
(which I wish you to do to oblige). 

On the ist Question. I question you amicably, if you Domini 
Dorsius and Domini Frelinghuysen have removed ; in case not, 
and have not again to happened ; then explain my sub-ordination 
under Action of Synod of Dord, for that In my promotion already 
is history. 

In case already therefore, I question you beforehand, if you 
have power for me to again ordain, to accept, to bind, &c. 

On the 2d precept. Must know first, whether it is the pleasure 
of the Honorable Classis of Amsterdam, me to accept and protect 
as a member. 

In case then, have I no account over to give, for and before, 
that you thereto committed be.

On the 3d precept. I acknowledge you for no Committee nor 
Right Rules mediators, therefore shall I yet in my freedom stand 
about you for mediators to acknowledge. 

With such you do, will you in fact true impartiality show, will 
you mine accusers and accusations nothing let be know, and 
thus unanswered, black made by the Honorable Classis. With- 
out doubt, shall the Honorable Classis you reward as in the gedoc 
of Domini Frelinghuysen. 

On the last We should esteem so much all your actions, 
when we such of you did inquire. 

Lastly. Wish that you with a written answer their own work 
approve. Please to testify on what grounds, such business can 
pass, as wholly Ecclesiastic and becoming to be. 

Respectfully remain your humble servant, 

J. H. Goetchius, D. M. ,

THOMAS ROMETN, Sr. 

He was the son of Nicholas, and was born at Pompton, N. J., 
in March, 1729. He married Margaret Frelinghuysen, a daughter 
of Theodorus Jacobus, who emigrated in 1727. Died at Fonda, 
N. Y., Oct. 22, 1794* His wife died at Jamaica Dec. 23, 1757. 

He appeared in Coetus Sept. 13, 1749, and wished to be recom- 
mended to the Classis of Amsterdam. 

In November, 1752, he preached as a student of theology, for 
the first time, a trial sermon in Jamaica, accompanied by Freling- 
huysen, his brother-in-law, and two days after, Nov. 10th, 1752, 
Jamaica and Oyster Bay united in a call on him, on condition 
that he should go to Holland for ordination. 

The Church had had troubles enough and desired to avoid any 
more, on account of the irregular ordination of Goetchius. 

April 10, 1753, he gave his departing sermon ; arrived safely 
in Amsterdam, and was ordained Sept. 3, 1753. 

April 9, 1754, he had returned, and was inducted Nov. 10, by 
Domini Yerbryck.

After his settlement on Long Island, though a prudent man, he 
found it difficult to still the troubled waters. His call, also, was 
not unanimous. In March, 1755, niade a pastrol visitation 
from house to house, and met with rough handling from the 
friends of Goetchius. 

On April 6, he celebrated the Lord’s Supper and admitted six- 
teen members. 

In 1757, at a meeting of the disaffected element another min- 
ister was called. (See later Paper No. 4). 

He preached his farewell sermon on Nov. 30, 1760, from Ephe- 
sians 6, 24 ; and being a quiet and peaceful man, sought free- 
dom from the strife in another field of labor, at Minisink, N. J.

The Reverend, Thomas Romeyn. 

Dear Sir : We of the underwritten Consistories together stand. 

The congregation of Success have understood, that your Honor 
has a call under inspection, for the Revd. Johannes Frelinghuy* 
sen, nevertheless, so our information is ; suppose for the con- 
gregation of Oyster Bay and partly Jamaica, even with inclusion 
of the undersigned congregations ; a matter to us appearing 
extremely strange, because we have understood, with us to 
Success chosen be to inform about church matters, that Domini 
De Ronde is to be sent by Coetus to Oyster Bay, and together 
that, fully consenting to, but not Johannes Frelinghuysen ; and 
further request we of you all friendly-like, that we want you 
shout with these above said matters, not forward to go. 

Thinking that it more shall tend to war than to peace ; and if 
you then with your matter shall forward go, so find we ourselves 
obliged to go against you therein. 

Anno 1753. To Success, the 3d Feb. 

[Note.] There were no signatures attached, but the letter was 
written for the Church of Newtown and Success. It will be 
noticed that this letter is dated on the same day that Domini 
Romeyn was ordained in Amsterdam. 

The call to Frelinghuysen appears never to have come to a 
head, probably on account of his death soon after, Sept. 15, 1754* 

A FAMILY OF DOMINIES. 

The Reverend Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen emigrated to 
this country in 1727. Died, 1747. He married Eva Terhune of 
Flatbush. They had issue as follows : 

Rev. Theodore. Married Elizabeth Syms. He preached in 
New Albany 1746. Supposed to have been drowned on his way

There was a little story connected with Theodorus Frelinghuy- 
sen, one of the family of ministers, which seems of interest. 
He preached in English to the soldiers who were sent to Albany 
for the protection of the frontier. In the spring of 1759, took 
strong ground, though with little success, against the spirit of 
gaiety and fashion which a regiment of royal troops had intro- 
duced in that city. On one occasion, having preached an un- 
usually earnest sermon against worldly follies, he found on Mon- 
day morning at his door, a pair of shoes, a staff, a silver coin, 
and a loaf of bread. Fie considered this an intimation to leave, 
which he in the fall of that year did. 

The following letter (being marked No. 3), coming from Am- 
sterdam, gives the disturbing element somewhat of a “calling 
down" and endeavors to inculcate a little of the spirit of forbear- 
ance and also a moral lecture.

(The address.) 

“ Right Honorable Sirs : 

The Reverend Ritsma and De Ronde, Ministers and Heads of 
the Honorable Consistory of the Reformed Congregation at New 
York.” 

Right Honorable Sirs and esteemed Colleagues. 

We have your letters and the documents received, also that of 
the Reverend Ritsma dated the 20th of August, 1755, then that 
of the meeting at Peremus held the 3d of November, 1755, the 
which on the 25th of November was laid before the Consistory 
at New York and suppose the conclusion there, undersigned by 
the Revd. Ritsma as pressser and regulator wherein to diseiplin ; 
that to the purpose of the gathering to Peremus for their advice 
is extremely well satisfied. Legitimately their intentions have 
not been able to reconcile wherefore they the former Censure 
over Goetchius accusing him of ill behaviour and improper in- 
trusion, and the meeting of Peremus, &c., have in short referred 
the whole business to the Classis. 

Underwritten with the name of Gerard Haaghoort alike for all 
the Directors’ names. This all finally concluding with a P. S. 
wherein and by hand confirmed that it be true, and something in 
respect to the contents of this writing, something concerning the 
future management of the affairs of Coetus y also undersigned by 
Ritsma and De Ronde. 

After such a bulky, so tedious and for a great part unintelligi- 
ble sort of matter to have to read, must we confess to be affected 
with the utmost surprise, pity and indignation. Certainly can 
not comprehend, how thereof people, how thereof Christian 
Teachers could changed become to such a kind of proceeding, in 
the “biting and devouring” of one another, but years after one 
to single out ; and not the better alone could choose, and with 
that all conciliatory state, should imitators be of the meek, lowly 
and charitable Jesus. Even so it seems right to think that char-

ity, the “livery” of the Christian, is only hate, envy, anger 
working, vitiating, detestable, eager self-seeking, out of evil is, 
without a proper conception that enmities, contentions, jealousy^ 
angry disputes and discord, shuts anybody without God's king- 
dom. Where shall this dear brothers, what shall thereof of this 
all become. 

We can you with assurance tell, that we no part of the world 
know where it is so in our Church harbored as in New York. So 
in this, that part alone of the foreign country churches, to the 
Classis give as much to do as the others together. 

Shall there then not harmony to be expected, and an end be to 
all the old disagreements and disputes, that during so many 
years have dominated church and state, and households divided, 
and God's wrath over the community excited. 

Shall people not once think that the ordering is difficult over 
the prevailing conditions, not only in the murmerings but for 
New York and it particular. 

Perceive we not the tempestuous clouds on all sides moving 1 
reveals He nothing in this wise, of Plis terrible anger from the 
heavens, have we reason for to believe that He whose frequent 
ordering of His household, indulgently us before others shall 
spare, when in reluctance for the increased light, vigorous when 
others sin. Nay, beloved brethren, nothing is of it, that we, so 
we a reasonably sound course of action, could and should bring 
to such an extravagant inference. 

Therefore, praying and supplicating the Lord Jesus we yet 
about, as for the health of your souls, with the welfare of the 
congregation, for the bowels of charity, that you all of one 
accord, right may plan for the understriving fires to suppress, 
and none to kindle anew or set going, either through instigation 
or through neglect. 

In regard to the letter of the Reverend Ritsma, written the 
20th of August, last year, we learn with sorrow of no apparent 
cessation of the unrest on Long Island out of the removal of 
Domini Goetchius and the calling of Domini Romeyn to Oyster 
Bay and Jamaica; and hereto on the devout purpose of the 
Classis, how earnest they that desire ; is not satisfied the old 
bargain of the year 1748 to hold fast anew.

Merits by us on such, not the least remark, and is wise thereof 
never a business from off the Classis hand to come. Slight 
cause, so foreign to their complete interest. 

Must their resolution there over, which your honor is acquaint-

entreat you and request on it all emphatical, that you to the out- 
working of the same will co-operate and not there against, 
besides the least appearance, by lending an ear to, will give, of 
together combining with the disobedient. 

On the last mentioned writing to Peremes, on ordered; the 
further action can by your honor’s Classes ; that in a great part 
can not be understood for the obscure style and language, bad 
spelling and out drawn prolixity. No other answer given than 
that all the procedure and the censuring of the one the other 
side, for u?ilawful and null declared. 

And in the matter nothing can be done before that men a law- 
ful Celus hence hold, the matter therein differently be treated, and 
a short, exact and plain account do to the Classis, legal proof of 
must be, alone of essential business. We request that you there- 
fore due knowledge please to give to the heads of these together 
coming to Peremas, that this matter before your honorable Con- 
sistory before have brought, and on which we order on account 
of nothing, either soundly to write. 

Herewith your honors, the peace, the love, the unity and 
orderliness once again admonished about thereto, to pray for the 
light and influence of the Holy Spirit. So sign we with sincere 
love, right honorable Sirs and esteemed colleagues, in our Classi-

Very Honorable Sir. 

We, Elders and Deacons of the three Low Dutch Congregations, 
Newtown, Jamaica and Hempstead in Queens County, on Long 
Island, in the province of New York, with each other are united 
and together met in the name of God, in order to, in the fear of

according to the desire of the three congregations in our gather-

Tonkus Van Hoovenberg, present preacher of Rhinebeck to call 
for our Shepherd and Teacher. 

Simultaneous, we then subscribed also in the name of the 
congregations and in the presence of the Right Honorable Sir, 
Lambertus De Ronde, preacher in New York, who our congre-

PAPER No. 5. 

[translation. ] 

Right Honorable, Highly learned Sirs, Father and Brethren. 

Whereas, the Consistory of Jamaica, have on a friendly request, 
for us to give testimony of the truth of their matter, that they 
imputing to errors, upon your table bring with protest, concern- 
ing their wronging and oppression. 

So having, we in this will not in neglect remain, but therein to 
speak sincerely to proceedings, and as much as we are conscious 
of, in this your honors, to communicate and conscientiously 
testify, and thence shall look, from your honors the righting of 
unjust treatment by Costus and to your Classis here in this land. 

It is then history, after the removal of Domini Goetchius, that 
the Classis had decreed, that therefore a new Consistory in 
Jamaica should be chosen, out of both parties; but whereto that 
party that it with Domini Goetchius holds, would have nothing 
to do, and properly with the other party together a Consistory to 
choose ; so that these were necessitated to go on with the choosing 
of a Consistory according to the rules of the Honorable Classis 
of Amsterdam. 

That Consistory in an Ecclesiastical way was chosen, and also 
inducted by the Honorable Sir, Domini Arondeus as being lawful 
preacher, and although they obey the commands of the Classis 
afterwards in every respect, whereon the other party by Goet- 
chius it not let assent to. 

But Domini Ritsema, preacher in New York, successfully per- 
suaded for yet a similar Consistory to choose, opposed to that 
other already made, and whereas the other party, proceeding 
against the protest of the lawful Consistory, moreover have fear- 
lessly done, although in an unexcellent way against all equity 
and right, but courageous continue, and their chosen Consistory 
was permitted to be installed in the English Presbyterian Church; 
thereupon did they further go, and with Domini John Freling- 
huisen, who them therein w r as willing to concur, although against 
the orders of the Classis ; calling one Thomas Romeyn therein

with the Congregation of Oyster Bay, that by Domini Freling- 
huisen persuaded be thereto ; and somewhat also to such an un- 
orderly procedure, the Honorable Domini De Ronda, also preach- 
er in New York, had labored for it to come, and advised the 
congregations, themselves, not from one to separate, but with 
each other to remain, that had jointly one preacher equally to 
call as before, and can us not assist 

But men covet craftily for the three congregations, beforehand. 
And so is Romeyn there come, and with his coming has affected 
great schism and discord in Jamaica, as also with us, and also 
in Newtown, that formerly quiet and peaceable our God’s service 
could perform. 

Yea; so far got their tyranny with the before-named Thomas 
Romeyn, that whenever we with Newtown and Jamaica another 
teacher would call, be they at every turn at once to oppose, and 
that men us after following with shameful leugerts and lasterhige 
in so far even, our Church home and land to take away may, 
that we already ten years among ourselves had, and having 
received nothing out of their hands. 

Honorable Sirs, 

This is “the not otherwise” than perfectly true, without the 
particular things done to us. 

In the end we hope and wish, that we yet equal rights may 
find in your exalted assembly, and that your Honors this mature- 
ly shall consider, that we, not longer every day about to run, 
like wandering sheep without a shepherd. 

The blessing of the Lord be over your people and highly Hon- 
orable Assembly. 

Remaining with all high esteem, Right Honorable, very learned 
Reverend fathers and brethern 

Your honors’ 

Servants and brethren. 

Success, the 20th March, 1759. 

The paper No. 6, following the one written to Amsterdam by 
Success, might be taken as a reply, but not so ; it comes as the 
Apostolic utterance of the Church, and is sent by Classis that 
met at New Brunswick to the different Congregations.

PAPER No. 6. 

[translation.] 

To the Right Honorable Consistories in the Province of New 
York. 

Right Honorable and much loved Colleagues. 

Your letter signed by D. D. Erichsen and Leydt at New Bruns- 
wick the 27th of June, 1760, with the annexed document, is well 
to our hand come ; wherein the event is given to us exactly and 
according to truth; concurring with the information that we 
have received from the other brethren. 

It serves to our complete satisfaction that the Christlike and 
very cordial arousing done by our former letter, for the hurtful 
schisms and miserable discord to abandon, so inconsistent with 
the teaching of the gospel of the meek Saviour ; and themselves 
mutually in one Coetus to unite, in so far the attention, and the 
effect it has had with the Honorable Brethren of the other side, 
that they themselves have manifested a disposition for the 
estrangement to take away and there-over with each other to 
enter into negotiation. 

But to our greatest regret, we at once perceive that these so 
desiring reunion, and not loyally come to a stand, but interrupt, 
or at least put off, is because the men who will first determin 
over the Articles and conditions, those men in either party will 
not be able to agree. 

The brethren that style themselves the Confereniie gathering, 
demand that the decision in important matters, whereabout are 
differences, with the Classis shall rest, and the whole matter in 
such a case shall before be carried by both parties. 

The present Coeius answers that the matter of the old hostility 
with superiority of votes ought to be settled in compliance with 
'Article 31 of the Ecclesiastical Rules. The Coetus asserts the 

* The 31st Article says : “If any person conceive himself aggrieved by 

the decision of a lesser Assembly, he shall have the liberty and right of 
appealing to a higher ; and that which is determined by a majority of voices 
tr * such assembly shall be held decisive and binding unless it can be demon- 
strated to be contrary to the Word of God and these Articles.”

legality of the examinations and promotions of the students ; 
that the already done promotions, so few hence done may be, as 
any lawful baptisms, that the former and the rest with the con- 
gregations, absolute, further then therefrom not to abdicate. 

The Conference assembly maintain that these powers to the 
Coetus do not appertain, whereas the Classis, never a Coe/us, 
have avowed and conceded unanimously their sub-authority and 
right by express proviso, for to examine and to promote and to 
sentence about the doctrin, as evidence out of their letter of 
November, 1739, anc * right because the same is reserved for the 
Classes by the Dordse Synodus. 

The substance of the “both sides ” letters, has been referred 
to the Honorable Classis, and by the same maturely considered, 
and the same have instructed us on the union of both parties 
once again on it earnestly on to urge ; and concerning the points 
in dispute, that the union delays, her feelings to you to com- 
municate. 

The Honorable assembly is of judgment concerning the first, 
that the superiority of the votes must certainly have place ; it is 
properly the nature of any gathering, also ecclesiastical advance. 
By means of that the convoked members of the Classis freely 
settle honorable protests. It likewise serves to bring the sub- 
ordination by inferior to greater Church assemblies. 

Concerning the second and important, can we the already done 
promotions "well not approve, as wherein those finished on the 
vows with the Lowlands church, but will also thereover accord- 
ing to much rigorousness not judge or endeavor to annul, only 
for peace sake in condition allow and the before finished hold. 

It is also so, that the Classis can grant no liberty to the Coetus 
about the examinations, which alone belongs to a lawful Classis, 
though the Classis will well in case an extraordinary question 
may come before all yieldingness exercise for the matter to be 
instructed about por re nata to act, while the Coetus the same ; a 
laudable testimony of such person to furnish concerning his 
ability and knowledge according to truth in the Holy Theology. 

But shall this indulgence of the Classis have no place as long 
as the Coetus by the bond of love, peace and harmony, not 
becomingly with one another is united.

Let therefore Right Honorable Sirs and much loved brethren, 
our pacific opinions and counsel only thereto unjust about, with 
the co-operation of the God all merciful, the welfare of the newly 
planted congregations, the underlying foundation to free confi- 
dence, by it the true faith in Christ to promote. 

We will hope and wish that none of you were in the disorders 
and thereout shall draw, wanting independence of his colleague's, 
pleasure, and in place of the wound to heal, the same unpleasant 
to make, more, much more that this our answer the ground 
might lay to a hearty union. 

If we God's honor, the extension of Christ’s holy kingdom, 
the interest and establishment of the particular Congregations to 
heart got, and we thereto blessed instruments will be, how hard 
must we then not pray for the spirit of love and moderation and 
watch against any imperious Spirit of Diotrephes, and thereto all 
wrong purposes abominate and sinful passions suppress, also, 
that all some varnish and assumption might have of good ardour, 
for us the Lord’s approval thereto to set. 

It becomes you therefore then, in our behalf, on it heartily to 
pray, and as married brethren, the hands in one to strike, the 
several bonds to reunite, and therefore as loyal sons of the truth, 
to have the love to the true. 

Will then with reverence one the other surpass ; the one the 
other exceedingly esteem ; then themselves each other’s burdens 
bear and also the law of Christ fulfill. 

This shall our subject for thanksgiving be, to the God of peace ; 
our joyful consolation, and the reward be for our brotherly and 
well meaning counsels. 

We conclude with the wish prayer of Paul to the Romans, 15, 
5 & 6, and commend you and the congregations to the protection 
of God and His blessed word. 

We remain with true affection, Right Honorable much loved 
colleagues, your obedient servants and brothers. In the name 
of the Honorable Classis of Amsterdam.

The Coe/us wish the peace, happiness and salvation of Jesus

Whereas a letter has come from the Honorable Classis of Am- 
sterdam to the Consistories in this remote region, and earnestly 
advising the union in one Coeius , the tw^o hindering articles to 
decide, for the good of our Church to forward. 

So is it, that the Coeius have thought good, to the better arous-

able Classis through the usual copy, and with this to declare 
their sincere intention and earnest desire for universal peace and 
union with the brethren that without the Coeius be, in one Coeius 
to acquire. 

Whereunto the Coeius desires not otherwise, than that every- 
thing should orderly become after God's word, Constitution of 
the Low Dutch Reformed Church and lawful Coeius , and so 
follow quickly the love and unity.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



From a historical discourse delivered by Sylvester Woodbridge, 
Jr., pastor, at the dedication of Christ’s First Church Chapel, 
Raynor, South Hempstead, Nov. 29, 1840. 

“In the year 1762 the Revd. Abraham Keteltas supplied the 
Congregation for a short time. 

“He was accustomed, says an aged and highly respected 
member of the Church, who relates from memory, to preach 
alternate Sabbaths at New York and Hempstead. In the city it 
was said that he preached in French. It is recorded on the stone 
which marks the place of his burial, that he had frequently 
officiated in three different languages, having preached in the 
Dutch and French languages in his native city of New York. 
He was a graduate of Yale College in 1752, and was ordained by 
the Presbytery of New York, in 1758. 

“He possessed unusual talents, which were improved by 
profound erudition. The increase of the Congregation, which 
was rapid under the labors of Mr. Keteltas, received a great 
check at the Revolution.” 

He preached as a “supply” in the Dutch congregations from 
1760 to 1762, and on April 28, 1762, a regular call was extended 
to him. See Paper No. 7. 

The call was accepted by him a«.d after the first sermons he 
was paid, as per paper No. 9. On April 18, 1763, he receipted 
for his half year’s salary, ^16.5. 

The matter, of necessity, was referred to the Classis of Am- 
sterdam, with what result, will be revealed further on.

THE CALL TO ABRAHAM KETELTAS. 

The Elders of the four united Congregations of Newtown, 
Jamaica, Hempstead and Oyster Bay, being together assembled 
on the 28th day of April, in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 
1762, about a Reformed orthodox minister to call, for our four 
above mentioned Reformed Congregations, situated in Queens 
County, in the province of New York. 

Whereas, be it known, that (by our request) the very honor- 
able and godly gentleman, Abraham Keteltas, residing being in 
the County above mentioned ; his preaching to our congrega- 
tions, appears to have given very good satisfaction, and to hear, 
have in the general crowded in. 

Therefore, have the congregations, the Elders of the four 
congregations, on encouraged; and they are, just now, Elders 
and congregations with heart and soul agreed. 

And we, the Elders of the four congregations are commanded 
that into their care the business shall take, and exhorted by their 
Elders office the honorable Mr. Abraham Keteltas, shepard and 
teacher to call, to the end, for their regular shepard and teacher 
to be. 

He in the first place, promising himself to submit to the Arti- 
cles of the Low Dutch Reformed Church and the Honorable 
Classis of Amsterdam. We underwritten Elders of the four con- 
gregations, find ourselves obliged for the Christian Church of this 
place, without any neglect, to provide that honorable persons 
Christ teach, and the work of the free full grace, to the salvation 
of sinners, with us constantly be taught 

Therefore, we Elders with heart and soul, so call you, very 
honorable, learned Sir, Abraham Keteltas. Yea, we call your 
honor with this, by virtue of, and in the name of all our congre- 
gations. We call your honor, in the fear of the Lord our Chris- 
tian congregations of this place to supply ; with a full blessing 
of the gospel, to their all upbuilding in the fear of the Lord, and

that your honor, it request, with a heavenly manner, and thus 
endeavor, to allure and to draw, in order to a heavenly minded 
life to lead, and that after you following-, God will incline your 
heart to come to our help and grant you as God’s favour, enough 
of the power of his sanctifying spirit. 

That we, you appoint (with good health) two times each month 
in the year, on either day of the Lord to preach out of the power 
that God gives you, and that four months, once on either day of 
the Lord, and also on the feast days, to be done according to our 
church customs of this place ; and also preparation sermon for 
the Holy Sacrament. 

The congregations of Newton and Jamaica commune together 
in a body, as also the congregations of Hempstead and Oyster 
Bay, turn by turn ; and that every three months, there you 
the Sacrament serve, there must you visitations do, and the 
Elders in the other village the visitations do, where you no 
Sacrament serve. 

Further, must you the discipline exercise, with the advice of 
your Elders, and all carefulness to usage, and if necessary with 
a neighboring minister to consult; in this manner also the cate- 
chising ; consulting you your Elders, where and how, the time 
and place to set ; the sick in their need, thereto visit with relief, 
and their faith to sustain ; and whatever God, of his upright and 
faithful man-servant demands ; and this is all to the honor of 
God’s Holy name and to the salvation of all true believers. 
Amen. 

We the Elders of the four united congregations, promise and 
assure you, very honorable sir, Abraham Keteltas, a salary of 
New York money, and a house and lot, with all the neces- 
sary appurtenances, situated in Jamaica, bought and set for a 
Low Dutch shepherd and minister. 

We underwritten Elders bind ourselves by our hands, every 
half year, you Heer Keteltas to pay the half of the above men- 
tioned sum, and we question not of our following the same shall 
do, from time to time, as long as you shall serve on these condi- 
tions. 

We hope that you freely and cheerfully this call shall accept 
and take, with a full blessing of the gospel, and we shall you 
Hcer Abraham Keteltas with esteem, honor and love, embrace 
and welcome. Day and date as above.

To the Congregations of Queens County. 

Honorable Brethren. According to a request, the undersigned 
have come together, to consider the acceptability of Domine 
Keteltas ; which is undertaken by us in the fear of the Lord. 

Whereby we found that Domine Keteltas on an important point 
of Doctrine with us did not agree, and whereto, we (according to 
Synodal Resolutions) could not abdicate from. 

Wherefore it is necessary that the consummation of our busi- 
ness, yet a little while shall be put off, the more, as that Do. Ke- 
teltas himself willingly has offered thereover for himself further 
to inform, or to permit instruction. 

Whereto, we, his honor all assistance have offered ; wherefore 
we request you people, Do. Keteltas nor us not to take amiss, that 
we could not bring the matter to an end, for that Do. Keteltas 
nothing against his conscience can properly do, nor we also not, 
and since by the delay, no prejudice to the matter even is. So 
are we necessitated to a further convincing ; us to set at rest, in 
the hope and expectation that God this darkness shall clear up.

•‘The contest resulted in an open rupture in the Kingston

A COPY OF DOMINI BOLENS CALL. 

To the Most Reverend and very learned Fathers in Christ. 

Since it not alone is certain that the whole world by nature in 
wickedness lies, but even is foredoomed before God ; and it has 
after pleased God almighty out of His good pleasure, a means to 
salvation for fallen man to find out, and thereof blessed know- 
ledge to give, through the preaching of the Holy Evangelist, that 
the faithful one eternally might be saved. 

So is then above all things necessary that to solicitude be, that 
where the Gospel cannot be proclaimed by reason of the lack of 
a minister, that that lack of, elsewhere may be supplied, that the 
Evangelist there also his support might have. On that account 
is it then that we undersubscribed Consistories of the four united 
Congregations in Queens County on the Long Island Nassau, in 
the Colony of New York ; 

Jameca,

solicit and humbly request you, Exalted Reverends, for our four 
united Congregations about to look, after an orthodox minister 
for us and our youth, necessary and proper for this place the work 
of a true minister of the Gospel to perform, in the preaching, cat- 
echising and administering of the Holy Sacrament, and to the 
same qualified according to Church regulations, and us speedily 
towards to send a lawful teacher for our service and Church, be- 
cause the call made on the Honorable Mr. Keteltas have not 
continued in, for the Honorable Classis it abandoned, as his 
Honor, touching the Eternal Sonship of God’s Son can not sub- 
scribe to. 

And since a laborer, according to the saying of the Saviour, “is 
worthy of his hire,” Luke 10, 7, and it is not too much that those

paid. 

His dwelling house will be to Jamaica, there one Bogaart is. 

We for one horse and one cow beast of three.

We the authorized Consistories, present Elders and Deacons of 
our congregations, underwritten this call as our own act about all 
what therein mentioned and is expressed, faithfully to fulfill alike,

tinuation, from time to time the same to do.

HERMANUS LANCELOT BOELEN. 

In answer to the urgent necessity of the Congregations, a man 
was found to “hazard the call” in the person of Domini Boelen. 

He arrived from Holland Feb. 2, 1766, and on the 4th deliver- 
ed his introductory discourse, from Psalms 34 : 1 2. 

Was inducted Feb. 16, 1766, by Domini Van Sinderen (who 
wrote the call), with a text from Hebrews, 13:7.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



He was a widower, accompanied by his daughter, and his 
language is said to have been too pure and high-flown for the 
people. He was of small stature but had a stentorian voice. 

During his ministry the contentions in the Church were settled, 
by a convention of ministers and elders, held in New York Oct. 
15, 1771. He did not attend. 

The wounds were not healed. Apparently he was released in 
1772. During the Revolution he was a Tory, and his warm 
prayers for the king exasperated the "Whigs. He returned to 
Holland in 1780. 

SOLOMON FROELIGH. 

He was born at Red Hook May 29, 1750. Studied under D. 
Romeyn and J. H. Goetschius. Was licensed to preach in 1774, 
and the Queens County Churches were his first charge. He was 
ordained and installed at Jamaica June 11, 1775. 

He married Rachel Vanderbeck in 1771; and died Oct. 8, 1827. 

He was early impressed, under the preaching of Schuneman, 
and begged his father, who was a farmer, to give him an educa- 
tion. Through his mother's influence, he finally prevailed. 

He was an ardent Whig, and was so outspoken in the pulpit 
that when the British entered Long Island he was compelled to 
flee fiom his congregations, narrowly escaping. He went to 
Hackensack, and accompanied Dr. Livingston on horseback to 
the north on the west side of the Hudson. 

He became prominent in the councils of the Church, and 
strove to heal the wounds made in former conflicts ; and his 
preaching at Hackensack resulted in more than two hundred 
being admitted to the Church in 1800 on profession. He was 
made D. D. in 1811 by Rutgers College. De Ronde reports to 
Synod in 1775 that on Sunday, June 11, he had assisted at the 
installation of Froeligh, who in the afternoon preached his in- 
troductory sermon from Isaiah 62 : 1. 

Sometime after the service, it is said, De Ronde asked the Rev. 
Abraham Keteltas, a Presbyterian minister present, “who is 
this Froeligh ? What is his father’s occupation?” Keteltas re- 
plied, “ He is a farmer’s son.” De Ronde rejoined, “Oh, these 
farmer ministers have no dignity.” Keteltas replied, “Why 1 
am surprised, dominie ; this morning you -told us it mattered not

Si 



whether a minister was a son of a Boer or Burgemeester” “I 
said so, indeed, in the pulpit,” rejoined De Ronde, “I must say 
something there for the ears of the people, but feel differently.” 

William P. Kuypers (a brother to Zachariah, who was called 
later to Queens County), laboring under a misconception, accus- 
ed Mr. Froeligh of defrauding a man on Long Island of a watch, 
which was explained by his hasty flight when the British entered 
the Island, allowing no opportunity for him to pay for it. This 
question about the watch resulted in a Church trial on April 25, 
1800, in Wolver Hollow, the account of which here follows : 

At a meeting of the Consistory of the Church of Oyster Bay 
at the house of jacobus Van Voorhis on Friday the 25th of April, 
1800. 

RESOLVED : That Mr. Suydam bring forward his evidences 

to support the charge alleged against Mr. Hoogland. The evi- 
dences were as follows : 

First. To all whom it may concern, this serves to certify that 
Tunis Hoogland did inform the Rev’d Wm. P. Kuypers that the 
Rev. Solomon Froeligh had purchased a watch of Mr. Abraham 
Schenck, for which he had not rendered satisfaction. I told him 
further, that after the conclusion of the war, the Rev. S. Froeligh 
came upon the Island and as soon the said Mr. Schenck heard of 
it, went unto him and asked him for payment for the said watch. 
Mr. Froleigh answered him that he could take the said watch 
back again ; then Mr. Schenck said that he had had the watch so 
long in his possession that he would not take it again, but in- 
sisted upon the money; then Mr. Froeligh told him that if he 
would not take it he should neither have the watch nor the 
money ; to this Mr. Schenck replied that if he would be so bad 
as that, he might keep the watch and money both for he could 
live yet without either of them. 

I testify this to the truth, as witness my hand. 

Wm. P. Kuypers. 

Cornelius Suydam saith he heard Tunis Hoogland say that 
Solomon Froeligh had bought a watch of Abraham Schenck and 
that Mr. Froeligh went over the other side and returned after the 
war and he said that Mr. Schenck asked him for the money ; he 
told him he must take the watch. Mr. Schenck told him he could

not take the watch he had had it so long ; he Mr. Froeligh told 
him he should not have the watch nor the money. Mr. Schenck 
told him he could live without the watch or the money ; this 
conversation was about as he says three years ago or a little 
more. 

Johannes Kashow saith that Tunis Hoogland came to his 
house and told him he was willing to leave his dispute and Mr. 
Suydam’s to the Consistory ; he saith that he and Mr. Suydam 
went to Tunis Hoogland some time after and Hoogland then 
denied that he had said he would leave it to the Consistory but 
that he was not afraid to leave it to them. 

Barnt Snediker saith that being on the Marsh or Commons at 
South and Tunis Hoogland and his brother Cornelius he told him 
he wanted ail the grass for himself and Cornelius ; he asked him 
if Floyd had not grass enough for him ; he said no, Cornelius 
wanted a freight for himself but that Tunis had all the hay ; he 
says it was two years last fall. 

Peter Hegeman saith the same as Barnt Snediker he thinks it 
to be two years. 

Rem Hegeman saith that he and his wife being at Mr. Suy- 
dam’s, Tunis Ploogland and his wife came there ; his wife asked 
Mr. Hoogland if the wench came there if he would send word. 
Mr. Hoogland said if Mr. Suydam requested it he would. Mr. 
Suydam desired he would, he Mr. Suydam saith he has had no 
word. 

Jacobus Van Vorhis saith that he heard Tunis Hoogland say 
that the wench had served her time out, and would have nothing 
to do with her. 

To the foregoing charges Tunis Hoogland saith he is not 
guilty. 

Gabriel Duryea saith being present at the conversation be- 
tween the Rev. Wm. Kuypers and Mr. Hoogland, he the said Mr. 
Kuypers said that Mr. Froleigh frequented Courts and horse- 
racing and that he had money of the Congregation in hand. 
Tunis sayd that Mr. Froleigh had bought the watch of Abraham 
Schenck, and that Mr. Froeligh preached at Success and there he 
offered the watch to Mr. Schenck for he had no money to pay 
for the same ; then Mrs. Schenck made reply, let him keep the

watch he will pay for it some time or other, then Mr. Hoogland 
said Mr. Schenck had better take the watch than run the venture 
of the money ; he says the conversation was four years or more. 

Phebe Duryea saith the same as Gabriel except she says it was 
five years. 

Abraham Snediker saith that he and Mr. Hoogland was at 
Johnnes Kashow's the evening, the next morning Kashow’s son 
came to Mr. Snedikers and asked him if he remembered that 
Hoogland had sayd he would leave their dispute to the Consis- 
tory. Snediker sayd there was nothing said about the Consis- 
tory. 

Cornelius Hoogland saith that the hay cut on the Marsh he 
mowed for himself but after mowing his meadow he had more 
hay than he needed, he then sold it to Tunis Hoogland. 

Jerome S. Luister saith that he was at Mr. Suydam’s and Mr. 
Suydam told him he was advised by a certain person to complain 
of Mr. Hoogland. If it had not been for that he would not have 
complained ; the person was Johannes Kashow. 

Isaac Bogart one of the Consistory saith that Mr. Suydam said 
that Johannes Kashow had complained and Suydam was asked 
he sayd if it was worth notice he say’d he thought it was. 

The Consistory after Mature Deliberation : — 

Resolved that Tunis Hoogland ought in their opinion to be 
instated in the said office of Elder.

PAPER No. 12. 

[translation. ] 

To the Honorable Classis of Amsterdam, &c., Right honorable 
Fathers and Brothers in Christ. 

Right reverend Sirs. 

On the 8th of June this year have we the honor had to inform 
your honors, that we have received your favor an the 5th of June 
via St. John, with those to the called Coetus , and also to our 
four committies in the matter of Queens County. 

What new in the matter is done inform we you by this. 

That we have repeatedly striven with Mr. Ketteltas in conver- 
sation, and all that was in our power to do, to constrain him, 
and his error to understand, and to a right comprehension to 
bring ; that sometimes appears to be of good fruit, though at 
last his obstinacy revealed, so that we his taunting could not 
escape, as if we thought that the truth was alone in the Low- 
lands Church, and that we, blindfold followers of the opinions in 
point, the only wise generation of Czaars, &c. 

The effect on the community has been, that they separated 
from him and him released; that it a great breach has made in 
the community (in whose midst he yet abides), and only a few 
more being found who adhere to him, as proof got from the next 
call to this place, about which we little have to say, as that 
speaks for itself. 

This one nevertheless was by our desire, because the call was 
written by Domini Ulpearius Van Sinderen as consulting, and so 
the orderliness in the same is observed in the call. 

Nevertheless it was not meant, that the whole Classis was 
given the power for a preacher about to look, but the power 
only and alone to the deputy ad res extras was referred, and 
that to them the full power was given about after a capable sub- 
ject to look for, the which when found, to the Classis to repre- 
sent, and there by the whole Classis yet further given over 
must be. 



A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

Observe that the Congregation desire a speedy execution of 
this call, and we being conscious ot the difficult situation of the 
Counsel of Amsterdam, for a preacher to send, that so it might 
happen that there no fit opportunity in Amsterdam may be, that 
he there, via. London may be sent. 

For that the need of the congregation demand an all possible 
speedy forwarding. Whereto, we can not otherwise as from 
heart to wish, that God your undertaking bless, to the sending 
of a worthy person, in the fear of God, hazarding the answer to 
the congregations. And hereby, the way further opened maybe, 
for the mind of other congregations up to arouse, for preachers 
out of the fatherland to be sent. 

Inform we of our purpose in October to assemble in reference 
to the mentioned letter of the Honorable Classis, in expectation 
that we among, of it, yet further ontw should receive on the 
second pamphlet of Domini Leydt, and that of Domini Ritzema 
thereupon, as also what the missionary Hardenberg has edited. 
We must say that we in our expectations, have to hereto been 
disappointed, because Domini Hardenberg our language has yet 
to know with *intelligibleness, yet no single word with us com- 
municated, nor alone in his company was, although a few run 
after. 

We understand that it is not to his satisfaction, and the rumor 
got that Domini Leydt who now by us appears to have finished 

Note. — This letter in the handwriting of Do Rubel. 

* From Hoie’s Kingston Record. 

This circumstance will be better appreciated when it is stated that, upon 
the invitation of Domine Mancius in 1732, to become the colleague of Demine 
Vas, at Kingston, doubt was expressed in his call as to his ability to acquire 
the pronunciation of the Low Dutch language, so as to be understood in it. 
Therefore, “ continues the call,” in order to preserve unity, harmony in the 
Congregation, we make this stipulation in advance, that if you do not learn 
the Low Dutch pronunciation in the space of two years, and our people com- 
plain that they cannot understand you, then, in accordance with the Church 
constitution, the Reverend Consistory of the Church of Kingston shall assem- 
ble ecclesiastically in regard to this matter, assisted by two ministers of the 
Low Dutch Reformed Church of the Province, and if it is the sentiment of 
the majority that after the space of two years you cannot be understood by 
the Congregation in the Low Dutch language, we shall be released from our 
obligation in regard to the promised salary, and otherwise not.

the per tegers the Classis shall justly entertain, now already being 
opposed ; new demonstration of their obstinacy in their purpose, 
as those opposing just before the on coming of Hardenberg, 
three students in divinity have made, and people inform us that 
the opposition, those, with the first opportunity in the Congrega- 
tians shall import. 

In regard to that, the Congregation of Fishkill got to such a 
height that nearly the whole Congregation from the Consistory is 
afgescheurt. The majority of the Consistory members want a 
preacher there from Holland, that hardly so out of the com- 
munity with them can obtain ; one of these newly made Domin- 
ies will crowd in. What this doing will yet finally bring forth, 
the outcome shall teach, &c. 

Now this is certain, the teacher's eyes are coming open* and we 
perceive herein no disposition as which gives hope for declared 
independence and over all the Congregations with teachers be 
provided that the Constitution of the Lowlands Church firmly 
observe. 

One of our name in the spring the trouble inspected for the 
matter of fTappan to settle, by truly the ground to be laid by a 
written drawn agreement, but after the departure, became dis- 
persed on the Dominie's account, which was a right determina- 
tion, that where everybody throw over hope and the Domini but 
little more than the half of his salary received, and yet them- 
selves under the censure have laid. 

Two ships from Amsterdam, viz. Berton and Smith, be yet 
expected, with the which we hope to receive some advice, other- 
wise must we request that the Honorable Classis send us over 

•j- Domini Samuel Verbryck appears from the records to have been the 
preacher located at Tappan at this time. He was an enthusiast on the sub- 
ject of securing a College for the education of the Dutch ministers, and 
seemed to have devoted the most of his time for that end. 

Yet this very zeal for a literary institution, so necessary for the ministry, 
offended many of his people, so that they refused to pay salary to him. He 
also opposed all forms of prayer, and the celebration of the festival days, 
which conduct was then considered a great innovation. 

His efforts for a College were successful, as a charter was secured March 20, 
1770, for what is now Rutgers, at New Brunswick.'

writing, the cost what it will, that we next spring may meet, for 
the things here so possible to make straight, to the best of our 
present circumstances, arid it should be very good. So the 
Honorable Classis that of Albany thereto also love up to arouse. 
Dominie Westerloo being thereto well inclined, though his con- 
sistory appear therein no mind to have. 

Herewith must we now this end, in the hope and expectation 
that Jehovah God our strength, whose cause we intend to main- 
tain to the suppression of all disorder, and maintenance of good 
order in the midst of us ; and that the Honorable Classis, us the 
needful help not withold, but aid us with all her power, and then 
see we nothing otherwise to expect of all troubles this day shall 
speedily in these an end take.

fall of the Coetus to New York,” that, strictly speaking was not 
so. 

The copy not having the year on it, would lead one to suppose 
that the end of the troubles had been reached. The year was 
1 753- We have placed it last. It should have been between 
Nos. 2 and 3. 

The actual downfall did not occur until the third Tuesday of 
October, 1771, when the different factions “got together” — 
Coetus, Conferentie, Classis and Neutral — and a plan arranged 
for union. This plan was first to be submitted to the Classis of 
Amsterdam for her approval- A second convention was called 
for June 16th, 1772, when the approval of Holland was received. 

George Rapelye was chosen by the elders of Success to attend 
this last meeting. The following is a copy of the minutes, “the

PAPER No. 13. 

[translation. ] 

(The Indorsement.) 

The downfall of the Coeius in New York. 

To the Honorable Consistory of New York. 

The Honorable Coe/us has on proper deliberation, been fash- 
ioned according- to our Low Dutch Reformed Constitution, and 
taking at most to heart, the especial welfare and advancement as 
well as the enlargement of her kingdom situated in this remote 
province. 

For such a service to arrive at and practically to forward, and 
finding themselves by reasons convinced and in conscience 
necessitated, for to seek in a Classis to be formed. So to regard- 
ing the frequent fruitless and painful endeavors of the present 
Coeius, also in regard for the urgent reasons and necessity for a 
Classis. 

In the mean while, the Coetus no satisfactory reason can give 
out of Ecclesiastical Regulations for their present undertaking. 
It being just now neither Consistorial, nor Classical nor Synodical 
assembly, as such, there is contempt for without, and liable to 
confusion from within. 

That the Coeius has no power for the highest prosperity of the 
Churches to arrive at, to cause satisfaction to the Congregations 
of this place, can neither universal final utterance do, nor no 
candidate nor preacher make, besides the difficulty and length of 
the present proceeding, must the matter yet and again to one of 
the Classis of Amsterdam go, before anybody can come to the end, 
and then not yet (according to opposition), evidence the necess- 
ity for a Classis, whereby we the desires of most all the congre- 
gations shall attain, and their exemption from useless and great 
cost, to the sending over for youngsters for promotion, besides 
the loss of much time, and great danger for the subject, even as 
also the calling for those not being qualified to place, and thus to 
come before seeking promotion others of different persuasion 
from us, whereof already is an example with the High Dutch-

men that among- us could not by us be received, and with reason 
for more to fear forwards. 

Thus should we the C/assis be able and in condition, the com- 
plete business quickly to dispose of the Congregations with can- 
didates and preachers provide, and thus we shall the essential 
happiness promote with a benefit to the Churches obtain. 

With reasons thereof convincing, and desiring that object of 
the synod to help provide ; and in accordance with what the 
Synod proposes for the same with her consent to ratify. 

Accordingly were the Consistories and thereupon the Congre- 
gations on it kindly this agreed to and approved, and the same 
with their own hand to subscribed and bound themselves likewise 
thereunto to such a Classis about thereby to stand, and remain, 
and themselves to submit to the same orthodox utterance accord- 
ing to Ecclesiastical Rules, and that any of the on-coming minis- 
ters and consistorys this same to do. 

That the salutary intention, with Synod authority, a better 
service might obtain and her approbation may carry away. 

All this done in our Colonial Assembly to New York the ioth 
of September. 

Signed in virtue of all the names. 

Jo. Ritsema. 

P. t. Presus. 

We have quoted very largely from “Corwins Manual," and 
as we have brought the “Old People ” through their Ecclesias- 
tical warfare, we now turn to the Revolutionary War and quote 
further from the “Manual." 

“But the colonial period was about to end. A dark war cloud 
was beginning to loom up ominously on the horizon. The ‘Sons 
of Liberty’ were busily at work. Two months before the battle 
of Bunker Hill, the Church appointed a day of humiliation and 
prayer in behalf of the evils which seemed to be threatening the 
land. 

“During the mighty struggle the Reformed Dutch Church was 
in hearty sympathy with the cause of freedom. Her pulpits 
‘rang with stirring appeals, which roused the patriotic ardor and 
inspired the martial courage of the people.'."

44 The scene of the war was chiefly on the territory of the 
Dutch Church, and not a few of her church building's were de- 
stroyed, and their ministers were often driven from their homes. 
The Church memorialized the Legislature of New York in 1780, 
speaking of the just and necessary war. At its close, Domini 
Rube! was deposed for certain immoralties and for his Toryism.” 



A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



RYNIER VAN NEST. 

Was born Feb. 8, 1739 near North Branch, N. J. He was the 
son of Peter and Margaret (arienson) Van Nest. Licensed in 
1 773 * 

On Feb. 24, 177 6, he married Catherine Hagar widow of the 
Revd. J. M. Goetschius of Schoharie. 

The Queens County Churches, called him in 1773, but he 
declined. He preached in a number of places in the Wallkill 
Valley and while preaching in Schoharie, on March 7, 1785, a 
call was extended to him for the second time which he accepted. 

Jan. 8, 1797, he left, returned to Scheharie where he died, July 

9. 18:3. 

Mr. Van Nest was somewhat fleshy, very neat in personal 
appearance and in penmanship, a good speaker in Dutch and 
popular in the churches, but could never succeed well in 
English, as about this time the language was in a state of 
transition from Dutch to English. He and his wife, on account 
of their genial disposition were both favorites with the young. 

But the times in which he lived and labored, during and follow- 
ing the Revolution, were very unpropitious to ministerial 
success. He and his people were devoted Whigs, and he gave 
much to the Continental Congress.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



95 



In his extended field on Long Island, living at Jamaica, he 
set out from home with his sulky on Friday or Saturday, return- 
ing on Monday or Tuesday. 

He availed himself of the hospitality of his people, and made 
pastoral visits. He was fond of his pipe, and told long stories, 
which were eagerly listened to by the children. 

For three years the two pastors worked together alternating 
among the churches and giving a Sabbath service once in two 
weeks, to each congregation. 

In 1797, Mr. Van Nest accepted a call to Schoharie and left 
Mr. Kuypers in sole charge. 

As neither pastor nor churches took measure to call an asso- 
ciate minister, Classis at the beginning of this century 
summoned Mr. Kuypers, and an elder, from each church, to 
explain, why no one was called. 

The explanation given, was that as the parsonage at Jamaica 
belonged to the four churches, they were unable to separate and 
form new combinations, uutil that was sold. The parsonage 
was sold in May, 1801 for ^831 and the money equally divided 
among the four churches. 

The churches of Jamaica and Newtown in the following year 
called the Rev. Jacob Schoonmaker as the pastor of the two 
churches only, while Oyster Bay and Success were still depend- 
ent on Mr. Kuypers, alone, and consequently as he continued to 
give half of his time to the other two churches, these two had 
the pastor only one Sabbath in four. 

Here the history of this church and that of Jamaica and 
Newtown are separated. 

For ten years matters continued in this way. In r8io, Classis 
again demanded an explanation from Oyster Bay and Success. 
Teunis Hoogland and Thomas Dodge appeared before Classis 
and stated that the churches were losing ground, and threw all 
the blame on the preacher. 

A committee was appointed, who investigated and found that 
both pastor and people were to be censured. Classis further ' 
Yftted monthly supplies to the two churches, and again this 
church had preaching once in two weeks.

Brethren : — 

I feel disposed to purchase the place where I reside ; and if I 
fail in obtaining it as my own, I must look out for another situa- 
tion ; I am willing to give you for your half of it, five hundred 
pounds. I know it cost you more, but when you recollect that 
it is not very saleable, and moreover that houses and lands have 
greatly decreased in price, that it would suit neither a Farmer

nor a Mechanic!-:, that the sole prospect of sale should it be left 
unoccupied would be, that some wealthy person might buy it 
for a retreat for a family during the warm season ; that for the 
want of attention on the part of its owners, it is annually going 
into a state of ruin, and will most likely ultimately be productive 
of much loss to them, that probably one thousand dollars at 
least would have to be expended on the property to make it 
decent and comfortable, that a new Barn with other accommo- 
dations are requisite ; that the house and fences around it and 
the Garden want repairing and painting ; that other considerable 
repairs are now necessary ; and that the obligation to defray 
the expense of necessary repairs, as well as to pay taxes, should 
they be imposed, rests under existing circumstances on you. 
And when, besides you take into view the risk attending the 
Buildings, together with the incompetent support which $350. 
per annum has hitherto afforded me, the sum I offer you will be, 
I presume, judged sufficient. 

I wish your answer through individuals appointed to act in 
this business for the Congregation, the management of whose 
spritual interests is committed to you. 

I am with much affection, your’s 

David S. Bogart. 

P. S. I have addressed a similar letter to the Consistory of 
Oyster Bay ; and if you think proper, you can take measures to 
commune together on the subject of the proposition I have made 
to you. 

The letter is addressed to : — 

The Consistory of the Reformed Dutch Church of Success. 



The early recorded meetings of the Consistory were held on 
the following dates and presided over by the Minister (Dominie)

HENRY H EE R MANGE. 



One month after Mr. Bogart left Mr. Heermance was called 
(Sep. 10, 1826.) 

He was born at Nassau in 1801, graduated from N. B. Semin- 
ary 1826 and began preaching in the two churches as an evangel- 
ist. 

From a child he possessed a strong character, activity, self 
dependence, a spirit of inquiry and experiment, strong decision 
and energetic action. 

He was a sort of “ regulator ” among the turbulent of his day, 
a hammer of the unruly ; and was looked up to by the weak and 
defenseless as a patron and shield. 

He left June 3, 1827, Was stricken with apoplexy in the midst 
of his days and died in 1846. 

He married May 9, 1832, Caroline E. Laing of New York 
daughter of Edgar. She died Jan. 26, 1887, age 77, in New York, 
buried at Kinderhook. 

He greatly pleased the people and accepted a call. After a 
pastorate of less than a year, he suddenly and without a satisfac- 
tory reason, left his charge while a revival was in progress. 

Yet it must be remembered that he setteled against his will, 
believing his work to be that of an evangelist. Fie certainly was 
very successful as the record of admissions to the church will 
show. The people were greatly grieved at his departure, and 
many years afterward the old people spoke of him with loving 
and affectionate tenderness.

JAMES OTTERSON. 

He was born in New York in 1791. Was called to the two 
churches Dec. 29, 1827, was installed May 1 8, 1828, and left 
Nov. 13, 1834. He died, 1867. 

He w'as an able expounder of the word. In the ecclesiastical 
assemblies of the church, he had few superiors. 

Was of Scotch Ancestry, was spoken of as being a scholarly 
and polished gentleman. 

The temporal affairs of the church appeared to succeed more 
than the spiritual. He w T as relieved of his charge at a special 
meeting of Classis Dec. 1st 1834. A new' order of things tem- 
poral and spiritual takes effect about this time in the affairs of 
the Dutch Congregation of Oyster Bay. A Century, filled with 
events, wfith hardships, with wars, with troubles of many kinds, 
has passed away, and a new era has dawned for them. 

With his removal the two churches Dec. 1, 1834, separated.

ROBERT QUINN. 

He was the first minister called to the church after the 
separation. 

He was bom in 1798, and was a sailor in his younger days. 
Was converted at one of the Bethel Missions in New York. 
Graduated from the New Brunswick Seminary and was licensed

Staten Island, where he remained for many years. 

Jan. 31st, 1863, after performing his duties as Chaplain, he

old sailor, who, it is said, had revealed his past life crimes to 
his Chaplain, and now feared exposure. '

Ingalls then immediately shot himself. He was much given 
to mutterings and solitary walking, and his companions thought 
he had been a pirate and was troubled with remorse. 

Mr. Quinn married Mary Elizabeth Stoutenburgh, a daughter 
of William L. and Mary J. Dutton. 

She was born 1802, died June 1, 1891.

Accord, Ulster Co., N. V. 
Apl. 17, 1899. 

My dear Mr. S. 

Yours of Apl. 6th is received and 1 enclose statistics as you 
desire. Yes, I remember you when a boy and, I think, a sister 
younger than yourself; also your father, mother, grandfather and 
grandmother Luyster. I wonder if your mother is living, if so 
please give her my kindest regards. Is your sister living? 

In Oct. 1897, Mrs. McNair and myself drove to New Jersey, to 
N. Y. City, and out to Sea Cliff where my son, Wilmer, was 
summering with his family, but did not get into your neighbor- 
hood. I should have liked to spend more time thereabouts but 
could not. 

My present wife is a cousin of Revd. Walter T. Scudder’s father. 
Please remember me to any who may inquire about me. 

Yours in Christian bonds, 

J. L. McNair.

“3 

The meeting to dissolve the pastoral relations with Mr. 
DeBaun was held Oct. 4, 185 8. He died about a year after 
writing the following letter. 

Fonda, N. Y. 

April 8, 1899. 

Mr. H. A. S. 

My Dear Sir : 

It is so long since we have seen or heard anything of our 
old Long Island friends, that your note of the 6 th inst seemed 
almost like a message from another world. 

I do wish I could see you, — what a pile of questions I would 
have ready for you. 

I am just crawling out of a long seige of grip; am not able to 
go out, and handle a pen with much difficulty. My wife not 
very strong at the start, is worn out with her attentions to me, 
and has had to keep her bed almost altogether for the past two 
weeks, but our general health is and has long been excellent and 
we hope to be all right again in a week or two. 

Is your mother still living ? If so give her our love and say 
we often recall her and her kind aid before and at the time of 
our removal from our first house. 

There are scores of people I would like to ask about, but dare 
not, not knowing how many of them have passed on before us. 

With kindest regards to you and yours. 

Yours very sincerely, 

J. A. DeBaun. 



JOHN C. LOWE. 

He graduated at the N. B. Seminary in 1858. 

The call to O. B. March 2, 1859, was his first. 

He was unmarried. 

His ministry appears to have pleased the congregation, for on 
his dismissal April 2, 1863 the following resolutions were moved 
by Elder James M. Montfort, and carried. 

Whereas, our pastor has received a call to the Reformed Dutch 
Church of Rotterdam, and feeling it to be his duty to accept the 
same. 

Therefore Resolved, 1st That we comply with his request.

Resolved 2nd. That while we do so, we must be permitted to 
express and record our sincere regret that a providence should 
occur to prompt the above action. 

Resolved 3rd. That our pastor has our good wishes and our 
earnest sincere prayers that the blessing of the great head of the 
church should accompany him to his new field of labor and 
crown with abundant success his efforts to build up Zion. We 
bid him God speed in the master’s work. 



JEREMIAH SEARLE. 

Graduated from the N. B, Seminary in 1858. 

Was Chaplain of the 144th Regiment New York State Volun- 
teers, 1862-3. 

Was called to O. B. after April 2nd and before July 31st, 1863, 
when he was present at a meeting of Consistory. 

He was the son of the Rev. Jeremiah Searle and Mary Tomb, 
and born at Coxsackie, N. Y. Married Margaretta F. daughter 
of Peter Conover and Susan L. Robinson. She was born in Bruns- 
wick. They had no issue. 

He was dismissed April 24, 1866. 

The resolution accepting his resignation says, “ That with 
great reluctance and deep regret we accept.” 



JOHN H. SMOCK, 

He was the next in order. Was a graduate from the New 
Brunswick Seminary in 1866. 

Was called to Oyster Bay August 9, 1866. At a meeting of the 
Consistory held November 27, 1867, it was resolved that the Rev. 
John H. Smock and Daniel V. Weeks be appointed a committee 
to solicit subscriptions for building the Branch Church at Locust 
Valley. January 8, 1S69, John B. Luyster, Daniel V. Weeks and 
Daniel V. Smith were constituted a Board of Trustees to receive 
and hold the title for the property of the Reformed Church of 
Locust Valley. 

April 30, 1869, it was resolved, ‘‘That the Consistory approve 
of the project of building a Reformed Church at Jericho.” August 
26, 1870, the Consistory resolved, “That the Rev. John H. Smock,

Elder John B. Luyster and Deacon Wm. McKay act as Trustees 
of the New Reformed Church Building in process of erection at 
Jericho.” March 20, 1871, Mr. Smock was dismissed to accept 
a call at Readington, N. J. 



MINOR SWICK. 

May 6, 1871 the Consistory united in a call to the Rev. Minor 
Swick of Cato, N. Y. 

During the pastorate of Mr. Swick the church building was re- 
paired and changes made both inside and out. The expenses 
exceeded the amounts subscribed, about $1,000 and this amount 
was liquidated with the money received from the estate of Sam- 
uel Wanser, he having bequeathed it for that purpose. 

Mr. Swick’s annual reports were very full and covered the 
whole ground of church work. 

He presented his resignation on February 2, 1877, which was 
accepted on February 8th. 



JOHN A. DAVIS. 

Flis call was dated December 2, 1877. Mr. Davis had been a 
missionary to China but returned on account of illness. His 
voyage to China began January 9, 1869. Was stationed at Amoy 
in 1869-70, returning in November 1 870. 

Graduated from New Brunswick Seminary 1868. Fie was the 
son of Peter Davis, and was born in Ulster County, October 28, 
1839. Married August 5, 1868, Emma daughter of T. Sexton 
Wyckoff, born May 9, 1845. They had no issue. 

He was an active worker for the Church and met with a deserv- 
ed success. His resignation was accepted April 9, 1883. He 
was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Nyack, N. Y. where 
he died quite suddenly September 24, 1797. 

During his pastorate the Church celebrated its 150th anniver- 
sary. A portion of his historical discourse, delivered on that oc- 
casion, follows. 

“The relation of a pastor to his people has been likened to that 
of a father to his children, and of a husband to his wife, the min- 
ister being the husband of course, the church the wife. Viewed

in the light of this relation our gathering to-day has a peculiar 
significance. It is not often that a wife on her 150th birthday 
has the privilege of looking into the faces of — of her nine living 
husbands and none of them, either very aged or feeble. Such is 
the position of this church to-day. 

There are lands, where on some festive occasion a husband 
may gather all his wives around him in a reunion, but the lands 
are few, where the wife does this to her scattered husbands. 
When men have so many wives, we call it polygamy, when a 
woman has so many partners of her joys we may call it polyan- 
dry, though on this occasion, remembering the names of the ma- 
jority of pastors here I suggest that it be called polyjohndry. 

As the youngest and last chosen, it ill becomes me to say 
much in the presence of my predecessors, either of this church, 
as it is at present, or of those who preceededme. But two things 
may be safely said. You are very often spoken of and almost 
invariably with kindly words, and pleasant memories, yet your 
excellencies, have not in my hearing, been contrasted at any 
time with my faults and failings, 

I have heard of a strong minded woman, who had possessed 
more than the usual number of husbands, who, when any mis- 
understanding arose between her and her living liege lord, order- 
ed him to the graveyard to whitewash the head boards of his 
predecessors. 

This church has never imposed that task on me. 

Brothers — former pastors, when this people welcomes you to 
day, they mean it. 

It is a welcome of heart, more than of word and hand. 

In the name of our people, for we will be pastors alike to-day, 

I welcome you to the Old Church and charge of our love, and 
the people who though years of joy and sadness separated them 
from you, have ever kept your place sacred in their hearts.” 

Remembering the work of former pastors with this people the 
historian is constrained to say in the old Dutch motto of the 
church Eendraght macht Magi'* unity or pulling together as 
one makes strength. Whatever success the future contains for 
this church much of it will be due to the 'efficient and wise as 



l

117 



well as in general the harmonious direction and training of 
former pastors. 

To them belongs credit that will not nor can it be given, until 
Eternity reveals results, not only, but causes ; nor shall praise 
be witheld from the people themselves. As it is dangerous for a 
man to praise his wife in company, lest she become too proud 
to notice him, a sentence must suffice. 

In this congregation are people (may their kind become more 
and more numerous) who will bless any church or people, 
among whom their lot may be cast, and who will win and hold 
a pastor's heart, let' come what may, names need not be given, 
you will find them in the alphabet. 

Far be it from me to forget, that name, and might, that Spirit 
and love, that in and through all, has been restraining, guiding, 
controlling, strengthening, upholding and blessing this church 
during its 150 years of life. No, to the Triune God be all the 
praise. 

As we think of the human agencies we say “ eendraght mackt 
Magt” but then we look up and say, “ Jehovah Ntssi.” The 
Lord my Banner. 

The Lord Jehovah gave the victory and to Him the praise 
is due. 

The historian may be pardoned for suggesting two or three 
lessons from the history of the church, 

With our modern wisdom, we ask why did the founders of 
this church establish ft here instead of placing it where a village 
would grow up around it. This church was not begun to be a 
great centre, but a solitary Bethel where the pilgrim Jacobs 
might tarry and see Heaven open to them. 

Many now in God’s eternal Home doubtless look back upon 
this church and say, that was the gate of Heaven to me. The 
founders of this church meant it to give the gospel to their own 
souls and the souls of their posterity, and during the 150 years 
there have been in this church unbroken lines of the same name, 
the same family. Hegeman, Hoogland, Luyster, Monfort, Nos- 
trand, Remsen, Simonson, and Voorhees seem never to have 
failed.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 



They were among the founders of the church, and are among its 
active supporters and faithful members to-day. 

But from this humble Country Church have gone forth men and 
women to bless humanity and sustain churches elsewhere. It 
has been a humble fountain stream, but it has made glad the 
city of our God. 

It is not a grand history, there are not remarkable events in 
the record of this church, nevertheless it is the history of a 
people journeying toward God. 

In the years to come, between the now and the forever, this 
may ever be known as the little unnoticed country church. So 
on yonder coast there stands an unpretending lighthouse, kept 
by humble men, sailors pass and repass, and forget the light as 
soon as left in the distance behind. But what if that light should 
go out ? What if it had never been placed there ? Who can tell 
the shipwrecks, who count the value of the property destroyed ? 
Who number the lives lost on that reef or dashed out on yonder 
rock ? Who can portray the sorrows in hundreds of homes, as 
friends waited there for those who never came ? 

As a lighthouse this church has stood to direct the life voy- 
ages, here on the way of prosperity and safety. 

Who can tell how many fortunes would have been wasted, 
had not the church stood here ? Who can tell how many hopes 
would have been destroyed, how many hearts broken, how 
many fathers and mothers bending in hopeless grief over their 
ruined offspring, had this church not been planted here ? And 
though heaven contains but a few hundred souls, who by the 
light of this church have been directed to the port of safety can 
you estimate the value of this church ? 

The history has not been written, no mortal hand can pen it, 
nor human lips utter. But when we gather for the last, the eter- 
nal jubilee of Heaven, then the recording angel may read in the 
book of eternity the history and work of this church. 

There are however two paragraphs in its history that we can 
outline now. 

One reason given by the founders of this church, why it should 
be established here, was that the Dutch settlers were surrounded 
by free thinkers, who might lead their children astray.

One hundred and fifty years have passed and instead of one 
infant church, it has grown to nearly a score of churches, but 
where are the successors of the free thinkers that then seemed to 
far outnumber the professing Christians. They from a single 
handful. I have no unkind words for them, believing that they, 
with us, search after the truth. 

The difference between us is in this, they are seeking the 
truth away from Jesus Christ, and we search for it in Him. 
They are yet prosecuting an earnest, but alas ! a vain search, 
while we have found the truth, and on that these churches are 
built. 

Differ though they do, in form and ceremony and in lesser 
doctrines, yet Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian all 
alike have the same Bible, trust in the same Saviour, own the 
same Heavenly Father and seek alike the same Home. 

The old church looks upon them to-day as children. 

Many of them have gone from her home, her bosom, to the 
homes of others and to-day the old mother reaches out her arms 
to them and says, bless you my children. 

In whatever home you are, you have my love, my prayer. 

Some day we will all unite in our one home, where we shall 
know as we are known. 

After the release of Mr. Davis, the Consistory on Oct io, 1883, 
united in again calling the Revd. 

JOHN H. SMOCK. 

He accepted the call and continued to be the pastor until 
Apl. 27. 1897, when at his own request he was relieved because 
of his failing health. 

On June, 12, 1897, the church agreed to extend a call to

Ellen E. dau of Dana Bartholomew. 

B. May 21, 1873, at Ansonia. 

An opening; soon presented an opportunity for work in the 
mission field and Mr. Scudder hastened to avail himself of it. 
His letter of resignation was as follows : 

“ Believing it to be the will of our Heavenly Father that I should 
give up my labors among you, so as to go to our Mission in 
India and there preach the Gospel to those who know him not, 
I do, with the sincerest regret and sorrow hereby present my 
resignation to the congregation of the Reformed Church of Oyster 
Bay ; to take place on and after the 15th day of Oct. 1899. 

During my brief sojourn with you, I have grown strongly 
attached to you all, and it is with heartfelt sorrow that I have 
decided to take this step, but when the Lord directs me ? 
Punquestionably must follow. 

May he grant that in his wisdom, he will, in the near future 
lead a pastor to you, who by the proclamation of the Gospel and 
a godly life, will minister to all your needs and pursuade many 
more to enter the Household of Faith. 

There is but one regret I desire to give expression to, and that 
is with respect to those who have not as yet made the Lord their 
master. 

Many of you have been halting between two opinions ; others 
have been labouring and praying for you, but as yet you have 
not confessed FI is name before your fellowmea. 

The Consistory has expressed its approval that we should 
celebrate the Lord's Supper the last sabbath we are to be 
together ; will not many of you accept this opportunity to come 
forward, assisted with his strength and boldness, and receive 
Christ the Blessed Redeemer who gave himself for you ? 

May such be Flis good pleasure and may our feelings of 
sorrow, prompted by the fact that our ways must part, be 
changed into that Heavenly joy over the fact that many a soul 
has been united to its Master and God. 

Yours most sincerely and faithfully, 

Walter T. Scudder. 



Brookville, Sep. 24, 1899.

1675, Oct. Mary Case was fined £ 5 for interrupting Mr.

A letter to Samuel C. Thorne, 

From Adrian Luyster, 

East Woods, Sept. 15th, 1823. 

Respected Friend : 

I received your letter dated 18th of 7th month, stating that I 
was often brought to your rememberance and that you was will- 
ing to write a few lines to me in order if possible to open my 
understanding — You put the question if ever the Scriptures 
directed any man to follow them or to follow Christ Jesus. I 
answer; the scriptures of truth direct us to follow Christ Jesus; 
let us then both by precept and example manifest to the world 
that we follow him and manifest our love to him by living 
in obedience to his divine commands. As to the new covenant 
which our Lord made with the house of Israel and the house of 
Judah ; those were his chosen people and in all generations he 
has been pleased to manifest himself unto his own, as he doth 
not unto the world. Our Lord teaches his people by his spirit 
and in truth. God is a spirit and they that worship him must 
worship him in spirit and truth. We are taught by the sacred 
scriptures that we must try the spirits to see whether they be of 
God or not and a sufficient rule is laid down for us in his word. 
Ye are mine says Christ if ye do whatsoever I have commanded 
you. If ye love me keep my commandments. Now what are 
his commandments? Why he has commanded men everywhere 
to repent. Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish. Repent- 
ance towards God and faith in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 
are essentially necessary in order to our being saved. Christ’s

commands to his ministers were as follows. Go ye therefore J 
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father t 

and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost ; teaching them to observe l 

all things whatsoever he had commanded them ; and lo, I am I 
with you always even unto the end of the world. Behold the | 

promise and the threatenings are these ; he that believeth and is '% 

baptized shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be | 
damned. 

(Here follows thirteen pages of writing and he finally closes \ 
as follows.) 

And I thank God for the preaching of the gospel, which has | 

been accompanied by the salutory influences of the holy spirit | 

to my soul, and for his revealed word which has been accom- | 
panied by the same spirit ; the blessing always attends the use 
of the means when done in faith either for temporal or spiritual j 
blessing as much as the Lord sees best. 

I feel to regret, that my duty calls me to state that your un- 
belief of the truth, caused you to go to the house of God (where j 
his people were assembled for divine worship to renew their 
covenant engagements with their God, by eating and drinking at 
his table in remembrance of Christ, according to his divine com- l 
rnand) and in the time of divine services, with a faint and feeble 
voice, in order to interrupt, did cry out. “Come down thou 
deceiver.” All this did not have the intended effect, as him in 
whom you trusted is held bound and can go no further than he 
is permitted. Therefore your help failed you in the trying hour. 

I do heartily forgive you this, and pray to God for you, hoping 
for the future you will take heed to your ways and not trust 
such a spirit. I invite you to Christ, to him you may go and 
get your supply without money and without price. This from 
your friend and well wisher, Adrian Luister. To Samuel C. 
Thorne. 

Cedar Swamp, Mav 2nd 1828. 

The Consistory of both churches, met at Joseph Hegeman’s to 
see about a paper the consistory of North Heampstead had in 
their possession. The paper was by both parties, agreed to

CHRISTS CHURCH. 

Like a ship, see the church through the ocean she rolls ; 
She's freighted with grace and well mann’d out with souls ; 
Mid whirlwinds and tempests she sails through the world, 
While storms of temptations against her are hurl'd. 

She's bound from the world through the tempest she flies ; 
She mounts o'er the billows, is bound for the skies ; 

While Christ stands at helm, no danger she'll fear; 

Her captain and pilot knows which way to steer. 

She stops not to anchor in harbors below, 

But o’er life’s rough billows her true course doth go 
The highlands of Heaven she still keeps in view, 

Intends there to anchor and there land her crew. 

While hell and her legions around her doth roar, 

Like the waves of the ocean which break on the shore ; 
She runs her course onward nor heeds the alarm ; 

With Christ in the vessel, she smiles at the storm. 

The ebb tide of nature which feeds the Dead sea, 

And the Gulf of Confusion together agree 
To hinder her progress, her march to oppose, 

She spreads forth her canvass and outsails her foes. 

She’s hated by worldlings, despised by fools, 

Who sail the black sea till they shipwreck their souls. 

She kindly invites them their course to bewail, 

Yet tarries not for them, but spreads the more sail. 

She's rapidly sailing with strong gales of Love. 

And soon will strike soundings on fair coasts above ; 

Make the highlands of Heaven and enter the road, 

And anchor forever in the Kingdom of God.

In private and in publick life 
A friend to peace, a foe to strife.”

“ He was for thirteen years Supervisor of the Town of Jamaica 
— from 1874 to 1887 — and was chairman of the Queens County 
Board in 1881. He was a commissioner of highways from 
1869 to 1872, and justice of the peace from 1872 to 1874. In 
1886 he was elected village trustee and served for four years. 
He was also a member of the Village Board of Education and 
treasurer of that body. At his death he was treasurer of the 
local board of the Jamaica State Normal School, and during his 
nine years’ service as a member of that board — seven as secre- 
tary and two as treasurer — he performed a very valuable ser- 
vice, and one that contributed very greatly to the success of the 
institution. He looked after the affairs of the Normal School 
with as much care and attention as he devoted to his private 
business, and his associates say that his services, rendered free 
of all charge, were worth a salary of at least $1000 per year. 
The volume of the correspondence was very great. 

He was one of the oldest directors of the Glen Cove Mutual 
Insurance Company, and trustee and treasurer of the Jamaica 
Savings Bank.

He was one of the commissioners of Queens County that 
had a part in framing the charter of Greater New York and 
in carrying out the plan, and performed valuable services. He 
was the last of the charter members of Jamaica Lodge No. 546, 
F. and A. M., and one of the oldest village firemen, having been 
for a half-century a member of the department. He was one of 
the organizers of the Queens County Non-Partisan Taxpayers’ 
Association, and later of the Jamaica Citizens’ League. 

Mr. Brinckerhoff, when a lad but fifteen years of age, began 
his apprenticeship as engineer and machinist of the Long Island 
Railroad, and in two years’ time was given charge of one of three 
or four locomotives owned by the company. In 1854 he went to 
Syracuse, where he worked as a machinist in the shops of the 
New York Central Railroad; and the next year was made super- 
intendent of the construction and repair shops of the Indiana 
and Grand Rapids Railroad at Adrian, Mich. In 1S57 he 
returned to Jamaica, where he engaged in the grocery business, 
and by industry and thrift acquired a competency. He was 
a strong supporter of all worthy public enterprises in his native 
town, and a faithful and conscientious public official. He left 
his various offices wdth a high record for honesty and integrity.”

“ Ex-Assemblyman John Cashow died at his home in Mill Neck. 
He was the oldest Freemason in Brooklyn, being a member of 
Hohenlinden Lodge No. 56, and of Nassau Chapter, R. A. M. 
He was born at Brookville, L. L, December 30, 1817, and at- 
tended the district school until nearly attaining his majority. 
He removed to Brooklyn in 1835, where he became prominently 
identified with politics. 

“ He was an alderman for five years, and was chairman of the 
committee which recommended the resolution providing for the 
removal of the remains of the martyrs of the British prison-ships 
to their last resting-place. He was appointed harbor master of 
the Port of New York by Governor John A. King, reappointed 
by Governor P 2 dwin D. Morgan, and also by Governor Reuben 
E. Fenton. 

“Mr. Cashow had acted with the Republican party until the 
campaign of 1872, when he abandoned that party and followed 
Horace Greeley and the liberal party. In 1880 he was chosen 
supervisor of the town of Oyster Bay, a position he held for 
three years. In 1877 he represented the First Assembly Dis- 
trict of this county in the State Legislature. 

“ He was for many years connected with the Farragut Fire In- 
surance Company of Manhattan. Mr. Cashow was a volunteer 
fireman, the old Cashow Hose Company in Brooklyn being named 
after him, and with which company he was many years identified. ”

“ Sea Cliff, L. I., June 24, 1896. — The old Downing home- 
stead, which is said to have been built over two hundred years 
ago, has lately changed hands. It has become the property of 
Charles Nostrand of Brooklyn. The house is badly dilapidated, 
and Mr. Nostrand, who intends to live in it in the future, will 
have.it partly rebuilt, preserving as much of the old building as 
possible. The property is delightfully situated on Littleworth 
Lane, near the shore. Tradition says that the house was built 
almost two hundred and fifty years ago, but of this there is no 
authentic record, though a deed is still in existence showing a 
transfer of the house and land dated one hundred and forty years 
ago.”

“Resolved, That the Secretary be directed to transmit a Copy 
of this resolution to the Widow and Daughter at his earliest 
opportunity.” 

“E. Valentine, Secy. 

“Glen Cove Ins. Office, 

“4 th Mo. (April) 1856.” 

“Mr. Luyster, for more than thirteen years past, had been, a 
member of the Reformed Dutch Church of Oyster Bay, L. I., 
and witnessed a good profession by a conscientious and Christian 
life. During the last three years he had suffered much from 
disease, but was able for the most part to attend regularly upon 
the ministrations of the sanctuary. The end was not expected 
so soon by his family or friends, though he himself had expressed 
the conviction that it was near. It came at last suddenly — 
suddenly to us, but, we trust, it found him not unprepared. 
Though it left no time for the expression of his faith and hope in 
the dying hour, he had previously declared his readiness to 
depart, his entire resignation to the will of the Master. We 
sympathize sincerely with the afflicted family, for we too have 
lost a father in the Church, a brother in Christ Jesus. Yet we 
mourn not as those who cannot be comforted, for he is not lost, 
he has only gone before. 

“D. B.” 

“There is no Death! what seems so is transition; 

This life of Mortal breath 
Is but a suburb of the life elysian, 

Whose portal we call Death. 

“ In Loving Remembrance of 
“ ELIZA LUYSTER, 

“ Died March 10 , i88g . 

“A precious one from us has gone, 

A voice we loved is stilled; 

A place is vacant in our home, 

Which never can be filled. 



“God in His wisdom has recalled, 

The boon His love had given; 

And though the body moulders here, 
The soul is safe in Heaven.”

done by the emigrant Peter. A roller coaster was found in 
course of erection about fifty feet from the last resting-place of 
these old people, a road or pony track had been cut through it. 

“It seems a pity that such an old ‘landmark’ should be oblit- 
erated, but the writer has since been informed that the stones 
have been all carted away; and to use an old-time expression, 
‘body and bones’ have all been removed.

From Corwin’s “ Manuel ” : 

“About 1765, Dutch colonists from New Jersey began to pour 
into York and Adams Counties in Penn. They organized the 
church at Conowago, about three miles south of Gettysburg. 

“Among these were the Monf oorts and Cassats from Millstone, 
and the Bantas and Westervelts from Bergen Co., N. J. 

“The church at Conowago consisted of about 150 families. 

“About 1781 these colonists began a second hegira, and in 
1793 almost the whole congregation had moved away. 

“Attention is called to the first pamrjhlet of this History , 
where these Dutch people ‘folded their tents like the Arabs and 
silently emigrated.’ ”

(All bp. in Ja.) 

HANS JANSEN, from Noortstrant, emigrated to this country 
about 1639 with a family" of children. June 25, 1639, Hans 
Jansen of Rotterdam gave a note to Cornells Volckertsen for 32 
Carolus guilders. If his first wife came with him, she probably" 
died soon after, as he had a child baptized in the Dutch Church 
in N. Y., Dec. 8, 1641, and the mother was not present. Hans 
Janszen Van Noortstrant married, Nov. 29, 1652, Janneken Ger- 
rits Van Loon. Recorded with the record of marriage is this: 
“ Op't Sandt in de Maycrjc Van de Bosch ” (“Province of the 
Woods”). The witnesses to the above baptism were: Laurens 
Pietersze Noorman, Janneken Molyn, Stymtje Jans. He was 
called sometimes “Hans Jansen” and at other times “Hans 
Hansen.” Hans Jansen would seem to be his correct name, as 
that is the name attached to his will. From the record he seems 
to have brought one daughter with him, for on May 23, 1644, 
Hans Jansen, father and guardian of Marritje Hans, his daugh- 
ter, acknowledges to have bound his above named daughter to 
Philip Garritsen, tavern-keeper, for the term of three consecu- 
tive years, beginning on New Years’, 1645, ending on New Year’s, 
164S, to serve in the family" and to be provided and cared for as 
his own child, and to be taught sewing. 

July r 22, 1647. “ Barent Jansen from Ocholm aged about 36 

years and Flans Jansen from Noordstrant testefy and declair 
that it is true, that they" in the y r ear 1643 a t the beginning of the 
war, had asked Cornelis Melyms consent to take off from Long 
Island, maize belonging to the Indians. Thereupon, Melyn said, 
if you will do so ye may do so, but charged them not to take 
away r any maize if Indians were there. They" the affiants, with 
some soldiers, sailed across, observed Indians and did not take

any maize themselves, but think the soldiers took a small pouch 
of it in their canoe.” 

Oct. 24, 1663. He was a witness at the maxriage of his son 
Symon in Brooklyn.

of meadow upon the island, No. 1 (no valuation). Sworn to by 
Garret Hansen. 

Issue: 

No trace. 

From Bergen’s Early Settlers: 

Aug. 3, 1639. Gov. Kieft granted 100 morgens of land on 
the w'est end of L. I., lying within the present bounds of N. U. 
and Gravesend to Anthony Jansen, a Turk. The patent was 
dated May 27, 1643. 

Feb. 9, 1660. Anthony sold his patent to Nicholas Stillwell, 
up to this time the property was called the “ Turk’s plantation.” 

Feb. 28, 1664. Nicholas sold the patent to Fran?ois de 
Bruynne, after whom it was called “ Bruynnsburg.” 

June 4, 1665. Francois sold a part to Jan Janse Ver Ryne. 

Dec. 10, 1678, he sold the remainder to Barent Joosten and 
Jan Hansen of Bush wick. 

On page 55, Bergen says: 

“Jan Hansen, Bruyenburgh, emigrated in 1639 and took the 
oath of allegiance in Bushwick in 1687. Probably this is Jan 
Hansen (Van Noortstrand), an owner of Buyennesberg, hence 
the name.” 

By the compiler: 

This Jan Hansen is claimed by Bergen to have been a son of 
Hans Jansen from Noordstrant. This Jan Hansen sold his \ of 
the N. U. purchase, June 1, 1696. The oldest son of Hans Jan- 
sen (Jan Hansen) was dead Dec.513, 1692, as per the affidavit of 
his half-brother, Garret Hansen. 

Jan Hansen of Bushwick and Bruynnsburg would seem to have 
not been a Noordstrand at all, but rather a son of Hans Hansen 
Bergen of Bushwick (see Tunis Guysbert Bogaert). 

JAN HANSEN, youngest son of Hans Jansen and Janneken 
Gerrits Van Loon, m. Willemtje Van Boxum. He was the 
younger brother of Garret and Peter, as mentioned in his father’s 
will. Is said by Bergen to have settled in Hackensack, N. J.

Henry L. Nostrand of Ja.). Apl. 8, 1768, he united with his 
brothers in the deed to Charles Duryea of O. B. 

1782. On New Year’s night some robbers knocked at the 
door of John Skidmore, Fosters meadow, and asked for help, 
pretending their carriage was broken down. He could not call 
his negro Jack, for he was out, “keeping New Year’s.” 

John Nostrand, passing by at the time in his sleigh, noticed 
a man in the door, supposed to be one John Place, a shoemaker, 
who having seen some papers at Skidmore's the day before, 
thought they must be deeds for the place that Skidmore was 
about selling, and that he must have the purchase money by 
him. But he had not. 

They, however, carried off $40 in cash, some clothing, and all 
his linen, so that none was left for a winding sheet that was soon 
after needed. The things were hid in Clement’s barn. Skid- 
more used to keep his money hid under the tow of the nest of 
a setting hen over which a basket was turned. Three broods 
were hatched while the money was thus concealed under 
her. The robbers crippled the old couple badly. They cut the 
man and bruised the wife, thinking she would tell where the 
money was. 

Their granddaughter Phebe, aged eleven, crawled under the 
bed, behind a candle box. They hauled out the box, but did not 
discover her. 

A child through fright, crept between the feather beds.

GILBERT RIDER, son of John and Antve Van Nostrand, bp. 
in P. C., Ja.; m. Cornelia Creed. 

“Flushing, L. I., October 8, 1901. — Gilbert Rider died yester- 
day at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. H. A. Hendrickson, 
1 10 Madison Avenue, at the ripe old age of 97 years. Death was 
due to the infirmities incident to old age. 

“Mr. Rider was Flushing’s oldest resident. He was born in 
1805, in Jamaica South. His ancestors were Holland Dutch. 
His father, who, in 1819, sold his farm on the Rockaway road, 
lived to be 80 years old, and at his death the farm fell into Mr. 
Rider’s hands. The latter’s wife, Miss Cornelia Creed, who 
died in 1869, came from an old Long Island family, her ancestors 
originally owning all that section which now embraces Queens, 
Hollis, and Creedmoor, and the latter place w r as named in honor 
of the Creed family. 

“Mr. Rider’s memory was good, his recollection extending 
over nearly the entire century. He remembered incidents of the 
War of 1812, recalled the Mexican War,' the Civil War, and the 
Spanish-American War clearly. Mr. Rider was for many years 
a trustee of the public school at Queens, and w’as a member of 
the Presbyterian Church at Jamaica from boyhood, and was for 
many years a deacon there. 

“Mrs. Hendrickson, at whose home Mr. Rider died, is the 
only surviving grandchild. Six great-grandchildren survive 
also.”

MARTIN SCHENCK, of Fids., son of Roelof and Neeltje Ger- 
retse Van Couwenhoven, b. Jan. 2, 1661; d. May 2, 1727; m. 
(i st ), June 13, 1 686, Susanna Brinckerhoff, dau. of Abram and 
Aeltie Slrycker, b. about 1663; m. (2 d ), Apl. 1, 1693, Elizabeth 
Minnes, dau. of Minne Johannes and Rensje Feddans (who emi- 
grated with her father in Sep., 1663); Bergen’s Early Settlers , 
page 380, makes her a dau. of Minne Voorhies, but he was not 
m. until ijij — see Catlynte Nostrand; m. (3 d ), June 24, 1704, 
Jannetje Voorhies, dau. of Lucas and Catalina Hansen Nos- 
trand, b. Oct. 8, 1681 ; bp. Dec. 25, 1681 ; d. Apl. 17, 1758. The 
first two children by the second wife are named after his father 
and mother, and the next two after her father and mother. 

The name Rensje is peculiar and it has been changed many 
times. The later generations call it Ranche. If the reader 
cares to trace out the name through the Nostrand, Luyster, 
Voorhies, and Bogart families, it will be found to run back to 
“Rensje Feddans,” the wife of Minne Johannes. They emi- 
grated from Holland in Sep., 1663. She was the grandmother 
of Daniel Rapalye’s wife, Rensie Schenck. 

* “Hempstead, Sep. 2, 1903. — Once wealthy and a leader of society at 
Hempstead and throughout this section of Long Island, Miss Susan 
Schenck, who in her girlhood was noted for her beauty, died yesterday in 
the King’s Park Insane Asylum, penniless and alone. 

“A large portion of the Meadow Brook section was once owned by Miss 
Schenck and her brother, Selah Schenck. Through a series of misfortunes 
the property passed from their hands, and, with only a few thousand 
dollars left, the aged couple — Susan, seventy-one, and Selah, eighty-four — 
managed by great economy to live for years at their homestead, on the 
•comer of Franklin and Fulton streets, Hempstead. 

“Their slender means were exhausted a few weeks since, and the 
thought of being penniless in her infirmity so preyed upon the woman’s 
mind that she lost her reason. She was committed to the King’s Park 
Asylum for the Insane. 

“Her brother was committed to the Home for Aged Men at St. Johns- 
land, L. I.”

1743, and Joost in 1751 by certificate, at Redding or Readington. 

The Rev. Oscar M. Voorhees, of Three Bridges, N. J., sent to 
me the original of Kniertje Durje’s will for translation. 

A great many years ago Peter Monfoort and his wife, Margaret 
Haff, sold land in Wolf Hollow (now Brookville) and settled in 
Hunterdon County, N. J. Their daughter Kniertje married 
Joost Shomp (Schomp). 

It seems strange that a paper of this kind should have been 
preserved for 174 years. It is curious enough to delight the 
heart of any one interested in family history. 

“On this day, the 4th of May, 1728, I, Kniertje Durje, widow 
of Joost Durje, realizing the certainty of death and the uncertain 
time and hour; from duty belonging to a healthy life by God 
liberally bestowed, wills to dispose of her worldly estate.

“ In the first place and before all committing her needy soul to 
the Lord’s merciful protection through the blood of the Bride- 
groom Jesus Christ, and her body to the earth wherefrom the 
same to come is, and expecting the blessed resurrection to eter- 
nal life. 

“Firstly: Because Femmetje no setting out has had, shall 
have the cow with her belongings, the bed, bolster, two pillows 
and hangings and one new white coverlet, two sheets, and one 
pair of pillow cases, the great Bible and there above in money 
beforehand five pounds, with the parlour suit, the silk plaited 
apron, this make I to my eldest daughter, Femmetje. 

“ Joost Shomp, his daughter Kniertje, she must the silver cup 
have and two pounds in money. 

“Femmetje’s son Nicholas must have in money three pounds 
because Kniertje godmother of him is. 

“Jocham P. Tehunn’s daughter Catrvna she must also three 
pounds have, because I godmother of her be. 

“Further, so shall all the children equally share, to wit, the 
three feather beds. 

“Also was this forgot, that Joost Shomp, his wife Margrietje, 
she shall the looking-glass have and the copper pail and the 
Church Book with the silver clasps. 

“My Will and Testament and all where-unto and wherein all 
solemnly order to be observed and hold it after for legal and 
binding. 

“Done at Boswyk the date as above. 

“[Actum, Bosivyk, Den datum ut Supra.] 

“[Note.— This is added.] Jochom Ver Tehunn’s femmetje’s 
Catrina, one silver spoon as a gift. 

“[Signed] KNIERTJE DURJE, 

“of Jose Durje. 

“Signed, sealed and up to be delivered in the presence of us, 
“Johannes Schenk, 

“Maddalena Schenk.’’ 

Of the many Durvea records which I have gone over, I have 
never seen where a Joost Durje had a wife named Kniertje. She 
being of Boswyk, and the date, 1728, would indicate that she 
was the second wife of Joost the emigrant.

The first reference regarding the name was found in O’ Calla-

Patroon Van Rensselaer was one containing the names of the 
settlers in Rensselaerwyck from 1630 to 1646: 

1638. Jacob Jansen Nostrandt. 

1646. JACOB JANSEN from Stoutenburgh. 

Very little is recorded of the man from Stoutenburgh. 

Marritje, dau. of Hans Jansen Noordstrandt, married, about 
1650, Juriaen Westphael, and settled at Kingston, where they 
had a number of children baptized. He died about 1667. She 
then married Jacob Jansen (sup.) Stoutenburgh. 

Aug. 18, 1663. The Council of War at Wyldwick concluded 
to send a party three miles from Wyldwick to some plantations 
of Esopus Indians, planted with maize; whereupon Ensign 
Niessen was sent thither with fifty-five men. They went forth 
from Wyldwick about ten o’clock at night, and had a Dutchman 
named Jacob Jansen Stoutenborgh for a guide. 

What relation he bore to Peter, whose record we have, is not 
known.

“Resolved, that the Trustees (if they can) get a conveyance 
of the ground for said building from the heirs of Luke Stouten- 
burgh, Esq., deceased.” 

He received from his father, that portion of the estate lying 
between lands given to Tobias and William, the creek bounding 
on the north, while on the south were lands of Jacobus, Jr. 

An abstract of title says this deed of gift was made in 1758 
and confirmed by will. In 1791 this farm was divided by com- 
missioners into 42 lots and apportioned among his heirs; two 
lots comprising the mansion and its environments being left un- 
divided. It was this division and the establishment of a church 
that was the foundation of the village of Hyde Park. 

Luke lived in the stone house built by him or his father on 
the brow of the hill at the end of an avenue of cherry trees lead- 
ing from the post road, now known as Market St. 

It was visible from the river and in 1777 the British vessel 
passing to bum Kingston, fired at the house. The house was 
taken down in 1872 to straighten the road. (See Smith’s History

“Nathaniel Kalsey Suydam died at the home of his daughter, 
Mrs. Pitt, on 99th Street, Fort Hamilton. He was born at 
Centerport, L. I., nearly ninety years ago, and his father was 
the late John C. Suydam, a veteran of the war of 1812. For 
over forty years the deceased lived in Babylon, where he fol- 
lowed his calling as a farmer. Twenty-five years ago, when his 
wife died, he retired from active business, and nine years later 
he went to live with his daughter. Mr. Suydam was a wonder- 
fully active man for his years. Until the day before his death 
he had not experienced a day’s sickness in forty years. Yester- 
day morning he had a stroke of paralysis while sitting in his 
chair, and owing to his advanced years could not withstand it. 
He leaves two daughters, three sons, number of grandchildren, 
and four great-grandchildren. To-morrow morning the remains 
will be taken to Babylon, his old home, where the funeral ser- 
vices w 7 ill take place.”

daughter of Jacob B. and Phebe Hewlett of Cedar Swamp, now 
known as Glen Head. Cedar Swamp is the source of the stream 
of water which flows from that locality through a winding valley 
of picturesque beauty to the Glen Cove lakes, and thence into 
the waters of Hempstead Harbor. 

Mr. Titus had been a director in the Glen Cove Mutual Insur- 
ance Company for forty-four years. Pie had been the president 
of this company for ten years, having been elected to that office 
in 1893. His aid in the establishment of a permanent location 
for the Queens County Agricultural Society was invaluable. His 
tastes were largely toward agricultural pursuits, and he en- 
joyed the summer and the autumn fairs at Mineola with keen 
relish.

“Mr. Henry A. Stoutenburgh: 

“ Dear Sir, — While looking over the Fishkill Times yesterday, 
I saw a piece from you in regard to your visit to Fishkill last 
fall. I happened in the village the same time. Cousin James 
Dean sent for me to come in the bank. I met you there. He 
wanted to know what I knew in regard to the Van Nostrand 
family, which was very little, as I was taken by surprise and at 
the same time had considerable on my mind, as I am a poor 
lone widow with a farm. My mind was not on my ancestors. 
He said you had as far as George, who married Hilche Dorland, 
that was my great -great-grandfather. He bought and settled 
on the adjoining farm to mine — then the town of Fishkill, now it 
is the East Fishkill division— but what year I do not know as the 
family now owning it have not the old deed. George had two 
children, Joseph and Helena. Helena married late in life a 
widower, Abram Du Bois of Glenham. Joseph married Elizabeth 
Mead and staid on the father’s farm. They had six children. 
George (my grandfather) , Phebe Ann (Mr. Dean’s mother), Sarah, 
Helen Maria, James (Mrs. F. R. Benjamin’s father), and Cath- 
erine. After their father’s death the farm was sold to settle the 
estate. The children remained in the town of Fishkill and East 
Fishkill except two, Catherine, who married Doctor John Clapp 
and moved first to Ohio, then different parts of the west; Helen 
Maria married an Adams and went to Ohio in 1835. 1836, they 

bought a farm of 86 acres for $600 in Berkshire township. I 
have the first letter she wrote home — is the reason I am able to 
give these dates. George (the second as I call him, was my 
grandfather) married Lavina Gildersleeve (who was of Long 
Island family). They had two children, both boys; the first

died in infancy, the second, Joseph Henry (was my father), born 
December 1st, 1827, died February 29th, 1884. He married 
Mary Elizabeth Berry, June 9th, 1858. They had two children, 
Mary Lavina (that is myself), born May 28th, 1859, and Francis 
Seymour, bom August 9th, 1861. He married Harriet N. Page 
of Syracuse, November 30th, 1897, and on October 5th, 1898, 
they had a son which I was allowed to name. It being the only 
one except my brother of the original Van Nostrand family, I 
thought it should be named after the first Van Nostrand we 
knew of, so I called it George and they added the Page to it. 
My brother lives in Syracuse, 203 Borden Avenue. He is a 
postal clerk running from Syracuse to New York. This is all I 
know in regard to the V. N’s. Mr. John P. Lounsbury of Wap- 
pinger Falls has the V. N. bible, which has the dates, no doubt. 
I think I told you of its whereabouts. I have the watch that 
belonged to the first George, it has his initials on the back; also 
a chair made by him, even the seat is leather, his own tanning, 
and the tacks were made by him. I believe he was a black- 
smith. It is as good as when made; the second George put 
rockers on it and it has always been in the living room, as it is 
very comfortable. The first George carried on blacksmithing 
with his farm, his son Joseph was only a farmer, the second 
George and Joseph (my grandfather and father) were both 
wagonmakers and first class. They also had a farm (small one). 
Father learned my brother the trade, ■which he worked at some 
before going in the mail service. A few years ago my 
brother received a letter from a Van Ostrand in South Haven, 
Michigan. I think his name was Stephen. He had a drug 
store in South Haven, and a son Robert in the post-office at that 
place. He was bom near Kingston this State, but moved out 
there. When in this state they spelled their name the same as we 
with two n’s. He was quite positive we were of the same family. 
He had his family tree and offered to send it to my brother, but 
we knew nothing before George, who married Hilche Dorland; 
I have heard George was of a family of ten children and he came 
from Long Island to D. C. ; so my brother did not send. If you 
are still collecting, this one at South Haven has his family tree, 
and perhaps you would know whether we "were a branch of that

same tree. He wrote my brother it would be no disgrace to be 
a relative, a distant one at any rate. I am very sorry he has 
lost the letter. I do not know as any of this will interest you 
in any way. Should you at any time have a chance I would be 
pleased to know of my V. N. ancestors before George & Hilche, 
and should you have it in print please let me know. I was 
always very proud of my name Van Nostrand, although I gave 
it up before I was eighteen and my husband only lived three 
years. He had consumption, was sick about eighteen months. 
I still live on the farm and own it; the only burying since 1762 
was after my husband’s death. I bought his brother out and 
the old Van Nostrand homestead is the adjoining farm. I have 
told all I know and you will really be tired and need rest. After 
I saw your piece yesterday I thought perhaps the family at 
South Haven might be a branch.

JACOB JANSEN NOSTRANDT, emigrated to this country in 
1638 (O’Callaghan’s History of New Netherlands , vol. i., pp. 
433, 441) and settled in the colony of Rensselaerwyck, where 
Jacob Jansz Van Nostrandt, on May 21, 1652, took the oath to 
the Patroon. The immediate locality was in the south eastern 
comer of the now Saratoga County, at a place called “Halve 
Maen,” or Half Moon, as his daughter Jannetje on the marriage 
record stated that she was bom there. He was by trade a 
brewer. 

Munsell’s History of Albany , Deacons account book, Dutch 
Church, Albany. — The book opens with an inventory of the 
investments of the surplus money in the hands of the consistory 
belonging to the poor. 

“Aug. 16, 1651, Jacob Janse Van Norstrant, 72 guilders.

patent for land in Albany in 1652, as Jacob Janse Van Nos- 
trandt the brewer; had- a patent for a lot on the east comer of 
Beaver and South Pearl Street, 9 rods by 81 . This plot seemr 
to have been divided into three smaller parcels, Nos. 1. 2, 3. In 
1680, he conveyed No. 1 to Hendrick Gerritse Vander Meulen.

On the same block on Beaver Street, and at the other corner 
adjoining an alley on lots 5 and 6 was his brewery, which he sold 
in 1654, to Rutger Jacobsen, alias, Rut Van Woert, viz: Jacob 
Janse Van Noorstran’s brewery and lot in Beaver Street, except 
the Horse Mill and brewers tools (nearly opposite the present 
Middle Dutch Church). In 1656 he was appointed inspector of 
beer barrels. 

June 7, 1663, occurred the massacre at the Esopus, when 
Jacob the Brewer appears to have been present. In Aug. and 
Nov. of that year he was present at two baptisms in Kingston 
as getuigenis. In 1676 Jacob Jansen signed a petition of the 
Inhabitants of Esopus for a minister. The Dutch Church was 
founded in Beverwyck, or now Albany, about 1640, and was the 
only one north of Esopus having a permanent ministry, until 
after 1700, save that of Schenectady. Unfortunately the rec- 
ords of the Albany church previous to 1684 are missing, or some 
particulars of the baptism of his children might have been found. 
From the records of the Dutch Church of Kingston and New 
York he appears to have had issue:

Jacob Jacobse, m. Annetje Croesvelt.

and possibly Pieter Jacobsen, the miller of Esopus. There was 
a Peter Van Noortstrandt in Hurley, who took the oath in 
1687 as being an inhabitant for 29 years, and the record of this 
Pieter is being compiled by Mr. N. J. Ostrander of New Dorp, 
N. Y.

ground was bought for the Dutch Church. The boundary was 
described as beginning 3 rods east from the well of Jacob Van 
Nostrand. His will dated Sep. 19, 1769; proved Nov. 15, 1770

town, Montgomery Co., N. Y., where they settled on a farm, 
improved it, and planted an orchard. (I can remember eating 
fruit in it in 1834. — H. V. O.). He was a justice of the peace for 
many years. Died on the farm. About this time the name was 
changed from Van Northstrand to Van Nostrand. The Tarry- 
town record is “ Noortstrand.” The old homestead farm was 
about five miles north of Johnstown, Montgomery Co., now 
Fulton. 

(By H. V. O.). — I learned from one of my uncles that William 
was one of a family of 18 or 19 children, and made spinning- 
wheels. William the son was drafted to help guard the neutral 
lines between the two forces. His squad vras surprised by the 
British and taken prisoners, and he was confined in the old City 
Hall in N. Y. for eleven months, where he contracted the small- 
pox, and was taken to the pest hospital. He was exchanged and 
sent home at about the close of the war. 

He had a cousin or near relative who lived near him by the 
name of Aaron, and my uncles often visited him, and always 
called him uncle Aaron. 

(By the compiler). — This Aaron was probably the son of 
Moses, mentioned elsew r here as Aaron of Connecticut.

capable teamster he w*as sent to Hempstead, L. I., from whence 
it was his duty to convey provisions to the English ships which 
lay at anchor near Lloyd’s Neck, L. I. One dark night Vernon 
deserted and found a home with a Quaker family named Jack-

Letitia Pool, of Brooklyn, and began farming, and subse- 
quently purchased the farm in East Norwich where he lived 
the remainder of his life.

“Francois De Bruynne, b. 1629, emigrated from Amsterdam 
about 1647, and at first settled in N. A., where he was a member 
of the Dutch Church prior to 1660. He married (i st ), Aug. 
17, 1657, in N. A., Catharine, dau. of Caspar Varleth. Married 
(2 d ) Anna De Sille. See Bergen’s Early Settlers , page 86, and 
154, 155 ; also this publication, name Jan Hansen. 

“Jan. 26, 1654. Cornelis van Tienhoven in quality as Schout 
of this City of New Amsterdam, appeared in Court and made an 
ex officio complaint of the illegal proceedings of the Court of 
Gravesend in setting up and affixing the bans of matrimony 
betwixt Johan Van Beeck and Maria Verleth, both of whom 
have their domicile in and about this City of New Amsterdam, 
and are not published, in accordance with correct practice of 
the ecclesiastical and civil order in this City, so that the afore- 
said proceedings greatly tend to the infringement on the good 
policy of our Fatherland and the privilege and jurisdiction of 
this City, and prepare a way, whereby hereafter some sons 
and daughters, unwilling to obey their parents and guardians, 
will, contrary to their wishes, secretly go and get married in 
such villages or elsewhere; he requests, that the Court give 
heed hereunto, and take such action as their Worships shall 
judge proper, to maintain jurisdiction and prevent unlawful 
marriages. 

“The Court referred the matter to the Honble Director 
General and Supreme Council of New Netherlands.” 

Letter to the Court at Gravesend: 

“Kind Friends: 

“Whereas on this date the io lh of Feb 1654. by petition pre- 
sented to our Court by Johannes van Beeck, he requests, that 
his bans with Maria Verleth may be entered and be properly 
proclaimed here, and we have understood, that the same Jo- 
hannes van Beeck and Maria Verleth had previously to this made 
proclamation of their bans through your Court at Gravesend, 
which (under correction) is contrary to the style and laws of our 
Fatherland, it is our request to your Honorable Court, in case 
such a circumstance should hereafter occur, that we may be 
informed thereof in order to prevent on one side and the other 
all improprieties, which we on our part engage to -do in like

manner, especially as it is usual, according to the custom of our 
Fatherland, that every one shall have three publications at the 
place, where his domicile is, and then he may go and be married 
wherever he pleases : wherein we are and remain 

“Arent van Hatten. 

“By order of the Burgomasters and Schepens of the City of 
N. Amsterdam. 



“Jacob Kip, 
“Secretary.” 

“Feb. 16, 1654. Caspar Verleth and Johannes Van Beeck 
appeared in Court, and prayed most earnestly, that disposal 
may be made of the petition and remonstrance concerning the 
marriage between Joh van Beeck and Maria Verleth, presented 
to the Burgomaster and Schepens. As the Bench is not com- 
plete, it is postponed until Thursday next, so as in the mean- 
time to notify the other gentlemen.” 

“Feb. 19, 1654. Johannes Van Beeck appeared in Court 
and requested as before, that action may be had on his petition, 
offering furthermore in time and on occasion, if necessary, to 
affirm at all times under oath what he has stated in his petition 
respecting the private conversation with the Honorable Petrus 
Stuyvesant. Burgomaster and Schepens of this City having 
seen and examined the petition presented to our Court on the 
10 th and 16 th of Feb, regarding the bans of matrimony between 
Johannes Van Beeck and Maria Verleth, therefore it being noted 

“First. Who in the beginning instituted marriage; also, 
what the Apostle of the Gentiles teaches therein. 

“Secondly. The proper and attained ages of Johannes van 
Beeck and Marya Verleth. 

“Thirdly. The consent of the father and mother on the 
daughter’s side. 

“Fourthly. The distance and remoteness of places between 
this and our Fatherland, together with the difficulty between 
Holland and England. 

“ Fifthly. The danger that in such circumstances, matters 
by long delay might come to be disclosed between these afore- 
said young people, which would bring disgrace on both families, 
as well on one side as on the other.

“ ’T is true that our Theologians say, and that correctly, that 
we must not tolerate or permit lesser sins, in order thereby to 
avoid greater ones. 

“Therefore we think (with due submission) that by a proper 
solemnization of marriage (for the Apostle to the Hebrews calls 
the marriage bed honorable) the lesser and greater sins are 
prevented. 

“Therefore the Burgomasters and Sehepens of this City are 
of opinion, that the proper ecclesiastical proclamations of the 
aforesaid young people ought to be made at the earliest oppor- 
tunity to be followed afterwards by their marriage. 

“Done at the session aforesaid in the City Hall, New Am- 
sterdam, in New r Netherlands this 19. Feb 1654. ” 

Signed by seven members of the Court.
