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

“Flushing, L. I., October 8, 1901.—Gilbert Rider died yesterday at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. H. A. Hendrickson, no 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 was named in honor erf 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 was 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.’’

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 emigrated 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.”

JOOST SCHOMP, m. Kniertje (Cuniarte) Monfoort, dau. of Peter and Margaret Haff ; bp. May 3, 1719, at Ja.; she d. before May 31, 1771. She was received as a member on confession in 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.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

“ In the first place and before all committing her needy soul to the Lord’s merciful protection through the blood of the Bridegroom Jesus Christ, and her body to the earth wherefrom the same to come is, and expecting the blessed resurrection to eternal 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 ICniertje, she must the silver cup have and two pounds in money.

“Femmetje’s son Nicholas must have in money three pounds because ICniertje 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.

“ of Jose Durje.

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

“Maddalena Schenk.”

Of the many Duryea 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’Callaghan’s History of New Amsterdam. Among the papers of the 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 Plans Jansen Noordstrandt, married, about J650, 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.

It was this division and the establishment of a church that was the foundation of the village of Hyde Park.

“Nathaniel Kalsey Suydam died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Pitt, on 99th Street, Fort Hamilton. He was born at Centerport, L. L, 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 followed 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 wonderfully 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 services will take place.”

“ 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. Fie 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 how owning it have not the old deed. George had two children, Joseph and Flelena. 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 Catherine. 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; Plelen 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, born August 9th, 1861. He married Harriet N. Page of Syracuse, November 30th, 1897, an d 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. Pie 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. 1 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 blacksmith. 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 Plaven, 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 born 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.

The immediate locality was in the south eastern ’corner 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 born there. He was by trade a brewer.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

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 records 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:

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.

(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 Tarrytown 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 was 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 smallpox, 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 elsewhere as Aaron of Connecticut.

When Philadelphia was in possession of the British forces Vernon was “pressed” into the service of the English army, and being a capable teamster he was sent to Hempstead, L. I., from whence it was his duty to conve}^ 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-son, of Svosset, L. I. After the war John Vernon married Letitia Pool, of Brooklyn, and began farming, and subsequently purchased the farm in East Norwich where he lived the remainder of his life.

“’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.

SUCCOCPS WIGWAM.

The Indians had a headquarters in Wolf [Wolver] Hollow and there has been much speculation as to just where it was located. In 1721, Jurian Haff bought land near Succoo’s Wigwam; and when the church was built it was located near the dwelling place of Jurian Haff. His house was at the foot of the hill near the residence of John L. Bogart.

July i, 1734, a, number of citizens complained to the Tov/n Committee that “Josias Latting doth stop and hinder the creatures from having access to a spring located near Succoo’s Wigwam. ” Any person at all familiar with Wolver Hollow will readily locate the spring as being near the schoolhouse and on the premises formerly owned by the late Garret Maybee.

Among the papers of Judge Jacobus Hegeman, the Compiler found a non-executcd deed of the premises, which is as follows:

Dated, 1811. John Peters of North Hempstead and Cornelius Van Cott of Oysterbay. Consideration, $2,812.50. To Nicholas Mabee of Oysterbay, all that certain houses, buildings, and sundry lots of land lying in Oysterbay, being the property of Nicholas Van Cott, deceased, late of Wolver PIollow, on the west by the road and common that leads through Wolver Hollow, on the north by the road that leads from Wolver Hollow to Norwich and by Johannes Kashows land, on the east by the said Johannes Kashows land, and on the road leading from Isaac Remsen to Norwich, and on the South by the road from Barnt Snediker’s barn to Isaac Rcmsens, one other piece lying in Wolver Hollow

between the highway and the “springs.” Bounded on the South by a lot of land lately belonging to Henry Monfoort, on the West by the highway that leads through Wolver Hollow, East by the common aforesaid. It being a triangular piece of land. This “spring” has been a “bone of contention” for many years. A daughter of Garret Maybee (Mrs. W. H. Simonson) said that when she resided there, the spade and the plow often revealed relics of Indian occupation. The present owner claims for the spring, the possession of valuable medicinal qualities, and he informed the writer that a short time since, while making an excavation between the hills, he dug out a number of Indian arrow heads and also a pestle, which was used for pounding Indian Corn.

What more natural that Succoo should locate his camp in this secluded valley near a spring, whose waters never fail and surrounded by sheltering hills, covered with a dense growth of ■cedar trees; as many of them are to this day.

Perhaps the name Succoo’sWigwam had been attached to the place for many moons. He might have been the Indians’ Washington or Lincoln.

. The Indian who entered into the real estate deal with the white people, and sold his birthright for a mere trifle in 1685 was called Sucaneman, or Rumsuck.

The last Indian Wigwam v-as located near the old house of Johannes Simonson and its occupant was called “Quamee,” occasionally in these days w r e find a mixed Indian or half breed. There is one of them, now employed, by Mr. Alfred Hoogland at Cedar Swamp.

June 4, 1683, Caleb, John and Edmund Wright and their Father and Mother, Nicholas and Ann Wright, Josias Latting, Nathaniel Coles and Robert Coles, agreed to divide the land, which the Compiler presumes they had received under the Indian deed, and which was located; some of it in Wolver Hollow.

In 1.738 the place was designated as the Hollow. At many of the Town Meetings in after years, it was called Wolver. Wolver Hollow is a valley of about three miles in length. The road from the church running about south east and connecting at the upper end with Mutton Town, and a road running south connecting

with Wheatly, going north from the church, the hills are higher and nearer to the highway. A short distance is or was Succoo’s Wigwam. Continuing through the Hollow we come to a cross road leading north east to “Billy Hewletts Mill Pond,” and west to Cedar Swamp. This cross road is about the limit of the PIollow. Going farther north the valley terminates in “Beaver Swamp. ”

A little north of the Wigwam is another road leading out of the Hollow eastward, to Poverty liollow, through Stony or Stormy Town. To the south from the springs the road mentioned as from the barn of Barnt Snedilcer crossed the hollow on the north side of the Dutch Burying yard. Some traces are still left. The Turnpike farther south taking its place.

An old tradition says, that on the farm owned by the late'John B. Luyster, there was a pond located between the hills, to which, in the early times, the wolves used to come down to drink. We may suppose, the name to have been derived from that tradition.

When the church was built in 1732 to 1734 there was no name attached to any of the church records, except the taking of the name of the Town “Oysterbay. ” The old names have been pretty well done away with. Wolver Hollow, is now Brookville; Lucum, is Jericho; Cedar Swamp, is Glen Head; Mutton Town, is Spring Hill. The refuge of the Old People has lost its seclusion and quietness, and the two hundred years that have passed, have brought into the territoiy many changes in the objects and places they dearfy loved.

Peter Hegeman, who continued the Diary after his father, died at the ripe old age of 94, unmarried. Peter Luyster, grandfather of the compiler of this work was one of his executors.

There is a curious history connected with this Diary which is noted elsewhere.

The first of the Hegeman family connected with the Dutch congregation of Oyster Bay was Adriaen, who is supposed to have been at one time the owner of West Island, now occupied by Charles A. Dana. Adriaen’s son Adriaen was the author of the foregoing Diary. For the family record see page 243.

FUNERALS.

In 1819, a writer was present at a funeral of an old friend of Dominie Schoonmake. He writes:

As I entered the room I observed the coffin, elevated on a table in one corner. The Dominie, abstract and grave was seated at the upper end. All was still. A simple recognition or half audible inquiry; as one after another arrived, was all that passed.

Directly the sexton followed by a negro, made his appearance with glasses and decanter, and wine was handed to each. Some declined others drank a single glass.

This ended; again the sexton appeared, with pipes and tobacco. The Dominie smoked and a few followed his example. When the whiffs had ceased to curl around the head of the Dominie, he arose with evident feeling and in a quiet way and subdued tone made a short but impressive address in Dutch. A short prayer concluded the service.

The sexton taking the lead, followed b}^ the Dominie, the Doctor and Pall Bearers, the last wearing white sashes and black gloves, lead the way to the Burying place.

A gentleman remembered attending a funeral in his boyhood.

The people had arrived for the services but the coffin had not 3 7 et been received, after waiting a long while the bereaved husband sent his son away on horseback to the wheelwrights (who made the coffins in those days) to see about it.

Another son that was in the room made this remark, “When 3 r e think yer fixed, then yer ain’t fixed.” It was a homely saying and homely said, but it was nevertheless a true one, which many to this day can bear witness to.

Then the “Old People” were very particular about all their dead being buried with their feet towards the East; with the idea that on the resurrection morn, the Son of Righteousness would appear in the East; and naturally as they arose from their graves at his bidding; their faces would be towards Him, to greet Him. The funeral services of to-day, have attained very large proportions over the primitive rites of our Dutch Fathers. Garret Nostrand (the son-in-law of Joost Duryea who died in 1781)

included in his bill against the estate a charge of 8 shillings for making a coffin, and that was about all of the expense attending the consigning of the body to the earth. The kind and obliging neighbors gave their help; and where necessary, furnished teams and wagons.

It is well within the memory of the writer, of following the remains (to some “burying yard”) that were being carried in an open wagon; the box or coffin, covered with a plaid homespun blanket as a pall.

Furman, in his collection of antiquities tells about the expensive funeral feast indulged in by the early Dutch settlers in Kings Co. but it is doubtful as to their being continued in our Dutch Congregation.

In looking over the record of old wills a peculiar feature is the opening or prologue.

It show^s how deeply their religious convictions were implanted, and another feature as to the eldest son being the heir at law, probably derived from some law of Holland.

An extract from one dated Oct. 12, 1698. And also a complete v r ill dated May 9, 1777, here follow:

I pray 1 God Almighty for his grace, to spend the rest of my days in his holy fear, and to be prepared for my latter end. And when it shall please the infinite wisdom, to dissolve this frail Tabernacle, I recommend and freely bequeath my soul unto my Creator, to be disposed of, not according to my deserts but according to the Infinite riches of his free grace, made manifest unto this world in the fulness of time by his son Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, which is the author of my hope and confidence. My body if the circumstances will permit, to be decently and in Christian manner interred, there to rest in the hopes of a glorious reserrection, and my Temporal Estate which by the blessing of him in whom we live and move and have our being, upon my endeavors is bestowed upon me whether the same be real or personal, I give dispose, devise and bequeath all and singular my said estate, real and personal, whatsoever, unto my wife hereafter named, only to my eldest son Peter, I make and bequeath ten shillings and no more.

Peter Cornelise Luyster, the ancestor of that family Emigrated to this country in 1656. He was a carpenter by trade. Settled in the town of Newton about 1659.

He bought a farm (from the Dutch church in New Amsterdam) called the Poor Bowery. His grand son, Peter Janse, (son of John) was the first of that family settled in Oyster Bay Town. His wife was the daughter of John Monfoort, of Madnans Neck; whose father was Pieter, the emigrant.

For the family record see page 300.

In 1749 Adraen Hegeman had in contemplation the deeding of a piece of ground for a burial place, and made a rough deed for it, as follows:

Know all men by these presents that I Adraen Hegeman of Oysterbay in Queens county and in the Province of New York do hereby tolerate and allow unto Simon Lois?., Peter Luyster, Petrus Hegeman, Hendericus Hardenbergh, Frederick Simonsen, Moures Simonsen, Gerret Snediker, Jan Dorlant, Dorite Vande-water, Tlieodoms Kotyer, Jores Bennet, Joseph Liegeman, Gerret Stryker, Gerret Van Wackle, Janse Rcmse, Johannis Kissouw, Jacob Kissouw, Frederick Kessows all of the Town, Co. and province above sd, a place for the burial of their dead,

In testemony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this day of April in the year of our Lord Christ 1749.

The above is intended without doubt to refer to what is now the Hillside Cemetery at Glen Head.

HOUSES.

The Dutch dwellings were very much alike. There was simplicit}^ and room. The style was probably brought from the “Faderland. ” They were generally of wood, one story, either with an overshot roof both in front and rear forming a piazza, or an overshot in front, and the roof in the rear extending some distance back until it came within a few feet of the ground.

The rooms inside were not sealed, but above were the broad heavy oak beams on which the floor of the upper part of the house was laid.

The fire places usually were very large, generally extending without ail}?-jambs, in width sufficient to accommodate the whole family, with a seat near the fire.

The chimneys were very large and spacious, sufficiently so, to admit their meat to be hung in them for the purpose of being sntoked, which was the custom.

One house where the stone fire place occupied nearly the whole side of the room, had large oak doors at the front and in the rear The custom was to bring a large log (called the Back Log) from the woods in a cart, and back the cart up to the door. Then the oxen were taken around to the other door, and a chain was pulled across the room and hitched to the log, and the oxen then pulled the log into the room. It was rolled into the fire place. One of the Simonson family remembers seeing such a fire place, and its size may be imagined when the ends of the Back Log furnished a seat for two of the colored people. On account of

the size of the log, it would necessarily bum a long time, and this brings up another fact in connection .with the fire.

There were no matches or other means of making a fire, and this people were like the Vestal Virgins of Rome required to keep a fire continually burning. If it per chance went out, then a trip was made to some neighbor for the purpose of borrowing a brand. The story is told of one of the Parrish family carrying a brand from near Jericho to Oyster Bay, as he was returning from a journey on horse back.

The Tinder Box came later on, and took some time to kindle, but saved a trip to a friend’s house.

The upper part of the house next to the roof constituted what was called the “Garret.” This was used for sleeping purposes besides being a “ store room” for a thousand and one articles and from whose dark corners we of a later generation have brought forth treasure. As we learn -the habits and customs of the Egyptians from the treasures found amid the ruins of their cities, so we are able to read anew the story of our Dutch from the treasures found amid the dust and cobwebs of the old Garret.

“There’s a chest in the dim old garret,

Wrapped in a pall of dust,

And curtained with dainty cobwebs

That cover the signs of rust;

LITERARY, &c.

The most of their books or reading matter consisted of religious topics. One little book published in Amsterdam in 1696, by the Widow of Guibers de Groot, contains the stories of the Bible in Poems, and was evidently intended to be used for singing, as there is an opening page. Tot de Sanger.

It is quite liberally illustrated with wood cuts. On the last pages is a short account of a church, called, first, St. Catherine, but later named the New Church. It was built or founded in 1416.

Another was a little book belonging to Sarah Bennet, (born in 1758) the grandmother of John B. Luystcr. It contained

’Tis grandmother’s sacred heirloom And there, untouched, it stands, Since over her peaceful bosom She folded her wrinkled hands.

fourteen pages. Was published in New York in 1766. It was composed by a young man, who was converted under the preaching of Gilbert Tennant. The Text that brought about his conversion, was the last clause of the 8th verse, 21st chapter of Revelations. The following is one of the compositions:

My heart is there I’ve now a share, I feel them drops distil,

I long to fly to Christ on high.

And there to drink my fill.

And there abide where rivers glide And hear the angels sing.

And join myself in their behalf Thus to adore my king.

When I at length get grace an strength

To strike them heavenly notes, I’ll praise him too as angels do, With their sweet warbling throats.

Amen, Amen, the angels cry, Salvation is his due.

And we through all eternity,

His praises shall renew.

This was copied from the same book:

Dr. Wigglesworth’s Dream.

As I lay slumbering, sleeping, All alone in bed,

A vision very strange,

There came into my head.

I thought the day of doom, Undoubtedly was come,

And Christ himself was there, To judge both old and young.

I heard the trumpet sound, Sounding both loud and shrill,

Bring all souls to hear,

Their sentence good or ill.

1 scarce had got me there..

But Satan came I thought

And with a doleful scrawl,

Of my sad life he brought.

And laid before our Judge, Saying I was his own.

No help for me there were My sins so great were grown,

Then said our Saviour dear,

To end this doleful strife See if the Sinner’s name,

Be in the Book of Life.

And if his name be there,

He surely shall be blest,

His sins all pardoned are,

His soul with me shall rest.

Our Saviour took the Book,

And leaf b} r leaf he told,

And there he found my name, In letters lined with gold.

Then Satan he was wroth,

On seeing such a sight,

And said unto our Judge,

Thy judgments are not right.

Then spake our Saviour dear, To him most decently,

Satan thou knowest full well, That I for sins did die.

Redeeming of this world, Which he has overthrown,

Not knowing what to do,

To prayers I did betake.

All for poor Sinners sakes,

Whose sins so great had grown.

I fell down on my knees, As other Sinners may,

Then I from slumbering Sleeping I did awake,

Hoping to find forgiveness.

At the great judgment Day.

Sarah Bennett, was the grand daughter of Joris Bennet and Sarah Dorlant. Joris, was the grand son of William Adriaense, the emigrant, an Englishman, and a cooper by trade, who was in this country before 1636, for in that year, he purchased land of the Indians at Gowanus.

For the family record see page 135.

Another book was “Praktyk des Christendoms” by Edward Meiners. Published in Gronnigen in 1738. It is bound in light color sheepskin and in place of clasps are buckskin strings. This book was providentially discovered in the garret of a house standing on the spot where the first Isaac Bogart settled in Wolver PIollow. It also contained a family record of Garret Vanwickle born in 1722. He was the grandson of Evert Janse, the emigrant of 1664 from Wykeler. This Garret married Annetye Hardenburgh a member of one of the oldest families in the congregation.

For the family record see page 652.

The Palsm Book with its silver clasps and silver rings, was in almost every family and also the Great Bible. The family records were here kept very scrupulously and continued for generations. The Great Bible being disposed of by will, and from which the Geslachtrekenkundige (Genealogist) has been able to trace the family from the emigrant. The Catechism also, was in almost every family, and into its doctrines the children were thoroughly instructed.

The Farmers Almanac, was another feature of the house, and they were kept from year to year and sewed together. Here was entered a record of poultiy and live stock.

We find just a memorandum opposite the date such as: Sot a Hen in the bam, Sot a hen on Duck Eggs. Sot a Turkey. Cow Calved, Colt foalded, &c. They always said Sot.

The following is a copy from the original manuscript, which was in the handwriting of Adriaen No. 2.

We could properly style him the “Farmer Poet,” of the last century.

The Happy Child, &c.

You parents who love children dear,

To what I shall relate give ear.

In Bamart liv’d a loving pair,

A tender wife and husband dear.

Whom cruel death of life beguile;

Who left his tender wife with child;

It proved a daughter wherefore she,

Was brought up very tenderly.

And as, she grew up, in time,

Her temper was like one divine,

So sweet, so modest, and so fair,

That few with her they could compare.

Above all the rest her mind was given,

To find the ready way to heaven,

If she one penny had in store,

She’d freely give it to the poor.

As this child came from school one day,

She saw some children at their play,

And wickedly they did blaspheme,

And take God’s holy name in vain.

She said dear children pray forbear,

Who makes you thus curse and swear?

At school you never learnt the same,

Therefore I think you are much to blame.

Besides what will your parents say

When they do hear, that you go astray,

I’m sure their hearts will troubled be

To know that you live so wickedly.

Remember every sinful word, -You’ll answer for before the Lord. Then started up a little elf And said, Miss, pray mind yourself.

So hold your tongue and don’t us tease

For madam, we’ll do what we please The pretty maiden weeping said,

It w r as the devil I’m afraid,

Who bid you God’s commandments break

That he your precious souls may take,

But dear companions pray take care

You fall not in this woful snare.

Take this advice I do implore Or else I’ll never come near you more.

One, taking this in great disgrace -Did strike her on her pretty face.

Saying, Miss pray hence depart; We scorn thee from the very heart. This pretty maid did weep and say Though you do strike me, I will P^y.

That your poor souls in heaven may dwell

And so I bid you all farewell.

Tears from her cheeks in streams did glide,

Her mother asked her why she cry’d.

What! did your mistress you chastise

That you come home with weeping eyes?

No, mother dear this child did say, Some children I have seen this day,

Who will not .God’s commandments keep

It is for their poor souls I weep, When I them blamed for their oaths,

They gave me many bitter blows.

But let them do what e’er they will Their precious souls I’ll pray for still

Her mother took her in her arms, My dear, God keep you from all harms.

Don’t weep my child with such distress,

They’ll answer for their wickedness, As this child went to school one day,

Through the church yard took her way,

Where, lo! the devil came and said Where are you going pretty maid? To school I’m going sir, said she, Now child, don’t mind the same said he

But hasten to your playmates dear, Who learn to lie and curse and swear,

They bravely spend their time in play.

God, they don’t care for, no, not they.

It is a fable, child, he cr3 r ed At which his cloven foot she spy^ed, I’m sure there is a God, said she, That from your power, will keep me free.

At this the devil, instantly In flames of fire, away did fly,

Soon after came an angel fair And said to her, why weep’st my dear?

Why doth your time now swiftly run

On death, it is, you look upon,

If it be so, be not beguiled,

You only die to live my child.

At which the pretty harmless maid Thus to the shining angel said,

Dear sir, I’m not afraid of death, For if God takes me from the earth

Satan would then cease to torment, A harmless child and innocent,

O sir ! he was here, but just now Without God’s help, what shall I do?

But heaven I hope will hear my prayers

And dry my cheeks from weeping tears

The angel took her by the hand, My dear, I came by heaven’s command.

To comfort you in this sad hour That Satan shall not have the power To tempt you more, while you have breath,

Too good you are to live on earth.

But my dear child continue on In heaven for you there is a throne, Where Christ doth set in glory bright,

In such as you he takes delight.

May his blessings on you remain So farewell till we meet again This pretty maid strait went home And told her mother all she’d done.

Who wept full sore, she did foresee Her child would not long with her stay,

In a months time, she did complain That she did feel tormenting pain.

The doctor was sent for with speed To keep this child in time of need, Her sickness it was most severe, But yet this pretty homly dear

Would seldom groan with great complaint

But seemed like a dying saint,

And when the doctor gave her o’er Nothing could grieve this dear child more.

Then when her mothers tears she spyed

She asked her why she cry’d,

Come kiss your child and don’t complain,

We only part to meet again.

My soul seems in a cage to be,

But death I hope will set it free,

To my companions tell the truth To serve the Lord in time of youth

That their poor souls may be forgiven,

And when they die may go to heaven.

Thus spake the dying infant dear, And lo ! an angel did appear.

Have mercy Lord she did then cry, And comfort me before I die Look mother dear I pray behold, My shining angel bright as gold.

Where is he child, I can’t him see, Oh! there he is, ’tis he! ’tis he! Speak lovely angel take me hence, Thy words cxcel’d all eloquence.

Don’t weep, don’t weep dear mother pray.

But death is come to set it free.

Me thinks I hear my passing bell

My friends all taking their farewell.

When lo! was heard a charming sound,

As if a saint in heaven was crowned.

And make you happy after death.

Adriaen Hegeman, (No. 2) his Ballatt.

Jannetje Rapelye, b. March 3, 1765. m. Joseph Hegeman of Cedar Swamp Nov. 11, 1784. She appears to have been of a very religious disposition, as a little writing book in the hands of the Compiler contains a number of essays and poems written by her, some in Dutch and some in English. Two are copied:

Jehovah speaks, let Israel hear, ^ Let all the earth rejoice and fear, While God’s eternal son proclaims His Sovereighn. honours and his name.

I am the last and I the first The Saviour God and God the just Their’s none besids pretend to shew Such justice and salvation too.

Ye that in shades of darkness dwell Just on the verge of death and hell, Look up to me from distant land Light life and heaven are in thy hand.

I by my holy name have sworn Nor shall the word in vain return To me shall all things bend the knee And every tongue shall swear to me.

In me alone shall men confess Lies all their strength and righteousness.

But such as dare despise my name I’ll cloath them with eternal shame.

In me the Lord shall all the seed Of Israel from their sins be freed And by their shining graces prove Their interest in my pardning Love.

Saints at your fathers heavenly word

Give up your comforts to the Lord He shall restore what ye resign And grant your blessings more Devine.

The foregoing is an exact copy, and one peculiar feature of the old writings is the economical use of punctuation marks. The following was on a loose sheet of paper, but had her name subscribed:

1. They ask me why my looks are

sad,

When all around are gay They tell me that I once could smile

And .sport throughout the day. Tis true but then each scene was fair

Beneath youth’s sunny sky.

I gaily sipped life’s choicest sweets

Ere I had learned to sigh.

2. At early dawn all nature’s

decked

In gems of sparkling dew,

So in the morning of our days All’s seen in brightest hue.

But soon these visions are dispelled

When reason’s sun’s on high

We then look back on pleasure past

Then first we learn to sigh.

3. And now when I would smile again

Or trifle as before,

Reflection brings each form to view

Of friends who are no more.

Again I watch their parting breath

And see the closing eye:

Oh! ask not why my looks are sad

Nor wonder if I sigh.

Through the kindness of Mrs. William Hegeman, the Compiler was permitted to look over these old records, more of which will be given later. Mrs. Hegeman now resides at the old place with her aged mother, Elizabeth A. Van Wicklen. Mrs. Van Wicklen (lovingly called Aunt Betsey) was born Aug. 4,

1809 and is a good representative of the sturdy and industrious “Old People,” never at a loss to find something for her hands to do. Mrs. Van Wicklen’s father was Samuel Bailey and her mother Elizabeth Finch. They had another daughter, Sally, who married Zopher Platt, and had issue:—William Henry, who was a wheelwright in Norwich; his shop was by the side of the school house. Sallie’s second husband was Thomas Van Cott of Wolver Hollow, by whom she had one daughter Sarah Elizabeth, who married Richard Brower, of Hempstead. Mrs. Van Wicklen’s husband was Daniel, a grandson of Garret and Helena Ammerman.

The following was found in the “Garret ” of the Old Homestead of the Hegemans (Jacobus the Judge) in Cedar Swamp. The author is not known, but it was among the Judge’s papers:

1. A certain nymph did once my heart incline,

Whose humour wholly disagreed with mine.

I your physician my disease confess,

I from my own prescriptions found redress.

Her, still I represented to m}^ mind,

With what defects I cou’d suppose or find.

Oh, how ill shap’d her legs, how thick and short,

(Tho* neater limbs did never nymph support)

Her arms said I, how tawny brown they are,

(Tho* never ivory statue had so fair.)

How low of stature! (yet the nymph was tall.)

Oh, for what costly presents will she'call!

TI enjoy the maid, will that thy suit advance,

Tis a hard question and doubtful a chance.

One maid corrupted bawds the better fort,

Another for herself would keep the sport.

Thy business may be further’d or delayed

But by my counsel let alone the maid.

Ee’n though she should consent to do the feat,

The profit little and the dangers great.

I will not lead thee thro’ a rugged road,

But where the way lies open safe and broad.

Yet if thou find’st her very much' thy friend,

And her good face her diligence com’end

Let the fair mistress have thy first embrace,

And let the maid come after in her place

But this I will advise and mark my word

. '/MO'i H VKATWaMUDOa l

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

For tis the best advice my skill affords.

2. Let her who has no hair, or has but some,

Plant centinels before her dressing-room

Or in the fane of the good goddess dress

Where all male kind are debar’d access.

Tis said that I (but ’tis a tale devised)

A lady at her toilet once surprised,

Who starting snatched in haste the tow’r she wore,

And in her hurry placed the hinder part before,

But on our foes fall every such disgrace

Or barb’rous beauties of the Parthian race,

Ungraceful ’tis to see without a horn,

The lofty hart, whom branches best adorn;

As leafless tree, or an unverdant mead,

And as ungraceful is a hairless head.

Alas how soon a clear complexion fades,

How soon a wrinkled skin plump flesh invades,

And what avails it, tho’ the fair one swears,

She from her infancy had some gray hairs.

She grows all hoary in a few more years,

And then the venerable truth appears

The snake his skin, the deer his horns may cast,

And both renew their youth and vigor past.

But no receipt can human kind relieve,

Doom’d to decrepid age without reprieve

Then crop the flower which yet invites your eye

And which ungathered in its stalk must die. Besides:

When a fair lady has outlived her charms, who will be at the pains of breaking her windows and doors out of dispair?

The second verse alludes to a piece of gallantry in use among Roman lovers to strew flowers before the doors of their mistresses.

CATTLE.

The farmers drove their sheep and cattle out to the Great Plains for pasture where they remained until the fall of the year, then the herds were separated and brought home; the sheep were driven to the sheep pens, there the owners selected their own. This was called the sheep parting. The cattle had their distinguishing brands or marks, for we find on the Town Records a list, from which a few have been selected.

Garret Snediker Aug. 6th, 1759 marked his cattle with a “Flower de luce” on each ear.

Abram Snediker, the same on each ear and one under the near ear.

June 9th 1760 Adrian Hegeman marks his creatures with a half penny under the near ear.

Edmund Wright’s mark was a crop of the near ear and a half penny foreside of each.

In the spring they had their sheep washing when the sheep were taken to some running stream or pond and given a thorough washing to cleanse the wool; after that came the shearing time, then they were ready to be driven out to the Plains again. The fleece was carried to the carding mill, where it was prepared for the spinning wheel.

About the time the sheep had been shorn of their wool, there usually came a cold rain storm and many of the sheep perished. It was called the “Sheep Shearing Storm.”

After one of these occasions and old grandmother had crossed the plains and she said that the plains were alive with dead sheep.

As reference is made to the Great Plains the following Deed is a peculiar one and also relating to the subject.

DOMESTIC.

One of the leading men of the church died in 1782 aged 70 years, and John Luyster and Cornelius Hoogland were appointed appraisers.

The widow was to take such household furniture as she should choose.

Following is a list of the things selected:

1 large cupboard, 1 little cupboard, 2 tables, 2 beds & furniture, 10 linen sheats, 10 tow sheats, 8 table clothes, 6 towels, 8 pair pillow cases, 1 case, 4 pewter platters, 8 earthen plates, 2 bowls, 1 tunnel, 12 table spoons, spoon rack, 6 knives & forks, 6 china tea cups, saucers, 6 tea spoons, 1 milk pot, 1 tea kittle, 1 wafer iron, 1 pepper morter, 1 pr. hand irons, 1 trammel, 1 frying pan, 1 gridiron & toster, 1 skimer, iron ladle, 1 meat fork,

1 tong & shovel, 1 pewter quart pot & earthen quart pot, 2 earthen pots, 2 earthen bowls, 2 pewter teapots, 2 pewter basons,

2 earthen platters, 6 chears, 1 great chear, 1 warming pan, 1 looking glass, 1 chamber pot, 1 bellows, 2 iron kittles, 1 iron pot, copper kittle, 1 iron stan & candlestick, 2 smoothing irons, 1 keeler & butter tub, 1 washtub, 1 wooden ladle, 1 wooden bowl, 1 linen and woolen weel, 1 pair scissors, 2 pails, 2 piggins, 1 sugar box, 1 wooden tray, 1 sive, 2 tin kittles, 2 drinking glasses, 1 Dutch Bible and 3 books, 1 whitening pot, 1 pair wool cards, 1 canister, 1 snuffers, 20 pounds of flax and yam.

The pepper mortor mentioned in the foregoing list is cast in bell metal, and around the side is a Latin motto which translated reads

“Love Conquors All.”

The date is cast into the side, 1644. The Dutch Bible was sold at auction after the w T idow died; and went over to Connecticut or to the “Main Shore,” as the old settlers termed it.

THE DUTCH OVER.

The oven was as much a part of the house as the fireplace or the furnace. It was constructed of brick and nearly in the shape of half a sphere. The opening had a movable iron door At the top of this door was a flue for the smoke and at the bottom

'

a flue for the removal of the ashes and coals after the oven had been thoroughly heated. The proper wood for the oven was old chestnut rails designated oven wood. There was the Bread Shovel, a hickory pole for a poker and the oven swab to clean out ashes. Two large bread trays for wheat and rye bread compleated the furnishing. The night before baking day the dough was set to rise. It was prepared with emptins, a sour Indian meal cake. The dough having properly raised during the night, it was kneeded into loaves and with numerous pies and cake duty prepared the oven received them.

And here again comes in the necessary experience. The oven must not be too hot or the bread will burn, and if too cold not half baked. The things to be baked were distributed over the bottom of the oven with the shovel and it required a steady hand to property put a pumpkin pie on the shovel and deposit it in the dark recesses of the Dutch Oven. Who does not remember the mammoth loaves (two story) of bread, the mince pie, the pumpkin pie, our grandmother used to bake.

’Tis told that a negro bent on robbery once secreted himself in the oven until the family had retired for the night, when he was at liberty to pursue his calling.

One other article was required as a necessity and that was a pair of scales. The Compiler has a pair that are of wood. From long usage the square board where the material was put on to be weighed is hollowed out nearly half the thickness of the boards.

The weights were stones, one of half a pound and the other a pound. They are also worn by long years of usage.

The details of these small affairs are narrated to show the extreme necessity and economy of these early settlers. It is said that those who had to walk a long way to church carried their shoes in their hands until near the place, when they put them on.

The men used to wear leather aprons or Smock Frocks while about their work to protect their clothing. The story is told about a runaway couple and that the groom was barefooted and wore a Tow Frock when they were married. It was a Quakei that run away with a Dutch maid. They died many years

since and are buried in the Friends’ burying yard at Jericho.

NOON MARK.

Clocks were very scarce in the early times, and our old friends r resorted to the “Noon Mark.” Some door opening on the south side of the house was selected and a mark was cut in the floor, so that when it was twelve o’clock, or noon, by opening the door the sun made a shadow of the door jamb, and when the shadow reached the mark the good old mother knew it was about time to blow the horn to call the men from the fields for their dinner. What they used when the sun did not shine is hard to say. In later times the old fashioned corner clock came into use and many of them are in the possession of the old families to-day and in good timekeeping order. How well we remember their solemn “ tick, tock, tick, tock.”

SALT HAY.

These peoplejhad an exalted idea as to the value of Salt-Hay.

At the southern part of the town were hundreds of acres of salt meadows, which they prized very highly; and every spring the right, to the use, of the meadows was disposed of at auction. The writer remembers attending such an auction as late as the year 1853. The sale took place at Vandewaters Hotel on the south side and a record of the sale shows there were 168 plots disposed of for the sum of $858.12 and among the names of buyers, we find many of the names of the old Dutch families viz.

Voorhees, Remsen^Nostrand, Duryea, Hoff, Hoogland, Van Cott, Monfort. '?

When the time for gathering the hay came, preparations for a week’s stay was made by these people in the Dutch settlement. It being a long drive of 20 or more miles.

The children were*always very anxious to greet them on their return, as during their stay on the Meadows, they hunted for the nests of the so called Meadow Hens and generally pleased

the children by bringing a basket of eggs gathered from the nests of the Hens.

A number of the lots were reached only with a boat, and after the hay was cured it was brought to the main land, loaded on wagons and then carried to the respective farms.

This is a memorandem of the expenses paid for one of these “going to the marsh ” as it was called.

£ s d

One farmer had apples which ripened about salt hay time and he used to trade the apples for rum, to take on the “Mash” and the apples took the name of rum apples.

The different tracts of Meadow Land were designated by name as well as numbers, the following are some of the names.

Button Island Brandy Island Cotts Island East High Hill Is. East Waters Hole East Black Bank Gin Island Goose Island Great Island Jone’s Island Loine’s Island

STORES AND TAVERNS.

The stores must have contained a very curious collection; as they were expected to supply almost everything the Dutch community required; and were also obliged to take in exchange

for what they sold; everything that the farmers (“Boers”) produced.

In the season for killing hogs, many of them were brought to the store.

The wife of one of the storekeepers told her experience about cutting up the hogs, making sausage, salting hams and pork, and trying out the lard. They would have perhaps forty at a time, and it required a great amount of hard work, sometimes lasting far into the night, in order that things should be ready for taking to York to be disposed of. The things the store had to take, butter, eggs, pork, beef, were carted several miles to some boat landing. Those of Cedar Swamp went to Hempstead Harbor or Musqueto Cove, those of Wolver Hollow, and East Woods to Oyster Bay. The boats or sail boats made weekly trips to the city, and the store proprietor went with his goods and disposed of them, buying such things as he needed for the return trip.

These trips to the city lasted a week or more. The following is a card of one of these old times transportation companies:

THE SLOOP ATLANTIC, will run as a packet,

From Masqueto Cove to New York.

Leaving Masqueto Cove every Third (Tuesday) morning at 8 o’clock, weather permitting, she has good accomodations for passengers or freight.

For further particulars apply to Jarvis Crooker on board, who will transact all business committed to his charge faithfully and with dispatch.

Sep. 12, 1656. Records of New Amsterdam.

Know ye:—Whereas now and then the people from the country bring various wares, such as meat, bacon, butter, cheese, tuniips, roots, straw, and other products of the farm to this City for sale, arrived with which at the strand they must often remain there with their goods a long time to their great damage because the community or at least the major part of it, living away from the Strand, do not know, that anything

has been brought for sale, which is not only an inconvenience for the burghers,-but also a great loss for the industrious Countrymen, who often thus loose more time', than they have bestowed upon the production of their wares.—Therefore it is hereby ordered that henceforth Saturday shall be held and kept as Market day in this City on the Strand near the house of Master Hans Kierstede: let everyone who has anything to sell or buy govern himself accordingly.

Rum was sold at the stores and very little was thought of it. In looking over the old store books, there are frequent entries such as half a gallon of rum or a gallon of wine. Besides the liquor sold at the stores, there were many taverns in the town. Very early there was a tavern just west of the church, kept possibly by one of the Van Wicklen family, and it was here that many of the Dutch Elders and Deacons spent the hour between the morning and afternoon service, and also where the Dutch “vrowe” went to get coals for her foot stove in cold weather. Just to the east of the church was the first grave yard and beyond that about the year 1800 was a farm owned by one of the Monfoort family. Here was located another tavern called the “Quail Trap.” One of the old farmers in the neighborhood got dry very often and frequently patronized the “Trap.” It is said when he was short of money, he used to take a bag of rye on his back and trade it for rum. The farm on which the “Quail Trap” was located, was afterwards bought for the use of the town poor.

The store and the tavern went hand in hand and these places were the usual resorts evenings for the farmers. The justices court and airy special meeting usually were called to meet at some store or tavern. The following lottery was held at the store near what was Sucksoo’s Wigwam:

One day a quaker was visiting one of the Dutch stores, and while inside, his team of horses ran away. He came out on hearing the noise and saw his team rapidly going. He said well the colt is running very fast, but I think the old mare is just a leetle the fastest. Then turning to the proprietor, he said, Well we will go in and have a little more of that “Old Rye” and then I’ll look up the team. These stores were not buildings erected alone b}?- themselves, but very many were located in one end of the dwelling house.

The early town meetings were held, in a meeting house at Oyster Bay and one year at the church in Wolver Hollow. Then the voters of the town met at Norridge and there was a time of pleasure united with business. Trotting horses, shooting for turkeys, and a general good time all around. The town, laws were passed by taking the “ayes and nayes” and appropriations of money for town expenses were carefully attended to. Peter Luyster was elected an assessor one year, for which service he was to receive* eight shillings.

and “Puritan Sabbaths.” The following shows how the old time people thought:

In 1682 the town court of Huntington ordered that a person who was convicted of the crime of bringing a bag of meal from Oyster Bay to Huntington on the Sabbath day should pay a fine of ten shillings. If Cornelius Hoogland and Peter Luyster, and Isaac Remsen and Garret Snediker and Joost Monfoort could return to the places connected with their earthly dwellings they would probably conclude that the devil was in control, and the work of the Dutch Congregation had come to naught. The present generation have not such a “fine sense” about desecrating the sabbath.

“LAWS AND ORDINANCES OF NEW NETHERLANDS Apr. 29, 1648.

Whereas we have seen and learned, that notwithstanding our previous orders and proclamations concerning the keeping of the holy Sabbath according to God’s lioty Word, it is not observed as we intend and desire, but is profaned and desecrated in various manners, to the great scandal, offense and reproach of this community and neighboring strangers, who visit this place, also to the vilification and contempt of God’s holy Word and our ordinances based thereon,—

Therefore we, in order to avert, as much as is in our power, the wrath and punishment of God, evoked thereby and by other misbehaviours, renew and amplify herewith our previous proclamations and ordinances, having arranged for the further observance of the Sabbath with the knowledge of the Servant of God’s Word, that henceforth a sermon from God’s Word shall be preached in the afternoon, as in the forenoon, with the usual Christian prayers and thanksgiving: we request and charge therefore all officials, subjects and vassals to assist at the services, forbidding meanwhile during divine service, all tapping, fishing, hunting and other usual occupations, handicrafts and business, be it in houses, cellars, shops, ships, yachts, or on the streets and market places, under penalty of forfeiting all such wares, goods and merchandise and of redeeming them with a payment of 25 florins, to be applied until further orders for the

support of the poor and the churches, besides a fine of one pound Flemish, payable by purchaser as well as seller, employer as well as employee, half of it going to the officer, the other half at the discretion of the Court.

We also hereby forbid, that anyone may on the said day give himself up, to his disgrace and the offence of others, to excessive drinking, under the penalty, if so found, of being arrested by the Fiscal or any superior or inferior officer and punished arbitrarily by the Court.

SUPERSTITION.

One of the ideas of the “Old People” was that it was a very unfortunate circumstance to have a Looking Glass to break or be broken. Reference is made to the Diary of Adriaen Liegeman, where it records the fact that John Voorhees lost his life while running a horse at a race.

The story has been handed down through the years that while John was shaving before a Looking Glass, preparatory to attending the race, the glass suddenly cracked through the middle. They tried persuasion to make him remain at home, but without avail, and the consequences were as put down in the Diaiy.

John was the son of Jacob Voorhees and Geertye Sedam. For the family record see page 647.

NICK NAMES.

The “Old People” were great hands for giving “Nick Names, ” at one period nearly every male in Wolver IIollow had one of these absurd titles attached to him.

We do not connect the “Nick Name” with the person and his proper name, for the reason that it would appear as if the Compiler was holding them up to ridicule. That is something that is the least in his mind. The subject is mentioned only as showing a singular habit a community may fall into. We had the name of Young Chubby, Old Dutch, Aubey, Bottle, Boots, Boot’s Boy, Dawney, Donor, Chubby, Dubby, Gamcy, IIan6hey, Hcmmey, Buckwheat, Iiooter, Kassia, Tory, Rampey, Sugar Dumpling.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

This is only a partial list, and the foregoing shows the peculiar way of designating our neighbors.

One story is related of Chubby, when he was a young man. His associates persuaded him away into a lonely field one dark night to dig for a pot of money. The darkness and the loneliness in connection with this unusual expedition had rendered Chubby somewhat nervous. After digging for some time, his spade struck something giving forth a hollow sound. Raising himself in exultation to greet his companions, he was confronted only with a sheeted figure. With horror, he dropped the spade and turning towards home, started on a run, exclaiming in tones of the deepest earnestness, “Now legs if you have ever done me any good you want to do it now.”

That saying has been repeated many thousands of times since, whenever haste was required, and any surviving member of the Dutch Congregation, quickly understands the reference to the story of Chubby, when they hear the words, “Now legs. ”

The women were given what might be termed “ Nick Names, ” denoting affection. Maria was called Molly, Mary, called Polly, Margaret was Griete and sometimes Itye. The Dutch name Annatye was Ann. Femmetye was Febe, and Jannetye was Jane. The riddle often given to the children runs like this:

Elizabeth, Eliza, Betsy, and Bess,

Went to the woods, to find a bird’s nest.

A nest they found, with four eggs in,

They each took one and left three in.

TRADES.

The Tailors, shoemakers and weavers in those days went from house to house and plied their trade, and had to take their pay from the farmers in such things as they needed, some of the families had looms of their own and when they did not, selected

HOOGLAND.

pirck Jansen Hoogland, the ancestor of the Oyster Bay family came to,New Netherlands in 1659 from Maerseveen, in the province of Utrecht, being at the time 22 years old. He married Oct. 8, 1662, Annetye Hansen Bergen and was known among his neighbors as “Kleyn Dirck, ” (Little Dirck). His 3rd child William Hoogland born 1669, married (sup) Nceltye Adrians.

For the family record see page 270.

In the early days, the boys had to “learn a trade,” and as an illustration of that we turn to the will of Cornelius 7.

THE V/ARMING PAN.

The warming pan was one of the usual household articles and in this day of steam heat and soft woolen blankets it cannot readily be appreciated. Its iise has fallen into disuse and the warming pan has become a favorite article for hall decoration. Any person that has experienced the pleasure of sleeping in a “North Room” of one of the Dutch homes in the winter will be able to testify as to its utility. Imagine if you please the “Spare Room” so called, devoted only to the use of company.

Here has been lavished all the best domestic skill of the good mother. The floor covered with a “Rag Carpet.” A high post corded bedstead, with a canopy top. The top and sides enclosed with a fancy muslin with grotesque figures, and a curtain all around the lower part, of the same material. On drawing the muslin aside, we find the place where we are expected to deposit our weary limbs, about breast high. Provision has been made for this emergency with a small step ladder.

The first article on the bed was a straw tick. A loose mattress filled with rye straw. This was to keep the cords from hurting the sleeper. Then there were two feather beds. Then two

homespun linen sheets, and one or two quilts and to crown all the homespun bedspread.

We can contemplate all this while one of the snowstorms Adraen Hegeman speaks about is in progress outside.

There is no fire and only a tallow dip for a light. As we left the sitting room and the dream influences of the open fire place, we perhaps began to shiver with apprehension at the rigors of that “ Spare Room. ”

But the dear Old Grandmother had been there before us and the warming pan filled with live coals had been introduced between the linen sheets and the chill had been removed.

Our evening devotions have been performed. One of the children has read a portion of Scripture, the gray haired grandfather has presented our petition at the throne of mercy, we are, conducted to our room and with a cordial wish for a sweet sleep the good housewife leaves us.

Our teeth are beginning to chatter, we hurriedly disrobe, “blow out the candle,” mount the step ladder and plunge into that sea of feathers. We are lost to sight, the soft bed embraces us with its feathery arms and we sink away into oblivion. In the morning if we indulge in a “.snooze” after daylight we are fortunate, as the old rule was ver}^ generally in force, “early to bed and early to rise. ” While debating the subject of getting up in that cold room, we have the opportunity of studying the

BED SPREAD.

This seems to have been the “fad” of the young women about the year 1800, as the writer found none of an earlier date. Phebe Duryea a great grand daughter of Joost, had one.

pattern. Her name and date Jan. 27, 1814 in the border. It is now in the possession of her daughter Mrs. Ida Ann Suydam of Greenpoint. Catherine McQueen a great granddaughter of Johannes Symese and Maria Stockholm also had one with her name and date 1837. Now in the keeping of her daughter Mrs. Mary Jane Valentine.

Eliza Nostrand, the grand daughter of Peter Nostrand and Mary Seaman and the dearly loved grandmother of the Compiler, also had one with her name and the date of her birth Oct. 16, 1802, in the border.

It is now owned by her great granddaughter Edith Stouten-burgh of Glen Head (formerly Cedar Swamp).

Almost every family of the original “Dutch Congregation ” are in possession of one of these keep-sakes showing the industrious habits of the “ Old People. ”

The bed spread was made of linen and woolen yarn. The yam spun by the women and the weaving done by Smith Mott at Westbury. The new use to which they are devoted is for Portieres or door curtains.

SLAVES.

African Slavery had existed from an early period. A “prime slave” was valued at $120 to $150. In 1709 a slave market was erected in New York at the foot of Wall street.

In 1689 a census was taken and there were 200 negros in Queens County.

In 1738 there were 1311.

In 1756 nearfy one-quarter of the population were negros.

In 1755 there were 97 slaves in Oyster Bay. Expenses for food and clothing exceeded the value of their labor, and it was sportively said, but truly, of a farmer who had no corn to sell, that the hogs eat all the corn and the negros eat the hogs, and nothing was left.

Our Dutch friends were exceedingly kind to their slaves, for in many cases they made provision for them in their wills. We have a will before us in which there is this clause:

“And provision made for a reasonable support for my two colored women, Jude and Biali during their lives. ”

In later years the slaves were given their liberty.

Those liberated ones wandered away from the neighborhood, but every year almost they would return and make a visit to their old masters. Then would come some word that “Old Tom” was dead, and there would be sorrowful faces among the children, between whom there was always a' strong friendship.

At the death of one of the earliest settlers he left one slave and as the heirs could not divide him up, they quit claimed him as follows:

Be it known to all people to whome these presents shall come, we for divers causes and sufficient reason to our full satisfaction, we the said hath released granted and quit claimed

title, claim and demand whatsoever which we have or ought to have, of, in and to one Negro Boy named Prymus, which did

DOWNING.

The first of that name in the Town of Oyster Bay was George. His first wife was Mary Coles. His mother-in-law was Maher Shalal Hashbaz Coles.

[A list of the estates of ye Inhabitants of Oyster Baye for a Country rate this 29 of Sep. 1683, George downing was put down for £80.]

He with others received a large tract of land from the Indians, and his portion was located at Little Worth. This was some years before the Dutch settled in the town and it was not before the third generation appeared that marriages were made among the Dutch congregation. He died about 1735. His will dated March 9. Probated and recorded in N. Y. L. 12. F. 412. He left issue: 2 George; 3 Daniel; 4 Richard, 5 Benjamin; 6 Henry; 7 Sarah who married a Valentine. George 2 m.

case at William Wrights Jericho 17th instant 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Jury crav’d and adjourned to Jas Pools 24th instant 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

(The testimony is omitted). Following are the notes of Judge James liegeman:

There is ample and complete testimony before the Court that the mother of the black woman was given by Annanias Downing to William Hopkins or his wife, and they took possession of her and that the present black woman was born about two years before the mother was manumitted and has never been manumitted or freed and never was considered to be free. If there were any doubts existing the claim which Hopkins made of the - girl some time after the mother was manumitted would completely remove them. This was no taking for time; she was received in the same manner as the cows, sheep, furniture &c. were received by them. It would be inconsistent for Hopkins to say that he freed her before she was manumitted and deny ever owning her. If he proves the returning of her to the estate there he should seek recompense and not of this town. Because there is a dispute among them about the girl he falls on the town; let them settle it themselves.

The certificate of manumission and the great stress that the plaintiff places upon it if admitted in its greatest latitude, amounts to no more than to prove who was the owner at the time of the certificate being given. But the main point is, who was the owner of the mother when the present woman was born; whoever was the owner of the mother at that time is the present owner of course, as it appears she never has been freed, and it plainly appears, and the fact is that William Hopkins was the owner at that time. I am warranted in saying this from the testimony before us, and no doubt he w r as the owner at the time she was freed, and his claiming and owning her afterwards amounts to proof that she ever belonged to him, and the Down-ings freeing her does not prove them to be the owners and specially as the fact appears that W. Hopkins was the owner of the mother before and after she was manumitted, this is ' sufficiently proven.

Aiter ascertaining that the mother belonged to Hopkins, the

.

business before us must appear in this way, that the Downings and Hopkins had slaves which they wanted to manumit, and the Downings were going to court for the purpose, and to accommodate their brother in law they take his woman, of course must own her for the purpose of getting her manumitted. This inference is warranted from the testimony before us. This is not the first and only time that blacks have been freed by persons that were not their owners.

The present plaintiff is an instance before us in the case of Jordan.

THE DUTCH GARTER.

This was an article that was used by all, males and females. They were knit backwards and forwards and the yarn was looped over the knitting needles twice, and when new were quite elastic. They were about a yard in length and were wound around the top of the long woolen stockings and the limb, and the end tucked under. Those were not the days of silk elastic and silver buckles.

The story is told of two young women who were crossing a large field and when in about the middle of the lot the}^ were attacked by an old ram. The distance being too great for them to escape by running, they faced the animal and between the two succeeded in throwing him, and then to keep him down they sot on him. It was an unpleasant situation as one could not leave for assistance. They cast about for some means to bind the buck and luckily they thought of their garters. At this stage of their misfortune they gladly welcomed the appearance 6f James Vernon of Norwich, who (just like a man) teased them for some time and at last helped them out of their sheepish position.

THE GOURDS.

One of the articles in use among the “Old People” was the Gourd Dipper, and one of them would usually be found hanging at the well.

They are now T out of use and the last one we remember having seen was in the kitchen of the old house of John Nostrand in

■ , .

.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

Wolver Hollow. The use of the Gourd for drinking purposes was probably continued as a custom from the Hollander, and shows how tenaciously they clung to anything that their fathers had done before them.

The following account compiled from the records of the Holland Society, is interesting as bearing on the subject:

In the year 1565, immediately after the decrees of the Council of Trent were promulgated, Philip II. determined to put them in force throughout his dominions. Accordingly, he now made a more vehement attack upon the reformers; and then it was, in 1566, that the Netherland nobles, led by Count Brederode, signed the famous “Compromise” with which the open rebellion of the provinces begins. Margaret of Parma was Philip’s regent in the Low Countries. Before her Brederode appeared with the Protest against the Inquisition and other innovations which the King proposed to introduce in Holland.

He was accompanied by three hundred noblemen, who had bound themselves together for the preservation of the Liberties of the Provinces. The Duchess of Parma appeared to be much disturbed at the sight of such a multitude of noble remonstrants, but the Count of Barlemont, who stood beside her, begged her not to be alarmed “for” said he, in French, “they are only beggars.”

The gourd or bottle had its origin from the usage made of it by the Pilgrims—that class of people who to perform a penance or to fulfill certain vows undertake a journey to the distant shrine of some saint, like that of St. James in Spain or of Loretto in Italy. They are obliged to go there begging by the way and they carry the bottle-gourd or calabosli attached to the girdle, for the purpose of carrying water for their use when they have to traverse dry and arid parts of the country. For this reason these allied nobles made use of the gourd as one of their emblems, and to turn into pleasantry the names of beggars which had been given to them with So much indignity.

John Nostrand was the son of Peter. He was b. 1778 and d. 1847. m - Mch. 5, 1880, vSarah Walters, the widow of Geo. Remsen. Sarah or “Aunt Salty” as she was called, d. in 1S69 at the age of 92. One circumstance of her life was the represen-

tation of five generations living at one time. John was in the army at Brooklyn during the war of 1812. He was blind at the time of his death.

George Remsen and Sarah Walters were the grand parents of John N. Remsen, deceased, of Norwich, who served some thirty years as the Clerk of Oyster Bay Town.

TALLOW DIPS.

For many years this people had no other light for their evenings (except what came from the great stone fire places) and candles were of necessity a staple household article. Generally every Dutch kitchen was furnished with a furnace (so called.)

A large iron pot was enclosed with brick and so constructed as to leave a space beneath for the fire and no wood was considered as desirable as brush and chips.

One day it would be used for boiling the clothing of the week’s wash; then for trying out the tallow for candle making. The day for dipping candles having arrived, a lot of candle rods brought down from the garret, would have strung on them candle wick, cut and twisted to the proper length. Two poles were laid on benches about three feet apart, and on these the ends of the rods would be supported.

A large tin boiler would then be partly filled with-water and a quantity of hot tallow would be put in filling the boiler, the grease of course rising to the fop. Each candle rod was then taken alternately and the candle wick on them immersed in the boiler. When withdrawn each wick had a portion of tallow adhering to it. By the time thirty or forty rods had been manipulated the tallow on the wick of the first rod had become cold. Then with a gentle movement of the fingers each wick was made as straight as possible. The process of dipping was then repeated and for hours it was repeated until the candle had attained a proper size. It appeared to be a simple operation, but nevertheless some skill was necessary. The tallow must not be too hot, the water in the boiler must be about right as to temperature, and only the Dutch Vrouw with many years’ experience knew all the details of the business.

j6o

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

Enough candles would be made on the occasion to last the year round. If by chance the supply should become exhausted then resort was had to the candle mould which was a more simple operation.

There was a little superstition connected with these tallow candles, as follows: Some time after a candle had been burning, by some action of the tallow a little offshoot would begin at the edge of the tallow and projecting out from the side would gradually form itself into a curl. This was called the Winding Sheet , and presaged a death in the direction of that side on which it formed.

There was also the snuffers and tray and the candlestick, the snuffers to remove the burned wick after the tallow had burned away. It was quite an art to “snuff the candle” without putting out the light,

THRIFT.

One couple bought a farm and settled down to hard work and it is told of them that the husband -went to the field all day husking corn. On his retum. in the afternoon the load of corn was deposited on the ground near the corn crib. After supper his wife placed a tallow dip in the window and brought out the spinning wheel and spent the evening in spinning while the husband was outside assorting the com. One of the women bom in 1756 was the mother of ten children and she could not send them to school to get them out of the way and like most all children they were generally hungry. In the morning she would spread a lot of rye bread with “Apple Butter” and leave it standing on the “Putter Bunk” for them to go and help themselves. This generation call the Putter Bunk a Sideboard.

The apple butter was made by boiling cider down until it was nearly like molasses; .then some partly dried apples were put in and it was boiled until the apples were cooked.

For the family record see page 304.

There is no question as to the fact of this being a Dutch family, from the names. Adrian, the fifth child, when quite a young man, ran away from home” and shipped aboard of a

com ship. A terrible storm wrecked the craft and the “runaway boy” had a narrow escape from being drowned.

One Sabbath morning one of his sisters came into the house and said:

Father, Orryon is home. (The usual manner of pronouncing Adrian.)

Old Peter went out and found Orryon sitting on the fence and probably in some doubt as to the reception likely to be accorded him.

The wanderer was brought in and made to don his “Sunday clothes” and then taken to church, probably with an intimation that reformation should begin there. Whether the boy had his “jacket warmed” or not our knowledge of the matter does not warrant us in saying.

The “Old People” did not spare the rod. The Compiler has a cane made by the old gentleman, but it is rather heavy for the “warming” proceess.

It was made from a dogwood sapling and ornamented with markings made with a hot iron. The ferule is a tailor’s thimble. However, the reformation became a fact and Orryon was one of the leading and strict members of the Dutch Congregation.

THEIR AMUSEMENTS.

One of the old customs, which still lives in the Dutch Congregation, was the “Rag Sewing.” Some good “vrouw” desirous of having a carpet on the floor of the best room, saved all the remnants of cloth or woven articles and cut them in narrow strips until a sufficient quantity had been accumulated.

The invitations were then given out for the women to come on some designated afternoon to sew these strips together. The rags were wound into balls and were then ready for the carpet weaver. In the evening the men would come and the rag sewing ended in a number of games and a social time.

Then there were “Spinning Bees.” An invitation consisted of half a pound of flax being left at the house. This was to be spun and on the time appointed it was taken back to the owner and the young people enjoyed another evening in festivities common to the settlement.

There were “Balls” also. Norridge as it was called was the usual resort on these occasions. The young men took their girls on horseback, as they had nothing but heavy and clumsy wagons or carts. “Fiddler Ben” furnished the music. The early settlers were a very sociable set among themselves. The women would take the flax wheel with them when they went for an afternoon call and would be busy while engaged in conversation.

Then the older people had a round of visits- to make during the winter evenings, notice having been sent of the intended visitation. These occasions were utilized by the host and hostess for a display of the “Blue Chaney” dishes and the family pewter. The provision for the appetites of the guests was, well, the best. .

Waffles. These were the pride of the family and a kindly rivalry was maintained as to which skilled matron the award should be given for making the best.

Wafers. These were another Dutch feature of the table. A wafer iron had the initials of the heads of the family cast in, so as to show in the cakes when baked. Miss Dorothy Onder-donck of Flower Hill, North Hempstead, has one of this kind that belonged to Dorothy Monfoort, b. Dec. 21, 1767, d. May 15, 1848. She was the wife of Joseph Onderdonclc. The wafer iron is marked J. D. M. and the date 1742.

Inscription Copied from a Loving Cup.

There were many other good things provided as the “Old People” entertained well. After the meal the oldest adjourned to the best room and the men smoked their long clay pipes; the women knit and some of them “snuffed.” Stories of the past were repeated and thus became legendary; as you will often hear now some one of the older people remark; “Yes I remember hearing my grandfather or the “Old People” tell about the happenings of the early days.

Scattering pieces of the old pewter, so highly prized by the early settlers may occasionally be found. A large platter 17 inches in diameter is now in the family of Daniel T. Luyster of Wolver Hollow. It has the initials I. V. D. B. (Ida Van Der Bilt) on the margin. She was the daughter of Jeremiah of Flatbush, and was born Aug. 5, 1741 and married Nov. 11, 1757, Rem Hegeman.

Some of the pewter plates being much larger than this one. The Compiler having found them 25 inches in diameter. They are now decorated with hand paintings and used as “Plaques. ”

The families had a strange attachment for each other, and it may have been because they were more or less related by blood kinship. The dozen or more families of the settlement having lived near each other for many years, their children marrying seldom outside the Dutch circle; hence the rounds of evening visits.

It is hardly necessary to give a description of all the paraphernalia connected with the spinning and weaving department of the Dutch household, except in brief. There was the large wheel for woolen yam. The flax or linen wheel. The reel for winding the yarn from the spindle into skeins and the swift. The swift was used when the yarn was wound into balls. The maid of this day uses her lovers hands instead of the Dutch swift. The making of spinning wheels was a trade and the Van Nostrands were called “Draayer” which is supposed to mean a maker of spinning wheels.

Aaron Van Nostrand, Turner (Draayer) of Jamaica in his will dated Jan. 13, 1764. Probated Apl. 23, 1764, N. Y. L, 14. P. 393 left to each of his daughters a linen wheel. There

were five of them and their names were Aultye, Gretye, Sarah, Janitye and Ann.

Then again each knitting member of the family had her own particular equipment. Knitting needles, knitting sheath, and a basket for the balls of yarn and the unfinished work. These baskets were made of fine splints and were good work done by the basket maker.

Woe betide the unlucky urchin who accidently upset the basket and spilled the balls over the floor. One basket had the name on, Caty Mefoore, her Basket, 1806. Catharine Mon-fort was born in 1787 and married Morris Simonson.

Mrs. John Downing their granddaughter is the owner of an antique, brass spectacle box, so old that the memory of man runneth not back thereto. It is engraved on the top and bottom with pictures illustrating the little story contained in the Bible, Exodus 2d Chap. 15 to 20 verses. On the side is engraved and in Dutch:

Wat k'gn den mens de ryk dom baate A Is hy doot is moet hyt dog hier laate.

The translation is, What advantage is it to a man, to gain riches and power, as he has to leave it all when he dies. This box came down from the family of Morris and Catherine.

The “ Old People” seldom used the name Catherine, but called the name “Treeny ” a corruption of Katrina.

Catherine was an own aunt to Mary A. Monfoort bom May 14, 1812.

On the first celebration of Lincoln’s birthday in 1896 the writer was shown the process of spinning flax by Mary. This aged woman, although 85 years have come and gone, is quite active, and the remarkable manner with which she manipulated the flax wheel, went to show that her hands had lost none of their skill.

An account of the “Bed spreads” has been written in a previous chapter, but Mary is the only person the Compiler has found who possesses one, which is composed of the yarn spun by herself.

When the “Old Homestead” of the Monfoorts comes before our mental vision; we picture it as an antiquarian gold mine. A home replete with remembrances of the “ Old People. ”

We can hardly imagine her as a child, playing with dolls and other toys, but it must have been, as she delighted the writer with an inspection of some of the toys she had in her childhood; one was the little doll snugly tucked away in a little “Canopy Top Corded Bed.” The linen thread composing the pillow cases and bed tick all being home spun.

To her the Compiler is under many obligations for her valuable help in his work of recording the deeds of past generations, and bringing the scattered members of the Dutch Congregation together again under the shadow of the genealogical tree.

It would be of interest to give a complete record of one family showing a straight descent from the Emigrant, and there could be no more suitable one than the ancestors of the before mentioned Mary A. Monfoort.

As this auction was had at East Woods (now Syosset) there were very few of the people from Cedar Swamp & Wolver Hollow there, but the Dutch Congregation was well represented. We shall have to excuse the Dear Old People for their spelling, as, at this time, they were just learning to talk English.

Joost Durye was b. in 1709 and m. Willimpe Terhune. Their son Jorus, m. Willemina Braambos, and their daughter Wil-limpie m. William Braambos, No. 3, her brother William Braambos, No. 2 and his mother emigrated from the island of Curacao and settled at Bushwick, where-he married Catryntye Van Kats, afterwards settling.in Mutton Town in a stone house, near the late residence of John R. Duryea, deceased. The blood of the Braambos family, flows in the veins of many of the Dutch Congregation. Of the children of Jorus Duryea and Willemina, they married into the Luyster, Hoogland, Simonson, Remsen and Monfoort families.

The will of Willimpe Terhune Duryea is quite a curiosity as showing how disposition was made of personal property.

She devises to Charles Duryea’s son George the Lame Boy.

To her daughter Willimpe, her Best Cow. To Cornelia Nostrand another daughter the Great Bible. To Mary Bennet the Pewter Platter marked “M. R. T. ” and upon a second consideration I give unto Willimpe my Side Saddle and Brass Kettle.

William Braambos, No. 2, had two Hessian soldiers billeted at the house during the Revolutionary War. One of them died while there and his body was buried near the stone house.

The old farm of Getorge Duryea was located near the top of Spring Hill as it is now called and there was a brick yard where the brick was made. The old account book showing entries made from 1786 to 1805 was still in the family, even the quill pen, with which the writing was done, was in the book. The young people enjoyed merry making in those times and we are

told that a stray pig wandered into the brick yard one day. That evening there was a frolic and roast pig was on the bill of fare. The women who were employed to tale the brick, played a conspicuous part in the demise of the porker.

One of the accounts in the old book was with Charles Ramusun an Indian man, for work Feb. 14, 1809.

THE SAMP MORTAR.

The Indians sometimes used the stump of a tree, and attaching the pestle to a sapling making a spring pole, they thus avoided the lifting of the pestle and making the sapling do the work.

They also used a large stone with a depression in it for a mortar.

One of this kind is in possession of a family in Cedar Swamp, at the present time. The “Old People” used a log of some kind of hard wood, about 15 inches in diameter and two feet long, with the end hollowed out and a large wood pestle. This was the kind in general use. Some were fashioned in a regular mortar shape. One of this kind was sold at the auction not long since of the effects of the late John Rogers Duryea of Mutton Town (now Spring Hill). The date was cut in the side 1774, and an initial W. on the edge.

The initial probably intended for that of his grandmother’s name. *

The following is selected from Henry Onderdonck’s collection, although not intended to mean this Roelof but to show the news and advertisements of the early years.

Two days after his arrival there he had his hair cut off so as to disguise his looks. Many of Duryea’s things were

found on him particularly a medal which he wore around his neck and several shirts worked with the initials of his name. A considerable sum of gold was found on him and he showed great signs of guilt on being first apprehended, but denied any knowledge of murder and piracy.

1768, Jan. 25. Rulef Durye offers at vendue his farm in Little Plain Hollow. It contains fifty-five acres 1-3 woodland, a new bam, a double house with three fire places and finished with pannel work and a kitchen adjoining, a garden with picked poles around it and an orchard of 100 appletrees, all in good four rail fence, convenient for shop or tavern. A tavern is kept now.

1775. Oct. 16. Jacob Duryee and Albert Terhunen, Executors offer for sale the homestead of Jost Duryea near Old Neck at Jamaica South, 72 acres on which is a grist mill of one pair of stones, null house, bolting house. Also a fine healthy negro boy ten years old.

VAN COTT.

Claes Cornelise emigrated in 1652 and settled in Bush wick.

The Dutch name of this family was Cats. We find from an old record that Jacob Cats was educated at the University of Leyden in Holland. Our “Old People” spelled the name Kat, Kats, Katts, Van Katts, Van Cats and ended with Van Cott.

Johannes, a son of the emigrant, married Barabra , and

their son, Claes (Nicholas) married Jannetye Wortman.

Claes and Jannetye had six children baptised in the Wolver Hollow Church.

John, bap. in 1749, was the grandfather of Mrs. Alfred Hoog-land of Cedar Swamp.

Cornelius, bap. in 1765, married Sarah Ludlum. Cornelius and Sarah had eight children, of which the }mungest was John, b. April 25, 1810. d. June 12, 1S91. m. Oct. 9, 1849.

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

John owned a farm on the west shore of Oyster Bay Harbor and it will be long remembered by the citizens of the town as being a favorite place for a day’s outing. Van Cott’s picnic ground has been visited by many people. The proprietor had erected a long thatch roof building for dining and dancing for the accommodation of visitors, and a “bath house.” His dwelling was close at hand where all were given a cordial greeting. Some peculiar fancy of John’s had led him to paint the exterior of the buildings in Red, White and Blue. The interiors were decorated in strange and curious figures. One room was painted to represent a “snow storm.” The dining pavilion was decorated with many colored vines and strange animals and even the fences were painted Red, White and Blue. It certainty was a curious and charming place and, like all things else, it has fallen under the hand of time, but the memory abides with us still.

The first of the Layton family in the “Dutch Congregation’’ was William of Wheatly. His wife was Magrite Kettels. William died about 1775. .He divided his property among his six children, giving to William the silver tankard.

For the family record see page 288.

His son David was the Captain of the Military Co. before mentioned. He died in 1802. Will dated Mch. 9, proved Sept. 18, R. L, C. F, 143. Ja. He left eleven children, nine of whom were baptised in the Wolver Hollow Church. One of his sons, Abraham, was celebrated as being a great Wvastier (wrestler). Another son, George, was one of the soldiers in the war of 1812—located in Brooklyn. He was a very turbulent man and quite frequently engaged in a fight with some one. On being remonstrated with for his fighting proclivity he said, “They brought me down'here to fight and I’m going to fight; if I can’t fight with my gun I’m going to fight with my fists. ”

The Oyster Bay Committee were in session at Dan’l Cock’s, Matinecock, when they were informed of the result of the battle at Brooklyn. They at once broke up and hastened home, there

to await their fate, except Joost Monfoort and Isaac Bogart, who took leave of their families, mounted horses and rode off to Huntington Ferry, where they crossed the same night in company with Maj Thome and others and proceeded to Fish-kill. Joost, after a few months’ absence, returned and went to New York to Genl Robertson, who gave him a certificate, but not until one of Montfoort’s neighbors had made a strong effort to defeat the object.

No sooner had Joost Monfoort fled than Capt. Sneden and N. C; came to his residence and were taking an inventory of stock, grain, &c, with a view to its confiscation, when his father told them the property was not Joost’s but his. Thereupon the}^ went off. Joost had three sons, Peter, Abraham and George, in the army at Brooklyn. They had just returned home, when some British light horse rode up to the house by night. They escaped by a back door. The light horse, however, by mistake seized their brother Jacobus, who had not been in arms, and to prevent his escaping the drunken guard made him sit up undressed all night by the fire side. He pointed a pistol at his mother, threatened to rip open the feather beds because she could not tell where her sons had fled, made her draw cider, &c. and to terrify her still more he presented his sword -to Jacobus and then drawing forth his pistol, insisted on a mock fight. After he had thus trifled the night away, early next morning he went off with his prisoner to the “Hollow,” before Squire Van Wyck, where to his mortification he found he had caught the wrong person.

At another time some soldiers piloted by Tories came to his house and wantonly fired into the turkey roost, took four loads of corn from his crib, jumped into the hog pen, run their swords into two of the hogs, threw them into a wagon and carried them off to Jamaica. They also drove off two fat cattle. While the Tories were thus annoying him, Monfoort used to tell them he hoped to see the day when he should have satisfaction. “Ah,” said Squire Van Wyck, “You may live in hopes, but you’ll die in despair. ”

The subjects of “His Majesty”’ were not overburdened with a knowledge of Webster’s Common Spelling Book, and the copies are made as “She was writ. ”

Martin Schenck was born Dec. 26, 1740, and lived on a farm a little south of the Friends’ Meeting House at Manhasset. His first wife was a daughter of Jacob Rapalje of Hell Gate; his second wife was a daughter of Abram Rapalje.

Was Treasurer of Queens Co. in 1786 and 1792 and among the old papers was a letter written to him by Samuel Burr, and dated Norwich, June 23, 1786.

Mr. Schenck died Jan. 23, 1793, and according to Adriaen liegeman’s dkuy was buried Jan. 26, in the old family ground at Cow Neck. Andris McQueen who may be remembered by some old readers, was a dealer in cattle and sheep and used Mr. Schenck’s farm as a resting place, staying for a night there on his way from the city with his drove.

These may certify that the bearer hereof Mr. Martin Schank is a staunch friend to the American cause; a member of the Committee for this district and its Desird that he may pass at large unmolested. ^

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY. 78 1

humbly sheweth that on the 9th day of January, one John Worden, a Reffugee from some part of New England, came to the memorialist’s house with an order from Col. Hamilton to take Bed and Board for himself and family, in your memorialist’s house.

He therefore begs leave with submission to represent the present state of his family to your Excellency.

His house is not large, and has a considerable family to support of both Whites and Blacks, he has spared as much of all lands of provisions as he can for the use of his Majesty’s troops. That in point of duty to his Majesty, the memorialist has done his share in full; with his fellow subjects, which he can make appear by his Captain (Stephen Thorne, Esq.)

And as to the comfortable support of the women and children, lately sent into this part of the country by the Rebels^ he is free and willing to bear his full proportion with the rest of the inhabitants; and any other charitable donations, to the poor and distressed as in time hereafter may appear necessary.

That under the present situation of the memorialist’s with respect to his house and family, he cannot admit the said John Worden and his family into his house.

That the said John Worden and his family is now in a house where Captain Sanford turned a family out of doors, and put him, his wife and seven children in, which house is now wanted for no other purpose.

Wherefore the memorialist most humbly prays your Ex-cellencie’s protection against such intrusion; and as in duty bound ever prays &c.

The further writing appears to be the evidence taken.

Apl. 24, 1778. between one and two in the morning, there came a man who knocked at my door. I called out, who is there? “A friend I hope,” he answered. I asked him, what do you want? “Get up and show me the way to Flushing. ” I told him to go around my garden, and when he came to the meeting house to take his left hand. He told me that he was tired, and I to let him lie by the fire all night. I told him to go in the kitchen. He went off of the stoop, and said that they would not let him in, and he told me that he must come in the house. I gets up and looked out of the window gnd I saw a man sitting all in a heap behind the stoop. I shut the window and told him. that he came to plunder me, “for what does that man sit behind the stoop for, ” and I have expected you and am prepared.

I lights two candles, go up stairs and called down the Refugee, and told my wife to get up and light candles. Took down my gun, lit four candles, built up a large fire and walked the floor for some time.

At length they came like a clap of thunder at the doors and windows; and swore they would split down the door if I did not open. I told them to stand off or I would fire through the door; they cried fire and be-damned.

They split down the door, cried fire, they cried that there was twenty. I said if there is fifty one must die. I snapped the pan of my gun. One jumped behind the pottenbank (cubbord.) I points the gun at him; two jumped behind the table, I turned my gun on them. The one flew from behind the cubbord and took hold of the gun. I said, “I surrender.” He took the gun from me.

One John Heaviland rushed up at me and I stepped back till I got beside the candles, then I stood and viewed him and told him that I knew him.

Then Grit man struck me and throwed me down, struck the

I told him not to break my desk. “Give me the keys,” he said, I gave them, they ondid the desk and cubbord, Gritman and Smith or Heaviland took out my cash and linen; Wanser stood sentry over me and my -wife. My wife thinks Wanser to be one of the men. Bishop can declare to Smith as being one of the men and Gritman, but none of the rest.

They took out of the desk about five or six pounds of money. They took out of the cubbord about 40 shirts and shifts, eight pair of men and women’s stockings (some pair’s cotton and some linen) and about 30 yards of fine linen, two or three sheets, two handkerchiefs, four or five yards of bar-skin (i.e.'probably fustian or lindsey-woolsey) a pair of corduroy breeches, and eight or ten silver buttons are missing.

Smith entered the house first, then Gritman and Heaviland. Smith took the gun out of my hands.

He says at one part of the testimony that a party of men broke into the house and he gives their full names as

Mr. Timmethe Clows came with a party of men in my woods and cut 84 of the best trees he could find to build a block-house and carted it to Lawids (Lloyds) Neck, for which he gave me no return, according to his orders, and I have received no satisfaction. Therefore I demand twenty shillings a tree at the lowest rate.

He makes the above declaration and further adds:

Siles Willis carted 7 loads of wood home. (He was one of the carpenters.) Henderick Hagener carted a great many loads. Edward Penney carted several loads.'

The above was made the basis for a demand to Genl Tryon, as follows:

To his Excellency, Genl. Sir:

William Tryon, &c.

Sir; Mr. Clows sent for me to come up to my woods. I went up; he showed me an order from your Excellency to build a block-house and told me he desired to do it there. I told him the order was good and applyed to him to let me peal the bark off, to which Mr. Clows made no answer, but one of the carpenters standing by told me that they desired to take care of the bark themselves.

I asked him to do as little damage as he could help, and he told me he would. I have understood they have sent five or six loads of bark to New York, and I think there are some of the carpenters who try to destroy my timber, for they cut down trees that are above two feet over and hew them down to five inches, which if they had been sawed or split, might easily have made two pieces as well as one, for they sell the blocks to the inhabitants.

I understand that Mr. Clows says he has a right to sell the tops as well as the bark and blocks; for he says that I shall be paid for every tree he expects.

I should be glad to know whether your Excellency would please to pay me by the tree or for the timber that goes in the house, which I should have been very loth to spare the timber, if it had not been for government.

Tunis Bogart, and Daniel Luyster were returning from a funeral, Sep. 2 1776, when they were arrested by the Halls, of Lloyd’s Neck, (who had also a prisoner from the “Main” shore) and carried to Herricks. It was late and the guard would not disturb the officers. So they were all put in a room in charge of the Halls, who were now drunk. The man from the “Main” slipped off while the Halls were asleep. In the morning Bogart and Luyster were examined and set at liberty, but they had not yet reached home before they were impressed with their wagons

to cart cannon and shot from New Utrecht to Hell Gate. Bogart had a load in his wagon for some weeks, and finally crossed over at Hell Gate and left his load in the upper part of the city. Andrew Hegeman, was also impressed as a wagoner, and he and Tunis’were present at the execution of Capt. Hale (Sept 26). Tunis becoming sick returned home, and his brother George took his place.

He was present as a wagoner at the capture of Fort Washington, and afterwards crossed with the army into Jersey; where Daniel Luyster died with the small pox.

Tunis Bogart, and Daniel Luyster, were the son in law and son respectively of John Lu}^ster mentioned elsewhere.

Tunis Gisbertse Bogart, the common ancestor of the family, emigrated in 1652 from. Heikop in the province of Utrecht.

His son Gisbert, Bap. Dec. 6, 1668 in N. Y.; m. Apl. 16, 1689, Jannetye Symonse Van Aersdalen a widow, and their son Tunis was the ancestor of the Oyster Bay family.

The Hessians lay about Norwich, Jericho, Westbury and Cedar Swamp. Capt. Deemar’s Independent Co. of Hussars, were tented under the hill, in. front of the house of Rem Hegeman, at Cedar Swamp. The captain and his wife were quartered at Rem’s.

The Hessians lay in Wolver Hollow two of the summers and winters, and had tents under the hill near the Burying yard. They stripped the boards off of Isaac Remsen’s blacksmith shop. He then gave them a couple of bushels of potatoes if they would not steal anything. As soon as they were gone he missed his ax.

These three families are represented in the Town now by William Edgar of the Clefts for the first (7th generation.)

John of Wolver Hollow for the 2nd (7th generation) and Abram Van Nostrand of Cedar Swamp for the 3rd (7th generation.)

One peculiar feature the Compiler has noticed in the records of the Remsen families.and that was, second marriages. Another was, twins.

The Compiler was told of one who was the mother of four pair.

The Dutch mothers were wonderfully prolific, but the after generations were not so. The families growing less in number and at the present time the children can be counted on the fingers of one hand, when formerly it required more than three hands.

The door of Joost Hegeman, of Cedar Swamp, was forced open by a rail. The robbers could find no money, but carried off some trifling articles.

They dropped a cap as they left the house by which it was discovered that they belonged to a Co. of soldiers billeted in Cedar Swamp. James a lad (afterwards became Judge Hegeman) escaped and alarmed the neighbors, but they escaped in the darkness.

They impressed Anthony Van Nostrand into carting for them, and-on his refusal to do so, they took the team and kept them for nearly a week, having driven as far as Sag.

Anthony Smith son of his sister Elsie, his long gun. To David Whaley his clothing.

Some of the older people now living can remember Old John and Billy Moore. One of them used to ride around Norwich in an old times, high wheeled, big leather seated sulky. John was b. in 1788 and William in 1793. Of Anthony we shall learn more further 011. To the Compiler these two names have had a peculiar attraction. “Anthony and Mercy.” He was a true type of the farmer and was wise in his day and seemed to say little and think much. He had his troubles like other people, but of them we are silent.

John Moore’s sister Hannah married James Waldron and they were the ancestors of the now Norwich Waldrons.

The Compiler w r as informed that the “Old Desk” of Anthony is in the possession of that family.

Jacobus Monfoort, hearing a noise in his cow yard, fired in the dark and wounded a Hessian baker in the neck. He was seized and carried before an officer, who at once dismissed him, saying. If you had killed him, I’d have given you a guinea.

Jacobus was the great grandfather of Mrs. Walter Franklin of Norwich.

A week after the Kings county horse had driven the cattle off of Hog Island to Matinecock, a detachment of the 17th light dragoons appeared at Norwich and apprehended George Townsend a chairman of the Queens Co. committee, and John Kirk, also a committee man.

Townsend was not at home the first time his house was visited, but had fled to Huntington, whence he unfortunately returned. Kirk was in his com field stouting top stalks. When warned of the approach of the enemy and advised to flee, he refused, saying lie was ready for his fate now, for should he escape this time, he could have no peace till they seized him. He had also a faint hope from the proclamation of Howe, promising pardon to all who would remain quietly at home. They conducted the two committee men on horseback to the house of Samuel Townsend, member of the Provincial Congress.

They found him seated on his stoop, and informed him of their

business, a crowd soon gathered around, attracted by the novel sight of British light horse and sjunpathy for their fellow citizens.

The officers were most hospitably entertained, and such appliances used that on one Buchanan’s promising he should be forthcoming at New York whenever summoned, he was allowed to go at large. Far different was the fate^of the other two. George Townsend having been chairman of the committee and withal a bold, blunt, talented man, had exasperated his loyal neighbors past endurance, and could find no intercessors in his hour of peril and when an old acquaintance, John Townsend, at the mill, was importuned to say a kind word for Kirk, he coolly replied, “He has got into this scrape himself, let him help himself out as best he can. ”

This same Townsend was forced to leave his property at the peace, and go in exile to England, where he died.

The troopers on their return to Norwich, were met by Kirk’s wife and daughter, who had gathered up some clothing and other articles, to render the hardships of prison more tolerable. To soothe their anguish, the women were told the prisoners would soon be released. That night they were shut up in the meeting house at Flushing, and next day taken to the Provost, 'where they were thrown among the off scouring of the earth, but after repeated remonstrance, they were separated from this vile herd.

Penelope Hull, a Quakeress, offered to carry them food twice a day. Their washing was done at home. After nine weeks’ imprisonment, two English Quakers, Jacob Watson and Robert Murray, procured their release, and became security for their good behavior.

That evening, as the family of Kirk was seated quietly by the fireside they heard a knocking at the door. “There’s the soldiers again, ’’ exclaimed the affrighted mother. She was mistaken. It was George Townsend’s voice. “Why don’t you come and help your father out of the chaise?” He was sick of the small pox, caught in the Provost; and his return home, instead of diffusing joy and peace, spread consternation and death.

The husband, indeed recovered, but the wife and her infant daughter, went down to /the grave.

John of Mill Neck, was at one time Alderman in Brooklyn, and the patriotic blood of John Kirk of Norwich has not been lost after the passing of so many years, as per the following.

Alderman Cashow at a meeting of the Brooklyn Common Council Dec. 12, 1857 presented a Memorial of the Trustees of the association for the erection of a monument to the memory of the Martyrs of the prison ships. In connection he offered the following:

Whereas, -the remains of more than eleven thousand of the martyrs of the “Prison ships of the Revolution” at the Walla-bout, have been too long suffered to remain in their obscure and unhonored graves in the city of Brooklyn, without any monuments to commemorate their patriotic and heroic deeds; and whereas, the Legislature of this state, at its last session, passed an act providing for the erection of a tomb and monument on Washington park, former ty known as “Fort Greene,” and authorizing the Common Council to take measures to erect the same, and whereas we the representatives of the people of this city, are in favor of said act, and of its being carried into execution, and thus render partial tho long delayed justice to the memory and due honor to the remains of those brave men who sacrificed their lives for their country.

(The Tomb was afterwards built and the remains removed thereto.—Compiler.)

Jan, the ancestor of the family, came to this country as early as 1642, was a shoemaker by trade. Settled at first in New Amsterdam, where he kept a tap-house or tavern, and was afterwards among the first settlers of Flatbush.

In 1646, he owned a lot in New Amsterdam between the Fort and the river. His grandson Garret, was the first clerk of the church in Wolver Hollow.

Garret Snediker. Born Sep. 30, 1699. Married Nov. 25, 1726., Crisstieinea Lequear.

For the family record see page 499.

It will be noticed that the record of birth of the last child is marked, “New Style.” In 1752 eleven days were taken from the month of September and the third of the month was called the 14th, and after that the term, “New Style,” was used. The “Great-Bible” of Garret is in the possession of Miss Kate Downing of Norwich. The entry therein in Dutch says that he was married in Mide Woudt and that he was buried in liegeman’s graveyard, in Cedar Swamp.

His son Wilhelmis, m. Marya Cashow, and were the grand parents of George S. Downing Esq., of Norwich.

Marya lived to the age of 98 years.

Israel Pearsall was twice beset by robbers, in both cases they had poor success and only carried ofi some spoons and linen. On one occasion Israel was lying in his bed in the early part of the evening, when w r ord was brought him that robbers were below. He ran out on the roof and cried “murder.” It was heard by a neighbor who fired an alarm, and then it was pop, pop, all over the neighborhood.

Israel had a maiden sister, wdio had been at a house in Cedar Swamp that this same gang had previously robbed.

She sung out to them from an upper window. “What do you want?”

Instantly recognizing her sharp voice they cried out. “What! are you here too?”

To prevent robberies, a patrol was kept by the military, along shore.

This duty was very laborious. The Military from Wolver Hollow were required to patrol on the sound and East Side of Hempstead Harbor. One night the patrol there heard the whale boats rowing, when Tunis Bogart fired and two boats put about instantly.

Sep. 12., 1778 a party of rebels came over from Connecticut to Oyster Bay; and plundered the house of Wm. Cock, of goods to the amount of £140. They compelled Mr. Cock, and his family, to cany the goods nearly two miles, to their whale boats. They got away unmolested. Silas Downing’s store at Cedar Swamp was entered by five soldiers from Jericho. A number of free-booters, in two boats came over to Red Spring and robbed the house of Jacob Carpenter, and John Weeks and then made off, they returned again to Oak Neck and robbed two unprotected weavers.

The whale boat men, were Americans from Connecticut, and had commissions from the Governors of New York and Connecticut, to cruise on the sound against British vessels but used their authority to engage in a general plunder.

Jan Monfort, (who married Ida Luyster a daughter of Peter) it is to be regretted was a Tory. He lived at Wheatly during the war, and as there were soldiers all around him, he made friends with them, partly because he could talk Dutch to the Hessians. Jan was not an “offensive partisan” but used his good offices, for the benefit of his neighbors and prevented the soldiers from annoying them.

Although being a Tory he had some redeeming qualities. He carried the church along during the troubled times and Sundays used to read sermons in Dutch to the congregation.

now at Jamaica; and if the rising generation, wish to spend an hour or two of real enjoyment, they should select some such representative of the old people of the Dutch congregation. The Compiler called on her, at her home, in Jamaica.

It was a great pleasure, to sit and listen to the stories of the past, and when the visit terminated, it was hard to tell which had been pleased the most.

The family record of Jan, presents many of the peculiar features of the customs of the early Dutch.

Jan was a son of Abraham and at the first baptism of Jan’s children, Joris Brinkelhof and Yda Mefoor were the witnesses to the baptism of Abraham June 8, 1755, afterwards the following children were baptised:

Sara. Feb. 6, 1757.

Sarah, bom Dec. 30, 1778 married Nicholas Mabee of Wolver on Feb. 11, 1810. Jan. 21, 1759 Piter Luyster the first settler and his second wife Catrina Lot were witnesses, and on Apl. 14, 1771, Helena Ammerman, Jan’s second wife’s mother was a' witness.

The old custom of naming the children after those deceased is fully exemplified in this record.

speak for itself, and the readers to draw their own conclusions.

We have a collection of fifty two letters written by Peter Mon-foort of Fishkills or Viskill as he generally wrote it, to Peter Onderdonck of Cow Neck, Long Island. He begins them, Beminde Cozzn and writes the first half of the letter in a thankful spirit to God for being kept in health and strength and allowed to live, because of his sinful heart. He quotes several texts of Scripture on that subject and ends the same with, Amen, so let it be. This part of the letter being written in Dutch, as if no other language would do to record the things pertaining to his Faith.

The second part is written in English and appertains mostly to secular subjects. The following is the closing paragraph of a letter dated Sep. 20, 1786.

“Hoping that these few lines may find you and }mur family in good health and all our near and dear friends. I should be glad to see you and all my friends once more in the land of the living. But I am old and feeble. I think I dare not venture to travel far, so that if you and my friends don’t come to see me, I don’t expect to see any of you any more on this side of Eternity. O might we all be so happ}^ to meet in the mansions of glory above, there to praise God with all the saints and spirits of the just, through that never ending time of all eternity, which God grant may be our happy portion. Amen.

Our kind love and respects to you and family and all our near and dear friends I am 3mur well wisher and brother in Christ.

Peter Monfoort.

Sep. 18, 1790. Fie writes.

Dear Cozin. You make mention in your letter about the “Quakers.” I look upon them, that their principles are very corrupt—the best thing I can see in them is that they are not very apt to curse and swear, nor take the name of God in vain in their mouths. , In this I must commend them. So far so good, but that alone can’t lead them to heaven—there is more required of us than morallity. Dear Sir. How awful is the

state of us fallen mortals. We all aim to go to heaven, and bv nature we seek to go our own way; not seeing our inability by reason of our blindness. Jesus Christ tells us, ye will not come to me that ye may have life. The times amongst us is a very difficult time.

The “Methodist” doctrin, I look upon is a dangerous doctrin, by reason, they begin with the truth and are very zealous but they end in errors.

I have seen their Book, they title it the (Armenian Magazine). I have had the perusal of it but four or five days. I read some of their stories they proscribed about the National Sinnod that was held at Dort in Holland in the years 1618 and 1619, but they awfully ’belie the members of that Sinnod, for I have all the sittings of that Sinnod from the beginning to the end. I would not advise anybody to go much in their hearing that ain’t well versed in the truth. My kind love to you and family and all inquiring friends.

I remain your well wisher in the Lord

Peter Monfort.

The old man was in his 75th year, but seemingly had a clear brain and some good ideas as under date of Mch. 31, 1787 he writes:

Dear Sir. You make mention of our Legislation bod}^ of men and high taxes it is true. I think there is to many pensioners in the cabinet by more than one half, too many cooks spoils the broth. I have talked with several people that there was too many, and never heard but one say in the multitude of counsel is wisdom, but we often see in the multitude of people great folly. Only observe what is our legislative body about, there they meet at New York in beginning of winter, and sit there and chat and cavil with one and other and do nothing to purpose and bring a great tax upon the people.

Less than one half of these pensioners could do the business as well as all and a great deal sooner. I should be glad if we could throw them out. Some say it would be breaking the Constitution but, I say, it would be mending of it, because it would take a great measure of the burden from the people. We

have strove hard to get rid from the burdens England was going to bring us under.

I am afraid if affairs a’nt altered amongest us that we will be prest and groan as much under our own burdens. I pray the Lord may direct all things in due time for the good of church and state. May the God that made us, have mercy on us and smile upon us for our good. Amen.

Dear Sir, You make mention of Paper Emmission, if it had not been struck, people could not bought those superfluities and gone on in pride as they do, but I can’t see how that could hinder, for the merchants will trust them and they will have them if they should starve and rob their bellies from necessary food. That devlish pride lays in the heart of us sinners, O that we might see what a nest of sin our hearts are by nature, how would it humble us in the dust before the Lord.

I remain your well wisher in the Lord

Charles Simonson, Sergeant to you these horses.

We are sorry to have to record the fact of there being one of the Simonsons found in the service of the enemy. It stands out in quite a contrast to the record of another one of the family who was found bearing arms for his country. The following are extracts from letters written by him while so engaged. He belonged to the ist Division of Sharp Shooters, 18th Army Corps.

Fortress Monroe. Camp Hamilton, Nov. 26, 1862. He says that he had received a box from home, and had just finished fixing his tent, and that there were a great many soldiers there and everything is “lively” even to the bacon that we get to eat.

Tom Carpenter sent him a pipe and tobacco and “I had a big smoke Sunday evening you bet.” Another letter was dated “Chapins farm” Nov. 19, 1864 where he seems to have been on special duty, as he speaks about having been several times within the enemy’s lines.

His name was Charles P. Simonson.

The following is taken from an old survey which reads:

A card of Johanns Simonson’s Land containing 125 acres 1 quarter and 10 rods, besides the highway and Mouris Simonson’s 7 acres lying at the northeast comer of this card.

Let us turn from the details of old books and papers to another record of the “ Old People. ”

One of the traditions. It is said that a long time ago, the devil set up a claim to Connecticut as a part of his domain, and went over there to dispossess the Indians, but met with defeat and was forced to retreat to Throgg’s Point. The tide being very low and the passage not wide, he crossed over to Long Island by stepping from, rock to rock, hence the name “ Stepping Stones.”

YflOTc r '■ J A

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

After brooding over his defeat some length of time, he went to work and collected together all the rocks he could get at, and then vented his anger by hurling them over to Connecticut at the Indians. Here the tradition appears to have ended but the researches of the Compiler brings to light the fact that he did not dispose of all the rocks, but left two.

The Dutch people have been likened to a hive of bees; and about the year 1700, the hive became too crowded and the Dutch Bees “swarmed” and alighted in Oyster Bay Town. It must have been about this time, when the demon was throwing the rocks, he looked up and saw the bees coming; taking the two rocks he had left, they were planted in the road and thus making the boundary -between Cedar Swamp and Musketo Cove and stopping further progress of the bees in that direction, and to use a Scripture phrase, the rocks are there to this day.

During the war the young women carried out their religious teaching, by loving their enemies; some of them, becoming attached to the British soldiers.

The records show that Mr. Bloomer m. at Flushing. Hetty Wortman to Capt. Jarvis Dobbs of the sloop Abigail and Annatie Wortman to Capt. Heyman Clark, of the Industry, and Martha Remsen, of Wolver Hollow to James Hume, 2d Lieut, in his Majesty’s army, by Mr. Cutting of Hempstead. Previous mention has been made of the Pearsall family, for reason they were near neighbors of the Dutch living just beyond the boundry line before named.

The pathetic story of Patty Pearsall is in great contrast to the happy termination of the other love affairs.

We have no doubt but that she was a charming and lovely girl, and she too, had her soldier lover.

The affection between them from what happened afterwards was evidently deep and lasting, although it all came about between the latter part of August and the middle of October.

The old adage “that hot love soon cools” was not applicable in this instance. The young soldier had been billeted at Thomas Pearsall’s (the father of Patty.) The Lieut, received orders to return to England and before going away he writes the following on the glass of the window to his room:

.Y*MWW VMM > a A

Friday , Oct. 16 th, 1776 Lieut Thomas Keating went from this House , a/ which he ivas agreeably quartered , to go to Europe.

The dear and lovely Patty Pearsall. Joy of my heart and comfort of my eye. The only care and business of my youth.

It is not for us to detail the scene of parting. He went away and never returned. The ship in which he sailed was lost and every soul on board perished. The news broke Patty’s heart and destroyed her reason.

In later years the old house of Tbos. Pearsall was enlarged and the sash with the inscribed glass was taken out of its place and stored in the garret.

We would not attribute veiy much romance to the nature of the sturdy old “Quaker” Edward L. Frost, but the preservation of the sash was due to him and he turned it over to Gen. James B. Pearsall, and from his son Thomas the Compiler received a copy of the inscription on the glass. The sash is now in his keeping.

It will be noticed the day was Friday when the Lieut, departed. The “Old People” would consider that a sufficient reason for the misfortunes that followed.

To complete the Legend of the Rocks the “Old People” further said that at certain times when the cock crowed the larger of the rocks turned around three times.

Oct. 21, 1776. The King being in possession now of Queens Co. and his soldiers scattered over it; the whigs and Loyalists joined in a petition that the county might be restored to Royal favor, and there were some 1,400 signers, among them our Dutch People.

It must have been a bitter dose for them to take. Perhaps they thought, that as they were forced by circumstances to sign, it was not binding on their conscience, or may be signed with a mental reservation, as is done at this advanced age; relying on the old adage that “all things come to him who waits” and when

it does come, their Loyalist neighbors were likely to receive a benefit, which ultimately, (as we know) they did receive.

Aug 10th, 1782. The Loyalists began to realize the effect of the coming storm, as appears from an address to Sir Guy Carlton and Admiral Digby of this date.

“It is impossible for us to express the consternation with which we are struck, even on the probability of so calamitous an event as the independency of the thirteen provinces of America taking place. We cannot suppress our feelings on a point so exceedingly momentous to our future peace, safety and happiness.”

The Courts in Queens County were closed from Sept. 1773, to May 1784.

The Superior Court opened at Albany at the peace, when a great number of persons from very distant abodes appeared, to traverse the indictments preferred against them on the charge of adhering to the enemies of this state.

The trespass act was aimed at the Loyalists, and affected them seriously.

Under this act, the Whigs sued the Loyalists before a justice of the peace, for impressing a team, taking a horse, hay, grain, &c., and the suits generally went one way.

John Luyster, of Cedar Swamp, had a fine horse taken under an impress warrant by Squire V. W., who returned him after a while much jaded. lie sued at Norwich and recovered damages.

B. Rushmore, also sued him for cattle driven off for the British; but before the trial, V. W. had gone to Nova Scotia. John Luyster, was the son of Peter; the first of that family locating in Oyster Bay.

John Luyster was b. Jan. 24, 1721, and d. June 2, 1803, his wife was Elizabeth, dau. of Daniel Voorhees, and Phebe Bennet. John was the great grandfather of John Luyster Bogart, of Wolver Hollow.

The following has reference, to Peter Luyster the first settler, (John’s father).

THE SONS OF REM.

Rem Jansen Vanderbeeck, the common ancestor of the Remsen family emigrated from Ieveren Westphalia. His descendants dropped the family name of Vanderbeek, and, as was the custom at the time, assumed that of Remsen, or “Sons of Rem. ” Was a blacksmith by trade, residing for some time in Albany. He finally settled on a plantation at the Wallabout, which he obtained prior to 1643. His i ssue ar ® given elsewdiere.

The name Rem, seems to have been very popular among the “Dutch Congregation, ” as there was Rem Bennet, Rem Cashow, Pvem Hegeman, Rem Hardenburgh, R.em Nostrand, Rem Simonson, Rem Monfoort. The name was corrupted into Ram, Rampey, Ramsey.

The following commission was issued to Rem Bennet Simonson, whom the Compiler has designated as “Rem the Warrior.” His son Aaron was called by the “Old People” “Aaron the 'lawyer. ”

On the 12th of March 1810, Governor Daniel D. Tompkins appointed Rem B. Simonson, Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of a Regiment of Militia in the County of Queens.

It has long been an unsettled question as to whether the

A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.

Simonson famity came from the Van Arsdales, or the Van Nostrands, and that is another story.

Hans Jansen Van Noortstrant the Emigrant, had a son called Simon, and Simon had a son Frederick. According to the custom of the early times, Frederick was designated as Frederick Simonse (the son of Simon.)

Frederick Simonse (Van Nostrand) of Flatbush, Brooklyn and Bush wick, m. Aug. 13, 1687, Lea Fonteyn a French girl. They had issue:

Carel bap. Apl. 25, 1688 in N. Y. (see Simonson.)

Chrystyntye, bap. June 30, 1692 in N. Y.

Frederick, bap. Feb. 12, 1699 in B’klyn who m. Cornelia Foster (see Nostrand.)

It was the custom of the very early times, for the people of the surrounding country, to go to the Dutch Church in New Amsterdam, to have the marriage ceremony performed and to have the Babies baptised.

The record of which was carefully kept. Jacob Janzen Van Noorstrant emigrated in 1638. His daughter Jannetye Jacobse said she was bom at Halve Maen (Half Moon) and Aaron Van . Noortstrant appears to have been her brother.

This Aaron on March 7, 1695-6 bought 2 house plots, with house, barn and orchard, in Flatbush of Gerardus Beekman, which he sold May 27, 1704 to Johannes Janse. He then settled in Fosters Meadow, Queens Co.

» Aaron’s son Jacob, settled in Wolver Hollow. The deed of the church ground says “beginning three rods east from the well of Jacob Van Nostrand. ’’

This brings to mind the 4th chapter of John, and the 6th verse. “Now Jacob’s well was there. ’’

The records of Aaron Van Noortstrant’s people, are found in the Dutch Church in New York and Hackensack and Kingston and Jamaica.

Halve Maen was up on the Hudson River, and it is there where Aaron’s father probably settled.

There was a Simon Simonse Van Arsdalen, a son of the Emigrant, but the evidence is. not as conclusive as the foregoing, as to his being the ancestor of the Simonson family.

Jacob Janszen Van Noordstrandt as appears was here a year earlier.

Jacob’s son Peter Jacobse by the records had a mill at Wild-wyck on the Esopus, (now Kingston)

Doc. Iiis. N. Y. Vol 4 has this record Sep. 18, 1663. Presented the following request to the Magistrates of this village of Wildwyck.

Whereas the Heer Director General and the Heeren Councillors have written to us here that it is their intention to send hither by the first opportunity additional Soldiers and a party of Marseping Savages (Queens Co. Indians) to seek out and subdue as much as possible the Esopus Indians (our enemy); the Captain, Lieutenant and Council of War therefore request the Sheriff and Commissaries of this village of Wildwyck to be pleased to allot two or three houses in this village to lodge, provisionally, the aforesaid force whenever it shall arrive. This doing our friendship shall follow. Done, Wyldwick, 18th Sept. 1663. Answer of the court as follows:

The W. Court having looked around at the request of the Capt. Lieutenant and Council of War for proper lodgings for the coming forces have induced Pieter Jacobsen to give his mill for 40 to 50 soldiers and the W. Court will do its best to find out quarters for the savages.

Oct. 15th. “Hans the Norman” arrived at the Redoubt at Wildwyck with his yacht (all sailing boats were called yachts) from Fort Orange (Albany) and reported that full seven thousand Indians had assembled, &c. &c.

Feb. io, 1689. Aaron Jacobse and Altje Alberson had a daughter Jannetje, bap. in Kingston. Her father Albert Jansen Van Steenwyck was one of the witnesses.

The clerk of the Kingston church should have written the name Altje Albertse.

July 31, 1692. The clerk in N. Y. wrote it Aeltje Steenwyck.

Feb. 12, 1696. He wrote it Aeltje Van Steenwyck, when her father was a witness again. The Compiler has been particular about this early record for reason that this Jacobse family were thought to be the real Van Nostrands, and were of a more exalted family than those without the Van.

Hans Jansen’s descendants dropped the Van in many cases as has been written.

Rem Bennet was the son of Joris Bennet and Sara Dorlant. He was b. in 1733 and m. Cattryna Hoogland. The brother of Joris, called Johannes m. Malte Letten and were the ancestors of the Norwich Bennets; one of the great grandsons is ‘Nicholas of Oyster Bay b. in 1813.

Rem or Johannes Cashow,'was a grand son of Johnnes Cas-how and Marytie Symonsen. He was b. in 1768.

His first wife was Hanke Hegeman—(see post Mitchell letter Aug. 22, 1787).

His second wife was a granddaughter of Johannes Bennet.

Rem was buried in the Hillside cemetery at Cedar Swamp.

Rem Hegeman b. in 1738 was a grandson of Adriaen the first settler.

James M. Onderdonck who passed away a few months since m. a great granddaughter of Rem.

Rem Hegeman owned a farm in Cedar Swamp that is now owned by Eugene A. Bogart. The negroes used to say there were grated cells-in the cellar where bad negroes were shut up.

Rem Hardenbergh was b. about 1740 and was the son of Henderickus and Jannetye Dorlant. He was a batchelor and d. in April, 1808. Will dated Sep. 26, 1807. Probated May 24, 1808. Recorded L, C. F, 52. Ja. He gives to his nephew, Hendrick, his Watch and Gun.

The story is told of the Hardenbergh family that one year their stock of wheat in the bam was ruined by the rats and in order to get rid of the rodents they sot fire to the building and it was consumed. The up-to-date narrator would say they had “money to bum.”

Rem Nostrand was of a later generation. He married a daughter of Garnet Wortman of Muttontown. There was a Rem Nostrand many 37'ears earlier.

In the Documentary History of New York we find that in 1698 there were listed as being among the Dutch Inhabitants of Flushing, Garratt Hanson and Janneke his wife and their children Iianse, Rem , Jan, Peter, Daniel, Joris, Janake, Cattaline.

Garratt was the son of Hans Janzen Van Noordstrandt (the Emigrant) but Garratt’s children left the Van from their names and the aforesaid Rem became plain Rem Nostrand. According to the Dutch custom his right name would be Rem Gerretse Van Noordstrandt. Rem Monfoort was a brother of Peter of Fishkill.

The first burying ground used by the old people was adjoining the church on the east side, and about all that remains are two Brown Headstones erected to the memory cf John and Jane Van Nostrand. They had four children. Egbertie, born August 4, 1747, married Adriaen Hegeman 3d, Nov. 13, 1762 in N. Y., and they had five children, all girls. Adriaen being a good patriot joined the American Army and died at Criple Bush Oct. 5th, 1776. His widow whose name the old people transformed into Ach-butche, married the second time Oct. 19, 1780, Jan Peter Row # a Scotchman. They had one son Frederick born July 20, 17Si, Frederick when ten years of age w r ent to school in Brooklyn for some four years, as his Cyphering Book (bought at N. Y. Price 2s. 6d.) shows.

Under his name he writes:

They cost the sum of three score pounds Upon my word its true.

The harness come to half the horse The horse to twice the chaise If you can find the price of them Take them and go your way.

When first the marriage knot was tied Between my wife and me,

My age did hers as far exceed As three times three does three.

But after ten and half ten years We man and wife had been Her age came up as near to mine As eight is to sixteen.

(By the Compiler.) The old man had probably heard the talk about war in Europe, and the insurrection in Massachusetts, and the troubles over the adoption of the Constitu tion, and as he had just been through one war he felt a little uneasiness of mind over the outcome. Why he should write this letter in Dutch when the previous and subsequent ones were written in English is hard to determine/ It will be noticed he does ibt commit himself on the subject of the Constitution, but talks on both sides of it.

NAMES.

There were some very peculiar features about the “Old Names. ”

In the Duryea family was often heard the name “Roelof ” and this was spelled in many ways. It was not a family name and did not appear until about the fourth generation and then it came from the Terhune family, the Duryea boys married a number of Terhune girls. The name Joost being the Duryea name.

Aaron, Albert and John were the names of the Van Nostrands and they were carried along through every generation.

Garret, Daniel and Peter were the names of the Nostrand family.

Peter, John and Jacobus were Luyster names and Johannes, Tunis, Nicholas and Cornelius were Van Cotts.

The Simonsons had Frederick, Mouris, Johannes and William.

There was something peculiar also as to the association of the name with the family. The [names w^ere euplionous.

When we attempt to change the names around they loose their association, and symmetry. Roelof Van Cott would loose all its peculiar charm beside Roelof Terhune, and so would Rem Duryea. Many 'of the Dutch emigrants came to this country with only one namg. John from Wickele, Stephen son of Coert from before Ilees.

Jacob from Noordstrandt, Dirck son of Jan (Hoogland) from Maarssenveen, and many others; the result being the taking the name of the place from whence the emigrant came.

Then again those who were so fortunate as to have two names were made peculiar by the different manner each scribe wrote it. Peter Luyster and his son John signed one of the church records and one wrote his name Luyster and the other Luister.

The name Brinckerhoff was subject to these changes by the peoples themselves.

Diana Brinkerluf of Newtown Will dated Sep. 7, 1749, gives to each one of her children a slave.

Abraham Brickluff of Newtown Will dated Apl. 19, 1763, gives to his five children.

Then we have Jan of Wheatly b. Jan. 7, 1723 down as Brinkelhof.

Here we have three generations spelling the name different and they being all of the same family.

The correct pronunciation as the Compiler has heard it given by the Old People is or was, as if it was in two syllables Brink luf.

The significance of birthdays as taught the Compiler by his grandmother.:

Mondays baaren is fair of face Tuesdays baaren is a child of grace Wednesdays baaren is a child of woe Thursdays baaren has far to go Fridays baaren is loving and giving Saturdays baaren works hard for a living And the child that’s born on the Sabbath day is lucky and bonny and blithe and gay.

Called to this Station by your Will I shall endeavour to perform the Duties incumbent on me according to the best of my Abilities. Good Order in the transaction of business is so Evidently necessary, that I shall expect your assistance in preserving it on all occasions. As our Aim is to improve in Friendship and general Information every Member should strive to do something for the benefit of the whole as w r ell as for his own Improvement. But the pursuit of Knowledge is in some respect much like many other pursuits in Life and he who makes the greatest Exertion will generally progress fastest. Although from our situation in Life we can hardly hope soon to arrive at great Eminence in the Improvement of the mind; yet should no one be Discouraged on that Account. Let us consider that between the most learned and the most unlearned there are A great many Intermediate stations that may be filled with Honour and Credit to ourselves, and perhaps with Advantage to the Community in which we live. Nor should any Member think himself Deficient in point of genius or natural Abilities, A portion of which is given to every Man; And the great difference that is seen amongst Men arises much more from what they Acquire by their own Industry and Application than from anything that is Born with them.

If A Man has good common Sense (and most of Men do have it) there‘is no doubt that he is capable of Improving to such a degree as to Cut A good figure in the world.

Dr. Franklin is an Instance in point, and it is both Pleasant and Instructive to trace his rise and progress through life. From the most humble beginning he rose to the highest Honours of the state; And all in Consequence of his own Industry. Let us not despair of following his Example.

Is it in his pugilistic strength or athlecticity, let them not be named in comparison with female accomplishments, or let us turn our eyes to the Esquimaux, South Sea Islands, or the frozen region of Lapland, and we shall then see the women who undertake to perform all the labors of the field as much above us in :this particular, as we imagine ourselves superior to our women.

Is it in the military or political line. I must confess that in general men have been superior in the art of human slaughter and procuring human misery and degradation, but even to this position a Semiramis, Baodeica, Queen Elizabeth, The Empress Catharine II and the maid of Orleans, Joan DeArc, form direct and explicit exceptions; when then I again ask is this boasted superiority to be found. I may perhaps be answered in general terms that it is in knowledge and information. O11 this head permit me to make a few observations, and in the first place I ask, does superior knowledge add to the happiness of man.

This I question. I am convinced can only be answered in the negative, when we consider under the three following positions.

•i$t. It does not add to our happiness because with knowledge, a knowledge of our wants and imperfections are encreased. without the means of satisfying or removing them.

2d. That there is no satisfaction to be received from the persuit of knowledge. A person who sets out to learn everything, will find that the further he proceeds the greater will his disappointment be. he can only learn his ignorance of things of which he before had no idea.

3d. that it'damps his present enjoyment by the knowledge of these things which may destroy it.

Pleasures are always damped by a knowledge of the various accidents which momently hang over, ready to destroy it. not

perceived by the ignorant who enjoy the present good without the fear arising from the imagination of a future evil.

In parts superior, what advantage lies,

Tell (for you can) what is it to be wise.

T ’is but to know, how little can be known,

To see all others faults and feel our own.

Condemn’d in business or in arts to drudge Without a second and without a judge.

Truth would you teach to save a sinking land,

All fear, none aid you, and few understand.

Painful, pre eminence yourself to view,

Above life’s weakness and its comforts too.

Virtue alone is happiness below. The only point where human bliss stands still, a conscious rectitude of intention in all our actions, that preserves; a still and quiet conscience, will never fail to secure our serenity and repose. And where is the conversation that will be most conducive to this to be obtained, among men or women, the later unquestionabty.

Woman says the poet is Heavens last best gift to man.

TITo nature spread round him her primeval bloom, amidst the fragrance and serenity of Eden; Th’o the charms of earth and heaven, with the novelty of existence, conspired to entrance his pleasures; yet amid all this profusion of delights, something seemed wanting/ A langour still hung round his senses and “Man the hermits sigh’d till woman smiled. ”

That smile alone could animate his seclusion could fill his eye with eestacy; thrill his bosom with transport; that smile alone could harmonise the music of the groves and spread a complacency over the face of nature.

Thus has providence in the very event of Creation pronounced the Society of Women essential to the happiness of man, and she who in the abodes of innocence was destined only to propitiate the enjoyments has become the allotted companion of vicissitude.

HISTORY OF &N ACCOUNT BOOK.

In 1752 a School Teacher began keeping his accounts in it. He entered on the debit side the charges for teaching the children. Heading the page with the name of the parent. The teaching appears to have been in the vicinity of The Half Hollow Hills and Huntington, as these names are entered after the parents name. We can determine in a measure the character of the peoples’ occupation by the articles that were sold to the teacher. Money was very scarce in those times and the teacher was obliged to trade out his bill. If he taught for a farmer, he bought grain, for a shoemaker he bought shoes or had mending done. .

Frederick Rowe, Adrian’s grandson, now seems to have beconv the possible holder. He was a good penman and he illustrated the work with pen and ink sketches of Indians, bears, horses and also ships. One page devoted to ships was a marvel of penmanship. Page after page the human face was pictured with just about three or four marks of the pen.

Its next owner was Elbert McQueen, who was the great grandson of the 3d Adrian Hegeman. Elbert added nothing but good care and from his sisters family, the compiler was allowed the pleasure of making a copy. The 3d Adrian had a brother Petrus who succeeded to the farm and he added a number of pages to the original book and continued the diary after the death of his father.

During the time of Petrus a cider mill was built on the place (see Diary) about 1797 and up to 1820 was very generally patronized by the farmers, some fifty names appearing on the account of the cider mill. This crude record appears in the book:

“The oners of the Cider Mill concluded at a meeting 13 May 1817 that it where proper for the hole of them to carry in the account of Cider made to the mill, to Mr. Hegeman, and each pay for making.” **

The farmers brought the apples to the mill and made the cider and paid 3 pence per bbl to the mill owner. Aron Van Nostrand had a general supervision and a statement of receipts shows there was due him when the above resolution took effect “Due Aron on his part 17s 4d.”

SCHOOLS &c.

Religion and instruction went hand in hand among the Dutch.

The Lords Prayer, Creed, Decalogue, morning and evening prayer, grace before and after meals.

The schoolmaster took the lead in setting and singing the psalm & Hymns and read the Commandments at the morning worship and the Apostles creed in the afternoon. These were all prepared in the Dutch language and continued so to be until about 1790.

It was not until after 1776 that the school house appeared to have place. Then they were located in some God forsaken place and as an old writer says, where beans and buckwheat would not grow.

The school master was poorly paid and one of them remarked “ ’Tis little they pays me and little I teaches ’em.” “He boarded around” and continued to do so until as late as 1850.

The early school house was a very plain structure. Those of this people were a simple box like building covered with shingles and unpainted.

Inside a .small platform at one end, the desk was one continuous one around and fastened to the side of the room.

The seats were long wood benches. All the scholars sat with their backs toward the centre of the room.

The one in mind had a square cast iron stove which was put in a box of sand to prevent the floor from catching fire.

Goose quill pens were the only kind known, and the master was or had to be an artist in penmaking.

These are two of the copy book headings of Catherine Luyster’s paper Aug. 7th 1809.

“Riches serve a wise man and rule a fool.”

“Young men go to death bUt death goes to men.”

This Catherine was born in 1797 and on July 4th, 1879, s ^ e writes a letter to her sister Phebe the wife of Adrian Luister a portion of which is copied as follows:

“Sometimes this hot weather I feel so weak and feeble I can hardly get around. I sit in my own room most of the time. I hear so little about what they are saying I ma} 7 as well be alone as not.

“Sometimes I think about old John Robins where we went to school. He went with his hand behind him talking all the time to himself, so I do the same thing sometimes. I went with James L. Hoogland two weeks ago to hear Rev. N. E. Smith

preach. I could hear every word he spoke. His winding un was.so good, it was like manna to the Soul.”

Printed Circular Issued by George Field.

To the Inhabitants of Cedar Swamp &c:

Before I leave a neighborhood where I have met with $<. little to render it in any way agreeable, I think proper in mv own justification, and as a caution to all who may succeed me, to state to you the unhandsome manner in which I have been dealt with. I sought nothing from your generosity. I asked no favor of you—but I expected justice, but your prejudices were stronger than your justice and I can only protest against such partial & unequitable treatment and leave it upon record that others more liberal may judge between us, or that Public opinion may shame you in future from such unjust prejudices.

I was engaged to teach school at Cedar Swamp for six months with the expectation of continuing twelve, unless there were any just grounds of complaint. I brought with me a most exceptional testimonial from my last school in every way satisfactory, backed by the most flattering testimonials from the places where I had lived in England from a child, vouched by a Minister & Merchant of high standing in New York; I produced specimens of my writing; twice underwent the ordeal of examination before the inspectors, which the District has appointed and all perfectly satisfactory, and yet the Inhabitants refuse to send their children to^the school. The question is asked why? Hear the answers.

Minerva, listen,—Thomas Underhill (a trustee) writes to me thus; “I rather thee would not give quiet as long lessons untill 1 see thee.” I presume he was afraid his daughter should spell as well as himself. The lessons were accordingly abridged. The next complaints from that quarter were “Thee must not let the children use steel pens.—none of them. Thee must not let the Friends’ children use compliments to thee.” Then came Isaac Downing. “If thee lets Samuel use compliments to thee I mus. take him away.” Then Edward Frost—“I understand my children use compliments to thee, if thee will consent to teach

them to say to thee Friend Field and forbid them to say Sir & Mr. and will let them write in the afternoon as well as in the morning, and use undressed quills &c I will let them come,” in addition I received the following “Respected friend G. Field. At this time it is attended with some difficulty to pay much attention to the Learning of our son Marshall his lessons this season of the year therefore will please to omit it for the present it is my wish that the attention should be to reding writing & spelling, and tables &c they Friend E. L. Frost. ” I presume he would teach them Spelling and Grammar himself! Next Peter Luyster’s son had too long sums in addition to do, the poor Child could not reckon so high as 70 or 80 he must have shorter sums; then Andreas McQueen’s boy had too hard a lesson and Jacob Willis’ little girl must only say her lesson straight on, and her brother must not write his Grammar, not perform his task, and Wm. Willis’ children had better have no lessons just now, and they must not learn Grammer, or Geography; Joseph Hegaman’s children did not know their lessons so they w r ere kept from school. Epinetus Nostrand’s boy was to do as he liked, and if corrected was to run home. I will undertake to teach (If not interfered with) reading, writing, spelling, grammar, ciphering, geography, &c., at least as well as any District School Teacher within a hundred miles of Cedar Swamp. Here then is the ground of offense and defence. I would not be dicticted to by people utterly ignorant of the principles of Education yet having the conceit to think themselves qualified to instruct a Teacher in his duties. Not one can present anything like a reason for dissatisfaction and they know it well, but they shall be remembered in my orisons “leather forgive them; for they know not what they do. ” To those who have done their duty they have my thanks, they need no more, the consciousness of doing right is itself a blessing. I shall bear you in remembrance a thousand miles to westward.

Farewell, George Field

Sometime Teacher at Cedar Swamp, L. I. October 20th, 1838

The first school house in Cedar Swamp stood near the great oak on the farm afterwards owned by Peter Luyster and now

owned by Townsend Bailey. It was next located in the lane between Peter Luyster’s corner and Aaron Van Nostrand. This building was sold to Gideon Frost and moved to his farm and converted into a “tenant house.” It is yet standing.

The third one was built about 1850 on its present site.

It was in the first one where the meetings of the Debating Society were held and where the letter issued by Teacher George Field was inspired.

No record of the attendance has been found, but a general idea as to the names of the children may be gained in Field’s letter.
