However, this time I delved into my own genealogy rather than my wife’s. You see, I’d previously worked only on her lines because there were few others researching them and it was easy to find a starting point. On the other hand, much had been done on my lines, so it was more difficult to find a place to begin. One day, while examining my pedigree chart, I noticed my Van Wagner line had no information beyond my third great grandfather, Halmagh John Van Wagner. I was shocked! I’d understood that line had been researched back to the immigrant ancestor, but if it had, I didn’t have a record of it.

  • Remarks on the History of Hudson County in Relation to Old Bergen Church and Its Community
    Remarks on the History of Hudson County in Relation to Old Bergen Church and its Community Presented by Bob Murgittroyd (historian) during the program “Slice of History”(part of Old Bergen Church’s 350 th Anniversary celebration) on May 14, 2010 at the Brennan Courthouse, Jersey City, NJ Settlement of Bergen Tonight’s alloted time does not permit a lengthy re-telling of the history of our area but I have been asked to offer glimpses of the history of Hudson County during the 350 years of its existence. Today it is hard to imagine Hudson County as the edge of the American frontier, but from the time Henry Hudson sailed into the New York Bay in 1609 until the founding of the Town of Bergen in 1660, that is exactly what is was. During those 51 years settlers to the area experienced both the rewards and perils of living in a wildness area filled with rich natural resources and a native people whose cultural would often clash with their own. Almost immediately upon Hudson’s return to the Netherlands the prosperous merchants who had financed his voyage of discovery sought to exploit their investment in the area then named New Amsterdam. One commodity found by Hudson’s travels seemed to offer the best chance for immediate financial reward, the pelts of American beaver which were then so highly prized in Europe. For the next twelve years parties of men were sent to the area to establish small trading posts to barter with the natives for the valuable beaver skins.

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 43, 2014 23 “An Earthly Tabernacle”: English Land Use and Town Planning in Seventeenth-Century Woodbridge, New Jersey Michael J. Gall The archaeology of townscapes can provide important information about cultural development and the transfer of settlement systems. This close examination of 17th-century settlement in northeastern New Jersey focuses on Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, between 1669 and 1676. The study highlights the complexity of early colonial settlement systems in East Jersey and also examines the ways in which experimentation with Old World– and New England–style corporation settlement models; strong desires for land accumulation, power, and wealth; inheritance practices; and religion influenced English townscape development within northeastern New Jersey. The aspects outlined herein likely influenced the creation of other township-corporation settlements by New England immigrants to East New Jersey during the 17th century.

As in the past, so it will be in the future, and when the earth in time becomes a cold, dead globe like the moon, the last monuments to show that it once was the abiding place of man, will be the ruins of mas'^ive masonry which formed parts of the water supplies of its former population. Indeed, if we can judge from what scientists have discov. ered of the life history of the universe, the last ages of man on the earth will probably be marked by life and death struggles among the peoples for the control of the fast diminishing sup- plies of water.
