The fact that the widow was near Sharpsteen leads us to believe that this Jacob was possibly a brother to Sharpsteen’s wife. A Jacob Busch was married to Ann Harris, dau. of James and Ann Harris of Beekman who wrote his will 31 Aug. 1773. This was probably the first marriage for Jacob Bush. Ann Bush administratix for Jacob Bush sued Isaac and Peter Filkins (13 Oct. 1785, CP).

144 If Catherina (Snyder) Bush were born in 1712 in Colonial America as some Snyder researchers have suggested she would have been 11 years old at her marriage and 12 at her first child’s birth. This, as with her twin sister, Christina (Snyder) Diamond, seems too young to be accurate. If she were born in 1709 on the way to Colonial America, as New York Governor Hunter’s lists suggest, this would make her 14 at marriage and 15 at her first child’s birth, one year older than her twin sister Christina (Snyder). This is still young, but a more reasonable age.
THE SNYDER – DIAMOND -- BUSH CONNECTION
The christening of Henry and Catherina (Snyder) Bush’s first child Maria listed above casts some interesting light on the Snyder and Bush families. The sponsors for the christening in 1724 are listed in the original record as “Johannes Snijder and Anna Maria Keetelaar.” This was originally interpreted by Frank Doherty to be Anna Maria Vlegelaar (Flagler). In several instances during this time frame Flagler was spelled “Vlegelaar” and variants, so this seemed a logical interpretation. Zacharias Flagler had a daughter Anna Maria Flagler, born 1708 in Germany, who reportedly died on the Atlantic in 1710 along with her brother Simon and her mother Elizabetha (Ess) Flagler. It was assumed from this sponsorship that she must have survived the voyage.
It was also assumed that she must have married Johannes Snyder, born 1703 in Germany, older brother of Johann Jost, born 1706, also in Germany. Johannes had a twin brother Johann Jost that died at five weeks leaving him the surviving child. Since there is no death record for Johannes in Germany it was assumed he accompanied the family to America and later (ca. 1723/1724) married Anna Maria Flagler and sponsored his younger sister Catherina (Snyder) Busch’s first child Maria Busch, born 1724. Frank Doherty concurred with this author. In his recent volume VI of “Settlers of the Beekman Patent” he wrote an addenda to his Flagler Family:
Page 216. An involved study of the early land and tax records (71) has convinced us that Zacharias Flagler did not come to Beekman Patent but lived and died in or near Poughkeepsie. His dau. Anna Maria (#iii) born 26 Aug. 1708, did not die on the passage from England, but lived to marry Johannes Snyder, son of Johannes and Anna Elizabetha (Lahmeyer) Snyder. Anna Maria Flagler and husband Johannes Snyder were sponsors 6 May 1724 in Poughkeepsie for Maria, a child of Johann Henrich and Catharina (Snyder) Busch. (Footnote 71): Work done by J Max Anderson on the Flagler and Snyder Families of Dutchess County, 2001.
This recent addendum prompted new research on the issue of Anna Maria “Keetelaar’s” identity by other Snyder and Flagler researchers. Since Anna Maria Flagler is nowhere else mentioned in early New York records, her surviving the ocean voyage in 1710 became suspect. Research was begun on possible origins of the name “Keetelaar.” Both the Snyder and Busch sides of the family were investigated. Henry Z. Jones Jr., in his “Palatine Families of New York” stated the following regarding the ancestry of Catherina Snyder’s husband Henrich Busch:
Joh. Daniel Busch from Ebersbach (Henrich Busch’s father), his wife and 3 children along with his wife’s sister (Anna Maria Kisseler), Hans Jacob Kisseler’s daughter, left (Germany) without release in 1709. (PFNY, Jones, vol. I, 1985).
145 From this information the following was surmised: (1) This family (Kisseler) had a long- standing relationship with the Busch clan in their German hometown of Ebersbach, Germany. Jones cites several records indicating this relationship. (2) The two children, Johannes and his sister Anna Maria, were children of Hans Jacob Kesseler and his wife Magdalena, widow of the late Caspar Eichert. Johann Daniel Busch, Henrich’s father, married Anna Margaretha Eichert, daughter of this same Caspar Eichert, thus the relationship (half-sister and step-daughter).
So, the question becomes: Does “Keetelaar,” in the original record, really mean Kisseler or Vlegelaar? Original records are at times confusing. Henry Z. Jones in his “Palatine Families of New York” states that in the original hand written NYC Lutheran Churchbook Catherina Snyder’s surname is written “Schaweren.” She has thus been listed in the IGI as Catherina “Schaweren.” The list of all her children with Henrich Busch definitely indicates she is a “Schneider” and daughter of Johannes Schneider and Elizabetha Lahmeyer. Obviously early clerks were up against a difficult task of phonetically interpreting Dutch, German and English names, especially where the names themselves had so many variant spellings. With no firm indication the sponsor of Maria Busch was Anna Maria “Flagler,” the Kisseler theory presently appears to be the most plausible.
The marriage of Henrich and Catherina (Snyder) Busch’s second daughter Margaretha to Jacob Cronkhite evidences a continued correspondence of the Johannes Lahmeyer and Snyder families. Jacob Cronkhite’s parents were Jacobus Herckse Krankheyt and Helena Brandt of Tarrytown, Westchester, New York. Jacob’s father’s first wife was Abigail Canniff, younger sister of Elizabeth Canniff, Johannes Lahmeyer’s ligitimate wife. Abigail Canniff apparently died sometime before 1713, after which Jacob’s father remarried. By 1702 the Canniffs were living across the Hudson River in Haverstraw, not far from where the McGregories and Sutherlands lived, discussed earlier in connection with Johannes Lahmeyer’s illigitimate son LeMeyer Avery.
Returning to the Snyder--Diamond--Bush connection, a list of taxpayers in Dutchess County for 1723/1724 includes Philip Solomon (Flagler) at L.5; (Elizabetha Hobin/Hoofd) widow of Zacharias Flagler L.5; and Jans Snider at L.10. The next year the taxpayers for 1724/1725 include in sequence, Nead Deymand L,7; Henrich Busch L.6; and Jans Snider L.8. A year later in 1725/1726 the trio are again listed in sequence as Nead Deymant L.5; Henrich Bush L,5; and Jans Snyder L.9. The following year 1726/1727 the trio are again listed in sequence, this time as Nead Deymant L.7; Henrich Bush L.10; and Johannes Snyder L.15. The listing continues in this same sequence until 1729/1730 when Henrich Bush had apparently moved north to the Nine Partners Patent, leaving the list as Nead Deymant L.6, and Jans Snyder L.13. This continual listing of these Snyder relatives, always in the same sequence, leads to the conclusion they lived nearby one another. A discussion of an early map in the Rombout Patent states:
In 1728 a map was made of the land that borders Wappingers Creek on the south and on the east between the river and the upper falls, a strip that was allotted in 1708 to the heirs of Stephanus Van Cortlandt but a small part of which was acquired by Philip Verplanck, who had married Gertrude Van Cortlandt. The map of 1728 was drawn by Robert Crooke, Deputy Surveyor, and it was owned in 1934 by Mrs. William Gordon Verplanck of the City of New York. It is described in detail in the Year Book of the Dutchess County Historical Society for 1934, volume 19, page 23. (This source gives the following description):
146
The map shows that the land in question was laid out in 1728 in eleven lots, (one for each of Stephanus and Gertrude Van Cortlandt’s eleven children), lot number one being in the angle formed by the river and the Wappingers. Lot number five included the large falls on the creek where the bridge now is. Lot number six included a bridge which in 1728 spanned the creek some distance above the large falls and across which passed “ye main road.” Lot number six also contained “Matapan Falls.” The bridge and the road were approximately midway between the greater and lesser falls.
From this map it is to be learned that by 1728 five households of white people were settled on this land. On lot number three the map shows a building marked: Mrs. Schouten’s house; on number four appears: John Schouten’s house; on number nine two houses are shown marked: Hans Rynders and N. Dimond respectively, while on lot number ten is a house marked: Snyders. (lot 10 fell to Mary Van Rensselaer). That there were also Indians in the vicinity is to be inferred from the fact that two structures marked wigwam are shown on lot seven and one on lot ten. The white settlers on the tract were undoubtedly leaseholders for the Verplancks gave no deeds in fee simple in this neighborhood until many years later.
Mrs. Schouten was the widow of Symon Schouten. Symon was living on the back or east lot of four lots conveyed to Baltus Van Kleek in 1697, the first deed issued under the Minisinck Patent east of Poughkeepsie. The 1723/24 tax list included (Eype Jans Valentyn) “the widow of Simon Schouten deceased.” She appeared next to John Schouten and two from “Jans” Snider. From the tax lists beginning with 1724/25 Harmanus Rynders always immediately preceded the trio - Ned Diamond, Henry Bush, and Johannes Snyder. The N. Dimond mentioned on the map was obviously the Edward “Ned” Diamond who married Christina Snyder. The Snyder indicated was logically Jans (Dutch for Johannes) Snyder continually listed in the Fishkill tax lists next to Ned Diamond and Henrich Bush, his sons-in-law. Johannes Snyder was a taxpayer in the Fishkill South Ward at the beginning of tax records in 1719/20. He steadily rose to the upper third of all taxpayers in the county, reaching an assessed value of L 20 in 1732/33. He was also apparently listed in Dutchess County records in 1724 in connection with administering a fund for helping the poor. It was written in Anglicized Dutch:
Dutches County 1724 Mey 30 ontfangen Van Lowrens Van Kleek, Neeltje Van Vliet, Hendrick Fillep, Andrees Peck & Johannes Snider de som vaan hondert & veer guildens he zynde voor tax of Jan Montras zyn tax list en in vol van zyn geheele lest by myn. Leonard Lewis: Trisierier. Henry VanDerBurgh: Clerk.
THE SNYDER -- FLAGLER CONNECTION
Let us now focus on Johannes Snyder’s only surviving son, Johann Jost Snyder. In 1729, at age 26, and his twin sisters Christina and Catherina married in their early teens, Johann Jost seemed to be struggling for direction. The Kingston Church Records list the following christening: “Johann Joost Snyder and Eva Doorn, daughter Elizabetha (illigitimate) witnesses Johannes Lammertz and Elizabetha Vogel.” (Kingston Baptismal Records #3956, 7 Dec.1729). This daughter is never listed with his later family so it is assumed she remained with the mother. Nothing further has been discovered concerning either. There was a Palatine Lazarus Dorne living
147 in Rhinebeck 1723-1738 according to the North Ward tax records. There was also a Doorn family living in the Dutchess County area since the middle to late 1600’s according to early records.
Perhaps at his family’s urging Johann Jost soon married Magdalena Flagler, eldest daughter of Zacharias and Anna Elizabetha (Hobin) Flagler. Magdalena was 17/18 years old at the time. It seems revelant here to determine where her family was living when she met and married Johann Jost Snyder and if her mother were yet alive. There are differing opinions among Dutchess County historians on both questions. Most respected authorities have assumed Magdalena was living in Poughquag where her half-brother Philip Solomon Flagler and his children later lived. This is based on her younger siblings Gertrude, Margaretha and Zacharias Jr., being born in a location listed as “Pachque” in early Lutheran church records which has historically been interpreted as Poughquag, in the middle of the Beekman Patent. This is north of the current Flagler Cemetery by Greenhaven. A noted Dutchess County historian wrote of “The Beekman Patent:”
The Town of Beekman contains some of the earliest settlements of the Patent. Zacharias Flagler, the founder of the Flagler family of the oil and land fortune, seems to have settled in the Frog Hollow Road area about 1716. The birth of his daughter Gertrude was recorded in the New York Lutheran Church Book as 18 March 1716 at Pachque (which the author interprets as Poughquag in the Town of Beekman). In recent years the remains of many of his descendents have been gathered together in a very attractive cemetery on Frog Hollow Road. (Smith, History of Dutchess County, New York, under the subtitle: “The Beekman Patent”).
Another author writing under the title: “Why Poughquag?” extends the early definition of “Pachque” to include a much broader area. She states in a recent Dutchess County publication:
On May 8, 1717, a traveling Lutheran pastor baptized Catherina Lassen (Lassing) and Gertrude Flegelar, born at “Pachque,” and Jacob Feeck born at “Packquee.” June 21, 1718, he baptized Margareta Dreschler, Christina de Lange and Johannes Scherer, all children born at “Pachquee, back of the Lange Rack,” the Long Reach, the straight stretch of the Hudson River extending from the mouth of Wappinger Creek north to Crum Elbow point at Hyde Park. April 5, 1720, officers of the three wards of Dutchess County were chosen. One in the South Ward was Frans DeLange “Oversere of the Way for Pagquaick (i.e., Poughquag). So “Pachque” or “Packquee” or “Pagquaick” was an accepted place name for an area of southern Dutchess, east of the river, by the end of the second decade of the eighteenth century. (The writer here has unwittingly mixed Pachque and Packquee with Pagquaick. They are two different locations sharing a common root.)
Catherina Lassing, the seventh child of Peter II Lassing and Cornelia Rees, was born at their home in Wappinger’s Fall’s a few miles south of Poughkeepsie and christened at her grand- father Pieter I Lassing’s home in New Hamburg further south along the Hudson River. Early deeds refer to the “land called Pogkeepsing,” which extended several miles to the north and south. Wappinger’s Falls was probably close enough to be considered “Pachque” (Poughkeepsie), about 4 miles south, but not Poughquag, which was perhaps 10-15 miles inland. (Apparently some authors have confused Peter II Lassing with his son Peter III Lassing who did live in Poughquag.) The same is true for the others listed above. Frank Doherty writes of Margreta Dreshler’s family:
148 “The Dreshlers were taxed in the South Ward (1717-1719), but lived in Beekman in 1717 (because) Margaretha (was) born 26 Sept. 1717 at Pachquee (interpreted as Poughquag in the Middle Ward) and bpt. at Peter Lassen’s. Sp. Jan Delong and Mary Elizabeth Schwitsler (NYL.).”
Jan DeLong’s daughter Christina was christened the next month at Peter Lassen’s and was also listed as born at Pachquee. Doherty has the Jan DeLong family also being taxed in the South Ward in 1717/18 and beyond, but “evidently moving to Poughquag in 1718” in order to make Pachquee mean Poughquag. Both families could have been taxed in the South Ward and then moved north to Poughkeepsie in the Middle Ward, or perhaps the early boundaries were indefinite.
In reviewing the above referenced christenings in greater detail at the annual pilgrimage of the Dutchess County Historical Society on 30 Sep. 1950 Mrs. F. Philip Hoag admits: “The witnes- ses were probably neighbors, although some were known to have lived nearer Fishkill.” This should have been a clue this early “Pachque” was Poughkeepsie, not Poughquag. Poughkeepsie was originally named for a small spring that was also called by the early Dutch settlers “Rust Plaets.” A previous author cited above, writing under the title “Why Poughkeepsie,” explains:
ORIGIN OF THE NAME POUGHKEEPSIE
Rust Plaets in Dutch means Resting Place. It was presumably the resting place of indians who ran along the trail between New York and Albany, sometimes on their own business, sometimes to carry messages for white settlers. The water which bubbled out of the ground in the spring at Rust Plaets flowed north as a little brook. It now goes under Route 9, and emerges again in the southern part of Poughkeepsie Cemetary, and eventually flows into the Hudson River just north of Mine Point. (Helen Wilkinson Reynolds includes a picture of this little spring, which still exists, in her book referred to below.)
When the local Indians deeded land to Arnout Cornelise Viele on June 15, 1680, they called this little brook Pakakcincq. Another Indian deed of May 15, 1683, called it Pooghkepesingh. And it was identified as the ‘Creek called Pacaksing’ in an application for a patent on June 26, 1696. When one-fourth of Schuyler’s patent was sold March 9, 1699-1700 the little brook appeared in the deed as the stream called “Rust Plaets or, by the Indians, Apopeesing.”
Helen Wilkinson Reynolds gathered all that information, and much, much more, in “Poughkeepsie, The Origin and Meaning of the Word,” published in 1924. When she visited the spring, she wrote, cattails grew around it. That reminded her that local Indians usually built temporary shelters at the places where they visited repeatedly, and that they often used cattails in such building.
The Indian word for cattail is “uppuqui,” a word which they extended to mean lodge covering. From that Miss Reynolds deduced that the Indian name for Rust Plaets was Uppuqui Ipis Ing, meaning Reed-Covered Lodge by the Little Water Place, a name which they also used for the little stream flowing from it. Both the Dutch and the English used the Indian name, and wrote it as they heard it,
149 which accounts for the many spellings in a period which was notably casual about spelling. Over the years Poughkeepsie was finally accepted as “correct.” (“Why Poughkeepsie” Dutchess County publication, Poughkeepsie, New York).
The word “Pachque” used in the New York Lutheran Church records to describe the area of Gertrude Flagler’s birth is strikingly similar to the Indian word “Uppuqui” used to designate Poughkeepsie. The name seems to revolve around the cattails growing at the little spring. Pach- que was also used later to describe the area around Sylvan Lake where cattails grew in greater abundance. This area was called Poughquag using the same Indian word for cattails “Uppuqui,” with the extension “Auke” at Poughquag meaning a flaggy or marshy meadow. It was also known as Pagquaick, Bachquaik or Bachway. Thus, “Pachque” may well be an apt description for both the earlier settlements along the Hudson River and later around Sylvan Lake as settlements extended inland. Perhaps Gertrude Flagler’s birthplace, described as in “Packquee, back of the Lange Rack” was to distinguish it from Poughquag, the inland marshy area around Sylvan Lake.
William P, McDermott, a highly respected Dutchess County historian, has done extensive work on the location of the Zacharias Flagler family when they moved to the Beekman Patent and presents a well-documented treatise on the subject. This was published in the Dutchess County Historical Society Yearbook in 1979 and 1980 in a two part series entitled: “Widow Allen” (Zacharias Flagler’s widow and Magdalena Flaglers’s mother, Anna Elizabetha Hobin/Hoofd). He stated the following for the Flagler move in 1714-1716:
Somehow the Flaglers gained the financial resources to purchase or perhaps rent at first a small (twenty-two acre) farm in Poughkeepsie east of the Kings Road and slightly northeast of the Rust Plaets, near the Rural Cemetery. (Pachque). Several deeds and the tax lists attest to the Flagler presence on this farm for a period of seven years beginning in 1717. (Dutchess County Clerk’s Office, Deeds – Libers 1: p. 223; 2: p. 209; 3: p. 1; 6: p. 342; 13: p. 332. William P. McDermott is also editor of a book entitled: “Eighteenth Century Documents of the Nine Partners Patent, Dutchess County, New York,” published by the Dutchess County Historical Society, 1979. McDermott was also editor of the Dutchess County Historical Society Yearbook for the years 1980-1984.)
McDermott claims Poughkeepsie is where the Flagler family moved, lived and Zacharias died in 1719/1720. In order to accommodate the historic view of Zacharias living in Poughquag, Frank Doherty has him owning property in both locations at about the same time, a 14 acre plot in Poughkeepsie and a 600 acre farm in Poughquag. However, no documentation is offered to support this latter contention.. All the evidence shows Zacharias Flagler’s children, by his wife Anna Elizabetha Hobin/Hoofd were either born, lived, married, or raised families in the Poughkeepsie, Pleasant Valley area. There is no record indicating any of them lived in the locality presently designated as Poughquag. The only Flaglers who lived in Poughquag were Philip Solomon and even then not until later, when he first moved there from the South Ward.
Zacharias Flagler’s widow, Elizabetha Hobin/Hoofd, continued to live and pay taxes on the little 22 acre family farm in Poughkeepsie for several years after Zacharias’ death. Then in 1724 she was married for the third time to a John Allen whose ancestry has not been traced. On the tax roll of February, 1725 his name replaced that of Widow Flagler. McDermott continues:
150 The March 1726 tax roll reveals no positional or assessment change indicating the Allens probably remained on the property formerly owned by Zacharias Flagler. (Book of Supervisors of Dutchess County, Book B, p. 39). By this time, William (chr. 6 Feb 1726) had been born to John and “Elizabeth Hobin/Hoeven” Allen. (Kingston Records, op. cit., p. 161).
JOHN AND ELIZABETH ALLEN RELOCATION
Later in 1726 John and Elizabeth (Hobin/Hoeven) Allen moved north along the east bank of Wappinger’s Creek into what would later become Pleasant Valley. It was undeveloped land and their title would later be contested and litigated. Let us continue with McDermott:
The survey map made in 1740 of the final division of the Nine Partners Patent shows the Allen farm in the Third Division Lott 15 on the East side of Wappingers Creek. In current terms this places it in Pleasant Valley on the West side of South Road approximately one-half mile south of the bridge which crosses the Wappingers Creek. At the time the Nine Partners map was made the Allens seem to have resided there more than a decade.
The following year, 1727, was a full year and seems to have been the year when Elizabeth’s financial condition began to take on the successfull picture, which was to continue for the rest of her life. A second child John was born to “Jan Ellins and Liesabeth” in April and christened at Peter Lossing’s (Lassing’s) on 20 Aug 1727. (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 97:104). He was the first child born in their new home. The Allens had moved from Poughkeepsie. The move was reflected on the 1727 tax roll when their position on the list changed significantly. The Allen name appeared near the end of the tax roll where new taxpayers are usually listed. In the case of the Allens, the change undoubtedly indicated a change in the location of their home. There was also a dramatic increase in the assessed value of their property in the years 1727 and 1728. During the next ten years, the Allen’s assessment was to reflect additional increases. In 1728, the value of their new property was three times the value of the former property in Poughkeepsie. The increase in assessment from L.5 to L.15 placed the Allens in the upper third of all taxpayers in the Middle Ward. (Book of Supv. p. 97).
If Elizabeth and John Allen already owned 600 acres in Poughquag, why did they buy and build on undeveloped land several miles north of their original 22 acres in Poughkeepsie? Why didn’t they simply move to their larger Poughquag property? Let us continue with McDermott:
The new decade opened with promise of a brighter future for Elizabeth. James Allen, born March 11, 1730 to “Jan Ellins and Liesabeth,” was sponsored by Hannes Schneider and his wife Liesabeth (Lah)Meyer,” (Baptisms in the Lutheran Church, p. 225). The Schneiders were the in-laws of Elizabeth’s oldest child Magdalena who married Johann Jost Snider (Schneider) sometime in 1729 or 1730. She bore her first child, Hannes, Elizabeth’s first grandchild, in May 1731. (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol 97, p. 227). Two years later
151 Elizabeth (Hobin/Hoofd) sponsored Magdalena’s second child, Simon (Snyder), b. 16 Aug 1733 in Rombout Prct, chr. 9 Sep 1733. (NYG&B Record, vol. 98, p.34).
This connection of the Snyders and Flaglers sponsoring each other’s children in 1730 and 1731 becomes important in establishing Johann Jost Snyder and Anna Magdalena Elizabeth Flagler’s marriage date and will be analyzed below, but first let us conclude with McDermott’s history of Magdalena Flagler’s mother – Anna Elizabetha (Hobin/Hoofd) Schultz, Flagler, Allen:
The year following the birth of John, her second child, the Allens completed an important business transaction which doubled the assessed value of their property. This change was reflected on the March 28, 1731 tax roll when their assessment increased from 16 pounds to 30 pounds. (Book of Supervisors of Dutchess County, Book C, p. 45). Formerly, their assessed value placed them in the upper third of all the taxpayers in the Middle Ward. However, with the change in 1731 their assessed value placed them in the upper ten percent of this group. Obviously John and Elizabeth had found a formula for substantial economic success. Which of the Allens forged this economic growth cannot be determined from the records available. However, records after John’s death (in 1734) indicate Elizabeth was an astute businesswoman.
Flowing water seems to have attracted John and Elizabeth when they moved to Pleasant Valley. Their property was on Wappinger’s Creek, the principal water network in Dutchess County. Speculation suggests they acquired the site in Pleasant Valley to build a mill. Elizabeth’s interest in acquiring land along the Wappingers Creek continued after John’s death. Between 1738 and 1749 Widow Allen purchased 1500 acres along the Wappingers. In fact, the only land purchases recorded for Elizabeth were five parcels along the Wappingers, ranging in size from 10 to 1149 acres. (Nine Partners Patent, op. cit., 123, 134, 156, 217; Account Book of a Country Store Keeper, op. cit., 66, 67). Her purchases totaled two miles of land along the eastern banks of this important creek in lots 6 and 7 of the second division (1734) of the Nine Partners Patent.

Elizabeth’s husband John Allen died in 1734, as we have noted above, after about 10 years of marriage and Elizabeth was a widow for the third time. McDermott then rehearsed many land difficulties with the contested lower – western corner of the Great Nine Partners Patent where she and John Allen had lived. He continued to trace her until June 1750. Her last days were referred to in connection with the dating of an early map of Dutchess County called the Wodell map:
In this connection it should be noted that the map records “Wid. Allen” as a resident on great lot number 7. This was Elizabeth, widow of John Allen, who lived near the site of the present village of Pleasant Valley. She was a taxpayer for some years up to 1748. The tax-lists for 1749-1752 are lost. In February 1753 her name is not on the list and it is believed that she died between 1748 and 1753. The infer- ence is allowable that the Wodell map was drawn between May 1750, and Febru- ary 1753. (Early Maps of Dutchess County, NY, Adrience Library, Poughkeepsie).
The above listed locations of the Flagler family all seem to accord with what one would suspect. In 1718, when they started paying taxes, they were relatively close neighbors to the
161 Snyder family who lived south of Poughkeepsie in Fishkill. Twelve years later in 1730 when Johann Jost Snyder and Magdalena Flagler married they were again relatively close neighbors. His family had moved from Fishkill in the South Ward, to the east side of the Wappinger’s Creek, virtually at the northwest boundary of the Beekman Patent and her family had moved from Poughkeepsie across the boundary north a few miles into the Great Nine Partners Patent.
With this aside into the history of Zacharias Flagler’s wife, Elizabeth Hobin/Hoofd, let us return to events following his death. Prior to this recently discovered research on Magdalena’s mother, it was assumed Elizabeth died in 1728 in Poughquag, eight years after Zacharias, as Flagler family researcher Robert Pierce had earlier indicated. If his Flagler research were correct, the question arises as to who raised the children after their parent’s early deaths: (Zacharias 44 and Anna Elizabetha 40). The logical probability would have been Zacharias’ son Philip Solomon.
PHILIP SOLOMON FLAGLER IN AMERICA
The first thirteen years in America (1710-1723) reveal no mention of Philip Solomon or his whereabouts. Most writers on the Flagler family assume Philip Solomon came to America with his father and was the only child to survive the journey. Robert Pierce vascillated in his opinion as to whether Philip Solomon accompanied his parents to America in 1710 or came at a later time. William P. McDermott followed Robert Pierce in his attempt to account for Philip Solomon’s location at the time of his father’s death in 1720 and posed the following searching questions:
Where was Elizabeth’s stepson Philip Solomon Flagler? When his father died, Philip was 18 years old. Was he helping on the farm before his father died? Was he away? Did he return home when his stepmother needed help? The tax rolls indicate even if he were on the farm, he didn’t stay long. He is listed on the January 1724 tax roll as living in the North Ward. This suggests he left Elizabetha’s home sometime in 1723 or earlier, assuming he was there at all. Two years later Philip Solomon (Flagler) moved to the (Dutchess County) South Ward.
The 1724 tax roll is the first extant record of Philip Solomon in the New World. It indicates he started in the North Ward in Rhinebeck by 1723. That is where his wife’s family the Dopff’s were located. He married about 1722 Anna Margaret (Dopp) Demuth, born about 1692, widow of Johann George Demuth of Rhinebeck. She came with four Demuth stepchildren born in Rhinebeck: Elizabetha, chr. 3 Jul 1715, md. abt. 1737 Johannes Reisdorf; Christina, b. abt. 1716, md. 12 Apr 1735 Johannes Busch, b. 18 May 1705 (younger brother of Henrich Busch who md. Catharina Snyder, Johann Jost’s younger sister); Maria, b. abt. 1718, md. 12 Nov 1735 Jost Busch, b. abt. 1709 (younger brother of Henrich Busch) and Johann Peter, chr. 25 March 1720.
Two years later in 1726 he moved from Rhinebeck to the South Ward. There he apparently farmed as did most of the early Palatines and was selected in the year 1728 as “overseer of the common ways to the South Ward.” If Philip Solomon and his father Zacharias owned a 600 acre farm in Poughquag in 1717 as alleged, why didn’t Philip Solomon remain on the farm after his father’s death in 1720? Why did he live in the North Ward near Rhinebeck from 1723 to 1726 and then move to the South Ward in 1726? It was in the South Ward that Anna Margaretha (Dopp, Demuth) gave birth to seven more children over the next ten years, giving her eleven in all:

7. HELENA FLAGLER, chr. 2 Dec 1733, sp. David Bryl and Katrinen Pyck or Beck. (Fishkill Ref. Churchbook). Prob. named for her Aunt Helena/Magdalena Flagler. Apparently the Philip Solomon Flagler families were divided in their sympathies during and after the Revolutionary War as were other early American families
166 According to tax records, two or three years after their last child was born and after two of the four step-children were married, Philip Solomon and Margaret moved north and east into the Beekman Middle Ward. The area was called Poughquag after the Indian name “Uppuqui” or “Pachque” plus “Auke” for the cattails growing about the neighboring Lake Sylvan as discussed earlier in connection with Poughkeepsie. Here the Flaglers built a house, farmed and lived for the rest of their lives. Robert Pierce described the property they had leased and/or purchased as:
In size about 600 acres the property was well selected on fertile low-rolling hills with an unbroken view in all directions. A dwelling of sorts was erected in a vale or hollow protected from the prevailing winter storms to the east by the Fish- kill Mountain Range and to the north by an elevation later used as a burial ground. On the property was a gushing mountain stream which debouched into a pond in front of the main entrance to the house. The hamlet of Green Haven lies two miles to the west. (Finally, the 600-acre Philip Solomon Flagler farm debuts in 1736, about twenty years after it had been erroneously ascribed to Zacharias Flagler).
She died 6 July 1764, at age 72, and he died 14 April 1766, at age 65, both in Poughquag. They were apparently both buried in a family burial ground on their farm. They were later re- interred in the cemetery in Poughquag and still later in 1976 re-interred in the Flagler Cemetery on Frog Hollow Road. “Old Gravestones of Dutchess County” edited by Dr. Poucher and Helen Wilkinson Reynolds gives the following information on the Flagler family burial ground as:
North of Green Haven on the original Flagler Family farm in an open field on the south side of the blind road that leads east from the main highway. Zachariah Vlegelar of Wertheim, Franconia, came to the valley of the Hudson in 1709. He died in 1720 in Dutchess County leaving three sons who are the ancestors of all the Fleglers – Flaglers in the United States. His son Philip Solomon Flagler built in 1736 a house, the shell of which is still standing east of the burial ground in the hollow of the hill. The house and farm passed to Philip Flagler (1731–1804), then to Solomon Flagler (1773–1850), after whose death the farm was sold. Philip S. Flagler (1701–1766) and his wife were first buried in this ground. In recent years their bodies were removed to the modern cemetery in Poughquag.” (The old house was still standing untouched in the early 1900’s).
THE NEW FLAGLER CEMETERY IN POUGHQUAG
A history of the Flagler Family cited earlier states: “They were both buried in the family ground now moved to Greenhaven, Dutchess County. The grave of Zacharias cannot be located. It was not in the original family burial ground in Beekman. Mrs. Matthews had all of this dug up and moved to Greenhaven. The stones for Anna Margaret and Philip (Solomon) are standing. There are seventy-one graves in the cemetery.” This history and the article of Dr. Poucher and Ms. Helen Wilkinson Reynolds, cited above, evidence the confusion of location of Zacharias Flagler with that of his son Philip Solomon. Robert Pierce, who was engaged by Jean Flagler Matthews for several years in the early-mid 1970’s to research the Flagler family history and related families, also collaborated with Mrs. Matthews in relocating early Flagler remains to the new cemetery in
167 Greenhaven in 1976. He wrote an article that appeared in the Dutchess County Historical Society Yearbook in 1976 for the dedication as follows: (See Dutchess County, NY book section of FHL).
The late Jean Flagler Matthews was the youngest daughter of Harry Harkness Flagler, her sisters being Elizabeth Flagler Harris of Philadelphia and Mary Flagler Cary of Millbrook. Harry Harkness Flagler was the only son of Henry Morrison Flagler, Standard Oil tycoon and Florida East Coast Developer. No father and son were more dissimilar in dispositions and tastes: Henry the driving industrialist and Harry the placid votary of the performing arts. Music and local history were Harry’s special diversions. He was a patron of the Metropolitan Opera Association and the New York Philharmonic Society, of which he was at one time president. He belonged to several historical groups, the Dutchess County Historical Society being one. He was a friend of Miss Helen Wilkinson Reynolds and of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He also cultivated a liking for genealogy and family history. Of the three daughters, only Mrs. Matthews showed a real fondness for exploring the origin and annals of the Flagler family.
A formal dedication of the cemetery, which is on Frog Hollow Road, in the Poughquag area of the original Middle Ward of the Beekman Patent took place on 9 October 1976. A marble plaque mounted on the stone wall, to the right of the entry gate, which is still very legible, reads:
To the glory of God and in thankful remembrance of the many members of the Flagler Family whose earthly remains are gathered here, this cemetary is set apart in honor of Zachariah Flagler, their progenitor, who came to this country from the Palatinate, Germany, in 1701 and settled in Dutchess County. It has been the privilege of one of his direct descendants, Jean Flagler Matthews to make possible this dedication. A. D. 1976. (During a recent visit to the Flagler Cemetery this marble plaque is still intact, although the cemetery is mostly unkept.)
And so here etched in stone is evidenced the confusion of Philip Solomon Flagler’s birth- date in 1701 for the year 1710 when his father Zacharias Flagler arrived in this country. The very location of this new cemetery in Poughquag perpetuates this confusion. Jean Flagler Matthews descends through Zacharias Flagler Jr., from Pleasant Valley, not Philip Solomon Flagler from Poughquag, in whose neighborhood the new cemetery is located. When one goes inside the cemetery he beholds further confusion of names and dates. Thirteen original interment locations are listed with who came from each. There are none from Poughkeepsie and Pleasant Valley where Zacharias Flagler and Elizabeth Hobin/Hoofd lived, died and were likely buried. Small wonder Mr. Pierce and Mrs. Matthews were unable to locate the grave of Zacharias Flagler. “It was not in the original family burial ground in Beekman.” as they had supposed. They were looking in the wrong place all along and all because of the meaning of an innocuous little word “Pachque” which has been misinterpreted by Dutchess County historians as noted above.
There is also a confusion of Philip Solomon’s wife with that of his son Zacharias’ wife. Philip Solomon is buried alongside an “Anna Margaret Winegar (1692-1764.)” As we have seen Philip Solomon Flagler married Anna Margaretha (Dopp) Demuth. Philip Solomon’s son Zacharias married Catherine Winegar. In spite of these and some other inaccuracies, this cemetery is very impressive and a marvelous work has been done to memorialize the Flagler family and
168
some of their descendants. It reminds this author of the churchyard of the “Jacob’s Kirche” in Urphar, Wertheim, Germany. This is Zacharias Flagler’s ancestral home where there are presently about a dozen headstones marking graves of twentieth century Flegelers that presently rest above the remains of countless earlier unmarked Flegelers. This author photographed each of the graves. (Germans recycle their grave sites every one hundred years or so and bury new family members over older ones.) Thus, in Germany, church cemeterys are not a source for extended family history. One must resort to parish or civil records for early and reliable ancestral information.
Let us now return to the question of Johann Jost Snyder and Magdalena Flagler’s marriage date. The sponsoring connection between the Snyders and the Flaglers at James Allen’s christen- ing on 11 March 1730, reviewed earlier, raises some interesting questions. Johann Jost Snyder and Magdalena Flagler must have married before that date for the two families to be connected for this christening of Magdalena’s step-brother. Johann Jost and Eva Doorn had their illigitimate daughter Elizabeth born 7 Dec 1729. Would Johann Jost have married someone else before his child was born? If we can safely assume not, this would fix Johann Jost Snyder and Anna Magdalena Elizabeth Flagler’s marriage date sometime between 7 Dec 1729 and 11 Mar 1730.
THE SNYDER RELOCATION IN DUTCHESS COUNTY
It is not known if Johann Jost and Magdalena lived with his parents for a while or moved to themselves nearby. Perhaps he took over operation of part of the family farm. His father and mother had earlier moved the family to the Middle Ward. Tax records show they were there “1726-1729 and beyond.” As was noted earlier in this history it would appear they moved north along Wappinger’s Creek at the intersection of the Rombout, Beekman and Great Nine Partners’ Patents, but evidently on the Beekman side. Johannes Snyder’s son-in-law Edward Diamond gave a deposition on 29 March 1738 concerning the patent line for the Nine Partner’s Patent that was being finalized at that time. (See: “Eighteenth Century Documents of the Nine Partner’s Patent” by McDermott and Buck.) This testimony furnishes us with his father-in-law’s location.
Edward Dymon of sd. County and decleared on Ooth that about fiefftien year ago caim along a meadow leying about Southwest of a Settlement leat in the Accopeteiaion of Johannes Snyder and About (one-half mile) East from the Possession of Ausweeris Van Kleek And then and thar did Sie a White Ook Tree and the same Marcked with the Letter HT. And hee Decleared forther that sometime before hee was informed by Coll. Leonard Lewis that by said Madow whas the South-most Corner of the Nine Partteners Petten and fourther hee Saides not making before me. (This white oak tree was a famous landmark and was shown on several early maps of Dutchess County. This deposition was probably initiated by the Elizabeth (Hobin) Shultz, Flagler, Allen land controversy discussed earlier in connection with events after John Allen’s death.)
A second reference is the birthplace of Johann Jost’s first son Johannes, named after his grandfather Johannes and apparently born in the proximate neighborhood of his grandparent’s home. It is given as Minissing (the anglicised version of Mennisinck, an Indian word for the locality). A History of Dutchess County explains:
169 Matapan and Mennisinck are the local names for a waterfall in Wappinger’s Kill (Creek) and for the ridge (to the east) that borders the stream near Pleasant Valley. Minisinck: from Min-asin-ink, or “the place where the stones are gathered.” Applied to the highland northeast of Arlington, on the Pleasant Valley Road. The farm-walls in that locality are built of field stones. The first deed issued under the Minisinck Patent was made in 1697 to “Balthazar Van Cleake (father of Ausweeris Van Kleek mentioned above).
McDermott, cited extensively above, claims that both of Zacharias and Elizabeth (Hobin- Hoofd) Flagler’s sons “settled in Crum Elbow Precinct within five miles of her home in Pleasant Valley.” An example of this is given by Flagler researcher Robert Pierce in writing of Zacharias Flagler Jr’s grandson Isaac Flagler, son of Solomon Flagler:
Isaac Flagler was born 22 April 1789 on his father’s farm in Clinton Precinct, Dutchess County, New York. The approximate site of (his father) Solomon Flagler’s homestead, situated about two miles east of Pleasant Valley was pointed out to the writer as being on lot number six of the Great Nine Partners, at the junction of four roads: Hurley, Creek, Scout and Pine Hill. On it years ago stood a house belonging to Zacharias Flagler Jr., Solomon’s father, and was obtained by Solomon either thru sale or inheritance.
A further example of the family’s location in Pleasant Valley involves Zacharias Flagler Jr’s, older brother Simon. He married Jannetje Viele in January 1739. McDermott reports: “They settled on a farm Elizabeth sold him that year (Dutchess County Clerk’s Office, Deeds – Liber 3: 320, September 18, 1739). Frank J. Doherty has recently expanded on William McDermott’s report: “On 18 Sep 1739 he purchased two parcels from his mother Elizabeth Allen of Poughkeepsie. The land was 250 acres in lot 6 of Crum Elbow and 50 Acres in lot 7 and Flagler paid L. 90. On 15 Jun 1741 he bought for L.10, land from Augustin Creed. The land was in lot 12 and bounded his previous purchase on the west and the lot 13 on the north. (Deeds 3:320, 322).” .
After their marriage, probably in 1730, Johann Jost and Magdalena (Flagler) Snyder began raising their family. Their children were also born within five miles of her mother’s home:
1. JOHANNES “JOHN” SNYDER, b. 16 May 1731 at Minnissing and chr. 20 Jun 1731 at Pieter Lossing’s in the Highland – sp. Hannes Snyder and wife Liesabeth – child’s grandparents. (New York City Lutheran Churchbook). Johannes Snyder was the first grandson of Johannes Schneider, chr. 12 Jan 1681 and Anna Elizabetha Lahmeyer, chr. 10 Sep 1682 of Huttengesass, Germany, This follows the patronymical naming system where the grandparents on both sides of the family sponsor, at the child’s christening, their first grandchildren, frequently followed by the child’s aunts and uncles and finally after the names of the parents.
2. SIMON SNYDER, b. 16 Aug 1733 and christened at Pieter Lossing’s in the High- land – sp. Joh. Ellen (Allen) and wife Elizabeth (Hobin/Hoofd, Schultz, Flagler, Allen). He was probably named for Elizabeth (Ess) Flagler’s son Simon who died on the Atlantic coming to America. in 1710. (New York City Lutheran Churchbook.)
170 3. BALTHAZAR “BALTUS” SNYDER, b. 15 Jul 1735 and christened at Pieter Los- sing’s in the Highland – sp. Nelt Dijamond and wife Christina. He was probably named for his uncle Balthazar Schneider who died an infant in Germany. (NYL).
At this early date services were held in homes before Churches were built. Pieter Lassing’s rock home was well established in the Highland area, earlier described as Hoogelant (Dutch for “Highland”) and later noted as New Hamburg. Christenings and other church ordinances were then recorded in the Trinity Lutheran Church record in New York City. About 1736/1737 there was a new Church built in Poughkeepsie. It was a Dutch Reformed Church and convenient to Johann Jost Snyder’s location. The remainder of their children were christened there, except for Jacob.
4. ZACHARIAH SNYDER, chr. 26 May 1739 – sp. Zacharias Vlegelaar and Gertjen (Gertrude) Vlegelaar, child’s uncle and aunt. (Poughkeepsie Dutch Ref. Ch. book).
5. PHILIP SNYDER, chr. 26 May 1741 – sp. (Philip) Zolomon Fleglear and Margrite Dopp, child’s uncle and aunt. (Poughkeepsie Dutch Reformed Ch. book).
6. MARCUS “MARK” SNYDER, chr. 1 April 1743 – sp. Marcus Dimondt and Mar- garetha Busch, child’s first cousins. (Poughkeepsie Dutch Reformed Churchbook).
7. JACOB SNYDER, chr. 5 Feb 1745 at “Klove at Bachway” – sp. Jacob Kranckheid and Margaretha Busch, child’s first cousin. (New York City Lutheran Church- book.) Although christened in Beekman in the Clove above Poughquag, most Snyder researchers have mistakenly assumed Jacob was also born there. Jacob was apparently christened in the Clove because his Aunt Catharina (Snyder) Bush had earlier moved there and his cousin, Margaretha Bush, md. to Jacob Cronkhite /Kranckheid also lived there from 1745-1747 (area north of Poughquag Village).
8. ELIZABETH SNYDER, born about 1747 in the Rombout Patent, Dutchess Co., New York. Probably christened in the Dutch Reformed Church in Poughkeepsie. (Poughkeepsie DRC christening records from 1745–1764 are missing). Probably sponsored by her grandmother, Elizabeth Lahmeyer or Elizabeth (Hobin) Flagler.
9. ISAAC SNYDER, probably born in the Rombout Patent, Dutchess County, New York. He was apparently also christened in Poughkeepsie about 1751. His birth- year is determined by his age at enlistment as a Patriot in the Revolutionary War.
Magdalena probably died in mid to late 1757. On 19 June 1757 her son Baltus had a son John christened with sponsors John Jost and Magdalena (Flagler) Snyder (Hopewell Dutch Ref. Church). Five years later on 18 May 1762 Baltus had a daughter Magdalena christened with the sponsors listed as Jacob and Elizabeth Snyder, the child’s uncle and aunt. It would appear the child was named in honor of Baltus’ deceased mother Magdalena, so Baltus’ younger brother Jacob Snyder and sister Elizabeth Snyder stood in for their deceased mother as proxies or christening sponsors. Apparently not long after Magdalena’s death Johann Jost married an Elizabeth. Recent research indicates she was probably Elizabeth DeGraff, dau. of Abraham DeGraff and Elizabeth Parmentier, Johann Jost’s neighbors across the old “Oswego Road” in lot 9. Johann Jost Snyder and his wife Magdalena Flagler lived across the old “Oswego Road” in lot 10.
171 According to Johann Jost’s will written in 1785 he had three children born to his second wife Elizabeth ?DeGraff. Some have mistakenly assumed them to be additional children of Baltus, based on a vague and somewhat faulty abstract, but the actual will distinctly names the three children as Johann Jost and Elizabeth (?DeGraff) Snyder’s sons as discussed below:
1. ABRAHAM SNYDER, b. abt. 1758 in Dutchess County, New York, prob sponsored by his ?grandfather Abraham DeGraff. He poss. married Mary Hoogeort abt. 1780. They poss. had a child Catherine, chr. 13 Nov 1785 in Fishkill. Abraham was a Patriot and remained in New York all his life. He was not in the 1790 census
2. GEORGE SNYDER, b. abt. 1760 in Dutchess, New York, md. 12 May 1780, his ?2nd cousin Hannah Crandall, both of Poughkeepsie Precinct (prob. dau. of neighbor John Crandall and Neeltje Parmentier). Married after the third publi- cation (NHRCh). The next record is a mortgage dated 17 Mar 1788. “Mortgagor: George Snyder of Rombout. Mortgagee: John Everson of Rombout. Loan: 300 pounds. Security: Parcel of 100 acres on the road ‘coming from Widow Flaygelar’s (prob. Hester Bockhold, Simon’s widow);’ adjoining land of ‘Cobes Middagh’ and adjoining ‘John Crandle’s corner, now Abraham Crandle’s orchard’ Witness: Higgens Concklin.” Johann Jost’s will was dated 7 March 1788.
Discharge: “I George Snyder by virtue of a power from my father John Snyder bearing date of first day of July last past.” Signed: George Snyder. Dated: 26 July 1788.” (Liber 4, Fol. 366. Dutchess County Wills).
About six months later on 4 Nov 1788 George Snyder sold the property pledged as security: “George Snyder of Fishkill and Hannah (Crandall) his wife sold to Jacobus Middagh of Fishkill for the consideration of 250 pounds, a parcel of 100 acres on the road between Widow Bogart and John Crandall (Hannah’s father?). Witnesses: Mathias Cooke and William Cooke. George and Hannah (Crandall) Snyder had daughters Sarah, b. 19 Apr 1781 and Elizabeth, b. 17 Apr 1783, both chr. 3 Jun 1783 (PRCh). The 1790 census lists George with: “2 males over 16, 2 males under 16, 3 females.” Two of the males in his family were very likely Peter and Zachariah Snyder. There was a will proved 26 Aug 1809 for a George Snyder of North East. His wife was listed as Catherine, so perhaps Hannah Crandall died and he remarried. (DCW C:380). Hannah’s half-brother Samuel lived in North East as did her extended cousins. Hannah’s father ?John Crandall was born in Little Compton, Newport, Rhode Island. He married twice: (1) 10 May 1737, Millicent Chase, dau. of Abraham Chase and Elizabeth Henry of Newport. Millicent prob. died in Newport sometime after 1745. They had children:
1. Constant Crandall, probably a male, chr. 6 Aug 1738 in Newport, Rhode Island. No further record of a marriage or children. He perhaps died young.
2. Esther Crandall, a twin, also chr. 6 Aug 1738, poss. md. John Sutherland, b. 3 Jul 1735 in Nine Partners, son of William Sutherland and Hannah Avery listed above in connection with Johannes Lahmeyer’s illigitimate son, LeMeyer Avery.

They both enlisted in the Dutchess County Second Regiment in 1776 and remained in Dutchess County throughout their lifetimes. He was one
173 of 34 “overseers of the Highways” in October 1797. The 1790 Census lists Moses as from Beekman Town with: 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, 3 females.

LOCATION OF THE JOHANN JOST SNYDER FARM
After the Snyder family had leased farms from early patent holders for over thirty years Johann Jost finally purchased a sizeable farm in Dutchess County. Other German Palatines had begun to purchase property from the original large land patent holders and their heirs who were beginning to divide up the original patents. Dutchess County Deeds report the following:
Liber II, page 112 – June 8, 1742. (Recorded 12 Feb 1747). Grantor: Gidion Ver Viele, yeoman of Dutchess County. Grantee: Johannes Jost Snyder, yeoman of Dutchess County. Consider’n: 100 pounds and one young horse. Quit- Rent: Grantee to pay his Majesty his acreage proportion of the quit-rent. Land: Parcel of 204 acres of woodland in lot no. 10, adjoining the farm now in the occupation of William Smith. Witnesses: Daniel Ver Vile, Henry Van der Burgh. (Deeds, Dutchess County, New York, Adrience Library, Poughkeepsie, New York.)
Liber II, page 114 – June 20, 1747. (Recorded 15 Feb 1748). Grantor: Gideon Ver Viele, yeoman of Dutchess County. Grantee: Johannis Jost Snyder, yeoman of Dutchess County. Consider’n 88 pounds. Quit-Rent: Grantee to pay his acreage proportion of the quit-rent. Land: Parcel of 148 ½ acres of woodland in lot no. 10. Witnesses: Gideon DuBois, Peter DuBois. (Deeds, Dutchess County, New York, Adrience Library, Poughkeepsie, New York.)
Since Jacob Snyder was mistakenly listed in family records as being born in Beekman in the “Clove at Bachway,” it was originally assumed the property his father bought in 1742 and 1747 was lot no. 10 in the Beekman Patent. The far- western end of lot no. 10 would be on the east side of the Clove valley in Beekman. This seemed to coincide with the prevailing assumption the Zacharias Flagler family settled in Poughquag, making them relatively close neighbors. Further research, however, has also proved this assumption to be erroneous. Jacob Snyder was merely christened in the Clove at the home of his aunt Catherina (Snyder) Bush as noted above.
Johann Jost’s first property transaction lists the location “adjoining the farm now in the occupation of William Smith.” Further examination shows William Smith bought his property on February 21, 1741 also from Gideon Ver Veale. It is listed as a “parcel of 20 acres, part of the tract described in Liber II at page 169.” In turning to that tract it states: “Parcel of 3,115 acres on the east side of Hudson’s River, on the north side of the Highlands, adjoining the Fishkill.” The title then traces it from “the patent to Francis Rombout, Jacobus Kip and Stephen Van Cortlandt,” through Cortlandt’s daughter Mary (married to Stephen Van Rensselaer) who sold lot no. 10 con- sisting of 3,115 acres on May 20, 1740 to Gideon Ver Veale. Ver Veale then began sub-dividing and selling off farms; first to William Smith as noted above in June, 1741 and then to Johann Jost Snyder in June, 1742 and later in June, 1747. It is thus obvious the property Johann Jost Snyder bought in 1742 and 1747 from Gideon Ver Veale was lot no. 10 in the Rombout Patent, not lot no. 10 in the Beekman patent at “Clove, Bachway” as earlier assumed. Dorcas Fredericks, wife of
179 Johann Jost’s ?cousin LeMeyer Avery, had two brothers who also bought property in lot no. 10.
Following his monumental research into the Snyder and Flagler families in 1935 – 1936 George Olin Zabriskie received a letter from a Dutchess County researcher Clifford M. Buck. (Clifford was a brother of John Lossing Buck, earlier owner of Frank J. Doherty’s present home, and whose research is revolutionizing Dutchess Co. history). Buck wrote 6 March 1939 as follows:
“I think I have at last located the farm of Johannis Jost Snyder. It is about halfway between Manchester Bridge and Freedom Plains and now owned by Michael Kawazinki. I am enclosing sketches of that farm and several adjoining farms. It is joined on the east by Sedgwick and on the west by Vail. The Carman and Badgley farms join it on the north. These last two farms have new owners.
You will note that the map of Mort 5: 396 is similar to part of the Sedgwick farm and would indicate that the house of Snider stood on part of the present farm of Sedgwick. You will also note the similarity between the smaller piece of Mort 5: 162 to the southwest part of the Sedgwick farm.
This location is farther from the Wappingers Creek than the 1728 map indicates. Of course it is possible that he lived near the (Wappinger’s) creek until his purchase in 1742. (George Olin Zabriskie’s Snyder file, in posession of author).
Clifford M. Buck included a map showing the Kawazinki and Sedgwick farm locations on Sedgwick Road, just off present route 55, which is part of the old Oswego Road. He also included sketches and a provenance of Kawazinki and Sedgwick properties back to the original Rombout lot no.10 in 1740. They are too voluminous and detailed to include here, but are available.
Since Johann Jost Snyder was not married until 1730 he apparently still lived at home with his parents. He is not included on the tax lists in Rombout until 1731. His parents, Johannes and Elizabetha (Lahmeyer) Snyder disappear off the tax lists in Beekman in 1747. (They were now aging, 66 and 65 resp., and probably moved in with Johann Jost and his family). The Jans or Johannes Snyder who is shown on the 1728 map referred to earlier is shown living closer to Wappinger’s Creek as mentioned above. This Johannes was evidently Johann Jost’s father, Johannes Schneider. He is shown on the Fishkill tax lists starting in 1719 and later by his sons-in- law Edward Diamond and Henry Bush as indicated earlier in this history. It would seem the entire Snyder family at one time or another lived close by in Rombout lot no. 10. In fact it is interesting to note that Johann Jost’s brother-in-law Zacharias Flagler, Jr., also bought a farm in the same vicinity in Rombout lot no. 10.
On March 29, 1776 Zacharias Flagler, Jr., of Charlotte Precinc, Dutchess Co., New Yorkt purchased of Ausweris Van Kleek of Rombout Precinct, Dutchess Co., New York a parcel of 200 acres on the east side of Wappinger’s Creek, in lot number 10 (excepting out 52 acres, which John LeRoy conveyed to Abraham DeGraff and Art Middagh). Title conveyed by Stephen Van Rensselaer to Gideon Ver Veale May 20, 1740, and by John LeRoy and Elizabeth, his wife, July 11, 1761 to Jurian Terwilliger; and by Jurrian Terwilliger and Mary Terwilliger, his wife July 21, 1774 to Ausweris Van Kleek.
180
On September 18, 1787 Myndert Van Kleeck of Poughkeepsie purchased of Abraham Crandall of Rumbout “a parcel of 100 acres; adjoining lands of Aert Middagh, Johannis Yost Snyder and Jurien Terwilliger.” On January 3, 1788 Michael Vincent bought property from John Ver Veale described as: “On the road that leads to Oswego and adjoining lands of John Ver Valin, Johannis Jost Snyder, Alias Van Benshoten, George and James Medock, and Daniel Ver Valin.”
One last deed to be observed dated December 2, 1789 refers to “a parcel of 252 acres; adjoining lands of John Ruger, Orie Van Vliet, John Ostrom, Jacob Westervelt and John Jost Snyder. Title bequeathed by will by Gideon Ver Valin to his daughter, Mary and her children.” This property appears to be in Gideon Ver Vealen’s original 3,115 - acre lot 10, yet Johann Jost died in 1788, the year before this transaction. It could, however, still be referring to Johann Jost.
This last property description may also have been in the vicinity of a piece of property commonly known as “Hans Snider’s Magers Land.” It is referred to in a mortgage between members of the Van Kleeck family where part of the security was: “20 acres known by the name of Hans Sniders Magees Landtie.” This probably referred to land by the river of Magiel Parmentier. One source wrote under the title: Old Magiel’s Landing. “In 1699 Mighel Parmentier bought a farm with a frontage on the Hudson extending from the present township line southward to the stream which crosses the land of Mrs. John F. Winslow.” Magiel Parmentier was taxed in Fishkill 1717/18 – 1738/39, widow to 1740/41. It would seem Johannes Snyder had then purchased this property, hence the name “commonly known as Hans Snider’s Magees Landtie.”
With his property purchases in 1742 and 1747 Johann Jost Snyder became a substantial farmer which had been the goal and dream of all the Palatines who came to America in 1710 and subsequently. After raising his children he saw many of his family moving to upper New York and eventually Canada after the Revolutionary War. We can only speculate on their reasons to shun the revolutionay forces and remain loyal to the Crown. Perhaps Queen Anne’s befriending them and sending them to America played a roll in their later sympathies. Perhaps the memory of constant warfare in Germany helped establish their distate for war. Perhaps the promise of free land in Canada to Loyalists was an overriding factor. At any rate, when most of his family moved northward in the 1770-1780’s Johann Jost and Elizabetha must have helped them to get re- established. He took out a mortgage on his farm in 1783 at the end of Revolutionary War:
Mortgages, 12 April. 1783. Mortgagee, Johannis Joost Snyder of Rombout, loan of 399 Pounds 20 Shillings, security 145 ½ acres and 8 rods (on the edge of the road to Oswego) in the Rombout Precinct, Dutchess County, N.Y. Mortgagor, John Ver Vealen. (Dutchess County Mortgages, 1783, Liber 4, Fol. 80).
This loan may have helped Jacob buy or lease property in Arlington, Vermont/Cambridge, New York and his brother Philip in Hillsdale, New York. It may also have provided much needed aid and support for their Loyalist brothers in 1783. Johann Jost remained on his farm in Rombout, Dutchess County, New York. He was now growing old. In 1783 he was included on Pough- keepsie Doctor Thorne’s patient list as “old Mr. Youst Snyder of Rombout.” In 1785, apparently following a standard form of will in existence in the Colonies, he had a will prepared dividing his possessions among his family. There are two differing abstracts that have been published for this will which have caused confusion. The two abstracts and the complete will read as follows:
181 JOHANN JOST SNYDER WILL
Abstract No. One Johannes Jost Snyder of Beekman Precinct, Farmer, 10 March 1785. Legacies to children: John, Simon, Marcus, Jacob, Isaac, Elizabeth and to the children of son Baltus.

Probated 11 Mar 1788
“In the name of God Amen, the tenth day of March Anno Domini one thousand seven hundred and eighty five, I Johannes Jost Snider of Beekman’s Precinct in Dutchess County, farmer, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, and being of a sound and perfect mind and memory, blessed be God for the same, do make and publish this, my last will and testament in manner and form following:
That is to say, principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God who gave it. And as concerning my body, I commend it to the earth to be buried in a decent manner at the disgression of my executors, nothing doubting, but the general resurrection to obtain everlasting happiness in the life to come through the merits and mediation of the blessed Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. As touching such worldly estate, wherewith it both pleased God to bless in this life. I give, devise, and disposed of the same in manner and form following:
That is to say, in the first place, I give and bequeath to my son John the sum of six shillings, lawful money of New York, in consideration of his birthright, as my oldest son and as a perpetual Bar that he, my said son John, nor his heirs shall have any right or interest to my estate real or personal. I do also give and bequeath to the heir of my son Baltus, deceased, (John Snyder) the sum of five shillings, lawful money of New York. I do also give and bequeath to my sons Semion, Marcus, Philip, Jacob, Isaac and my daughter Elizabeth, unto each of them the sum of five shillings, lawful money of New York as a bar from challing or claiming any right or interest to my estate. I do also give and bequeath to my wife Elizabeth all my estate, real and personal, bonds, notes, accounts, whatsoever to have and hold the said estate, sum or sums of money, so possessed of, to have and to hold the same during her time she remains my widow and from and after her marriage, or decease, which of them shall first happen.
After the determination of that estate, it is my will and desire all the estate she is then posessed of, after her decease, or marriage, then left of my estate shall
182 be given to my three sons, to witt: Abraham, George and Moses, and to their heirs and assigns and the same to be equally divided. All my estate, may said wife Elizabeth shall die, siezed in possession, reversion, or remainder, I give and divise to my sons Abraham, George and Moses, their heirs and assigns forever to have and to hold the same. I further desire that if any one of my three sons Abraham, George, or Moses should die without an heir, the said estate, so left, shall be equally divided between the sons, so living, of the three, be it more or less their heirs and assigns forever.
Further, it is my desire and will, and I do hereby empower my executors to sell and dispose of such of my estate, real or personal, as they shall judge sufficient, in order to pay my just debts, funeral-charges and largesses. I do hereby, utterly disallow, revoke and disannul all and every other former testament, wills, bequests, executors, by me many ways before named, willed and bequeathed, ratifying and confirming this and no other.
To be my last will and testament in witness whereof I hereby set my hand and seal this day (the words interlined on the second side in the 17 line of the three before signed), day and year first above written, signed, sealed and published and delivered by the above named Johannes Jost Snyder to be his last will and testament in the presence of us who have hereunder subscribed our names as witnesses in the presence of the testator.”
Johannes J. Snyder (his mark)
Jeremiah Brown John Losee Phebe Whitehead (her mark)
On 7 Mar 1788 will proved by John Losse of Beekman Precinct, farmer. Names other witnesses as Jeremiah Brown and Phebe Whitehead. Bartholomew Noxon, Jr., appointed executor. (Surrogate Records of Dutchess Co., N. Y., Liber A. Fol. 60; also Liber AA, Fol., 88 as Snyder).
The wording of the first abstract of this will has caused some consternation among Snyder researchers. First, Philip is omitted causing some to believe he died before 1785. Second, it infers Abraham, George and Moses are Baltus’ sons. Henry Z. Jones, apparently followed this abstract in his Palatine Families of New York. Others have followed his lead. A reading of the entire will, however, proves Abraham, George and Moses to be sons of Johann Jost and his second wife Elizabeth. Johann Jost Snyder died in 1788 at age 82. His life began in Germany, coming to America as a three-year old lad. He helped pioneer Dutchess County. He lived long enough to establish his dream of raising a growing and prosperous family in both New York and Canada.
