INTRODUCTION This volume, the Genealogy of the Vrooman Family, is the result of yeaTs of painstaking work by many historians, genealog:sts and interested members of the family. The search for Vrooman FamiHes residing in both the United States and in Canada has been thorough. The records of the United States Census Bureau, church records, family Bibles, gravestone inscriptions, family letters, court house files of deeds and wills, vital statistics, tax rolls, etc., have been copied with much care. Prof. Jonathan Pearson of Union College several years ago, wrote an extensive Lreatise of the early settlers of the Mo­ hawk Valley. He included in his study the Vrooman Family. He was accurate and painstaking in his findings. Mrs. Charlotte Taylor Luckhurst, several years deceased, of Albany spent thirl:Jy years in compiling facts about the fam­ ily. On her 76th birthday she wrote as follows: I collected materal for more than 20 years. On every item I found about the family, I gave autho1·ity on each sheet, I made 11, full copy of all Vroomans in everry church and Sun·ogate or Janrl re­ co-rd in this part of the countr~·, ~ay nothing of Bibles and cem­ etery records as well a,, hundreds of letters and genealogical fonns filled in. There wa.-, about what would h:we filled 11 steam­ n· trunk when l\Irs. Wickersham took it .from me, my health and age showing that I would ne,·e1· be able to complete the woJ·k and keep up the work for my clients·. Mrs. George Walker of Los Angeles has for years carried on an extensive correspondence with hundreds of Vroomans in various parts of the country. She has their names arrang­ ed in alphabetical order with a biographical sketch for each one. She has generously loaned us this material. In 1946, a genealogy entitled Josiah B. Vrooman, His An­ cestors and Descendants was published by Lora Vrooman Randall and Florence Vrooman Houghton, The volume covers quite thoroughly the descendants of Josiah B. Vrooman, 1778-1850. He belonged to the sixth generation of the Vroo­ man Family. They have aided us with their work on this particular branch of the family. Henry Cady of Utica, N.Y. some yeM·s ago prepared a short genealogy of the Vrooman family, following quite closely Dutch Reform Church-records and those data left by Jona­ than Pearson. We have made use of his manuscript. We have in our possession not only the material accum­ ulated by those mentioned above but we have been collecting data on the family for about twent~• years. [ 3 ] The volume as it will appear is ne:ther perfect nor complet~. There are many lost families that we hope will be located soon. The book will contain some errors. We hope it will be possible for us to publish later ADDENDA ET ERRATA to the Vrooman genealoro•. This will be possible only if mem­ bers of the family write in g:ving us additional informatir,n and pointing out errors that occur. The spelling of the name Vrooman (Vroman) varies with the family. It seems to have !men a matter of personal pre­ ference with some. Our inability to consult each individ­ ual as to his preference has caused us to appear rather arbitrury !n many cases. We have used the "oo" unless otherwise instructed, as most of the early Church records and records of wills and deeds were spelled that way. THE EGIUONT TRADITION No family tradition is stronger than that existing among the Vroomans as to the origin of the family name. The Vroomans claim, and the1·e is some factual basis for their belief, that we are descendants from the Egmont fam:ly, of which Count Egmont, Prince of Gavre, 1522-1568 was outstanding. So strong has this belief been that members of the family have given their children the Egmont name. Frank Buffington Vrooman named his son, b. 1898, John Von Egmont Black Vrooman. Jacob Vrooman, b. 1808, named one of his sons, b. July 24, 1844, Henry Egmont Vrooman. Ellery Bryan Vrooman, b. Sept. 17, 1896, named his son b.1926, Hugh Egmont Vrooman. Hiram Vrooman Jr b March 1, 1871 named his son b Aug. 15, 1917, Egmont. There have been some rather half-hearted efforts to actual­ ly reveal the connection that binds tJhe Vrooman family with Egmont royaltl-.r. Years ago we were informed by a member of the family that one of our ancestors named Egmont was called the pious man or in Dutch, Der Frohmann, and that this was the orgin of the Vrooman name. The man telling us this did not know the name of the Egmont family using this appellation. We feel sure that even now most members of the Vrooman family do not know. Their letters so indi­ cate. The Pious Man, called Der Fromme or Der Frohmann was Frederick III the elector Palatine. His sister Sabina had married Count Egmont. Thui: Count Egmont married into the Frohmann Family. For verification of this see. p. 16 Vol. ix, 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica under the paragraph. Frederick III. Count Egmont and Sabina had eleven children, three boys [ 4 ] and eight girls. After the execution of Egmont in 1568, La­ mora!, Jr. fought in the battle of Ivr.v. The estate of the family was confiscated. The wife and children took refuge in a convent· for a t:me, but historical record is rather vague as to man·iages and offspring. Perhaps some real re:seach on this line would bring some tangible results.

Mr. Van Laer, New York Archivist. William J. Hoffman :n the April number of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 1936, has given us the following account of Hendrick Meese Vrooman's family found in the church records of Leiden.

AtJ the time of the arrival of Hendrick Meese Vrooman in New Netherlands in 1664 with his five children, there were already two other sons of Bartholomeus Vrooman of Hol­ land residing in the New World, Pieter Meese Vrooman and Jacob Meese Vrooman.

Coat of Arms

The seat of this family was in Holland

Arms: Pm- fesse, one, per pale, (a) or chev­ ronny gules, (b) or fretty gules; two, harry of three, purpure; or fretty gules, gules, gules, over all a fesse purpure, charged with a heart inverted and sur­ mounted by a crescent sable.

Crest: Issuant from a mount vert, charged with five bezents, two pine cones sa­ ble.

On June 9, 1897 Abraham Giles Brower of Utica, N.Y. wrote a letter to Hon. John W. Vrooman of Herkimer telling him about the Vrooman Coat of Arms that had been handed down to him. The letter is as follows : The old arms that I have is painted on wood, being in distemper (not oil) which indi~ates that it was painted prior to the 13th centu1·y and is therefore not younger then 450 years. The qunr­ te'ring is the arms of Lameree branch of the Egmont family. We belong to the branch of Egmont Von Neijenburg which is the same family only the title of count did not descend in that line. We both started with Redbout, a Frisean King, in 725 A.D., and he wns a tl1or'!ughbred. TJ1c. crest indicates that the armour worn was made of rawhide \and ornamented with plumes. For anterior to ·introductCon of iron for that use when your ancesto,,-s emerged from the swamps of Batavia to fight Caesar they were clad in armour of rawhide and their spears and clubs were, more than a match to the Roman swords. At any rate the Romans never conquered them. The pomegranate indicates that the arms were in the Crusades and fought in the holy wars. Several years later John W. Vrooman wrote the following on the bottom of the letter that Dr. Brower had sent to him. Dr. A. G.Brower died about ten years ago. He was an accom­ plished gentleman, a traveler, a historian, and given to re­ search. He was proud of his Vrooman ancestry and visited Hol­ land several times. This brief explanation is given to h:ilp you consider his letter and also Artist Crider's letter. THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED TO THE DESCENDANTS OF OUR EARLY PIONEERS WHO DIS­ PLAYED NOBLE TRAITS OF CHARACTER, COURAGE AND DARING; HONESTY, THRIFT AND PERSEVERANCE. THE VROOMAN FAMILY 1. HENDRICK MEESE VROOMAN, born in Holland, son of Bartholomeus Vrooman, came to New Netherlands in 1664, accompanied by his five dhildren. After living "be­ hind Kinderhook" and in Lansingburgh, he moved to Sche­ nectady. About 1677, Pearson stat,;is that he purchased 20 motgens of land of the Van Curler' Bourwery, a parcel of land commencing a little south of wa.ter street and extend­ ing south-westerly to or near the sand bluff, embracing the land covered by the canal and 1·ailroad tracts, being bounded, on the east by the land belonging to the Veeders. As there were then no public roads across the flats in this direction, Vrooman's land was reached by a lane still in existence (1883) called Vrooman's allel', or lane, extending from Water Street south-westerly', nearly parallel to Rotterdam Street. His village lot on the north side of State Street, ex­ tended from Lang Gang (Centi·c Street) to within 49 feet of Given's Hotel and extending back northerly about 500 feet. In historical documents preserved by the state of New York is a "List of ye people kilcl and destroyed by ye French of Canada and their Indians at Skinnechtady twenty miles to ye Westward of Albany, between Saturday and Sunday ye 9th clay of February, 1686 90" .... and among the names is that of Hend Meese Vrooman and his son Bartholomeus. "lfoncl l\foesc Vrooman and Bartholomeus Vrooman kild and burnt, Item 2 negroes of He11d Meese ye same death." Hendrick Meese Vrooman's estate was inherited b3• his two sons, Adam ancl Jan. 2 ADAM VROOMAN, b in Holland, Sept. 14, 1649, came to Americu in 1664 with his futher Hendrick l\Ieese Vrooman, 3 JAN VROOMAN, born in Holland, l•'eb 17, 1653, second son of Henclrick Meese Vrooma11. 4 BARTHOLOMEUS VROOMAN, born in Holland, June 4, 1659, the child agecl th·c who accompanied his father to the New Worlcl in 1664. 2. ADAM VROOMAN (Hendrick Meese Vrooman) b Sept. 14, 1649, in Holland and at the age of 15 came to new Nether­ land with his father Hendrick Meese Vrooman. In 1670, with the consent of his father, he bound himself for two years to Cornelia Vanden Bergh of Albany County to learn the Mill­ wright's trade. For the first year he was to receive 80 guild­ ers of silver and a pair of new shoes, and for the seconrl yeal' 120 guilders of silver. [ 11 ] 12 'l'HE VROOMAN FAMILY

In 1683 he built a mill on the Sand-kil where the Brandywine now stands (1883). In 1688 he bought lnnds of the Mohawk Sachems at Fort Hunter. On June 5, 1688 he received from the Commun Council uf Albany a grnnt of lund consisting of about sixty acres which are de~cribed as "being on both sides of the Mohawk River west of Hendrick Cuyler's land - on the south side ten morgens opposite a place called by the Indians JUCK­ TANUNDA, that is STONE HOUSES, being a hollow rock on ye river side where ye Indians lie under when they travill to and from there country". The other piece:; on the north side of the river, one o. little "higher than ye said hollow rock or stone houses at n place called by ye natives SYEJODENAWADDE und so eastwud down the river so ns to comprehend twelve mo1·gens and the other just above the marked tree of Hend­ rick Cuvle1· ... one morgen and three or four !ittle islands". These lands were granted for a yearly rent of two bushels of winter wheat conditioned that he should build a small house on it and "11low a part of the land next sp1-ing". On the 22nd of April, 1703, he received a patent for his mill­ wright on the Sand-kil, described us "all that creek near Sche­ nectady and the mill thereon erected and all profit•, etc, to the said creek belonging". He is said to have "enjoyed the same" about twenty years. On January 2, 1705-6, Vrooman bought additional !.ind of the trustees of Schenectady for the purpose of erecting another mill the1·e. All that remains to show the occupation of this ~pot for milling purposes by the Vroomans is the ancient brick house built probably by Adam's son Wouter, 11till standing (1883) and used as a dwelling. In 1707, he petitioned to have his patent confirmed an:l ex­ plained because some people insinuate that two small springs or sprouts of water which run into said c1·eek and a1l meet at a pince called SYMONSE'S (Veeder's) meadow were not in­ cluded in his patent; he therefore de:;ired a new patent, which should include the same and the whc,!e Sand-Kil to the Mohawk. Vrooman's patent for lands in Schoharie is dated Aug. 26, 1714. This tract comprised "GOO acres of lowland and upland", and was occupied by his son Pieter and his descendants. March 30, 1726, he obtained a new Indian title to the flats known as "Vrooman's Land", about 1400 acres of the best land in the Schoharie Valley. Adam V!'ooman lik!lwise with his brother Jan Vroomnn, in­ h.~rithi about 20 morgens of 111:11~ from his father _Hendi:i~k, who boug th,i same of the ndm1mstrators of Mrs. Antoma Van Cuylnr. Adam's portion cr.n.sisting of ten morgens, lay directly south of the village and is now (1883) largely occupied by the canal and railroads. In 1726, Adam conveyed his portion to his son Jan. A wood lot was conveyed to him by the patentees of Schenectady on May 4, 1716, which extended along Union St­ to the grounds now occupied by the New York Central rail­ road track and was bounded northerly by Green Street. This lot he gave to his son Jan, January 17, 1726-7, "being four morgens of bushland with one-half of the bre\,·hou~e thereon, erected and likewise one-half of the furnaces, coppers, vats, vessels, 14 THE VROOMAN FAMILY

and all other utensils in said brewhouse, being at present in the use and occupation of said Adam Vrooman and Barent his son". This brewhouse stood on the easte1·ly end of the afore­ said lot where the canal and railroad Cl'llSS Union Street, which wns often called Brewer's Street. On the 4th dr7 of May, 1718, the patentees conveyed to Adam Vrooman a "piece of pasture land butting the road (front !ltl'eet) south that lends from the nol'th gate towards Jan Lu­ ykasse's forty rods 11nd foul' feet, northward by the Mohawk River 2!1 rods. but.~ing eastward the pnstul'e ground of Johannes Teller 46 rods, and westward the land in possession of D1wid Lewis 42 rods, all Rrnland measure, containing 2 morgens :J,16 rods". In 1727 he con\'eyed all that pol'tion of this pasture lot lying between the west line of No. 35 Fl'ont Street and the east­ erly line of :mid lot, :J35 ft.'et Amsterdam measure, to his son Jnn, l'escn·ing howeve1·, a J>al'ccl 35 feet long and 18 feet broad fur a bUl')"ing place for himself, his heirs and assigns forever.

His house and lot and "bhe we!lterly half of this lot, by his w:11, were devised to his son Cor'nelis, who died the next year, leaving the property to his mother by whom it was, devised to her son Bartholomew in 1734.

Jan. 12, 1760, Alida Van Der Heyden, b. Aug. 28, 1734, dau of David Van Der Heyden and Geertury Visscher. A sketch of the Re,·. Barent Vrooman's life is given by Professor Jonat.han Pearson in the History of the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. The sixth min­ :ster of the church was Domine Barent Vrooman. He was the first native of the province and the only one of this city ever called to this sni:red office. His great b'Tandfat;her, Hendrick Meese Vrooman, one of the pioneer settlers of the place, to­ gether with his son Bartholomew, was killed in 1690, in the sacking of the village by the French. Among those who es­ caped was his son Adam V,rooman, whilst his sons, W outer and Barent were car1(ed away captive into Canada, whence they did not return until many years after. W outer was but ten years old when thus cruelly separated from his pa11ents . . . . The subject of this notice, the eleventh child of Wou­ ter Vrooman, was born 011 the 24th clay of. December, 1725. Barent Vrooman, began h:s studies for the ministry under the direction of Do. Van Santwood, and finished them with Do. Theodore Frelinghuysen of Albany. Having received a call to the church of New Platz, Feb. 4, 1751, he sailed for Holland soon after to complete his ~heological studies at the University of Utrecht and obtained ordination, On the 7th of January, 1752, he was licensed and on the 7th of March, 1753 was ordained by the classis of Utrecht. He returned to New Platz, and on the 26th of August, 1753, was inducted into his office as pastor. His pai•!sh embraced a territory of more than two hundred square miles and the ancient church 38 THE VROOMAN FAMILY

whose co1•ner stone was laid by ·his hand is still used as a house of worship (1880). The church in Schenectady had been without a pastor more than two years wlhen he re- 1lurned from Holland, but within one month aftler Do. Vroo­ man's installation at New Platz they gave him a call to come here.

Tho expense and trouble o.f calling 11, minister 100 ycnr11 ago is very imperfectly understood by those of the present day. All candidates in theology were obliged to opend moro or less time at a University in the fatherland, and aftor their ordiuation they returned at the expense of the churches calling them. In case of a subsequent remo\'nl it wns customary for the church making the call to pny a portion of the expense. The call of Do­ mine Vrooman cost the chu1·ch of Sch:mst years to them. There is not much Sl'ntimcnt in lcdgeri:?, aml cash hooks, nor pnthus in receipt books, but 1 confess to havo hcen deeply mov­ ed in comparing the bold st.rung signature of the young Bnrent Vrooman of 30 and the ~:amc sign manual in trembling crool:cd lines oi Barent Vrooman i11 his old age. For 113 years after the founding of this \'illage there was no other church except the Dutch in this place, although r,1,veral English families Ji,:cd here as early n!': 1710."....

Isa&c Vrooman. father of Petei 'No. l!J8), had removed his family below the I-Ielleberg some 'lie before, and had, at the time of which I am writing, visited his son to procure his aid in moving his family back to his old resi­ dence in Schoharie. A few days before the arrival of his father, Peter had removed from a. hut he occupied at the fort, to nis dwelling, which he intended should be his winter quarters, think­ ing the season so far ndv:mced that the enemy would not re­ appear that fall. "Peter was a self-taught blacksmith, and had a little shop near his house where he usually did his own horseshoeing. It was found necessary, previous to leaving home, to set several ahoes, and the father (ISAAC) rose before :laylight, carried a shovel of coals from the house to ,.he shop end made a fire. As it began to get light, the old gentleman left the shop as was supposed, to call his son. On his way two guns were fired at him, the one by the Tory chieftain, and the other by an Indian warrior beside him. The door of Vrooman's dwelling was on the sido opposite the shop, and the son (PETER ISAAC) already up, liearing the report of the two guns, ·and rightly conjecturing the cause, sprang out of his house and ran towards the fort, a few hundred yards distance. He had gone but a short distance from his house, when he was discovered, fired upon and hotly pur­ sued by several Indians, but reached tho fort in safety. "The wife of the younger Vrooman (Peter Isaac)" on hearing the guns, ran up stairs, and from a chamber window saw an Indian in the act of tearing off the scalp of the elder Vro'>man who was then on his hands and knees bellowing most piteously. THE VROOMAN FAMILY 45

After the scnlp wa.'I torn off, the Indian who wa~ thu reader's old acquaintance, Seth's Henry, dispatched his victim with o war club, cut his thront, and with the bloody knife added another notch on the club, to the r1,cord of the many s.:alps he hnd taken ;n the war; after which he hnd lain it upon the body of the mur­ dered man nnd left him. The reader will remember thnl this Schoharie chief left a war club in the same neighborboori some time before which rl!corded a most startling account of his prowess and cruelty; the record was mut'h larger at II Inter period, and I think it hardly possible that :in equal n11r.1hc1· of scalps and prisoners were made during the wnr by :iny oLhl!t' individual Indian. When thi. enemy tmtP.rcd Vroo.nan's house for plunder, Mrs. Vrooman went below, and being known to several of the Indians, she addressed them in their own dia­ lect, and they spared her life, probably from the recolleetion of former kindess." Isaac Vroman's will was elated Sept. 3, 1774, proved l\ilar. 27, 1789. In :the mentioned his eldest son, PETER VROO­ MAN, also his sons, ADAM, ISAAC, and MARTHYNUS; and his daugther, GEER'l'RUY. 1!l8.

Her life was spared by the Indians in their rnitl ot NoY., 1781. In the rct•ords of the Dutch Church al Schohn1·ie there is the account of Peter's Inter marriage: "June 24, 1787, Peter I. Vrooman, son of Isaac Vmonrm deceased, and Annatje Zeile, dau of Peter Zeile, Jr., r.111r­ ried." In the Otsego Herald, N.

close of the Revolution, excepting when reinforcements were sent to the valley or when the immediate command, by reason of courtesy or seniority of rank, was transferred to the visit­ ing commandant. During Johnson's invasion Colonel Peter Vroomu.n was superior officer and took po.rt in the defense of the Middle Fort. The Continental Major wo.s either 11 coward or trnitor, as he insisted on giving 11dmitt11nce to the flag of truce, upon which Colonel Vrooman took command, even is­ suing the nrnmunition himself, that the men might not know the scantiness of the supply, o.nd thus by his boldness and de­ termination saving the Fort. In addition to his military ser­ vice, Colonel Vrooman held the office of Secretary to the Com­ mittee of Safety, was elected to the Continental Congress, in 1776, was l\lember of Assembly, serYed 1111 delegate to the General Committee and filled other important positions of trust.

In the fall of 1780, about 800 strong, Sir John Johnson made preparation to destroy the vnlle;\·s of Schoharie and Mohawk. The forces consisted of British regulars, loyal:sts, Tories, and Indians assembled at 'l'ioga, and marched then up along the eastern branch of the Susquehanna and crossed thence to Schoharie; on the 16th of October they encamped allont four miles above the upper fort. It WB!I their intention to pass the upper fort in the night and to attack the middle fort at duyb!'eak, as it was expected that the upper fol't would be the first object of attack they hoped to sur­ prise the middle fort by this unexpected movement. Sir John Johnson lmd ordered his troops to be put in motion at four in the moming, but from some mistake it was five before they began their march, consequently the rear guard was discovered by the sentinels of the upperfort, nnd the alnrm gun was fired, which wns quickly answered from the other forts and twenty riflemen under the supervision of Timothy l\lurphy were sent out from the micldlo fort to watch the motion of the Enemy. They soon fell in with the advance party and retreated back. The firing of the alarm gun disappointed the enemy and be­ came o. signal fo1· them to commence the destruction of the settlement--houses, barns, and stacks of ha.y were burned and cattle, sheep and horses were ki11ed or driven away. The Indians being in advance of the other forces were the first to approach the fort. About eight o'clock the enemy commenced a. regular attack on the fort which was returned with effect from the garrison. The regular troops fired o. few cannon shots and threw a num­ ber of shells, doing no other mischief than destroying a. quantity of bedding and nearly frightening to death a little Frenchman 74 THE VROOMAN FAMILY

The garrison only amounted to 160 regular troops and about 100 militia, Their ammunition was nearly exhausted; to attempt to defend the fort 11ppenre1l to be madnes£. While to surrender was to deliver up them!lelves, their wives, and children to im• mediate death ur at least to a long captivity. Major Woolsey who commande1I the fort wns inclined to sur­ render on the first appearenee of the enemy but was pre,·ented by t;he officers of the m'ilitia who resolved to defend.it or to die in the contest. Woolsey'& presence of mind forsook him in the hour of dange1·; he concealed himself at first with the women 1111d children in the hou:;e, and when ilriven out by the ridicule of his new ns~ocintes he crawled round the intTenchments on his hands and knees 11rn2d the jeers and bravos of the militia who felt their courage revive 11s their laughter was excited by the cowardice of the Major. The enemy perceiving that their shot·nnd shell did little or no execution formed under shelter of a small building near the fort and prepared to carry the works by assault. While the pre­ parations were making, a flag was seen to approach the fort. All seemed inclined to admit it when Murphy and Bartholomew Vrooman who suspected that it was, only an artifice to learn ac• tunl strength of the garrison and aware that for them at least there was no safety in capitulation, fireil upon the flag, The flag retired and some soldien; were ordered to arrest Murphy-. But so gi·eat was his popula1·ity among the soldfors that no one dared to obey. The flag approached the second time nnd was a second time driven back by Mu1·phy and his adherents. A white flag wns then orderecl to be raised in the fort but Murphy threatened with instant death any one who shoul

Simon J, Vrooman, a l'esident of the town of Osyego, served in the company commanded by Cnpt. John i\lymlertse in the reghmmt of Cot: Abraham Wemple dul'ing the years 1778-1779. Was nls,1 in service during 1780 in Col. Lewis Du­ bose's Regiment ot'·State troops or Levies. He was in the Quart Master's Department witli Col. Christopher Yates in 1777, and served in said department in the county of Sal'ntoga until the surrender of Burgoyne on the 10th of October, 1777. In 1781, he scn·cd as n Lieutenant in Col. Lnwrcncc Gross's Company in Col. Willett's Regiment and was stationed at I•'ort Plain with Jclles A. Fonda who says they were engaged at various times in ,·arious pnrts of the country along the bnnks of the Mohawk River ns fnr west as tltc Black Rh·er County as it was called, being about 50 miles north of Fort Stnnwyx. On October 2!l, 18!12, Simon J. Vroomnn made npplication fot n pens,ion undcl" the act- of Congress of June 7, 1832, and being "unable by 1·eason of bodily infirmity to nppenr in open court and aged 72 years", made the following desposition: (Here followed a long account of his many u11•.1ignmcnts-giving n. sketch of the i111mecliatc events leading up to the surrender) -"Genl. Sturk. had obtained a victory at B1mnington while we were at the west so that Genl. Schuyler, after obtaining two Yictol'ies ove1· St. Leger, Colonels Skeen Baum and Breymnn delh·erccl the command to Gates. We staid a fow days at Still­ water and made a floating bridge over the North River. Gen. Arnold and Col, Yates, with 1500 men, went in search of· a bettH position for the army to encamp and fortify and the next day the army ,,·us in motion for Becman's heir:hts where we erected brenst works :md redoubts. At this time the two armies were r,nly nbout 10 miles apart, daily expecting a genernl engagement. On the l!lth of September, our Scout.~ di~covered the enemy in full force taking the Highlands near the Rh·er and opening a wuy for their Artillery and Baggage. Col. Morgan's Riflemen met them near noon when an action commenc~d. rnch army trying to outflank the other nnd fresh troops arriving continually to the ai-;~istance nf each. About two hours before sunset the conflict was trcnwndous and con­ tinued till after durk. The field was left to the enemy at last. The next morning, Genl. Arnold said to Col. Yates: "We have met BURGOYNE with one single line of men in front and one in the rear whom I made change front when I thought neces­ sary. Our loss is not so great as I expected. I l1ave the returns of every Regiment engaged in the action - tile number killed and wounded arc 319, 63 killed, the remainder mostly wounded". Our Arm}" offered tn renew the engagement the next morning but the enemy avoirlcrl it until the 7th of Octobe1·. On that day, the enemy sent n strong body of troops lo the west of our camp to take away u quantity of forage from u farm threc-fourth11 of a mile distance. A little after noon, our men attacked them and drove them from their position and their connon. J. saw Col. Kosciusko calling to THE VROOMAN FAMILY 97

our men to halt and present a rally of the enemy. Frasier tried to rally them but they ran to their works. Arnold fol­ lowed close after them and ordered them to ground their arms. They firecl at him and shot his horse and broke his leg and he was carried to his quarters on a litter. Our army followed close upon the men until we got possession of their works except Frasier's Redoubt on the verge of the hill. The next day was spent in mnnonading the enemy and I think i;ome were sent to prevent the enemy from crossing the River. On the 9th in the night the -enemy rctreate,l to their breastworks on SCHUYLER'S farm and we erected several batteries and kept a brisk cannonading until they sun-endered the 17th of Oct­ ober, 1777, to the number of G,:rno men including GOO Tories and Canadians who were allowed hr terms of the Capitulation to go to Cmmda. I think Col. Yates told me wci had taken 6500 stands of arm:<, H2 pieces of artillery, besides ammunition, waggons, etc. Our army was drawn upon the side of the hill on Genl. Sclturler's Farm and we had a full view of the pris­ oners :~s ther start:ed on their wa)" to Boston. On their rett·cat they destroyed everrthing. l\iajor Genl Lincoln was wounded the morning after their defeat while riding on horseback with­ in i:;ight ()f Fmser's Redoubt. ·we then rotu111ed to respective homes after n service of about 7 months."

Sometime about 1830, L:11tle Adam, as he was called (No. 330), went to Canada to visit his uncle as his father had been told that a position would be found for Adam whenever he would come to Canada. Upon his arrival in Canada he was offered work but upon condi­ tion that he would renounce allegiance to the United States and become a Canadian citizen. Th:s was not satisfactory to young Adam, so he returned home and about 1837 came to Illinois. In 1866, his son, Adam Clark Vrooman was born in La Salle, Ill. Adam N.

"Lieutenant-Colonel James Vrooman of the Township of Brock, Ontario Co. was born on the banks of the Niagara Ri\•er in 17:!4. His ancestors had migmted from Holland and settled along the banks of the Mohawk a few miles above Albany since called and known as Vroo.man's land. When the Revo!ution broke ou,,. Captain Adam Vrooman, father of the subject of our sketch, and his two brothers, took up arms for their king and country n­ ,gainst the 'Provincialists' as they were called, and were en­ gaged in some of the many eventful battles of that period . . • Capt. Adam Vrooman took up land on the banks of the Niagara River, near Old Fort George, but remained there only a short time lcmving it for a beautiful farm overlooking Queenstown Heights. Here James Vrooman, the youngest son of Captain Adam Vrooman was born. In 1812 ... James Vrooman joined the Glengary Fenci'bles at Three Rivers under command of Col. Battersby (in defense of his country). He was present and took part in many engagements-the capture of the American arn:y at St.Regis-the storming of Ogdensburgh-the battle of Stoney Creek - the taking of Oswego on the memorable day at.

Vrooman was· born on the farm whare his fathe.r, Jacob Vrooman and his mother Oail'oline lived in 1799, half a mile this side of the old Vrooman house, or the family cemetery THE VROOMAN FAMILY 149 on the old rood. He had an older brother, CORNELIUS, and sis­ ters, NANCY, FANNY and MARIA. The homestead is not there now but near where Will Steers one familly house stands, John I. (or J.) Vrooman married NaomiRickard of Palantine Bridge in 1822. They had a double wedding with Jane Vrooman (No. 628) his cousin, who married Isaac Morris. The minister's name was Domine VanVcchten. The Amsterdam Morris family arc descen­ dants of Jane and Isaac Morris. The minister's name was Domine VanVechten (Vechen), and the fee for each was $2.00. They rode in a two horse lumber wng,in with old fashioned double armed chitin to sU in. One of the chairs i11 st.ill tream1rcd as a relic biY a descendant. Naomi wore a sky blue crepe dress-hJstory docs not say what Jane wore. John I. Vrooman brought his bride to the home of his father, and they started housekeeping in one side of the large ancestral home. Ten children were born to each couple. Catherine, Caroline, and Delia, children of John J. and Naomi, were born at the old home. When the old grandfather was taken seriously ill, "Aunt Plank", Naomi's sister who lived where the Methodist Church now stand3 (1880), at the corner of State and Lafayette Streets, came out to call and ceeing how much Naomi had to do, she offered to help by taking one of the child­ ren· home with her for awhile. Naomi said she couldn't spa.re the olds one as 'she helped her quite a little, nor the little baby Delia, so if she wished any for visit she might take the midrile one, Caroline. Afterwards when they sent for her to come home Mrs. Plank would coax to keep her a little longer-she was so attached to her. So Caroline Jived there all her girl life and, she was called their "adopted daughter." Caroline attended the old Union Street .school and they used to think it too far for her to walk so would harness up the horse and and carriage and take her down to school. The Planks were considered Well-to-do; and had silver handles on their carriage. On Sundays they would 1lrh-e up to John I. Vrooman's hou.se and take in part of his fam­ ily to church-the old Dutch Reformed church. When Jacob, John I's father died, ,f<>hn sold his share of the farm to Cornelius, who also lived in the house, and brought the Vl'ooman tavern on State Street near where the Tabernacle Chlil'Ch stood in 1880. The farm extended on both sides of State Street, and 11111 the way back to Robinson's woods. The holtse \\·as an old fashioned tavern \\;th, a well in front. It was> a general stopping place for tra,·clers between Schenectady and Albany nnd also for many a large caraYan covered over with hoop11 and canvass enroute for Cal.Uo.mia. There was a great deal of teaming done past thl!'l"e too. And Naomi never knew how many people would be stopping there for dinner. She used to bake fifteen pies at a time and other things n proportion. The rest of John J .'s childen were born at this place. John I. Jr., Adam P., Fanny, Mary, Clara, Le,vis and Agnes. The children used to wnlk out about a, mile farther to school_the same spot where the newer school house now stands. Af~r school they usied to walk al,mg picking ben:ies etc. towM"d "Brouwer's Land" until time to bring the cows home to milk and then dri,·e them home. "Brouwer's Land" was a piece of land contajning 60 acres which one of my aunts says was left to, John I., by his father, but there was no house on it at this 150 THE VROOMAN FAMILY

time. Later when John I's oldest son, John 1'. Jr., ma.iTied the first time, John I. the fnther built him a house on this littlo fam1. When John I. sold the fnrm he bought the Schuyler house, about 1860, which became the rea.1 family homestead. This was farther out on the Albany Road opposite BartholomeuR Vrooman's holliSe n.nd is at present owned by l\Ir. Stanford who bought it from John I. Vrooman.in 1859, This Vrooman homestead wos substan­ tia.Uy built with walls four feet thick and massivo in structure. Hero the family of ten chilclren grew up and spent many happy days. Fanny, John I. Vrooman's maiden sister came to lh·e with them until her death. The spacious house was considered a man­ ion then and a "husking ber." anrl "apple-paring bee" crowded the pm·lors and eYen the halls with a. men·y company. Lots of sleigh rides the young people had from here too. John I.'s dau­ ghters. l\lnr)' and Fann)' were mar1ied at the Jltnnford house just five months apart br Pastor Wells of LishasXlll Chui-ch. His family becoming smalle11 ·b~-iio many getting 1niiTried, John I., sold his farm and house to Standford March 1859 and hill son Jolm I. Jr. having lost his wife at the home his father John I. had built fo1· him on the 'B1·ouwcrland' moved into, that house on the· 'Consaul road.' It wa.,; there thati John l's youngest dnu­ ghteu died. Soon after he retired and went to lh·e in Wate1'\•liet where hii; mnn·ied son Lewis, and married daughters, Catherine nnd Delia, alrencl)' lived, Aunt Fanny going too as her home w~ \\;th them. And here John J, Vrooman spent the remainder of his life. He died Apr.6, 1879 nt the age· of 79 year;;, his wife Naomi sun•iving him about a year. "John I. Vrooman and his ,\;fe Naomi had their po,rtrait.« painted .by an artist who r.ame to their house and painted them from life. The frames arc said to ha.Ye been first ma.de--thon covered with lace and then with· gold leaf. These handsome pic­ tures are still owned by one of the descendants. "John I. Vrooman and Naomi his "ife a.re both buried in the old Vrooman cemetery ncrosG from the Vrooman homestead on the "Old Rond" between Albnny and Schenectady where John I.'s parent.~ and so many of their ancestors arc buried. -Family Records Note: John I. Vrooman was \'CIT neat in his person and al­ ways looked trim and when he drove to the city he wore his "high hat.'' He had i;plendid judgment nnd wns a fine manager. He was very fond of making presents to tllc younger 1-clations. One time he drove up to the l1ouse of Anna Lansing his niece, and suTpriscd her with a. present of a side saddle. Clara Lansing, Iris daughter presented her father with a goldheaded cane bf which he was Yery proud.'' Munsell's History of Schenectady gives this account of the old farm: "In 1755 John Duncan a young Scotchman with his wife, Ma:i:tha l\fa.rch, came to Schenectady. He pu,rchased all of the present town of Princeto\\11, He built n country scat called "The Hermitage" on the farm of 800 ac:res in the to\\11 of Nyshayuna.. a pa.rt of which is now owned by the widow of Ex-Senator Stan­ ford on the Albany turnpike. THE VROOMAN FAMILY 151

"Mr Duncan died Mn,· 6, 1791, .Shortly after the Hem1itage burned down and the pince came into the hands of Schnylers who built a house about 100 yards fro,'ll wht:re the Hermitage stood. The Schuylers ofter living there a few yea~s. the plac~.was sold to Captain Hand and he sold it to John I. Vrooman"who in turn sold it in March lJ.869 to Josiah Stanford. •Upon his death in 18151 Senator Charles Stanford bought tthe place, rebuilt it and con­ verted it into a fir.:it class 1Stock flllrm.

Mr. Vroman was located near Verdun France nnd has had the opportunity of visiting several interesting cities in France, which were destroyed by the Huns. His division was preparing to leave for the front when pence was declared." 1151. JORN C. VROMAN7 (522, Ephraim•1-250, Josias E.r.) John Calvin Vroman was born September 30, 1847 on a farm in Fulton, Schoharie Co., N. Y. He was the eighth of a family of twelve children. His early education was obtained at a countl·y school where shortly after coming into his teens he was unable to attend more than about four months of the year as his assistance was required in the farm work. How- THE VROOMAN FAMILY 209 ever by perseverance he did succeed, through attendance at this school and later at a select school and an academy, in securing a good common school education. After teaching a country school for two and one-half years in his native state, he went in 1869 to St. Clair Co., Ill., where he taught school for three years, at Freeburg and other places. In 1872 Mr. Vroman came to Colorado, bring­ ing with him $2,200 that he had saved by years of frugality and perseverance. The country was then new, but undaunted by the hardships and privations of early frontier life, he took up a tract of government land with his uncle Benjamin Mattice, bought a herd of Texas cattle and embarked on his career as a cattleman. This was four years before Colorado was admitted as a state. In spite of opposition on the part of some who had settled in the valley even earlier, Mr. Vroman and his pa1·tner increased the size of their herd and altho terrific losses were often suffered on account of several hard winters, they forged ahead tho many others, on account of discouragement, gave up and left the counti·y. Mr. Vroman finally bought out his partner's interest and soon became one of the leading cattlemen in the valley. Mr. Vroman played a leading part politically in the early history of Otero Co. se1·ving as County Commissioner and being elected Mayor of Manzanola for three consecutive terms. He did not desire political office and only accepted on account of the importunities of his friends and from a sense of duty. On June 26, 1889, he married l.Vliss Sallie A. Beatty, a sister of James, Jasper, and John Beatty, well-known early pioneers in this valley. To this union one child was born, John Calvin Vroman, Jr. Mrs. Vroman died May 1, 1890. Mr. Vroman was equally prominent in Masonic circles. Though Mr. Vroman had many good qualities yet the ones that stood out most prominently to the view of his friends were honesty and good common sense. He died suddenly on November 8, 1926, leaving an only son, John Calvin Vroman, Jr., and his brother Josiah Vroman of Middleburgh, N. Y. 1888. JOHN C.~, Jr., b Apr. 7, 1890. Was a. concliclate from Otero and Crowley Co. to the Colorado State Legislature. He served in World War I and is well known in Middleburgh where his father was born. 1163, ALBERT L.7 VROOMAN (530, Josiah H.0-254, Harmanusn) b Apr. 16, 1854, m Feb. 10, 1877, Geraldine Hortense Mayo, b Jan. 15, 1861. 210 'IHE VnoOMAN FAMILY

On July 15, 1926 under caption of 30 years ngo 11ppe11red this article in the Evening Journal. "The Empire State recently mnde 11 remarkable run from Syracuse to Albany. The train was drawn by engine No. 888 in charge of the veteran engineer Jacob Vrooman of Schenec­ tady. It was scheduled to leave Syracuse at 4 P. 1\1. and arrive in Albany at O:55. Engineer Vrooman pulled the throttle for the start at exactly 4 :41. He was obliged to run slowly through the street in Syracuse, and six minutes were lost in getting out of the city limits. He slowed up ut Herkimer where he expected n trnin was sidetracked for him to pass. The train had proceeded and on he sped again. He slowed up again at the signal tower west of Little Falls and after several other losses of time his train came to a stop in the station at Albany at 7 :08 o'clock. The run had been made in two hours and twenty seven minutes and the regular running time is two hours and fifty-five minutes. It is said that the train passed the station at Fonda at such a rate of speed that the spectators expected to sec the station follow after the train." 2025.

The Stars and Stripes covered the mortal remains of six of Schenectady's dead as they rested for a time in the armory among the comrades of another day while all the city paid tribute to their memory. Among the list who were so honored was the name of Harmon Vrooman. 2027. KATE ELIZABETH8 VROOMAN, b Feb. 1, 1862, m 1883, John C. Myers. Two daughters were born, Mary Louise who m Wesley P.

One of the granddaughters 1·ecalls hearing her grandmother (Julia Ann) tell of losing two children when they were crossing the plains coming to California. Chloe Terry Doyle, a cousin of Julia Ann Caldwell, was one of the mem­ bers of the pa1-ty that crossed the plains in 1852 in covered wagons. Chloe kept a diary of the day to day happenings and it was from this little old book that Archie Binns nearly a half century later wrote his story of the settlement of the west entitled, "The Land is Bright". The "Saga of the Tuolumne" by Buckbee, has a story of the gold found by Tarlton Caldwell while he was digging a garden near his home. This house was for years a show place of the early days. Rachel Vroomann, a sister of Julia Ann, was among the emigrants who came to California in 1852. Some of the family went further north and became pioneers in the settlement of Washington and Oregon. 170311. ABNER LEANDER CALDWELL, b Jan. 13, 1838. 1703b.

He was educated at Washbum College, Topeka, Kansas, Harvard College, and Oxford, England. He p1·epared fo1· the ministry and became pastor of one of the large churches in Baltimore, Md. He attended Washburn College from 1884 to 1887. Entered 298 THE VROOMAN FAMILY newspaper work and was with the Record and World, N. Y., from 1890 to 1893. Became secretary of the Civic Federation of St. Louis, Mo., in 1896. Founded the society for Parks and Playgrounds for children of N. Y. OrganiLed Ruskin Hall in Oxford. "Who's Who in America" 1903-1905, calls him an "Imperialistic Socialist", with residence at Trenton, Mo. Walter Watkins Vrooman was much interested in socio­ logical, religious and educational questions. He made a sur­ vey of 337 existing national and municipal undertakings in 100 principal countries of the world. His book was published in 1895 by the Patriotic Pub. Co., Baltimore. An announce­ ment states: "Rev. Walter Vrooman's Sermons, delivered weekly before the largest congregations of Baltimore are all published by the Pat. Lit Co., 5¢ each." The Ruskin Hall movement started by Walter Vrooman at Oxford, England, spread quickly to the United States. A discussion of this movement is found in the Fortnightly Review for Jan.-June, 1900, Vol. 73, 163-167; 325-335. The oratorical ability of Walter Vrooman, his keen intel­ lect, and his intense faith in his cause, caused the Ruskin idea to grow. At Trenton, Mo. he started the Ruskin College which became the Oxford Movement in America. He pur­ chased 1500 acres of land for that purpose. (Arena, July­ Dec. 1901). L. T. Dodd and J. A. Dale say: "Mr. Walter Vrooman and his assistant have won their spurs in social science". Some of Walter Vrooman's terse sentences are worth noting: "We do not come to Oxford as Pilgrims to a shrine. We come 1·ather as Paul went to Rome, to conquer in a battle of ideas". "The best of the prophets of the future is the past". "Good fare, but no flavors". "Whatever is, can be improved". "At Ruskin Hall. we have no servants because we are all servants". "The hands that carry fo1·ward the banner of progress must be ruder and readier, but the scholar's hand must hold the lantern that should make the way clearer". "Educated ignorance is as rife and as harmful as illiterate ignorance". This brilliant young man, Walter Watkins Vrooman, THE VROOMAN FAMILY 299 died in 1905, while only 36 years of age. His brother, Frank, told the writer that being kicked by a horse was the cause of death. 1921. HIRAM8 VROOMAN, Jr. (1194 Hiram1-540 John A.0), b March 1, 1871 at Macon, Mo.

VROOMAN FAMILY BIBLE The Dutch Bible of the Vrooman Family was printed in 1618. It was brought from Holland to America in 1657 by Peter Meese V1·ooman. It was given by Peter to his son, Adam who passed it on to his descendants. It now rests in the Old Fort Museum at Schoharie, New York. The Bible is a heavy, substantial book, 14¼ x 10 inches in size, bound in sturdy leather that has lasted over 330 years. It is one of the most famous volumes in the museum. INDIAN DEED An Indian deed of gift from King Hendrick to Adam Vrooman. Executed in 1711. (Buffalo Courier). An Indian deed of gift of land in Schoharie valley, dated Schenectady, August 22, 1711, and a map, (in ink) of the land, showing its boundaries, etc., will be sold at Anderson's in New York on next Thursday. This interesting document reads: "To all whom these presents shall come, Sennonequieson, Cannquothon Hendrick the Indian, Kawnawahdea, Sagon­ aditah, Tucktahraessoo, Onnadahsea, Kahentevunkqua Amos the Indian, Jacob the Indian, Sonne Wannah-Onidjeah, Lewcas the Indian, Jonias the Indian, Fuquau-in-hunt and Esras the Indian. All owners and proprietors of a certain piece of land, situate lying and being in the bounds of land called Skokene, bounded by the land sur1·endered and con­ veyed by his Excellency Robert Hunter, Esq., now Captain General and Governour in Chiefe, for the use of her most Sacred Majesty Queene Anne of Great Britain, it being part of the land we reserved for our own use near the hill, called Onitstahai·garawe, of which 1·eserve we, above named, give ten hundred and sixty acres of the flatte or plain mea­ dow-land and sixty acres of the wood land. We for ourselves, and at the desire of all other Indians send greetings. Now know ye in consideration of the love, favor and affection, which we and they have and bear to our loving acquaintance Adam Vrooman, Esq., of the Town of Schenectady in the Province of New York,yoeman, have freely given, granted and forever quit claim to the said Adam Vrooman, all our rights and interests to the above mentioned ten hundred and sixty acres of land out of the land we reserved or kept for our own use as aforesaid, together with all trees, timber THE VROOMAN F'AMILY 809 and fine wood in any wise belonging, to have and to hold the said piece or trace of land and othe1· the premises unto Adam Vrooman, his heirs and to the sole and only use, benefit and behoofe of him, the said Adam Vrooman, his heirs and assigns forever. In testimony thereof, the three races of the Marquose the Turtle, Wolf and Bear, being present, have hereunto set our marks and seal in the Town of Schenectady aforesaid, this two and twentieth day of August and in the tenth year of her majesties reign Anno Domini 1711. The land deeded was on the Schoharie river, near where Romer in 1700 marked the "First Castle of the Mohaques". Hendrick the Indian, was a noted Mohawk chief. He was killed in Sir William Johnson's expedition against Baron Dieskau in 1715. Adam Vrooman was a lieutenant of the militia of Schenectady. His life was spared by order of the French at the burning of Schenectady, because of his brav­ ery in defending his house and family against the French and Indians. The deed is signed with the totem marks of the tribes".
