N EB E K E R 2 IN T R O DU C T I O N In late 2008, while preparing to go with my wife on a mission to Mozambique Africa, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I turned to family history to fill some of my spare time, as I’d often done in the past. However, this time I delved into my own genealogy rather than my wife’s. You see, I’d previously worked only on her lines because there were few others researching them and it was easy to find a starting point. On the other hand, much had been done on my lines, so it was more difficult to find a place to begin. One day, while examining my pedigree chart, I noticed my Van Wagner line had no information beyond my third great grandfather, Halmagh John Van Wagner. I was shocked! I’d understood that line had been researched back to the immigrant ancestor, but if it had, I didn’t have a record of it. -

The Nicholas Gesner Diary
The nicholas gesner Diary Volume 1 1829-1834 Transcribed and edited by Alice Gerard © Alice Gerard, 2015 PO Box 225 Palisades NY 10964 ISBN 978-0-9743865-1-5 forewOrd This book is dedicated to my mother Alice Haagensen, with many thanks to everyone who helped with her gargantuan effort to transcribe theNicholas Gesner Diary. The publication of the book was made possible by the work done between 1958 and 2000 by Alice Haagensen and the many friends and relatives she per- suaded to help her decipher Nicholas Gesner’s crabbed handwriting. They had actually transcribed the first 400 pages, some typed and more handwritten, although none of it was on the computer. Among them were Caroline Tapley, Tina Kister, Mildred Rippey, Judy Friedlander, and myself; there may have been others. Other people helped. Piermont Librarian Grace Mitchell assisted me in researching the history of Pier- mont. Marianne Leese of the Rockland County Historical Society provided me with maps. I relied heavily on the publications of Winthrop Gilman and Reginald McMahon for information about the people who lived in Nicholas’s neighborhood during the time he kept the diary. Herb Kellogg, who lived in the dwelling that Nicholas built in 1793, showed me over the house so I could get an idea about the living spaces. Formatting the diary was a complicated process. Alice Haagensen had hoped to publish it with a graphic of each one of Nicholas’s pages opposite each transcription. This would have required a series of 8 volumes, 400 pages each, so I abandoned the idea. -
Remarks on the History of Hudson County in Relation to Old Bergen Church and Its Community
Remarks on the History of Hudson County in Relation to Old Bergen Church and its Community Presented by Bob Murgittroyd (historian) during the program “Slice of History”(part of Old Bergen Church’s 350 th Anniversary celebration) on May 14, 2010 at the Brennan Courthouse, Jersey City, NJ Settlement of Bergen Tonight’s alloted time does not permit a lengthy re-telling of the history of our area but I have been asked to offer glimpses of the history of Hudson County during the 350 years of its existence. Today it is hard to imagine Hudson County as the edge of the American frontier, but from the time Henry Hudson sailed into the New York Bay in 1609 until the founding of the Town of Bergen in 1660, that is exactly what is was. During those 51 years settlers to the area experienced both the rewards and perils of living in a wildness area filled with rich natural resources and a native people whose cultural would often clash with their own. Almost immediately upon Hudson’s return to the Netherlands the prosperous merchants who had financed his voyage of discovery sought to exploit their investment in the area then named New Amsterdam. One commodity found by Hudson’s travels seemed to offer the best chance for immediate financial reward, the pelts of American beaver which were then so highly prized in Europe. For the next twelve years parties of men were sent to the area to establish small trading posts to barter with the natives for the valuable beaver skins. -

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