THIS RECORD IS RESPECTFULLY
SUBMITTED
HOPING OMISSIONS MAY BE SUPPLIED AND MISTAKES RECTIFIED
CHANGE OF CALENDAR
In some dates there may be found a discrepancy of eleven days. This is due to the 0. S. (old style) and N. S. (new style) of calendar. Many would not accept the new style for a long time, not wishing to be cheated out of that number of days, and some recorded both ways at times.
THE SYSTEM
Every person in the book has his or her individual number, which first appears in small figures on the side. When they have issue there is a + mark and later on their number appears in bold type at the head of a section. Thus Abraham, No. 10, page 39, is carried out under No.- IO, page 58. His descendants may be traced down from number t:> number in the same way. To trace backward, take for example Henry Floyd Van Wyck, Jr., No. 1894, page 342. His father's individual number, as we see from the heading is No. 1394. We find this in small type on page 272, where you will find him the son of No. 841, which appears in small type on page 200. This shows him to be the son of No. 371. THE TULIP The National Flower of Holland
The first Tulip came to Holland from Constantinople, 1560. It was so much admired the rich people of Amsterdam sent to Turkey for more. From that time they grew to be a rage, and the Tulip mania ran so high that fortunes were made and lost by it. The Tulip bed was the pride of the Dutch Dame. No home in Holland and no garden was complete without the Tulip. A large bed of these gorgeous colors, ,vas next to the house in the garden at West Neck. Although the flowers were pretty, I did not know the history attached to them. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

PROLOGUE
The family oracles had passed away, and I awoke to the fact that I had no one to refer to regarding the past, and none for the children of future generations. "\Yith this in mind I remembered· "the Queens County Antiquarian," a citizen of our village whose ancestors had grown up with our fathers and grandfathers. To him I referred, and in his cheerful happy way he asked me, "What will you have?" This meant much for me, and I replied, "Anything that you will give me." The following day, much to my surprise, he brought me the record of marriages and baptisms of the early Van Wycks from the Reformed Dutch Church of Jamaica, Long Island, (a town in which I had lived from my earliest childhood). This opened up the chronology be fore us, and to the assistance of Henry Onderdonk, Jr., we are indebted (as well as many others of our county) for his researcheR. Following the above, our friend and kinsman, :Morris Patterson Ferris, passing through the churchyard at Fishkill and reading the obituaries of his ancestors, con ceived the idea of writing their genealogy. Needless to say we met, our object was the same. With the kind assistance of Tunis G. Bergen, of Benjamin D. Hicks, and of Judge Anthony Van "\Yyck, also of Theodorus Yan "\Yyck Brinckerhoff and his estimable sister, Mrs. Theodorus J. Van Wyck, who had earlier preserved the Holland Bible with its family record, I found a register of the genealogy of them 8 PROLOGUE which came up from the first, and found written therein " Nehemiah, VII Chap. 5 verse." Other cousins, who have not recognized the gather ing around the old Tree, will find their bough waiting for them, for all the Van Wycks of the early emigration are descendants of Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck and .A.nna Polhemus, and we take them all in. 1,Ve have the name, coat-of-arms, and Wyck bei Dourstede with its old castle for our inheritance. .A.NNE VAN WYOK. INTRODUCTION
Before beginning our genealogy, let us make the acquaint ance of John Lothrop Motley, our friend the historian, and i;o with him farther back, even to the Fatherland : "You will find on the map, between France, Germany and the sea, a small triangle divided into two equal parts, called the Netherlands, Holland or Hollowland, and Belgium. Geograph ically they belong to both France and Germany. The deposits of three great rivers have formed this Delta thus made habitable for man, which the Romans described as not knowing if they were tenants of sea or land. After the lapse of ages the Rhine divides itself in two branches, like horns and holds within itself the triangular island of Batavia, the key to the whole country. It has never been ascertained who the original inhabitants were; Julius Caesar when he went to fight the barbarians of the North, found a territory on the left of the Rhine tenanted by a tribe of the Celtic family, they were a superior race and the bravest of all the Celts. The earliest history of the Netherlands was written by the conqueror. On the approach of Caesar the tribe scattered, lega tions of peace were the consequence. The German race, and the Batavian among the rest, formed an honorable alliance with the masters of the world. They were never conquered but were ever spoken of by the Romans with respect. They called the Batavians friends. The Batavian cavalry was famous throughout the Republic and the Empire ; they were the favorite troops of Caesar, and from his death the Batavian Legion was the imperial body guard. Their position was always an honor able one. 1 NTRODUCT I ON
Beyond the Batavians at the North dwelt the Frisians of which the Netherland people have ever been compounded; dis similar in their tendencies, they have not stimulated the affini ties which existed and which should have been infused into the whole. The Frisians and the old Batavians are melted into one. Free Frisian whose name is synonymous with Liberty, blood relations of the Anglo-Saxon race, now occupy the north ern portion including the whole European territory of the Dutch Republic. In the 13th century a great physical convulsion sunk the Lowlands beneath the waves, the German Ocean rolled in, and the stormy Zuyder Zee began its existence. West Friesland became absorbed in Holland and a dangerous sea separated them from their relatives. Christianity had been planted there when Dagobert took pos session of Utrecht and founded the first Christian Church. To ·. the Britons they owe their conversion. Willibord, an Anglo Saxon monk, built churches in north Holland. He was soon afterward consecrated bishop. They refused the Papal yoke or the Feudal chain. After a lapse of centuries the Nether landers were again under a crown imperial. They had been united under Rome, now under Charlemagne. The crown ap pointed functionaries, held the military and judicial offices, but the people were free to govern by their own laws. Each of the several little nates regulated their own affairs. Local customs were respected by Charlemagne as a principal. He left them their name, "Free Frisians," and the ~roprietorship in their own land. The Feudal System never took root in their soil; what ever the nominal sovereignty over them, this most republican tribe of the Netherlands never accepted Feudalism. The Frisian says, "the statute book shall be free as long as the wind blows out of the clouds a_nd the world stands." After the death of Charlemagne, the Netherlands passed out of France into Germany and their petty sovereigns became 1NTRODUC1'10N 11
hereditary A. D. 922. Charles the Simple presented Holland to Dirck I and his descendants by letters patent. At this epoch follows Counts, Dukes, Earls, Marquises, etc. In 1217 their Magna Charta was created and these countries entered upon new life. Holland, Zealand, Utrecht, Overyssel, Groningen, Drenthe, and Friesland were afterwards to constitute the United States of Netherlands, one of the most powerful Republics in history. Her co.mmerce girded the globe, and with commerce came new life, new charters, new lioerties to partici pate in the general government, with right of sending deputies and choosing their own burgomasters. In the meantime the counts of Holland and the bishops of Utrecht wtre to exercise divided sway over the country. From this hand-breadth of territory rises the Province of Holland, which after years of warfare becomes itself a mighty State. A people of untiring industry, unexampled prosperity, peaceful in their pursuits, a love of liberty, with an instinct for self-government. The most prosperous and perhaps the most intelligent under the sun. Their industry, ·wealth, agriculture, commerce, and manufactories were constantly augmented. Their fisheries were enormous, a nursery for seaman, who were the militia of the ocean. Their navigators were the boldest-a race of cool and daring mariners which made the Dutch illustrious throughout the world. Their merchants the most enterprising; a great naval and commercial commonwealth occupying but a small portion of Europe, but conquering a wide empire by the private enterprise of her trading companies. Girding the world with its innumerable dependencies in America, Asia, Africa, and Australia, exercising authority in Brazil, Guiana, and Hindoo stan, surely the ocea1t is her main strength. Nor was their education far behind, for their Universities, Libraries, Architecture, Paintings, Oassical ~Iusic, and the Lan guages gave a standard of culture not confined to the higher classes but diffused among artisans and craftsmen. 12 INTRODUCTION
In May, 1623, the ship N cw N cthcrla11ds, Captain May com manding, landed the first emigrants where the Battery now stands. One hundred and ten men, women, and children, most ly Walloons, Protestant refugees, came to make America their home. You will mark there were none very poor among them, and this is true in future ages, there are none very poor among them. Emigration succeed~d emigration and our own ancestors followed among others.
THE. TOWN Wijck is a small town in the Province of North Brabant in Holland or the Low countries. It is situated on one of the branches of the Rhine about 17 miles below Amheim. It is quite picturesque, has a heavy dike on the side next to the Rhine and on the land side massive walls and three gates with a huge wind-mill over eat:h. There is a handsome old church in the place and the remains of a castle. This was an old set tlement of the Batavi, know in Roman days as "Vicus," whence the name of the town and the family name. All the branches of the Van Wyck family originated at the town of Wyk Dourstede, (Wyck, Wyke, Vanderwyck, and Van Wyck) and were all descendants of Hendrick, Cavalier, who lived about 1400. It is declared and confirmed by oath, "that as far as memory goes the Van Wycks have belonged to an ancient and noble family and have always been respected as such." On the list of the Knights of the Meder-Betune the name frequently oc curs. We find Alger, nobleman in the year u62, Codefindus 1208, and Walraum 1303. One Zeger had a son Hendrick who married Hillegonda van Lienden. This Hendrick had a son Jan van Wyck. They were all Catholics until Jan married Wynanda van Asch who was a Protestant. She had a brother who died without descendants and who instituted his sister his JAN V.-\N l,YCI-:

The Van Asch arms has a gold wheel on a blue escut cheon making the center of the Van Wyck arms which had the escutcheon divided into four parts by a cross. Jan van Wyck died and was buried with his wife in the Chapel of the Van Asch family, at St. Peter's, in Utrecht. A fine portrait of his mot~er Hildegarde van Lienden van Wyck is among the collection of family paintings. Wynanda van .\ sch van Wyck was the mother of many children, all of whom died without heirs, excepting one Jacob van Asch van Wyck. From this Jacob of old, the whole Protestant branch of Vc.n Wycks descend. Jacob van Asch van Wyck was born at Utrecht, and died on the estate. He married Anna Van Rynevelt. In 1642, he· received at the castle at Dourstede the Queen of England, Henrietta Marie de Bourbon, wife of Charles I, ac companied by her daughter, Princess Henrietta Maria and her son-in-law William II Prince of Orange. The descendants of Wynanda van Asch were not called reg ularly Van Asch until the second generation, and it is possible that those who left their country may have called them::elves Van Wyck instead of the longer name, Van Asch Van Wye!:.
CORRF .SPONDE.NCE. The interest in Holland for the cousins in America has never been lost. Earlier generations knew of each other, and later ones had an interest to know, as we learn from a letter written some years since by Judge Anthony Van Asch Van \,Vyck of Utrecht, Holland, and addressed to Charles Van Wyck of the Christian Iutc[ligc11cer, New York, and which was published in that paper, inviting a Van Wyck in America to reply thereto. Mr. Theodorus V. W. Brinckerhoff of Fishkill, Dutchess Co., N. INTRODUCTION
Y., answered it in behalf of the Van Wycks, a portion of whose letter is here quoted: "DEAR SIR: My attention has been called to a letter written by yourself to a gentleman of the Van Wycli family in America asking for any information respecting our early history. I am informed that you are intending soon to publish in Holland a history of the family. I am glad to learn of your purpose, glad to extend to you the hand of fellowship across the wide ocean, and wider far than the ocean, an interval of nearly two hundred years, Glad, I say, if I can aid in bridging this gulf, that brethren of the same family may everywhere realize that they are kinsmen. Holland is the fatherland of us all, and there is more of the blood of Holland here in America than Holland has within her borders. There is more interest felt here in America in the past history of Holland, and every thing connected with her prosperity, by American families of Holland origin, than our cousins at home dream of. With this letter I send you as much of an outline of the family ·as I can give at present." * * * * * * * Again he adds : "There is one thing however that the Van Wycks in Holland may be assured of, that is, that the Van Wycks in America arc wedded to their family name with undying veneration and af fection. With them the name is associated with good, true, manly, and virtuous qualities which have been transmitted through generations of sons and daughters, making them honored and respected in this new Fatherland of their pride and choice. That this mantle may be as worthily borne in future, as it has been in the past, both in Holland as in America is the prayer of one who signs himself, from his mother's name, THEODOEUS VAN WYCK BRINCKERHOFF." This letter was answered and family photographs exchanged with considerations of respect and esteem for the cousins across the water. At different periods Van Wycks from Holland have visited America, and always with "regards to the Van Wycks at Rus- INTRODUCTION 15 dorp" (Jamaica), which in early days was the county town of Long Island. As late as 1870, a surgeon by the name of Van Wyck from Holland was in New York City at the St. Nicholas Society, and sent by its Chaplain, the Rev. William L. Johnson, his regards to the Van Wycks at Jamaica, telling him at the same time that he had intended to visit Long Island, but the vessel leaving next day would prevent his so doing. Judge Anthony Van Wyck, formerly of Wisconsin, spent much time in Holland in 1847 and spoke of his hearty welcome there, after he had established his claim to the name. Frank P. Van Wyck, of Chicago, writes: "While recently in Holland I had a very pleasant visit with the Van Wyck family of Utrecht. Judge Van Wyck took much interest in the genealogy of the name and was a subscriber for many years to the Christian lntcllige11cer of New York. He died Dec., 1874. His son Anthony is also interested in your work, and will assist you to perfect the Holland link." In a letter of June 3, 1878, from Zeist, Holland, Anthony T. M. Van Asch Van Wyck, after assurance of interest for the family in America, adds: "The three brothers, Cornelius Ba rentse, Abraham, and Anthony, were probably the sons of Jacob Van Asch Van Wyck, Counsellor and Receiver General of Utrecht, and of Anna Van Rynevelt, also of Utrecht. This Jacob had three sons who are totally unknown here." In later years even, several visits have been exchanged be tween the Ho11and and American cousins. In 1905 Judge and Mrs. Augustus Van Wyck, of Brooklyn, were entertained at Utrecht by Count Jacob Van Asch Van Wyck. Since then his son, Baron Matthias Margretius Van Asch Van Wyck, while sojourning in America, visited Mrs. Theodorus Van Wyck at Fishkill and also the family at West Neck, Long Island, where he was accom panied by William, son of Judge Augustus Van Wyck. In 1909 Edward W. Van Wyck, of West Neck, visited Mat thias M. V. A. Van Wyck in Amsterdam, and was also the guest 16 INTRODUCTION
of Count Jacob Van Wyck at Utrecht. Upon leaving, he was presented with the genealogy of the Holland family. In 1910 announcement of the birth of a daughter of Matthias V. A. Van Wyck was received. At a Reception given to the Holland Dames of America by Mrs. Oliver Livingston Jones, of New York, in 1907, the Baroness Van Haeften, Maid of Honor to the Queen of Hol land, was present. During the introductions she recognized the name of Van Wyck as of the noble family in Holland. In 1910 Mr. and Mrs. Myron A. Lockman visited St. Peter's Church at Utrecht. On the left a large colored coat of arms of the Van Wyck family is on the wall surrounded by 32 quar terings. On the opposite side is that of the Van Asch family.
Janvier, 1878. MONSIEUR VAN WYCK, Cher 111011sic11r: Ayant entendu parler a differentcs epoques de l'interet qui existe en Hollandc pour !es frercs d'Ameriques j'ai entrepris d'ecrire une genealogie de la famille Van Wyck etablie dans le Nouveau Mende. ]'ignore si la generation presente peut placer avec exactitude !es trois frc~res Cornelius Barcntse, Abraham, ct Anthony dans leur genealogic, mais si Jes registres sont completes ils sont cer tainment le droit d'y occuperer une place. Les descendants des Van vVyck en Holbnde ont dcux fois pendant une visite a New York fait faire leurs amities aux Van Wyck de Rusdorp qui est L'ancien nom de Jamaiquc, ct !cur demeurc dependant bien des annees. L'Eglise Hollandaise clans laquelle ils faissaient leurs devotions conserve encore !es archives de la famille jusqu'au 1742. En 1715 Theodore et Jean signcnt avec d'autres pasteurs un appel au ministere pour L'Eglise de Jamaique en !cur qualite de maitres des Classis de l'Eglise a Amsterdam en Hollande. Ayant ignore cc fait jusqu'a presente je n'ai apprccie a sa juste valeur !es amities que chaque fois m'etaient transmises par n6tre cidevant Recteur le Rev. William L. Johnson, Jamaique, Chapelaine de la Societe de St. Nicholas de New York. INTRODUCTION 17 En 166o nous trouvons notre ancctre Cornelius Barentse a Flatbush de meme qu' Abraham et Anthony dont !es mariages sont inscrits dans !es registres de l'Eglise. Cette date est la plus ancienne que nous n'avons ancient document qui parle de !cur origine Peut-etre quelqu'un en Hollande le sait-il par tradi tion Cornelius Barentse epousa Anna Polhemus fille de Dominic Thedore J can Polhemus ii eut deux fils Theodore et Jean Theodore epousa Margretia Brinckerhoff et eut quatre fils et deux filles tous nes ct maries dans Long Island (L'Ile Longue) ils s'appelaient Cors, Theodore, Abraham, Barent, Susanna et Aeltie, Cornelius et Theodore s'etablirent a Fishkill, Dutchess Co., et Abraham s'etablit a New York, Barent qui epousa Hannah Carman fut mon ancetre et eut quatre fits et trois filles Thomas, Theodore Samuel et Abraham. Le fils de Samuel, Abraham et la fille de Capitaine Abraham, Zeruah sont mes grands-parents etant !es enfants de deux freres. Ils eurent quatre fils et trois filles Samuel A. Joshua (mon pere) Abraham et William. Joshua epousa Sara Marie Hewlett. Ils eurent quatre enfants Anne celle qui vous ecrit Marie Jeanne et Whitehead tout etablis a Long Island. Jusqu'a presente je n'ai pft decouvrir aucun des descend ants d'Abraham et d'Anthony, freres de Cors. Barentse Peut etre sont ils retournes dans leur patrie c'est ce qui nous reste a apprendre Le Juge Anthony Van Wyck nous a donne une carte des Van Wyck d'Utrecht en Ho\lande auxquels le Juge fit une visite ii y a quelques annees. Nous y trouvons un Jean Van Wyck marie a Wynanda Van Asch en 1575 et leur fits Jacob Van Asch Van Wyck epousa Anna Van Rynevelt et eut trois enfants dont on ne sait rien, mais ii est possible que ce sont eux qui emigrercnt en Amerique. Abraham et An thony paraissent etre d'anciens noms de la famille qui se trouve parmi vous. Le nom de Cornelius rencontrant plus tard. ]'ccris ceci tel que nous le possedons, et je pense que si vous ignorez ces cletail~, ils pourront vous mettre sur !es traces des autres membres de la famille qui se trouve parmi vous. II y a quelques scmaines j'ai visites !cs tombeaux de nos premiers ancetres ila reposent sur une belle colline a la tete de la Baie appelce Great Neck (Le Grand Cou) L'ancienne maison batie par Theodore le premier des Van Wyck nes en Amerique est 18 IN1'RODUCTJON tres bien conscrvee et toute la contree environnante m'est bien connue quoique j'ai ignore de quel interet son histoire etait pour moi jusqu'a ce que des investigations recentes m'ont prouve que Long Island est vraiment le berceau des Van Wyck en Ameriquc. Tous les interets primitifs que s'y attachent y ayant en lieu c'est la qu'ils se sont maries et c'est la qu'ils se reposcnt de !curs travaux. C'est aussi de la qu'une voix venant de la Septieme generation vous arrivera au commence ment de cette nouvelle annee 1878 plus de deux cents ans de puis qu'ils quitterent leur patrie. J'envoie ces lignes aux parents de Hollande esperant que la Providence !es guidera jusqu'a leur destination. Vous pouvez imaginer qucl plaisir j'eprouverais a avoir des nouvelles de ces parents d'outre mer et d'apprendre l'histoire primitive de ceux dont nous portons le nom clans le Nouveau Monde. Que notre nom et notre ancetre soient le gage de l'interet que nous leur portons et que cette interet soit re ciproque est le voeu sincere et )'assurance de respecte de. ANNE VAN WYcK, Jamaique (Rusdorp), L. I. The following communication came in response to this letter: Zeist, le 3 Juin, 1878. MA CHERE MADEMOISELLE: Par intermediare de l'ambassadeur americain a la Hague, j'ai rec;u votre appcl aux parente d'outre mer et plus lard je recevais vos lcttres du 8 Avril et du i Mai. De differentes circonstances m'empechaient de vous repondre plustot pourtant je peux vous donner !'assurance de mon interet pour !es mcm brcs de la famille Van Wyck in Amerique et quc la cause de mon longue retard a vous repondre ne provient d'indifferencc mais de circonstances hors de moi. J'ai l'honneur de connaitre deux membres de la famille americaine Monsieur T. Van Wyck Brinckerhoff de Fishkill et Monsieur Frank Purdy Van Wyck de Chicago l'un seulement par correspondence l'autre par cor respondence et une visite en Hollande ii y a environ trois ans. Les trois frercs Cors. Barentse, Abraham, et Anthony sont probablcmcnt les fils de M. Jacob Van Asch Van Wyck, Consciller et Reccvcur General d'Utrccht et de Anna Van Ryne velt. Ce Jacob avait trois fils totalement inconnu. INTRODUCTION 19 La famille Van Asch Van Wyck en Hollande descende de Wynanda Van Asch Elle avait un frere qui decedait sans de scendants et qui institua sa soeur comme sa seule heritiere a condition, que ses descendants ajouteriaient le nom de Van Asch a celui de Van Wyck et !es armes de la famille Van Asch comme surtout·a celles de Van Wyck. Les armes de Van Asch sont de l'azur avec une roue a huit leviers en or Le fait que ces armes se trouvent 'aussi aux armes de Cors Barentse Van Wyck fortifie mes soup1;ons que la famille en Amerique descend de ce Jacob Van Asch Van Wyck le vieux. II me parait par differentes documents que !es fits de Wynanda Van Asch ne se nommaient pas encore regulierement Van Asch Van W'yck mais tout simplement Van Wyck et qu'on se nommait comme c;a premierement en second generation. J'ai l'intime conviction que la famille Van Wyck en Amerique et la famille Van Asch Van Wyck en Hollande ont le meme premier pere. Les noms Abraham, Anthony, et Cornelis ne sont pas d'an ciens noms de famille J e les trouve premierement deux genera tions plus tard. La famille Barents m'est totalement inconnu ii existe ici un ouvrage mensuel genealogique et j'en ai mis une question a raport de cette famille Si j'en sais quelque chose je le vous communiquerai. Mon grand pere etait le seule Van Asch Van Wyck ams1 que son pere ct son grand pere De toutes !es autres branches ii n'y a pas de descendants Mon grand pere avait quatre fits deux vivent encore ii y a maintenant sans les deux oncles et !cs filles onze jeune Van Asch Van Wycks dont moi j'en suis un. J'ai tache de vous communiquer tout ce que je sais, Je ne vous donne pas beaucoup de renseigenments mais j'espere que j'aurai !'occasion de vous produire en quelque temps quelque chose de plus Si vous desirez avoir une genealogie de la famille comme moi j'en ai unc J'en ferai un extrait et la traduirai Peut-etre vous en aurez quelque chose pour votre projet. En vous assurant de mes sinceres sentiments d'interet et de respect, j'ai l'honneur de me nommer votre devoue Cousin, ANTHONY T. M. VAN ASCH VAN WYCK. 20 INTRODUCTION
Je trouvais dans un de nos joumaux ce qui suit "Le 19 octobre eut celebre a New Utrecht un petil1 village de deux cent cinquante habitants situe a .Long Island le second Jubile de la fondation du premier Dutch Reformed Church New Utrecht est une des plus vielles colonies de New York En 1637 vingt families hollandaises .s'etablissent la et leur descend ants a moins quelques uns y demeurent encore ii se trouvent la encore quelques maisons de paysan de ce temps recule."

A description of the Coat of Arms, taken from the N edcr la11ds Adelsbock: Wapen in zwart een gouden kruis, in elk kwartier vergzeld van twee zilveren distelbloemen, elk groen gesteeld met vier goene bladeren, beide stelen schuin gekruist (Van Wyck).

CHURCH FRIENDSHIP ANCIENT AND LoNG CONTINUED FRIENDSHIP OF THE ENGLISH AND DUTCH CHURCHES, A letter from Dominie Selyns, Oct. 28th, 1682, says: "We and the English inhabitants use the same church." Again in 16¢, he says, "For the two English churches in this city, there are two English clergy who preach after my morning and even ing services, and live with us in all friendship." The Rev. Wm. Vesey, Rector of Trinity Church, was in ducted in office 1697, in the Dutch Church, Garden St., and con tinued the Episcopal service there until the building of Trinity Church was completed. In 1779, when the Dutch Church was required for a hos pital for His Majesty's troops, the Corporation of Trinity Church offered St. George's· Chapel for their service, which offer the Dutch Church accepted. These instances of Christian kindness show the ancient and long continued friendship existing between the English and Dutch Churches, who have always considered the interests of the two inseparable."-Ycar Book, 1881, Ref. D11tch Ch. · The conque~t of the colony by the English and the conse quent change of language has been a barrier to much direct information, from corrcsponclcncc, and other old Dutch writ ings falling into disuse. Barrels filled with these old Dutch papers, after having been kept for years, and which would now prove a treasure, have already been committed to the flames. That there were three Van Wyck Hollanders in America and on Long- Island at the early settlement of the country is known by the Record of the Dutch Reformed Church at Flat bush. From it we have the marriage of Abraham Van Wyck to Janetje --, Sept. 2, 1676, and one Anthoni Van der Wyck has a child, Janetie, baptized April 26, 1667, for which Abra ham and Janetje stand sponsors. Other than that we have no CHURCH FRIEN:DSHIP 25 record of these two or their descendants. They may have re turned home, or more probably, have gone elsewhere. To the same Dutch Reformed Church at Flatbush we are in debted for the earliest record of our ancestor, from whom all the Van Wycks in America descend. Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck, from whom all the Van Wycks in America descend, was born in Holland, and emigrated to this country, A. D. 166o. He settled at Midwout, now Flat bush, on the west end. of Long Island, and was one of the patentees of that tract of land. His name appears on the tax list as early as 1664 when he bought 100 acres of land for £240.00 on the east side of the land of Johannes Christofel. The farm of 100 acres at Flatbush which belonged to the ancestor Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck has been located by Walter (Jeffrey) Van Wyck as follows: About 1,000 feet south of the old Dutch Church and run ning to the old Coney Island Road, Avenue A, now called Albe marle Road, runs through the centre of it. In 1668 he is allotted meadows in Canarsie, and a portion in the division of lands in the new lots of Flatbush. In 1675 he is chosen constable of Flatbush and his name ap pears among the voters at Town Meetings, 1703 and 1704. In 1687 he takes his oath of allegiance to William, Prince of Orange, on Sept. 26th, 1687, in the third year of His Ma jesty's reign, in Kings Co., Province of New York, he having been twenty-seven years in this country. In 17o6 he subscribes toward paying the expenses incurred in defending the town patent against encroachments. In 1712 we have also his signature from the Flatbush records as witness to a writing in 1712. In 1654 among the early settlers was Dominie Theodorus Johannes Polhemus. He was minister at Meppel, Province of Drenthe, Holland, and in 1637 went as such to Brazil, under the auspices of the West India Co. When the Dutch evacuated Brazil he came from thence with his wife, Katharine Van Wer ven, to New Amsterdam, and accepted a call from Flatbush, 3 26 CHURCH FRIENDSHIP where he settled, he being the first clergyman on Long Island. He diedl July 9th, 1676; his widow survived him many years.• To Anna Polhemus, daughter of this Hollander, Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck was married, In 1667 the names of Cornelius Barents·e Van Wyck and Anna appear on the list of members of the Reformed Dutch Church in Flatbush, and during the successive administration of Rev. Caspar Van Zeuren. "'Rev. Theodorus Johannes Polhemus and Katherine van Wcrven were the parents of: Theodorus, m. Aertie Bogart, Oct. 14, 1677; d. 1722. Daniel, m. Cornelia Vanderveer. Elizabeth, m.

PRATTENBURG Near Rhenen, in the Province of Utrecht, stands "Pratten burg," which since 1694 has been the seat of the Van Asch Van Wyck family (Holland branch). The castle with its surroundings grounds cover an area of some six hundred hectares ( 1483 acres). In this house hang the priceless portraits referred to in the Nederland's Adelsbock, 1909, which date back to about 16oo, and are of great value and interest. That of Zeger Van Asch Van Wyck is by the famous Van Dyck and that of Jan Van Asch Van Wyck, Knight and Baron of Prattenburg, and his wife are by Poelenburg. Both portraits are of great value. Through the kindness of James R. Van Wyck we give a picture of Prattenburg; sent to him by Jkvr. Jollanna Josina Kenau Van Asch Van Wyck, a sister of the present owner, Jh1. Lodewyk Henrick Johan Mari Van Asch Van Wyck. The Van Asch Van Wycks of Holland are also Lords of Prattenburg. By the Treaty of Peace in 1719 the Emperor of Austria conceded to the male descendants of Mr. Anthony Van Asch Van Wyck the honorable function of Director General of all the posts in the ten Austrian Provinces. In consequence of repeated wars, the Emperor has trans ferred this honor to the Duke of Barenburg and others of his own nobility. The original document is in the possession of the family. The old castle was rebuilt in 1887, and in 1908 an extension was added. Genealogy of the Van Wyck Family CORNELIUS BARENTSE VAN WYCK l CORNELIUS HARENl'SE' VAN WvcK m. Anna Polhemus.

July 9, 1682. +7 Elizabeth, bap. Jan. 16, 1685. (Sec page 422). +8 Adriantje, bap. Sept. 9, 1688. (See page 422). Sept. 9, 1688, Theodorus and Maria (his sister) Van Wyck were witnesses at baptism of Adriantje, daughter of Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck, in Flat bush. This is their youngest child. Oct. 15, 17o6, the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth, as born and living in Flatbush, and the marriage of his daughter Adriantje, as born and living in Flatbush, on May 12, 1712, is attested to by Victor Antonides, the Pastor, so that it is most probable Flatbush was the first and only residence of our Holland ancestor in this his adopted country. To Long Island, then, we of native birth will look as the home and cradle of the Van \,Vycks of America. We have yet to find the record of his death, and that of his wife, Anna Polhemus. Their remains are in the family burying ground of Richard Thorne, his son-in-law, on Great Neck, L. I., where a field stone marked "Cors. Wyck," was once legible. We have traced him to 1712, and there we must leave him at a good old age, to rest from his labors. 30 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY There were no Van Wycks in Flatbush after the death of the Hollander. Marritje, his eldest daughter, had married Martin Wiltse of Success Lake and settled there. Theodorus and Johannes, sons of the Hollander, early pur chased in Great Neck and Flushing and settled there. Altje m. Richard Thorne of Great Neck and settled there. There was always a strong affection between the families and they as well as their social interest were transferred from Kings County to Queens County. This accounts for the absence of the name at Flatbush until quite recently when John Van Wyck and his family bought land and settled there. The field stone marked "Cors. Wyck" mine eyes have seen, and brown stones probably among the first used mark the rest ing place of the first natives of the name. Later these stones have been removed and buried on the ground. So much for the march of time, strangers now own the farm. It is Thornwood, Great Neck, L. I. On All Saints' Day, 1904, the compiler erected a family monument in the Church Yard of Christ's Church, Manhasset, L. I. One side bears the Van \Vyck arms and the names of the early ancestors. The opposite side is devoted to George Hewlett and Mary his wife, the ancestors of the compiler's mother, Sarah M. Hewlett Van Wyck. By the courtesy of Registrar Mosscrop of Kings County, and his obliging Translator of Records, Mr. Frank L. Van Cleef, I can give a copy of the original Will of Cornelius Ba rentse Van Wyck and Anna (Polhemus) Van Wyck, made jointly in Holland Dutch, on the 17th of June, 1684. Upon removing old records from Flatbush some loose wills were found and carefully bound for reference. Liber C., page 169, proved to be that of Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck and Anna Van Wyck. The pen of 1684 now speaks through the pen of 1912: In den name onser Heeren and Salighmakers Jesu Christi, Amen.

And therefore just as well in the best form and manner possible, wishing that the same shall take rank and receive full effect, so they the Testators have had me, the Clerk, arrange and determine in writing on these pages the Testament of them both and final will, uniformly with good consideration and careful deliberation and resolu tion in manner as follows.

ABSTRACTS OF TITLES OF LAND BELONGING TO CORNELIUS BARENTSE VAN WYCK. Cornelius Barense Van Wyck acquired title to Home Lot A, in the Village of Midwout, or Flatbush, from Aucke Jansen (Van Nuyse) on April 6, 1677. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol A, page 9.) The purchaser is described as Cornelis Baerents. He evidently owned Lot B prior to this date, but the records do not disclose how he acquired the title thereto. Home Lots C, D and E were purchased by him from Tunis Hilbrant Dickhuys, on April 7, 1667. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. C, page 12.) The purchase from Dickhuys included the tract of land at Midwout, 600 Dutch rods long by 23 rods and 3 feet wide, containing about 23 morgen and r8o rods, or about 47 acres, lying immediately south of the farm of the Reformed Dutch Church and extending westwardly from the Home Lots, to the westerly limits or boundary line of the former township of Flatbush at the road leading southwardly to the Village of New Utrecht. One-half of meadow lot II between the First Kill and the Second Kill, and one-half of meadow lot 3, be tween the Second Kill and the Third Kill, were also included in the purchase. In the deed, on the completion of this purchase, the grantee is described as Corneles Baerensen van der Wyck. 36 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY On August 6, 1668, meadow lot I in the Canarsie Meadows of Flatbush and Block lot 45 on the Third Kill were allotted to Cornelius Barentsen van der Wyck by right of his ownership of the farm conveyed to him by Dickhuys. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. D, page 128.) The front portion, containing about 8 acres, of this farm and also Home Lots C, D and E, with the house standing there on, were sold by Cornelius .Barentse Van Wyck to his brother in-law, Jan R. Suebering, as appears by the recitals in a deed of the same property, from Jan R. Suebering to Gerardus Beeck man, dated April 30, 1684, to which last mentioned deed Cor nelis Barens V. Wyck became a subscribing witness. (Flat bush Town Records, Vol C, page 164.) The rear portion also, of this farm was sold by Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck to Jan R. Suebering, who in turn conveyed to Roda£ Ver Kerck, March 17, 1681-2 (Flatbush Town Rec ords, Vol. A.A., page 157), and Cornelius Barentse gave what was evidently a confirmatory deed to Ver Kerck dated Nov. 30, 1688, which was signed Cornelis Barens Van Wyck. The prop erty described in this deed included meadow lot I in the Canarsie Meadow and lots 3 and II above mentioned. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. A, page 119.) · Home Lots A and B, comprising the present Parsonage prop erty of the Flatbush Reformed Church, were sold by Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck to the "Brother Deacons," on Feb. II, 1679- So, and conveyed by deed signed Cornelis Barense Van der Wyck. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. A, page 33-43.) The northerly half of the Clarkson Street and Lenox Road farm was conveyed to Cornelis Barentsen van Wyck, by Pieter Billau by deed dated June 14, 1684. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. C, page 168,) The property conveyed by this deed in cluded meadow lot 7 of the Canarsie Meadow of Flatbush, and one-half of meadow lot 5 and one-half of meadow lot 10, be tween the First Kill and the Second Kill. The .southerly portion of this farm was originally granted by Governor Stuyvesant to the Reverend Johannis Megapolensis. Meadow Lot 20 in the Canarsie Meadow, appertained to it. The records do not disclose how Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck ac quired title to this portion of the farm or to the meadow lot 20.

The records show that Adrien Lmnbers owned the southerly portion in 166g. Lots 26 and 27 of the First Division and Lots 22 and 38 of the Second Division, and Lots 34 and 47 of the Third Division of the Common Woodlands of Flatbush, were allotted to Cor nelis van der Wyk by the People of Midwout, on Jan. 20, 1701. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. A, page 121.) In the conveyances of Lots 56, 57 and 58 of the Second Di vision of the Brooklyn Woodlands, from Carel De Bevoise, Isaac Bennet, and Cornelius Seabring, dated in the years 17021 1703 and 1708, the grantee is described in each case as Cornelius Van Wyck. On May 1, 1710, lot 6 in the Canarsie Meadow was conveyed to Cornelis Barentz van der Wyk by Jan Aukes (Van Nuyse). The whole of the Clarkson Street and Lenox Road farm, together with lot 6 in the Canarsie Meadow, the one-half parts of lots 5 and 10, between the First Kill and the Second Kill, lot 38 of the Second Division, Lots 34 and 47 of the Third Division of the Common Woodlands of Flatbush, and the southerly half parts of lots 56, 57 and 58 of the Second Division of Brooklyn Woodlands, were conveyed by Cornelius van Wyck and Anna his wife to Peter Nagle by an unrecorded deed dated Jan. 24, 1713, now in the possession of Henry B. Davenport, Esquire, of Flatbush, President of the Home Title Insurance Company of Brooklyn. The deed is written on parchment and a portion has been torn off. It is probable that the lost portions of this deed describe the remaining wood lots in Flatbush of Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck. Meadow lot 7 in the Canarsie Meadow, which originally ap pertained to the northerly portion of the Clarkson Street and Lenox Road farm, was conveyed by Cornelis Barens van Wyck to Jan Vanderveer, on June 23, 1699. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. A, page 238.) Lot 20 of the New Lots of Midwout was, on April 2, 168o, granted by Governor Andros to Cornelius Barentse Van W'yck, who was described in the grant as Cornelis Barentsz. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. AA, page 115.) The grantee was evidently 38 GENEALOGY OF TUE VAN WYCIC FAMILY in the possession prior to that dutc, for on June 3, 1678, Cornclis Bacrent vun der Wyck contracted to sell said lot 20 to Abram du Tout, by contract signed Cornclis Barcus van der Wyck. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. C, page 141.) On Feb, 2, 1680-1, du Tout transferred his rights under said contract to Jan Barentsz Blom (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. AA, page 149), and on December 27, 1681, an agreement was entered into between Cornelis Baerentze van der Wyck and Jan Barentze Blom in re spect of payment, which said agreement was signed Cornelis Barens van der Wyck. (Flatbush Town Records, Vol. C, pa~ 218.) On Dec. 4, 1684, a deed of this lot from Cornelis Barentse van der Wyck to Jan Barentse Blom was prepared and entered in the records, but the instrument found recorded is unsigned. {Flatbush Town Records, Vol. C, page 177.) Block lot 46 on the Third Kill, was conveyed to Cornelis van der Wyck by Jacob Hendrix by deed dated Nov. 6, 1691. (Flat. bush Town Records, Vol. A, page 162.) No conveyance from the grantee has been found. By a contract dated Nov. 14, 1691, Hendrict1s Hegeman agreed to sell to Theodorus van Wyck lots 34 and 35 of the New Lots of Midwout, and also Block lots I and 2 on the Third Kill, and large lot 19 between the Second Kill and the Third Kill ( Flatbush Town Records, Vol. A, page 163), and a deed to Theodorus Van Wyck in fulfillment of this contract was re corded April 15, 1694. {Flatbush Town Records, Vol. A, page 195.)

We have reached an important point in this record: Cornelius and Theodorus went to Dutchess Co., Abraham went to New York, and Barent remained on Long Island. Theodorus• Van Wyck, son of Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus, the first native of the name, was born at Flatbush on the 17th day of September, 1668. In the year 1687, on the 26th day of Sept., he took the oath of allegiance (with his father) as native, being nineteen years old. 40 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCIC FAMILY On the 29th of April, 1693, he married Margretia, daughter of Abraham Brinckerhoff* and Altic Stryker of Newtown, be ing then twenty-five years o( age, and settled at Flatbush, where his eldest son, Cornelius, was born. In 1701 he removed from J➔ htbush to Great Neck, and built the house in which he lived. The old homestead is still in a good state of preservation, the rooms are large, the ceilings high, and the location very near the water and commands a full view of Cow Bay. It was built when the surrounding country was a wilderness. Dec, 8, 1701, Theodorus bought of John and Hannah Tred well, 172 acres with the patent right of fifty acres for £267, lying each side of the road, and bounded by the land of Thomas Rush more, Judge Isaac Hicks and Judge John Robinson.

Theodorus Van Wyck was one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, an office held under the King, and filled by men of position, ability and integrity. 42 Gu:.NEALOGY OF TIIU:. VAN WYCJ( FAMILY March ro, 1718, Justke Van Wyck, with others were ap• pointed Commissioners to run the outlines, and boundaries of the towns of Jamaica, Hempstead and Flushing according to the patent. April 26, 1726, Justice Van Wyck was chosen Supervisor of Queens Co, Feb, 2, 1745, we find Theodorus Van Wyck one of His Majesty's Justices of Peace assigned for Queens Co., an office that he probably held as long as he lived. On the first page of the Registry of St. George's Church, Hempstead, is the following inscription: "This book was given to the Parish of Hempstead by Theodoms Van Wyck Justice of Peace, And Inhabitant of Said Parish." The Register of llaptisms begins June, 1725. Robert Jenny being then Rector of the Parish. The church accountings, at that time were held at Michaelmas, and accounts were audited by a Justice of Peace. The poor rates were taxed by law at the same time. The vestry was voted in by freeholders of the town, and the maintenance of the minister was assessed upon all the freeholders, in the town irrespective of creed. This vestry attended to the financial affairs of the church. "A Justice of the Peace was a member of it by virtue of his office." "The Church of England" had also, under its charter, a vestry composed of church mcmhcrs only. After 1701, the Records of the Dutch Church at Jamaica give Theodorus Van Wyck as "Kicrk Master,'' and when the first church gave place to the second, Theodnrus was prominent on the building committee and with others .;igned the call for a minister to the classis at Amsterdam. It is probable that he rode from Great Neck to Jamaica to attend church after leav ing Flatbush. The records at Jamaica give the baptisms of his children and grandchildren as late as 1734. At intervals the Dutch Church at Jamaica, was without a pastor. The Act of the Assembly, 1693, had established the Church of England there and many attended the services, and thereby became attached to it. During the ministrations of Dominies Freeman and Antonides there was a division in the GENl£ALOGY 011' THE VAN WYCK FAMll,Y 43 Dutch Church, each favoring his own choice of minister, and during that time many of the old Dutch congregation attended the Church of England of which the Rev, Mr. Poyer was Rec• tor. Among the contributors at that time we find the names of Theoclorus Van Wyck, and Johannes Van Wyck (his brother) to Rev. Mr. Poyer. On Oct. 27, 1714, on an agreement to heal the long continued dispute concerning their parties in the churches of Kings Co., and agreeing mutually to receive and support Dominies Freeman and Antonides the name of Theodorus Van Wyck appears and not long after this reconciliation, June 30, 1715, Theodorus and Johannes, "Kierk-Masters," are among the signers to the Classis for a minister for the Dutch Church at Jamaica. Theodorus and Margretia were parents of seven children, four sons and three daughters. His family Bible is in existence and in a good state of preser vation. It is now in the possession of Miss Maria Brinckerhoff Van Wyck of New York. It was printed at Amsterdam, Holland, in 1669, and was one of the largest then published. The family record, written in the Low Dutch language, we translate therefrom: "In the year 1668, the 17ch day of Sept., I, Theodorus Van Wyck, son of Cors. Barentse Van Wyck, was born. In the year 1675, the 3rd day of Feb., Margretia, Abram Brinckerhoff's daughter was born. In the year 16g3, the 29th day of April, we were married. In the year 16g4, on the 21st day of April, our son Cornelius was born. In the year 1695, on the 7th of Nov., our son Abraham was born.

Theodorus died Dec. 4, 1753, in the 86th year of his age and was buried in the family ground with his wife, near the fam ily of Richard Thorne at Great Neck, Long Island.

Brett, daughter of Francis Rombout, one of the patentees. It extended from the mountains to the river. The homestead on this prop erty became the headquarters of Gen. Putnam and his successors during the American Revolu~ion. About 1735 he built the house afterward known as the "Whar ton house." This is a fictitious name given to the house by J. Fennimore Cooper in Tlie Spy. In a large square room of this house the mock trial by the Committee of Safety of Enoch Crosby (Harvey Birch) took place and he was afterward con fined in the old Dutch Church. Court martials were held here and the marriages mentioned in The Spy are said to have taken place in this room. During the American Revolution the house was used as headquarters for the officers while in Fishkill. General Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, Baron von Steu ben, General Putnam and others were entertained there. The Army was quartered in the village for several months in 1777. Homestead of Cornelius and Hannah Thorne Van Wyck GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYcK FAMILY 47 THE FARM HousE OR THE WHARTON HOUSE NEAR FISHKILL [Reprinted from The Fishkill Weekly Times, July 24, 18<)5]. Editor Times: It is, I think, to be regretted that the fic titious interest with which the genius of Cooper has invested this old place, should so wholly have superseded that which really belongs to it from the facts of its history. There is no doubt that this house was built and occupied by one of the earliest settlers of the town; that it was in existence before Braddock's defeat-that it formed a part of Putnam's camp at the head of the Highlands during the Revolution that under its roof have been received from time to time Gen eral Washington and Generals Putnam, Steuben, La Fayette and distinguished civilians like John Jay and Alexander Ham ilton. In comparison with the facts, it is of small importance whether Miss Frances Wharton and Major Dunwoodie were married in the east or west room of this old mansion, or the Wharton family were here two months or two years, wnen we know that as fictitious personages they were not here in person at all. THE VAN WYCK HOMESTEAD. The truth of its history is that this house was built about 1735 by one Cornelius Van Wyck, of Hempstead, Long Island, and that his descendants have continued to occupy it until within a few years. This first proprietor of the place was the brother of the Theodorus Van Wyck who settled in Fishkill Hook, and both were the grandsons of the first of the name in this country who made his home at Flatbush, Long Island, about 166o. This Cornelius Van Wyck appears to have come into Dutchess County at first with his brother for the purpose of surveying the Verplanck lands along the Wappingers creek. The Field Book in which they noted their daily surveys along that beautiful stream from II Indian Castle" to II Indian Castle," is still preserved. The tract which he himself purchased near Fishkill, containing some nine hundred and fifty nine acres, in cluded most of the land between the south mountain and the Fishkill creek· and between the east and west mountains, as 48 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY they are sometimes described.• There was excepted from this tract about seventy acres near the Rapalje or Cotheal bridge, which was then owned by a family of the name of Southard. This tract was at that time covered with woodland. In it were deer and other game and the Fishkill and Clove creeks which flowed through or along its borders were then full of -trout and other fish. There were many Indians roaming the woods or passing up and down the old trail through the High lands and in stormy weather some often sought warmth and shelter beside the great fire in the big kitchen, some parts of which, I believe remain. The house has undergone but little change, except that its old shingle siding has given place to clapboards, and the porch is modern. The road was originally more distant from the house than at present. The Village of Fishkill had at that time scarcely an exist ence. The half fort-like church which preceded the prest::-it edifice of the Dutch or Reformed church had probably n1,t then been erected: Perhaps there was a store for trade w:th the Indians and possibly some rude fortification in case of a sudden attack, near where the church now stands. The house in which Madame Brett extinguished the Indian titles to the lands of this valley, known to us in later years as the residence of the late John C. Van Wyck, Esq., the Ter Boss place on Dr. Bartow White's farm, and, the house of Captain Swartz, long owned and occupied by Judge Jackson, were perhaps the only ones then existing which we can now distinctly identify. This Cornelius Van Wyck when he settled here must have been a man of considerable age. Among some of his papers still preserved, I found several years ago a commission "from John Morstgomerie, Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of the Provinces of New York, New Jersey and territories depend ing on them, to him, dated Nov. 29th, 1708, giving him the ad jutancy of that regiment of Queens County, of which Isaac Hicks is Colonel." * We have in our keeping the original deed for this property given by "Cathariyna Brett to Cornelius Van Wyck, of Hempstead, Queens County, Province of New York," dated April 9, 1733. It conveys 959 acres and I rood of land, in " Dutchess County, near a certain river called the Fish Kill."-Eo. TIMES. GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 49 He seems to have endeavored to pursue in his new home· the usually quiet life of the new settler, clearing his lands and improving the highways. He was Justice of the Peace in 1743. The receipt of Jovis Brinckerhoff for twenty pounds, shows that he sent money to Holland "to answer charges of the Fish kill congregation in forwarding a call for a Minister from there." This is dated Dec. 10th, 1744. He gives his own bond for the use of the Dutch church. He was evidently an active and en terprising ·man. His life was much embittered by contests about lands in the Nine Partners with the Filkins family whom his brother from New York in his letter written in 1745, denounces as "a mis chievous tribe." There appears to have been numerous law suits between them and mutual arrests for trespasses. This ended at last and his later years appear to have been passed in peace. Twice his solitude in this wild "plantation. at the Fishkills" was relieved-once by a visit from his old father from Hemp stead, then about eighty years of age, and who had come to see his boys' location in the new country-and once by the passage through the Highlands of British soldiers in the French and Indian wars on the way to Albany and Lake Champlain. The soldiers appear to have foraged severely on the inhabitants as they passed and this family seem to have fled in great con sternation to the brothers in Fish1 We are in a very bad situation. We lose our forts. We lose our interest with ye Indians. The enemy makes a jest and laughing stock at our proceedings. May the Lord strengthen our weak and feeble hands that we may be able to withstand them." In the light of the later history it seems incredible to us that the colonists of New York could have had at any time just grounds for this depression, but it must be remembered that in 1757 France was in possession of about twenty times more American territory than England and it was still a question whether the English or the French were to rule the Valley of the Hudson. Preferring the rule ot Protestant Englaild the colonists of Dutch descent especially, were naturally much c;oncerned at any indications of the ascendancy of France. Mr. Cornelius Van Wyck, the first occupant of this place, was distinguished for his genial, social qualities, and his house became a center of considerable social influence in this young community. His da11ghters had been educated in the English school at Hempstead among their relatives. Their attractions drew visitors from other parts of the colony. Two of these married in New York, one married a Ter Boss, and, one a son of Madam Brett, from whom is descended one branch of the family of that name residing in the town. From the inscription on hi~ tombstone in the old church yard, this Cornelius Van Wyck died in the year 1761. according to the Dutch usage to which I have already ref'!rred, leaving his lands to his sons, and some money and a negro boy or girl to his daughters. Beside his girls he had three sons, to whom Theodorus sold out his interest in the home farm and after sev eral changes settled in Beekman-Richard had gone in his father's life-time to Hopewell, and Cornelius inherited the homestead. Cornelius, Jr., or Cornelius C., as he sometimes wrote his namt, died young, leaving a family of minor ch!Jclren to contend with all the clangers and troubles of the Revolution. It was soon after this time that in course of the strategic conduct of the war, the old place for a period became a part of the camp stationed at the head of the Highlands and for a short time at least the headquarters of Gen. Putnam, then in command of this division of the army. The encampment was principally, as I understand it, on the north of the house, and the worl,shop to the north of these. The house, it is said, had GENEALOGY OF TIIE VAN WYCK FAMILY 51 a door opening toward the west, and the west room was prop erly the office of Gen. Putnam, in which the business of the camp was transacted. Here the officers met in council and here Washington, LaFayette and Steuben must have conferred with Putnam on several occasions. The gravelly knoll beyond the black walnut trees was the burying ground of the soldiers. Pewter plates, bullets and army rubbish of different kinds have been found in recent years in other parts of the ground then occupied by the encampment. At that time, it is stated, that the family continued to occupy a part of the old mansion. After the occupation of this place was no longer important to the public interests, the army was removed, and this tract being restored to its legitimate use was then permanently divided between the children of the Cornelius Van Wyck, Jr., above mentioned. The late Cornelius C., whom many still remember, was, I believe, the oldest of this family and built on his part of the tract the home he and his family so long occupied. The frame of his house is said to have been constructed from the old barracks of the army. That house is now owned and occu pied by Mr. George R. Shaw. His brother Isaac took the old homestead, the farm being much diminished in its extent by divisions. Isaac was a member of one of the early legislatures an amiable man-somewhat addicted to style. The old yellow coach in which he rode to Albany to attend the sessions, with its place for negro driver and footman, has been preserved to our time. His sons died early in life with the exception of the late Isaac I., who in his youth had also been very feeble. The daughters were distinguished for their amiability and pleasing manners and rendered this place again a delightful social resort. One of them married Dr. Westbrook, two of them married Mr. Richard Rapalje, and one of them, Elizabeth (Cousin Betsey), whom none who knew her, can "name but to praise," long re mained to illustrate in herself that amiability and kind-heart edness which distinguished his family. The later history of this place is too familiar to be narrated here. It should be cherished with reverent regard as one of the old homesteads more directly associated than any other, with the military occupation of the town by the revolutionary army, and in itself an important center of social influence, in the old colonial days. ANTHONY VAN wvcK. 52 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY Cornelius was an influential citizen. He was a Magistrate and occupied many positions of trust in his adopted town.

There are two tracts of land in Dutchess Co. called the "Nine Partners," the lower or "Great Nine Partners" and the upper or "Little Nine Partners." In the year 1697 a Royal Patent was obtained from the Crown of England for a tract of land about twelve by sixteen miles in extent and embraced 30,000 acres. The Great Nine Partners included the towns of Clin ton, Pleasant Valley, Washington, Stanford and the old town of Amenia, except what is termed the Oblong. The patentees were: Caleb Hentheote, James Emmot, William Creed,• David John stone, Jarvis Mitchell, Henry Ten Eyck, Henry Filkin, John Aarston, Augustus Graham. "' William Creed's daughter Elizabeth m. Theodorus• Van Wyck (Theodorus,• Cornelius Barentse1). 58 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY The tract was divided into thirty-six principal lots of equal size, there were four tiers running north and south and each one had a lot in each tier. Besides these thirty-six lots there were nine long, narrow lots, running to the Hudson river and these were called water lots. One to each partner. "Little Nine Partners" included the present towns of Milan, Pine Plains and that part of North East which was formerly a part of Amenia. The patent was granted in 17o6, to Samuel Bc,ughton, George Clark, Riy Van Dam, James Graham, R Lurting, F. Franconier, Thomas Wenham, Richard Mompesson, and Richard Sackett, who was the first white settler in Amenia. 10 AnRAHAM 3 VAN WvcK of Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 b.

He went first to Dutchess County to survey lands for Madam Brett, dau. of Frances Rombout, a former Mayor of New York, the original patentee, who had also purchased the same from the Wappinger Indians. This deed was signed by their chiefs of whom, Sakoraghuck and Queghsjehapaeiw were the principals. In 1736 Judge Theodorus moved to Fishkill and bought of Madam Brett nine hundred acres of land (364.4 hectares) located then in Rombout precinct, later in the town of Fishkill, now in the town of East Fishkill and sometimes referred to as being in the Fishkill Hook and near a little hamlet now called Wiccopee, formerly Johnsville. In the removal of his family from Long Island, during the latter part of the journey they were alarmed by Indians and re tired to We~tchester County, where they remained for about two years, then completed their journey. 60 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY The Wappinger or Wiccopee Indians continued to live on and to cultivate part of his land till shortly before the Revo lution, when they removed to Stockbridge, Mass. It is worthy of note that this tract which was purchased i;; its wild state, after two Englishmen by the name of Ogden had thought it too low and wet and the task of clearing, draining, etc., not worth their while, has proved to be in fertility, rich ness and tillage the equal of any in the county, and part of it has been continuously in the possession of his descendants ever since. When he and his brother Cornelius were prospecting for land, it is said their father instructed them, as a proof of its being good, to select where the mulleins grew tall enough to tie a horse to. · In 1740 he built the house afterwards known as the James Van Wyck house. He was a man of marked ability and greatly interested in the development of that locality. With his negroes (slaves) he opened up highways through the forest in many directions. His maps of Poughkeepsie and "The Nine Partners" tracts are still in existence. With Col. John Brinckerhoff, he was appointed one of the first Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, Feb. 24, 1750, by George Clinton, Captain, General, Governor, and Chief over the Province of New York and the Territories depending thereon in America under King George II. The records in the County Clerk's office at Poughkeepsie show that Court was held Oct. 16, 1750, May 21, 1751, Oct. 15, 1751, May 19, 1752, May 15, 1753, Oct. 16, 1753, May 25, 1754, and Oct. 15, 1754, at which he was cited as present on all these dates. He was a man of great decision and promptness and so well did he live up to his motto, "Owe no man a cent," that at the time of his death it is said this was literally true. He was a subscriber to the building fund of the Dutch Re formed Church at Fishkill. About 1746, with Rev. Elisha Kent and others, he was one of the founders of the Rombout Presbyterian Church and served DUTCII CIIURCH, l'ISIIKILL Provim,:it1I Con~rl'~s met here in 1776. Militory prbon Romboul Presbyterian Church built 1750, rebuilt 1830, burned 1866 Judge ThPodon.:; Van \,'yck was one of its founders. Rev. Chauncey Graham was the first pastor for 23 years GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 61 with George Bloom as its first deacons under the Rev. Chauncey Graham, its first pastor, afterwards his son-in-law. To the credit of him and his descendants the family interest in the church continued up to the time it was finally dissolved in 1885 when his great grandson, James Van Wyck, was then acting as its senior cider. On May 5, 1720, hem. for his first wife Elizabeth, dau. of William Creed, she b. March 26, 1698; d. Jan. 5, 1764, aged 66 years. Tradition says they had nineteen children, but we have only been able to find the names of twelve. They raised a noble family of two sons and five daughters, the latter marrying men of distinction in their day. On Nov. 12, 1764, he m. for his second wife Mrs. Janetje Hasbrouck, nee De Lange.

By a marriage settlement his widow Janiche is to release all right of dower to his estate.• Judge Theodorus Van Wyck, the second, built the first part of his house in 1740 and afterwards it was rebuilt by his great grandson, James Van Wyck. Dr. Dorus made it his home with his father-in-law Col. John Brinckerhoff. During the Revolution it was occupied jointly with the Jay family, including the distinguished patriot, Governor and Chief Justice John Jay. It was from this home that John Jay set off on his mission to France to aid in negotiating the Treaty of Peace with England. Col. John Brinckerhoff's house was built in 1738 in the Dutch style of architecture, of stone and bricks that came from Hol land. The date is firmly embedded in the gable end. Col. Brinckerhoff and Gen. Washington were on the greatest terms of friendship and intimacy and the old mansion was never as gay as when ·washington occupied the spare parlor bedroom.

Jacques LeBlanc was possessed of a large estate in Amsterdam. This estate was advertised some years since in a Philadelphia paper. A lady who had emigrated to this country from Amsterdam some 200 years ago was the right ful owner. In default of any claimant the Government took posses sion. Under its care the value exceeded $2,000,000.00, beside many valuables, The certificate was found and translated by Prof. Hod enpyl of Rutgers after the statue of limitation had expired, so it reverted to the government. The Montforts left Long Island about 1730 for New Jersey and the Hudson.

Major Richard moved from Fishkill to Hopewell when quite young and purchased lands (which had been the hunting ground of the Indians for ages) of the first patentee who had obtained them from the original Sachems and Indian Chiefs of the country. On this wild and uncultivated tract he .laid out his farm and commenced to improve the land, which has since proved a fortune. Richard served in the French and Indian War and was Chairman of the Vigilance Committee of the Town in the time of the American Revolution. He was also a Civil Magistrate during that eventful period. One day an individual who cried out, "God save the King" was suddenly collared and assaulted by an· ardent Whig. When the complaint was made before Judge Van Wyck he administered justice in this wise: "You have committed the offence," said he, addressing the prisoner, "and more than that, you have violated the law. It is further more my duty as a magistrate to fine you. I therefore fine you one cent." Putting his hand in his pocket he drew out a penny. "There," said he to the prisoner, "I'll pay your fine." To the bystanders he added: "The next time he cries out 'God save the King' do you give him an outright flogging and I will pay you for that." REVOLUTIONARY PLEDGE.

The Pledge was as follows: PERSUADED that the salvation of the rights and liberties of America depend, under God, on the firm union of the inhabi tants in a rigorous prosecution of the measures necessary for its safety; and convinced of the necessity of preventing anarchy and confusion, which attend the dissolution of the powers of government, we the freemen, freeholders, inhabitants of Rombout Precinct, being greatly alarmed at the avowed designs of the Ministry to raise a revenue in America, and shocked by the bloody scene now acting in Massachusetts Bay, do in the most solemn manner, resolve, never to become slaves; and do associate under all the ties of religion, honor and love of our country to adopt and endeavor to carry into execution whatever measure may be recommended by the Continental Congress or resolved upon our Provincial Convention for the purpose of preserving our Constitution, and opposing the execution of the several arbitrary Acts of the British Parliament, until a reconciliation between Great Britain and America on constitutional principles ( which we most ardently desire), can be obtained; and that we will in all things follow the advice of our General Committee respect ing the purpose aforesaid, the preservation of peace and good order and the safety of individuals and property.

GEORGE CLINTON EXPLAINS THE EPISODE TO GEN •.WASH INGTON. New Windsor, 5th May, 1776. DEAR Srn--On my arival here I immediately went to Fish kill to make lnquiery about the arms said to be stored at Capt. Wiltsy's. I find that about a week ago a certain Duncan Campbell, a Major in the Ministerial Army, taken on Board the Enemy's Vessel at the Mouth of the Sorrel, came to Fishkill on Board of an Albany sloop, landed there & put in Wiltsy's Store a number of chests and trunks containing as he said Officers' Baggage, for which he took a Rec't from Wiltsy. He had a pass from Gen'! Schuyler to go to Fredericksburgh, in Dutchess County, with this Baggage, which he shewed to Wiltsy & ap plied for assistance to take his chest &c. there, but being dis apointed in getting teems for the Purpose, they lay some Days in the Store, in which time some Boys playing in the store dis covered that one of the chests which had been nailed up & lashed with a Rope, but had partly got open, contained Fire Arms, of which they acquainted Mr. Wiltsy, who immediately Gave the Committee of the Precinct Notice thereof. The committee mett, opened that chest, found it contained 13 Officers' Pieces with Paper fastened to each Piece on which the owner's Name was written; 7 Broadswords & some Pis tols; then ordered that & the other chests. 9 in Number, to their Chairman's House (Rich'd Van Wyck's) about 10 miles back in the country, where they now are as yet unopened, but from their extraordinary weight it is likely they are all filled with arms. The trunks which contained Baggage only are not detained. I believe they have been taken away by Campbell. The Committee have appointed t<>-night to open the other chests on Monday next & have summoned Campbell to attend them. In this T fear they have been over-prudent, for if Guilty he will fly for it. It is reported & I believe he has already. GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 79 It will be out of my Power to attend the Committee to open the chests, &c., on Monday as my Business calls me to Kings ton that Day, which is forty Miles Distant. I have therefore sent the chairman (Rich'd Van Wyck) your order to me in closing in a Letter of which I now send you a Copy, and as he is an Active Man warmly engaged in his Country's Cause I doubt not that every thing will be done as well for the secur ing of the arms or Campbell if necessary and as soon as I re ceive that Report I will transmit it to you. Fredericksburgh is a neighbourhood in which many Scotch half-pay Officers ( of course disaffected) live among the Rest. It was mentioned in the Letter you shewed me but I can't learn with certainty that he is gone off, tho it is said several Persons in that Neighbourhood have lately absconded. I am with the highest Esteem, your Most Obed't Serv't, GEO. CLINTON. A SHORT DllIVE AMONG THE OLD HOMESTEADS IN HOPEWELL. [Reprinted from The Fisltki/1 Weekly Times.] Mr. Editor: There are many pleasant drives in every part of the old town of Fishkill, and one may scarcely express a decided preference, when each has some peculiar interest of its own. Yet from its past associations or its own intrinsic merit I have always great pleasure in the ride from Fishkill village through that portion of the ancient township which, I presume from its post office address, has been designated as Hopewell. Indeed there is none which gives so good a near view of the valley of the Fishkill creek, with the suggestive outline of the Shenandoah and the Beekman hills, and on the return especially, of the fine gap of the Highlands and the grand old mountain which guards its entrance. In one sense it is unique in its in terest or at least shares that only with the road from "the Land ing" to the village in having been the highway which during the Revolutionary War was traveled by the troops from New Jersey and the south to Danbury and Boston. Nearly every one of the old houses along this road has a history more or less 80 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY associated with the lives of the patriots of that day or witl various incidents attending the passage of the army. On this road at some three miles distant from the Griffo Homestead and just beside Hopewell Junction we pass the ol< residence of Richard Van Wyck-now for many years in th1 possession of Lawrence C. Rapelje, Esq. The tract on whicl this Mr. Van Wyck had placed his home and which was Ion! transmitted to his descendants was known among the earl) settlers of this township as "the Scrub or Shrub Oak Plains,' and was not classed by them among its choicest lands. I was pleasant land to live on, however, easily tilled, dry anc healthy, and has made a good home for several generation: of this family. It appears to have been in the early times : favorite resort for the Indians. There was an Indian orcharc upon it and an enclosure into which they were accustomed t< drive the deer, when they formed their large hunting parties. Many Indian relics were formerly found here, including arrow heads, stone clubs and hatchets. One old mortar in which the Indians ground or pounded their corn stands or did stand with in a few years near the well. The house has undergone many changes, yet there still remains a veritable part of the ancient edifice. The rear of this I remember was still covered in my boyhood with shingles. The huge kitchen, in which I recol lect Charles and Sam would crack nuts and drink cider around great blazing logs, if not entirely removed, has long since been divided into several apartments. In fact, the great kitchen was no longer needed when slavery expired. This Richard Van Wyck, the first of that name, was the son of the gentleman who built "the Farm House" near the village and was himself born at Hempstead, on Long Island. He was the ancestor of the Hopewell and Fishkill Plains branches of the family of that name, and was known in Revolutionary days as "the Major." Among his papers, which were found in this old home before its sale, was a commission from the Provincial Congress dated October 17th, 1775, appointing him "Second Major of the Regiment of Foot in the Militia of Dutchess County, of which Derick Brinckerhoff, Esq., was Colonel." This was signed by Nathaniel Woodhull, President. Another inter esting memento of that period was a receipt "on the Part of a GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 81 Company of Riflemen on their way to Boston to join the Con tinental army, for 6 sheaves of oats, IO horses pasture and r r-8 gallons Rum," dated August 4, 1778, and signed by Hugh Stephenson. Evidently the fathers of our country were not all total abstinence men. And this little scrap of paper gives us a vivid picture of the manners of the day which we rarely find in the largest history. Although Major Richard was so feeble in health that he was generally confined to the house in winter and in summer only rode round his farm on horseback-having "the old-fash ioned consumption," a very good kind, it will appear, since he lived to be over eighty-still he was a very ardent and active patriot. The records of the town show that he was early en rolled in the militia and was one of the first members of "the Committee of Observation" or "of Safety," as sometimes called. When he died, his lands were divided among his two sons, the homestead passing to his younger son, Theodorus R., who will doubtless be remembered by some still living, as "the old Judge." This gentleman himself recollected having done some service in his youth for the Revolutionary army. When a boy of sixteen he had charge of his father's teams when detailed to aid in removing Putnam's camp to Danbury. He had served in some similar way at other times, and was always proud that he had served at all. His early recollections rendered him al ways deeply interested in the politics of his country. One of my latest remembrances of him was to find him at Mr. Boice's listening to a thrilling address of J. V. N. Bonesteel, Esq., on "the national peril occasioned by the Whig policy." He had been himself a member of the Assembly in r8o3 and in 18o4. Afterwards he was Judge of the Common Pleas-one of the side Judges, as it was then expressed. In all his varied rela tions it may properly be stated that he was distinguished for his strict integrity, his truth, his sincerity, his old-time courtesy. THE STOCKHOLM HOUSE AND MILL. About a mile b!!yond this place we come to the Stockholm property. My impression is that neither this mill nor the house were constructed until after the Revolutionary War. At all events I do not recall any circumstance of special interest con- 82 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY nected with their history, except that they were unusually fine representatives of the old-time :r,Iill and miller's house and from their situation must have been when first built exceedingly pic turesque and pleasing. The house especially was the true type of an old Dutch residence. The small brick of which it was composed, its little windows and diminutive panes of glass as sured us of its early origin. It is to be regretted that the exi gencies of our modem civilization have compelled its destruc tion. [ Our correspondent is slightly at fault here. The old mansion still stands and was owned and occupied by the Hon. Augustus Brush until his death last year.] Its chief interest, however, had really gone several years before, when Mrs. Stockholm-the old lady-had passed away. She had lived to a great age and was in many respects a re markable woman. As sister of Col. Derick Brinckerhoff, she had inherited the patriotic spirit of her family and had treas ured up in her strong memory the local incidents connected with the Revolutionary period and the early history of the town. Mr. Brinckerhoff informed me that he derived much valuable information from her in preparing his "Historical Sketch of Fishkill." Her clearness of mind, patriotic sympathies, and a true nobility of soul had rendered her for many years before her death a favorite example of our women of the Revolution. THE HOPEWELL CHURCH. Just beyond, with its grove of old oaks, the mill pond and the wood on the other side has always appeared to me the very ideal of the country church, and with its surroundings con stitute a scene of unusual beauty and picturesque effect. The addition of the new cemetery has only enhanced its interest. The road now passes several houses occupied by families bear ing old familiar names associated with the early history of the town,-Montfort,-Bogardus. The houses are modern, having long since displaced the older ones. I do not recall anything of special interest in connection with them, except that on the farm of one is still standing the old barn in which the people of this part of the town occasionally gathered for religious service before the church had been built. It is not to be wondered at GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYcK FAMILY 83 that they soon grew weary of the long ride in storm or sun shine to the old mother church at the village. THE ADIUANCI> HOMESTl>AD, This part of the town has long been the home of the Adriance family, which came originally into this county, I have been in formed, from Harlem. There was a time within my recollection when from a high hill in this vicinity almost all the farms with in view were owned and occupied by the Adriances and the Storms. It is pleasant to observe, as we ride along, that while other names disappear, they still retain their hold on the most of these choice lands. The spacious brick house erected about 50 years ago by Peter Adriance, was until recently occupied by Pierre Storms, one of the descendants of the first proprietor of this property, is nearly opposite the site of the old homeEtead, which was on the other side of the road. The group of oaks near the gate now leading to the barns, marks still the en trance which led to the ancient building. That has long since disappeared, although many of us remember the long, low, red house with white window shutters and uncovered "stoops," quite common in the Colonial days. Here often sat, in his old age, in his big easy chair, Captain Rem Adriance, himself, I think, the son of the first occupant of this place. I write Cap tain Rem for I have always heard him spoken of as Captain, and have understood that it was he with his detachment of men, who were detailed in 1776 to throw up the redoubts near "the Dry Bridge" in the Highiands, on the site now called, I am in formed, Fort Hill, formerly "Redoubt Hill." Still I find no authority for this in "the Historical Sketches of Mr. Brincker hoff and simply make the statement as I have heard it. The last time that I remember seeing the old gentleman was when he laid the cornerstone of the second church edifice at Hope well, in the time of the ministry of Mr. Whitehead or, early in that of Dr. Polhemus. He was then over eighty years of age, much emaciated and very feeble, though showing still in his eye something of the fire of his youth. In regard 'to his connection with "the Redoubts" in the Highlands, I can only give the story as I have heard it, leaving to others with more leisure and better opportunities the labor 84 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY of a more careful investigation. The day in which these re doubts were erected was, it is stated, a very warm one. The British were hourly expected to pass through the Highlands, The people were in a fearful state of excitement. Ladies gath ered in little groups in many houses, which Mrs. Stockholm used to name, to prepare lint and bandages for use in the com ing conflict. It was an hour of great anxiety and gloomy ap prehensions which, happily, were not realized. That they were not, does not detract from the patriotism and heroism of the brave men who, undisciplined, almost unarmed, knowing the danger, fearlessly went forward to meet it. Whoever was the captain on this occasion, there used to be told an incident of that campaign, which had enlivened the gloomy memories of that hour, and which deserves to be re called, although I cannot vouch for its truth. It appears that after the redoubts were constructed, the night soon came on and the soldiers lay down to rest on their arms, having with due precaution first stationed the guard for the night. All went well until long past midnight, when in the dark hour which precedes the dawn the sentinel on duty descried some dark ob jects moving slowly up the hill. To his excited imagination they were the advanced line of the British army about to move upon their work. On they came nearer and nearer "still as the breeze but dreadful as the storm." He was convinced that it was the enemy. There could be no mistake. He alarmed his comrades. They sprang to arms in the true spirit of seventy six and stood in silence waiting eagerly for the fray, when sud denly the solid rank of the dark forms broke and the loud b-a-a followed with a bellow as they scattered over the hillside, re vealed the fact that the attacking force consisted of a herd of yearlings, which was pasturing in the fields near by and had suddenly taken fright on finding strangers in their accustomed pasture. We can well believe that our brave countrymen after this lay down again much relieved and enjoyed the sweet sleep which comes from "duty nobly done." In after years, it is said, they would recount the story as around their firesides they told of "hair-breadth escapes" and "fought their battles o'er again." GENEALOGY oF THE VAN WYcK FAMILY 85 THE BRINCKERHOFF HOMESTEAD, About half a mile beyond the old home of the Adriances we find ourselves in the presence of one of the marked historic places of the town-the residence of the late T. Van Wyck Brinckerhoff, the author of "the Historical Sketches of Fish kill." The house, with its old piazza, and "stoop," the old well, its low eaves and dormer windows in the old part, amid "the murmuring pines" and elms, its old barns and wagon house, where once busily· sounded the spinning wheel, its cribs and sheds present a picture of the old-time homestead, which one might travel far to see and which its late owner so loved to preserve and cherish. This place did not come into the possession of the Brim:ker hoff family until after the Revolution. It had at one time be longed to one of the familie5 of Adriances and was, I believe built by one of them. During the Revolution a tavern had been kept there. At that time there was no fence in front, but all the space between the house and the two roads lay in an open green. There is still an old tile mantel-piece in one of the bed rooms and the low ceilings and quaint fireplaces in that part of the house attest its long history. The late Mr. Brinckerhoff had gathered here with that enthusiasm for the old, which became the historian of town and that intelligent appreciation and con scientious care which charterized him, very many valuable relics which rendered his house a perfect treasury of antiquities. This house has a recognized historical character. It is well authenticated that many prisoners were confined here from time to time during the Revolution. Only a few years ago, in mak-. ing some repairs in one of the upper rooms Mr. Brinckerhoff found in a vacant space between the plastered wall and the sid ing of the house, if I am correctly informed, some old knap sacks, a bayonet or two and some letters or papers of the period, which had evidently belonged to the men confined there. It is an old tradition that Washington and his staff remained at this house one nigbt on their way to Boston and that the next morning as the, 11eighboring farmers gathered on the open green or near the cross roads to greet him, raising their hats with the old-time deference, he is said to have addressed them, "Put on 86 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WvcK FAMILY your hats, gentlemen, I am only a man like yourselves and wish no such deference shown me." Apart from its revolutionary interest this place has always had a peculiar ·harm to me as one of the typical North River homes. The .grandfather of Mr. T. Van Wyck Brinckerhoff, who purchased this property had come from Long Island and brought with him that cheerfulness of temperament and some thing of that love for fishing and hunting which characterized the people of the Island, I recall now his care of his rods and lines and fishing tackle, his almost English love of his dogs and even when crippled with rheumatism, his sympathetic interest and kindly suggestions in all our boyish sports. Nor was his son, "the Squire," though a more thoughtful man, less sym pathetic iri all that amused the children, He had brought with him also from the Island his family of negroes and there were few things about fishing and fish traps and night-fishing which old Morg and his son Phil. could not instruct us in with true sportsman's zest. It was above all others the place for a good Christmas frolic and thrilling "spook" stories among the ne groes after dark. Associated as it is with some of the sweetest memories of boyhood and innumerable happy hours in later years with him and his loved ones, whose presence gave this place its charm, I pass it, now that they arc gone from it, in silence. The poet has well said "silence is the language of our deepest emotions." The drive back to the village gives us again the view of the mountains and the pleasant valley which so charms the way and soothes us, amid the many changes of life with the thought that nature with her unchanging beauty and strength is still the same.

(1) May 7, 1751, Martha Carman, b. May 17, 1732; d. July 8, 1772, • The first Reformed Dutch Church in Niew Amsterdam was built in 1633. It was a plain wooden edifice; Rev. Everardus Bogardus, minister. The second a stone structure (for security against the Indians) was built in Fort Amsterdam, near the Battery, in 1642. The building in the Fort being required by the English garrison, the Dutch people erected a third church in Garden Street, 1693. This answered the needs of the congregation for forty years, when they erected the old Middle Church in Nassau Street in 1729. This was used until 1844, when it was leased to the Government. Owing to the decay of the Dutch language in an English Colony a call was made in 1763 for an English speaking minister, and the Rev. Archibald Laidlie was sent to New York. He was required to preach twice a week, discourse on the catechism, administer the Lord's Supper and preach on the festivals Easter, Whitsunday, Ascension Day and Christmas, and days of thanksgiving and prayer appointed by public authority. The North Church corner William and Fulton Streets, built 1769, bad the English service until 1875, when it was torn down and the interesting pewter plate prepared and hidden by Garret Abee! was brought to light. The church of St. Nicholas on Fifth Avenue is the outgrowth of these. f:ius..~llllWAS.st7Ull'll'IUS°80:R!m.EGA'l'l'ON' OF:m:E: .tlEFOIU!ml1'ho'n!Sr.Al'l'.'l11itr.raJt!mnumnr 'IliB~l'J.TOFmfomcr.o:ft.boLISH iB'B.llICS mmmi.nm :.t, fmmCTimr Dl!'At'foEMl~Tl!10l1 :f.LIIEll.S .tiE.M:O'KB .&ndt.msCRAL1C. !we·ii.oSEtl'ELT b"?ER 1:oTl' .tfuitIAN iANcK1!11. fmm 51foo.BRT ful!.EW:Si:.&RSCB,A?,X ~®011.'DS'ifAlf ~ClC 8°A1tll.ET t:&nL hnREWilll!ESTstl tu~ ~Alll'El'ITEJl.'~·!:s.ommaa. !oat-Z Juoa hsua :lbsoN,.AND1.hu:'filDs Sir. 1'1R.S1;.!TolmWAJ!UU?

From his father he inherited the mill, which at one time was largely resorted to, the house that he built, afterwards known as the Chas. W. Emans place, and five hundred of the original nine hundred acres of land. His home was distinguished for its hospitality, and James Kent, afterwards Chancellor, was often his guest. In his will he left his homestead to his son William, later member of Congress. Like his brother Dorus, he also was fined two shillings for being late at that meeting. He was called upon to go with another and a sufficient guard to the Tories and purchase firearms in the district of Captain Beedle's Company in a friendly manner for the Continental forces and if they refused to give them up, they were to take them by force and to allow them a reasonable credit for the arms. Afterwards he made returns of the prices and names of persons from whom the arms were purchased. He was a Magistrate during the war. He married for his second wife, June 30, 1774, Sarah Haight. His family attended the church at Brinckerhoff and are buried in its churchyard. COMMISSION AS LIEUTENANT OF JoHN 6 VANWYCK (No. 89).

Altjc's epitaph reads: 11 In her were embraced Rachel's beauty, Sarah's obedience, Abigail's prudence, Martha's earnest fidelity, and Mary's pious heart."-Gen. and Hist, Record, Vol. 24, When Dr. Theodorus was a boy of some six years his father moved from Long Island to Dutchess County where he afterward made it his home. It is known that he received the advantages of a liberal education and was a man of much culture. He probably gained his medical instruction by studying with some practicing physician. He began an active and extensive practice at Fishkill, N. Y., about 1752, and was, without doubt, the earliest doctor there. He was affectionately called Dr. Dorus. He was a stanch patriot, very outspoken, and took an active interest in the American Revolution as his record shows. The II Committee of Observation" of the town of Fishkill, of which he was a member, was in existence some ten weeks, from July 13, its first meeting, till it adjourned Sept. 27, 1775, and of its proceedings there is a well preserved record, and his name is often mentioned therein. He signed the II Revolutionary Pledge" and was present at the famous war meeting at the house of Col. Jacob Griffin (afterwards known as the Curtis house, Swartwoutville), Aug 94 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY I 5, 1775, when a record of all those who signed and those who refused to sign the Association was made and a copy sent to the Provincial Congress. Great emphasis was placed on having the members punctual at this meeting and it may be of interest to say that the meeting started some two hours behind time, and that Doctor Dorus and several others were fined two shillings each for being late. In Captain Southard's Company's district, he and four others were appointed to go (with a guard) to purchase at a reasonable rate if possible, from the Tories their firearms for the Continental forces, and if they refused to sell they were to take them by force. What difficulty they had in gathering the arms that they afterwards turned in is not known. Probably as a member of the II Vigilance Committee" and 11 Committee of Safety" we would find him there equally as active, but unfortunately we have no record of their proceed ings to refer to. He was elected as a Deputy to represent Dutchess County in the 3rd Provincial Congress at a meeting held April 16, 1776. This "Provincial Congress" was in session at New York from May 14, to June 30, 1776. The following letter and certificates are here added because it has been often printed that Doctor Theodorus was also a member of the Second Provincial Congress. As it was customary for the doctor to sign himself Theo dorus, Jun'r., before this, it does not seem likely that while his father was still living and at the same place, he would omit the Junior in this letter. Deputies for the city and county of New York produced a certificate from the General Committee of the said city and county dated NQv. 10, 1775, and signed by John Broome, Chairman pro tcmpore, where it appears that ...... Theodorus Van Wyck were by a great majority of voices elected Deputy for the city and county of New York. A letter from Theodorus Van Wyck, one of the delegates elected to represent the city and county of New York, excusing non-attendance: GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 95 New York, Dec. 2, 1775. Srn: I have the honour to be elected a member of this Congress but am sorry the public did not consider my infirmity in respect to my hearing which renders me a very unfit person to dis charge that important trust as I am not able to distinguish or understand any argument or debate (unless the speakers are very near me) which always gives me extreme pain and un easiness. I humbly beg therefore in case of my non attendance that the gentlemen of the Congress will not impute it to my un willingness to serve, for I can assure them that I am a friend to the rights and liberties of my country, and will cheerfully bear my part of the burthen to preserve inviolate in anything that I am capable of or properly qualified for. I have the honour Sir, Your and their very humble serv't, (Signed) THEOD. VAN WvcK. [This was his father.] A certificate dated April 16, 1776, signed by Egbert Bensen, chairman, and attested by Melancton Smith, clerk, was read and filed whereby it appears that at an election held on said 16th clay of April, Theodorus Van Wyck, Jun'r ...... were elected deputies to represent the said county in Provincial Congress for one year and no longer. (From Dutchess County.) Extract from Tlze Journals of tlze Provincial Congress, etc., published by the State in 1842. In the Public Papers of George Clinton there is a letter dated Feb. 17, 1778, signed by the Governor and addressed to Doct'r Van Wyck, advising him of a quantity of sugar at Fishkill Landing reported belonging to some persons friendly with the enemy. Also among those same papers is another letter dated March 16, 1778, addressed to the Governor and signed by Theodorus Van Wyck and Henry Livingston, Jun'r, as Com missioners of Sequestration in which they ask for advice as to 96 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCI< FAMILY what reduction in rent should be made to those who have been elsewhere deprived of their lands, etc., by the enemy and what rent should be charged and to whom paid for the use of the property they have sequestrated. Also, as to what disposition should be made of a quantity of plate belonging to John Livingston, Peter Stuyvesant and Stephen Crossfield, that they have in their keeping. He served during the war in the Second Dutchess County Regiment and afterwards in the Sixth, and the musket he had is now in the possession of his great-grandson, Dr. David Barnes Van Wyck of Arlington, N. Y. The "Frankfort Store House," the origin of river freighting, he was interested in and served on its board of managers. Dr. Theodorus married May 23, 1754, his first wife, Altje, eldest daughter of Col. John Brinckerhoff and Jannetje Van Voorhees and with them they made it their home and where their children were born. After his father's death, Sept. 15, 1776, he inherited the homestead and four hundred acres (161.88 hectares). During the Revolution, as elsewhere referred to, this home stead was occupied by the Jay family and where the afterwards distinguished John Jay spent some of his time. We would like to recite his activities in connection with the Rombout Presbyterian Church where we find recorded his first marriage and the baptisms of his children, but owing to there being no complete records in existence, we are unable to do so. This we do know, that he was a man of high character and had an ideal Chri,tian home and was a man among men. In 1776 he married a first cousin of his first wife, Mary (Van Voorhees) Du Bois, widow of Peter DuBois and daughter of Coert Van Voorhees and Catherine Filkin, and by this mar riage there were two children. On Dec. 7, 1789, he passed away, fifty-nine years of age, and was buried with his kin in the old Rombout Presbyterian churchyard. 39 ELIZABETH4 VAN WvcK, of Judge Theodorus,8 Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 97 b.

The house at that time was half its present size as we judge from the spot where the staircase was formerly placed. The beams are of hewn oak fastened together with locust pegs, the window sills are of black walnut, and the laths of split hickory. In the parlor stands a corner closet of antique work manship with a rising sun ~1t the top. This has doors with small panes of glass and underneath a wine closet. The whole is exactly like the one taken from the old Hewlett house at Woodbury and placed in the Metropolitan Museum in 1910. The chimney in the living room is half false. In the bedroom above one may take up a small trap in the floor and conceal him self in the chim:1ey beside the flue. A piece of locust about 18 inches high sawed from a tree was found there. This might conveniently haYe served for a seat for the person in hiding. In the next bedroom there is also a trap-door in the floor leading to the dining room below. Captain Abraham Van Wyck of the Provincial Militia and Elizabeth Wright, his wife, bought it in 1787. Their daughter, Zeruah Van \1/yck, who vowed that she would never change her name, was married there to her cousin Abraham Van Wyck of Clason Point, Westchester Co. Her gown was of peach blos som silk, brocaded with tiny rosebuds and leaves. A needle book at the Homestead made of the brocade is in the possession of the present owner. The gown as well as the silver service was given to William, the son of Zeruah. After the birth of her first child l\Iary ( who married Henry Fleet), Zeruah had a desire to return to Long Island. Abraham sold his West chester land for £5,000 and coming- in a boat to West Neck carried the equivalent of ten thousand dollars in coin in a basket. This he paid to Capt. Abraham Van \Vyck. his uncle and father in-law, for the Homestead in 1793. It then comprised 500 acres of land and there were about thirty slaves to carry it on.* * Slavery in N cw York state in those clays was of the milclcst character. The institution was patriarchal ancl cruelty to them was absolutely unknown. In 1798 they were manumitted on Long Island. HOME.STE.AD Of CAPT. ABRAHAM VAN WYCK, WE.ST NE.CK. LONG ISLAND Before it was remodeled GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 109 Some of them lived on the land now owned by George McKesson Brown and some in the cottage which now forms the parlor of the house remodelled in 19II by H. V. W. L., while five of them were house servants, among them Hagar, Violet and Rose. Abraham had a black pony that jumped fences and on this he rode over the farm every day to give orders. It became so exceedingly productive as to be a perfect mar ket place. Its orchards bore the finest fruit and its pastures never failed. The stock is watered from a spring near the shore and tradition says that whatever drank therefrom grew fat. The scenery here is of surpassing beauty. As you enter the gateway a beautiful panorama is before you, the land-locked harbor is at your feet, with West and East Necks standing sen tinel. Beyond, Lloyds Harbor and Eatons Neck with their lighthouses, Long Island Sound stretches in the distance; and the rising hills of Connecticut, with its beautiful tc,wns reflected back to view complete the picture. The antiquated mansion, with its huge box bushes, roses of sharon and tulips, syringa and snowballs, is at the water side. Zeruah had the house elongated to its present dimensions, about 83 feet. adding to the living room, which was then the dining room. The same Franklin still gives out its genial warmth. Her kitchen is now the dining room and the same fireplace is now in use. This homestead descended to the eldest son, Samuel Van Wyck, who willed it to his nephew, Whitehead H. Van Wyck, who took possession in 1881. It now numbers I 12 acres and in 1900 was divided among four heirs, the eldest daughter retaining the house. While endeavoring to preserve the old lines the present owner has made it as comfortable as possible by equipping it with modern conveniences. Rhoda, daughter of Abraham, married Isaac Hewlett and lived at Woodbury, while Sarah. the other daughter, married Col. Coles Wortman, and lived at Boutons Point by the Inlet in sight of her father's house.* * At the Van Wyck Homestead at West Neck was an old picture, "The Descent from the Cross," which had been considered by Zeruah too sad a subject to hang downstairs. For a time it was in the guest 110 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMlLY 52 MARv4 VAN Wvcx (Barent,8 Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 b. at Merrick, L. I.; m.

Werckhoven in 1652, settled at Nyack or Fort Hamilton, L. I. Jacques was granted and patented the town of Utrecht, of which he was the recognized bead. The Dutch travellers Dankers and Sluyter give an interesting description of the Lord of Nyack. The land was bought of the Indians and Jacques allowed them to remain says the writer. He was born of French parents, as one might see by his actions, look and language. He had studied philosophy and spoke Latin and French. He was a mathematician and sworn land surveyor. He bad also learned several sciences and had some knowledge of medicine. Jacques Cortelyou's education and his profession of surveyor made him as useful as he was a trusted citizen of the colony. He died 16g3, leaving many children, Jacques and Peter only were married and bad heirs. 112 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 139 Scudder, b. at Huntington, Sept. 91 1768; cl. at Nor· walk, Conn., Sept. 28, 1776. +140 Eliphalet, b. at Huntington, July 4, 176g; cl. at Troy, June 7, 1850; m.

Dr. Stephen Wickes well remembers his patriotic grand mother, Abigail Van Wyck, although but three years old when he last saw her in 1816, a short time before her death, she was phoi11graphed on his memo:y wi:h vivid distinctness. He re called her tall, erect, symmetrical figure; her delicate, expressive features and her head dressed in a close-fitting cambric cap. A white kerchief around her neck laid in folds, down the open front of her dress to the waist. This is the picture of the woman who had indeed been through the War. She left her luxurious home at Huntington and took up camp life with her husband, suffering every privation to be near him. Thomas Wickes was born at Huntington, L. I., a descendant of Thos. Wickes who emigrated from Warwick, England. Af ter the conquest of New York by the English in 1664, the Gov- GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 113 emor ordered all who had bought land of the Indians to take out a patent for the confirmation of their contracts for which a sum was demanded as he dictated. The fees for patents were per• quisites to the Governor and quit rents charged upon them went as revenue to the crown. In 1666, Jonas ·wood, Robert Seely, John Ketcham, Thos. Skidmore, Isaac Post, Thos. Jones, and Thos. Wickes, are named as Patentees to the Town of Huntington. In 1694, another Patent was granted by Gov. F1etcher alter ing the eastern boundary of the town and securing all the lands within the boundaries of the Patent not before purchased by them. The expense of this Patent was £56, 18s., 3d., of which £50 was paid to the Governor and public officers. The names in serted in the last Patent were: Thos. v\'ickes, Joseph Bayley, Jonas Wood, John Wickes, Thos. Brush and John Adams. They were called Trustees of the freeholders of the town. Thos. Wickes I., died 1728, leaving a son, Thomas, Jr., who died 1745, leaving a son, Eliphalet, who was County Clerk in the year 1748, also Justice of Peace for Suffolk Co. in 1754. He died July, 1761, leaving one son Thomas, who married Abi~ gail Van Wyck, and three daughters, Margaret, Hannah, and Mary who married Rev. John Qose. Thomas Wickes was a commissioned Captain in a regiment of militia of Suffolk Co., Nassau Island; 614 men constituted the regiment. 1776, when the British landed on the west end of Long Island, Thomas and Abigail Wickes took their family with beds, clothing and such necessaries as his wagon would contain, and leaving his property, fled to Norwalk, Connecticut, where three of their children died within five days of each other, aged nine, six and three years. From thence he went to Dutchess Co., where he entered the Continental service with rank of Major and continued during the war in the quartermaster's department. Here also they lost two little ones, perhaps from the exposure of life in the Barracks. While stationed at Fish kill his little son Eliphalct, born in 1769, used to go to Long Island on horseback and tap on the window pane of the Van Wyck house at East Woods and inquire after his mother's family. In 1779 he rode from Washington's headquarters at 114 GENEALOGY OF TlIE VAN WYCK FAMILY Fishkill to those of Gen. Gates in Providence, R. I., to carry the news of the taking of Stony Point by "Mad" Anthony Wayne. His papers demanded relays of horses and his saddle-bags were filled with provisions which he supplemented with milk from the farms. On this occasion he afterward related that the keeper of the toll gate would not allow him to pass be cause he had no money. When he found him inexorable he burst into tears and said that he was Gen. Washington's ex press rider. The man allowed him to proceed with this ad monition: "Tell Gen. Wasl1ington to get a despatch rider next time who does not cry." He would canter up beside Washington with boyish familiar ity, and his suite were surprised to see how readily the great General encouraged it. He would simply explain to them, "That is Major Wickes' son." Eliphalet Wickes was admitted to the bar and was known as the "honest lawyer." He was elected to Congress from 1805 to 18o7. · He was interested in charitable works and founded a Theological Scholarship at Princeton. Eliphalet married Martha Herriman, daughter of Stephen Herriman and Martha Skidmore. This Stephen went to Jamaica and changed his name from Harriman to Herriman. He had a son Stephen who married Eliza Smith. Their daughter, Eliza Herriman married Major-Gen. Van Wyck Wickes. The most active part of Eliphalet's life was spent at Jamaica, L. I., where he was instrumental in establishing the first Post Office under Jefferson. In 1835 he removed to Troy where he ended his days. 55 JoHN4 THORNE of Altje,8 Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentse.1 d.

GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 129 Letter from the Hon. Wm. W. Van Wyck (Member of Congress) to his half-brother Theodorus W. Van Wyck of East Fishkill: Washington, Jan. 16, 1822. DEAR BROTHER: The next day after receiving your letter, I enclosed it, together with one of the Intelligencers, and sent them on to William-I have yet received no letter from him. You have seen before this, that the question about the next President is already started, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Lownds, Adams and Thompson are talked of. The most of the members here think it premature, and endeavor to dis courage it. It will be more than two years before the election takes place, and every candidate may be either dead or very unpopular before that time. I am much disappointed with our republicans here. You see the situation of our treasury. The debt has increased since January 1, 1820, $4-524-272-16, and yet economy is but little thought. You farmers dread a direct tax but I :lo believe it would be the best thing that would happen-the people would then open their eyes. The republicans now are no better than the federalists were under the administration of John Adams. Their whole object is to secure something for themselves. Under the administration of Mr. Jefferson, although our revenue was not as great as it has been for the last three years, all the expenses of government were paid, and $40,000,000 of the debt extinguished, and this would be done again if Congress would only determine that it should be so. But in my opinion Congress is more extravagant than the executive branches of the government. I would vote for a direct tax of Sro,000,000 tomorrow, because I think it would be so unpopular as to throw every representative out of office who is now in, and bring about a change as it did in 1801, It is very unpopular here to talk of reducing our wages down to six dollars a day, eight dollars they say is little enough, a man who talks about six dollars a day it is the general opinion here has no soul. Yours, &c., WM. W. VANWYCK. 130 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 88 WILLIAM W. 6 VAN WYcK, of William,4 Judge Theoclorus,8 Theo clorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 b. Aug. 9, 1777; cl. Aug. 27, 1840; m.

While, she was standing at the door of her house at Elizabethtown, N. J., with her infant in her arms, she was mortally shot by the British. Her husband seeing that the Americans had no more wadding for their rifles, ran to the old First Presbyterian Church and seizing armfuls of Watt's hymn books threw them at the soldiers shouting: "Give 'em Watts, boys." For this he was called the" Fighting Parson." Gen. La Fayette passing at the time took a child home with him and afterwards educated him in France where he was brought up a Roman Catholic.

"The saintly Eliza," who died in the twentieth year of her age, possessed uncommon strength of understanding and maturity of judgment. Her mind was cultivated by an excellent education, and richly furnished with useful knowledge from reading and observation. But, though quali fied to shine in the world, her affections were early drawn out after a better country, even a heavenly. From her early childhood she displayed a serious, reflecting disposition and paid an unusually s"trict attention to the external duties of religion. She scrupulously observed the Sabbath, regularly waited upon God in public worship, and daily read the Bible and prayed to her heavenly Father. Some months previous to her decease, being advised by an acquaintance to divert her mind by reading some light, amusing works, such as bio graphy, pleasant histories, and the like; "My mind," she replied, "can find no interest in any history but that which relates to the kingdom of the bles~ed Redeemer. 11 3og Harriet, b.

General Abraham Van Wyck was born in the town of Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York, and was the youngest child of Dr. Theodorus Van Wyck and Altjc Brinckerhoff, daughter of Col. John Brinckerhoff.• Early in life he was thrown on his own resources, his mother dying at the time of his birth and his father when he was a lad of fifteen. Most of his education was received at th<.: nearby district school. He inherited part of the original tract purchased by his grandfather, Theodorus Van Wyck, in 1736, and to this he added more by purchase. In 1802 he built the house nearer the road and now owned by his granddaughter, Mrs. Richard T. Van Wyck. The land on which this house stands has been the longest of any in the possession of the Van Wyck family in America up to the present time. • A great personal friendship existed between General Washington, who was then in full powers of his manhooc\ and Col. John Brinckerhoff, who was some tUrty years hi~ elder, Whenever Washington could, he would accept the hospitality of this old home and would spend days together with' the Colonel and his family, of which General Abraham Van Wyclr was at that time the youngest grandson. 10 138 GllNKALuav oF TUE VAN WvcK FAMILY At an early age he inherited from his forefathers the patriotism manifested by the active interest he took in the affairs of the militia of the State and which continued through out his life. His military record at Albany in the office of the Adjutant General shows that he was appointed Lieutenant in the 149th Regiment, 30th Brigade, New York State Militia, on April 12, 1Poo; Captain, Feb. 20, 1804; Lieutenant-Colonel, April 11 1812 (the highest rank in the regiment from April 4, 1782, to May 1, 1816); Brigadier-General, Sept, 16, 1822. The records at Washington show that he was in the United States service as Lieutenant-Colonel from Aug. 18, 1814, to Sept. 2, 1814. During the War of 1812, in order to protect the frontier of the State, detachments were made from the militia and or ganized into regiments On June, 18 1 1812, he was assigned as Lieutenant-Colonel to command the 6th Regiment, 2d Brigade, New York Detached Militia. On July 31, 1813, the detached militia was reorganized and he was assigned to command jointly with Lieutenant-Colonel Isaac Belknap, Jr., 6th Regim.:11t of the 3rd Brigade. (At that time there were two Lieutenant-Colonels commanding a Regi- . ment.) Owing to the proximity of the British fleet under the com mand of Vice-Admiral Cochrane, the regiment was called into service Aug. 16, 1813, by general orders dated July 31, 1813. Again, in the summer of 1814, the British fleet aroused the citizens of New York to their immediate danger and they took extraordinary 111casures to defend the city and harbor. On Aug. 4, 1~14, a part of the militia was again called into service and he was again assigned to command jointly the same regiment, now a part of Brigadier-General Martin Heer mance's brigade. The regiment arrived at New York, Aug. 18, by sloop, and were that day stationed at Harlem Heights. (Probably somewhere on the high ground south of 129th Street between the Hudson and Harlem rivers.) Little or no preparations had been made providing for so large a body of men and for the first day they were without tents or straw. The inhabitants were few, but were willing to give all GENEALOGY OF TUE VAN WYCIC FAMILY 139 within their power from the first and donated their dwellings and barns during the unsettled state of the camp and contributed vegetables and food. As there were several intrenchments, forts and block houses located on these heights, probably these troops were assigned to their upbuilcling and guarding. On Sept. 30, 1814, Governor Tompkins referred to this brigade as being on duty in his message to the legislature, This regiment as a part of Brigadier-General Heermance's brigade, was received by Governor Tompkins Nov. IO, 1814 1 at Harlem Heights, and probably participated in the evacuation clay parade, Nov. 25, 1814. In 1816 his regiment was arranged as a Putnam County organization and in 1822 he was appointed General of the 30th Brigade, made up of Putnam and Dutchess County troops. He was active in the building of the Dutchess turnpike that extended from Poughkeepsie to Millbrook, and was a member of its board of di rectors. General Abraham was a man of great influence, exceptional ability and sterling integrity, and his advice was often sought and referred to, and no one's opinion in the community on any subject of business action carried greater weight than his. He had a marvelous faculty of seeing, in an emergency, the precise thing that should be done and he was much in demand in the settling of estates. For years he was a member, generous supporter and regular attendant of the Presbyterian Church at Brinckerhoff and took an active interest in its welfare and the betterment of the community. He had strong convictions and acted quickly upon them regardless of criticism. During the Civil War and up to the time of his death he was fearless and outspoken in behalf of the Union. This noble Christian and patriot passed away Feb. 3, 1864, at the ripe age of ninety years, and was buried with his kindred in the little Presbyterian churchyard at Brinckerhoff, New York. Extract of letter from the Secretary of War to HoN. WM. M. CALDER, M. C., w'ho wrote for information on behalf of James R. Van Wyck: "Upon a cursory examination of the official records it has been ascertained that many different men bearing the surname 140 GENEALOGY OF TUE VAN WYCK FAMILY Van Wy~k have participated in the various wars in which the United States has been engaged, To ascertain the names of all these men and to furnish such information as the records of the War Department afford relative to their military services, would require a very considerable search of the official records and an expenditure of much time and clerical labor, . . .

For the wedding cake eighty eggs were broken and the whole was mixed in a new tub. 129 SAMUEL H.5 VAN WvcK, of Samuel,4 Barent,8 Theodorus,2 Cor- nelius Barentse,1 b. at Woodbury, Oct. 14, 1775; d.

Was Sheriff for Dutchess County in 1819 and Member of Assembly in 1842. His house was built of brick and stone and was erected in 1768. The date is built in the west end in black brick.

All of the interior parti tions of the house are r-,,lid walls of brick or stone. It was built, I have been told by a Verplank, and came into the possession of the Van Wyck family through Col. Richard C. Van Wyck. It contains nineteen rooms. The largest is 18 x 32 ¾ feet ( the parlor), and the smallest 9¾ x 3¾ feet, and was used as an office by Col. Richard. Two life size portraits in oil of Col. Richard and his second wife, Ann Bloodgood, still adorn the parlor walls. A large hall runs the entire width of the house, with carved wainscoting 3 3-4 feet high. A beautiful arch is in the middle of the hall. The double door in the front is most quaint, with its two heavy glass "bull's eye" lights and old brass kr.'lcker. Eight of the windows down stairs have sills deep enough for seats. All of the windows at the back of the house on the lower floor have tight wooden shutters. Upstairs, as the dormer windows were in their original state, one was obliged to stand on a chair or step ladder to look out of doors. All of these but one were made lower for convenience and better ven tilation, about twenty years ago. During Col. Richard's life time, a wooden addition of front and back kitchens was built on the east end, so what was the original kitchen was taken as a dining room. There are three steps down to this room from the other part of the house and there used to be a door at both the top and bottom of these steps. The lower one contains a single pane of glass, where, it is said, in slave days the master could look through without being heard, and oversee the kitchen doings. 206 ABRAHAM D.0 VAN WvcK, of Cornelius R.,r.

A place uf traditional interest is the site of the residence of John C. Van Wyck. Robert Brett, son of Madam Brett lived in a house where this house now stands and where in the autumn of 1776 a session of the first constitutional convention was held. He gave the use of his house to Samuel London, who had been publishing a paper in New York up to the time of its evacuation, and here was the only paper that could be found publishing the news of public interest. The Constitution uf the State of New York as adapted at Kingston, N. Y., was printed in this old house in 1777, it being the first as well as the most important book ever ;>ublished in the State. The old house was taken down soon after the Revolution and in 1800 this house was erected. 251 MARGARET6 VAN WvcK, of Cornelius c., 6 Cornelius c., 4 Cor nelius,3 Theodorus? Cornelius Barentse,1 b.

J., March 21, 1878. Miss Anne Van Wyck, DEAR MADAME: Your communication of March 12 is received. The family records are in the hands of my brother, Theodore Van vVyck, of East Fishkill, P. 0. Address: Johnsonville, Dutchess Co., N. Y. The oldest records are with Henry Van Wyck, Low Point, Dutchess Co., P. 0., vVappinger. I presume many occurrences of interest were lost to us by the change from the Dutch to the English language. My grandfather conversed in Dutch, although English was spoken in the family. My great grandfather w.as Theodorus, who was born on Long Island, and was one of the brothers who settled in Fishkill in 1736. One settled near Fishkill Village, one at Hopewell, and my ancestor at Fishkill Hook, all in the pre cinct now divided into four towns. He bought 900 acres of land, at 20s. an acre, of Madame Brett, nee Catherine Rom bout, daughter of Francis, the original Patentee. Much of this land is still in the possession of the descendants of the original purchaser. The deed is a heautiful specimen of penmanship, written in English, with special clauses inserted granting the right of "Fishing, fowling, and hunting, but reserving to the King of England all the mines and mill sites. But for such no one had the right to kill a bird of prey without the consent of an English officer." I have a copy in print of the Wicopee Indian Deed to the purchasers of Fishkill Precinct signed by ten chiefs. They lived on and cultivated a part of the 5)00 acres but removed to Stockbridge, Mass., before the Revolution. My grandfather on my father's side was William Van Wyck. He attended the Dutch Church. but married an English woman who attended the Presbyterian Church at Red Mills, eighteen miles distant. She went on horseback attended by a slave. My grandfather was a Whig and a Magistrate during the Revolution. He was present at the great War Meeting, and his name stands in Blalu's History as an enemy of King George III. GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 175 He died about 1798. When he was a boy the Wicopee In dians came often to the house, especially the boys, to play and eat with him. These visits were returned, but on one occasion when the Indians were in pursuit of a bear my grandfather hap pened in the hut and, looking in the kettle of succotash, saw the leg of a dead horse with which the squaw was seasoning the meal. He dined at home after that but continued to enter tain the Indian boys. It was during his boyhood that four Indians came up from Long Island especially to kill a Wicopee to avenge the death of one of their tribe who had been killed to satisfy the Great Spirit, who must have blood for blood. They found an In dian alone ·and killed him. The white people buried him in the swamp now cleared and called Bartley Meadow, on the farm of James Van vVyck, grandson of Theodorus. My grandfather on my mother's side was Joseph Young, of \Vhite Plains. He was brother-in-law to Isaac Van \\Tart, one of th•e captors of Major Andre. He was an active Whig and for some time a prisoner of the British in New York City. He was the Young mentioned in Capt. Barnum's History of Tlzc Spy, who un masked Enoch Crosby. Crosby informed Young of a com pany about to join the British Army and they were captured. Young's barn and contents were burned by the British. His stone house was occupied as a place of refuge alternately. vVhen the Americans were there no one could go to the spring for water without being shot at. My aunt volunteered to get water and the soldiers followed her in and captured the in mates. My grandfather, to escape the British Tories, cowboys and skinners, left the neutral ground and lived in Dutchess County until the close of the war. My father, Theodorus, was a Presbyterian, a Whig during the Revolution, and Presidential Elector for James Monroe in 1820. He died in February, 1823, aged 66.

Brother Theodorus lives at East Fishkill, aged Sr. I am with my chil dren in Newark, am nearly 83 years of age, am a Republican and attend the :rvr ethodist Church. During the Revolution the Jay family at Bedford, Westches ter County, for safety, left their house and lived in Fishkill Hook, on what is now James Van 'vVyck's place, then owned by Theodorus. Old Mrs. Jay was a widow (th mother of John Jay, afterwards Governor of New York). He was an active Whig, an influential public man on the Committee of Safety and away from home the most of the time. Mrs. Jay would often spend the day at my grandfather William Van Wyck's house. My father would take her home. In the winter of Ii8o, with the snow six feet deep, he_ upset the old lady, no hann done but the slave was called upon to drive the team after ward. I may add to my statement that the Van Wycks occupied a very honorable social position in Fishkill fifty years ago; Gen. John B. was Brigadier-General in the :Militia and a member of the Legislature; Gen. Abraham was also Brigadier-General, both grandsons of Judge Theodorus and Eliza; Isaac was a member of the Legislature and his grandsons still own his lands ; Theodorus, Richard and Col. Richard were also at different times members of Assembly. 1Iy father was Presidential Elector and my uncle 'William \V. was a member of Congress for four years. Many individuals of our name have been in fluential and useful citizens. In speaking of the \Vicopce Indians, their attachment to my grandfather William was such that they made a yearly visit to him and also to my father. One of the tribe, Elijah Pye, with his family, came every year from Stockbridge to see us. They would put up a bark hut in the woods and make baskets, brooms and shovels to sell. About 18og two sons and a daughter were with him. I often played with Indian boys, sliding with my shoes while they had their bare feet on the ice. For a test of marksmanship I would put an apple on a post which they sel dom missed. When I wanted to find the Indian boys I would GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 177 track them in the mud or snow by their footprints with heels apart and toes together, a peculiarity among \,Vestern Indians. The daughter was tall and graceful with long black hair and ornamental clothes. A blue head dress with feather like the top gallant in a cornfield. She would have been a belle among her Mohican associates, but the exposure of her feet made them appear to a disadvantage. She was, however, a fair example of partial Indian civilization. WILLIAM VAN WYCK. P. S.-I would suggest that an important item in the history of the Van Wyck family of Fishkill would be to state their position and course of action during the Revolutionary \,Var, which may be found in Blake's History of Putnam County, for merly in Dutchess County. 277 Sus,\N° VAN WYcK, of Theodorus W.,6 William,4 Judge Theo dorus,8 Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 b.

The Walsh family, says Burke, came to Ireland, A. D. n70, with Strongbow, and settled in County Kilkenny, where they acquired large possessions now known as the "Walsh Moun tains," in the barony of I verk. These possessions were con fiscated during the Cromwellian period and in the reign of William III, after which members of the elder branch immi grated to France and Austria, and to<;!k military !;ervice in those countries. In France the title of "Count Serrant," still extant, was conferred upon the first representative of the elder branch. The first of the family who came to Ireland with Strongbow was Philip \Valsh, who was called by the Irish "Brannagh" (or the Welshman). He particularly distinguished himself in II74 at a naval engagement against the Danes at Cork by boarding the ship of their commander and slaying his son. Rayle Walsh, son of the first Philip by his wife, Eleanor, daughter of Sir Maurice DeBurgh, built the castle in the Walsh Mountains called after him "Castle Hayle." He married Catherine LeGros and founded the numerous and emigrant Irish family of Walsh. The Walsh family of North Troy, New York, was founded in Lansingburgh in the year 1799 by Alexander ·walsh, of Tyrone County, Ireland. By the marriage of his son, Alexander, to Ann Van \Vyck, an alliance was formed with one of the oldest Dutch families of the Hudson Valley. By the marriage of his grandson, Alexander," two English families, Barton and Bird, were united with Irish and Dutch blood. These four family lines have been traced to the American emigrant, and connect collaterally with many noted New England families: Arnold, Carver, Alden and others. The Bartons are a noted Revolu tionary family. 281 8ARLow0 VAN WvcK, of William W.," William,4 Judge Theo dorus,8 Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentsc,1 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 179 b.

J::unes Van Wyck, the youngest son of General Abraham Van Wyck and Susan Haight, was born at Wiccopec (Johnsville), East Fishkill, K. Y., at the residence nearer the. road, built by his fath,er. 190 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY He began his education at the district school and completed it at the Polytechnic Institute, Chattenango, N. Y. This was a noted school in those days, of which the Rev. Dr. Yates was principal. After leaving school he returned to his home and there fol lowed the vocation of farming. In early life he was identified with the Militia. On Nov. 12, 1834, at the age of twenty-four, he married Cor nelia Ann, daughter of Richard T. Van Wyck, then a girl of eighteen, and two sons were born to them. The death of his young wife, at twenty-five, who was greatly beloved in the community, was a sad ending to their brief mar ried life, leaving to him the care of two infants. He joined the Presbyterian Church at an early age and served faithfully as a deacon and as an elder. After the burning of the church, March 5, 1866, he was a member of a committee to con sider the advisability of re-building, or of locating it in some nearby village. It was finally decided after considering all sides of the situation to continue hokling the church services in the Johnsville school house on the third Sunday in each month. As the church was then without a pastor and as most of the time he was the ruling elder, the affairs rested largely in his hands and continued so until it was finally dissolved in 1885. He then transferred his membership to the Hopewell Reformed Church, where he regularly attended, notwithstanding the fact that it was a long and tedious ride of some five miles. A friend says of him: "One saw the excellency of his char acter the more closely they became acquainted with him, and this grew the longer you knew him, manifesting itself not only in clear words and eloquence of speech, but iu his kindness and gentleness of manner, which made you feel he was a friend of God and a friend of man." On October 3, 1849, he married Elizabeth Margaret, daugh ter of Nicholas and Maria Henshaw Van Brunt. There were no children. This excellent and amiable wife was a person of rare ability and unusual accomplishments. A cordial welcome awaited those who vis:ted their hospitable home. They lived to celebrate their golden wedding, October 3, 1899. GENEALOGY' OF THE VAN WY'CK FAMILY 191 On July i, 1903, he passed away in his ninety-third year and was buried in the cemetery where formerly stood the church he had so faithfully served. 329 ANNA EL1zA6 BAILEY, of Gen.

He was second in command under Admiral Farragut at New Orleans, when he was sent to demand her surrender. In his official report are these words: "It was a contest of iron hearts in wooden ves sels against iron clads with iron beaks, and the iron hearts won." On July 25, 1866, he received his commission as Rear Admiral. In 1876 he was retired. On Dec. 5, 1890, the torpedo boat destroyer Bailey was christened by his granddaughter Florence, (No. 1340), and the family presented it with a loving cup in his honor bearing his memorable words. 338 JOHN W1LLIAM 6 BAILEY, of Judge William,6 Altje, 1 Judge Theo dorus,8 Theodorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 b. 1807; m.

He was so much pleased with his visit that he presented Mrs. Ketcham, the great-grand mother of Walter and Frederick Van Wyck, with a gold ring. This seems to be of especial interest, as they now occupy the premises, although the old house has been destroyed by fire. The spring is still in use that served as a refrigerator in those days. From H. C. Platt's Old Times in rluntington we learn that President Washington journeyed on the south side of Long Island as far as Patchogue, then he crossed the island to Smith town and returned through .Huntington, Oyster i.lay, Hemp stead, and Flushing.

Miss Anna Van Wyck, whose death was recorded on Jan. 30th, 1891, was the second daughter of the late Theoclorus Van Wyck, of Woodbury, L. I., and a woman highly esteemed. She was a lady of the old school, seldom away from her ancestral home, tall, handsome, dignified in bearing with a remarkably sweet engaging voice and a strong sense of justice in all things. That she will be greatly missed by her intimate friends is expressing but feebly their sentiments. As one near and clear to her remarked, "She was a power in the family." For many years the eldest of nine grown children she was looked up to as the head of the household, and Sister Ann's judg ment reigned supreme. When taken ill it was feared she would not rally and she suddenly passed away sleeping her last sleep while tender voices were calling her to awaken. She lies in the Huntington Rural Ceme tery beside her parents. "He giveth his beloved sleep." 200 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 838 Selah, b. Sept. 5, 1827; d, May 24, 1896, unm. 839 John, b.

The beginning of this book was at the homestead of Theo dore Van Wyck (No. 49). On July 31st, 1877, the compiler, with her brother Whitehead H. Van Wyck and young niece Helen, called on Mr. Theodorus Van Wyck (No. 371), of Wood bury, who then occupied it with his family, to find out just how he was related to their uncle Samuel A. Van Wyck (No. 392), of West Neck, who called him cousin. They were pleasantly entertained by Mr. Van Wyck with family traditions. He then took them to the graveyard on the farm and also showed them the graves of Barent and hi3 wife. The compiler's enthusiasm was so aroused that on Aug. 1st she visited the Baptist Cemetery at Oyster Bay, L. I., where she found the graves of Capt. Abraham and his wife. On the 23rd of August she called on Mr. Henry Onderkonk, Jr., of Jamaica, who brought her the name of the Hollander on Aug. 25. This was quickly followed by other information, and in two months she had her line of ancestors with the location of the graves. Since then, with information from various sources, it has grown to its present dimensions. Mr. Van Wyck had one of the original copies of the Coat-of-Arms sent from Holland in early days. It is now in the possession of his son T. C. Van Wyck. Judge Augustus, Jacob T., and the Rev. John Cornell also have original copies. Homestead of Theodorus Van Wyck, Woodbury, L.

Onder donk, Jr.: "In 1816, Peter Montfort Van Wyck, Theodorus and Peter Montfort, John Rapelyea and William Woolley from Fishkill, rode on horseback to Long Island and stayed at our house and elsewhere and went about visiting their friends or as they called it ·'going to see the girls.' They visited John Tredwell's on the hill, Cow Neck; thought Hannah a fine, handsome girl. Wh~n told that she was engaged to Col. Townsend, thought that he was too old for her. They also asked my eldest brother Adrian to come up to Fishkill and escort thither Miss Elizabeth Van Wyck of West Neck, for they had visited at your grandfather's in company. His words arc: 'If you have a great desire to come to Hopewell and see me you will oblige me and I hope will oblige yourself in going to Huntington and fetch Miss Elizabeth Van vVyck, whic11 is a feat worthy of any young man's performance. '! ' GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 205 Though you put yourself somewhat out of your way, think of your own interest and that you will oblige me and all of your Dutchess Co. friends. One of our Dutchess Co. girls in a few days will be on the Hill on a visit at Miss Hannah Tredwell's house. Mount your horse and trot him up here in forty hours. Come to see your cousins and the great place we call Dutchess Co. 'But you think so much of your Neck.' 'Miss Woolley, a mrJ3t darling and valuable lady of Beek man (Precinct), has not i·een down to the Island yet.' He urged my brother in two letters to bring Miss E. V. W. to Hopewell.'' Th.: Hewlett family are of English origin. Many of their names are found among the clergy and, like their ancestors, they are still strongly attached to the Church of England. As a people they have no political aspirations, but prefer the social position in their hospitable homes where friends always find good cheer and a hearty welcome. The published records are uncertain but there were probably several emigrations to America. They were in Hempstead at the division of lands in 1645, and one George was a planter at Merock, L.1., in 1660. This George, b. 1634; m.

Van Wyck, Colonel of Volunteers and Brevet-Brigadier General, U.S. Army, and member of the 36th, 37th, 40th and 41st Congresses from New York, and United States Senator from Nebraska, 1881-871 was born at Pough keepsie, N. Y., May IO, 1824; died at Washington, D. C., Oct. 24, 1895. He was by inheritance favored with qualities of greatness, vigor, forcefulness, keen intellect, strong impulse and great self-possession. At the age of eighteen he graduated from. Rutg'!rs College, N'ew Jersey, studied law and was ad mitted to the Bar. He settled in Sullivan County where he practiced his profession and from 1850 to 1856 was District Attorney. While a member of the 36th and 37th Congresses he served in the Volunteer Army as Colonel and for meritorious service he was brevetted Brigadier-General in 1865. In 1874 he removed to Nebraska and a year later was chosen a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention. He was State Senator from 1876 to 1880, and United States Senator from March 41 1881, until Mar.ch 4, 1887. His speeches were eloquent, earnest, elaborate and exhaustive. He established the fact that he was not to be worsted by argument, or quieted by threat or chal lenge. ,His strong personality, his aggressive qualities, and his strongly pronounced an ti-monopoly sen ti men ts at once at tracted the attention of the people. He became a power to be dreaded by financial interests and when he was nominated for Governor in 1892 he was defeated by the array of combined interests which would have been affected through the prin- ciples he advocated. . There were many attributes of greatness in his character, even recognized by his most active opponents, but whatever difference of opinion may have been between the General and his neighbors upon political or economic questions, there is not one of all those who knew him other than as a sympathetic and generous citizen. The poor and the friendless mourned him. His career in Nebraska connects his name indelibly with the history of the State. 550 CORNELIUS S.; VAN WvcK, of Stephen D.,6 Cornelius R.,6 Major Richard,4 Cornelius,8 Theodorus,1 Cornelius Barentse,1 '1111'.0DOIWS V.-\N \1'YCK lll{INJ,;LIHIOII' GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 229 b.

It is five feet, six inches high and contains six secret drawers beside a place to secrete silverware. It has been mentioned in family wills for two hundred years as the chest of drawers. Tunis Brind:,,,hoff, born 1697, lived to be eighty-seven and left it to his only son George. It afterwards descended to Tunis, his great-great-grandson. For more than twenty years Joris transacted business, public and private, at this desk. It was lately in the possession of Theodorus Van Wyck Brinkerhoff. In one drawer were antique knee buckles and odd buttons, also old deeds, maps of land, dating back over two hundred years, old wills, bonds and obligations settled over a hundred and fifty years. The Brinckerhoff Bible was read with delight by a Dutch maid of Mrs. George Brinkerhoff who died in 1847, aged ninety-six years. As she became attached to it the old lady gave it to her. The girl returned to Holland and the valuable Brinckerhoff records crossed the sea with her.

Of a most trustworthy character, generous to a fault, warm hearted and interested in all with whom life brought him in touch, combined with a most fascinating anc! graceful personality and keen intellect, no man ever won more friends wherever he lived. He made his life a glorious success in the love which he won from all classes and the good which his sanctified character enabled him to do. He fitted for Yale College, but his health was unequal to taking the course. He spent a winter in riding on horseback from New York to Selma, Alabama, and back to Washington, about 1840. He then saw the slave system at its height and 232 GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY well understood the noble character of the best classes of southern people and the evils of the system entailed upon them by their forebears. He next took the law course at Yale, but was not strong enough to practice his profession. He lived abroad for four years, 1844-48. This was for him a period of hard study and observation. The fruits of which he gave forth all his life in most interesting talks and lectures on history, ancient and modern. He removed to the West and lived in Wisconsin the greater part of his life. He became very prominent and popular in the State from 1860-70, being eight successive years in the Legis lature; he also was actually elected Governor on the Republican ticket, though it was not so proclaimed. He later engaged in banking at Marietta. He was said at that time to be the most accomplished man in Georgia. Greek and Latin, French and Italian, were his usual evening recreations. He was ever foremost in Church and Sunday School work, being dearly loved by young people and children as he ever loved them. To do his "Master's Will" was the watch word of his life. All other interests were subordinate to that. The closing years of his life were again spent in Wisconsin, where he was Judge in Kenosha County for sixteen years. 564 ;\JARIA Trnnotrr7 VAN WvcK, of Jacob G.,6 Theoclorus R./' Major Richarcl,4 Cornelius,3 Theoclorus,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 m.

Began practicing his profession in Brooklyn, but at a noon day prayer meeting (an innovation in those days) he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. Believing that he had a call to preach the Gospel, he gave up the law, much to the disappointment of his friends, and began his life work in Michigan. RF.V. ,\IIIUll,\~I J, VAN lvYCK l!ICIIARIJ ·1. VAN \\'YCK GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 263 No one knows, except those who have tried it, and the members of the family who have shared it, what a sacrifice it meant to leave the East and a home of plenty aud go to Michigan in those early days and live the life of a preacher. With the exception of ten years on his farm he continue.cl his good work until his summons came. A ministerial friend writes of him as follows: "My acquaintance with Rev. Abraham J. Van Wyck began in 1869. He was then pastor of the M. E. Church in New Buffalo, Michigan. I was at Waverly, Michigan, first charge in the ministry. Our acquaintance ripened into a very close friendship. He was a man of unusual strength of character. He read the best books, thought the best thoughts, spoke the best 1vords, and did the best things. As a preacher he was scriptural, logical, forceful and spiritual. A man of few words and clean life; a scholar, a student, a christian gentleman. He was pastor of the following charges in the Michigan conference: Ganges, South Haven, Breedsville and Lawrence, together, Middleville, Second Street, Grand Rapids, Galesburg, Otsego, New Buffalo, Benton Harbor, Monterey, Newaygo and Casnovia, and of him it could be said, 'he, his labor with his life laid down.'

The house is of historic interest as being one of the early ones built by the family in 1740, and also as having been occupied by Gov. John Jay. The farm of 414 acres remained unbrokenly in the family un ti! 1905, when half was sold. After the death of his mother, the faithful housekeeper, Rachel Wright, assumed the care and responsibility of Abraham and Richard, un ti! their father married eleven years later. He was educated at the home school and later at Rye, N. Y., and Northampton, Mass. The Civil War changed his plans and he enrolled Oct. 4, 1862. On the IIth he was mustered in as Corporal, Company K, 150th Regiment of New York Volun teers. Promoted to Sergeant· prior to April, 1864. Com missioned First Lieutenant, May 31, 1865. He had only one day's furlough until he was mustered out with his regiment at Washington, D. C., June 8, 1865. "He reached home June IO, well in mind and body," memorandum of his stepmother. He was in the Army of the Potomac and later transferred to the Army of the Cumberland. He was at the battles of Gettys burgh, Resaca, Dallas, and Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, also with Sherman in his " March to the Sea." He returned to his old home and began farming in earnest buying from his father the house of Gen. Abraham Van Wyck, built between 1801-03, and the 207 acres adjoining. His widow still lives there and it has been the longest continuously in the Van Wyck name of any of the lands owned by the en tire family. He was well qualified to enter into public life but was naturally dignified and reserved, disliking all efforts on the part of others to bring him into p~ominence. Born with high religious principles, together with a high sense of honor and courage of his convictions he won the confidence of all with whom he came in con tact.

His aptitude for the languages led his instructors to wish him to take a College course. He preferred however to begin a business career and continue to study. It was his habit each morning to read forty words from an open dictionary which he kept in his room and each GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 277 night he read a chapter from the Greek Testament. He was an expert accountant. While attending to business he had a boy to read aloud to him the literature of the day. He was very tall with a charming personality, having inherited the beauty of his mother and the calm unruffled disposition of his grandmother Fleet. One evening he went skating out of the city and returned to Denver on the outside of a crowded car, contracting a severe cold which resulted in pneumonia. His brother Albert went to him and everything possible was clone by kind Western friends. The manager of the company came home with his body. 1422 Albert Barent, b.

Whitehead Hewlett Van Wyck was born at the corner of Fulton and Union Hall Streets, Jamaica, Long Island, on March 7, 1838. He was educated by the Rev. Edward F. Edwards of St. John's Church, Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., and also at Columbia College. He studied law and practiced in New York City. He was a generous hearted, genial companion, a good story teller, an honest, brilliant lawyer, with the rights of the poor always uppermost in his thoughts; a staunch democrat, an expert marksman, an enthusiastic angler, and a lover of fine horses and blooded stock in general. In 1881 he retired from active practice and devoted himself to his family and the homestead at West Neck. He died May 26, 1888, aged fifty years. His only regret was that he had not been born at the homestead which he inherited from his uncle, Samuel A. Van Wyck. 899 SAMUEL lVLWERICK; VAN \VvcK, M.

Augustus Van Wyck is 58 years ol casting their votes for Mr. Cleveland for President, which under the unit rule, resulted in his nomination for President.. He again conducted the campaign for Mr. Cleveland. Thereafter, he was elected to the bench, where he rendered good service until he was called upon to make the race for Governor, against his desire; he, apparently, being the only one the Democracy could at that time unite upon. He loved his work upon the bench; it was congenial and he was especially fitted therefor, and regretted retiring therefrom, though he refused several nominations thereafter which would have returned him to that service. He at once, after this campaign, became a vigorous and successful practitioner at the bar, of which he is now one of the acknowledged leaders. He can be seen daily in our courts, conducting a general practice of his profession. He stands high before all the courts of the State, both trial and appellate, as well as the United States Courts. He has always been ready to help his party by advice and in the forum. He has attended many local, State and national conventions, urging the best action for country and party. In the national convention of 1900, he was selected as New York's member of the Platform Committee, which he held in con secutive session for about fourteen hours in the discussion of his views in the interest of harmonizing his party upon the platform. It was a memorable contest. He was for a number of years a member of the Democratic State Committee, and has always given earnest support to his party, but always been insistent upon high ideals. Again he suggested a plan for the restoration of his party to power in Kings County in 1909, and consented, though at great cost to himself in the loss of pleasure and comfort of his library, as well as his work in the courts, to head the committee to take charge of party affairs, confided to him and his associates by the unanimously combined action of the regular County Leader and the District Leaders. This resulted in the election of the county ticket and contributed to the election of Judge Gaynor as Mayor of New York City. He then consented to help as a private in the New York State League, which was modelled after his Kings County plan, and w!1ich was doubtless very helpful to the success of the State ticket in the succ,~cding year. GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCK FAMILY 281 Judge Van Wyck was chief counsel for Senator Conger in the trial of his charges against Senator Allds which terminated in the conviction of Allds by the Senators, who had less than three months before elected him as President pro fem of that body, clothing him thereby with all the powers of leadership of the then majority party. This conviction is a unique exception to the usual result of such trials, to the great and lasting honor of the Senate of New York State. Judge Van Wyck has always been active, also, along the lines of educational, charitable, church and social work. He has been trustee of schools and collegiate institutions and hospitals, and a leading lay member of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Long Island of the Episcopal Church. He has been President of the New York Hollaild Society, the Southern Society, The North Carolina Society, The South Carolinians and The New York Alumni Association of North Carolina University, as well as Grand Master of Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America, a Greek letter society of the colleges, and Trustee of the New England Society of Brooklyn. He is a member of the Lincoln, Oxford, Brooklyn, Crescent Athletic, Hamilton and Montauk Clubs of Brooklyn, and of the Lawyers, Manhattan, and National Democratic Clubs of Manhattan. }fo married Miss Leila G. Wilkins of Richmond, Virginia. They have two children: William Van Wyck of Brooklyn, formerly Assistant District Attorney of Kings County, and Mrs. James W. Osborne of New York City, wife of James W. Osborne, formerly Assistant District Attorney of New York County. His only living brother is Judge Robert A. Van Wyck, first Mayor of Greater City of New York; and his only living sister is the wife of General Robert F. Hoke of Raleigh, North Carolina. Judge Van Wyck has a most extensive acquaintance in all parts of the country. 90'7 LYDIA ANN MAvERICK7 VAN WvcK, of William," Abraham,r.

Thomas, and removed to Cornell's Neck, Westchester County. He bought, after the partition sale, the easterly half of the Willett's estate (385 acres), June, 1784. This property was sold in 1793 to Isaac Clason and has since been called Clason's Point. The deed from the Willett's partition sale by Justice Hobart was never recorded. It was found by Mr. Morris among the papers of his great-grandfather and he presented it to the compiler. The land is beautifully located on the water and is now a pleasure resort. A part of the old house still stands with stone walls 2.½ feet thick. Opposite this on the c;>ther side of Long Island Sound is the land of Samuel H. Van Wyck (No. 129), now called Witzel's Grove.

Johannes Van Wyck, second son of Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck, was born at Flatbush. He settled in Flushing at the head of Little Neck Bay, a beau tiful spot in full view of the Bay and Long Island Sound. The stone house and homestead have long since been torn down and the second house built by him is now known as the "Douglass Cottage," from its present owner, Earl Doug lass. This homestead he left by will to his son W'illiam when he became of age. Feb. 28, 1705, Richard Cornell, of Flushing, Queens Co., deeded to Johannes Van vVyck forty acres, east side of Little N eek for £ 50. March II, 1706, Richard and Sarah Cornell deeded to Johannes Van \Vyck certain land lying in Flushing, near Little Neck, bounded in part by Benj. Haviland and Tl10s. Hicks, fifty acres for £ 125. March II, 1706, Richard Cor nell, deeded Meadow land bounded north by Benj. Hicks, south by Isaac Hicks. March II, 1706, Johannes Van Wyck and Phebe, his wife, sold to John Sorrel, jr., two twenty-acre lots in Flushing for £65. Bounded south by Vim. Lawrence, west by John---, north and east by John Rodman. 1708, Richard and Sarah Cornell sold to John and Phebe Van Wyck, twenty-two acres north of Success Pond. 1732, Johannes, of Flushing, bought land at Newton. 1732, Johannes bought one hundred and forty acres of land adjoin ing his home farm of Kitchen. This land he gave to his son Cornelius. After his father's death, Curnelius being the eldest son and heir-at-law, wanted the home farm which had been left by will to William. When William came of age Cornelius bought the farm of two hundred acres of land for £170, and this property was owned by the Van Wyck family and their descendants until 1819, when Major Cornelius sold 125 acres to Wynant Van Zandt for $13,750, after which it ~;g~t~.2;,:,~--,0*T'1:,__ . ·.• .-~~ ,..- ~_:: Reformed Dutch Church, Jrnnaica, L.

GENEALOGY OF THE VAN WYCIC FAMILY 385 all soon passed out of the family and has since been cut up into building sites and sold. An old "Burying Ground" where the Hicks family and many of the Van Wycks, who successively owned the prop erty, arc buried is on this place. Its desecration has been so complete that but for a few isolated stones that mark the spot, this place of burial of some of the oldest Long Islanders is a thing of the past. Johannes was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church at Jamaica, and his name is always associated with that of Theodorus, his elder brother relating thereto. In all Church matters he took great interest, and was earnest in advancing the Christian religion in this, the then new country. In 1715 Theodorus and Johannes gave £8 each to the Reformed Dutch Church at Jamaica. In 1731, Johannes joined the Dutch Church in Brooklyn on certificate. April 14, 1731, Johannes subscribed to the Dutch Reformed Church, Success, and after his death his place (as it is expressed) in Success Church falls to his sons, John and Theodorus, and his daughter Betty. May 2, 1734, Johannes petitioned to the General Assembly to be naturalized. Owing to the destruction of the records of the town of Flushing by fire, we lose this valuable source of information concerning its inhabitants. That he was in character a christian gentleman, a loving husband, and a kind father, may be inferred from the only testimony we have of him, that of his will, which is very expressive. I cannot do better than give the language of this old document from the records in the Surrogate's Office in New York City: "In the name of Goo AMEN, This 8th clay of Feb., 1728, Johannes Van Wyck of the township of Flushing, Queens Co., in New York Province, Esq., being by Goo's blessing in bodily health & of perfect mind, and memory calling to mind the mortality of my body, knowing it is appointed unto all men once to dye, do make, ordain, and constitute this my last Will and Testament and principally and first of all, I give and recommend my soul into the hands of Goo that gaveth me.

From a lengthy article in the New York Tn'bune, Oct. 18, 1891, we glean the following: "An old New Yorker, Col. William Edward Van Wyck whose familiar face is seen about town was born in the house in which he still lives, at num ber 216 West 21st street, on March 21, 1841. His father John T. Van Wyck, the Banker, bought one of the six brick houses built at that time in the suburban section known as Love Lane. He became known as an athlete at the gymna sium and attracted attention by raising a 100 lb. dumb-bell. He was President of the N. Y. Athle tic Club for four years and had the Club incorpo rated. Mr. Van Wyck ran and won the first gold medal for the first mile race that ever took place in the Club. He joined the Seventh Regiment in 1860 and went with it to the War in 1861. He was brevet ted Major, Lieutenant-Col. and Colonel for meri torious service during the War. GU'i. WM. I' .. VAN \,'YC!s GENEALOGY OF 'l'm: VAN WYCK FAMILY 405 During the Draft Riot in 1863 while he was home on a leave of absence he performed volun tary duty on the staff of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler and was highly complimented in general orders. He became Capt. of Company F, Ninth Regiment, and that was the Banner Co. in the Orange Riot of 1872. He was Lieut.-Col. and Colonel of the Sixth Regiment and later Adjutan t-Gencral of the Second Brigade. He is from one of the oldest Knickerbocker families of Gotham, still an active and enthusiastic member of the N. Y. Athletic Club, a well known road driver as he has been riding and driving his own blooded stock through Central Park for the last twenty-five years. He is a Republican, a member of the Holland Society, Liederkranz, State Military Club, Grand Army of the Republic, Army of the Potomac, 7th Regiment War Veter ans, and many others. On Oct. 28, 1885, the Vene zuelan Government decorated him with the Order of the Bust of Gen. Bolivar. Colonel Van Wyck has a frank countenance with executive ability showing in the lines of his face expre~sing decis ion and judgement. He is finely built, being nearly six feet tall and as straight as an arrow. Later we note that Colonel Van Wyck became a Son of the Revolution through Cornelius Van Wyck, Deputy for Queens Co., to the Third Pro vincial Congress. At the time that Admiral George Dewey made his triumphal entry into New York after his brav ery throughout the Spanish-American War, Col. William E. Van Wyck was Marshall of the Day." +2330 Annie, m.

Survivors from the last raft brought accounts of the heroism of the beautiful woman in grey. To the timid she inspired confidence, to the doubtful she brought encouragement, to the brave she seemed heroic. With her rich contralto voice she lead in the sing ing of familiar hymns. All who could joined with her and the rest did not despair while she was fearless. She went about the breaking deck un moved, calm, and courageous. On the wreck was an athlete returning to Victoria. Though a stran ger he urged he, to go on a raft promising to de vote his strength to saving her. She declined to go and he remained with her. At the end they were seen in the rigging while she sang "Eternal Father Strong to Save." Her body was brought to San Francisco and crowded Trinity church told of the impression her bravery had made in her home city. Her brother Sidn~y went to the scene of the wreck within a few clays, making the journey from Victoria west, a distance of about 100 miles on a tug, and realized what she endured. Dressed in the warmest possible clothing, with a heavy over coat besides a raincoat, also a shawl, found the bit terly cold wind almost unencluarable; yet a robust man, in good health, well supplied with food on the tug and clothing dry. She for thirty-six hours was in the same biting wind, insufficiently clad, wet to the skin, and with GENEALOGY OF TUE VAN WYCK FAMILY 415 death staring her in the face and ultimately over taking her, and yet she preserved her composure, cheering those who were near. She proved herself a worthy descendant of her Nederland ancestors who faced the terrors of the Inquisition without wavering, and made Holland a synonym for un flinching facing of danger. 2328 EDELIZA7 VAN WvcK, of John T.,6 Stephen,6 Cornelius,• Cor nelius,8 Johannes,2 Cornelius Barentse,1 m.

He had a second wife, Sarah, in 1714, NOT PLACED B. W. Van Wyck of Poughkeepsie sent the following in 1878: DEAR MADAM: Yours at hand and in reply would say there is no mark at the grave of my grandfather Samuel Van Wyck. My mother tells me that grandmother Van W:,ck died in 1828, aged about 63 years. There was but little difference in their ages. Gr;,ndfather died some years previously. Grandmother was Keturah Sammis, daughter of Job of Hempstead. They were married there and had one daughter and left Long Island about a year after and came to Dutchess County. When he was born or died I cannot tell. Mother will look over the records at the Presbyterian Church, Pleasant Valley, and see if anything can be learned. Grandmother had all her children baptized there. I fail to sec how you can get another generation in between Theodorus and Samuel, my grandfather Benj. W., born 1834, Charles, born 1804, Samuel, born about 1760 or 65. Still it may be so. Col. Richard of Fishkill came to see our family about 25 years ago and said he thought that grandfather and his father were brothers (not so). He ought to know but I cannot say. 1 will try to get the matter in shape but it is very meagre to work upon. After much correspondence the following was put into shape. It has been impossible to place Samuel. A widow Van Wyck, who had been a Sammis, m. (2) -- Ketcham, and had son Israel Ketcham; for a third husband she m. --Mayes or Mapes I was told.

A VANWYCK FAMILY ASSOCIATION ABOUT TO BE INCORPORATED A Van Wyck Family Association is about to be incor porated under the Membership Corporations Law of the State of New York. Its corporate name will be VAN WvcK FAMILY ASSOCIATION, INC. Its principal objects will be: To pay, or assist in paying, the expense of preparatory, collegiate, professional or other suitable education, of such member or members of the Van Wyck family as hereinafter defined, as may from time to tim;: be designated and approved by not less than three of the directors of the corporation; preference, in the discretion of the directors, being given, first to the lineal descendants in the male line of Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck and Anna Polhemus, his wife; second to other lineal descendants of Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck; third, to other members of the Van Wyck family; To furnish pecuniary aid, other than loans, to such poor and needy members of the Van Wyck family as may from time to time be designated and approved by not less than three of the directors of the corporation; preference being given, in the discretion of the directors, first to the lineal descendants in the male line of Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck, and to their wives, widows and daughters; second, to other lineal descendants of Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck, and to their wives and widows; To receive and hold, collect, purchase and preserve, family portraits and heirlooms of the Van Wyck family, and matter con nected with the history of the family and the biographies of its members, and documents and books relating to the same, with power to add to and to publish the same or any of them, and to have research made to establish and comple,nent the history of the family and the biographies of its members, and to designate and maintain a place of deposit for receiving, holding collecting, preserving and exhibiting such portraits, heirlooms, 428 VAN WYCK FAMILY ASSOCIATION documents, books and other matters, as an undivided collection; and to take steps to preserve the integrity and identity of the family and of its name; To care for and maintain, improve and embellish such burial lots or places in cemeteries or elsewhere, including the walks, fences, monuments, structures and tombs thereon, in which are, or at any time heretofore have been interred members of the Van Wyck family, as shall be designated and approved by not less than three of the directors of the cor poration; and subject to the same approval, to erect monu ments, tablets or other memorials to the memory of the family; To receive by gift, devise, bequest, purchase or otherwise, and to hold and invest and re-invest, real and personal property at the discretion or the directors, in any form of real or personal property whatsoever, and to accumulate the income therefrom, and to pay, deliver, sell, assign, transfer or convey any money or property of the corporation, or any right, title, interest or estate therein, directly or indirectly, in contributing towards or paying for any or all of the objects for which the corporation is formed. All lawful lineal descendants of Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck, shall be eligible to membership. The words "Van Wyck Family" shall mean and include only Cornelius Barentse Van Wyck and Anna Polhemus, his wife, and the ancestors of either of them, the lineal descendants of Cornelius Barentse and Anna, and the wives and widows of any such descendants. There will be seven directors. The following have con sented to act as directors until the first annual meeting: AUGUSTUS VAN WYcK, Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, New York City, N. Y. FREDERICK VAN WYcK, Oak Neck Road, West Islip, Long Island, N. Y. HENRY LAWRENCE VAN WYcK, 332 Bush Street, San Francisco, California. VANWYCK FAMILY ASSOCIATION 429 PHILIP VAN RENSSELAER VAN WYcK, go Oak Ridge Avenue, Summit, New Jersey. SIDNEY McMECHEN VAN WYcK, JUNIOR, 519 California Street, San Francisco, California. TUNIS BRINCKERHOFF VAN WYcK, 3913 North Forty-third Avenue, Irving Park, Chicago, Illinois. WILLIAM EDWARD VANWYCK, 129 West Ninety-fifth Street, Manhattan, New York City, N. Y. The affairs of the corpo:ation will be managed by its Board of Directors, all of whom n:ust be members, and provided there be adult members so qualified and willing to serve, the directors preferably shall be descendants in the male line from Cornelius Barentse and Anna Polhemus Van Wyck. Suitable by-laws will provide for annual and special meet ings of members and for the election of members, for the management of the affairs of the corporation by its Board of Directors, for the election of such Board and the filling of vacancies therein, for the adoption by the Board of rules and regulations; with still further provisions in relation to the officers of the corporation, which latter will consist of a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, although it is possible there may be two Secretaries, one a Corresponding and the other a Recording Secretary. The duties of all these officers will be defined by the by-laws. The by-laws will also contain provisions in respect of Inspectors of Election, the corporate seal and amendments to by-laws, with perhaps certain miscellaneous provisions. The by-laws will fix a day certain in each year, probably the first Thursday in February, at an office in The City of New York, for the annual meeting of members. It is hoped that all those qualified for membership will become members, and one of the principal reasons for referring here to the proposed incorporation is that such reference may be con sidered an invitation to all those who are so qualified, to 430 VAN WvcK FAMILY AssoCIATION become members. It is suggested that those desiring to become members communicate with one of the directors. The members of the family who are about to form this corporation hope and believe that in the course of time it will be liberally endowed either by gift inter vivos or by will. A direct form of gift by will might be made as follows: 1 give and bequeath to Van Wyck Family Association, Inc., a New York corporation, the sum of dollars. The particular purpose of the gift might be defined if such purpose were one of the corporate purposes above mentioned. Some might desire to state that the gift was made in memory of a deceased relative. A testator frequently leaves property in trust for the life of some near relative, with a direction as to where the property shall go at the termination of that life. It frequently happens that at the end of such life all the ultimate objects of the testator's bounty will have died. In such cases the property usually goes to the testator's remote relatives, as heirs-at-law or next of kin. It is hoped that many members of the family will prefer to provide in such contingency, that the Family Association shall take the property for the purposes of the cor poration. A gift of this kind might be made substantially as follows: I give and bequeath the sum of Dollars to the qualifying and acting executors of this will, as trustees, to be had and holden by such trustees and any successors in the trust, during the life of my daughter , upon trust to invest and keep the same invested, with power to call in and change the investments thereof from time to time, and to collect and receive the income thereof, and after paying thereout all expenses lawfully chargeable to such income, to apply the net income from the said trust estate or fund arising, as and when received, to the use of my said daughter during her life, free from the debts, control or interference of any husband she may at any time have, arid only after such income shall have accrued and shall be on hand ready for application and not by way of anticipation; and upon the death VAN WYCK FAMILY ASSOCIATION 431 of my said daughter , to convey, transfer, deliver and pay over the capital of said trust estate or fund, as it shall then exist, with all gains and increase of capital thereof, if any, in fee simple and absolutely, to the issue of my said daughter , who shall survive her, in equal share, per stirpes and not per capita, or in default of any such issue then surviving, to my other issue then surviving, in equal shares, per stirpes and not per capita, or in default of any issue of mine then surviving, to Van Wyck Family Association, Inc., a New York corporation, for the corporate purpose, of said corporation, in memory of my father, , late of , deceased. Any member of the famil:r desiring to make a bequest to the corporation either directly or in the alternative, and de siring further explanation of the objects and purposes of the corporation, or desiring suggestions as to the form of the gift, should communicate with one of the Directors. The foregoing plan of incorporation follows closely that devised by John Ross Delafield, Esquire, of No. 27 Cedar Street, New York City, for the Delafield Family Association, recently incorporated.
