PREFACE
HO FIRST conceived the idea of compiling a Van der l\Iark family genealogy is not known. The earliest knov,m W printed sketch of the family in America appeared in The History of Kingston, N. Y., by :Marius Schoonmaker, published in 1888. Perhaps the credit belongs to him. About the same time Walter B. Van Dermark and Miss Loretta ~!. Hauser, both of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., began to put in writing such information about their numerous Van der Mark relatives as ,·..-as readily available. They were unknown to each other and each ·was unaware of the action of the other. In 1896 John W. Van Demark, of New York City, in order to meet the requirements for membership in the Holland Society of New York, began a search and made a brief genealogical record for that purpose. Shortly thereafter Clarence E. Hauser, of New York City, brother of Loretta. became interested and met John \V. Van Demark through the courtesy of Mr. Dingman Versteeg, then official historian and archivist of the Holland Society. Their friendship and cooperation continued until Mr. Van Demark joined "the innumerable caravan" in 192i. In 1924 the result of the efforts of the four interested per sons above named were united, making a voluminous :-ecorc!. In 1925 ~!rs. Charles C. Bovey, of lfinneapolis, Minn., daugh ter of Mrs. Josephine Van de Mark Koon, who, unknown to the other interested parties, had been maldng researches coilceming the family, learned of their efforts and records and generously offered to finance the printing of a Van der :Mark family book. Thus to the untiring efforts of these five persons, only two of whom sun-ive, the credit for gathering the information in this book is due. It is no exaggeration to state that the quest for information relating to the family from every possible source has continued, as opporttmity and leisure permitted, for about fifty years. Many letters of inquiry were sent to members of the family, but few answers were received. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made s VAN DE l\IARK A:scESTRY
to those who rendered assistance. Among them are Hon. Martin Van Buren Van De Mark, of Concordia, Kan., who has always been willing to help and who had the copy for Part I typewritten ; Percy F. Van De Mark, of Schenectady, N. Y., who has done much research work and had correspondence with some members of the family in Holland; James Isaac Van der l'.fark and family of High Falls, N. Y., and AJe.-,.ander S. Van der Mark, of Goshen, N. Y. The European records in Part I speak for themselves. They are, ·with the exception of the first ten pages, largely the work of John \V. Van Demark (as he was fond of spelling his name) and were printed in 1925 under his editorial supervision when he was in his 87th year. As his sight was very poor owing to operations on both eyes for cataract, quite naturally under the circumstances, his work was far from perfect. That he was fully conscious of this appears from the following statement made by him: "In the accompanying o-"tracts from many sources there is doubtless justi fication for criticism, and of the many quotations possibly some inadvertently have not been properly credited, but being without previous e>..-perience as author or editor, and without pretension to either. every effort has been made to do even justice to all author ities." The Van der 1fark family may be said to have become clearly established when, in the ninth century, Theodoric, Count of Altena, Mark and Berg. called his offspring Counts of l'.lark and Counts of Berg. The printing of Part II and completion of the book has been delayed for various reasons, chief among which was the desire to make the numbered line as complete and perfect as possible and thus preserve for posterity all the information available. None of the compilers had previous experience in such work and no apology is offered fer the many imperfections, but critics are reminded th.Lt "Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see Thinks what ne'er ,.,,-as, nor is, nor e'er shall be."

FOREWORD
ANY YEARS AGO in New York, my mother and I had the pleasure of meeting John W. Van Demark who had M become known to us through some of his relatives in Minneapolis where we lived. Interesting letters came from him about Thomas Van der Mark, our first ancestor in this country from Holland. After my mother's death in 1922, I was at Lake Mohonk and found in the history of ulster County an article about Thomas Van der Mark and his family. I was delighted to find that I was so near their first home at :Marbletown. On our \\-ay to Kingston the ne.'\.1: day we made a quick, but unsuccessful, search of the Marbletown cemetery. Years later Percy F. Van De Mark sent me pictures of the gravestones of Thomas and his wife, which he had found in that same cemetery and which gave their long desired dates. John W. Van Demark was nearly blind and unable to publish the manuscript on account of the cost. He was pleased when I offered to finance its""publication as a memorial to my mother who was very proud of her Dutch ancestry. He signed a contract giving me possession of the manuscript with authority to do with it as I saw fit. Part I, containing the European history of the family, was printed almost as written. When, however, it came to print ing Part II, the American data. so many errors in dates were discovered that I made a trip to \Vilkes-Barre to ask 'Walter B. Van Dermark to correct the manuscript, as he had furnished much of the information contained therein. We should all be most appreciative of the work that he did. Unfortunately, I did not g.::t in touch with Oarence E. Hauser until some time later. I then learned that he had furnished a great deal of the material which Mr. Van Demark had used. Mr. Hauser took over the manuscript and it was his revision of, and addition to, Part II that made completion of the book possi ble. The descendants of Thomas Van der Mark cannot be grate ful enough to Mr. Hauser and his sister for the many years of work which they put into this book. VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY On a second trip to Kingston I found and read the old descrip tions of the first land belonging to Thomas, and then started on a search for the original farm, k-nowing only that Style Klip Rock on the north side of Esopus Creek ·was one of the boundaries within the limits of Marbletown near Kingston. A small boy who lived near this rock told us that it was on the farm now belonging to George Hanke. We went to see Mr. Hanke who was much interested to hear that his farm was the original 1686 farm of Thomas Van der Mark. He showed us the tall Style Klip Rock by the creek, and told us of a stone foundation and chimney which evidently belonged to the original house. In 1926 I made a trip to Milford, Pike County, Pennsylvania, where Frederick Van de Mark bad settled after leaving Roches ter (now Accord), and where he, his wife, and son, James, died about 1793 on their farm on Van de Mark Creek where they bad their mills. Their two sons, Joseph and my ancestor, Lodewick, moved to Phelps in 1792 and 1794. Later when I visited there I found the Van de Mark burying ground on Joseph's farm and located the beautiful gravestones of these first settlers. Nearby, across the road was Lodewick's old farm along Canandaigua Out let where be had his mint-still. The house was on a hill and nothing remains of it, but from the old smoke house and the tim bers of the old barn I secured some interesting iron nails and hooks. (In Part II of this book a description of early days is included in the account of Lodewick.) A diagram of the paternal ancestors of my mother, Josephine Van de Mark Koon, is included in her data. In order to facilitate finding one's line, we have made a dia gram of the first four generations and also an index of towns. Many names have been found during the past few years in telephone and city directories and are listed under "UNCLASSI FIED DATA." In the back of the book we have provided pages for records formerly kept in family Bibles. Interestecl persons are invited to communicate with either of the surviving compilers regarding any of the contents of this book. KATE KOON BOVEY (Mrs. C. C.) 400 Oifton A venue, 1finneapolis, :Minn.

INTRODUCTION
ORIGIN AND MEANING OF THE FAMILY NAME VAN DER MARK, VAN DE MARK, ETC.
HE name Van der Mark or Van de Mark, to mention only two of many spellings, is derived from the ancient mark or T march established on the boundary or frontier by Charle magne in what is now the County of Mark in the Province of Westphalia, Germany. It was a district under the military con trol of a count of the mark or march. In many cases these counts of the march founded powerful families, became independent rul ers, and made their titles hereditary. Thus it is seen that De la Marek, Van der Mark, Van de Mark, etc., all mean the same, that is "from or of the Mark" or boundary. The Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 27, p. 689, states it thus: "Mark, a boundary or frontier region between two countries or districts. The word appears to have been first used in this sense in the eighth century, and the earliest 'mark' or 'march' districts were tracts of land on the borders of the Carolingian Empire. Wherever Charlema,,.ane pushed fonvard the frontiers of the Frankish realm he provided for the security of his lands, new and old alike, by establishing mark districts on the borders. The defense and oversight of these were entrusted to special officers, afterwards called margraves, or counts of the mark."
THE FEUDAL SYSTEM The records herein cover a period of centuries, beginning A.D., iOO. Europe was then ruled by feudal governments, so called, wherein each county or province ,,-as controlled by a count, lord or duke, who assumed to be proprietor and lord over land and people. Their rights were hereditary and so passed from gener ation to generation. The genealogical records of these ruling families were kept as royal records, for which we are mainly 12 V A."l DE MARK ANCESTRY
indebted to James Anderson's Royal Genealogy, published in 1736, and the Rev. William Betham's Genealogical Tables, pub lished in 1795. The earliest record found is "Walter Count Teisterbant," who died 724, in the pro,..ince of Betau or Petace, Dukedom of Gelders, which is of the Dutch Netherlands. He had a daughter, Beatrice, who married Theodoric Lord of Oeve. They had Beatrice who married Elias ( or Aelius) referred to as first of the male line. The first generation of continuous male line is Elias or Aelius "surnamed Gratius or Gracillus, a great hero," who married Beatrice heiress of Teisterbant and Oeve, who died 735. They had Theodoric I. Count of Teisterbant and Oeve who died 759. Teisterbant was located in Holland and Oeve a county or pro,.. ince of Germany immediately adjacent to the Netherland line. Anderson's Genealogical Tables above referred to say "Englebert I. Count of Mark, who died 1277, descended in male line from Theodoric Count of Teisterbant and Oeve who died 759, A.D." Six generations after Theodoric I. referred to, we have Theodoric as Count of Altenah, Mark and Berg, who died 900 A.D., of whom Anderson's Tables say "Theodoric called his off spring Counts of Mark and Counts of Berg." These titles or names, in the evolution or transition of custom and language then taking place, became respectively Van der Mark and van de Berg. and in French de la Marek and de Berg or de la Berg; so that these two branches of the same family became known by entirely dissimilar names. The Counts of Mark had descended from the Counts of Oeve when without family name, and the Encyclopaedia Britannica says that at the death of John II. of Oeve in 1368 the family name was Rutger, so that although there may be other families with like names as above of other origin, here are pre sented three families, each ,\;th many thousands of descendants, in both Europe and America with no similarity of names, i.e., Van der Mark, van de Berg and Rutger, the progenitors of all of whom in the eighth century were of one and the same family. "The Race of de la Marcks," so cailed by Anderson's rec ords, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, developed into four distinct branches as sovereigns, namely, Counts of Mark, Lords of Aremberg, Sedan, and Lumain, though the family VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 13
name of all was van de Mark, or de Ia Marek. The male line in possession of Arember2: became extinct in 1547 and Sedan in 1588. The Counts of Mark in 1368 by the death of John II. Count of Qeves, who c!ied childless, became possessed of the Oeve estates also, which they retained until the death of John \Villiam in 1609, when the male line Counts of Mark, as a dynasty, be came extinct. Their descendants on the female side became by marriage the progenitors of the Prussian Royal House. It is of interest to note that the van de Mark or de la Marek family Counts of Mark, who were really a branch of the House of Qeve in the ninth century should five centuries afterward become possessed of the Oeve estates and continue in possession for over two centuries, a total of the House of Qeve and their descendants of nine centuries. The several branches of the family seem to have held a unique connection in European history. Investigation justi fies the conclusion that there is much of geographical and po litical history involved in the family record. The holdings of the several branches of the fa.-nily were e.'Ctensive. The Counts of Mark were in possession of Oeve, Berg, Julich, Mark, Rav ensburg and Ravenstein. Eberhard, Count of Mark, who died in 1381, had become Duke of Bouillon and Lord of Aremberg, and his son Lord of Sedan and Lumain. These latte!' provinces were held by the family for over two centuries, and many other provinces were held for long periods. Additional strength was acquired from the fact that many of the family at various periods were Bishops in many of the largest cities, notably Liege. Cologne and Munster, and their temporal and political power was important. Of the se\·eral lines of the family, Mark and .'\remberg appear in Germany, Sedan in France, and we believe that Lu main was in what was known as Flanders, extending into France and Belgium. From this latter branch mainly came those who hailed from the Netherlands. · Contests by the several governments for territorial supre macy continued for centuries. The e.'Ctensive holdings and large following of the van de Mark family made them an impor- 14
tant factor· and largely accounts for their frequent intermarriage ,·,rith royal families. Political reasons many times determined the event, which is aptly illustrated by William van de Mark, who as William V .• Duke of Oeve, had as his first wife Jeanne De Albret in 1540, niece of Francis I., King of France, annulled in 1543 ; and for his second wife Maria daughter of Ferdinand I., Emperor of Austria. No doubt both marriages were for po litical reasons, as was the annulment of his first marriage. For like reasons the Duke's sister Anne married Henry VIII., King of England, as his fourth ,-.-ife. Their marriage took place Jan. 6, 1540, and was annulled after a few months. Anne was lavishly provided for by Parliament, though held as a host age and guarantee of peace with her brother the Duke of Oeve. In the transition and changes of the many branches of the ;family it should be remembered that the records extend over many centuries, during which period the family lines have e.'1: tended throughout Europe and the United States. The name in form and spelling is not only subject to change with language, but is also subject to the caprice of each individual possessor of the name. Though the count-ship of Mark was of German territory, many histories, including German publications refer to Counts of Mark as la Marek, or de la Marek, assuming the French style for the name, which in Dutch is van de :Marek and in German von de 1Iark. The result is shown in the name of the Admiral of the Dutch fleet, "The Sea Beggars," who ,vas known in Dutch history as Count \Vilhem van der Mark, and in other histories as Baron Lumey, Count De la Marek. The Ne--..: York Evening Mau said recently: "Germans won der at the practice of English and American papers in capitalizing the preposition 'von' in German names as in von Moltke, von Gluck, and so on. The American practice of capitalizing the 'von' is derived from our ·vans'. In this country van is not em ployed as an aristocratic particle, it has become an integral part of the name. Van Schaick or Van Buren are used with no thought of any significance or special meaning of the 'van'. In fact many times the whole word is run into one as in Vanderbilt and Vanderpool. Some descendants of the Dutch have made effort to preserve the aristocratic flavor, Dr. Henry van Dyke for in- VA.'- DE :'.\iARK AscESTRY 15
stance, who writes bis name with a little 'v'. But it is extremely difficult to get any free born American to follow that lead." As the original progenitor of the van de Ma7k family in the United States was direct from Holland, the name was undoubted ly van de Mark and is so recorded in first entries here, but each indi',,;dual bas assumed the right to spell and divide the name as he desired and to use capitals ,vith either portion as be deemed best. It bas been said that "the study of genealogy is a study of history: the records of the individuals and families are a large part of the records of the countries where they have lived and whose history they have made." The above could seldom be applied more fittingly and more truthfully than to the study of the records herein. To present a mere array of names of each successive generation of the family for nine centuries in Europe without something definite as to lo cality or of the social conditions then controlling, or as to the characteristics of those then active in public life, would be of little interest to the family or to the genealogist. Many e."d:racts have been brought together from European histories upon subjects of general interest. all in brief form feudal go,·ernment, territorial. genealogical and biographical all pertaining to the subject of investigation ;,.nd the family history inyolved. including much of the politic:ii., secular and religious history of the period. Feudal government because from it the family name was derived. and though it has become obsolete, the greatest e.'-aD'iple of all, still survived in the person of Wil liam II., "German Emperor,"' the representative of the Prussian l\Ionarchy. not only in control of all territorial government, but in th.: absolute direction of the personal freedom of bis sub jects until Nov. 11, 1918, when the Armistice was signed which concluded the \Vorld \Var. As the records herein begin with the eighth century, and practically with the beginning of Feudalism, though it was strengthened and more firmly established by the death of Charle magne in 814, it bad already made rapid progress; but bis death led to a general recognition of feudal tenure of land, some times called the Feudal System of Government. .Ai.s the records 16 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY
were maintained as Royal Records because of Feudal Titles of the reigning Count, Duke or Lord, we have deemed it of interest to quote from prominent authors on Feudalism, and to recount some of the conditions then prevailing. As the family was largely identified with the feudal period and many provinces were held by Yarious members of the fam ily for centuries, we have deemed it also of interest to repeat descriptions of a few of the provinces held by the family which were at times important factors in political history, as pre sented by Lippincott's Ga::ctecr and the Encylopacdia Bri:,;n nica.
THE FEUDAL SYSTEM Kitchin's History of France says of the beginning of the eighth century: "\Ve have now reached the bridge between barbarism and feudalism. The foundations of it were very slowly laid; one cannot build easily on chaos." "The feudal system, or feudal government ,vas not estab lished by any decree of a King, or by the representatives of the people, or by virtue of any agreement between land owners, but it seemed of spontaneous growth, gradually and irregularly without any conscious plan on any one's part, but simply be cause it seemed convenient under the circumstances. The O\\-ner of vast estates found it to his ad\'antage to parcel them out to those who became his vassals, men who agreed to accompany him to war, to guard his castle upon occasion in addition to mak ing money payments to their lord. The 'Feudal System,' so called, received recognition as early as the sixth century. and though its growth was slow its in crease was continuous, and in the tenth century it was adopted absolutely by France and its territory dissected into fifty-five counties or provinces, in each of which was a ruler with su preme power in his domain. This action was prompted solely by the weakness of the central government, a recognition of its inability to maintain its independence and control over the territory over which it claimed jurisdiction, and it was anticipated that such action would V A,."i DE MARK AVCESTRY 17 strengthen the central government. But the result was that the ruler within each province recognized no higher authority. They maintained their separate holdings for centuries, until the cen tral government, becoming stronger, gradually as the oppor tunity presented, assumed <:Ont:rol of all territory within the State." Guizot's History of Ci1lili::ation in Ei,rope says of Feudal Monarchy: "It is confused in its nature and cannot be easily defined. It has been said that the king, lll the feudal system of government, was the suzerain over suzerains, the lord over lords ; that he was connected by firm links, from degree to de gree, with the whole framework of society; and that, in calling around him his own vassals, then the vassals of his vassals, and so on in graduation, be exercised his authority over the whole mass of people, and showed himself to be really a king. I do not deny that this is the theory of feudal monarchy; but it is a mere theory, which bas never governed facts. This pretended influence of the king by means of a bierarchial organization, these links which are supposed to have united monarchy to the whole body of feudal society, are the dreams of the speculative poli ticians. In fact the greatest part of the feudal chieftains at that period were completely independent of the monarchy; many of them hardly J...-new it even by name, and had few or no relations with it; every kind of sovereignty was local and independent. The name of king borne by one of these feudal chiefs does not so much express a fact as a rememberance. Such is the state in which monarchy presents itself in the course of the tenth and eleventh centuries. "'Without doubt the possessors of fiefs were not all equal among themselves. There were some much more powerful than others; and very many sufficiently powerful to oppose the weaker. But there was none, from the king, first of proprietors, down ·ward, who was in a condition to impose law upon all the others, in a condition to make himself obeyed. Call to mind that none of the permanent means of power and influence at this time e.-cisted-no standing army-no regular ta."
French civilization and history commence exactly at the same moment when it is almo!'t impossible to discover a France. "No great fact, no social State, makes its appearance com plete at once. It is formed slowly, successively; it is the result of a multitude of different facts, of different dates and origins which modify and combine themselves in a thousand ways be fore constituting ~ whole, presenting itself in a clear and system atic form, receiving a special name and standing through a long life. An historical epoch is studied when it has ceased; a social condition when it has disappeared. "Feudalism once well established, the possessor of the fief, great or small, possessed all the rights of sovereignty in his do main. No e.'Cternal or distant power gave laws there, established taxes or administered justice. The proprietor alone possessed all this power. This power was often overlooked, then dis puted, and lastly usurped by the superior and powerful lords, among others the ldngs ; but in a word each lord was sovereign in his own domain. "Moreover, when the possessor of the fief left his castle to seek war and adventures, his wife remained in it, and in a situa tion wholly different from that in which women had almost always been hitherto placed. She remained mistress, chatelaine, representing her husband, charged in his absence with the de fense and honor of the fief. This ele·.-ated an almost sovereign position, in the very bosom of domestic life, often gave to the women of the feudal period a dignity, a courage. ,,;rtues, a dis tinction which they have displayed nowhere else, and it has doubtless powerfully contributed to their moral development and the general improvement of their condition. "This is not all, the importance of children, of the eldest son more especially, was much greater in the feudal mansion than anywhere else. There broke forth not only natural affec tion and the desire to transmit his property to his children, but also the desire to transmit to them that power, that superior position, that sovereignty inherent in the domain. The eldest son of the lord was, in the eye of his father and all his people, a prince, an heir presumptive, the depository of the glory of a dynasty. So the weaknesses as well as the good feeling of hu- 20 V A.'1 DE MARK ANCESTRY man nature, domestic pride as well as affection. combined to give the spirit of family more energy and power. Add to this the influence of Christian ideas, which we here m~dy point out in passing, and you will comprehend how the life of the castle, the solitary, gloomy, hard situation, was favorable to the de velopment of domestic life and to that elevation of the con dition of women which bolds so great a place in the history of civilization. "Feudalism succumbed to the two powers, Royalty and the Commons. By rop.lty a central government in France, by the commons was found a universal nation which grouped itself around the central government." Henry Thomas Buckle in Civili::ation in England says of France: "The feudal ideas of superiority and submission have long survi,ed the barbarous age to which alone they were suited. Indeed, by their transmission they seem to have gained fresh strength. In France everything is referred to one common centre, in which all functions are absorbed. All improvements of any importance, all schemes for bettering even the material con dition of the people, must receive the sanction of the Govern ment, the local authorities not being considered equal to such arduous tasks. In order that inferior magistrates rn:iy not abuse their power, no power is conferred upon them. The exercise of independent jurisdiction is almost unknown. Everything that is done must be done at headquarters. The Government is be lieved to see everything, know everything and provide every thing. To enforce this monstrous monoply there has been con trived a machinery well worthy of the design. The entire coun try is covered by an immense array of officials who, in the regu larity of their hierarchy, and in order of their descending series, form an admirable emblem of that feudal principal which, ceas ing to be territorial, has now become personal. In fact the whole business of the State is conducted on the S!Jpposition that no man either knows his own interest or is :fit to take care of himself. So paternal are the feelings of Government, so eager for the welfare of its subjects, that it has drawn within its jurisdiction the most rare as well as the most ordinary actions of life. In order that the French may not make imprudent wills, VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 21 it has limited the right of bequest ; and for fear that they should bequeath their property wrongly, it prevents them from be queathing the greater part of it at all. In order that society may be protected by its police, it has directed that no one shall travel without a passport. .And when men are actually travelling ,they are met at every tum by the same interfering spirit, which, under pretense of protecting their persons, shackles their liberty."
DESCRIPTION OF SOME OF THE PROVINCES HELD BY THE FAMILY FoR LoNG PERIODS. Brief de:.criptions of the provinces is here given in which the several lines of the family had their origin and in one of which, Mark, they received the family name, and by hereditary right became in absolute control, e.xtending to many of the provinces, which was maintained for centuries. By environment many members of the family became important factors in the making of European history. Also a brief description of Flanders and adjoining territory of the Netherlands as early as the four teenth century. TIESTERBANT-From which the first entry of records is made was in the province of Betan or Petace Dukedom of Gelders, which is in the Netherlands-Holland. CLEVE. Americani::cd Britannica says: Oeve was located near the Rhine and the Netherlands frontier with an area of 850 square miles. The town. formerly the capital of the duchy, and now the chief town of a circle in the government of Dussel dorf, forty-six miles north west of Dusseldorf and twelve east of Nimeguan, is a neatly built town in the Dutch style, situated in the declivities of three hills h."tlown as Kirchberg, Schloss berg and Heidelberg, in a fertile district near the frontier of Holland and about two miles from the Rhine, with which it has been connected since 1848 by the Spoy canal. It still has the old castle of Schwanenberg, formerly the residence of the Dukes of Oeve and the birthplace of Anne of Oeve. one of the wives of Henry VIII. It has a massive tower of one hundred and eighty feet high with its associated legend of the 'Knights oi 22 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY the Swan,', immortalized in Wagner's Lohengrin, which was built in 1439 on the traditional site of Caesar's Tower, and commands an extensive view. The building has been restored and changed in modem times to serve as a court of justice and a prison. The Collegiate Church dates from 1345 and contains a number of fine ducal monuments among which the first place is held by Adolph VI., Count of Mark, of the fourteenth century. A monument has been erected commemorating the Knights of the Swan. In 1368 Oeve passed to th.e Counts of Mark and it was made a duchy in 1417. The town was the seat of the Counts of Oeve in the early part of the eighth century, but did not receive its incorporation until 1242. It was raised to the rank of a duchy by Sigismund in 1487. On the death of John William, March 25, 1609, without issue, his inheritance, which also included Mark, Julich, Berg. Ravensberg and Ravenstein, became the object of a violent contest between no fewer than six competitors. It was not _µntil 1614 that the dispute was settled by the Treaty of Zanten, which assigned the Duchy .:if Oeve to John Sigismund, Elector of Brandenburg, who had married a niece of the late duke John William; in 1608 it was made a grand duchy by Kapoleon and bestowed on Murat. In 1815 it was restored to Prussia." From Romance of the Rhine by Charles Marriott: "For the romance of history and legend imagination turned to Oeve, five miles away across the river and joined to it by canal. Oeve is situated on the dcclh,jties of three hills from which, as Mr. Baring Gould says gracefully, 'it commands the last smile of the Rhine·. Here in the castle of Schwanenberg, the residence of the former dukes of Qeve and of the legendary Knights of the Swan, built on the traditional site of Caesar's Tower, was born the unfortunate Anne who became the fourth ,.,.ife of Henry VIII. Holbein painted h~r at Duren in 1539 and the picture, now in the Louvre, served her an ill turn by inflaming the imagination of the English Monarch, to leave him sadly disappointed with the original. The mischief of the portrait did not end there, for Henry's spleen reacted upon Cromwell, Earl of Esse.'C, who had recommended Anne to notice. Not often in the history of art is a painter innocently responsible for a royal

marriage and divorce and the downfall and e.xecution of a Min ister. At Cleve and Zanten a few miles away on the same side of the river, \Vagner found the inspiration for two of his operas even before his imagination plunged into the Rhine to emerge with the ring, Oeve gave him Lohengrin, and Zanten was the legendary birthplace of Siegfried." ALTENAHR was also located in Rhenish Prussia, and near by the town now called Altenah-Schlossberg are the ruins of the ancestral castle of the tenth century of the Counts of l\Iark, ancestors on the female side of the Prussian royal house. Tlie last Knight to occupy the castle was Conrade of Hochstaden, d. 1261, after which it was used as a prison for political offenders; it was destroyed about 1714 by the French Garrison. BERG-Formerly a duchy of Germany located on the Rhine, bounded on the North by the duchy of Cleve and east by the Countship of :\-!ark, and the duchy of \Vestphalia; in area about 1120 square miles, raised in 1108 to the rank of Countship and became a duchy in 1356; in 1521 it passed to John III., Count of :Mark. CoLOGXE-(Ancient Roman name Koln,) is located in the duchy of Berg; Julius Caesar built a wooden bridge at Koln and in A.D. 308, Constantine the Great replaced it ";th one of stone; this was partly destroyed by the K ormans and finally removed by Archbishop Bruno. Cologne is the largest city in Rhenish Prussia, and the Capital of the administrative district of Cologne on the west bank of the Rhine forty-nine miles north west of Coblenz. The city is a first class fortress and the seat of a large trade. The Archbishops of Cologne ranked among the great princes of the Old German Empire, and held the position of Imperial Electors. It was called the Holy City during the Middle Age. "°'!any of the Archbishops of Cologne were Counts of Mark. l\LuK is an ancient countship of Germany adjoining the Holland line, now comprised in the pro,;nce of Westphalia, Prussia. in the government district of Arnsberg.

}ULICH-The male line of the dukes of Julich. Berg and Ravensburg became e.'\."tinct in 1511 and Mary the heiress of these duchies married John III.. Count of Mark, the heir of the duchy of Oeve, and in 1521 the three duchies, Julich, Berg and Oeve, together with the counties of Ravensburg and Raven stein, were united under John's sway. John died in 1539 and was succeeded by his son William V., who reigned unti1 1592, and be was followed by John William who died 1609, the last of the male line. Oeve bad continued with the several branches of the family for nine centuries. Alu:.MBF.R.v-Encyclopacdia Britannica says: "Formerly a duchy of the Holy Roman Empire in the circle of the Rhine Palatinate between J ulich and Cologne and now belonging to the Prussian administration district of Coblenz. The hamlet of Arernberg is at the foot of a basalt hill 206i feet high on the summit of which are the ruins of the castle, the original seat of family of Aremberg. Lippincott's says: "The Lords of Aremberg first appear in the twelfth century, but bad died out in the male line 12i9. From the marriage of the heiress 1Iat hilda (1282-1299) with Engelbert II., Count of l!ark (d. 1208) sprang two sons. The elder of these, Adolph V., (d. 134i), in herited the countship of La ?IIark; the second Eberhard III., ( d. 138i), the lordship of Aremberg, which he increased by his mar riage with Marie de Looz, heiress of Lumain. The lordship of Arernberg remained in his family until 154i when it passed to John Barbanson of the great house of Ligne by his marriage with :Margaret, sister of the childless Robart III."

SEDAN. The Encyclopaedia Britannica says: "In the four teenth century ·was a dependency of the Abbey of :Mowzon, the possession of which was disrupted by the Bishop of Liege and Rheims, united to the Crown of France by Charles V., it was ceded by Charles 'VI., to Guilliame de Bracqucmont, whose son sold it to his brother-in-law, Everard de la l\:Iark II. For two centuries this powerful family continued masters of the place in spite of the Bishops of Liege and the Dukes of Burgundy and Lorraine. Henry Robert de la Marek adopted the title of Prince of Sedan. Robert de la :Mark I., ( d. 1489), was lord of Sedan when he acquired Bouillon, and Robert de la :Mark IV., (d. 1566) erected Sedan on his own authority into an independent prin cipality. By the marriage of his granddaughter, Charlotte, in 1591, with Henry de la Tour of Auvergne, the duchy of Bouillon and the principality of Sedan. upon her death in 1594, passed to the house of Turene. \Vhen the new duke attempted to maintain his independence Henry IV., captured Sedan in three days. Se dan became a part of the royal domain in 1641. The fifteenth century castle still remains. On the first of September, 1870, the fortress was the centre of the most disastrous conflict of the Franco-German war. At Donchery, three and half miles west of Sedan, is the cha teau of Bellevue where the terms of capitulation were agreed upon and ~apoleon III., Emperor of France, surrendered with 39 Generals, 230 staff officers. 2600 line officers, 82,000 men and 550 guns. The news of the capitulation in Paris led to the overthrow of the Second Empire. \\'hen the armistice was signed concluding the \Vorld War on the 11th of Nov., 1918, the American Army was in possession of the same ter ritory.
Bot:ILLOX. The town is 590 feet above the sea, most pic turesquely situated in the '\-alley under the rod.~· ridge on which are the well preserved remains of the castle of Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the first Crusade. The town lying in a basin, skirts both sides of the river Semois. which is crossed by two bridges. The stream forms a loop around and almost en circles the castle from which there are beautiful views of the 26 VA:. DE MARK A.'1CESTRY
sinuous valley and the opposite well wooded heights. The whole effect of the grim castle, the sil\'ery stream, the verdant woods, make one of the most striking scenes in Belgium. The great crusader. Godfrey V., son of Eustace, Count of Boulogne, in order to take the crusade, sold the castle to the Prince Bishop of Liege (1098) and the title of Duke of Bouil lon remained an appendage of the Bishops of Liege ( 1098) and the title of the Duke oi Bouillon remained appendage of the Bishops until 1678, or for five hundred and eighty years. The Bishops appointed Chatelaines, one of whom was \Villiam de la :Marek. His descendants made themsel\'es quasi-indepen dent and called themselves princes oi Sedan and dukes of Bouil lon. and they were recognized by the King of France. From 1594 to 1641 the duchy remained in the French family of La Tour de Auvergne. one of whom, Henry, Viscou:it of Turene and :Marshal of France, married Charlotte de la :Marek, "the 1:i.st of her race." The Xe-..r.J York World of November. 1918, says of Bouil lon: "As the American troops wind their way along the roads that cross the beautiful Ardennes they will meet no greater contrast with scenes in their own country than the famous castle of Godfrey of Bouillon in the valley of the Semois, one of the most romantic spots in this romantic forest land. \Vith walls twtfre feet thick, cut in solid rock, on a height almost encircled by a river, this stronghold has outlasted the ravages of eight centuries. \Yithin its confines are a pond well stocked with fish and an area for growing crops. It was well prepared for a siege. From its battlements an enemy could be seen approach ing from far up and down the valley, and it had underground passages leading to concealed sorties more than two miles dis tant. 1t was supplied with deep dungeons and oublietts and all the appunenances of mediaeval fortresses. "Today the modern world, symbolized by the Stars and Stripes, there meets the relics of the dark ages. In recent years a light railway has been built along the picturesque Semois as far as Alie, where tourists coming up from Sedan before the ,·1.-ar used to entrain to visit this wonderful survival of ancient times."

FLAXDERS. Anciently, Vlaeland-submerged land. The old name of an e.,ctensive region embracing, besides the Belgian prov inces of East and \Vest Flanders, the southern portion of the Provinces of Zealand in Holland and the French Department of le Xord. In historical writings the name is often applied loosely to designate an e.'Ctensive portion of the Netherlands where the Flemish language was spoken. Hawe's Music and .Morals says of the vanished towns and chimes of Flanders: "One hundred and twenty-six towns can be seen from the Antwerp Cathedral on a fair morning. So these mighty spires, gray and changeless in the high air, seem to hold converse together over the heads of puny mortals and their language is rolled from tower to tower by the music of the bells. There is neither speech nor language. but their voices are heard among men." l\Iany of these buildings are now in utter ruin. A very large percentage of the world's conflict for supremacy benveen Liberty and Despotism has taken place within the territory known as Flanders. Of the castles of the Feudal lords the International En cyclopaedia says: "A castle differs from a fort in being pri marily the permanent residence of a feudal lord, his family and dependents, instead of merely a stronghold occupied by a gar nson. Castle architecture ran its course from the tenth to the fifteenth century and is rep,esentative of a large part of the life of the times. In the form ,,;th which we a.e most familiar they are a creation of the nations of the North under early influences typifying at first the stern. self-reliant individualism of feu:ial society, its absorption in the ideas oi graded dominions and the fostering of strong men. In study ing its history we can trace the gradual softening of these ideals until the self-indulgent life of the Renaissance Chateau is finally reached. During the fifteenth century the castle was gradually becoming the palace. In Italy the change was rapid and com plete, in France and Germany very gradual.''

ARCHBISHOPS OF COLOGNE For centuries the German Emperor v.-as elected by a Col lege of Seven Imperial Electors of which the Archbishop of Cologne was one. The following is from the Catholic Encyclopaedia: "As princes of the German Empire. the Archbishops were very fre quently involved in dissensions between popes and emperors, often to the injury of the Chur.::h since they were frequently in opposition to the pope: Frederick I., 1100-1131 was the last Archbishop of Cologne to be invested with the Episcopal ring and crozier. In 1111 during the three days fight in the streets of Rome, he saved Henry V., from defeat, after his imprison ment of Pope Paschal II.; but in 1114 abandoned the Imperial party. His successor Bruno 1132-1137 was a,,,oain Imperial Chan cellor of Italy which office, after incumbency of Arnold II., of Wied 1151-1156 was permanently attached to the Arch bishopric of Cologne. Rainauld of Dassel, 1159-1167, the Chan cellor of Frederick Barbarossa and Phillip I., of Heinsburg, 1167- 1191 increased the prestige of the See. The latter prelate after the fall of Henry "the Lion," obtained a fief for himself and his successor the western part of the Duchy of Sa.,cony under the title of the Duke of Westphalia and Engem. One of the most energetic Archbishops in the following years was Saint Engelbert: in his short reign 1216-1221 he furthered the moral and religious life by several synods, and by the former he showed the new orders of Franciscians and Dominicians; he also restored order within the limits of the See, and success fully opposed the continued efforts for ci,ric independence. The long political conflict between the Archbishops and the City, during which Conrad of Hochstaden, 1238-1261 and Engelbert II., of Falkenburg, 1261-1274 made many concessions, v,·as final ly, as above stated settled in favor of the City, under Siegfried of Westerberg 1274-1297. The reconciliation of the Archbishops with the City, effected by vViL,bold of Holts, 1297-1304, brought with it increasing influence in the affairs of the German Em pire. To the injury of his See Henry IL, of Vinneburg, 1304- 30 VAN DE MARK .ANCESTRY
1332, allied himself with Frederick "the Handsome," while Wal ram of Julich. 1332-1339, obtained many privileges from the Emperor Charles IV., whom he bad raised to the imperial throne against Louis of Bavaria. In his time the 'Black Death' spread in Germany and entailed a great misery. In 1356 under William Gennup, 1349-1362, the dignity of imperial elector rec ognized since about the middle of the thirteenth century as belonging to the Archiepiscopal office was acknowledged by the Golden Bull."

PERTAINING TO GENEALOGICAL RECORDS, COUNTS OF MARK
"Counts of Mark" in Dutch or German language became von de Mark. in English van de Mark, in French de la Marek. !n the Index on the following page are arranged each family in consecutive order of each line: Oeve, Mark, Arem berg, Sedan and Lumain, the generation indicated by the num ber at the left, and at the right the period in which they were in possession. As elsewhere stated the European records herein are de rived mainly from James Anderson's Royal Genealogical Records of li36 and the Genealogical Tables by the Rev. Betham of 1795. In the eighth century when these records began, family names were unJ...-nown and personal identity was maintained by Christian name only, or like names numbered in consecutive order, or by such nicknames as social position or personal peculiarity might prompt. Though the records presented show the direct line of the 34 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY family from the first entry, the European records we have were maintained as Royal Records to show the continuation of the successive dynasties, hence were not always complete as family records, as many of those not of the line of succession were without other royal connection were not recorded. Anderson's Royal Gc11ca!ogics referred to say, that "En~c:1- bert I., Count of Mark, 1249-1277, descended in male line from Theodoric, Count of Oeve and Tiesterbant, who died A.D. 759," that "Theodoric, Count of Altena, who died A.O. 900, called his offspring, Counts of Mark and Counts of Berg.'' So that from "Counts of Mark", by German and Dutch custom in referring to titled personages, the name became von de Mark, and in 'French de la Marek: and "Counts of Berg" in like man ner became von de Berg and in French de la Berg. Three other distinct lines of the family developed as Royal Records from Counts of Mark: Everard I., who died 1387, Robert I., who died 1489 and William, who died 1485, became respectively the progenitors of the Aremberg, Sedan and Lu main lines; all of whom were descendants of "Counts of Mark" and of the von de Mark. The records of Counts of Berg are also presented for in formation showing connections between the two families ; by the marriage of Gerhard, (son of Engelbert I., 1249-1277), to Mar garet of Berg, the estates of Berg and Ravensberg passed to Counts of Mark and the Berg line terminated as a matter of record. The Oeve line terminated in 1368 and all their es tates passed to Counts of Mark. All estates of Counts of Mark were merged in 1618 in the "Prussian Royal House·•.

DE MARK A:-.CESTRY 47 WILLIAM V., COUNT OF MARK PERSON,\LlTY \Villiam de la Marek, known as 'William V., Count of Mark, Duke of Cleve. Julich, Berg and Ravensburg, Lord of Ravenstein, surnamed "\Villiam the Rich," was born July 23, 1516. Cleve had been in the continuous possession of the same family for eight centuries, antidating the appearance of Charlemagne. and it appears that \Villiam V., when succeed ing his father in 1539. though but twenty-three yars of age, became at once an important factor in European politics. For peace with the Duke of Cleve. Henry VIII.. married his sister, Anne. in 1540. as his fourth wife; and in the same year for like reason Francis I., gave up his niece Jeanne de Albrect. Princess of Navarre, by treaty. as the first wife of the Duke of Cleve. and though in both cases only the form of marriage was complied with and divorce or annullment fol lowed, it is quite indicati,·e of his power. though advantage was taken of changed conditions. On July 18, 1546. he mar ried :\!aria. daughter of Ferdinand I.. Emperor of Austria. Cambridge Jlodcm History says of \\iilliam V.: "The rapid collapse of a formidable rebellion increased the prestige of Charles V .• very opportunely, for the death of Charles of Gelders in 1538 instead of diminishing his difficulties had increased them. The estates of the duchy had at once pro ceeded to the election of \Yilliam de la :i\Iarck. the heir of Cleve, Berg and JuJich. The death of his father. Duke John, soon followed (1539) and the union of the four duchies under a prince whose leanings were Protestant was a serious menace to the Hapsburgh power in the North. Francis I., gave Jeannette de Albrect to \Villiam of Cleve by treaty, July 17, 1540. which compensated for the rejection of his sister by Henry VIII.. announced about the same time; though she was amply provided for by Parliament. "The project of again settling matters between Charles and Francis had again proven impracticable and the French 48 VAN DE l\'lARK A!l:CESTRY alliance with a German prince and enemy of Hapsburg showed a renewal of French hostility, the more so that Charles had hoped that by a different disposal of Jeanne's hand the question of Navarre at least might be settled forever; Charles replied by investing his son, Philip, Oct. 11, 1540, with the duchy of Milan. "Gelders which had constantly been to the Burgundian House what Scotland was to England in 1538. passed into the hands of a ruler who dreamt of uniting with the Smalkaldie League on the east, with Henry VIII., on the west, and pos sibly with Francis I., on the south, and thus surrounding Charles' dominion in the Netherlands with an impenetrable hostile fence. John III., Duke of Oeve, had married :Mary, the only child of William of Julich and Berg; his son \,Villiam V., heir to the united duchies of Oeve, J ulich, Berg and Ravensburg, had also claims on the neighboring duchy of Gelders. "The form of religion obtaining in CleYe was a curious Erasmian compromise between Popery and Protestantism which erected the Duke into a sort of territorial Pope and bore some resemblanc<: to the Yia :Meda pursued by Henry III., in England and by Joachim II., in Brandenburg. Oeve was thus a convenient political and theological line between England and the Smalkaldie League, and by means of it Cromwell in 1539 thought of forging a chain to bind the Emperor. Duke William's sister, Sybilla, was already mar ried to the Elector Frederick of Saxony and t1ie sister, Anne, wedded to Henry VIII." Of the war in the Netherlands in 1539-same history: "Even more unsettling, however, for governments and popu lation alike in this age more troubled by religious than eco nomical disturbances, was the continuous influx of Cah-inistic refugees from the Low Countries into the German border lands and the propaganda which it carried there. "The duchies of Julich and Cleve were of course im mediately exposed to the influence of the Dutch immigration, with whose aid a Reformed congregation establishd itself at Dusseldorf. In his religious opinions as well as in bis tol erant di~position Duke William resembled the Emperor Max- VAN DE MAKK A:-.CESTRV 49 millian, and he had married his eldest three daughters to Protestant princes; but he had secured the Bishopric of Mun ster for his surviving son, John William, and from about 1569 his ,,iew began to take a Catholic tum. He issued some strong edicts against the Dutch refugees, but they avoided persecu tion by keeping quiet." Of Sybilla, daughter and eldest child of John III., Agnes Strickland"s Queens of Englan.d says: "Sybilla, sister of Anne of Cleve, was married in 1527 to John Frederick, Elector of Saxony, who became the head of the Protestant Confederation in Germany known as the Smalkaldie League, so named from a small town in Southern Saxony where the leaders met for consultation. He was the champion of the Reformation. and for his invincible adherence to its principles and his courage in ad,·ersity was surnamed 'The Lion Hearted Elector.' Sybilla. was in every respect worthy of her illustrious con sort. She was famed for her talents, virtues and conjugal tenderness, as well as for her winning manners and great beauty, and was generally esteemed as one of the most dis tinguished ladies in the era in which she lived." HE:-.RY VIII., KIXG, MARRIED ANXE OF CLEVE, 1540; ANNE OF CLE\"E, QUEEN OF E:s-GLA:-.'1) Ca,n.bridge Modern History says: "In the last days of December, 1539, Anne of Cleve crossed from Calais to Deal, from which she went that day to Dover and on by stages through Canterbury to Rochester. where she remained all New Year's day, 1540. Here she received a surprise visit from the King, who came incognito and made himself known to her. As he afterwards stated. he was disappointed as to her beauty, though he had secured before hand her portrait painted by Holbein. He returned to Greenwich and received his bride publicly in Greenwich Park on January 3rd. The wedding took place on January 6th. "Just six months later this marriage was declared null, but for the present no one doubted its validity. Believing it would bring fa,·our to the German Theology, Dr. Barnes and 50 VAN DE MARK A.-..;CESTRY two other preachers of what was called 'New Learning' were indiscreetly bold at Paul Cross, but what school of opinion would prevail was for some time uncertain. "Parliment met on April 12th and under the management of Thomas Cromwell, who on the 1ith was created Earl of Essex, did its best to still further enrich the Crown. The great Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem was suppressed and its endowments were confiscated; a heavy subsidy was also voted payable by installments in four years. But these things being secured a great change took place. On June 10th Cromwell was arrested at the Council Table and committed to the Tower, where he was questioned about the circumstances of the King's marriage and forced to make ·written statements to serve as evidence for its dissolution. But nothing was yet known on the subject when the two houses of Parliment, act ing on a hint, prayed that the validity of his marriage might be enquired into by convocation. This was done, and after vari ous depositions had been read to show that the King had never given his 'inward consent' to his own public act, a sentence of nullity was pronounced. "This remqved at once any fear of a misunderstanding with the Emperor, while it disappointed Francis and the Duke of Qeve. Anne herself, however, consented to the separation, admitting that she remained a maid. July 11th a settlement was provided for Anne's stay in England of three thousand pounds annually. (Anne died 155i). A. month after the marriage was declared void it was announced that the Ki,.z married Catharine Howard, niece of the Duke of Norfork, who was prayed for as Queen on August 15th. Meanwhile, July 9th, a Bill of Attainder was passed against Cromwell in Parli ment on account of various acts, some of which were regarded as treasonable and some heretical; among the latter his support of Dr. Barnes. He was beheaded on Tower Hill on July 28th. Two days later Dr. Barnes and with him Jerome and Garrard the two other clergymen who bad preached at Paul's Cross in the Spring, were burned as heretics at Smithfield, while three of the 'Old Learning' who had been attained in Parliment were hanged as traitors." VAN DE MARK AXCESTRY 51 Encyclopaedia Britannica.-"The Lutheran divines who came to England in 1538 with a project for theological union were rebuffed, the Parliment elected in 1539 was Catholic, and only the reforming bishops in the House of Lords offered any resistance to the six Articles which reaffirmed the chief points in the Catholic doctrine and practice. The alliance be tween Pope, Emperor and French King induced Henry to acquiesce in Cromwell's scheme for a political understanding ,,rith Cleve and the Schmaldic League, which might threaten Charles V's position in Germany and the N e_therlands, but could not be of much direct advantage to England. Cromwell rashly sought to wed Henry to this policy, proposed Anne of Cleve as a bride for Henry, now once more a widower, and represented the marriage as England"s sole protection against the Catholic League. Henry put his neck under the yoke, but soon there was no necessity, for Charles and Francis were al ready beginning to quarrel and had no thought of a joint attack on England. The discovery was fatal to Cromwell. After a severe struggle in the Council he was abandoned to his enemies, attained of treason and executed. Anne's marriage was declared null and Henry found a fifth Queen in Catharine Howard, a niece of Norfolk, a protege of Gardiner, and a friend of the Catholic Church." Agnes Strickland's Queens of England-"The dower of Anne was settled according to the usual form when parliment met, April 12, 1540. It seems remarkable that Henry, who from the first had declared 'that he could not overcome his aversion to her sufficiently to consider her as his wife', should have permitted this legislative recognition q.f her rigllts as Queen Consort of England. "The Annulment of the marriage was brought about with the consent of Anne, July 12, 1540. She was amply pro,;ded for and was given an option as to her future residence either in England or abroad. Yet the liberty of choice was illusory. In effect she was detained as a hostage for the conduct of her brother and his allies. for she plainly intimated in her letters to him that any hostility from them would be visited upon her head. Her estates were granted upon condition that she should 52 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY not pass beyond the sea during life. The divorced Queen had reason to be happy in escaping with her life, when she saw the doom of those two principal agents in her late marriage. She had no child to compromise by her submission, no jealous affection for a husband to struggle with after a long period of faithful companionship, neither had she a friend to advise or counsel her in her difficult position. Her contempt for Henry's character must at least have equalled his dislike for her person, and she apparently considered herself cheaply rid of husband like him even at the sacrifice of resigning the name and rank of Queen. "The device of Anne, Princess of Cleve, was two white swans, emblems of candor and innocence, derived from the fairy legend celebrated in the lays of the Rhine, her native river, 'The Knights of the Swan'. Her immediate ancestors who came mysteriously to the heiress of Cleve in a boat guided down the noble river by two white swans, and departed in the same way. From this legend the Princely house of Oeve took the swans as supporters. The family motto was Candida. Nostra, Fides, (Our Faith is Spotless). "The friends of the reformation regarded Anne as the King's lawful wife and vainly hoped the time would come when, cloyed with the charms of the youthful rival for whom he had discarded her, he would fling his idol from him as he had done the once Anne Boleyn and reinstate the injured Flem ing in her rights. "Thomas Cromwell Earl of Essex. Secretary of State, 1534, Vicar General 1535, Lord of Privy Seal 1536-1540. be headed July 28, 1540. "Four Queens all come to death unfairly: Katherine of Arragon by poison, Jane Seymour for want of proper care in childbed, Anne Boleyn beheaded May 19, 1536, and Catherine Howard beheaded February 13, 1542". The Girlhood of Queen Eli::abeth, by Frank A. Mumby: "Leti's work is the earliest 'Life of Elizabeth' that we possess. The original edition was suppressed by authority, but a French translation entitled 'Lcrvied' Elizabeth reign de Angle terre was printed in two volumes in Amsterdam in 1694. The VAN DE l\IARK A...-.CESTRY 53 letter which follows served as Elizabeth's introdu~on to her new stepmother of Cleve, Henry's fourth wife, and was written when the writer was seven. It has been said that her Gover ness's request that she might be allowed to send this intro duction led to the only reference to Anne Boleyn which Henry was ever known to make a:fter her execution. 'She had a mother so different from the Queen', he remarked, 'that she ought not to wish to see her, but she bas my permission to write to her :Majesty.' Elizabeth's letter was the prompt re sult. It was as follows:- "l\Iadam: I am struggling between two contending wishes. One is my impatient desire to see Your Majesty, the other •that of rendering the obedience I owe to the commands of the King, my father, which prevent me from leaving my house till be has given me full permission to do so. But I hope that I shall be able shortly to gratify both these desires. In the meantime I entreat your :Majesty to permit me to show by this billet the zeal with ,vhich I devote my respect to you as my Queen, and my entire obedience to you as my mother. I am too young and feeble to have power to do more than to felicitate you with ail my ~eart in the comme!lcement of your marriage. I hope that your Majesty ,..,.ill have as much good will for me as I have zeal for your service." This letter is without date or signature. Leti tells us '"that Anne of Cleve when she saw Elizabeth, was so charmed with her beauty, wit and endearing caresses, that she con ceived the most tender affection for her, and when the con ditions of her divorce were arranged she requested as a great favor that she might be permitteg to see her sometimes," add ing ''that to have that young princess for her daughter would have been greater happiness to her than being Queen". The paternal pride of Henry was gratified at this avowal, and he agreed that she should see Elizabeth as often as she wished, provided that she was addressed by her only as "Lady Anne of Cleves." 54 VA.'.

And there the King did receive and meet lady Anne the duke'd daughter of Cleve, and made her Queen of Ing lande." "The XX'VIII. day of July, Wednesday, was beheaded, at Towerhill, him that afore had been :Master of the Rolls, and after that the King's Secretary, and after that Vicar General, Knight of the Garter, Earl of Essex, and lord chamberlain of Ireland. And my lord Hungerford was be headed there at the same time too." The XXX day of July, Friday, was there drawn from the Tower to Smithfield VI doctors: III of them was burned, the tother three was hanged and quartered. They that was burned was doctor Barnes; doctor Garet, parson Honey-land ; doctor J erom, Vicar of Stepney: and their names that was quartered, doctor Powell, doctor Abell, and doctor Featherstone. And the heads of my lord Cromwell, and my lord Hungerford were set up at London-Bridge, and their bodies buried in the Tower."

MARCK, LORD OF LUMAIN William de la Marek, son of John I., Count of Mark, Lord of Aremberg, Sedan and Lumain, born 1446, famous as a Flem ish General; all his life prominent in the defense of Belgium against the machinations of the more powerful nations which sought to control its destiny, and for such reason subjected to villification by many historians; was captured by the army of Austria under Maxmillian and e.xecuted, 1485, then but thirty nine years of age. P.:rsonal references are frequently made to \Villiam de la Mark in histories. Many times the ''historians'' have copied "history" from the novel by Sir \Valter Scott: Though the Novelist was frank enough to say directly after the Introductory: "It is scarcely necessary to say that 'All that follows is imagin ary.'" As the author concedes that the whole story is a gross fab rication, what justification had he to select the name of any man who was prominent in his life time and weave a story of infamy around his name as the result of his acute imagina tion and make him the fiend of the plot? Why could not the character have been mythical as well as the story? It would seem that every man, whatever his errors and whatever his faults and failings may have been in life, should be entitled to the truth in history, that his memory may not be falsified and commercialized that a Novelist may profit thereby. The result has been that many pseudo historians have copied VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 67 "history" from Scott's Novel and with like license have made "history" at will. A book called Historical Illustrations of Quintin Durward, was published in London in 1823 by Charles Knight with the avowed purpose to respond to the falsehoods of Sir Walter Scott's Novel, which in form gave the impression of truthful history; but it has been well said "Truth can never over-take falsehood." For a just conclusion as to the personality of William de la Marek it is necessary to know something vf the conditions and environment in which he lived. That in the fifteenth century war was the normal con ditions in many of the Central States of Europe, in the efforts made by the several governments to absorb additional terri tory and thus add to their power. The machinations of the King of France, the Duke of Burgundy, and the Emperor of Austria for the control of Belgium were continuous and Wil liam de la Marek in his time was a serious obstacle. History says that the Duke of Burgundy tried to bribe the General, that he accepted a large sum o: money. If that be true, he was dealing with an enemy, and deception was justi fied. There was one thing that the several governments were agreed upon, that was the removal of William de la Marek. There was no history of the events then occurring other than the records of these same governments. Cambridge Modern History says: "The Secular between the House of Burgundy and Valois reached a new stage in the era of the Reformation. The murder of the Duke of Orleans in the Streets of Paris in 140i, involved at first only a junior branch of the French royal house in the blood feud with Bur gundy. The alliance of Orleans and Armagnac in 1410 and of both with Charles the dauphin in 1418 swept in the Senior branch and led to the retributive murder of John of Burgundy at Monterau in 1419. Steadily the area of infection widened, a relentless discension dominated all the early years of Philip the Good. and then laid for awhile to sleep at Aeras 1435: re appears in the day of Charles the Bold. not only political and 68 VA.-. DE MARK ANCESTRY National aims, but an hereditary dynasty hatred might have in spired Louis XII., in his campaign of war and intrigue. Liege is a fortified position of the greatest importance be cause it stands in the path of any army advancing from Ger many, as it commands all the roads from Germany to Belgium." Same history referring to an attempt of the people of Liege to free themselves from a tyrannical Bishop-John of Bavaria, 1408-1414, says: 'Half a Century later the Liegios instigated by Louis XI., of France waged another struggle against another Bishop, Louis of Bourbon, a Nephew of Duke Philip of Bur gundy. His son, the future Duke Charles, forced the princi pality to acknowledge the Burgundian Duke as its hereditary protector. In 1467 after defeating the Liegios in the field, Charles, now Duke in his father's place, annihilated their privileges and re established the Bishop, but at the same time reduced the prin cipality to the condition of a Burgundian fief. Charles was trying to revive the whole feudal system and to make an alliance with Edward IV., King of England. In 1468 as an English Army was preparing to disembark in France, Louis XI., went to the Court of Charles to negotiate in person and avert the danger. At that moment a rebellion which he had previously incited and which he had neglected to countermand broke out in Liege. Charles, incensed, imprisoned his guest in the castle of Peronne. Louis obtained his free dom only by hard concessions, and by marching with the duke against Liege. The recalcitrant city was overtaken by a fear ful doom and the pillaged churches were virtually all that was left standing after seven weeks sack. On January 5, 1477, in battle with the Swiss at Nancy, Charles the Bold was defeated and met his death. In 1482, William de la Marek in command of the fortress of Liege met the Bishop in Battle and this same Louis of Bour bon before mentioned met his death and that was called murder. Three years aftenvard Maxmillian as the Emperor of Austria was seeking to overpower the Flemings and \Villiam de la Marek was captured in battle, and though in command of VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 69 an army was executed Aug. 30, 1485. Had conditions been reversed and the Emperor executed, doubtless it would have been called murder. In both cases William de la Marek was fighting in defense of his people.

Henderson's Sliort History of Germany, 1902, which begins with the period of the acquisition of the "Cleve Heritage", and the historian says: "Leaving aside for a moment the gen eral history of Germany, it became necessary to trace the steps by which one state rose :;o high above the rest that it finally be came acknowledged head and leader. Up to the accession of that, Frederick William, who was later known as the Great Elector, the family of Hohenzollern could boast of no distin guished members and their territory consisted of scattered prov inces with no real bond of union. Thus far the possessions of the Hohenzollerns had been very modest indeed, but two gen erations after Joachim, under Elector Joh1, Sigismond, the grand father of the Great Elector, there came a change of the ac quisitions to the eastward we shall speak of in another con nection; for the present it is enough to trace the steps by which Brandenburg achieved the Rhenish provinces." In the epitome of Prussian history we herewith present as a result of genealogical investigation, it would perhaps be diffi cult to find in like space in any history facts involving so much of world history by which the Hohenzollern family were enabled to conceive and establish the Prussian Monarchy; to note the rapid rise to power of this family who claim to rule by Divine Will, beginning with but a single province three centuries away. James Henry Robinson, in O:,tlincs of European History, says: "While it has always been the pride of the Hohenzollern family that practically every one of its reigning members has added something to what his ancestors handed down to him, no great extension took place until 1614, when the Elector of Brand enburg inherited Cleve and .Mark and thus got his first hold upon the Rhine district, and four years l.•ter the duchy of Prussia, which was separated from Brandenburg by Polish territory, and no distinguished members until Frederick William. who w-as fit ted to weld the scattered domains into a powerful state''. i2 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY J11tcr11ational Encyclopaedia says of Hohenzollern: "The name is derived from the ancestral castle of Zollern or Hohen zollern in Swabia. The origin of the house is involved in ob scurity, and the story of its descent from Count Thasila is a fic tion of the sixteenth century." "The greatness of Brandenburg may be dated from 1618. when John Sigismond became through marriage, Duke of Prussia; Prussia under the energetic rule of the Great Elector, Frederick William, 1640-1688, rose to the po sition of a leading state of Northern Europe. In addition to Brandenburg and East Prussia its dominions embraced the east ern and larger half of Pomerania and the former seas of Hal berstadt, Menden and l\fadgeburg, all acquired in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648; together with Oeve. l\Iark and Ravens burg in the region of the Rhine and Westphalia. Under his son and successor the Elector Frederick III., (Frederick I., King of Prus sia), this realm was transformed at the very beginning of the eighteenth century ( liOl) into the Kingdom of Prussia, into which the history of Brandenburg subsequently is merged"'. From these histories we cull and compile in brief form the following remarkable combination of facts which led to and cul minated in the creation of the Prussian Monarchy. The Hohenzollern family were practically unknown as a political force until 1415, when Frederick I., became Margrave of Brandenburg and there were practically no accession to their estates for more than a century. Prussia, from which the kingdom took its name was known as Po-Russia or East Prussia and was a province or part of Poland and in 1526, Sigismund I., King of Poland vested this territory in Albert I., as Duke of Prussia, whose mother was a sister of the King; Brandenburg and Prussia were then in pos session of different branches of the Hohenzollems. The Counts of Mark are all descendants of Theodoric I., Count of Tiesterbant and Oeve, who died i59; Counts of Oeve were then without family name; Oeve is an ancient Countship of Germany adjacent to the Holland line. Mark also is an ancient Countship of Germany adjacent to the Holland line which was in possession of the same family as Counts of Mark for seven Centuries from 900 to 1609. Ander- VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 73 son's Royal Genealogy says: "Theodoric, Count of Altena, Mark, and Berg, who died, A.D., 900, called his offspring Counts of Mark, and Count of Berg, and from Counts of Mark the family name Van der Mark, or De la Marek, was derived. Upon the death of John II., Count of Cleve in 1368, the Counts of Mark became possessed of Cleve also, which thereafter became a duchy and which the Counts of ~lark retained until the death of John William in 1609 without issue, when Mark, Cleve, Julich, Berg, Ravenburg and Ravenstein, by marriage, passed to the possession of the Hohenzollerns." Of these territories, all of which were the estate of William V., Count of Mark, Tlze Cambridge lvfodcrn History states: "The Peace of Westphalia failed to effect any final settlement of the Julich, Cleve, Berg question, which had so nearly antedated by a decade the outbreak of the Great War, and no settlement was made until 1666, when by the Treaty of Cleves, Brandenburg was awarded permanent possession of Cleve, Mark and Raven burg; and N euberg of J ulich and Berg; a settlement which lasted until the expiration of the Neuberg line in 1742." Lippincott's Ga:::ctteer says: "Nearby the town of Altenah Schlossberg are the ruins of the ancestral castle of the Counts of Mark, erected in the tenth century; ancestors on the female side of the Prussian Royal House." The family name of Dukes of Prussia was Hohenzollern; the family name of Counts of Mark and of Dukes of Cleve preceding the death of John William in 1609 was Van der Mark and in French De la Marek. Many royal genealogical records show four main branches of the Van der Mark family: Mark, Aremberg, Sedan and Lumain. William V., Count of Mark, Duke of Cleve. Julich, Berg and Ravensbcrg.

Albert Frederick (son of Albert I.. Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and first Duke of Prussia) married Feb. 7, 1573, 74 VAN DE :MARK ANCESTRY Maria Eleanor, daughter and heiress of William V., Count of Mark, and they had Anne, July 3, 1576, (d. 1625), Mary Sophia, Eleanor, 1583, and Magdalen. Joachim Frederick, (1546-1608), son and successor of John George of Brandenburg. married, 1570. Catherine of Ct1strim. and they had John Sigismund, born Nov. 8, 1572, (d. 1619), Ernest, John, George and Christian William; for his second wife he married Eleanor, daughter of Albert Frederick and sister of Anne, wife of John Sigismund. John Sigismund on Oct. 30, 1594, married Anne, daughter of Albert Frederick, Duke of Prussia and granddaughter of William V., Count of 1Iark, and heiress of all the estates of "William The Rich," they had George \Villiam, 1595 ( d. 1640), Catherine and Eleanora. The death of William V., in 1592. followed by the death of his son, John William in 1609, without issue, terminated the Oeve line Counts of 1Iark, and Ann became heiress to the "Cleve Heritage." John Sigismund, by the death of Joachim Frederick in 1608, fell heir to Brandenburg. and upon the death of her father, Albert Frederick in 1618, Ann became heiress to Prussia. By these marriages and the union of these estates as a politi cal force, John Sigismund and his ,,;fe became the progenitors of the Prussian Royal House. The wealth, the power, the char acteristic acquisitiveness and aggressiveness so dominant in both families were now joined and concentrated in one family. 'What momentous results have followed. Beginning with a strip of territory extending some ninety miles to the East and \Vest of the then little town of Berlin the successive rulers of the House of Hohenzollern have gradually extended their boundaries until the present Kingdom of Prussia extends all the way across Ger many and embraces nearly two-thirds of the present German Empire. George \Villiam, son of John Sigismund and Ann. married Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate and they had Frederick William The Great Elector, born at Berlin, Feb. 16, 1620 ( d. May 9, 1688). He married Louisa Henrietta, daughter of Henry Frederick. Prince of Orange, and they had Frederick IL (b. 165i), 1668-1701-Frederick I., King of Prussia, 1701-li13. VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 75 SOCIAL CONDITIONS PRECEDING THE REVOLUTION IN THE NETHERLANDS The tenth to the sixteenth centuries was a period of great barbarity. Printing was unknown until the fifteenth century, the masses had but few books, and opportunity for education was very limited. It was a time of evolution. Revolution and civil war was the normal condition of society. There was a prolonged and bitter struggle to overthrow the Church as a controlling power over the State. "In the first place, every one in the :Middle Ages was re quired to belong to the Church somewhat in the same way that today we all belong as a matter of course to the State. It is true that one was not born into the Church as we are into the State, but he was ordinarily baptized into it before he had any opinion in the matter. All Western Europe formed a single religious association from which it was a crime to revolt. To refuse allegiance to the Church, or to question its authority or teaching, was reputed treason against God, the most terrible of all crimes. \\"hen the clergy declared a person guilty of heresy, as a rejection of the Church's doctrines was called, the King's officials were by law required to execute him, since doubt or disbelief was regarded not merely as sinful but as a criminal revolt against an institution which practically every one esteemed more essential to the existence of order and civiliza tion than even the King's authority."-T/zc Dt:11elopmcnt of Modern Europe, by Charles A. Beard and James H. Robinson. The penalty of death was inflicted also upon belie,;ers who showed any disapproval of methods. This could have but one result : murder and massacre on e,;ery hand. "Luthcrism dates from the 31st of October, 1517, when Lu ther affi..xed his theses to the church door at the Castle of \Vit tenberg; although he did not break with the Catholic Church until three years later."-Catlzolic Encyclopaedia. In 1521 Emperor Charles V. issued an edict which decreed death for all the disciples and converts of :Martin Luther in the Netherlands and forfeiture of all their goods. i6 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY In 1564 events in the :Netherlands were fast leading to rev olution. "About this time the lesser nobility began to or ganize resistance. and in 1566 a Confederacy was formed all the members of which signed a document called The Compromise, by which they bound themselves to help and protect one an other against persecution and to extirpate the Inquisition from the land. They drew up a petition known as The Req1wst, which upon April 5, 1566, was presented by the Confederates to Mar garet the Regent in the Council Chamber in Brussels. As the Regent appeared disquieted by the approach of two or three hundred men in sericcl column Earlaymont was heard to say to Margaret, 'What, :\ladam, is it possible that Your Highness is afraid of these beggars?' The phrase was seized upon and made a party name and from this the patriots of the Nether lands became known as 'The Beggars.' Those on land were called 'The Wild Beggars' and those on the water 'The Sea Beggars'."-Encyclopaedia Britannica. After the Inquisition had been established by King Philip II, who had succeeded his father to the throne, the Duke of Alva was placed at the head of the army. This man had been engaged in war all his life and was justly held to be the ablest general in Europe. "He was perhaps the blood-thirstiest man who ever existed in what is called the civilized world, and he was sent to the Netherlands to satiate himself. The army was worthy of the general : he commanded the finest and most merciless troops in Europe.'' On Sept. 9, 156i, Alva established the Council of Troubles, which has passed into history as the Blood Coun::il. Though erected by the mere fiat of the Duke, without any legal status whatever, it exercised authority over all other tribunals. The Duke as President of the Council reserved to himself the final decision in all cases. It slew its thousands. "Feb. 16, 1568, a sentence of the Holy Office condemned all of the inhabitants of the Netherlands to death as heretics. A proclamation of the King ten days later confirmed this de cree of the Inquisition and ordered it to be carried into instant execution without regard to age, sex or condition. Alva in a letter to Philip coolly estimated the number of executions which C,w:--:T \\"11.I.I.\\! ,·.,:--: !>EH '.\L1kK. l!.\kO:S: OF r..-~ns. E-rc . . \dmira1 11 f the.· IJut.:h Flc.:L't known a~ ..

A tax of one per cent was laid upon all property, real and personal, to be collected immediately. This tax was to be paid once. A perpetual tax of five per cent was imposed upon every transfer of real estate. A perpetual ta.--< of ten per cent was as sessed upon every article of merchandise as often as it should be sold. This is only a brief outline of conditions existing in the Neth erlands when, on April 1. 1572, the Sea Beggars under the command of Count Van der Mark captured the town of Brill and the news spread rapidly that "the Dutch have taken Hol land." COUNT WILLIAM VAN DER MARK, BARON LUMEY Count Van der Mark, or Count De la l\Iarck, called Baron Lumey in many histories, Admiral of "The Sea Beggars" and one of the principal founders of the Dutch Republic, was heredi tary ruler of the independent Principality of Lurnain, of which the City of Leige was the Capital. In order to do a measure of belated justice to the memory of one who, as the historian Strada put it, "boasted himself to be the sole Infranchiser of Holland," quotations are here given at some length from various sources. Lumey's was just another case of the proverbial injustice of Re publics. The Rise of the Dutch Republic, by John Lothrop Motley, is a brilliant and deservedly popular history, but many reliable authorities are of the opinon that the title should have been The Life of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, whose achieve ments are greatly exaggerated. with a corresponding lack of appreciation of the accomplishments of others. Following are a few quotations from :Motley: "The Dutch Republic originated in the opposition of the rational elements of human nature to sacerdotal dogmatism and persecution-in the courageous resistance of historical and char tered liberty to foreign despotism. The great cause of the re volt was the Inquisition. 78 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY "The rise of the Dutch Republic must ever be regarded as one of the leading events of modern times. From the hand-breadth of territory called Holland rises a power which wages eighty years' warfare with the most potent empire on earth, and which during the progress of the struggle, becoming itself a mighty State, and binding about its own slender form a zone of the richest possessions of earth, from pole to tropic, finally dictates its decrees to the Empire of Charles. "Driven by Elizabeth from the ports of England, twenty four vessels of various sizes, commanded by Van der Mark, Treslong, Adam van Haren, Brand, and other distinguished seamen, set sail from Dover in the very last days of March, 1572. Being almost in a state of starvation, these adventurers were naturally anxious to supply themselves with food. They deter mined to make a sudden foray upon the coasts of North Hol land, and accordingly steered for Enkhuizen, both because it was a rich seaport and because it contained many secret partisans of the Prince. On Palm Sunday they captured two Spanish merchantmen. Soon afterwards, however, the wind becoming contrary, they were unable to double The Helder or Texel, and Tuesday, the 1st of April, 1572, having abandoned their origi nal intention, they dropped dovm toward Zeeland and entered the broad mouth of the river Maas to the town of Brill." Motley then describes the taking of the town of Brill as fol lows: "The whole rebel force was divided into two parties, one of which under Treslong, made an attack upon the southern gate, while the other commanded by the Admiral advanced upon the northern. Treslong after a short struggle succeeded in forc ing an entrance. De la Marek and his men made a bonfire at the northern gate and then battered down the half:.burned por tal with the end of an old mast. Thus rudely and rapidly did the Netherland patriots conduct their first successful siege. The two parties, not more perhaps than two hundred and fifty men in all, met before sunset in the center of the city, AND THE FOUNDATION OF THE DUTCH REPUBLIC WAS LAID. The weary Spirit of Freedom, so long a fugitive over earth and sea, had at last found a resting place. which rude and even ribald hands had prepared. No indignity was offered to the inhab- VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY 79 itants of either sex, but the altars and images in the churches were all destroyed and thirteen monks and priests were arrest ed and imprisoned and a few days later, by order of the ferocious Admiral, executed under circumstances of great barbarity. "Allusion has more than once been made to those formidable partisans of the patriot cause, the marine outlaws. The Beggars of the Sea asked their alms through the mouths of their can non. To make war upon Alva was the object of all these free booters, and they were usually furnished by the Prince of Orange, in his capacity of sovereign, with letters of marque for that pur pose. The Prince, indeed, did his utmost to control and direct an evil which had inevitably grown out of the horrors of the time. His Admiral, William de la Marek, was, however, incap able of comprehending the lofty purposes of his superior. A wild, sanguinary, licentious noble, wearing his hair and beard unshorn, according to ancient Batavian custom, until the death of his relative, Egmont, should have been expiated, a worthy descendant of 'The Wild Boar of the Ardennes,' this hirsute and savage corsair seemed an embodiment of vengeance. He had sworn to wreak upon Ah-a and upon Papery the deep revenge owed to them by the Netherland nobility, and in the cruelties afterwards practised by him upon monks and priests, the Blood Council learned that their example had made at least one ripe scholar among the rebels. "The Prince of Orange granted a commission to his brother Louis. one of the most skilful and audacious soldiers of the age. This commission was a somewhat startling d·ocument. It author ized the Count to levy troops and wage war a,,,oainst Philip strict ly for Philip's good. The fiction of loyalty certainly never went further. This mask of loyalty would never save his bead from the block, as he well k"Ilew. but some spirits lofty as his own, might, perhaps, be influenced by a noble sophistry which sought to strengthen the cause of the people by attributing virtue to the King." This defect in the character of Orange of hypocritically pre tending loyalty to the King and praising him while making war against him, to Motley was a "noble sophistry." All his powers of vituperation were reserved for Lumey, and his sympathy was for the few who suffered the just penalty for their crimes rather 80 VAN DE MARK ANCESTRY than for their many thousands of innocent ,.;ctims. According to Motley when the Prince fled from the Netherlands in the Spring of 1568 he said that he still was in possession of 60,000 florins yearly, and that he should commence no hostilities a.,,aainst Philip so long as he did not disturb him in his honor or his estates. "The importance of the capture of Brill and Flushing can hardly be overestimated," continues Motley. "Instantly aftern-ard half the island of Walc:ieren renounced the yoke of Alva. Ne.'-"'t, Enkhuizen, the key to the Zuyder Zee, the principal arsenal and one of the first commercial cities in the Netherlands, rose a.,,aainst the Spanish Admiral and hung out the banner of Orange on its ramparts. The revolution was accomplished under nearly sim ilar circumstances everywhere. With one fierce bound of en thusiasm the nation shook off its chain." The Prince of Orange was dissatisfied with the enterprise of Count Van der Mark. He thought it premature and doubted whether it would be possible to hold the place. Count Louis, brother of the Prince, whom 1fotley called "one of the most sldlful and audacious soldiers of the age," upon hearing of the talcing of Brill, e.-cclaimed "The fools ! They were too hasty !" Count Van der Mark and the event proved both of them to have been wrong. Attention is called tv the opinion held by the following author ities regarding Motley's reliability: The Historian's History of the World, Vol. 14, p. 73, says of Motley: "A number of modern historians consider him more brilliant than trustworthy, declaring that he was not without parti sanship, and that he culti.-ated his imagination to the detriment of his historical perception." John Franklin Jameson, in a biographical sketch of Motley in Warner's Library of the World's Best Literature, says: "The historians of that generation were mostly political and not con stitutional. Neither did l\Iotley entirely escape those dangers of partiality which beset the dramatic historian. Under his hands William of Orange, a character undeniably heroic, became almost faultless." The Encycfopaetiia Britannica says: "Within three months of the capture of Brill, Amsterdam "-as the only tov:n in Holland in the hands of the Spaniards." VAN DE ]\,L\RK ANCESTRY 81 William Elliot Griffis, author of Brave Little Holland, in a let ter published in the New York Tn"bune June 23, 1915, about the origin of the national flag of Holland, said: "The orange, white and blue was purposely and consciously made the sym bol of freedom from the oppressor, Spain, by the Beggars of the Sea as early as 15i2. ONE OF THE DECISIVE BATILES OF THE WORLD WAS THEIR CAPTURE OF BRILL. Then 'the Dutch took Holland'-as the news headings of 15i2 announced. From that time forth the Prince of Orange ac knowledged and commissioned these sea rovers to fight for him and for their native and bis adopt'!d fatherland. Sea power, either as '1 literary theme or as a formulated science, :was not at the front in Motley's day. Hence the subordination in his narrative of the decisive nature of the Netherlands marine." Another very interesting account. in the quaint language of that time, is from The History of the Lrr.o-Countrey Warrcs, by Famianus Strada, printed in Latin in 1632, and in English in 1667. It will be noticed that Strada gives Lumey credit for being the mrr.nng spirit. It is as follows: "The Warre was begun upon the Sea of Holland, as if they had now already found their strength, and were sensible from the very first in what part they should establish their Domin ion. And notwithstanding this Rebellion was often intended and attempted by the Gueuses, as well those of Corporations called the City-Gheuses, as the High-way-men called the W ood-Gheuses, yet the W ater-Gheuses ( for so they were commonly called) were they whose fortunate Audacity carried it. The Commander in chicle of these Water-Gheuses · was Count William A :Mar cha, Baron of Lume, professing his enmity to the Duke of Alva in his Colours, wherein was painted ten pieces of money to in flame the fury of his men by putting them in mind of the tenth part. "They fell upon the Brill, a Port-towne of Zeland. With unimaginable success they took the Place upon Palm-Sunday. Upon reinrt of the taI,.;ng of this Isle 'tis not to be told what won derful changes through all the Low-countreys immediately insued. "Besides Amsterdam and Schoonhoven, that were still faith ful to the Spaniard, the Duke of Alva lost almost all Holland and a great part of Zeland, which had so shaken off the terror of his 82 name that they "Tote publique Libells against him ; and as soon as Brill ·was taken pictured him with a paire of Spectacles put upon·his Nose by Lume standing behind his back: for the Low Dutch call Spectacles Brills, as they have a jeering Proverb when they hamper a man that they put Spectacles on his nose and a snaffle in his mouth. These Figures therefore signified that Alva's Severity was now bridled. "Though some of the Cityes wavered at first they finally came in to the Prince of Orange and, as if he had been their Kinge, Lume moving it, took an oath of Fidelity to him. Thus at last the water brought forth this new Commonwealth. ''\Vhereunto may be added the banishment of William A Mar cha Count Lume by command of the Prince of Orange, who (as I conceive) looked not with equall eyes upon the man boast ing himselfe to be the sole Infranchiser of Holland. He ·was put out of his Lieuetenant-Generalls Place and committed Prisoner. After his release he published his Complaint in Print, That he who had freed the Maritime Provinces and taught the world by experience that the Spaniards were conquerable, should be re warded by the Hollanders with such Usage." The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. III, page 224, states: "In November, 1568, the Prince of Orange ,vas forced to with draw his army across the Frenc!': border, where it '\\"3.5 disband ed. Well might Alva write, '\Ve may regard the Prince as a dead man; he has neither influence nor credit.' His failures. moreover, had well-nigh destroyed any reputation he possessed for ability and leadership. Afraid of assassination by the agents of Alva, afraid of his creditors, afr-.ud of being placed under the Ban of the Empire, he v,·andered about from place to place, not daring to take up his residence permanently at Dillenberg." Such '\\"3.5 the situation at the beginning of the year 15i2. There was neither form nor shadow of any organization claim ing to represent the independence of the Netherlands. The Prince of Orange had been in exile for three years and there was not a ray of light or hope until Admiral Van der Mark made the successful assault upon Brill, ,vhich '\\"3.5 immediately followed by the capture of Flushing and a general uprising throughout the Netherlands. Follo'\\-ing is the opinion of another historical '\\Titer: 83 "All that was done by William of Orange and his chivalrous brothers, Louis, John and Henry, against Alba by land was but little in comparison with what was effected by the Sea. Beggars on the sea and the sea coast. They were no hirelings seeking to make a gain of war, but fugitives from all the States who had been driven from house and home by •.<\lba's executions and who wanted to reconquer their country. Eminent men who bad gained renown in na,ral affairs were at their head; their Admiral was the w11d 'William von der Mark. Under his leadership twenty four of their ships bad taken Brill, by a successful strategem, on the 1st of April, 15i2, and thereby secured a point on the coast from which all the North, Holland and Zeeland. nright be wrest ed from the Spaniards.

Referring to conditions after Van der :Mark's removal, Pieter Christianszoon Bor, the Dutch historian, says: "In addition to all these disadvantages, they had lost, after the surrender of Harlem in July, 1573, one of their ablest commanders in Wil hem Van der l\Iark, Lord of Lumey. \Vhatever his errors and defects he cannot but be looked upon as ONE OF THE PRIN CIPAL FOUNDERS OF THE LIBERTIES OF HOL L~1J." That the Prince of Orange had a deep appreciation of the services rendered by Count Van der :Mark ·was made manifest when at the session of the Estates in July, 1572, he "authorized 'my dear cousin' to enlist troops, to accept the fealty of cities, to furnish them with garrisons, to re-establish all the local laws, municipal rights and ancient privileges which had been sup pressed, to maintain freedom of religwn, under penalty of death to those wlzo infringed it." Van der Mark's commission was read to the deputies and ratified by them. Of his appointment C. W. Davis says, in his History of Holland, that "it was of inestimable value at the present juncture, from his activity and promptness of decision. qualities in which the Prince himself seems to have been so lamentably deficient." After he had led an unsuccessful e.'Cpedition for the relief of Harlem, Van der Mark was deprived of his commission. He 84 VAN DE l\lARK ANCESTRY blamed this failure on the fact that his soldiers had not been paid for a long time. The usual e."q>lanation for his dismissal is cruelty, though with hornole barbarities being practised on every hand it is difficult to see how any military man could es cape the charge. The Dutch, maddened by the cruelties of the Spanish invaders, were returning it in kind. In fact, as Motley says, a Spaniard had ceased to be human in their eyes. The cruelties of which Van der Mark was accused seem fe,.v and comparatively mild in comparison with those of the enemy. That they were sometimes directed a,,,oainst monks and priests is not difficult to understand when one remembers the part that the Church of Rome played in the sufferings of the Netherlands and the fact that the entire population of the country had been con demned to death as heretics by order of the Pope. The charge against Lumey is that he retaliated in kind against his enemies and the enemies of his country While it is unjust to lift him out of his era and environment and judge him by the standards pre.'ailing in another age, the law of retribution is a righteous law, as the Scriptures prove. "\Vhoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." ( Gen. 9 :6). Haman was hanged by members of his own organization on the gallows that he had built for !i.Icrdecai. The Great Teacher said: "With the same measure that ye meet \\;thal, it shall be measured to you again," and on another notable occasion: "He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword." The Prince of Orange also gave adherence to the principle of retaliation. \Vhen his dear friend St. Aldegonde had been taken prisoner by the Spanish, who were going to torture him to death, the Prince. in the words of Strada. "threatened what soever was done to Count Aldegund should. be suffered by Count Bolduc," ( the Spanish Admiral whom the Sea Beggars had captured). The threat would have proved ineffectual if the Spanish had not believed that it would be carried out. Both men were released unharmed in due time. During the American Revolution George \Vashington is said to have threatened retaliation against the British ii they did not cease their brutal treatment of American prisoners. In this year of Our Lord, 1940, all the principal nations of the world are making great preparations for attacking each other VA.-.. DE MARK AXCE:SI'RY 85 ·with great air fleets loaded with explosive and incendiary bombs and poison gas-and all are in mortal dread of retaliation in ldnd. The bombing and machine-gunning from the air of non-combatants men, women and children-in Ethiopia, in Spain, a.-:id in China have horrified and sickened the rest of the world. Tyrants in all ages have called those who opposed them out laws, brigands, bandits and pirates, ::ind the political ·writers, pseudo-historians and religionists of th.: time have colored their writings to suit the e.xigencies of the e.xisting government, either because of sympathy ther~";th or because it was dangerous to do othern-ise. So it is even today when. as all the world knows, the true patriots in many countries have been murdered, e.~led, or put in penal colonies or concentration camps and brutally treated.

Some of the early church records give both the date of birth and the date of baptism. In this book, ·with a few exceptions, the birth date only is given when known. In some instances it is not known whether the date given is that of birth or baptism. When any one has identified himself or his line, by using the index or otherwise, his line can easily be followed bac:h.,vard and forn-ard by means of the numbers; consequently the repetition of a long line of Christian names of ancestors at the beginning of each family, such as is found in many genealogies, has been omitted. All known information concerning those Van der Marks who are not in numerical order in the numbered line will be found under the heading of Unclassified Data. l\Iilitary records and authorities are given in detail in the Appenduc, although some are briefly described in the te.'Ct. Source of Information The question of proof in genealogy is all important and ll~end.c; wholly upon the e."Cistence of records. Genealogy has a very practical use in questions of succession to prop erty; it is of value in solving problems of heredity; and it may be of urgent demand in establishing questions of race. Those American and English women who have married Germans and thereby acquired German nation ality have been forced recently to give full details of their si:.-..1:een great great-grandparents in order to prove that their ancestry to that date (about 1750) held no admi:.-..1:Ure of Jewish blood. The sources of information for compiling this genealogy are many and varied and include the published archives of the States of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which are voluminous and contain much that is of a personal nature as well as that relating to public affairs; the census, military and pension records of the United States Government; 92 VAN DER MARK .ANCESTRY the records of many of the early Reformed Dutch Churches containing bap tisms and marriages, some of which have been published and are avail able. This great mass of historical data may be divided into three main classes as follows : First. Records dealing with the acts and affairs of individuals such as church records of baptisms and marriages, Bible entries, diaries and letters; records relating to the ownership of land such as deeds and mort gages ; wills and administrations ; court records ; vital statistics ; tombstone inscriptions, etc. Second. Public records dealing with the conduct and affairs of the State such as land grants from the Crown or local government, patents, v,rarrants, etc. ; revenue and ta.-cation ; legal proceedings about land ; land bounty rights and pensions of soldiers, etc. Third. Printed records such as local histories, family histories and many genealogical publications. The ·work Projects Administration of the United States Government is making an Inventory of County Archives in some States. If this is done for ulster County, New York, and some of the nearby counties, addi tional information about the Van der Mark family may be discovered. A census of the people of the United States has been taken every ten years, commencing \\;th the year 1790. The first census, which was taken by r... mi~ies, shows that there were 20 heads of Van der l\Iark families in Ulster Co., N. Y., who had 100 other members in their families. At the same time there were 6 heads of Van der Mark families in Northampton Co., Pa., who had 24 other members in their families. This makes a total of 150 persons named Van der :Mark, in some of its various spellings, in the States of New York and Pennsylvania in the year 1790. The Van der 1'.farks are known to have been in the State of New Jersey very early, but how many were there is not knov.-n because the 1790 census recorrts for that State were among those destroyed at \Vashington, D. C., by the British :nvaders in 1814. The United States census records for the following places and years have also been searched for Van der Marks: Tioga County, N. Y., and Luzerne and Wayne Counties, Pa., for the year 1800. Allegany and Tioga Counties, K Y., and Bradford. Luzerne, Ly coming and Pike Counties, Pa., for the year 1810. Susse.'C County, N. J., for the year 1830. Allegany, Broome. Tioga, Tompkins and Ulster Counties, N. Y., and Susquehanna County, Pa., for the year 1850. ulster County, N. Y., for the year 1880.

All that is attempted here is to give a general idea of their origin and method of selection. Family names or surnames have been derived from four principal sources, namely, patronymic, locality, occupation, personal characteristic. In the early days, when family names were just coming into general use, there were three main systems, which may be briefly descn"bed as the patronymic system, the tribal system and the mixed system. The patronymic system consisted in prefixing the child's Chri.ctian name to the father's terminating in se or sen. For example, a man named Jan had a son who would be named Jan Janse or Jan Jansen, which simply means John the son of John, or John Johnson. The tribal system consisted in adding an additional name which fre quently became the surname of the :fann1y. The mixed system, which is modern, is the tribal system with the addition of double or treble Christian names. Among the Dutch it was the rule, although not always followed, to name the first son after bis paternal grandfather, the second after his father, the third after bis maternal grandfather, and the others after their uncles on both sides. Similarly, the girls were named, the first after her maternal grandmother, the second after her mother, the third after her paternal grandmother, and the rest after their aunts. After marriage the Dutch girl seldom, if ever, lost her name or identity by merging it with that of her husband. She was usually known as Jaco myntje Jacobs, v.,;fe of Thomas Van der Mark, for e.'Calilple. In the Netherlands the word "van" never had any significance other than "of" or "from." In Germany, however, the word "von" means noble. and all families of the nobility prefix it to the family name. Some Van der Mark families in the United States have the erroneous tradition regarding the orgin of the family name that "a Hollander named Van married a French de Mark and combined the two names into Van de Mark." · In some instances among the early Dutch families who settled in New Netherland brothers have taken different family names. No effort bas been made for uniformity in the spelling of Christian names in this book. In most instances they have been spelled as found in the records. Examples: Sarah, Sara; Cornelius, Cornelis. 96 VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY HISTORICAL New Netherland. Its Early Settlement. Organization of the West India Company. The Patroon System Established. A few facts culled from several histories (principally Oearwater's), chronologically stated, relating to the early settlement of New Netherland, especially that part thereof which was ulster County, N. Y., as established in 1683 when the original ten counties were formed, may not be unwelcome to the numerous descendants of Thomas Van der Mark, who may not have ready access to histories of that period. In 1609 Henry Hudson, representing the· Dutch East India Company, seeking a northwest passage to the East Indies, sailed up the great river now bearing his name and anchored his ship, the Half Moon, where the Rondout Creek empties into the river. In 1610 he returned a.r.id established there for the Dutch East India Company a post for trading with the Indians, which was named Atkark arton or as spdled by some translators, Athathacton, an Algonquin word probably meaning "lovely land." In 1614 the States General of Holland granted to the United Nether lands Company a charter conveying among other exclusive rights for a period of four years that to navigate the river and trade with the Indians. Acting under this grant the Company took possession and erected three forts--one at the Battery at New York, one near Albany and one at the mouth of the Rondout Creek, which is now in the City of Kingston. Kingston, therefore, is older than Plymouth. In 1621 the Dutch West India Company was organized with almost unlimited powers to colonize, govern and defend the territory later known as Ne\,,,. Netherland. In 1623 the Province of New ~etherland was formed, extending from the Connecticut River to the Delaware River, which was to be governed by a Director-General appointed by the 01amber of .Amsterdam. The same year a ship called the Nc--.u Netherland was sent with thirty \Valloon families and supplies. Some went to Manhattan, some to Albany, some to Hartford and some to Delaware. Contrary to popular belief these first settlers were not seeking religious asylum. but their object "·:is purely commercial, that is ex-tension of trade with the Indians. from whom they immediately bought the Island of l\Ianhattan for 60 guilders, or about $24.00. It was soon e,;dent that it would be difficult to obtain settlers for the new colony and in 1629 the Chamber of Amsterdam adopted a plan or charter called "Freedoms and Exemptions." This was the first instru- VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 97 ment under which lands in the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Dela·ware and Connecticut were acquired and on which titles rest. Oearwater's History of l.J1ster County, at page 48, says: "The man ner in which titles to land had been obtained by the pioneers under the Dutch administration was by individual purchase from the Indians, in some cases by gifts from them ; sometimes from grant by the local court, in the village by assignment. Under the new or English rule all titles, by what ever authority, were required to be surrendered to the Governor and new titles obtained from him, and purchases from the Indians, except by license, were forbidden ... No previous title w-as held to be invalid, but legal order was introduced. Presumably the titles of the early settlers were returned to the Governor and renewed and new patents granted." The title of "Patroon of New Netherland" was to be given to those who within four years should establish a colony of 50 souls of more than 15 years of age. Each Patroon was granted 16 miles on one side of a navigable river or 8 miles on each side, which was to extend as far into the country as circumstances would permit. It was stipulated that the ·west India Company "will use their endeavors to supply the colonists with as many blacks as they con,;eniently can.'' Census of ulster County in 1703.

In 1703 l\Iarbletown, where the Van der ~farks were located, had a population of 206 whites and 21 negro slaves, a total of 227 persons. April 29, 1775, "The Freemen, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the City and County of New York" adopted the bold and manly "Articles of :\sso ciation" and sent them to all the counties in the State for signatures. Many in Ulster county openly declared it to be treason. but a large num ber immediately signed and offered their lives and fortunes in the defense of Liberty. Nearly all the adult male members of the Van der Mark family signed. The list of those who reiused to sign does not contain a single Van der Mark. Kingston had its own little "Tea Party·• when ::\Io!Iie Elmendorf and her relath·e John. who had 7.000 pounds of tea in a warehouse, refused to sell any unless the ta.'i: imposed by the British Parliament was paid. 98 VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY The women of Kingston met at the court house and marched in a body to the warehouse, smashed in the door, and each weighed out what tea she wanted, deposited the price fixed by the Continental Congress on the counter, and went home. The organization of the State government began at Kingston July 30, li7i, by the inauguration of George Ointon as Governor. The first Legis lature met in the home of Abraham Van Gasbeek, now known as "The Old Senate House," which was built in 16i6 by Col Wessel Ten Broeck and is the oldest public bw1ding in the United States. After remaining in ses sion about a month they .:ppointed a new Council of Safety and adjourned, an invasion of Kingston by the British being imminent. The Council of Safety was thus the real e.xecutive authority of the State, Governor Oin ton being in the field with the Continental forces. At the burning of Kingston, Oct. 16, liii, the Council fled to Marbletown, which thus became the Capital of New York State. Historical Collections of Pennsylvania, by Sherman Day, at page 12, states: "Delaware ·was first settled by the Dutch; Pennsylvania by the Swedes. It is not certain, however, that there were not Dutch settlements on the soil of Pennsylvania as early as, o:- earlier, than those of the Swedes. The settlements at Esopus, on the Hudson, were commenced as early as 1616, and from this place, probably not many years after its first occupation, there was a great road e.xtending over to the Delav;are River, communicating with mines near the Blue :Mountain, and v.;th numerous Dutch settlements along the flats of the Delaware." The Old Mine Road runs through the Rondout and Mamakating val leys, and thence through the "-alley of the Xeversink River. It is about 100 miles long and was the first road of equal length built in the United States. The first settlers in Wayne, Pike and :Monroe Counties, Pennsyl vania, came over this road from Esopus ( now Kingston) and other settle ments in ulster County, N. Y. The Provincial Government of Pennsyl vania had no knowledge of them before li25. The Old Dutch Church of Kingston, N. Y., is one of the oldest churches in the United States, having been organized in 1659. Its first minister \va5 Rev. Herman us Blom, who \'1,-as sent by the Consistory of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Amsterdam, Holland, in answer to a petition asking that a Dominie be sent who could preach in Dutch and English. The first entry in the church records reads, "I, Hermanus Blom, the first minister in the land of Esopus, preached my first sermon there on the 12th of September, 1660, having arrived there on Sunday the 5th of the same month in the Company )-acht." Seventeen members of the con gregation partook of the Lord's Supper, celebrated for the first time Sun- VA.-. DER }.L\RK .ANCESTRY 99 day December 6th, 1660. With some intermissions, when there was no regular minister, the records of this church extend to the present day. The available records were transcribed and edited by Rev. Roswell Randall Hoes, who had them printed in 1891. At least 27 church organizations have grown from the Kingston church. The Dutch Church at Marbletown is considered to be the no..."t oldest church in ulster County after the Kingston church, ·with which its early history is closely connected. While the exact date of its organization is not known, in 1676 a petition was sent to Governor-General Andross ask ing that a minister be sent to serve them. Thomas Van der Mark was one of the signers of this petition. The "Minisink country" consists of the valley of the Neversink River west of tl1e Shawangunk Mountains and the Delaware River valley as far as the Delaware Water Gap. The first settlements of which authentic knowledge can be obtained were made about 1690, at what was called the Upper Neighborhood, near Cuddebacl..-vil!e. The Neversink River was then called the Machackemeck. The first minister of the Gospel in the Minisink region was Rev. Petrus Vas, of Kingston. The earliest baptisms by him are in the records of the Kingston Dutch Reformed Church; others a.re in the Minisink-Machacke meck record. That the Van der Marks were in the Minisink region very early is proven by Kg:M 1127, which is as follows: "Date oi marriage not given. Cornelis Terwilligen, j. m., born and resid. in Sauenjunk (Sha"'-anjunk), and Catherina Van der Merken. j. d .• born in l\Ienessing (Minisink) and resid. in l\:Iarmel (:Marbletown). Banns registered 23 April, 1749. Acer tificate was given them 7 May, 1749." Since girls usually married when a.bout 20 years old, this proves that at least one family of Van der Marks lived in Minisink about 1729. Rev. George Wilhelmus Ma.ncius, who could speak Dutch, French, English and German, became the e;olleague of Vas at Kingston and its allied churches. He ,vas chiefly responsible for the organization of four Dutch Reformed churches in tl1e l\Iinisink region, which he visited in May and November each year. From 1737 to 1741 he baptized 142 persons there. The names and locations of these churches were as follows: The Minisink Church, which was about eight miles below Port Jervis, on the Old Mine Road, in Sussex Co .• N. J. The l\fachackemeck Church, which was on the Old :Mine Road about a quarter of a mile above the point where it crossed the Neversink River, which is in the present city of Port Jervis, N. Y. 100 VA.... DER MARK ANCESTRY The Walpeck Church, which was within the bend of the Delaware River about a mile west of the present village of Flatbrookville, Sussex Co., N. J. It also was on the Old Mine Road. The Smithfield Church, which was an Old Log Church located below the "Mine Holes" on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River oppo site Tock's Island near the present village of Shawnee. It is supposed to have been built about 1725, although no church organization existed unn1 1737. Rev. Johannes Casparus Fryenmoet was the first settled pastor of the Minisink congregations. As a young man he served them faithfully before he had been ordained by the Oassis at Amsterdam, Holland. He was required to go there for study and ordination and then returned to his duties in the )Iinisink region. This cau.,;ed a bitter contest resulting in the independence of the American branch of the church. The fact that two children in the same family were baptized at the same time is not necessarily evidence that they were twins. Often for long periods no minister was available, and Y,rhen circumstances permitted many were baptized on the same day. :Much of the data in this book relating to the early Van der )lark fami lies was derived from the records of the various Dutch churches in ulster County, N. Y., and the Minisink region, ,...,-ithout which it could not have been obtained. ( See the following authorities: Baptismal and ::\Iarriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, N. Y.

His tory of Bucks County, Pa., by William W. H. Davis, A. :\I., 1905. Vol. 2, Chapter 7). A meeting of members of the Van der :\lark family was held in \Vilkes Barre. Pa.• about 1888 and a family association formed the declared pur pose of which was "To provide for family meetings semi-annually or annu ally: to renew old friendships and find new friends; to strengthen the fam ily tie, and to secure and preserve all items of interest relating to the fam ily." In 1922 the name of "The Vandermark Family Association of Amer ica" was adopted. all lineal descendants of Thomas Van der 1-.fark being eligible to membership. A number of like groups have been formed in various parts of the Cnited States. one of which is located in the southern tier of counties in the State of '!\ew York just over the Pennsylvania line, the annual meetings of which have been held at Endicott, N. Y. There is a similar group in the State of )Iichigan. VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 101 THOMAS VAN DER MARK The name of Thomas Van der Mark, the progenitor of the Van der Mark family in America, first appears in the public records of Ulster Co., N. Y., in the Spring of 166i, when he joined a few of his neighbors in what has become known as the "Mutiny of Esopus," which was an uprising against the continual brutalities and oppressions of the British soldiers, for which no redress could be obtained. (For details see DHNY, Vol. 4, pp. 148 to 154; Vol. 22, pp. 21, 33). Esopus was the early name for what is now the city of Kingston. He is next heard of in April, 1668, in a court action for wages as fol lows: "Thomas Van Mercken, Complt. Tjerk Oaessen, Deft. Complt. demands of Deft. 12 Sch. of wheat for wages and complains that instead of payment he received a beating. Deft. says that he hired Complt. one month for nine Sch. of wheat, and four months at i¼ Sch. of wheat per month, and says that when he beat him he acted very improperly and :first threw a cup of beer in the fire, and protested not to owe him any more because he left about six weeks before the e.'\.-piration of his time. Complt. says he hired himself out by the month and contracted to receive his wages monthly, which Deft. denies. The honorable court orders Complt. to serve out his legal time and Deft. to pay Complt. his earned money as per contract." (See Liber 1, p. 5li, ulster County Sessions of Court, April i-li. 1668). June i, 1663, Esopus was burned by the Indians, who killed 18 whites and took 42 away into captivity, and destroyed all the outlying settlements. Dominie Blom wrote that 24 were killed and 45 made prisoners. Appar ently Thomas Van der Mark was not there at that time. There were only a few inhabitants and he is not mentioned in the detailed account of that calamity which is ::l'lrailable. It is reasonable to assume that he settled there some time between 1663 and 166i. The date of his arrival in this country is not known. All a,·ailable passenger lists of immigrants have been searched for any one named Van der Mark, but none was found. That he was Dutch and came from Holland, now officially known as The Netherlands, is certain. The records of all the early Dutch settlements in New Netherlands have been searched without finding a single mention of any other Van der Mark in any of its various spellings. He seems to have been the only person bearing that name in this country. That fact has simplified and aided greatly in the preparation of this genealogy. In 16i6 Thomas, who was a Roman Catholic, headed a list of 49 in a petition to Governor General Edmond Andros to send them a minister of the gospel. (See DHNY, Vol. 3, p. 583). This proves that he was 102 VAN DER MARK A.NCESTRY broad-minded and tolerant. That he was a Catholic is shown by the entry in the Kingston Reformed Dutch Church records of the baptism of his son Frederick, Dec. 16, 1688, where the parents are described as "Thomas Van der Merck, Papist, and Jacomyne Jacobs, Reformed." (See KgB 597). "May 31, 1686. Description of a survey of a lot of land containing 64 acres, lying upon ye north side of Esopus Kill, '"-ithin the limits of Marble towne, in the county of Ulster, laid out for Tho: Vandemarke, by Philip Welles, (with draught)." (See CLP, p. 42). In 1687 Thomas served in the ulster County Militia, according to entries in DHNY, Vol. 35, p. 68, and CMR, Vol. 2, p. 449, which are here given verbatim as a good illustration of the spelling and capitalization in use at that time : "List of Soldiers in Esopus. A list of the fottman of Capten tomas gersones company. Leftenantt John biggs. Insine Charles broac!had. Tomas fan deamarken." Sept. 1, 1689, when the inhabitants of Ulster county were required by Governor General Thomas Dongan to take the oath of allegiance to the British government, 189 took the oath, 29 were absent and "These ffow ing persons were present when ye oath was A givin, but Did Refeues to take it Vizt Antony Tilba, Thomas Van der Marrick, Joseph ffocker, Jacob Horne," making a total of 222 persons. (See DHNY, Vol. 1, p. 282). Vol. 1 of Marbleto,1111 town records contains this entry: "At a meeting of Trustees at l\Iarbletown Sept. 23, 1703, Thomas Van der Mark desires a conveyance for his land now in his possession on both sides of Esopus Kill, to be measured with the full breadth of the low lands, to make com plement of 160 acres. Granted." 'While nothing is known of the parents of Thomas Van der Mark, a recent letter from P.R. Van der Mark, of Amersfort, Holland, to Percy F. Van der Mark, of Schenectady, N. Y., contains an interesting suggestion. It is quoted as follows: "There exists a large German book about the ancestors of the different families of our mutual name in Germany, Belgium and Holland. The Dutch affiliations, however, are the least complete. In that book I did not find a Thomas Van der :Mark mentioned about 1660, but there was a Pieter Van der Mark who had three sons, namely: Jan Pieter, born about 1640; Jacob, born at Alphen about 16i5, and Arie, born near Leyden about 1678. Now it bespoke me, that your forefather Thomas baptized his two sons also Jacob and Arie. I am sure that Thomas who went early to America was an elder brother of the above named Jacob and Arie. Thomas bap tized his daughter Jannetje (as you wrote me) which is the feminine for Jan, the name of his supposed elder brother." ., ,-:-'•'i,~ - .

VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 103 The question naturally arises : What reasons are there for believing that this humble man of Kingston descended from the nobility descn'bed in Part One of this book? If it seems strained and far-fetched t_o connect him with them the following facts should be borne in mind : During the Reformation and Spanish Inquisition the members of the nobility of the Netherlands were decimated and scattered by every cruelty that devilish ingenuity could devise. Many of them came to America as the promised land of civil and religious liberty. The same thing has happened in recent years to the nobility of many European countries. Russia is a shining example. They are scattered throughout the world and many of them are thankful to have any humble employment by which to earn a meager subsistence. Mr. Dingman Versteeg, of Holland. former historian and archivist of the Holland Society of New York, author of The Sea Beggars, etc., fre quently e.'CJ)ressed the belief that Thomas Van der l\'Iark was descended from the Dutch nobility. The family had a tradition that great wealth was left in Holland. Many members of the Van der Mark family who are unknown to one another have this tradition, which is also held by many other American families of Dutch origin. It would seem that there ·was some ancient jus tification for it. Abr:>.ham Lincoln's forebears went from education and culture to illit eracy in two generations. (See communication on Lincoln's ancestors in the Ne--.c York Times, :VIarch 1, 1925). Thomas Van der Mark married Jacomyntje Jacobs. Although no rec ord of their marriage has been found there i:; reason to believe that it took place at Kingston, N. Y., about the year 1674. The English equivalent for Jacomyntje is Jacoba, which is the feminine of Jacob and purely a patronymic, which makes it e.,ceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to learn who her parents were. At that time there were several women named Jacomyntje Jacobs li\-ing in New Netherlands. A "Jacomyntje Jacobs. daughter of Jacob Swart, arrived in New Netherlands in the ship For in the month of August, 1662." (See DHNY, Vol. 3, p. 60). All the available e,.;dence goes to prove that she became the wife of Gerret Cornellissen Van Duyn in October, 1663. (See Rec.. Vol. 10, pp. 155, 156). Another Jacomyntje Jacobs married Abraham Lambertszen Moll. Thomas Van der Mark and his wife Jacomyntje Jacobs became the parents of ten children-,;even sons and three daughters. Since there is no record concerning three sons and one daughter, except their names and the dates of their baptism. it is probable that they died in infancy. The name 104 VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY of their son Theophilus is not in Hoes' Kingston Church records, but was found among unpublished records. Their daughters Jannetie and Eycke were married and had large families. Arie and Jacob, the oldest two sons, and Frederick and Augustinus, the youngest two, married and had large families, and through these four male lines all the numbered Van der Marks in this book have descended. A few Van der Marks have come to this country from Holland in re cent years and settled in New York City, Chicago and San Francisco. Their names are not in the numbered line in this book. Many Van der Mark deeds to real estate are recorded in the office of the County Oerk of Ulster Co., N. Y., at Kingston. The earliest deed is from Thomas to "his youngest son Augustinus" and is dated March 14, lili-18, and recorded in Liber BB, p. 566. It conveys the house in Marbletown where Thomas formerly lived and the orchard and pasture beginning at the foot of a certain hill on the northeast side of said orchard and pasture and lying along the northwest and southwest bank of a cer tain small run of v,;ater, as it runs, southwest and southeast to the foot of a certain great hill called Green Hill or Groene Bergh; thence southeast of said hill to the utmo:;t bounds of said Thomas Van der Marke's lands; thence along said lands rortheast and northwest to the place of beginning. The next oldest deec. is dated March 29, li18, and recorded in Libcr BB, p. 560, wherein Thomas Van der Marke and Jacob Van der Marke, both of Marbletown, convey to Augustinus Van der Mark--e, of the same place, 84 acres of land on the north side of Esopus Creek bounded on the southwest by Esopus Creek and on the northeast by a certain mountain and e.~ending up the creek to a certain rock called the Style Klip. The northeast corner began at a certain hill called the Gavelle Bergh and ex tended up the creek 59 chains. The same deed conveys an adjoining tract of Ii¼ acres on the northeast of the above described lot. In li31 a deed was recorded from Thomas Van der Marke to Arie Osterhoudt in which Thomas is said to be "deceased." Only a few Van der :Mark real estate transactions were recorded from this time forward until the year 1824, but from then on there were many sales. The earliest 1.-nown tax list for ulster county is for the year 1709, which shows that Thomas Van der :Mark was taxed for "l Chimny & 1 Stove" and his son Arie for "1 Chimny." The tax list for the town of New Paltz for the year li20 shows that Augustinus Van der Mark then resided there.

VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 105 1 THOMAS VAN DER MARK, the progenitor of the Van der Mark family in America, was born in Holland in 1643. He settled at Esopus (now King ston), Ulster Co., N. Y., about 1665, and soon thereafter removed to the new settlement of Marbleto,1111 near by, where he died in 1724, aged 81 years. He married Jacomyntje Jacobs about 1674. She died April 2, 1693. Both are buried in the cemetery adjoining the old Reformed Dutch Church at Marbletown. All of their ten children were proba:hly born in Marbletown, although it is possible that some of them were born in King ston. The date of their marriage and the dates of birth or baptism of three of their children were not found, but there is sufficient evidence to justify the years given as being approximately correct.

Aug... , 1759, Mary Oosterhout, d. :.Iilford, Pike Co., Pa., about 1793. dau. of Hendrick 118 VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY and Pieternella (Boscll) Oosterhout. Frederick and wife both died of consumption. For his military record see Appendix. The family name of Oosterhout is derived from a town by that name in the Province of North Brabant, Holland. Their first American an cestor was Jan Janse van Oosterhout, who was sometimes called ''Bra banter." He first resided in New Amsterdam and then removed to Kingston. Although Frederick's baptism was recorded in the Kingston church records he ,,-as probably born in Marbletown, as his father did not move to Rochester (now Accord), ulster Co., N. Y., until after 1747. No record has been found of land bought or sold by him in Rochester (now Accord), but the w111 of Cornelius Hoorenbeek, of Rochester, dated April 23, 1763, contains this statement: "Also a tract of land bounded westerly by Tobias Hoorenbeek, northerly by Jonathan Witbeck [West brook) and easterly by Dirck De Witt and Frederick van Demerick." (See N. Y. Hist. Soc. Coll., Calendar of Wills, Vol. 6, p. 278.) "Frederick Van Dermerkin, Jr.," is given as one of the signers in the "Troop of Horse" in Ulster County, dated June 9, 1775, "whereof Philip Hoghtelenge is captain." ( See Calendar of Historical Manuscripts Re lating to the \Var of the Revolution, Vol. 1, p. 33). He was also in Capt. Silvester Salisbury's Company of Light Horse. (See GC, Vol. 1, p. 575.) In 1775 Frederick and his son Lodev.;ck were enrolled in the Third or Western Regiment of u1ster County. Levi Pawling colonel. For his service in this regiment Frederick received land bounty rights. In 1784 he removed with his family of small children to :Milford, in what is now Pike Co .. Pa. June 6. 1784, he was elected an elder of the :Minisink Reformed Dutch Church. May 10, 1784, Joseph Rider, of Upper Smithfield (:Milford). sold 103 acres and 115 perches of land to Frederick of the same place. This land v.-as bounded on one side by the Delaware River. In 1785 he was on the tax list, and in 1786 was ta.-ced on a grist mill, saw mill, 100 acres of land, 2 horses and 2 cattle. The tax was £1. 10s and lld. Those mills on the "van de ):lark Creek" were said to ha,·e been the mills that Tom Quick had from 1733 to 1754, Quick 1Iill being the name of one that Frederick owned, and traces of it are still to be seen. In the U.S. census of 1790 for Upper Smithfield (l1ilford), there are four grown-up males given in the family and four females. Probably some of his grown children were living with him. In 1792 he sold or gave the land he bought from Rider in 1784 to his sons James and Lodewick. Thi.; was the year that his son Joseph went to settle in Phelps, Ontario Co., N. Y. The History of Wayne, Pike VAN DER 1:Lutx ANCESTRY 119 and Monroe Counties, Pa., by Alfred Mathews, states that Frederick, his wife and son James died in the third house ever built on the site of what is now Milford. They probably died about 1793, as Lodewick, the heir of his brother James who died without issue (see records in the Easton, Pa., courthouse), sold this land on Jan. 16, 1794, to John Biddes and followed his brother Joseph to Phelps, N. Y., his brother-in-law, John Burnett, going at the same time. Children, b. and bap. Rochester (now Accord), ulster Co., N. Y.: +117 Lodewick, b. Feb. 18, 1760; m. Charity Van Auken. +118 Joseph, bap.

He retired as elder Oct. 10, 1783. He is on New Paltz tax list for 1765. His will, dated Sept. 5. 1792, and probated Nov. 4, 1802, left all of his estate to his sisters Jacomyntjen, Rachel and Elizabeth. (u1ster County Will C-346). For his military record see Appendix.

Benjamin is on a list of "Rangers on the Frontiers" in Northampton Co .. Pa., from lii8 to li83. (See PaA, 6th S., Vol. 3, pp. 833. 834.) For his more complete military record see Appendix. Benjamin was in 1:pper Smithfield twp .• ~orthampton Co., Pa., in li66. He was taxed in li85 on 96 acres of land in Lower Smithfield tv,rp. in the same county. In liil he sold land near Stroudsburg, Pa.. to John Van der lVfark and about li91 removed to Newport twp .• Luzerne Co., Pa., where he owned considerable coal land. Benjamin and his wife Sarah are both buried in ~ewport Center Cemetery, ~ewport twp .• Luzerne Co., Pa. His grave is marked by a field stone bearing these dates: Born Dec. 30. 1738 (the figure 8 is ob scure and shows e,-idence of having been changed); d. ~ov. 3, 1805. In all probability he was born Dec. 30, li33. The tombstone of Sarah Brink Van der l\lark states that she was born April 5, 1724, and died Oct. 10, 1823, aged 99 yrs .. 6 mos., 5 days. This birth date is evidently an error. Her mother was Maria Tietsoort who was baptized at Kingston, N. Y., l\lay 13, lill (KgB 1949). If Sarah was born in li24 her mother was only 13 years old, which was very unlikely in the rigorous climate of that time and place. VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 121 Garret and Maria (Tietsoort) Brink had eight children, four of whom were killed by Indians. Their daughter :Maria was baptized at Mahacke mack (now Port Jervis, N. Y.) May 29, 1739. In all probability she was the one who married Benjamin Van der Mark. Her name may have been 0 Sarah Maria, as her mother's name was given once as Sara in the bap tismal records. Garret Brink was an elder of the W alpeck Reformed Dutch Church April 19, 1755. He died about 1756. The first American ancestor of the Brink family was Lambert Huy bertsen, of \.Vageningen, in Gelderland, who sailed for this country in December, 1659, in the ship Faith, with Hendrickje Cornelis, his ,..,,-ife, and two children. A third child was born on the passage. He after wards assumed the surname of Brink. His son, Pieter Lambertsen Brink, bap. June 26, 1670 (KgB 105). married Gertruy Teunissen Matthewsen, and they were the parents of Garret Brink, bap. Sept. 18, 1709 (KgB 1794) who married Maria (or Sara. perhaps Sarah Maria) Tietsoort (now called Titsworth). and they were the parents of Sarah Brink who was the wife of Benjamin Van der Mark. :Maria Tietsoort's father was Stefanus \.Villemse Tietso0rt who was born at Schenectady, N. Y., about 1680. His name is given as "Stephan us Thitio" in the Kingston church records. He married, Oct. 18, 1702 (Kg).! 199), Sarah Hornbeck. daughter of Warner Hornbeck and his "-ife Antjen de Hooges. The father of Stefanus Willemse Tietsoort was Willem Abramse Tietsoort, a blacksmith, who is known to have been in Schenectady as early as 1676. The follO\\-ing statement is from the History oi \Vayne, Pike and l\-Ionroe Counties. Pa.. by Alfred Mathews, at page 903 : "It is kno,... -n that a blacksmith by the name of William Tietsoort, or Titsworth, lived among the friendly Indians near Carpenter's Point as early as 1690. Here the early Dutch pioneers came do,\-n from Esopus on the Hudson and settled on the flat lands near the Delaware." New Jersey Archives, First Series, Vol. 24; Newspaper E.,-tracts, Vol. 4, p. 242; Vol. 5, p. 259. contain the following: "On Saturday, Oct. 22, 1763, the following persons were killed in a flat boat while crossing the Delaware River to the Jerseys. '1.-iz.: Stephen Brink, Garret Brink, Esther Brink, Peter Vangarda, Benj:lmin Raur and a Negro woman. These peo ple had moved their families into the Jerseys, but had gone over to Penn sylvania to milk their cows and were on their return back again when the Indians fired on them. Peter Brink was killed by Indians May 2. 1757, near the Head Quarters. on the Jersey side of the Delaware River." Children. b. Walpeck. N. J.: 133 :Maria, bap. 1759: m.

The United States Census for 1810 places him residing at the town of Nunda, Allegany Co., N. Y. He was one of the first settlers of the tO\'l."n of Caneadea, Allegany Co., N.

The Pennsylvania Archives also call him James and he is called "Jeams" in his father's will. Perhaps he had double Christian names. He and his wife joined the Deerpark Reformed Dutch Church Sept. 27, 1786, and he was elected deacon March 16. 1790. In 1781, and again in 1786, he was taxed in Upper Smithfield and Delaware twps., Northampton Co., Pa., on 200 acres of land and a sawmill. (See PaA, 3rd S., Vol. 19, pp. 176, 285). Thus it will be seen that they went back and forth between New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The History of Wayne, Pike and ~lonroe Counties, Pa., by Alfred Mathews, published in 1886, at pages 831 and 862, states "It has gen erally been claimed that a man by the name of Vandermark was the first settler on the present site of ?.Iilford. The Vandermarks are found early in the Smithfield settlement." In the same history the statement is made at page 898 that Vandermark Creek, in :Milford township, was given that name before the American Revolution. In the light of these facts it is evident that Jeremiah was the first member of the Vandermark family to settle at 11ilford. VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 125 Sherman Day's Historical Collections of Pennsylvania, published in 1843, at pages 596 and 597, contains the following: "The first settle ment made at Milford, the county seat of Pike Co., Pa., was about the year 1799 by one Vandermark, a Dutchman, who gave name to the creek north of the village. In the year 1800 there were but two houses and a blacksmith shop on the site. The whole plain was thickly grown over with pines, hemlocks and bushes. By some carelessness the underbrush took fire, and the fire e.'Ctended over the whole plain ; not, however, de stro);ng the buildings previously mentioned. Some wag published a statement in the papers that a fire had ravaged the town of Milford and had left but two houses and a. blacksmith shop standing." Children, bap. Walpeck, N.

Catherine Vandermark Carey-Rymer was a woman of strong character and great energy and ability. In the early days when there was no church building her home was open to religious services. In 1812 she and her second husband, Daniel Rymer, left Wilkes Barre for Ohio. It was late in the winter when sleighing was good. On reaching Pittsburg the snow had melted and they abandoned their sled and made the remainder of their journey to Fairfield Co., Ohio, on horseback. There were few roads and no bridges west of the Alleghenies then. Nearly all the way was through dense forests. After many trials they reached their destination. After remaining for some ye;irs in their new home they removed to P:.itnam Co., Ohio, and bought land on Hogg Creek adjoining the farm of Jacob Qev enger, her son-in-law. There she spent the remainder of her days in peace and plenty. Children by 1st husband (Carey), b. Careytown, Pa.: Elea:;cr; d. very young. Miner; d. very young. Susan; d. in Kansas; m .•..... Laird.

For his military record see Appendix. The first member of the Rapelje family of which there is record was Gaspard Colet de Rapelje. a nephew of Admiral Coligni. He was born in Chatillon-sur-Loing, France. Being a staunch Protestant he w·as com pelled to flee to Holland in 1549, where he married the daughter of Victor Antoine Jannsen, of Antwerp. by whom he had three children. The first he named, after his uncle and himself, Gaspard Coligni ; the second was 130 VAN DER MARK A:.CESTRY giveu- the family name, Abraham Colet; the third was a daughter, Breckji, who married her cousin. Victor Honorious Jannsen, and bad one son, who became a historical painter of note. He had three sons, \Villiam, Joris (George) and Antoine. These two brothers, 'William and Joris Jannsen, sailed for New Netherland in 1623 in the ship Unity with several other 'Walloon Prot estant families, some of whom settled at the \Vaal-Bogt (\Valloons' Bay), now known as Wallabout Bay, which is the present site of the United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn, N. Y. William and Joris settled at Fort Orange, a trading post, which is now Albany, N. Y. William died unmarried. Joris married Catelina Trico, of Paris, dropped the name of Jannsen and assumed that of Rapelje and thus became the founder of that family in this country. Catelina was the first white woman in Albany, residing there from 1623 to 1626, when they removed to New York and settled at \Valla:bout Bay. In 1684 and again in 1688 she made interesting depositions concerning the early settlements at ."\lbany, Esopus (now Kingston) and on the Delaware River. Sarah, their first child, was born at Albany on June 7, 1625, and was "the first Christi.an daughter born in New Netherland." Jeronimus Rapelje who married Lydia Van Leuven was their great-grandson. (See DHNY, Vol. 3, pp. 49, 50. 51; also Historic Families of America, by William Almy. published 1897; also Brooklyn Daily Eagle of Jan. 16, 1916, for Rapelje family and a description of an old book printed in Holland in 1660.)

(See OU. Vol. 5, p. 249). After Lodewick's death Charity married Charles Humphrey. Lodewick was a "drummer" in the Company of Capt. Benj. Cartwright, Col. Levi Pawlding in May, lii6 at Rochester. and was at the cant••"<: ::.~ Burgoyne in 1i7i. He also served four or five months in li78. For Lodewick's military record see Appendix. Early in 1784 Lodewick removed with his father Frederick from Rochester (now Accord) to Northampton Co., Pa., which then included the present Pike County and town of Milford. He served in the Militia under Capt. Jacob De Witt and for this service received. in 1794. a war ranty of land of 200 acres in Northampton County. (See PaA. 6th S., Vol. 3, p. 874; 3rd S .• Vol. 26, p. 198). His children were baptized at Deerpark (now Port Jen;s, formerly the old l\Iachackemeck fort, just 140 VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY over the Pennsylvania line, a few miles from Milford). The three states, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, come together there and that section was known as the Minisink region. In the early days the four Reformed Dutch Churches in that small district served the residents of those three states. The first United States census, taken in li90, gives Lodewick as living in Upper Smithfield township, Northampton Co., Pa., (Milford, Pike County) with his wife and three small children, evidently Frederick, James and Mary. On April 14, li92, Lodewick and his brother James received land, mills, mill dams, mill runs and water forces from their father, who was evidently dividing his property among his children at that time, when his son Joseph removed to Phelps, N. Y. According to records in the court house at Easton, Pa., James died without issue and Lodewick inherited James's share of this property, including the Quick Mill on Van der Mark Creek, and on June 16, li94, he and his wife sold this land, which his father had originally bought from Joseph Rider in li84. At this time Lodewick and his brother-in-law, John Burnett, who was a \\;tness to this deed, and probably living there at that time, moved to Phelps, N. Y. Joseph had taken up a tract of 600 acres of land on the Canandaigua Out let for himself and Lodewick, the latter settling on the north side oi the road on what was later known as the Holbrook farm. Joseph's land and the Van der Mark Cemetery, on the south side of the road, were later the John Salisbury farm. These two brothers were among the first settlers in the "District of Sullivan" in the "Phelps and Gorham Purchase." The town of Phelps was formed under the Act of Jan. 2i. li89, and was named in honor of Oliver Phelps. one of the proprietors of the "Pur chase," which contained more than 2.000.000 acres and formed nearly an oblong square 80 miles long by 42 miles wide. The first Town ).lceting was held in li96, at the home of Jonathan Oaks (the hamlet. Oaks Corners). In 1801 and 1806 Lodewick bought land in Ontario Cot:nty, N. Y .• from Charles Williamson. In 18i6 Amelia Van der ).lark, granddaughter of Lodewick through his son Capt. Frederick. wrote an account of the family from v:hich are taken some notes. She starts with a description of the move of Frederick Van der l\fark (No. 3i) with his family, including Lodewick. from Rochester (now Accord), Ulster Co .• N. Y., to Milford. Pike Co .. Pa. Frederick was a man of fine personal appearance, tall and broad shouldered, with broad, high brow and blue eyes of piercing brig'.1tness. His wife, l\Iary Oosterhout. is described as having dark eyes and hair and as being of the finest type of character. He was very successful in his new home where he owned his farm, a saw mill and a grist mill and accumu- VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY 141 lated a surplus with which to start each of their children in a financial way. Both Frederick and his wife died of consumption. His son Joseph went to Phelps in 1792 and located 600 acres of land bordering on the Can andaigita Outlet, 300 acres o;' which was for his brother Lodewick, who followed him to Phelps two years later. To plan and accomplish the journey from Milford, Pa., to Phelps, Ontario Co., N. Y., was ~- very great undertaking. Lodewick and his wife left :Milford early in the Fall with three children-Frederick 9, James 7, and Joseph, a babe in arms. They travelled in their own con veyance until they arrived at the Susquehanna River. Then everything was moved and floated up that river as far as it was navigable. Again they journeyed in their own conveyance until they arrived at the head of Seneca Lake, not far from Phelps. Lodewick and his two sons and the family goods embarked on a rude raft made of logs, while Charity, dis liking to be on the water in so rude a craft, chose to go around the lake on horseback cal'I');ng her babe in her arms. There was no road through the primeval forest but they followed marked trees. She had with her for company and assistance a lad of 14 years. With them were 3 horses, 5 cows and 12 sheep. The last night of her journey, before reaching Geneva at the end of the lake, they stopped at the house of a farmer who gave them food. thus saving her the preparation of her own. He said to his daughter. "You know how tired you were, my child, when we journeyed here." Charity was nearly e.xhausted by her travels of about six weeks. When she arrived at Geneva she was much concerned to find that her husband and sons had not yet come and the waves were rolling high. After a weary. watchful night she joyfully saw them arrive. A cannon was fired, which was the signal agreed upon, to inform the relatives, some six miles distant at Phelps, of their safe arrival at Geneva. They had come with the intention of building a saw mill, which was much needed in Phelps. The prospect so delighted the people that they were ready to give the contemplated builder their warmest welcome. The land on which they settled was high, with a stream below (Canandaiqua Outlet). They erected a double log cabin on the lowland, but Charity did not like the location as the Outlet overflowed twice a year, so the next house was built upon the site she chose on the high bluff on the west bank of the Outiet, and there they put up a larger house of logs. This house .,,:as near the site of the one which is standing there now-the Holbrook House. The forest abounded in sugar maples. oaks, white wood, hickory. elm, pine, etc., and was inhabited by bears, deer, pigeons, squirrels, etc. The Outlet below teemed with excellent fish and the fine meadows pro duced crops which, together with the animals and fish and the fruits from 142 VAN DER :\!ARK ANCESTRY the trees and bushes, gave them a fine living. On these low flats they grew peppermint and marketed the peppermint oil. Charity used to tell her grandchildren of her girlhood days in Penn sylvania during the Revolution. The aged, infirm, and youth of both sexes were moved into a fort for protection from the Tories and Indians, who were making things pretty warm for them by frequent raids while the men were away in the army. There was a high hill not far away which enabled the Indians to see within the fort. To make as strong a showing as possible the females were dressed up as men and armed with sticks and marched around twice a day to answer the roll call. Charity and a younger brother narrowly escaped being taken prisoner while outside the fort milking. but their fleetness of foot saved them. The Indians did not follow too near the fort. as they had intended to attack it the next day and thought that they would get this lad and lass anyway, but reinforce ments came to the fort to frustrate their plans. Charity would go into a harvest field and rake and bind as fast as the best cradlers could cradle, so great was her physical strength. Her appear ance was plain. but she had more than the ordinary good sense-a help mate in every sense of the word. Lodewick was a handsome man of rnediu.-n size, with black hair and eyes, and was inordinately vain and very particular about his personal appearance. He was a millwright by trade, a good machinist and a man oi passionate temper. For some unknown reason the saw mill was not built until ten years after their arrival. It was then built principally by his son Frederick who, later, was a lieutenant, and then captain in the \Var of 1812. He was then a youth of 19 and a curious crowd watched the start of the mill built by so young a man and predicted failure. The saw started, cut half way through a log and stopped. But the "I told you so's" soon ceased when the mill started again and the log was sawed. The mill was twice partly consumed by fire and immediately rebuilt. It did its last work in 1860 in sawing planks for the adjacent bridge over the Outlet. Frederick soon put up a clothier's establishment, in which wool was carded and men's and women"s wear was manufactured, which was operated until 1850. Lodewick was a victim oi the epidemic which swept the country when he was 52 years old, but Charity lh·ed to be i9 years old and married Charles Humphrey. the father-in-law of her son James. At the age of i9, while living in Phelps, under date of July 20, 1839, she applied for a pen sion on the basis of the service of her first husband, Lodewick. but the application was refused because she had remarried. She is buried at Phelps beside her first husband. In the Van der :Mark Cemetery. where so many of the family are buried, the graves of Lodewick and Charity arc marked by beautiful stones V ... N DER MARK ANCESTIW 143 with rounded tops carved with vases and weeping wiJlows. On Charity's stone are these words : Farewell dear friends my memory keep 'While in Death's arms my body sleeps Long time I have been spared below :\Iy Jesus calls and I must go.

There he made inquiry at the village blacksmith shop. .'\ man named \Valtcr Buchanan. who was present, invited him to his home and said that he would show him land which could be obtained. The nc.,t day being Sunday they walked over part of this land and went on to a church further west. On :.fonday James walked about 30 miles to the land office at Palestine and entered about 1800 acres. Then he returned to \Vilkes- li2 VAX DER 1L\t Barre. There being no means of transportation in those days he walked both ways. During the ne.xt four years he saved enough money to move his family to Lawrence Co., Ill.

The Shortz family went to Nescopeck twp. from Nazareth twp., Northampton Co., Pa. li8 VAN DER :MARK ANCESTRY In 1830 William removed to "the south side of the mountain" where he purchased 250 acres of land, 45 acres of which he brought under culti vation. He built a log house which was torn down a few years ago. It was located at "the foot of the mountain" in what is now officially known as Nuangola Borough, Wright twp., Luzerne Co., Pa. It was at the lowest point in the slight depression or dip in the land which is near the present Nuangola Public School and was the only house in that locality when it was built. He passed the remainder of his life in this house, where he and his v.;fe both died, and where the last three of their children were born. their other children having been born in Newport twp. (See History of Luzerne County, Pa., by H. C. Bradsby, 1893, p. 1420). Like many of the early Pennsylvania Vandermarks they spoke both English and German and Sarah's Bible was printed in the German lan guage. The Vandermarks from generation to generation were devout Christians and held family worship daily, both morning and evening, by reading a chapter from the Bible, singing a hymn and offering a prayer, from which custom \Villiam and family never deviated. They were strong, self-reliant and industrious people and made nearly everything they used. The nearest store ,.,-as "over the mountain" at Nanticoke a distance of six miles. Candles gave the only light at night and were molded at home. The chief attraction of that locality is Lake Nuangola, which has an area of 156 acres and is 1400 feet above sea level. The name was selected by the United States postal authorities when a postoffice \\"3.S established there and is derived from a legend that an Indian maid named Nuangola ,.,-as drowned there, presumably because of a love affair. Previously. be cause of its shape, it had been h..iown as Three-Cornered Pond and later as Triangular Lake. Being only fifteen miles from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and six miles from Nanticoke, Pa., with its natural beauty unspoiled, it has long been a favorite summer resort. An article in the Wilkes-Barre Sunday Independent, :.fay 16, 193i, states: "The Nuangola tradition is that a Stewart family long ago owned all the land around the lake, and the supposition is that it came to the family soon after the Revolutionary War. Later the land went to the William Vandermark family, from whose holdings many of the present deeds to Nuangola property e:,,..1:end. '::"he Vandermarks were supposedly the first to settle in that territory." Children: +723 Benjamin, b. Feb. 19, 1823; m. Hannah :Maria Cool. i24 Elizabeth, b. Dec. 14, 1824; d.

She enjoyed good eyesight until the end of her days, was always cheerful, and her recollection of events occurring during her early life was wonderfully full and clear. She remembered when the Lehigh Coai and Navi gation Company, the first steam railroad in \Vilkes-Barre, had its station for passengers and freight at the corner of South and \Vest River streets, where the first train arrived May 1, 1843. She was well informed and a!ways manifested an in terest in current events and had seen \Vyoming Valley grow from a sparsely settled community of scattered villages and farming districts to its present gigantic proportions. William Charles Rohn was sergeant in Co. C, 8th Regt. Pa. Vol. Inf. in the Civil War. He was taken ill with disease of the bowels at Camp Slifer, honorably discharged, came home and died.

He had an ornamental fruit farm near Phelps until 1866. when they removed to their new home on Main street. Phelps, which became a center of social life in the community. The Van der :\Iark family, during the period preceding 1850 had become numerous and wealthy, and their fine mills and red brick houses were built in and around Phelps and \Vaterloo. In the spring of 1871 Charles and his family moved to Chicago, Ill., where they lived at 1015 \Vabash Avenue. This location was very close to the "big fire" of 1871, and the experience was so terrifying to Charlotte, 216 VA~ DER :\IARK A:-.cESTRY his wife, that after a few months' residence in Chicago they moved to Hillsdale, :Mich., in order that their children might be educated at Hillsdale College. In 1874 they left Hillsdale and went for a short period to Jack sonville, Ill., but returned to Hillsdale about 1879 for a short time and then returned to Phelps, N. Y .• where Charlotte passed the rest of her life. Charles spent much of his time in travelling from one end of the country to another selling, through agents, his wooden interlocking sectional farm fence, patented in 1857. He also patented a cooking stove and a motor, and when he died in Kansas City was working on a bricl.'111aking machine. He and his son Charles went to Texas and bought herds of cattle which they drove to Kansas, where the son was farming. While his wife had the delicate features and the artistic: nature of her Xew England ancestors, Charles had the rugged features and sterling qualities of the Dutch. Charles and Charlotte were members of the Presbyterian Church at Phelps, an off-shoot of the early church at Oaks Comers-this being the hamlet where the first settlers of Phelps lived and the part in which the Van der Marks all settled.

In 1862 his family moved to Barry, :\lass., where he enlisted in Co. F .• 53rd Regt., Mass. Volunteers and served under General Banks at New Orleans. He and his wiie lived in :Middletown, Conn., Twin Falls, Kansas, Des Moines, Iowa, and then moved to Minneapolis, Minn., where they both died. His lovable character endeared him to all who knew him. From her grandfather, Daniel Stewart, Lottie inherited a scholarly mind, and her interest led her to the study of many diverse subjects, on some of which she became a local author ity. 1078 Charles J., b.

He was the son of Alan son and 1Iarilla (Wells) Koon who went to Allen, Hillsdale Co., Mich., in 1844. After working on his father's farm during the summers and studying in winter he entered, at the age of ~ .etllAJ~f?~·, ~--,·~. V,\X DER :\!ARK .-\XCESTR\' 217 17, Hillsdale College, which he left in 1863. In 1864 he went to California where he taught school for one year near Sacra mento : was admitted to the Bar of Michigan in 1868; was County Attorney for four years; and practiced law there until 1878 when he moved to Minneapolis, where he practiced law and became one of the foremost corporation lawyers. In 1883, 1884 and 1885 he was on the bench of the District Court. He was an officer or director in many of the important business enterprises of Minneapolis, where his clear and unprejudiced judgment made him of great value. He was also much inter ested in the civic and artistic life of the community. His special recreation was in travelling, and his alert, intelligent quest for knowledge took him to many far countries. In the year 1869-1870 Josephine attended the Maplewood Institute at Pittsfield, l\Iass. She moved with.her family from Phelps. K. Y., to Chicago. Ill., in 1871. and then to Hillsdale, l\Iich., in 1872. hut spent much of her time back at her old home, visiting her girlhood friend, :Mary Cross, at Oaks Corners, Phelps. Her grandparents. Daniel and Nancy Anne (Peck) Stewart. were living with the Van der :\Iark family on College Hill. HiJlsdale. when she was married at a house wedding. After making a preliminary visit to Minneapolis to see whether they liked the tuwn. Josephine. her husband and two little girls moved there in 1878 and went to the Bedford House to board with the Gilberts. who became their lifelong friends. Later they muved to 30 Sixth Street South : in 1886 they were living at 1520 Park .-\venue. and in 1895 moved to their last home. 1600 Harmon Place. Josephine was oi an extremely artistic nature which she inherited directly from her grandfather Daniel Stewart. who was a poet and musician as well as a practical inventor. Her beautiful disposition was inherited from her g-randmother Stew art. She was never heard to raise her voice in anger nor to say a cross word to anyone. She would take no part in any argument as she believed in harmony. She ran her household in a very systematic and capable way. Children (Koon). b. Hillsdale, :\Iich.: Kate Estclli-. b.

VA~ DER :\1.-.RK ANCESTRY 309 APPENDIX ;vlilitar·s Records of Van der .Marks The first militia on this continent was organized under a law promul gated by James, Duke of York and Albany, in 1664, containing the fol lowing provisions: "All males above the age of 16 shall be enrolled and be subject to military duty. Each foot soldier must prO'l,;de himself with a good, serv iceable gun to be kept in constant fitness, with a good sword, bandoleer and horn. a wormer, a scourer, a priming wire, a shot bag, a charger, one pound cf good powder, four pounds of pistol bullets :ind twenty-four bullets fitted for the gun. four fathoms of serviceable match for match lock gun and four good flints for the firelock gun. "Every soldier belonging to a troop of horse shall appear twice a year for a drill and muster, provided with a good, serviceable horse. not less than fourteen hands high. covered with a good saddle, housings. breast-plate and crupper, a case of good pistols. a good sword or hanger. one-half a pound of good powder and twelve sizeable bullets, a pair of boots and suitable spurs. and a carbine well fixed with a belt, swivel and a blanket." For want of any of these articles a fine of from ten to twenty shillings was imposed. In default of payment the Captain was authorized to sell the delinquent's goods. "In case the offender be unable or refuse to pay. and he have no goods to distress. he shall ride the wooden horse, or be laid by the neck and heels in a public place for not to exceed an hour." No compensation for military service or for supplying equipment was pro\;ded by this law. Following is a list. in alphabetical order. of the members of the Van der :\lark family who have served their community and country as soldiers in the various conflicts that have taken place from the first settlement of Xew Xctherland until the present time. The list is necessarily incomplete and Jacking in details because some public records are missing and some are inaccessible. The military records in this Appendix have been compiled at great expense and trouble. but the possibilities for additions thereto have not been exhausted. Those desiring more information should write to the office of the Adjutant General of the United States at Washington, D. C., or to the Adjutant General of the State from which the soldier served. Some effort has been made to identify the soldiers named in this Appendix with their places and serial numbers in the classified data in this book. \Vhen successful the serial numbers have been placed after their names. Since all in this list are Van der ~larks only 01ristian names are used. All served as privates unless otherwise stated. 310 VAX DER MARK ANCESTRY Coto~nAL W AF.S PREVIous TO li54 Abraham, 39.

A short fight ensued. Jumon ,.,;ue was killed, with nine others; twenty-two were captured, and none escaped but a Canadian who had fled at the beginning of the fray. This obscure skirmish began the war that set the ,vorld on fire." Another noted American historian, Benson J. Lossing, in "Our Country," Vol. 2. p. 525, made the following comment on the same event: "\Vashington, who was at the head of the party and carried a musket, when he saw the Frenchmen, shouted 'Fire!' and at the same time discharged his own gun among them. This was the first blood shed in the French and Indian war. So was opened by young 'Washington, who fired the first gun, that long and bitter contest for the rights of man which, like an ez.rthquake. shattered into fragments the institutions of feudal ages which had been transplanted in our country, and shook the foundations of society in Europe. This skirmish. which occurred on the 28th of May, 1754. made a profound impression." 312 VA~ DER :MARK ANCESTRY The Van der Mark family, always found fighting for Liberty and Justice, was represented in this war by the following members.

The Line consisted of regiments in the service of the United States under General Washington. The Levies were made up of drafts from the different regiments of militia, as well as from the people direct, and could be sent out of the State for indefinite periods. The :Militia was composed of soldiers in the service of the State. They could be used beyond the State limits, but only for a period not exceeding three months at any one time. \V'ith few exceptions, each regiment was known by the name of its commanding officer. The militia was called out frequently for short periods and it should be noted that many individuals did not always serve in the same company or regiment. Each county was divided into districts. It was the duty of the Colonel in charge of each district to see that every male between the ages of 16 and 50 was enrolled. Later the age limit was extended to 60. Each soldier was not only required to present himself fully armed (sometimes with a tomahawk included). but also equipped with a blanket. powder horn, flint, etc. In li81 the State of New York offered a bounty of "Land Rights" to officers and men for two new regiments then to be raised for the defense of the State. A "Right" was 500 acres of land, and each soldier was en titled to from one to three "Rights," according to his military title. Comptroller Roberts, in "New York in the Revolution," said that the word "deserted" written after a name in the original documents must not be: taken too seriously. Frequently a man absented himself to gather crops, to attend a sick wife, or to bury a child: but it is found that the soldier generally returned and was again taken upon the rolls. In the case of the Land Bounty Rights it is often a question whether the word "deserted" applies to the soldier or to the claim. In the records of New York Revolutionary soldiers prepared by State Comptroller Jarr:es A. Roberts and Berthold Fernow are many members oi the Van der :\lark family. The family name is spelled in many different ways, but where the same Christian name is repeatedly used in the same connection with a different spelling of the family name, the reference is to the same individual. July 16, li77, Congress authorized the formation, in Pennsyh·ania, of an Invalid Regiment to be commanded by Col. Lewis Nicola. It was composed of men who were unfit for field service but were able to do garrison and guard duty, etc. They received depreciation pay. The following statement is from Pennsylvania Archives, Series 5.

Cambridg THE QUICK FAl\IILY Herbert Quick, author of Vandcmark's Folly and many other books, in his autobiography entitled One Ma1{s Life, on page 10, makes the fol lov.-ing statement: "On my mother's side we have the names of Krom or 364 VAN DER MARK ANCESTRY Krum, Van de Marek or Vandemark, Rapelje, Korns and Coleman.'' Apparently he knew very little about his Vandemark or Vandermark line. His grandfather, Simeon Quick, lived in Tompkins County, N. Y., where there were a number of Vandennark families. but the connection has not been traced. The following is from The History of Wa.yne, Pike and Monroe Comi ties, Pcnnsylva.nia, by Alfred :Mathews, at page 898: "Thomas Quick came from Holland and settled near Milford. Pa.• in 1730-35. He was the father of Tom Quick, t11e Indian ldller. and James Quick. Thomas Quick had a grist-mill on the Vandemark Creek before the Revolution, in :Milford Town ship. Peter Quick. probably a brother of his, located in Westfall Township and built a grist-mill and saw-mill either just before or after the Revolu tion." The History of Ha.11ovcr Trr.1.!11Ship, L11:;er11e County, Pennsylvania. by Henry Black-man Plumb. published in 1885. contains five generations of Quicks beginning with Peter, who may have been the same Peter men tioned by Mathews who was probably the son oi Thomas who came from Holland and not his brother.
