(8g) Robert Titus[edit]

GM VII(2011):63-67

Robert Titus was born about 1599 (aged 35 on 3 April 1635) and was dead by 15 July 1669 when his wife was referred to as "widow Titus." He was married about 1626 to Hannah _______, born about 1603 (aged 31 on 3 April 1635), d. 1679. An article published in the NEHGR in 1978 offered the possibility that the marriage on 24 June 1624 at Watford, Hertfordshire of Robert Titus and Anne Carter might refer to this couple. On 3 April 1635 Robert Titus of St. Katherines, 35; Hanna Titus, 31, Jo Titus, 8, and Edmond Titus, 5, were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Hopewell. Upon their arrival in New England, they first settled in Boston, and on 11 Jan 1637/8 the town granted Robert 20 acres at Muddy River. The family had moved to Weymouth by 1640 when Robert was made a freeman there on 13 May of that year, and in the land inventory of 1643 "Robert Tytus" held three parcels. By the following year, Robert was in "Seaconk" (alias Rehoboth) in the Plymouth Colony, and held the office of highway supervisor there in 1647, and Deputy to the General Court in 1648, 1649, and 1650. By the early 1650s, some legal issues arose concerning the Titus family, and on 26 May 1654, Robert Titus, with the consent of Hannah, his wife, sold his dwelling house, barn and outhousing along with upland and meadow lots to Robert Jones of Nantaskett. Two weeks later, on 9 June 1654, Titus informed the court that he had sold his house and land at Reboboth with the intention to "remove out of this government." Titus had been harboring in his house Abner Ordway and a woman, "persons of evil fame, with children." It appears that these people were Quakers, who were heavily persecuted in Massachusetts and neighboring Plymouth, and their presence was tolerated by neither government. The Titus family then moved to Huntington, Long Island, though no record of Robert is found there. It isn't known for how many years Robert was alive in Huntington, but he was likely dead by 1666 when a list of freeholders of Huntington included the names of his sons Samuel, Abiel, and Content, but not his name. He was definitely dead by 15 July 1669 when a deed conveyed land in Huntington "on the west side with the land of the widow Titus".[3] Hannah's will, dated 14 May 1672 and proved 28 May 1679, made bequests to son Content, son John, son Edward [sic], son Samuel, son Abiall's wife, son Content's wife, and daughter Susanna. On 1 March 1679/80, letters of administration were granted to Content Titus on the estate of his mother Hannah Titus, deceased. Children, first two born in England, middle two likely born in Boston, and last two born in Weymouth:

  • John, b. c. 1626 (aged 8 on 3 April 1635), d. Rehoboth, Mass. 16 April 1689, m. c. 1649 Abigail CARPENTER,b. c. 1630, d. 5 March 1710, the daughter of William Carpenter of Rehoboth. Following John's death, Abigail m. 9 Nov 1692 Jonah Palmer. John and Abigail had eight known children, born 1650 to 1669.
  • Edmond, b. c. 1629 (aged 5 on 3 April 1635), d. Old Westbury, Long Island 7: 2mo: 1715 (7 April 1715), aged 85, according to Quaker records. He m. c. 1657 Martha WASHBURN, b. c. 1637, d. 17:2mo:1727 (17 April 1727), in her 90th year, the daughter of William and Jane Washburn of Hempstead, Long Island. Edmond is undoubtedly the "Edward Titus" who was an inhabitant of Hempstead in 1673, and later moved to Old Westbury. Edmund and Martha had eleven children, born 1658 to 1681, whose births were recorded in a family Bible.
  • Samuel, b. say 1636, m. c. 1668 a wife, name unknown. A manuscript genealogy credits him with four daughters, born 1669 to 1680. He and brother Abiel gave testimony in court on 31 Oct 1667, and he was named in his mother's 1672 will. The 1675 rate list for Huntington shows Samuel Titus with 34 acres of land and meadow, and the 1683 rate list valued his property at 27 pounds. One account gives him the title of Sergeant.
  • Susanna, b. say 1638, named in mother's will, 14 May 1672, but no other record
  • Abiel, b. Weymouth 17:1mo:1640 (17 March 1640/1), d. 1736/7 aged 96 per a manuscript genealogy of the family. He m. c. 1673 Rebecca _______, but her maiden name was not Scudder, as explained by Anderson in the Great Migration work.[4] A manuscript genealogy of the family gives him five children, born 1673/4 to 1684. He appears on the Huntington rate list in 1675 as "Abigail Titus" with 18 acres, and on the 1683 rate list his property is valued at 92 pounds.
  • Content, b. Weymouth 28:1mo:1643 (28 March 1643), m. (1) _______ _______; m. (2) 1711 Mary (CORNISH) Sammis/Samway.

(7g) Content Titus[edit]

GM VII(2011):65-6

Content Titus, the son of Robert and Hannah Titus of Boston, Weymouth, and Rehoboth, Mass. and Huntington, Long Island, was born in Weymouth, Mass. 28 March 1643, and died in Newtown, Long Island (now Elmhurst, Queens, NY) 17 January 1729/30. He was married twice, but the first wife remains unidentified. She was once thought to be Elizabeth, the daughter of Rev. John Moore, but research published in 2006 (NYGBR 137:245-57) indicates otherwise. She was likely born about 1645, and was dead by 1711 when Content remarried. The will of Content's mother, dated 14 May 1672 makes a bequest to "my son Content's wife", but does not name her. Content married (2) in late 1711 Mary (CORNISH) Sammis of Huntington, as her third husband. Mary, b. Exeter, NH 1 July 1648 (per a John Seversmith manuscript), m. (1) 1667 John Corey; and m. (2) 1687 John Sammis/Samway, and had likely died by 1727/8 when not named in the will of Content. Riker says that Content moved from Huntington to Newtown in 1672. He appears on the 1675 and 1683 rate lists for Newtown, and in the 1698 census of Newtown where he had a household of ten members plus three negroes. He held various jobs in the town, including constable in 1681, supervisor in 1686, and assessor in 1686 and 1693. As an old man in 1724 he was chosen as an elder of the Newtown Presbyterian Church. Content's will was dated 24 Feb 1727/8, and proved 31 Jan 1729/30. As to his burial location, Riker, in his Annals of Newtown (1652), p 328, wrote "In the southwest corner of the ancient public burial ground at Newtown, stands a rude stone that marks his grave, bearing the simple inscription, 'Content Titus.' " The birth order of the children of Content Titus is made with almost no reference. Silas is placed first, because he is the only child appearing in the 1698 census of Newtown, and he had a child by then, so his birth year given here is likely the closest to reality. Robert is pushed down the list because of his moving to Delaware in 1631, a move more likely made by a younger man than an older man, though he was apparently still fairly old. Timothy is placed last based on his very late marriage and subsequent large family. Any one of the children other than Silas could have been born much later than given here, and be in the large gap between John and Timothy. [59]

  • Silas, b. c. 1670, m. (1) _______ _______; m. (2) Sarah HUNT, daughter of Edward Hunt and Sarah Betts.
  • Hannah, b. c. 1672, d. Newtown 23 July 1731, did not marry. Hannah's will, dated 7 Dec 1730 and proved 29 July 1731, named brother Robert Titus and his son Content, sister Abigail Furnis, sister Phebe Hunt and her daughter Hannah Hunt; brother [in-law] Jonathan Hunt, and friend Jacob Reeder.
  • Phebe, b. c. 1674, m. Jonathan HUNT (said to be son of Edward Hunt, but that Jonathan was a minor in 1715, so was about a generation younger than Phebe). Phebe and Jonathan moved to Hopewell, NJ shortly after 1700.
  • Robert, b. c. 1676, was named prominently in the Feb 1727/8 will of his father. Riker says that he moved to New Castle Co., Delaware in 1731. He married and had at least one child in 1730: Content Titus.
  • Abigail, b. c. 1678, m. George FURNISS (or Ferris). She was named Abgial Furnis in the 1730 will of her sister Hannah.
  • John, b. c. 1680, d. c. Feb 1761, m. c. 1710 Rebecca _______, b. say 1690, d. c. Oct 1762. The family moved to Hopewell, NJ where they are presumed to be buried. John's will was dated 1 Jan 1761, and proved 3 March following. Rebecca's will was dated 9 Sep 1762, and proved 1 November following. John and Rebecca had ten known children, born c. 1711 to c. 1731. FAG memorials have been created for them in a Presbyterian church yard in Hopewell. [60]
  • Timothy, b. c. 1690, d. 1657, and settled in Hopewell, NJ by 1722 when his 200-acre farm was taxed there. He was called of Hopewell when he married in Newtown 27 Sep 1736 Mrs. Mary Fitch. His will dated 25 April 1757 and proved 14 Jun 1757 named wife Mary, children Timothy, Philipp "now abroad", Dennis, Susanna [m. Edward Hunt], Jemima, Phebe, and Mary, and children of deceased daughter Hannah. He has been placed as the youngest child of Content based on his late marriage and subsequent family.

(6g) Silas Titus[edit]

Silas Titus, the son of Content Titus, was born say 1670, and died in Newtown, Long Island 2 Nov 1748. Some researchers convincingly wrote, in 2006, that Elizabeth Moore was not the wife of Content Titus, and therefore not the mother of Silas.[5] Silas was married twice, the name of his first wife not known, and marrying second in January 1715 the much younger Sarah HUNT, born about 1694, d. Newtown 29 September 1751, the daughter of Edward Hunt and Sarah Betts. The Newtown census taken in August 1698 shows Silas Titus being married with one child. The will of Edward Hunt of Newtown, dated 15 Jan 1715/6, names "my daughter Sarah Titus." Silas's will, dated 29 August 1748 and probated 18 November 1748, left a negro girl and widow's thirds to Sarah and ten pounds to the Presbyterian Society of Newtown. Witnesses were Simon Horton, Philip Edsell, and Matthew Cornish. Children, probably all born in Newtown: [61] [62] [63]

with first wife:

  • Ephraim, b. c. 1696, died at Hopewell, Hunterdon Co., NJ "shortly before 25 November 1789, 'aged 93' " per a manuscript genealogy. He was married to Mary ARMITAGE, b. c. 1701, d. 1775, aged 74, the daughter of Enoch Armitage. Ephraim was likely the child enumerated in the 1698 census of Newtown. He was given a legacy of 40 pounds in the 1748 will of his father.
  • John, b. say 1699. He was given 15 pounds in his father's August 1748 will.
  • Mary, b. say 1701, m. _______ BURLING. She was given ten pounds in the 1748 will of her father.
  • Martha, b. say 1703, m. _______ THORP. She was given ten pounds in the 1748 will of her father.

with second wife, Sarah Hunt:

  • Edward, b. c. 1716, d. about 1781, m. Newtown 14 Dec 1741 Elizabeth CORNISH, the daughter of Benjamin Cornish and Elizabeth Way
  • Susanna, b. c. 1718, m. Newtown 6 April 1738 Nowell FURMAN. She was called daughter Susanna Furman, and given a negro man in her father's August 1748 will, and was also named in her mother's December 1749 will.
  • Sarah, b. c. 1720, apparently had a child with a Mr. Moore, named Benjamin. She then m. (1) Newtown 26 Aug 1739 Francis CORNISH. b. c. 1716, d. before May 1758, son of Benjamin Cornish and Elizabeth Way. She was left with ten pounds in her father's Aug 1748 will, and five pounds in her mother's Dec 1749 will. The "three daughters of Sarah Cornish" were mentioned, but not named, in her mother's will. Benjamin Moore, son of Sarah Cornish, was left with ten pounds in the 1748 will of Sarah's father, and was left the same amount in the 1749 will of Sarah's mother. Edward Cornish, grandson of Sarah's mother, was left five pounds in her will. Following the death of Francis Cornish, Sarah married (2) on 5 Feb 1765, as his third wife, John LEVERICH, b. Newtown 1696, d. Queens 1780, aged 84, the son of John and Hannah Leverich. John had married first 14 Dec 1720 Amy Moore and m. second Susanna, the widow of John Sackett. John is buried in the family cemetery in Trains Meadow. [64]

(5g) Edward Titus[edit]

Edward Titus, born about 1716, died in 1780 (per Riker), and was married in Newtown, Long Island on 14 Dec 1741 to Elizabeth CORNISH, b. c. 1720, the daughter of Benjamin Cornish and Elizabeth Way. An internet account gives Elizabeth's death date as 6 Aug 1792. However, in the Newtown Presbyterian Church records, a Mrs. Titus died 28 Sep 1799. Children, born in Newtown: [65]

  • Susanna, b. c. 1742, m. (license date) NY 13 Feb 1762 Jonathan FURMAN, b. c. 1735, d. 1819, aged 84, the son of Joseph Furman (c.1700-1750) and Janetie Wood (b. 1712). Susanna was bequeathed a Bible in the 2 Dec 1749 will of her grandmother, Sarah (Hunt) Titus. The death notice for Jonathan appeared in the NY Gazette on 10 April 1819, saying he died at Newtown, aged 84. Jonathan appears with family on the 1790, 1800, and 1810 federal censuses in Newtown. Two of his known children were Rachel, who married John Furman, and Susan, who married a Shatzell.
  • Abigail, b. c. 1744, m. Newtown 1774 Daniel WIGGINS, who appears on the 1790 census in Newtown.
  • Elizabeth, b. c. 1746, d. 8 Oct 1748, buried in Newtown.
  • son, b. c. 1748, d. 21 Feb 1758, when "three boys, sons of Edward Titus...drowned in a pond" A newspaper notice says he was "8-10 years old".
  • Hannah, b. c. 1750, m. in Fresh Ponds 1770 Daniel NORTH, d. 1847, son of Daniel North and Rachel Smith (who were m. 29 Dec 1757). Daniel North appears on the 1790, 1800, 1810, and 1830 federal censuses for Newtown. On 6 Aug 1810 Hannah and Daniel were granted letters of administration on the estate of James Titus, Hannah's brother.
  • Judith, b. c. 1752, m. NY (license) 17 Oct 1772 as his second wife, Luke REMSEN, b. 1 Sep 1749, d. Flushing Creek 20 April 1839, the son of Rem Remsen and Marrytie Van Letten. Luke's only known child with Judith was a daughter, Abigail, b. c. 1773. Luke had married as his first wife on 24 March 1767 Abigail North, who died 4 Mar 1771 (recorded in Newtown Presb. Church recs) and after Judith's death he married as his third wife, Lydia Osborn. Luke is buried in the Remsen Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens Co. [66]
  • son, b. c. 1754, drowned in a pond 21 Feb 1758
  • son, b. c. 1756, drowned in a pond 21 Feb 1758

Newtown 21 May 1836, the son of John Leverich and Elizabeth Sackett. The death age for Amy on the FAG memorial seems too young, as she would have been aged 14 when married. Richard m. (2) Nancy Lane who d. NY 1874. Amy had two known daughters: Amy Leverich (1832-1911) who m. Charles Connor and Susan M. Leverich, b. 1836, who did not marry. Amy and Richard were buried in the yard of the First Presbyterian Church of Newtown, but that cemetery is defunct, and an apartment building now occupies its location. Some of the burials there may have been moved to Evergreen Cemetery, but there appear to be few records, if any, of reburials in Evergreen. [67]

(4g) James Titus[edit]

James Titus, son of Edward Titus (ba 1718) and Elizabeth Cornish (ba 1720) was b. ca 1759, and died 24 Aug 1809. He m. Newtown (Elmhurst), Queens, NY 11 May 1799 Jane DEBEVOISE, b. 8 Nov 1776, dau of John Debevoise (b 1751) and Jane Beedel (b 1757). Following James' death, Jane married on 4 Aug 1814 Daniel Lake who died in 1826. The marriage was recorded in both Jamaica, NY and Newtown, NY. A Daniel Lake appears on the 1820 census index for Queens Co., NY. Apparently James and Jane had a very contentious relationship, and the following account from 12 Dec 1805, is one of several similar pieces found in the Commercial Advertiser of New York: "Whereas my wife, Jane Titus, has left my bed and board, this is to warn all persons from harboring her, or trusting her on my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting. Nov 13 1m* James Titus" The following item is found in the book Queens County in Olden Times by Henry Onderdonk, Jr. (1865), p 96: "1809--James Titus of Newtown, died 24 Aug, from a blow received two days before, on the right side. Six minutes before his death, he said it was by an oar in the hands of John Harper, at the South Bay Landing, wither they had gone to get clams. Harper has previously loosened two of his teeth by throwing a clam-shell in his face, and had also had him down in the water." Following James's death, it was nearly a year later when on 6 Aug 1810 letters of administration were granted to James's sister Hannah and brother-in-law Daniel North. Jane was apparently still married to James, and had renounced her right of dower. The minor children Edward, Eliza Jane, and John Titus were all named. Following the death of Jane's second husband, Daniel Lake, Jane and her father, John Debevoise, were administratrix and administrator of Lake's estate, which was "insufficient to pay his debts." Before James's death, but after the couple had likely separated, Jane had her three children baptized at the First Reformed Church of Newtown on 9 Oct 1808. Baptismal records in this church typically gave the name of the father and mother, but the name of James Titus was put in parentheses, suggesting that he was not present for the baptism. While there is no death or burial record for James, other than the notice above, it is likely that he was buried in the yard of this church where his children were baptized. Children, b. in Newtown: [68]

  • Edward, b. Newtown 26 Sep 1800, bapt. at the First Reformed Church there on 9 Oct 1808, m. Catherine DeNYSE. [69]
  • Eliza Jane, b. Newtown 16 Dec 1801, bapt 9 Oct 1808. She m. Newtown 10 Sep 1820 Henry STOOTHOFF, and she was called "daughter of the late James Titus." SOURCE: LONG ISLAND STAR, BROOKLYN, N. Y., WEDS 13 SEP 1820, PAGE 3.
  • John, b. 16 March 1803, bapt. 9 Oct 1808, living in 1880, m. Catharine _______, b. ca 1812, living in 1880. John appears on the 1830 and 1840 censuses for Williamsburg, with a large number of young men in the household both years. In 1850 he was called a tailor, living in Williamsburgh with wife, six children, and three other boarders. In 1860 he was still in Brooklyn with wife Catharine, two youngest children, and 15 other boarders with the surnames Warner, Pease, Stillwell, and Copet. Oddly, in 1870 John is found alone in Brooklyn, aged 63, but in 1880 he is once again enumerated with wife Catherine and son William. He was called a retired clothier in 1880. Either Catharine was a second wife, or her age is misrepresented in the census. Children, all b. NY, all found in 1850 census: (1) John, b. ca 1826, called a tailor in the 1850 census; (2) Sarah J., b. ca 1830; (3) James L., b. ca 1834; (4) Ann E., b. ca 1836; (5) Catharine, b. ca 1840; in 1850 and 1860 censuses with parents in Brooklyn; (6) William J., b. ca 1845; in 1850, 1860, and 1880 censuses in Brooklyn with parents.

Child of Jane and Daniel Lake:

  • Ellen Lake, b. 8 Dec 1820, bapt. 11 Feb 1821 (First Reformed Church of Newtown)

(3g) Edward Titus[edit]

Edward, b. Newtown (now Elmhurst), NY 26 Sep 1800, d. Brooklyn 23 Oct 1848, married about 1823 Catharine DeNYSE, the daughter of John DeNyse and Sarah Lott. Edward's father died when he was young, and his mother then married Daniel Lake. The 16 September 1799 birth date for Edward on his tombstone appears to be in error. Two records give his birth date as 26 September 1800, and his baptismal date as 9 October 1808 at the First Reformed Church of Newtown, Long Island. An 1800 birth year is much more likely than 1799 because his parents were married on 11 May 1799. The family lived in Williamsburgh (later a neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY), where Edward appears on the 1830 and 1840 censuses. Following his death, his widow continued to live in Williamsburgh until she died. Edward and Catharine were originally buried in Union Cemetery, which was vacated, with all the burials being moved to other cemeteries. They now have a monument in Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, in a plot with their youngest daughter, Sarah Jane Buckingham. They had seven known children, all born in Williamsburgh (now Brooklyn): [70]

  • James, b. Jan 1824, d. Brooklyn 31 Dec 1904, married about 1852 (per 1900 census) to Caroline EDWARDS, b. Staten Island NY (per 1865 census) 15 July 1833 (per d. cert; July 1834 per 1900 census), d. Brooklyn 27 Aug 1916. He was a clerk, living at home in Williamsburgh with his mother and siblings in 1850. He was a grocer living in Williamsburgh, NY with his wife and one son in 1860. Also with his family in 1860 was James Debevoise with his wife and two children [Debevoise was the maiden name of his paternal grandmother]. In 1880 he was living in Brooklyn with wife and three children, and in 1900 he was still in Brooklyn with wife, youngest son Frank, and his daughter Carrie Gilluly and Carrie's daughter Ethel, aged 7. The children of James and Caroline, all born in NY, were: (1) Edward, b. June 1858, d. Brooklyn 16 June 1921; (2) child, known only from 1900 census; (3) Caroline, b. Greenpoint, Kings, 3 June 1868, d. Queens 9 June 1948, m. ______ Gilluly; (4) Frank, b. 18 July 1873, d. Brooklyn 15 July 1916. James and his wife Caroline, and both sons, are buried in the same plot as his brother Charles G. Titus in the Cedar Grove Cemetery, where a gravestone was installed for them in May 2017. [71] [72]
  • Charles George Debevoise, b. 13 Nov 1825, m. Anna Louisa SULLIVAN (see below).
  • John, b. 14 Oct 1828, d. Brooklyn 2 Nov 1896, m. c. 1853 Margaret MONTAGNE, b. NY 8 Aug 1828 (from Methodist Church records), d. Brooklyn 16 April 1888, the daughter of Abraham D. Montanye and Ann Betts. John was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of Williamsburgh on 22 April 1829, when he was six months old. He was a locksmith living at home with mother and siblings in Williamsburgh in 1850. In 1860 he was a brass finisher living in Williamsburgh with wife and two children, and in 1870 he was doing the same work, living in the same locality, but now with four children. He was apparently successful at accumulating some wealth, because in 1860 he valued his personal property at $2000, and in 1870 at $25,000. In 1880 he was still a brass finisher living in Brooklyn with wife, four children, and his wife's sister Anna Gallaudet, aged 42. Margaret was a milliner, working in Brooklyn at 249 Grand Ave. She made a will dated 17 March 1886 and proved 10 May 1888. Children of John and Margaret, born Brooklyn: (1) William H., b. ca 1853; (2) John Eugene, b. May 1860, d. c. 1925, m. Kings Co. 6 July 1887 Elizabeth "Libbie" Cable, b. June 1860, d. after 1930; (3) Ida (twin), b. 17 Sep 1863; (4) Josephine (twin), b. 17 Sep 1863, was in 1880 census with parents. See the end of this Titus line for some source data on Margaret Montagne and her parents. John and Margaret are buried in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn. [73]
  • Francis, b. Williamsburg (now Brooklyn), NY Nov 1830, d. Newark, NJ 21 Nov 1919, m. c. 1855 Mary ANDREWS, b. Whitehall (Wash. Co.) NY 31 Oct 1836 (per d. record, but likely about four years earlier based on census records), d. Newark, NJ 28 April 1917, daughter of Elisha Andrews and Carolyn McLain of Whitehall, New York. Francis was a wheelwright living at home in Williamsburgh with mother and siblings in 1850 (his father had died). In 1860 he was a carriage maker living with wife, Mary A. and three children in Williamsburgh (13th Ward of Brooklyn) in the home of James H. Hodgson, a carriage painter, and his family. In 1870 he was a school teacher living in the same place, but now with four children. In 1880 he was still in Brooklyn, now a carriage manufacturer, and his wife and three of his children were still at home. He is not found in 1900, but by 1910 he was living in Newark, Ward 11, Essex Co., NJ, and his wife and same three children were living with him. Francis appears in most Newark, NJ city directories from 1893 to 1913, giving an indication of when he moved there and when he died. His children (all born in NY): (1) Mary E., b. ca 1856, living with parents in 1870, 1875, 1880, and 1910, but her age in 1910 (45) is about ten years too low; (2) Catherine A. "Katie,", b. ca 1858, living with parents in 1870 and 1875, but not 1880, so had likely married or died by then; (3) Caroline "Carrie" A., b. Jan 1860, living with parents in 1870, 1875, 1880, and 1910; (4) child, born and died by 1910, but say 1864. The 1910 census states that Mary Titus had had five children, three of whom were living; (5) Ida, b. ca 1868, living with parents in 1870, 1875, 1880, and 1910, and still living in Newark, NJ, aged 72, in the 1940 census. Francis, Mary, and three of their children are buried in the same plot in East Ridgelawn Cemetery, Clifton (Passaic County), NJ. They are in Section 23, Lot 54, and Francis and Mary are in grave 2. [74]
  • William Henry, b. 10 Jan 1834, d. NY 20 April 1911, m. 1853 Clara Ann COZINE, b. NY 20 Oct 1833, d. NY 26 June 1909, the daughter of John and Sarah Cozine. William was a brass founder, living at home in Williamsburgh with mother and siblings in 1850 (his father had died by then). He was living with wife in Brooklyn, Ward 15 in 1860 and with two children, Sarah, aged 6 and Catharine, aged 9/12, and also a Sarah Cozine, aged 53, his wife's mother. In 1870 Wm H. was on the road, and living as a boarder in Brooklyn, and may also be the William H. Titus who was a boarder in Danbury, CT the same year. In 1880 William and Clara are together in Brooklyn again with one child, Kate A., aged 20. In 1900 it was just the couple living in Ward 15 of Brooklyn. Clara had had two children, one of whom was living at the time of the 1900 census. Children: (1) Sarah, b. 1853, married Robert R. Bock, and buried 22 June 1881 at Cypress Hills; (2) Catharine A., b. Sep 1859, still living with parents in 1880, married Frederick A. Cross; she was buried at Cypress Hills 24 March 1916. William, Clara, and both daughters are buried in the same plot with a single family monument in the Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn. [75]
  • Edward L., b. 1836, d. NY 26 Oct 1879, m. c 1865 Dorothea "Dora" Rebecca LAWRENCE, b. NY c. 1842, d. NY 28 Nov 1919. Edward appears with wife and older daughter in the 1870 census for Brooklyn. By 1880 he was dead, and his widow appears on the census with their two daughters and other boarders. He is the Edward L. Titus who died in October 1879 of inflamation of the lungs, appearing in the 1880 mortality schedule. He and Dora had two daughters, both named in the probate documents of his mother. Following Edward's death, his widow married George Henderson, and they are both buried in the same plot with Edward. Children of Edward and Dora Titus: (1) Florence, b. NY 1866; (2) Emma R., b. NY 1870, buried 1 November 1906 at Cypress Hills. Edward, his wife, and her second husband are all buried in the same plot in Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, but there is no extant gravestone. [76]
  • Sarah Jane, b. 11 Sep 1840, d. Brooklyn 23 May 1906, m. c. 1863 George Allan BUCKINGHAM, b. NY 7 July 1839, d. NY 28 Jan 1917. Sarah was living at home in Williamsburg with mother and siblings in 1850 and 1860. In 1870, she and husband and son were living with her mother in Williamsburgh (Brooklyn, Ward 13), and in 1880 the same people lived together, except George was now head of household, and they had another son born. In 1900 they were still in Brooklyn, and living with them were their younger son and his wife. By 1910 Sarah had died, and George was living with a second wife, Kate C.; Allan and Jennie were still living with him. Children, born in Brooklyn: (1) Edward T., b. circa 1864; (2) Allan G., b. Aug 1873, m. Jennie _______. It is difficult to determine whether or not George served during the Civil War, because there were several contemporary men of the same name living in the New York City area. Sarah and George share a massive monument in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn. [77]

(2g) Charles George DeBevoise Titus[edit]

Charles George DeBevoise Titus, b. Williamsburgh (now in Brooklyn), NY 13 Nov 1825, d. Brooklyn 20 Jan 1908, was the second of seven children born to Edward Titus and Katherine DeNyse of Williamsburgh. He was baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church in Williamsburgh on 18 Dec 1825. In the 1850 census, Charles was living at home in Williamsburgh with his mother and siblings, and was called a wheelwright. In 1860 he was in Williamsburgh (which had become part of the 14th Ward of Brooklyn) with wife Louisa and oldest son, and was called a carriage maker, and in 1870 he was a cabinet maker living in the same place with wife Annie and his three youngest children. Why the oldest son, John E. Titus, aged 10, wasn't included with the family is uncertain, but it is known that he spent a lot of time with his maternal grandmother in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 1880 Charles was enumerated in Brooklyn with his wife and three living children. The 1900 census particulars appear below. His death certificate gives his address as 191 Ryerson St. when he died. Charles G. and Anna are buried in the Cedar Grove Cem., Flushing, NY; a gravestone was installed for them in May 2017. Children: [78]

  • John Edward, b. Brooklyn 3 Sep 1859, m. May RYMES (see below).
  • Josephine V., b. Brooklyn 21 March 1862, d. Brooklyn 28 Nov 1921, m. Kings Co., NY 14 Oct 1886 Edward CARPENTER, b. CT June 1864, d. Brooklyn 2 Oct 1953, likely the son of an Elizabeth Carpenter who was an elderly woman living with his family in 1900. Josephine and Edward lived their entire lives in Brooklyn, where they appear on the 1900, 1910, and 1920 federal censuses and 1915 state census. Following Josephine's death, Edward appears to be the widower on the 1930 census, living in Brooklyn in the household of a niece named Emma Gildersleeve. In 1940 he was living alone in Brooklyn, and his address is given as 191, but no street name is given [is this 191 Ryerson, where his in-laws lived?] Ed worked in the footwear industry, and was the foreman of a shoe factory in 1900, and a shoe buyer in 1915 and in 1940, but retired by the later date, since he had not worked the previous year. Josephine and Edward had one son, Walter, and perhaps other children who are buried in the same plot in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Flushing, NY (Elm, plot 116): Lillian Carpenter, d. 26 Nov 1912 (grave 2) and Mary Foley, d. 26 Aug 1952 (grave 2B). [79]
  • Catherine, b. NY 20 Jan 1864, d. NY 12 Dec 1936, m. c. 1893 Ezra BAKEWEL, b. NY Dec 1867, d. NY 20 Jan 1950. Catherine and Ezra lived their entire lives in Brooklyn, being enumerated on the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 censuses there. Ezra worked for the railroad, and in 1900 was a conductor, and in 1910 a gateman. In 1920 he was a watch maker, and in 1930 a watch repairer. Catherine and Ezra had two children: Ezra J., Jr., b. April 1894, and and Josephine L., born August 1895 in Brooklyn, and appears with her parents and brother in the 1900, 1910, 1915, and 1920 federal/state censuses. Ezra Jr. is buried in the same plot with his parents. [80]
  • Mary Ann "Anna", b. c. 1867, d. c. 1876, appeared with her parents on the 1870 federal census, aged 3, which to my knowledge is the only record of her existence, other than an obscure family record saying she died at the age of 9. There is no official record of her burial here, so she was likely buried in the Union Cemetery in Brooklyn, and may or may not have been moved here. There is little record of those who were moved, because the remains moved from Union were coded, but the codes were not interpreted upon re-burial in Cedar Grove. A gravestone for Mary Ann and her family was installed in Cedar Grove in May 2017. [81]

(1g) John Edward Titus[edit]

John Edward, the son of Charles G. Titus and Anna Louisa Sullivan, was b. Brooklyn, NY 3 Sep 1859, d. Newton, Mass. 18 Jan 1931, and m. Manchester, NH 31 Oct 1888 May RYMES, b. Boston, Mass. 26 Jan 1868, d. Newton Upper Falls, Mass. 7 June 1934, the daughter of William Henry Rymes and Olive Anne Pollard. Though living in Brooklyn as he grew up, John spent a lot of time with his maternal grandmother, Mary (Cowenhoven) Sullivan, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and enjoyed canoeing and sailing on the Raritan River. This is likely why, when he was aged ten, that he does not appear with his parents in the 1870 census in Brooklyn. He had hopes of going to school at Rutgers, but this did not transpire. Instead he went to Boston where he was apprenticed to the Olmstead Brothers landscape architecture firm. The birth record of his son in 1889 gives his occupation as salesman. According to his daughter, Olive, he worked at planning and laying out estates in and around Boston, Long Island, Buzzard's Bay, Portland Maine, Dublin, New Hampshire, and Plymouth, Mass., among other places. He became a civil engineer, at which occupation he worked his entire life. While in Sunday School in Boston, he met his future wife, May Rymes. They were married in the General John Stark House in Manchester, New Hampshire (the general's granddaughter, Lizzie Stark, was a first cousin and best friend of May's mother). Shortly after their marriage, John and May bought the large house at 1129 Boylston Street in Newton Highlands, Mass., and this is where they reared their four children, and where they lived the remainder of their lives. Living with them in that house was May's mother and grandmother, both likely until their deaths. John and May are buried in the Newton Cemetery. Children: [82]

  • Arthur E., b. Boylston St., Brookline, Mass. 16 Aug 1889 (b rec), d. Boston, Mass. 23 June 1944, m. Ayer, Mass. 25 May 1918 (mar. rec) Maude Mabel MARTINEAU, b. Littleton NH 2 Mar 1887, d. Weymouth, Mass. 27 Feb 1989, three days before her 102nd birthday, daughter of William M. Martineau and Sophia Seeley. Both of Maude's parents were born in Canada, her father's parents were born in French Canada, and her mother's parents were both born in Ireland. In 1900 Maude was living with her parents and two sisters on School Street in Littleton, NH, but in 1910 they were living in Boston, Mass. At the time of their marriage in 1918, Arthur was a soldier and Maude was a clerk. When Arthur registered for the draft on 5 June 1917, his occupation was civil engineer and concrete inspector for the State of New Hampshire, employed at Goffstown. However, the draft registration was made at his hometown of Newton, Mass. In 1920, Arthur and Maude were living with her mother and siblings on Berlin St., in Quincy, Mass. He was a civil engineer and she was a clerk. In 1930 Arthur and Maude were still living in Quincy, next door to Maude's two sisters. Arthur was still a civil engineer, doing field work, and was called a veteran of the World War. The value of his house was given as $14,000. In 1940, Arthur and Maude were living on Chapman St. in the Wollaston section of Quincy, again next to Maude's two sisters, and the value of the house was given as $3750. They lived in the same house in which they were living in 1935, and Arthur was a civil engineer working at the [Boston] Navy Yard. When Arthur registered for the draft in 1941, during World War II, he gave his address as 79 Chapman St., Wollaston, Mass. and his employer as the Boston Navy Yard in Charlestown, Mass. His next of kin was given as his sister, Dorothy Matthews of 1129 Boylston St., in Newton Upper Falls, Mass. Arthur and Maude share a gravestone in the Newton, Mass. Cemetery. They had no children.

(8g) Ralph Hunt[edit]

TAG 26(1950):4-5

Ralph Hunt, b. c. 1613 or maybe c. 1623, d. Newtown, Long Island Feb 1676/7. The name of his wife is not known. She was not Elizabeth, the daughter of Edward Jessup of Westchester Co., NY.

The will of Ralph Hunt of Newtown was dated 12 Jan 1676/7, with codicil the next day, and was proved 26 Feb 1676/7 with administration granted to son Edward Hunt. Edward was directed to give his three brothers as they come of age their portions. A sheep was given to each of daughter Anna's three children, and daughter Mary was named in the codicil. The names of the three brothers of Edward were revealed in a variety of records. Children:

(7g) Edward Hunt[edit]

TAG 26(1950):5-7

Edward, the son of Ralph Hunt of Newtown, LI, was b. c. 1652, d. Newtown Jan or Feb 1715/6, and m. (1) c. 1680 Sarah BETTS, b. c. 1660, d. say 1699 (but definitely by March 1711 when called deceased in her father's will), the daughter of Richard Betts and Joanna Chamberlain; m. (2) say 1700, Elizabeth HAZARD, b. say 1675 (her brother Thomas was b. 1682), d. Newtown 11 Oct 1747, the daughter of Jonathan Hazard and Hannah Laurenson of Newtown, and sister of Thomas and James Hazard. The will of Richard Betts of Newtown, dated 16 March 1711 (and proved 26 Nov 1713) devises "to the children of my daughter Sarah Hunt deceased." The will of Edward Hunt of Newtown was dated 15 Jan 1715/6 and proved 29 Feb 1715/6, naming wife Elizabeth and all of his children except Anne, who had apparently died. The will of Elizabeth Hunt, dated 3 Sep 1747, but never proved, names daughter Hannah, wife of Thomas Smith of New Jersey, and son Jonathan Hunt, and unnamed children of both Hannah and Jonathan. The children of Edward were: [87]

with first wife, Sarah Betts:

  • Martha, b. say 1682, was bequeathed 20 pounds in her father's 1715/6 will.
  • Edward, b. Newtown 3 Feb 1683/4, d. c. Dec 1759, aged 75, m. Elizabeth LAURENSON, daughter of Jonathan and Hannah Laurenson. The probate of his estate took place on 13 Dec 1759. They had at least one son, John (d. 1769). Edward moved to Hunterdon Co., NJ where he was living on land given to him by his father, as mentioned in his father's 1715/6 will. In his father's will, he was given a small iron kettle for his birthright, suggesting that he was the oldest son.
  • Richard, b. c. 1686, m. Newtown 14 May 1711 Anne TAYLOR, settled in Hunterdon Co., NJ, and was living on land from his father at the time his father wrote his will in 1715/6.
  • Ralph, b. say 1688, living in 1749 in Hopewell, Hunterdon Co., NJ, m. Elizabeth OSBORN, daughter of William and Susan Osborn. He received one pound from his father's 1715/6 will, perhaps being given land at another time.
  • Anna, b. say 1690, d. by 1715/6 when NOT named in her father's will, m. at the Presb. church, Newtown 21 May 1711 Isaac REEDER.
  • Sarah, b. c. 1694, m. by 15 Jan 1715 Silas TITUS, the son of Content Titus of Newtown. She was named Sarah Titus in the will of her father, dated 15 Jan 1715/6, and was bequeathed 18 pounds.

Of the following children, Jonathan and Hannah are known to be children of Edward's second wife, Elizabeth (Hazard), because they were named in her will; the other three are assumed to be her children as well because of their associations with the known children, or in the case of Elizabeth, because of her name being that of her assumed mother. Only the birth date for Hannah is known, but it is not known where she fits among these five children. If she was one of the older children, then the birth years might be 1707, 1709, 1711, 1713, and 1715, the last being close to the death date of their father, Edward Hunt:

  • Elizabeth, b. say 1701, named in father's 1715/6 will, and given an unspecified legacy.
  • Thomas, b. say 1703, under age in his father's 1715/6 will, was, with his brother Jonathan, left his father's house and land in Newtown in his father's 1715/6 will.
  • Abigail, b. say 1705, with her sister Hannah she was left a house and lot that was formerly Isaac Gray's in her father's 1715/6 will.
  • Jonathan, b. say 1707, under age in his father's 1715/6 will, was left a piece of land that Samuel Wright lived on, presumably in Newtown. He was left ten pounds in the 1747 will of his mother, which also left estate to his unnamed children.
  • Hannah, b. 21 March 1709 (per family record, or b. c. 1712 per tombstone), d. 17 Aug 1759, aged 47 (tombstone), m. c. 1734 Thomas SMITH, b. c. 1703, living in 1769, the son of Jasper Smith of Maidenhead Twp, Mercer Co., New Jersey. With her sister Abigail, Hannah was left a house and lot that was formerly Isaac Gray's in her father's 1715/6 will. The 1747 will of her mother left her a negro wench named Dinah, and also left estate to her unnamed children. Hannah and Thomas had seven known children born 1735 to 1755. Hannah has an extant grave marker in the Lawrenceville Cemetery, Mercer Co., NJ. [88]

(8g) Richard Betts[edit]

Riker's Annals of Newtown (1852):373-5; NEHGR 55(1901):300; TAG 72(1997):297; there appear to be plenty of dates available on the children, but I have as yet found nothing properly sourced. How can there be so little documentation on such a prominent man?

Richard Betts was b. say 1620, d. Newtown, Long Island 18 Nov 1713, "aged 100" (likely exaggerated), m. Joanna CHAMBERLAIN, bapt. Strood, Kent, England Oct 1630, living Newtown, LI 1711, daughter of Robert Chamberlain and Elizabeth (STOUGHTON) Scudder. Richard was in New England as early as 1648, when he appears in Ipswich, Mass., but moved to Newtown, L.I. in 1656 where he became a man of considerable wealth and influence.

Robert, who spelled his name Chamberlayne, was originally of Bedfordshire, subscribed at Brasenose College, Oxford 30 Jan 1600/1, aged 18, and took his BA on 13 Dec 1604. He was designated a plebeian (commoner), indicating his humble origin. He served as pastor at Wardington, Oxfordshire, as chaplain to Sir Richard Chetwood, who likely recommended him to the living at Strood, Kent. He became the pastor of the parish of Strood, and is named frequently in the Strood churchwardens' accounts. He appears to have officiated there from about 1616 to about 1636, when perhaps ill health prompted him to step down. His will was dated 24 Sep 1638. Following his death, his widow came to New England with her children Elizabeth Scudder and Samuel and Joanna Chamberlain, following her two brothers, Thomas and Israel Stoughton, and her son John Scudder. In New England, Elizabeth, as "Mestres Chamberlin" joined the church of Rev. John Lothrop at Barnstable (in the Plymouth Colony) on 6 Oct 1644, but the following year was in Essex County in the Mass. Bay Colony when she appeared in court. Her scant inventory of 32 pounds was filed on 30 March 1647. Children of Robert with first wife, Joanna:

  • Matthew, bapt. Strood 8 Dec 1622; no further record.
  • Thomas, bur. Strood 9 Oct 1630

Children of Elizabeth with first husband, John Scudder, baptisms at Strood:

(6g) Moses Beadel[edit]

website, citing: Early Settlers of Bushwick by Andrew J Provost Junior page 9; Van Anden - Van Enden Family by Paul W Prindle 1980 page 5[119]

Moses Beadel/Bedell/Beegle, possibly the son of Daniel Bordet and Annatje Sprong, was born in Hempstead, Long Island about 1725, died 1779, and married about 1754 Jane (or Jannetje) Van ENDEN, b. in New Utrecht Aug 1736, the daughter of Hendrick Van Enden (who has also been called Frederick Van Nanda) and Antje Calyer. The link between Moses and supposed father Daniel has not been well established, since Moses is not mentioned in Daniel's will. In 1769, Moses and Jane inherited the Onderdonk House, supposedly from Jane's father. However, he died in 1750 (leaving a will), so perhaps it was Jane's mother who died in 1769. The house is still standing today at the corner of Flushing and Onderdonk Avenues in Queens, NY. According to one of the attached blogs, during the American Revolutionary War, Moses, enlisted in the First Battalion of the New York Regiment, when he was 50 or more years old. He was captured on 21 November 1776, and held on a prison ship off the New Jersey coast, and died a prisoner in July 1779. The difficulty with believing this is that there is an almost continuous military record for a Moses Beadel from 1777 to 1780, with no mention of being a prisoner of war. This suggests that the military records are for Moses, Jr. I find no record of any Moses Beadel being a prisoner of war. Children: [120] [121]

  • Femmetje, baptized 13 Dec 1754
  • Jannetje/Jane, b. 1757, d. 1847, m. c.1775 John DeBEVOISE, b. 1751, d. 1829. They are buried in the Newtown Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery, in Elmhurst, Queens (see above).
  • Moses, b. c. 1759, m. Jane REMSEN. He also served in the Am. Rev. War. They had four known children.

(6g) DeNyse DeNyse[edit]

Early Settlers Kings County (1881):94 [128]

DeNyse DeNyse, the son of Jacques DeNyse and Rymeriga Simonson, was born in New Utrecht, Kings County, NY on 5 April 1726 and died at Fort Hamilton, Kings County on 21 Sep 1806. He married (1) 18 May 1743 Teuntje Van BRUNT, the daughter of Rutgert Van Brunt and Jannetje Van Dyke. If the birth and marriage dates given here are indeed accurate, then Denyse married at the age of 17, and his wife was 15. He supposedly m. (2) Elizabeth BENNET, daughter of Jacob Bennet of Gowanus. Stiles' History of Kings County (New York) gives a few details about his life during the time of the American Revolution. He apparently operated a ferry between Fort Hamilton and Staten Island. A battery was established near his house "near the Narrows", which is likely where Fort Hamilton sits. On 7 July 1776, prior to the landing of the British Army on Long Island, the battery fired upon the British fleet. When the fleet returned fire "three shot had near done damage to DeNyse DeNyse's house (located near the battery); one narrowly missed the kitchen in which were a number of the family, a second struck the barn, and a third destroyed much of the garden fence opposite the front door of the mansion house." (quoted material from Teunis G. Bergen, Genealogy of the Van Brunt Family, 1867, p 24) DeNyse and four others represented Kings County at a New York provincial convention that was assembled at "the Exchange" in New York City. The purpose of this convention was to choose delegates to the Continental Congress. He was not chosen to attend the Continental Congress, despite some accounts that make that claim. Because of his membership in the provincial convention, several of his descendants have joined the Sons of the American Revolution based on his patriotic service. Children: [129]

  • Jacques, b. 5 Dec 1744, m. Antje SCHENCK; see below.
  • Rutgert, b. 1746, d. 9 July 1795, unmarried, and buried in the New Utrecht Cem. with a fine marker. [130]

Rime Stewart wrote a will long before her death, on 29 Oct 1806, mentioning four children of her sister Jane Smith. She was the heir of her father that was left with most of the responsibilities of managing the estate and other family matters. Rime is buried in the New Utrecht Cem. [131]

(5g) Jacques DeNyse[edit]

Jacques, the son of Denyse De Nyse and Teuntje Van Brunt, was born in Kings County, NY 5 Dec 1744 and died in New Utrecht (now in Brooklyn), NY 4 Dec 1791. He was married in Kings County, New York on 10 June 1763 to Ann SCHENCK, the daughter of Garret Schenck and Jannetje Couwenhoven of Pleasant Valley, New Jersey. Jacques was a yeoman (farmer) and plagued with financial difficulties. In 1895, Rev. Hugh Smith Carpenter described him as being "considerably of a good spender." It was for this reason, according to Dr. Carpenter, that Jacques' father, DeNyse DeNyse, entrusted his property and papers to his daughters. There is a fairly clear record of the debt trail left by Jacques which has been documented in the book Reminisces of Old New Utrecht and Gowanus by Charlotte Bangs, 1912, pp 43-44. At least four of the sons of Jacques served from Kings County during the War of 1812. Among his children were: [133]

  • DeNyse D., b. 27 April 1764, d. Brooklyn 17 Dec 1847, m. Mary "Polly" SEABURG or Seabury (1762-18 Aug 1849). They had two known children. Denyse was an ensign during the War of 1812. Denyse and Mary are buried in the Silvermount Cemetery, Sunnyside, Staten Island. [134]
  • Garrett, b. 7 Jun 1767, d. July 1801
  • John, b. 24 June 1769, m. Sarah LOTT
  • William, b. 12 Jan 1772, d. 6 Jan 1849, m. (1) Maria Van NUYS and (2) Nancy CROPSEY; was a Captain during War of 1812
  • Jane, b. 6 Jan 1773, d. 4 Nov 1842, m. Daniel BARRE (24 May 1773-28 Jun 1832); they are buried in the New Utrecht Cemetery. Daniel was a private during the War of 1812. [135]
  • Isaac, b. 26 Sep 1776, d. 6 Sep 1824, m. Magdalen Van NUYS. He was a private in the company of Capt William DeNyse (his brother) during the War of 1812. He was a firefighter, and a member of Brooklyn's first Hook and Ladder company in 1817.
  • Hendrick, b. 19 Dec 1781, was named as a legatee in the 22 Aug 1800 will of his grandfather, DeNyse DeNyse. He may be the Henry Denyse on the 1810 census in New Utrecht, in a family with six people (two of whom may be brothers or boarders).
  • Teunis, b. 19 Jul 1786, d. 13 Jul 1825, m. Sarah HAGEMAN

(4g) John DeNyse[edit]

John, the son of Jacques DeNyse and Antje Schenck of New Utrecht (now in Brooklyn), New York, was born 24 July 1769 and died 5 December 1829. He was married on 24 October 1793 to Sarah LOTT, the daughter of Simon Lott and Annester Van Nuyse. He was a captain in Lt Col Jeremiah Johnston's regiment from Kings County during the War of 1812. He and Sarah had the following known children: [136]

  • Antje (Ann), b. 19 April 1794, d. 20 March 1861, and m. Peter MOORE, b. 1800, appears to have died by 1850. Peter Moore is found in the 1830 census in New Utrecht with family, and in the 1840 census in Kings County, with family. In 1850, Ann Morre, aged 57, is found in New Utrecht with three presumed children: John P., aged 24, Peter P., aged 19, and Ann, aged 15. In 1860, Ann Moore, aged 64, was a servant in the household of Richard Vanpelt in New Utrecht. Ann had a marker in the New Utrecht Cemetery, but it could not be found in 2013. [137]
  • Simon, b. Kings Co., NY 10 March 1796, d. Brooklyn 6 Nov 1878, m. in Brooklyn 16 Feb 1821 Margaret Adrian BOGART, b. 24 May 1798, d. 1855 in New Utrecht, the daughter of Adrian Bogart and Phebe Ann Bailey. Simon was a soldier during the War of 1812, serving as a private in Captain Francis Spilman's Company, New York Militia. He enlisted on 2 September 1814, was discharged on 2 December 1814, and served as a substitute for Gabriel DeBevoise. He and Margaret had a large number of children, most of whom are enumerated with them on the 1850 census in New Utrecht (now Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn). Following his wife's death in 1855, Simon continued to live in New Utrecht, where he is found on the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Simon and Margaret are likely buried in the New Utrecht Cemetery, where memorials have been created for them. [138]
  • Jacques, b. ca 1799, m. Jannetje COZINE, b. 26 Dec 1802, the daughter of Cornellus J. Cozine and Anna Snedeker. They had seven children. A Jacques DeNyse was a shipmaster in Manhattan in 1835. Also, this may be the Jacques DeNyse who died 28 February 1854 and is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, but this is doubtful since the female buried in the same plot is named Louisa.
  • Jane, b. c. 1802, m. Garret Dorland COZINE, b. NY 30 Nov 1800, the son of Cornelius J. Cozine (b 1776) and Anna Snedeker (b 1780). They appear on the 1850 census in Gravesend, Kings Co., NY with their three youngest children. They had five known children, of whom the oldest, John G., fought in the Civil War.
  • Catherine, b. 1804, m. Edward TITUS. They are buried in Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. [139]
  • DeNyse, b. ca 1812, m. Eliza MOORE; he was aged 38 in 1850 when enumerated on census in New Utrecht with wife and many children.

Sales had been tried and punished and put under the supervision of Mr. Coxeshall (John Coggeshall) for three years. On 4 March 1633/4 the court ordered "that John Sayles shall be severely whipped for running from his master, Mr. Coxeall." The last record of him in the Mass. Bay Colony was on 7 April 1635 when his case was referred to Mr. Treasurer (William Coddington) & Mr. Pynchon to examine & prepare the business "betwixt Mr. Coxeall, Sayles his daughter, & John Levens". He soon went to live with the Dutch in New Netherlands. His nuncupative will was dated 17 April 1645, with half his estate going to his "brother-in-law...Tonis Nysen [actually his son-in-law], and the other half to wife Marritjen Roberts."

John was a fuller, tanner, cordwainer, farmer, and sawmill operator. He served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution and was captain of the Militia. His military and pension files are extensive. A summary of his military experience during the war is found in a typed letter within his pension file, and is transcribed here, as follows: "On October 12, 1775, while residing in Monmouth County, New Jersey, John Schanck was appointed 1st lieutenant, his commission dated June 13, 1777; he served in Captain Thomas Hamm's (?) Company, Colonel Nathaniel Scudder's New Jersey Regiment; in the fall of 1777, before the battle of Germantown, he received a commission as captain in the New Jersey Troops and served as such officer in Colonel Asher Holmes' New Jersey Regiment. The soldier state that he served from the date of his first appointment as lieutenant until sometime in 1782, on tours of month each, one year and two months as lieutenant and two years and ten months as captain. His service was rendered almost entirely in Monmouth County, New Jersey, guarding the sea coast. He commanded his company at the battle of Monmouth and stated that in that battle he acted as guide to the American Horse commanded by Colonel Moylan. He was also in several skirmishes, one at the Highlands in New York. John Schenck was allowed pension on his application executed July 25, 1832, while a resident of Freehold Township, Monmouth County New Jersey, in which county, he stated, he had always lived. He died in said Monmouth County, August 28, 1834." Of their fourteen children, a number are represented in the papers at the Monmouth County Historical Society, but mostly their son Delafayette. John Schanck is buried in the Holmdel Cemetery, Monmouth Co., NJ, and while there is no record of Mary, she is also very likely there as well. [153]

Kings Co., NY 10 June 1763 Jacques DeNYSE, born in Kings County, NY 5 Dec 1744 and died in New Utrecht (now in Brooklyn), NY 4 Dec 1791, the son of DeNyse DeNyse and Teuntje Van Brunt.

WikiTree Website

Jean, son of Brisse Montfort, was supposedly baptized in Valenciennes, Nord, France 11 Oct 1582, "died about 4 Jan 1661 in New Amsterdam" and married say 1604 Jacqueline Moreau, supposedly bapt. at Valenciennes 31 Dec 1578, d. New Amsterdam 1639, daughter of Nicolas and Marguerite Moreau. The website narrative says that Jean was received as a member of the Walloon (French) church in Amsterdam, North Holland, on 28 Nov 1617, and that he and his wife emigrated from Amsterdam 25 Jan 1624 aboard the ship Eenfracht. Jean was of a French-speaking Huguenot family. They were supposedly in the same group of settlers as the Rapaljes. They supposedly returned to Holland where their son Pieter was married in 1630 at the Wallon church in Amsterdam, and later returned to New Netherland in 1639.

(5g) Thomas Sullivan[edit]

Thomas, the son of James O'Sullivan and Molly Prendergast, was b. 1739, living in 1802, and was a resident of Patrick Street in Waterford, Ireland. He m. (1) 1760 Anna GRAHAM, and had a son Robert b. 1761. Thomas m. (2) 1764 Jane BULL, b. c. 1745, d. c. 1778 (based on having a child b. c. 1775, and assuming marrying last wife c. 1780). He is assumed to have m. (3) c. 1780 Christiana Palmer. Thomas was a pewterer, and a member of the Presbyternian church in Waterford. He was living in 1802 when he was given the "Freedom of the City" of Waterford. His will was dated 4 Feb 1795, and a copy of it is found in the manuscript genealogy of this family by Leonard Sullivan, found at the New York Public Library in Manhattan. The date of probate has not been found. Children, with the second wife, born in Waterford: [164]

  • Edward, b. 1765, m. Lady Ann BULL, immigrated to America in 1794, so not in father's 1795 will.
  • Jane, b. c. 1768, m. Nehemiah CLARK. They had a daughter, Joyce, who died young. Since she was not mentioned in her father's 1795 will, she may have died by then, indicating she was one of the older children.
  • Thomas, b. c. 1770, m. c. 1797 Elizabeth LAWSON who died in 1830. They lived in Waterford, Ireland. He was given property in the 1795 will of his father. Four of his grandchildren, all children of his son James Lawson Sullivan, immigrated to the U.S., and first settled in the Chicago area. His granddaughter, Elizabeth Bull Sullivan, was the great grandmother of my correspondent, Jo. Elizabeth's FAG memorial is here: [165]
  • Frances, b. c. 1775, m. after Feb 1795 Richard GRAHAM, and lived in London. They had two children: Richard G. and George. She was called Frances Sullivan in the 1795 will of her father, and bequeathed property along with her brother Thomas.

Children assumed to be of third wife, Christiana, born in Waterford:

  • Christiana, b. c. 1783, was a minor when mentioned in her father's 1795 will. She may have come to North America with her younger brother, Arthur, in the very early 1800s.
  • Arthur Bull, b. 11 March 1786, d. Brooklyn, NY 3 Feb 1861, and m. (1) 24 Dec 1808 Mary DUNN; m. (2) New Brunswick, NJ 14 May 1814 Margaret DUNN, b. New Brunswick, NJ 28 Dec 1790, d. there 21 May 1852, the daughter of Nahum Dunn and Elizabeth Dunham. Arthur had arrived in America by 1804 when he was apprenticed as a harness maker and trimmer to Aaron Hapert of New Brunswick, New Jersey. He was a soldier during the War of 1812, and served as a private in Capt James Nelton's Artillery Battery in General Colfax's Brigade. He was stationed at "Pauler's Hook" according to New Jersey war records, but this is actually Paulus Hook, a Fort along the Hudson River that is now in Jersey City, NJ, across the river from Manhattan. On 13 May 1816 Arthur was baptized in the First Presbyterian Church of New Brunswick, and in 1827 he was elected as a trustee of that church. In 1830 Arthur was living in Franklin Twp, Somerset Co., NJ, and in 1840 in New Brunswick Twp, Somerset Co., NJ, per census indexes. In 1850 he was a grocer living in North Brunswick Twp, Middlesex Co., NJ with wife, aged 60, and a Cornelia Geards, 27, with four Geards children. In 1860 he was widowed and living in Brooklyn with his daughter and son-in-law, Margaret S. and Calvin M. Pickett with their two children and a boarder. He was buried in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn (Sect 74, Lot 7202), with his second wife. According to the family genealogy, she was originally buried in New Brunswick, and then her remains were moved to Green-Wood Cemetery, though the cemetery does not appear to have record of her re-interment. [166]

(4g) Edward Sullivan[edit]

Edward, b. Waterford, Ireland 1765, d. Manhattan, NY 5 Dec 1821, was the son of Thomas Sullivan and Jane Bull of Waterford. He and his wife, Ann Bull, eloped from Ireland to America in early 1794, and were married in New York City by the Reverend Mr. Smith on 20 April 1794. Both of them were called "late of the city of Waterford, Ireland" in the newspaper, New York Diary, three days later. Several years after Edward immigrated, his younger brother, Arthur Bull Sullivan, also came to America. Early in his career, Edward was a baker, and in 1797 he placed many ads in the Daily Advertiser of New York, NY, offering kegs of bread and crackers from his bakeries at 48 Frankfort Street and 93 James Street. He also advertised 300 acres of land in Vermont for sale. Sometime about 1798 he moved with his growing family to Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and then about 1804 to New Brunswick, NJ where he was involved in a Dry Goods partnership. The business was dissolved in 1815, when a notice appeared in the Times and New Brunswick General Advertiser on 15 June concerning "Sullivan & Bell Drygoods & Groceries at Market and Burnet Streets." While in New Brunswick, Edward became a Major in the Militia, and in the 1816 marriage notice of his daughter, Elinor, he was given that title. He was involved in another business venture in 1816, but this was short-lived, and he shortly thereafter returned to New York City, where he died. His obituary appears in the National Advocate (NY, NY), vol IX, issue 2564, p 2 (7 December 1821): "On Wednesday evening, Mr. Edward Sullivan, aged 66 years [sic; this should read 56]. His friends and acquaintance [sic], and those of his brother-in-law, Mr. Henry Eagle, are respectfully invited to attend this funeral this afternoon, at 3 o'clock, from his late residence, No 17 Bowery."

Henry Eagle, b. c. 1765, d. 1857, "late of Limerick [Ireland]" when he married on Sunday 10 Jan 1796 Christiana Bull, b. 1772, d. 2 April 1816 in her 44th year, the daughter of Jones Bull. Because Edward Sullivan called Henry Eagle his "brother-in-law", this strongly suggests that his wife, Chrisitana Bull, was a sister of Edward's wife, Ann Bull, and that Ann was therefore a daughter of Jones Bull. According to their great granddaughter, Nellie Dantzler, Edward and Ann were buried in the Trinity Churchyard in Manhattan, though no record of their burial there has been found. They had nine known children, with the first two born in New York, next three born in Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., NJ, and last four born in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ. They were: [167]

  • Eliza Bermis, b. 11 Mar 1795, m. New Brunswick 30 Aug 1813 Henry F. Bell. A Henry Bell, b. 1794, died in Jersey City, NJ on 14 Sep 1829, aged 35.
  • Christiana, b. 24 Feb 1797, d. New Brunswick, NJ 29 Aug 1812? (1872?)
  • Elinor Bull, b. 20 Jan 1799, d. New Brunswick, NJ 10 April 1853, m. New Brunswick 17 Feb 1816 David VAIL, b. 8 Sep 1796, d. New Brunswick, NJ 17 Jan 1842, the son of William Vail and Jemima Cole. David was a merchant, and was the Mayor of New Brunswick in 1840. He and Elinor had nine known children (first six from Sullivan genealogy; last three from 1850 census). Elinor and David share a tall monument in the Willow Grove Cemetery in New Brunswick. [168]
  • Edward, b. 24 Feb 1801, d. New Brunswick, NJ 17 Oct 1804. Edward is included on the family monument in the Van Liew Cemetery in New Brunswick. [169]
  • John Bull, b. 14 Mar 1803, m. Mary Ann COWENHOVEN (see below).
  • George Washington, b. 24 Jun 1805, d. New Brunswick 27 Aug 1806. George is included on the family monument in the Van Liew Cemetery, New Brunswick. [170]
  • Edward, b. 30 Nov 1807, d. New Brunswick, NJ 17 Dec 1838, unmarried. His inventory, dated 5 January 1839, had a value of $184, and was witnessed by his father [no! his father was long dead; probably his brother John] and his uncle, Arthur Bull Sullivan. Edward is included on the family monument in the Van Liew Cemetery, New Brunswick. [171]
  • Louisa Anne, b. 30 Apr 1810, d. 2 September 1811. Louisa is included on the family monument in the Van Liew Cemetery, New Brunswick, NJ. [172]
  • Anne Louisa, b. 16 Mar 1814, d. 17 May 1856, m. New Brunswick 9 Nov 1837 John T. DEMAREST, b. New Jersey 1813, d. New Brunswick, NJ 30 Jan 1896. It is possible that this is the John Terhune Demarest, son of Samuel J. Demarest, who was born 20 Feb 1813, and baptized in Schraalenburgh, Bergen Co., NJ on 14 March 1813. He was a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, and lived with this wife in Nyack and Middletown, New York. Following Anne's death, he married Jane E. _______, b. NY 1820. He is enumerated on the 1880 census with this wife in Shawangunk, Ulster Co., NY. Anne and John are thought to be buried in the Willow Grove Cemetery in New Brunswick, where Find-a-grave memorials have been created for them. [173]

(3g) John Bull Sullivan[edit]

John Bull Sullivan, b. Shrewsbury, NJ 14 March 1803, d. New Brunswick, NJ 9 May 1853, was the fifth of nine known children born to Edward Sullivan and Ann Bull who were immigrants from Ireland. When John was a young child, the family moved from Shrewsbury to New Brunswick, and he lived in the latter place the remainder of his life. He was married in New Brunswick on 23 April 1828 to Mary Ann COWENHOVEN, the daughter of James Connover/Cowenhoven and Mary Ninemaster. John and family appear on the 1850 census for New Brunswick, NJ. He was called a laborer, and the census mistakenly gives his birthplace as Ireland, and also understates his and his wife's ages by about ten years. John and his wife Mary were buried in the First Methodist Cemetery at the corner of Nielson Street and Tabernacle Way in downtown New Brunswick. He at one time had a grave stone, but the cemetery is now a vacant lot. It is not known whether their remains were removed to another cemetery. Children, all b. New Jersey, but specific locations generally not known: [174]

  • Mary Cowenhoven, b. 30 May 1829, d. New Brunswick 7 June 1898. She was aged 37, and living with her mother and brother Peter in New Brunswick in the 1870 census. A family record shows that she was married to Andrew Robertson, but they had no children. The Andrew ROBERTSON who died in Trenton, NJ 12 Aug 1893, aged 67, retired and married, may have been Mary's husband. Mary C. Robertson died in New Brunswick on 7 June 1898, aged 70. Her burial location has not been determined. [175]
  • Anna Louisa, b. Newark, NJ 15 Nov 1831, m. Charles G. Titus (see above).
  • James Cowenhoven., b. 17 Oct 1834, d. 21 June 1916, m. New Brunswick 14 Nov 1860 Susan Green Marsh, b. New Brunswick 11 march 1836, d. there 15 April 1913, the daughter of Samuel Marsh and Catherine Skillman. In 1870 he, aged 35, his wife Susan, aged 33, and daughter Nelly, aged 2, were living in a household of eleven people in New Brunswick, probably mostly boarders. During the 1870s he worked in the Middlesex County Clerk Surrogate's Office, and was also at times an alderman. He was later in the dry goods business, doing this until 1896 when elected to the position of Recorder for the city of New Brunswick. On 18 August 1896 James was given that title when a marriage announcement for his daughter Nellie appeared in the New Brunswick Daily Times. The wedding was to take place that evening at his home at 128 Neilson Street. He later worked in the real estate, fire insurance and coal businesses. James appears in the 1870 census in New Brunswick with wife and young daughter, and in the 1900 and 1910 censuses in New Brunswick, living with wife, daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and Susan's brother. In 1900 he had been without work for the previous 12 months, and in 1910 he was called a real estate partner. The family owned their home according to the 1910 census. James is very likely buried in the same plot as his wife in the Van Liew Cemetery. The plot contains 12 graves, but the cemetery has no record of who is buried in three of them. Since his wife Susan, his sister Victoria, and his daughter Nellie are all buried in this plot, it is almost inconceivable that he is not one of the three unknowns buried in this plot. James and Susan are both included on a family monument erected in Van Liew Cemetery in 2017. [176]
  • Agnes Cowenhoven, b. ca 1836, probably died at an early age, as she does not appear on the 1850 census with her parents. Agnes is included on the family monument erected in the Van Liew Cemetery, New Brunswick, in 2017. [177]
  • Edward Bull, b. New Brunswick 16 (or 13?) Nov 1839, d. Brooklyn, NY 13 Nov 1905, m. New Brunswick 19 July 1859 Mary Elizabeth Ouderkirk, b. Schenectady, NY 5 Feb 1840, d. Plainsboro, NJ 24 Jan 1944, just short of her 104th birthday, the daughter of Peter Ouderkirk and Gertrude Danbury. Edward and Mary appear as a very young couple with no other occupants in a household in New Brunswick in 1860. They are next found in 1900, with the intervening years not yet found. In 1900 they appear in Brooklyn, Ward 28 with three of their seven living children. Mary had a total of nine children per the 1900 census, but a record of only seven has been found. The following obituary was clipped from a Brooklyn newspaper: "Edward B. Sullivan, a retired contractor, of this borough, died yesterday of cerebral apoplexy, after eleven days illness. He was born in New Brunswick, N.J. November 16, 1839, and had for fifteen years lived in Brooklyn, where he became prominent in Republican politics, though never seeking office. He was of an old New Jersey family. His brother is ex-alderman J. C. Sullivan of New Brunswick, and another brother being Peter Stryker Sullivan of the same place. He was an exempt volunteer fireman of New Brunswick. He leaves a widow, three daughters and four sons. Two of the sons are James E. and William P., dentists of this borough." Edward is buried in Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, and Mary is buried in the Brainerd Cemetery, Cranbury, New Jersey. Niether of them has a surviving grave marker. [178]
  • Adelaide Victoria, b. 20 Aug 1843 (another record gives 3 Sep 1843), d. Highland Park, NJ 20 Feb 1932, m. William L. Polley, b. Brooklyn, NY 1844, d. Brooklyn 6 Dec 1895, the son of Arraburt Grahams Polley and Mary Frances Wright. In 1910 Victoria was living in Ward 7 of Brooklyn as a boarder with the Lewis family and several other boarders, and also with her daughter May, born about 1876. In 1921 her address was 976 Bedford Ave. in Brooklyn, but her daughter died that year, and she soon moved to New Brunswick, NJ, and the remains of her daughter were moved from Flushing, NY to New Brunswick. In 1930, at the age of 86, Victoria was living with her niece, Nellie L. Deinzer and family, in Highland Park, NJ. Adelaide is buried in the Van Liew Cemetery in New Brunswick, NJ and William is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. Neither of them has a surviving grave marker, but Adelaide was included on the family monument erected in the Van Liew Cemetery in 2017. [179]
  • Peter Stryker, b. New Brunswick, NJ 25 Dec 1845, d. Queens, NY 18 July 1908. He was aged 19 and fair complected when he enlisted at New York into the US Navy in May 1864, for service during the American Civil War. In 1870 and 1880 he was living with his mother in New Brunswick, and was working in a cotton mill in 1880. In 1900 he was living in Ward 3 of New Brunswick by himself, being called widowed, though a record of his wife's name has not yet been found. Peter was mentioned in the 1905 obituary of his brother, Edward B. Sullivan. Peter was the purchaser of a plot with four graves in the Evergreen Cemetery in New Brunswick. Since he was widowed in 1900, this is likely where he buried his wife. Peter is buried in Cypress Hills National Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY, with a veteran's gravestone. [180]

James Lawson Sullivan[edit]

James Lawson Sullivan, the son of Thomas Sullivan Jr. and Elizabeth Lawson, was b. Waterford, Ireland c. 1800 and m. Margaret KELLY. Children, b. Waterford, Ireland:

He was married in Chicago the following year, and in 1900 was living in Chicago with wife and two children. In 1910 his sons were on their own, and he lived in Chicago with his wife. She died in 1917, and in 1920 he lived in a home with six or eight others in Manhattan. Arthur and Elizabeth had two sons (twins?), Francis White Sullivan and Arthur Sullivan. Arthur and Elizabeth are buried in Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, IL. [184]

He married at the NYC DRC 24 Dec 1748 Jane BUSSY, daughter of James Bussey and Catherine Van Gelder, baptized at the NYC DRC 9 Dec 1724, d. in NYC 23 Feb 1808, aged 83.

(5g) Francis Cowenhoven, Jr.[edit]

Francis, the son of Francis Cowenhoven and Jane Bussy, was born in New Brunswick, NJ c. 1750, living in 1800, and married in NY 12 Oct 1772 Janitje Stryker, baptized at the DRC in New Brunswick, NJ 14 Sep 1755, died 10 June 1824, aged 69, the daughter of Jacobus Stryker and Sarah Metselaer. Francis and Jane were members of the New Brunswick Dutch Reformed Church in 1798, and Francis appears on a New Brunswick petition dated 7 Nov 1800. He and Jane are buried in the churchyard of the Dutch Reformed Church in New Brunswick, NJ, but do not have markers, though Jane apparently did at one time. Jane is buried in lot #170, and the records for lot #171 have been lost, but this is likely the burial place of Francis. Children: [187]

  • Jane, baptized NY 25 June 1773, m. NJ 31 Dec 1795 Garret NEVIUS, b. New Brunswick, NJ 14 April 1762, d. New Brunswick 25 Nov 1813, the son of William Nevius and Adriana Gerittsen Kroesen. Garret and Jane are buried in the yard of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, NJ, but no longer have standing markers. There is a dilemma, in that there is a probate record (inventory) for Garret Nevius of North Brunswick, NJ dated 1813, with Jane Nevius as co-administrator. This agrees with the death date above, found online. However, the church's records give a death year of 1849 and an age that is consistent with the birth year given here. One of the death dates is in error. A Find-a-grave memorial was created for Garret using the info from the church office. [188]
  • James, bapt. NYC 30 July 1775, died young
  • Jacobus, bapt 15 Nov 1778, assumed the name James, and used the surname of CONOVER.

  • Francis, bapt. 2 June 1786, died New Brunswick 20 Sep 1801, aged 15. He is buried in the yard of the First Reformed Church in New Brunswick, having had a tombstone at one time, but now gone. [189]
  • John, bapt 23 Nov 1788, m. 23 Feb 1812 Rachel COOK. A John M. Conover died in Middlesex Co., NJ 16 July 1854, aged 65, married. Another John Conover (1788-1849) is buried in the Brainard Cemetery in Cranbury, NJ, and there is a Rachel Conover buried there as well, but they are not buried in the same plot. [190]
  • William, bapt 25 Dep 1791, m. (as William Conover) NJ 19 Nov 1817 Elizabeth MYERS, b. 1795. William appears with wife and two children in the 1850 census in North Brunswick, NJ: William E. Conover, 58; Eliza, 55; Abraham, 37; Lydia A., 30. A William E. Conover, d. 1852, is buried in the Willow Grove Cemetery in New Brunswick, but only a part of the stone remains. [191]
  • Peter, bapt 9 Nov 1794, d. New Brunswick 11 June 1869, m. NJ 22 March 1815 Susan L. ROBINSON. Peter and Susan are buried in the Willow Grove Cemetery in New Brunswick, and both have markers, though they have been toppled. [192]

(4g) James Conover[edit]

James, the son of Francis Cowenhoven and Janitje Stryker, was born in New Brunswick, NJ 8 oct 1778, died there 12 Feb 1861. Some sources give his name as Jacobus, and in fact he was baptized under that name at the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, New Jersey, on 15 November 1778. James and several of his siblings adopted the surname of Conover. According to all sources seen by this memorialist, he was married to a woman older than he by about 12 years, whose name was Mary, or Polly, NINEMASTER. The couple had three known children, all born at the end of Mary's expected child-bearing years. James appears on the 1830 census in North Brunswick, NJ. He is aged 50-59, and the male aged 20-29 was his son James, and the female 60-69 was his wife. Not known are the identity of the female aged 50-59 and the female aged 15-19. James' tombstone in the Reformed Church Cemetery is broken and lies face down. It is next to the standing tombstone for his son, James. The children of James and Mary were: [193]

  • Francis, baptized New Brunswick 25 May 1806, died 1807 at the age of 9 months. He is buried in the yard of the First Reformed Church in New Brunswick, NJ. [194]
  • Mary Ann, born 7 October 1808, m. John Bull SULLIVAN of New Brunswick. Mary Ann is buried with her husband in the now defunct First Methodist Cemetery in New Brunswick. There are plans to erect a cenotaph for them in their family's plot in the Van Liew Cemetery. [195]
  • James Stryker, baptized in New Brunswick 11 February 1810 and died there 8 October 1849. He did not marry. James is buried in the yard of the First Reformed Church in New Brunswick. [196]

Jacobus was b. 24 Aug 1688 and m. 17 Dec 1710 Annetje Vanderbeeck. They settled on the Raritan in Somerset Co., NJ.

(6g) Jacobus Stryker[edit]

Jacobus Stryker was baptized at the New Brunswick, NJ Dutch Reformed Church 10 April 1725, died 5 January 1820, and married c. 1747 Sarah METSELAER, b. 11 Feb 1728, d. May 1799. The Stryker genealogy written in the 1880s claims that Jacobus was the son of Peter Stryker and Antje Deremer. I find this difficult to believe, because Peter's father, Jan Stryker, was born in 1684, Pieter in 1705, and Jacobus in 1725. It is HIGHLY unusual for a man who is aged 41 to have a grandchild. Possible, but improbable. An online account gives the parents of Jacobus as an earlier Jacobus, born about 1688. While this online account has inconsistencies, it appears more probable. Several descendants of Pieter Stryker and Annetje Barends left Flatlands, Long Island to settle in Somerset County, NJ, and Jacobus falls in this group, and is a descendant of Peter and Ann, one way or the other. Jacobus is buried in the yard of the Dutch Reformed Church in Belleville, NJ, while Sarah is buried in the yard of the Hillsborough Reformed Church in Millstone, Somerset Co., NJ. Children: [197] [198] [199]

With Elizabeth he had two additional children: Jane, who did not marry, and Archibald A., born 1768, who married Maria Bordine. The younger Archibald is buried with his wife in the yard of the First Reformed Church, New Brunswick, NJ.
