David, This may be worth little as I seem to have lost the link to the source and can not seem to relocate it at the moment. On the other hand, perhaps someone on the list may recognize it and thus help us both out.... I have your James Van Nuis as being the same individual as the fellow called Jacobus Van Nuy(e)s in the New Brunswick DRC records. For his first wife, the only name that I have at this time is Antje. They baptized several children who are not named in the will. "New Brunswick First Reformed Church Baptisms," Proceedings New Jersey Historical Society (New Series) 1748. Oct. 30. Van Nuise, Jacobus and Antje--Arejantie [11:3:414] 1751. Dec. 22. V. Nuys, Jacobus and Anthe--Elizabeth [11:3:417] 1754. June 30. V. Nuis, Jacobus and Antie--Johannes [11:4:553] 1757. July 10. Van Nuis, Jacobus and Antie--Jacobus [11:4:555] 1759. Sept. 17. Van Nuis, Jacobus and Antje--Elisabeth [11:4:560] 1763. July 3. Van Nuis, Jacobus and Antie--Willem Witnesses: Wm. V. Duersen and Elisabeth Duersen [12:1:82] 1767. Aug. 30 Van Nuis, Jacobus and Antje--Antje [12:2:228] Jacobus/James was the son of Johannis (John) Van Nuys and Ariaentje Wyckoff. This identification is based on the following document for which I can't find the source: (p. 634) Jacoubs Van Nuys to Hendrick Van Duerson 23 February 1751--Jacobus Van Nuys and Arentje Van Nuys Widow and Garret Stoothoff Surving Executors of the ... Will... of John Van Nuys Deceased the said Jacobus Van Nuys being the only Son & Heir of the sd. John Van nuys deceased...(sold to)... Hendrick Van Duerson... City of New Brunswick... Now this Indenture...(for 310 pounds)... All that ...Lot of land... in the City of New Brunswick... (adjoining land owners or names--Burnet Street, lands of the heirs of Jacob Frelinghuysen Deaceased, Benjamin Rumney ...) (Signed James Van Nuys, Garret Stoothoff, Antantje Vannuis made her mark when she signed). (13 Jan 1793--James Van Nuis acknowledged the above deed in Court) This acknowledgment would have been just shorly before he died, if I'm correct. Renee L.
