Part 3 Extract from a letter from my father, relative to his services in the Continental War: "Grandfather built the vessels in Gloucester county near the head of navigation of Mulcia, at a place known as the forks. After the war was over, he moved to Bass River, now called New Gretna, in Burlington county, about six miles from Tuckerton, where he continued to build vessels until he retired from business' and he and grandmother lived with father who moved from Burlington county to Gloucester county, where a few years later he died at the age of ninety-four. In building those vessels grandfather made (as it turned out) a great sacrifice, as he received pay in continental money, which after the war became worthless. Grandfather was loyal and patriotic, as I remember of hearing grandmother speak of the great abhorrence he had of the Tories of that time, "(Some of that old continental money is in the hands of the family yet, and I think my son Grant has a bill or two of it in his cabinet of relics)." (Note by Grant VAN SANT: "I still have one of these same Bills). It is fortunate that the cause of the Continentals succeeded. Had it failed or had he been captured, he might have been hanged as a pirate, As it is, we are all proud to know that we descended from a patriot, who was such a help in our war for Independence, After all, it does not make so much difference who our ancestors were, The main thing is to see that our own names are worthy of those who are to follow us, More About GARRET VAN ZANDT/SANDT and LYSBETH GERRITZ: Marriage: about 1668, New Utrecht, Long Island, New York Children of GARRET VAN ZANDT/SANDT and LYSBETH GERRITZ are: 2. i.
