Can Sks look up the following to see whose will it is? Abstracts of Wills Vol iv, 1744-1753 , page 468 , thanks Steve.

I would like to ask if someone with the "Pioneer Families of NJ" book would be so kind as to look up the surname ROCHELLE in that book. My ggrandmother was born in Sparta, NJ in 1840 and her name was Carrie Rochelle. Her father was Peter Rochelle and her mother was Susan Havens. Thank you very much.

Stickney's "Old Sussex Families of the Minisink Region" reprinted 1988 by Virginia Alleman Brown, has on the Swartwout family: Thomas, Anthony and Bernardus Swartwout joint owners with Messrs. Gumaer and Cuddeback of the "Peenpack" patent, came into the settlement a little later than their contemporaries. They located their parts of the purchase adjacent to the others in the present town of Deerpark, Orange county, N.Y., on or near a handsome knoll or hill contiguous to the spring brook and a spring of living water in the central part of the Peenpack Flats. Bernardus on the easterly brow of the hill, a few rods west of the spring. Thomas on the central part of the hill, and Anthony where the house of Cornelius VanImWegen stood. The most distant of all these family residences was not over thirty rods from the spring. The tracts of Thomas and Bernardus became vacated. The titles to their property became involved in the New Jersey dispute as to the boundary line between New York and that State, and some removed fearing trouble. Their tracts were afterward purchased by Peter Gumaer. Anthony Swartwout remained and in order to have assistance against the New Jersey claimants, induced Hermanus VanImWegen to take part of his land and reside there. He was a bold resolute man on whom much reliance was placed. Roeloff Swartwout, born in Amsterdam, Holland, in 1634, was the paternal ancestor of all Swartwouts in this country. He came to this country in 1655, and settled at Albany, where he married Aug. 13, 1657, Eva Alberts, daughter of Albert A. B. DeNoorman, of Fort Orange, She was a widow (of Anthony DeHooges) with five children. He, Roeloff, made a voyage to Hollad, returning in 1660. He then settled at Esopus, purchased a farm at Hurley and resided the balance of his life upon it. He was the first Sheriff of Esopus under the Charter granted by the States General in 1661, was a member of Gov. Leslie's Council in 1689, and was appointed Justice and Collector of Ulster County by commission of Gov. Leslie, Dec. 26, 1689. His first wife dying, he married Oct. 1691, in New York City, Francyntje Andries, widow of Abram Lubbertson. His will made in his eightieth year, in 1714, is recorded in Dutch language at Kingston. His children, all by his first wife, were: Hendrickje, married Lysbert Gardner. He was one of the Peenpack settlers. By his father's will, he and his brother, Bernardus, came into possession of his father's real estate near Hurley. Anthony died young. Anthony, baptised May 11, 1664, married Annetje Jacobus. He died at Hurley in 1700. His widow married Jan 19, 1701, Harmanus VanImWegen, who settled on the Peenpack tract. Cornelius, baptised March 13, 1667, married Hendrick Claas Schoonhoven, ancestor of many of the Schoonovers in the Delaware Valley. Rachel married Jacob Kip, of historic fame in the early New Netherlands government. Eva, born at Hurley, married Oct. 9, 1698, Jacob Dingman of Kinderhook. Barnardus baptised April 26, 1673, married March 19, 1700, Rachel Schepmoes, of Kingston. He sold his interest in the Peenpack patent in 1741, to Jacobus Swartwout, son of Anthony 2nd, who settled upon it. The children of Thomas were: Roeloff, baptised Feb. 21, 1683; Rosyna, baptised Jan. 24, 1686, died young; Jacobus, baptised April 17, 1692, married Oct. 5, 1714, Gieletjen Niekerk; Eva, baptised Nov. 16, 1694, married Feb. 6, 1717 Frederick Schoonmaker; Rudolph, baptised March 28, 1697; Jacntje, baptised Aug. 13, 1699, married March 11, 1725, Jan VanVliet, Jr.; Samuel baptised Jan. 22, 1702, married Esther (Elizabeth) Gumaer. The children of Anthony Swartwout were Roeloff, baptised June 9, 1695; Jacobus, baptised March 29, 1696, married May 30, 1721, Antjen Gumaer. They came to Peenpack and resided there, on the farm upon which Benjamin Swartwout now resided in Huguenot. In 1741, he purchased the lands of Anthony's son, Roeloff, Daniel Brodhead and Barnardus Swartwout of Dutchess Co., N.Y. He was a large, heavy strong portly man of a nobel and dignified appearance, very suitable for a military officer ... Anthony's children> Petrus, baptised April 14, 1723. Gerardus, baptised Aug 29, 1725. The report that he was killed during the French and Indian War would seem to be an error. He was at the capture of Fort Montgomery by the British Oct. 6, 1777. At that time, Capt. Cuddeback had been sent across the river to prevent the chains across the river from being cut. Shortly after his departure the enemy assaulted the fort and captured it. Two Swartwouts were there, Gerardus and Cornelius. They escaped during the surrender. Philip, baptised Jan. 28, 1728, married Antje Wynkoop. He was a Justice of the Peace and one of the Committee of Safety. Their children were: Jacobus, baptised Sept. 18, 1750; Cornelius, baptised June 24, 1752; Annetje, baptised June 16, 1754; Philip; Gerardus, baptised Aug. 26, 1759; Cornelius W., baptised March 20, 1763. His first wife dying he renarried Deborah Schoonover. By his last wife he had one child, Peter, who married Jan. 24, 1788, Jannetje Westfael. in 1779> The children of Peter and Jane (Westfall) were Simeon, Philip, Sally, James D., Samuel, David and Deborah. Of these Philip married Mrs. Esther Westbrook Westfall, and had six children: Peter P., Jane, Catherine, Henry B., Elizabeth, and Sarah. Peter P. married Hannah, daugh. of Benjamin Cuddeback of Port Jervis. He was a very prominent man in Deerpark. One of his daughters married D. S. DeWitt; one married H. J. Bidwell.

His *citizenship* as a citizen of New Jersey was restored to him in 1889 per a Trenton Newspaper announcement. He lived in Sussex County and was home with his wife for the Census of 1880. What did he do wrong that would cause him to have the state of New Jersey revoke his citizenship? A very kind person in New Jersey (I live in Arizona) looked into some legislative information regarding anything about Cornelius Hamler and the year he was released from the withdrawal of his state citizenship. We are still in a qu andary about how this was connected with my Grandfather exactly. He wrote: "The text of the law printed in The Trenton Times is the same as the text printed in the bound volume of the Laws of 1889. In that book, it is printed in a section labelled 'Private Laws': it was apparently the only private law passed that session. (A private law is a law for the benefit of a particular person.) The only additional information in the bound volume is a printed notation in the margin that says: 'Restoration of Citizenship.' "Here's where it gets intriguing. According to the index, Gov. Robert Green, by proclamation, declared the private law void on July 16, 1889. His proclamation states that law 'has become inoperative and void for the reason that the parties interested therein have failed to pay the sum assessed thereon...' and goes on to cite laws from 1858 and 1859... "These days, if someone was going to be done just for one person, it would more likely be done by gubernatorial pardon than by legislative action. That's how John Gregorio got the right to run for office again after he was convicted -- Gov. Tom Kean issued him a pardon. "At one time, however, the Legislature did a lot of things that are now handled by the Governor, state agencies or the courts. In the 1700s, you went to the Legislature if you wanted a divorce. The April 1889 law might have been to restore Hamler's right to vote or hold office, although I can't say for sure. It's entirely possible he lost those rights for some reason other than a criminal conviction (like bankruptcy perhaps); at one time you needed to own land to vote. Apparently, the subsequent proclamation voiding the law was because someone failed to pay some sort of fee designed to pump money into the treasury. The modern day equivalent might be losing your driving license for having unpaid parking tickets." Does anyone have expertise in this area? Does anyone have access to Sussex County newspapers in which it would be easy to look up "Cornelius Hamler" (or Cornelius Homler or Humler) between 1880 and 1889? Am open to any ideas! Many thanks!

would you be able to look up Theodore Marcus Roe ? Birth date, place, marriage, spouse. Both my parents are dead so I am a little stymied . I know the Roe Family goes back well into the 1700's. Most of them lived in and around Sussex, Branchville, and Sussex County. Theodore was also know as Dorie. He was a assemblymen or representative of his county to Trenton. His Wife was Margrite (don't think I have spelled that right) Dennis. They adopted a small boy, my father, about 1918-1920. His name was Arthur Howell and they changed it to Edward Howell Roe. Any info would be appreciated. Where do I look now ? Cathe [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>

DeNoorman, of Fort Orange, She was a widow (of Anthony DeHooges) with five children. He, Roeloff, made a voyage to Hollad, returning in 1660. He then settled at Esopus, purchased a farm at Hurley and resided the balance of his life upon it. He was the first Sheriff of Esopus under the Charter granted by the States General in 1661, was a member of Gov. Leslie's Council in 1689, and was appointed Justice and Collector of Ulster County by commission of Gov. Leslie, Dec. 26, 1689. His first wife dying, he married Oct. 1691, in New York City, Francyntje Andries, widow of Abram Lubbertson. His will made in his eightieth year, in 1714, is recorded in Dutch language at Kingston. His children, all by his first wife, were: Hendrickje, married Lysbert Gardner. He was one of the Peenpack settlers. By his father's will, he and his brother, Bernardus, came into possession of his father's real estate near Hurley. Anthony died young. Anthony, baptised May 11, 1664, married Annetje Jacobus. He died at Hurley in 1700. His widow married Jan 19, 1701, Harmanus VanImWegen, who settled on the Peenpack tract. Cornelius, baptised March 13, 1667, married Hendrick Claas Schoonhoven, ancestor of many of the Schoonovers in the Delaware Valley. Rachel married Jacob Kip, of historic fame in the early New Netherlands government. Eva, born at Hurley, married Oct. 9, 1698, Jacob Dingman of Kinderhook. Barnardus baptised April 26, 1673, married March 19, 1700, Rachel Schepmoes, of Kingston. He sold his interest in the Peenpack patent in 1741, to Jacobus Swartwout, son of Anthony 2nd, who settled upon it.

They came to Peenpack and resided there, on the farm upon which Benjamin Swartwout now resided in Huguenot. In 1741, he purchased the lands of Anthony's son, Roeloff, Daniel Brodhead and Barnardus Swartwout of Dutchess Co., N.Y. He was a large, heavy strong portly man of a nobel and dignified appearance, very suitable for a military officer ... <then two more paragraphs describing Major Swartwout, now continuing with Anthony's children> Petrus, baptised April 14, 1723. Gerardus, baptised Aug 29, 1725. The report that he was killed during the French and Indian War would seem to be an error. He was at the capture of Fort Montgomery by the British Oct. 6, 1777. At that time, Capt. Cuddeback had been sent across the river to prevent the chains across the river from being cut. Shortly after his departure the enemy assaulted the fort and captured it. Two Swartwouts were there, Gerardus and Cornelius. They escaped during the surrender. Philip, baptised Jan. 28, 1728, married Antje Wynkoop. He was a Justice of the Peace and one of the Committee of Safety. Their children were: Jacobus, baptised Sept. 18, 1750; Cornelius, baptised June 24, 1752; Annetje, baptised June 16, 1754; Philip; Gerardus, baptised Aug. 26, 1759; Cornelius W., baptised March 20, 1763. His first wife dying he renarried Deborah Schoonover. By his last wife he had one child, Peter, who married Jan. 24, 1788, Jannetje Westfael. <The writeup continues with a description of the Indian invasion of Peenpack in 1779> The children of Peter and Jane (Westfall) were Simeon, Philip, Sally, James D., Samuel, David and Deborah. Of these Philip married Mrs. Esther Westbrook Westfall, and had six children: Peter P., Jane, Catherine, Henry B., Elizabeth, and Sarah. Peter P. married Hannah, daugh. of Benjamin Cuddeback of Port Jervis. He was a very prominent man in Deerpark. One of his daughters married D. S. DeWitt; one married H. J. Bidwell.

Does anyone have a copy of this book? "Pioneer Families of Northwestern New Jersey" by William C. Armstrong (1979, Hunterdon House). If so, would you check the index, please, for the surname SWARTWOUT or SWARTWOOD. Many thanks, Helen Graves

Hello Listers. I am not a Van Etten but rather a Van Natta. I am told all these different spellings all come from the Van Ettens in Kingston in 1600's. Point is while searching for the connection I have gathered tons of facts about the Van Ettens and their migration to the town of Van Etten, Van Ettenville etc. I read eagerly al your postings, better than a newspaper. I was very interested in the recent postings about bridges and river crossings. No one mentioned Martin's creek which was ferry crossing between NJ and Pa. It was operated for a time by S B Van Natta, I believe previous owner was his wife's family Snyder. Ruth Bauer

Bob Do you have know a reason for this? It was rough times in these area during settlement when the borders were being disputed. My husband had an ancestor killed in the Indian massacre in northern PA, then the husband moved to the Finger Lakes area. One year he had a good harvest and the NY State militia came and burned it. He committed suicide as a results. My Hyatt family apparently came out of Sussex County, NJ and Orange County NY which was during the time of another disputed boundary to the Finder Lake area.
