Hello All, I just came across a 1656 map of NJ that may be of interest to some of you. I scanned it and put it online at http://www.midatlanticarchives.com Alan RESEARCHING: Buckingham, Gilpin, Eastburn, Jeanes, Nowland, Wade, Creswell, Vansant and related families -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

What a fascinating map! Can anyone explain what Colonie Van de Heer Neder Horst is or means? Or is the word "Horst" part of it - it's in the same size type. Translations would be interesting.

"Colonie Van de Heer Nederhorst" could be translated as Lord Nederhorst's Colony. See, for example, "The History of Bogota [New Jersey]" at <http://www.bogota.nj.us/history/default.asp>. I found a mention of Heer Nederhorst in a book that is part of the Project Gutenberg -- a transcription of "The Representation of New Netherland, 1650," by Adriaen van der Donck, included in _Narratives of New Netherland, 1609-1664 (Original Narratives of Early American History)_ (NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1909), edited by J. Franklin Jameson. <http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02/nwnth10.txt> You can find a few other hits by googling "Heer Nerderhorst" or "Lord Nederhorst".
