The library has 3 boxes of documents: Scope and Content Note: This collection contains papers of several Greene County residents, including Abraham Van Vechten (1762-1837), Jacob Van Orden (1788-1833), and Jacob J. Ten Broeck (1773-1833), who were connected through both family relationships and business interests. It is not known when or by whom these papers were brought together. However, the leading candidates would seem to be Jacob Van Orden's son, William H. (1816-1894), and William's son, Philip V. (born 1841), who are represented in the collection with some fairly late documents. Despite the fact that these papers were preserved separately from other collections of Van Vechten and Van Orden papers and came to the New York State Library from a source different from the others, they should not be considered as independent of them. The principal divisions of this collection are as follows: Van Vechten Papers. There are two groups of these. The larger one comes from Abraham Van Vechten and represents his varied career as lawyer, State Attorney General, landowner and storekeeper. It includes papers relating to his sons, to his brother and business partner, Teunis T. (1749-1817), to his father Teunis (1707-1785), and to Teunis's uncle, Samuel (1673-1741). Of particular interest are the Mohawk Valley land dealings of the family and the rather poignant correspondence between Abraham and his son-in-law Walter Van Veghten (1779-1860) concerning Walter's business failures and marital problems. The smaller second group of papers is a miscellaneous lot which concerns the family of Abraham's brother, Samuel, especially his sons, John (1785-1879) and Peter (1794-1854), and John's son, Samuel J. (1813-1852). Van Orden Papers. Included are papers of Jacob Van Orden and his great-grandfather, William (ca. 1695-1765), mostly concerning the family's holdings in the Loveridge Patent south of Catskill. William's wife was Temperance Loveridge (ca. 1701-1774), who bequeathed her inheritance to her children and grandchildren (among whom were the frequently mentioned DeMonts). Ten Broeck Papers. These concern several properties: The Wessel Ten Broeck Patent near Catskill, a portion of which was inherited by Jacob J. Ten Broeck. The East Camp Patent near Germantown, several lots of which were bought up by speculators and eventually acquired by Mrs. Abraham (Maria) Delamatter, cousin of Jacob J. Ten Broeck and stepmother of his wife Catharine. Various properties, chiefly in Albany, acquired by John H. Roseboom (1726-ca.1788) from several relatives and bequeathed to his sister, Gerritje (born 1738), mother of Jacob J. Ten Broeck. Papers whose provenance is uncertain are arranged at the end of the collection. For instance, three Schuyler documents are there since they may relate to either Abraham Van Vechten or Jacob Van Orden, both of whom married Schuylers. Some papers of Nancy McGregor are also there, although it should be noted that in her will filed at the Greene County Court House she appointed "my friend Philip V. Van Orden" as executor. Information concerning familial relationships has been added to the guide in order to provide insight into some of the transactions. The principal sources consulted were The Van Vechten Genealogy, by James Brown Van Vechten (Detroit, 1954); my article "One Branch of the Van Order/Van Orden Family of Catskill" in the January 1978 issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record; The Ten Broeck Genealogy, compiled by Emma T.B. Runk (New York, 1897), and the guides to the library's other collections of Van Vechten and Van Orden papers. Information concerning other families represented in the collection was taken from numerous sources in the library's genealogy and local history collections. The map and land patent holdings of the State Library and the State Archives have been consulted, as well as land and probate records at the Greene County Court House. The part that mentions a Nicholas Tremper is described as follows: The reference to a Nicholas Tremper is in Part 2 Section 3 The Van Orden Family starting with Papers relating to the Lane family, descendants of William Loveridge, concerning land in the Loveridge Patent Lane, Aurie.
