Google Search Not Working

On a Technical Note Regarding Google Search

I recently found out that Google search is not working on my site, possibly for some time now. Searching on Bing works fine, so for the time being, use Bing.

Google is giving some indication of what the problem is, but the solutions I have found are not resolving the problem. One of the solutions is to change how links between text and the related endnotes work. That will enhance the usefulness of the endnotes, but I have about 5,000 to change, and that will take some time.

However, that does not appear to be the only problem, and I know most of you use Google to search. When I am able to resolve the issue, I will make another post letting you know Google search is working again.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mary Vanderveer Dorland, Rumors of Her Demise

Mary Vanderveer Dorland, Rumors of Her Demise

Mary² Vanderveer (Cornelius Jansen¹), wife of Jan³ Dorland (Jan², Gerrit¹), born in 1682,[a] has long been thought to have died about 1713,[1] before her husband. However, she survived her husband, remarried and had several more children.

There are three records that show Jan Dorland predeceased his wife. The first is a list of the residents of Brooklyn, NY in 1713.[2] The entry for Mary Vanderveer, written in Dutch, reads “d: wedúwe Jan dorlant Junr”. Translated to English, it reads, “The widow of Jan Dorlant, Jr.” Barbara Barth and others apparently have taken this to read, “Widower, Jan Dorlant, Jr.”, but there appears to be no reason to assume the entry was recorded or transcribed incorrectly. There is another entry using the same phrase, “the widow of“, regarding Abraham Sleght. Abraham was deceased by 1713 when his wife was named as Jannetje Sleght, widow and relict of Abraham Sleght of Brooklyn, in an indenture dated in 1713.[3] The second record regarding the death of Jan Dorland is an indenture dated in 1719 involving land bordering land of the widow of Jan Dorland.[4] Jan Gerritse Dorland was still living in 1723,[5] so this reference could not be to him. Comparing the descriptions, this land is almost certainly the land John Dorland, Jr. purchased on 20 Sep 1707. The final record is from the records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush, which shows Mary Dorland paying for the use of the shroud on 12/30/1711,[6] presumably for her husband.

Assuming Jan died by 1713, the will of Jan Dorland dated in 1754[7] cannot be his, but rather the will of his son (hereafter referred to as Jan, Jr.) who had been assumed to have died unmarried.[8] Several things are required based on the will for this to be the case:

1) Jan, Jr. must have married Aeltje Van Liew;

2) he must have had a youngest sister named Ann;

3) he must have had two other sisters;

4) his mother, Mary Vanderveer, must have remarried;

5) he must have had a half-sister named Geertje; and

6) he must have had three brothers. Though not specified, they were probably half-brothers, as the will divides the remainder of his estate into two equal parts, one half shared equally by his two whole sisters, the other half shared equally by “My Three Brothers and One Sister Namely Gertje”, whom he had already referred to as his half-sister.

A review of the subsequent lives of Jan Dorland, Jr. and Mary Vanderveer bears these out.

Without identifying him as such, Barbara A. Barth gives us much of the information regarding Mary Vanderveer’s second husband, Abraham Lott, and their family.[9] Abraham Lott married first Geertje Dorland, daughter of Jan Gerrits Dorland and Annetje Remsen. Geertje died sometime after the baptism of her last known child, Isaac, on 27 Oct 1704.[10] Abraham supposedly married second a woman named Sarah, by whom he had a son named Jacob who was baptized on 21 Jun 1716.[11] Abraham’s son, Peter, was living in Brooklyn by 23 Mar 1716,[12] probably assisting his younger stepbrother, Jan Dorland Jr. (15 at the time), manage the farm which Jan's mother still owned there. Peter was a resident of Brooklyn when he married Femmetje Remsen on 13 Nov 1719.[13] Peter eventually moved to New York City where he began his family.[14] Abraham married, supposedly third, Mary Vanderveer, before 21 Sep 1718, when their son, Hendrick, was baptized.[15]

Aeltje Van Liew, wife of Jan Dorland, Jr., was baptized on 27 Oct 1704.[16] She was just a few years younger than Jan Dorland, Jr., as opposed to being about 25 years younger than Jan Dorland, Sr., previously thought to be her husband. She probably married Jan Dorland, Jr. shortly before they served as witnesses for Aeltje’s nephew, Hendrick, on 11 Feb 1722.[17]

Jan Dorland Jr.’s youngest sister was named Ann, and he had two other whole sisters, named Mary and Catherine,[18] corresponding to those named in the will, all children of Mary Vanderveer and Jan Dorland, Sr. Abraham and Mary Lott had a daughter named Geertje,[19] named as the half-sister in Jan’s will. Abraham and Mary had two known sons, Hendrick and Rem,[20] included in Abraham’s will,[21] two of the three brothers mentioned in Jan’s will. Abraham and Mary may have had another son who died between the time of Jan Dorland Jr.’s will and Abraham Lott’s will. However, it is likely that Jacob, supposedly son of Sarah, was in fact the son of Mary as well, based on five things.

1) The second witness for Jacob’s baptism,[22] Mary Dorland, was probably an undocumented daughter of Jan Gerrits Dorland (see discussion below), thus the sister-in-law of Mary Vanderveer. The first witness was Douwe Van Ditmars, brother-in-law of Abraham Lott.

2) Jacob himself had children named Abraham and Mary,[23] but no daughter named Sarah, suggesting his mother was named Mary, not Sarah.

3) Peter, son of Abraham Lott and Geertje Dorland, was already living in Brooklyn in March of 1716,[24] probably with his stepbrother, Jan Dorland, on the Dorland property (Abraham had no other known connections to Brooklyn at the time) when Abraham’s son, Jacob, was baptized in June of 1716, suggesting a pre-existing relationship between the Lott and Vanderveer / Dorland families.

4) There is only just over two years between the baptisms of Jacob and Hendrick, a relatively short time for Sarah to have died, Abraham to have remarried, and Mary to have had her child by Abraham baptized (note there were 12 years between the baptisms of Isaac and Jacob). On the other hand, two years is about the typical space between children for women at that time.

5) Jacob was probably named after Mary’s sister, Jacoba,[25] just as Abraham and Mary’s son, Hendrick, was probably named after Mary’s sister, Hendrickje.[26]

The baptismal records of the children of Abraham and Mary show an ongoing relationship with the Dorland family. As noted above, Mary Dorland, probably her sister-in-law, was a witness for Jacob. Their last child, Rem, was probably named after Rem Dorland, Mary’s brother-in-law. The witnesses at Rem’s baptism were Christian Lupardus, Rem Dorland’s son-in-law, and either Mary’s daughter, Annetje Dorland (by her first husband, Jan Dorland), or Rem’s mother, Annetje Snedeker Dorland, or possibly Rem’s daughter, Annetje Dorland, wife of Christian Lupardus.[27]

Another indication of Mary’s maiden name was Vanderveer is a power of attorney witnessed by an Abraham Lott in 1732[28] for Mary’s nephews and nieces, children of her brother, Jan Vanderveer. Mary’s daughter, Mary, had grown up with that family.[29] There was another Abraham Lott living in Flatbush at this time, but it is unlikely he was the witness. This Vanderveer family was of Brooklyn, but had since dispersed to other parts of Kings County and Monmouth, NJ. Unlike today when a witness can rely on some form of identification, witnesses then needed to be able to affirm that they personally knew the person who signed was who they said they were. As their maternal uncle-in-law, this Abraham Lott was in a much better position to be the witness in this case.

Although their relationship is not stated in his will, two of the executors of John's will, Leffert Lefferts and Isaac Lott, were probably close relatives. Though John lived in Somerset, NJ, they were both of Long Island, NY. Leffert Lefferts was the husband of John's sister, Catherine, while Isaac Lott was the son of John's stepfather, Abraham Lott.

Finally, John's sister, Catherine, married (2) Peter Luyster on 15 Jun 1758 (Genealogy of the Lefferts Family, Teunis Bergen, p. 38). However, in the baptismal records of five of Peter's grandchildren and one of her grandchildren, Leffert Lefferts, from 1758-1763 at the Reformed Dutch Church of Oyster Bay, NY, where he was one of the witnesses, the other witness was Catherine Lott. Presumably, she was going by her stepfather's surname.

This understanding of the family has other implications. Jan Gerrits Dorland was presumed to have had a previous marriage and a daughter named Geertje by that marriage.[30] Both are no longer supported by any evidence. Jan Gerrits Dorland was thought to have had a youngest daughter named Annetje, but the will was the only certain reference to her. Other instances of her name in church records can be attributed to Annetje Snedeker, wife of Rem Jans Dorland, who was usually more closely related to the individuals in the baptismal records anyway.

A sidelight is the probable identification of Mary, wife of Gerrit³ Dorland (Lambert², Jan¹), as an undocumented daughter of Jan³Dorland (Gerrit², Jan¹) and Annetje Remsen, as referred to above. This identification is based on her name given as Mary Dorland in the baptism of her daughter, Harmtje, the witnesses at baptisms of her children, the baptisms for which she served as a witness, and the naming of their children.

1) Baptismal records of the Reformed Dutch Churches typically used women's maiden names, rather than their married names. At times the married name was used, but typically it was consistently one way or the other over a period of time, possibly depending on who made the record. The baptismal records at Brooklyn in 1695, when Mary's first daughter, Harmtje, was baptized, consistently used the mother's maiden name, in this case, Dorland.

2) Naming of their children[31] after immediate family members:[32]
Harmtje, after her paternal grandmother, Hermina Pieters

Jannetje, after her maternal aunt, Jannetje Dorland
Jan, after his maternal grandfather, Jan Dorland
Annetje, after her maternal grandmother, Annetje Remsen
Lambert, after his paternal grandfather, Lambert Dorland
Gerrit, after his father
Abraham, after his maternal uncle, Abraham Dorland
Lena, after her paternal aunt, Magdalena Dorland

3) The probable identity of various baptismal witnesses:

a) For Harmtje:[33] Bennetje Dorland, paternal aunt; Rem Dorland, maternal uncle. As a paternal relative, he would have been a second cousin once removed at best, a distant, unproven relationship, especially for their eldest child.

b) For Annetje:[34] Lena, paternal aunt; Jan Dorland, probably the maternal grandfather. The child Annetje was named after Jan’s wife, her maternal grandmother, Annetje Remsen.

c) For Lena:[35] Harmtje Dorland, paternal grandmother; Rijk Hendrickse, maternal uncle, husband of Jannetje Dorland, maternal aunt. Ryck Hendricks was also a witness for his wife’s niece, Geertje, daughter of Rem Dorland and Annetje Snedeker,[36] and a witness with his wife for her niece Jannetje, daughter of Jacob Ryersen and Styntje Dorland.[37]

d) For Jacob Lott:[38] son of Abraham and Sarah Lott, 2 May 1716 at DRC of Jamaica: Douwe Van Ditmarse, paternal uncle, husband of Catherine Lott; maternal aunt; Mary Dorland, sister of Abraham's first wife, Geertje Jans Dorland and Mary Vanderveer’s sister-in-law.

e) For Rem Lott:[39] as noted above, Christian Lupardus, Mary’s sister-in-law’s husband; and Annetje Dorland, either Mary’s daughter, Annetje, her mother-in-law, Annetje Snedeker, or her sister-in-law, Annetje Dorland.

Notice in the baptisms with more than one witness, one is from the father’s side and one from the mother’s side.

Descendants of Peter Staats and Lummetje Veghte

Descendants of Peter Staats and Lummetje Veghte

This post is a significant expansion of the earlier post, “The Staats Families of the Princeton, NJ Area.” It examines the descendants of Peter Staats and his wife, Lummetje Veghte, with a focus on their son, Hendrick. The descendants of their son John4 were well covered by Lewis D. Cook in “The Family of John Staats of Hillsborough Twp., Somerset County, New Jersey,” [1] so any significant changes to that information will be noted. Facts about John’s grandson, John R6, son of Reynier5, have been added, as well as other details.

As there appears to still be some unclarity on Peter’s father, either Peter3 (Peter Jansen2, Jan1) Staats, or Jan Jansen2 (Jan1) Staats),[2] some additional information is included here regarding him. A convincing argument was made by Margery Huston Freas[3] that Peter3 (Peter Jansen2, Jan1) Staats could not have been the father of the Peter who married Lummetje. However, she did not know that Jan Jansen2 (Jan1) Staats’ son Peter was documented, mentioned in a deed executed by Peter Jansen2 (Jan1) Staats on 30 Nov 1710 as being the eldest son and heir of his deceased brother, Jan Jansen Staats.[4] Marriage banns were registered for Peter Staats, young man, i.e., not previously married, and Lummetje Vegte on 29 Aug 1712, both born and living in Brooklyn (the family of Peter3 (Peter Jansen2, Jan1) Staats was living in Staten Island about 1706 and there is no indication they returned to Brooklyn).[5] Though no baptismal record for him has been found, a birth year of about 1690 is consistent with a marriage at age 22. Their son, Peter4, was baptized on 21 May 1721.[6] Paulus Vander Voort and Neeltje, his wife, were the witnesses, Neeltje being the child’s paternal aunt.[7] The family is listed in the 1731 census of Brooklyn, NY with 4 males over 10, 3 females over 10, and 3 females under 10.[8] Though the birth order of their children is uncertain, it appears that their eldest children, John, Hendrick, Gerritje, and Annetje, were all named after their paternal and maternal grandparents, while Peter was named after his father, following the normal Dutch naming patterns. The 1731 census suggests there were two other daughters whose names are unknown, but see below.

Gesie3 Staats (Peter2, Jan1) was not the child baptized 18 Dec 1661 at the Reformed Dutch Church of Brooklyn.[9] The child’s name was Elsje, the daughter Cook assumed was born in 165_. Gesie4 Staats (Peter3, Peter2, Jan1) was the Grace Staats listed in the 1706 census of Staten Island. She was the daughter of Peter Staats and Elizabeth Aertsen, married Jacob Strickler, and they were the baptismal witnesses for her nephew, Johannes, son of Jan Lues and Sue Staets, on 6 Sep 1741, and her nephew, Daniel, son of Abraham States and Elizabeth Sheldon, on 30 Jun 1745.[10]

Elsje3 Staats (Peter2, Jan1) (as Elsje Pieters) married Sander Egberts on 02 Apr 1682 at the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush, NY.[11] They were the parents of at least two children: Annetje, bap. 27 May 1683, with the maternal grandmother serving as a witness;[12] and Harmpje, bap. Jun 1693,[13] named after her paternal grandmother.

The parents of Magdalena, wife of Cornelius Wyckoff, were Jacob Duryea and Catherine Polhemus, not Joost Duryea and Magdalena Verschuer.[14] The will Lewis cites is for Jacob Duryee, husband of Catherine Polhemus. According to a bible record at the Genealogical Society of New Jersey, Magdalena was born in 1717 and died in 1803.[15]

Cook was somewhat tenuous about Hendrick, husband of Machteltie Van Duyn, being the son of Peter Staats and Lummetje Veghte. However, he did not note that they were the baptismal sponsors for Hendrick’s eldest son, Peter, in 1739, [16] who was named after his paternal grandfather. Their second son, Cornelius, was named after his maternal grandfather, and Hendrick’s brother, John, and his wife, Femmetje Brokaw, served as the baptismal witnessesin 1745. [17]

Peter and Lummetje may have had a son named Reynier who died young or was born after the 1731 census, named after his maternal uncle Reynier Veghte, as they had two grandsons named Reynier: Reynier, son of John Staats and Femmetje Brokaw, baptized 04 Apr 1747; [18] and Reynier, son of Hendrick Staats and Macheltje Van Duyn, see below.

Descendants of Peter Staats

Generation No. 1

1. PETER3 STAATS (JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1), son of Jan Jansen Staats and Annetje Pieters Praa, was born circa 1690 in NY, and died aft. 1738. He married LUMMETJE VEGHTE 29 Aug 1712 (banns) in the Reformed Dutch Church (RDC) of Flatbush, Kings Co., NY, daughter of HENDRICK VEGHTE and GERRITJE WIZZELPENNING. She was bap. 23 Apr 1693 at Brooklyn, NY.

Peter was of Brooklyn, NY when he purchased land on 11 Sep 1738 from Cornelia Beekman Van Dam (GMNJ 33:26).

One of the daughters appears to be Margaret Staats who married Thomas Ring by license dated 5 Aug 1741, both of Somerset Co., NJ. [19]

The other daughter may be Jannetje who married Jacob Buys (bap. 8 May 1723), [20] nephew of the Jacob Buys who owned land bordering Hendrick Staats). [21] They had children named after their paternal grandparents and after their presumed maternal grandparents, and then after themselves, following the normal Dutch naming conventions.

Richard Cook suggested they may have had a daughter, Mary Margaret Staat, who married Johann Adam Schmidt and had a daughter, Catherine, baptized at Staten Island, but the family had no known connections to Staten Island and have not been able to confirm her parentage. [22]

Children of PETER STAATS and LUMMETJE VEGHTE are:

2. i. JOHN4 STAATS, b. circa 1713, NY; d. bef. 27 Dec 1781, Hillsborough, Somerset, NJ.

3. ii. HENDRICK STAATS, b. circa 1715, NY; d. aft. 1768.

6. v. PETER STAATS, bap. 21 Apr 1721, near New Utrecht, NY; d. bef. 22 Sep 1761, Brooklyn, NY.

vi. DAUGHTER STAATS, b. circa 1723, NY. She is probably the Margaret Staats who married Thomas Ring by license dated 5 Aug 1741, both of Somerset Co., NJ. Thomas Ringg was a freeholder in the Western Precinct of Somerset Co., NJ in 1753. No further trace.

vii. DAUGHTER STAATS, b. circa 1729, NY. She may be Jannetje (maiden name unknown), wife of Jacob Buys, son of Joris Buys and Seytje Smock. They had children named after the paternal grandparents, their presumed maternal grandparents, and themselves.

Generation No. 2

2. JOHN4 STAATS (PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was born circa 1713 in NY, and died bef. 27 Dec 1781 in Hillsborough, Somerset, NJ. He married (1) FEMMETJE BROKAW, daughter of JOHN B ROKAW and SARAH VAN MIDDLESWART. She was bap. 03 Aug 1707 at Raritan, NJ, and died bet. 1756 - 1762. He married (2) MAGDALENA DURYEA bet. 1756 - 1757, daughter of JACOB DURYEA and CATHERINE POLHEMUS. She was born circa 1716 in NY, and died 09 Jan 1803.

Jan and Femmetje were witnesses for the baptism of Cornelius, son of Hendrick Staats. [23] Hendrick Vroom [Jan’s brother-in-law] and Maria Brokaw [Femmetje’s sister] were witnesses for the baptism of their son Reynier. [24]

Jan and Femmetje were witnesses for the baptism of Femmetje, daughter of Benjamin Taylor and Mary Brokaw [Femmetje’s sister and her husband]. [25] John’s will, dated 11 Oct 1781, names his wife, Lenah, sons Peter, John, Reynier, and Abraham, daughters Sarah and Lemmetye. [26]

The family of Magdalena’s first family is covered in Bible Record #4484, Cornelius Wycoff (died 1756) and wife, Magdelena Duryee (1717-1803), housed at the New Jersey Genealogical Society. [27] She is mentioned as the wife of Jan Staats in a list of members of the RDC of Harlingen, NJ on 1 May 1763. [28]

Children of JOHN STAATS and FEMMETJE BROKAW are:

i. SARAH5 STAATS, b. circa 1736; poss. m. JACOB or JOHANNES WIMMER.

7. ii. PETER STAATS, b. 06 Jul 1738; d. bef. 03 Sep 1825, Hillsborough, Somerset, NJ.

He was of Somerset Co., NJ on 29 Apr 1740 when his father deeded him land in Somerset Co., NJ. This appears to be all of the 305 acres his father bought of Cornelia Van Dam. [30] He was a freeholder in the East Prising [Precinct] of Somerset Co., NJ in 1753. [31] On 7 Dec 1756 Hendrick Staats contributed to a subscription by the Lutheran Congregation for the building a church near Bedminstertown, half of the sermons to be preached in English, the other half in High Dutch. [32] He and his wife Magtel were of Somerset Co., NJ on 5 Apr 1769 when they deeded 272 1/2 acres of land near Bound Brook bordering Jacob Buys to John Staats of Sowerland, Somerset, NJ. [33] Hendrick mortgaged 90 acres of the land to John Staats in December of 1768. [34] He probably moved to Bridgewater, NJ, where he is probably the one listed in the 1779, 1784, 1786, and 1788 Bridgewater Tax Ratables. [35] He may have had a daughter named Christina named after her maternal grandmother as Peter and his presumed son, John, had daughters named Tiney (Christina).

Page 113.--In the name of God, Amen, October 4, 1760. I, PETER STAATS, of Brookland, in Kings County, farmer, being sick. I leave to my wife Rebecca the use of all estate during her widowhood; but if she marries, she is to have £200. I also leave her a negro wench and my silver teapot and household furniture. After her death, or marriage, I leave all to my two sons Peter and John. Except that my eldest son, Peter, shall have £5 before any division. I make my wife and my brother, John Staats, and my cousin, John Cowenhoven, executors.

Witnesses, Waldron Blaw, Jacob Bennet, Simon Boerum, Esq. Proved, September 20, 1761. [39]

Corrections: Waldron Blaau, Proved Sept 22.

Since this will notes that Peter is his eldest son, this could not be the will of his father, Peter3, since Peter4, was his youngest son. He was not Peter4 (bap. 1714), Peter3, Peter Jansen2 (Jan1) Staats who died before 23 Nov 1781 when his will, written at Bensalem, Bucks Co., PA, was proved.

Children of PETER STAATS and REBECCA UNKNOWN are:

25. i. PETER5 STAATS, b. circa 1746, NY; d. bef. 02 May 1775, Brooklyn, NY.

ii. JOHN STAATS, b. circa 1748, NY. He is probably the John Staats of Gowanus, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY who wrote his will on July 9, 1785, not mentioning any descendants. [40] He leaves his “friend, Johannes Ditmars” part of his estate and makes him one of his executors. I assume Johannes is his step-father, see John’s brother, Peter.

He married SEYTJE VAN NEST, daughter of ABRAHAM V AN NEST and SARAH BERGEN. She was born 22 Dec 1751 at Readington, NJ, and died 28 Jan 1833 in Somerset, NJ.

Seytje supposedly died in 1833. Magdalena is named as Margaret in his will, [46] but as Magdalen at her marriage.

She married JORIS VAN NEST 07 May 1772, son of ABRAHAM V AN NEST and SARAH BERGEN. He was bap. 10 Dec 1746 at Readington, NJ, and died 04 Oct 1806 in Hillsborough, NJ.

12. PETER5 STAATS (HENDRICK4, PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was bap. 18 Nov 1739 at New Utrecht, NY, and died bef. 08 Feb 1794 in Bridgewater, Somerset, NJ. He married SYNIA UNKNOWN. [50] She was born circa 1743, and died 23 Oct 1794 in Bridgewater, NJ. He may have been an innkeeper in Bound Brook, see his brother, Cornelius, and probable brother, John, below.

On 10 Mar 1791 Peter Staats and Sinia, his wife, of Hillsborough, Somerset, NJ sold land to Timothy Brush, Jr. of Hopewell, Hunterdon, NJ, which he bought from Andrew and Sarah Teneik on 1 Jan 1786. [51]

His will, written at Bridgewater, NJ on 12 Oct 1793, mentions his son-in-law, Edward Howell, as one of the executors, the other was Joseph Blackford, another son-in-law though the abstract of his will doesn’t specify that. Hendrick and Jane are noted as being underage. He states he had 5 daughters, but only names Nancy, Tiney and Jane. His property was to be sold after the death or remarriage of his wife, but a record of the sale has not been found. [52]

Children of PETER STAATS and SYNIA UNKNOWN are:

47. i. MARY6 STAATS, b. 19 Jul 1767, NJ; d. 18 Aug 1827.

ii. DAUGHTER STAATS, b. NJ, m. Edward Howell, mentioned in the will of her father as his son-in-law, no further trace. He may have been the Edward Howell who died before April 1819 when the acting administrator of his estate in Somerset Co., NY, petitioned the Orphans court for permission to sell his real estate. [53] No record of the sale or other probate actions were found.

Though unlikely, her husband may be the Edward Howell of Hopewell, Hunterdon {which borders Somerset Co.], NJ whose will of 5 Apr 1835 does not mention a wife, but does mention his children, Hannah Howell and Peter Howell, and two grandchildren, Catherine and Lewis Howell. Edward was living in Hopewell, Hunterdon, NJ in the 1830 census. The inhabitants were probably Edward, son Peter, Peter’s wife, their son, Lewis, their daughter Catherine, his sister Hannah, and an extra male.

His son, Peter, born about 1800, married Sally Ege on 23 Jan 1819 in Hunterdon, NJ. They were living in Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ in 1850, both age 50, no children. They are the Peter Howell, age 60, and Sarah, age 61, and Lewis, age 30?, were living with Samuel and Catherine Lann [Larow] (both age 40, their daughter) in Hopewell, Mercer, NJ in 1860. Peter probably died in Mercer Co., NJ on 14 Oct 1862, age 62. Sarah Howell (age 71) was living with Samuel and Catherine Larone [Larow] (both age 50) in Hopewell, Mercer, NJ in 1870. In the 1880 census of Ewing, Mercer, NJ she is listed as Sarah Howell, 82, grandmother, living with S.H. Phillips, 46, Sarah [Larow] Phillips, 36, [and others], and Samuel Larow, 60, father-in-law. An Andrew Ege, age 70, was living with Samuel and Catherine [Howell] Larow in the 1850 census of Hopewell, Mercer, NJ.

His daughter, Hannah, wrote her will on 8 Feb 1843 at Pennington, Hopewell, Mercer, NJ, names her brother, Peter, his wife, Sarah, their children Catherine Howell and Lewis H. V. Howell, proved 25 Feb 1847. Mercer Co., NJ Wills, Book A, pg. 473.

iii. NANCY STAATS, b. NJ.

iv. TINEY STAATS, b. NJ.

v. JANE STAATS, b. aft. 1773, NJ.

vi. HENRY STAATS, b. aft. 1773, NJ.

13. CORNELIUS5 STAATS (HENDRICK4, PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was bap. 09 Apr 1745 at Harlingen, NJ. He probably married Dinah Mount, daughter of Joseph Mount and Elsje Van Wicklen on 25 Jan 1774 at Christ Church, New Brunswick, NJ.

He appears to have lived primarily in Somerset Co., NJ, but has only one proven descendant.

signed as a witness to the deed of 5 Apr 1769 of his father to John Staats in Somerset Co., NJ.[54]
He is probably the Cornelius Staats in the New Brunswick, NJ 1774 Tax Ratables.[55] Note: he was not listed in the 1779 Tax Ratables of Bridgewater, Somerset Co., where his brother Hendrick was listed that year.
He is probably listed in the Tax Ratables of Bridgewater, Somerset, NJ in 1786, 1787, 1789, 1791, 1792, and 1794.
He was probably an innkeeper in Somerset, NJ in 1786-1788, 1790-1792.[56] A Peter Staats was an innkeeper in 1782-1785, 1793, possibly at the same inn?
He was involved in or named in several Supreme Court Cases from 1786-1792 in Somerset Co, NJ, including as a juror in 1790 in Supreme Court Case 20120 James Jackson vs Rebecca Van Dyke, along with Rynear H Staats and John H. Staats, his presumed brothers.[57]
He may be the Cornelius Staats in the 1792 Military Census Exempts, Readington, Hunterdon, NJ, p. 160, but given his age,[58] this is probably an otherwise unknown son, or nephew (grandson of Hendrick).

They had at least three children, two based on circumstantial evidence, though there may have been more:

Henry:

He would have been named after his paternal grandfather.
He had two children baptized at the Lutheran Church of Oldwick, Hunterdon, NJ in 1796 and 1798.[59] He later moved to Bethlehem, Hunterdon by 1802.[60]
The descendants of his presumed brothers all settled in Somerset Co., NJ.
Henry had a daughter, Dinah, named after her presumed paternal grandmother.
Henry probably had a son named Cornelius after his presumed paternal grandfather.
A John Staats is listed in the 1792 Military Census of Tewksbury, Hunterdon, NJ.[61] who, given his location, does not fit with any known John Staats, so he is another possible son of Cornelius. Oldwick is in Tewksbury Township, but there is no further trace of him.
As noted earlier, another possible son is Cornelius Staats, listed in the 1792 Military of Readington, Hunterdon, NJ who, given his location, does not fit well with any known Cornelius Staats, so is another possible son of Cornelius, but there is no further trace.

Matilda:

She would have been named after her paternal grandmother.
After the death of her husband, Abraham Van Duyn, in 1846, she moved to Plainfield, Union (then Essex), NJ where she is listed in the 1850 census. She later died there on 6 May 1876.[62] This is where 2 of her presumed nephews, Michael and Cornelius Staats, moved by 1840.
Her daughter, Cornelia, may have been named after her presumed maternal grandfather.
There is a large gap between the probable birthdates of Henry and Matilda. Given her age, Cornelius may have married twice, or she may be Cornelius’ granddaughter.

Children of CORNELIUS STAATS and DINAH MOUNT are:

48. i. HENRY6 STAATS, b. circa 1774, NJ; d. bet. 1855 - 1860, Hunterdon, NJ.

ii. ELSJE STAATS, b. circa 1779 at Bound Brook, Somerset, NJ, d. 02 Aug 1858, Piscataway, Middlesex, NJ,[63] m. UKNOWN MILLER, d. before the 1830 census of Piscataway, NJ. He is probably Daniel Miller of Piscataway who died before 22 Mar 1827 when the inventory of his estate was taken. Her death record lists her birth place as Bound Brook and her parents as Cornelius and Dinah Staats. Her mother, Dinah Staats is living with her in the 1850 census of Piscataway. According to the 1830 census they had at least one son and one daughter, probably including Cornelius S. Miller who was the administrator of her estate. According to his tombstone he was born 23 May 1807 at Bound Brook, Somerset, NJ. According to his death record his parents were E. and E. Miller.

49. iii. MATILDA STAATS, b. circa 1798, NJ; d. 06 May 1876, Plainfield, Union, NJ.

14. REYNIER5 STAATS (HENDRICK4, PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was born bet. 1745 - 1760 in NJ, and died bef. 20 Mar 1821 in Hillsborough, NJ. He married SARAH COSHUN, daughter of JOSEPH COSHUN and E LIZABETH WYCKOFF.[64] She was born 1759 in NJ, and died 1829 in Hillsborough, NJ.

I have not proved his parents. This is a best placement for him:

He is probably the Reynear H. Staats who was a juror in 1790 in Supreme Court Case (#20120) James Jackson vs Rebecca Van Dyke, along with John H Staats and Cornelius Staats, his presumed brothers.[65]
His uncle John had a son named Reynier, both named after their maternal great uncle, Reynier Veghte.
He had a son named Henry and probably a son named Joseph after their presumed paternal and maternal grandfathers, respectively.

Henry Herder and Jacob R. Schenck were the administrators of his estate.[66] He is mentioned in his father-in-law's will as his son-in-law.[67]

Children of REYNIER STAATS and SARAH COSHUN are:

50. i. ANNETJE6 STAATS, bap. 22 Nov 1778, near Neshanic, NJ; d. 1836, Hillsborough, NJ.

ii. HENRY STAATS, bap. 31 May 1784, near Neshanic, NJ; d. 1815, Hillsborough, NJ.[68]

51. iii. JOSEPH STAATS, b. circa 1786, NJ; d. bef. 1859.

15. JOHN5 STAATS (HENDRICK4, PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was born circa 1751, and died bef. Oct 1827. He married HANNAH TREMBLY 19 Apr 1776 in Somerset, NJ, daughter of PETER TREMBLY and H ANNAH UNKNOWN. She died before 08 Jan 1810 in Somerset, NJ.

I have not proved his parents. This is a best placement for him:

He is said to be the brother of Peter Staats, an innkeeper in Bound Brook[69] (part of Bridgewater Twp.)
He is probably the John H. Staats who was a juror in 1790 in Supreme Court Case 20120 James Jackson vs Rebecca Van Dyke, along with Rynear H Staats and Cornelius Staats, his presumed brothers.
His uncle, John, already had a son named John.
He had a son named Henry and a son named Peter, after their presumed and known paternal and maternal grandfathers, respectively.
Being married in 1776, he was probably born by 1756 or earlier.
He had daughters named Tiney and Nancy, as did his presumed brother, Peter.
He had a son named Peter after his presumed brother.

John Voorhees, on behalf of Peter Staats, claimed 2/8 of the lots of that descended to Nancy Staats and Susan Staats.[70] This conflicts with the eventual division into seven parts, but is probably mistaken.

The heirs of Hannah Staats, daughter of Peter Trembly were: John, Jr., Hannah Van Kirk, wife of Nathan Van Kirk, heirs of Nancy Staats, dec., heirs of Susan Staats, dec., assigns of Henry Staats, dec., Christina Boudinot, assigns of Peter Staats, dec. [71]

John Staats was probably deceased by 1828 as I believe his wife's property would have passed to him if he was still alive then.

Children of JOHN STAATS and HANNAH TREMBLY are:

52. i. JOHN6 STAATS, b. circa 1778, Somerset, NJ; d. 30 Jun 1846, Franklin, Somerset, NJ.

ii. HENRY STAATS, b. circa 1787, Somerset, NJ; d. bef. Oct 1827.

8 Jan 1810 Henry Staats (no wife mentioned) of Somerset, NJ sold his 1/8 interest in land near Bound Brook in Bridgewater, Somerset, left to him by Peter Trembley, witnessed by Peter Staats and John Staats, Sr. Somerset Co., NJ Deeds, Vol. F, pg. 741.

iii. PETER STAATS, b. 25 Feb 1789, Somerset, NJ; d. 27 Apr 1822, Bound Brook, NJ.

His 1/8th portion was sold by the Sheriff Martin Schenck to Jeremiah Fisher, Jeremiah Manning and others on 6 Aug 1819. Somerset Co., NJ Deeds, Vol J, pg. 686.

iv. TINEY STAATS, b. circa 1792, Somerset, NJ; d. bef. Oct 1827; m. TOBIAS BOUDINOT, 22 Dec 1817, Somerset, NJ.

I have not proved her marriage. The record lists her name as Dinah Staats.

v. NANCY STAATS, b. 18 Jun 1794, Somerset, NJ; d. 31 Jan 1812, Bound Brook, NJ.

vi. SUSAN STAATS, b. 12 Aug 1797, Somerset, NJ; d. 31 Jan 1812, Bound Brook, NJ.

16. CATHERINE5 VROOM (GERRITJE4 STAATS, PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was bap. May 1750 at Raritan, NJ, and died 1836. She married JOHN DE MOTT, son of J OHANNES DE MOTT and ELIZABETH DAVIDS. He was born 1746 in NJ, and died 01 May 1834.

17. JOSENYTJE5 VROOM (GERRITJE4 STAATS, PETER3, JAN JANSEN2, JAN PIETERSE1) was born circa 1754 in NJ. She married JAMES VOORHEES. He was born circa 1745, and died bef. 03 Jul 1830 in Bedminster, NJ.

JAMES VOORHEES wrote a codicil to his will in 1827. His will mentions his 3 grandchildren, Abraham, Jane & Elizabeth, by his son Hendrick Vroom Voorhees, and his son, James. Will dated 21 Dec 1826 in Bedminster, proved 3 Jul 1830. [72]

His tombstone is in the Bedminster Reformed Church Cemetery, died 19 Jun 1830 in the 86th year of his age, i.e. he was 85 at the time.

She was born 20 Sep 1752 at Readington, NJ, baptized 22 Oct 1752, Readington Reformed Church, Hunterdon, NJ, and died 02 May 1829 in Hunterdon, NJ.

Page 374. In the name of God, Amen, February 10, 1774. I, PETER STAATS, of the township of Broucklin, in Kings County, on the Island of Nassau, being sick. I leave to my wife Janettie £100, and my negro wench, and my chair horse and my riding chair, and 4 cows, and all the household furniture my wife brought to my estate. I leave to my wife the use of all my estate to bring up my daughter Catlyna. But if my wife marries, my executors are to take the whole. I leave to my daughter Catlyna all my estate, real and personal, in Broucklin or elsewhere. If she dies, then I leave all to my wife and my brother, Jan Staats, and my loving brother-in-law, Abraham Ditmars. And my executors have power to sell.

She was born 24 Jun 1786, and died 10 Mar 1848 in Somerset, NJ.

The mother's name in the baptismal record of Maria is Elizabeth Schenck, but that couple is otherwise known. She is not the daughter of Hendrick Staats and Elizabeth Schenck as they did not have a daughter named Mary Ann. I have place her here as a best placement, but if correct, she probably died young.

Children of JOHN STAATS and MARY VEGHTE are:

73. i. JOHN7 STAATS, b. 24 Nov 1799, near Hillsborough, NJ.

74. ii. HENRY V. STAATS, b. circa 1801, NJ; d. 11 Mar 1890, Hillsborough, Somerset, NJ.

He married MARIA BERGEN 22 Dec 1801 in Somerset, NJ, daughter of JACOBUS BERGEN and ANNETJE VOORHEES. She was born 23 Apr 1786, and died 14 Feb 1861 in Somerset, NJ.

The baptismal record for Evert lists his parents as William Staats and Mariah Bergen. I believe this is a mistake. He was living in Hillsborough Twp., Somerset, NJ in the 1840 census with a woman aged 50 -59 who was probably his mother, Abraham having died in 1839. Comparing the 1830 Census, he is listed near where Abraham was listed then, with a son of the right age. He was named after his maternal uncle, Evert Bergen. His eldest son was named Abraham.

I have not proved his parents or some of his children. The parents of Michael and Dinah are known from their baptismal records. The father of Henry is listed as Henry on his death record. The parents of Joseph, John, Cornelius, and Phineas are based only on circumstantial evidence.

The family is listed in the 1830 Census of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ:

Henry Staats 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 1 / 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 He was born between 1770-1779

Michael and Dina were married by 1830 and were not living with them. I am assuming some of the sons were miscategorized and that Joseph and Henry and their families are living with them.

In the 1840 Census of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ:

Henry Statts 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 / 1 1 0 1 0 0 1

In other census records:

1850 Census Quakertown, Franklin, Hunterdon, NJ, includes Henry, wife, Theodocia, and daughter, Catherine

1855 Census Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ 1 male 2 females

1860 Census Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ, wife only

She was a widow in the 1865 census of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ

She is listed in the 1870 Census of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ

On 18 Jun 1802 Henry Stauts of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ bought land in Bethlehem from Benjamin Egbert. [80] On 16 Sep 1808 Henry Staats of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ and Catherine, his wife, sell land in Bethlehem Township which he bought from Benjamin Egbert to Tunis Stires. [81] On 10 Jun 1815 Henry Staats of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ and Catherine, his wife, sell land to Tunis Stires. [82] Conveyed by Matthew Martin on 9 Apr 1804. On 1 Mar 1831 Henry Staats of Bethlehem, Hunterdon, NJ sold land in Bethlehem including the mortgaged property known as the Ark Factory formerly belonging to Thomas and James Wiggins having been sold by the Sheriff on 6 Aug 1829 to a group of people. [83] On 7 Feb 1832 Land mortgaged by Henry Staats and his wife in 1816 by decree of the Court of Chancey of 26 Jan 1831 were forced to sell land in Bethlehem, Hunterdon Co., NJ. [84]

I have not proved his 2nd marriage to Theodosia Opdyke. The Op Dyck Genealogy, by Charles Wilson Opdyke said Theodosia Opdyck married 1st John Hardy, 2nd Henry Staats, both of Bethlehem, NJ. He had moved to Bethlehem by 1802 when he bought land there. I believe his daughter Catherine was named after his first wife. His presumed grandson may have been named after his step-grandmother, The 1830 census has 2 males of Henry's age and one female of Catherine's age, but no wife, but the forced sale in 1832 implies he had a wife in 1831, though the reference to her could just be to the original mortgage.

I have not proved her parents. This is best placement, assuming she was named after her paternal grandmother, her daughter, Cornelia, was named after her maternal grandfather, and migration to Plainfield.

The family is listed in the 1830 Census Bridgewater, Somerset, NJ

Inventory of Abraham's estate taken by Abraham Skillman and John I. Staats of Franklin, Somerset, NJ. His land in Franklin was sold to John I. Staats to settle his estate.

On 19 Sep 1812, Joseph Staats and Hannah his wife of Middlesex, NJ sold land deeded by Thomas Wiggins in 1804 to the Presbyterian Church of Princeton, which they sold to Joseph Staats? [88] A deed dated 7 Jul 1858 lists his heirs, including the living husbands of his daughters. Located on the north side of the great road from Trenton to Princeton, ... middle of Stony Brook...containing 100 acres. [89] On 1 Apr 1836, Joseph Staats & Elizabeth his wife of West Windsor, Middlesex, NJ sell 2 acres to Philip Augustus Stockton on the south side of the road from Princeton to Trenton. [90] Given the location, the wife’s name, Elizabeth, is probably an error for Mary.

Henry is buried in the same cemetery as his presumed parents. A John Staats, age 76, probably Henry’s father, was living with the family in 1850. Given the birthdate of their first known child according to his tombstone, it is likely that the published marriage date of 22 Oct 1825 [95] is incorrect. His death certificate say he died 11 Mar 1890 at Hillsborough, Somerset, NJ, widowed, age 88.

His wife is named as Ellen Staats in the will of her father. She is to receive an equal share with her other married sisters (whose married names are given), whereas her unmarried sister, Elizabeth, received an additional bequest.

I think it is likely the Beletje, baptized on 5 Jun 1774 at the RDC of Hillsborough, NJ, father Abraham & mother Beletje, was actually the daughter of Abraham and Sarah Clawson, the mother’s name being mistranscribed. I believe Beletje is the daughter named Betsey in Abraham’s will. His son, Abraham, is to pay his sisters Betsey and Lana and his son, Peter, is to pay his sisters, Polly and Jane their bequests.

From Andrew Johnson’s Journal:

"March 2d, 1759, Match'x. —Abe. Wortman came to me about taking some land jo[y]ning to John Phenix; he says on what they call the Barrens. As I do not remember whether there be any without the lot Phenix has taken, I wrote to him desiring him to shew Wortman his bounds and to let me know whether there be any there worth settling. Have promised to give a lease when I am satisfied about it. SCHQ, Vol. 4, pg. 35.

31. AELTJE5 WOERTMAN (ANDRIES4, JAN3, DIRCK JANS2, JAN1) was bap. 08 Apr 1719 at New Brunswick, NJ. She married MATTHIAS TEN EYCK, son of JACOB TEN EYCK and JACOMYNTJE VAN NEST. He was bap. 28 Oct 1721 at Raritan, NJ, and died bef. 30 Jul 1796 in Bridgewater, Somerset, NJ.

Matthias’ will (as Mathew Ten Eick) mentions his grandsons, Matthew Van Pelt and Andrew Van Pelt. They are probably sons of his daughter, Catherine, but that is unclear. His son, Andrew, apparently had no children as the land he inherited is to pass to them at the death of Andrew and his wife. He mentions his daughter, Jane (no married name) and his grandson, Matthew Woodward. His will mentions his wife, Eleanor, so Aeltje had probably died. It also mentions his brother, Peter.

Wm. Wortman (Bouts son) is to have the use of the fields joyning to Wm. Roberts for one year (unless sold), and to pay a reasonable rent, I think £4 or £5.

March 6th, 1745/6.

—Will'm Wortman (Bouts son) was with me. I have agreed with him for 100 acres land, part of Lott No. 6. He is to have it joyning to Mr. Leslies lott and to run down Middle brook so far as a parrarel [parallel] line from the brook to the lower end of the lott will include the 100 acres, for which he is to give £135, to be paid viz.: £45 the next faul and interest from 1st May; next £45, 1st May, 1747; the remainder on the 1st May following. He is to give security for the payments.

"Mar. 26th.

He was probably a freeholder in Bridgewater, Somerset, NJ in 1753. His tombstone: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13317943/william-wortman

His family may have been living in the Wyoming Valley in 1778 which suggests he may have been the William Wortman of Luzerne Co., PA in 1789, see the Wortmans of PA in the Woertmans blog post.

Revolutionary War Pension application:

John Wortman NJ Line, Sarah W1020, sol lived at Bedminster in Somerset Co., NJ when he enlisted and sol died there Aug 25, 1807 aged 76 years, 9 mos, 9 days. Sol had married his second wife Sarah Harriot July 9, 1777 and she was born in 1757 and she died March 15, 1838. Sol's first wife was not named.

-Actually, his first wife is named as Sarah, b 12 Sep 1732 and died 8 Jan 1777. Her maiden name is not given. Their first son, John, was born 8 Jan 1757, but died in May 1758. The file mentions that there may have been some confusion with the pension application of John Woertman (W100), but since his son, John, died in 1758 there is not.

John Wortman's will was proved September 18, 1807 names ten children: John, Margaret, Mary, Sarah (dec.), Abigail, Althe, Rachel, Rebecca, Isabel. and Christian (Christiana). Source: Early Germans of New Jersey for children and daughter's husbands, pages 574-575.
