JOHNSON Among the early settlers of New Amsterdam the name of Jansen or as Anglicized John-
son is of frequent occurrence. It is probably of the immigrants from Holland who came with the great influx between the years 1658 and 1663 that this subject under investigation will finally be traced. Andres Jansen was born on Long Island, A. D. 1665, and is the positively known first American ancestor of Hon. William Mindred Johnson, of Hacken- sack, New Jersey, in whose ancestry we are interested in this sketch, and in the absence of definite authority as to parentage, the Holland Society accepted him as a member ; the proof of the nativity of the father of Andres Jansen while not fixed by name, became apparent and indisputable as to fact.
(I) Andres Jansen was, according to the records made of births in the family Bible in the possession of the Johnson family, born on Long Island in 1665, where he married and had six sons as follows: Coart,, born in 1689, Andrew, Peter, Myndred (Mindred), Henry, John. He removed with his children from Long Island and the two generations became prominent citizens of Reading Town, Hunter- don county, New Jersey. Here Andres Jan- sen, or as his name was anglicized, Andrew Johnson, died while walking to the Dutch Re- formed Church in Readington, which town- ship was located in Somerset county up to the time the new county of Hunterdon was formed. His walk was probably from his farm near White Horse to the church in Read- ington. His age at his death is recorded as eighty years.
(II) Coart, eldest son of Andres Jansen, was born on Long Island in the year of Our Lord, 1689. He removed with his father. probably by way of Middletown, Monmouth county, to Reading Town, Somerset county, New Jersey, where he was brought up on his

father's farm, and where he married Charity or Gertje Lane, Laan or Lanen, daughter of Arie or Adriaen Thyssen Lanen, of New Utrecht, Long Island, who married Martyntje Smack or Smock. Adriaen Lane's name ap- pears on the assessment rolls of the township of New Utrecht of 1693 and the census of 1698. He is also recorded as of Gravesend. He removed to Middletown, Monmouth county, New Jersey, about 1700, at which date he conveyed land in New Utrecht to Gysford Tysson (Van Pelt). The children of Adriaen Thyssen and Martyntje (Smock) Lane were: Janetje, Gertje or Charity and Hendrik. The children of Coart and Charity (Lane) John- son included Andrew, who married Jane Ber- ger, May 10, 1755; Martha, who married and had children; Henry, see forward. Coart Johnson died at his home at Johnsonburg, New Jersey, in 1772, and was buried at Green's burying ground at Hardwick.
(III) Henry, son of Coart and Charity (Lane) Johnson, was born near White Horse, now Readington Church, Somerset county, New Jersey, October 5, 1737. He married (first) Susan Hover and removed to Sussex county, New Jersey, where he purchased a farm near Newton, the shire town of the county. He was a founder and one of the first elders of the Presbyterian church in Newton, and a prominent citizen of the county, with sufficient wealth to give his children superior school training. He was an officer in the American revolution and held the important position of quartermaster and afterwards cap- tain in Washington's army while in New Jer- sey. He died January 5, 1826, at the age of eighty-nine years, at Frankfort, near Newton, and was buried in the old cemetery at Newton. The children of Captain Henry and Susan (Hover) Johnson were born in Newton, New Jersey, and were : Henry, see forward; David and Jonathan (twins) ; John, see forward ; Samuel : William ; Sarah, married Van Tile Coursen ; Hannah, married John Van Deren. His second wife was Ann Van Este, whom he married in 1795. They had a daughter Susanna. married John Hover and went to Ohio.
(IV) Henry, son of Captain Henry and Susan (Hover) Johnson, became an early set- tler of Johnsonburg, Sussex county, where he was the chief merchant and brought up a large family. His son, William Henry, married Anna Couse and had five children: Henry W. and John C. (twins), born in Johnson- burg, October 21, 1828, brought up and edu-
cated in Newton; Henry W., as a merchant, afterwards a banker at Long Branch, and John C. as a physician and surgeon in Blairstown where he married Anna L., daughter of John R. and Sarah (Armstrong) Howell. The other children of William H. and Anna (Couse) Johnson were : Catharine H., Samuel, who was surrogate of Sussex county; and Mary, wife of William W. Woodward, a mer- chant in Newton.
(IV) John, son of Captain Henry and Susan (Hover) Johnson, was born in Newton, Sussex county, New Jersey, September 5, 1764, died there February 8, 1829. He was educated in the schools of his native town; engaged in manu- facturing and mercantile business; was mem- ber of legislature, county clerk and judge of the county court. He was made a trustee of the Newton Library Company, September I, 1800, and was prominent in local and county affairs.

By this second marriage he had three children as follows, born in New- ton, New Jersey : 7. William Jefferson, March 13, 1805; was a practicing physician in New York City, and died there September 22, 1860. 8. Whitfield Schaeffer, see forward. 9. Sarah Catherine, March 29. 1808, died unmarried September 28, 1868, and was buried at New- ton.
(V) Whitfield Schaeffer, son of Judge John and Maria Catherine (Schaeffer) Johnson, was born in Newton. Sussex county, New Jer- sey, November 24, 1806. He received his ele- mentary education in the schools of Newton, his training in law under instruction of Chief Justice Hornblower at Newark, and was ad- mitted to the bar of Sussex county as an at- torney in 1828 and as a counsellor in the courts of New Jersey in 1831. He was prose- cutor of the pleas for Sussex county for nearly twenty years. He served as secretary of state for the state of New Jersey 1861-66 under ap- pointment from Governor Olden, and on re- ceiving the appointment he removed to Tren- ton, New Jersey, where he resided at the time of his death, which occurred December 24, 1874.

(VI) William Mindred, only son and fifth child of Whitfield Schaeffer and Ellen (Green) Johnson, was born in Newton, Sus- sex county, New Jersey, December 2, 1847. He was prepared for college at the Model School, Trenton, and graduated from the Col- lege of New Jersey ( Princeton), A. B., 1867, A. M., 1870, and was admitted to the bar in 1870 as an attorney, and in 1873 as a coun- sellor in the state courts. He practiced his profession in Trenton, 1870-74, and in 1875 removed to Hackensack, New Jersey, and con- tinued the practice of law in all the courts of the state and in the district and circuit courts of the United States. He was elected state senator from Bergen county in 1895 and re- elected in 1898, serving as president of the senate during the session of 1900, and during the absence of Governor Voorhees in Europe in May and June, 1900, he was ex-officio gov- ernor of the state of New Jersey. In August, 1900, he was appointed by President McKin- ley first assistant postmaster general and he held that office up to April, 1902, when he re- signed. He was a delegate from New Jersey to the Republican national conventions of 1888 and 1904, and served as chairman of the Republican state conventions of 1900 and 1904. His public spirit and liberality have abundant evidence in the records of the town of Hackensack during the time of his resi- dence there, and in the Johnson Public Library erected at his expense and costing probably more than $60,000 and which was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies on its completion in 1901, the representative educators and pub- lic men of northern New Jersey taking part in the ceremonies. On removing to Hacken- sack in 1875 he was admitted to membership in the Second Reformed Church by letter from Trenton, and in 1905 he presented to the church an excellent pipe organ, and when the church and its contents were destroyed by fire in 1908 he added a considerable sum to the insurance money, paid for the loss of the organ, and thus enabled the consistory to pro- cure one of the finest organs in use in Ber-
gen county. He invested in the business and financial institutions, having a home in Hack- ensack, and was made a director of many, and president of the Hackensack Trust Company, in which he has a large holding of its capital stock. He was elected a member of the Hol- land Society of New York, being a direct de- scendant from Holland ancestry. He is a member of the Lawyers' and Princeton clubs of New York City, of the New Jersey His- torical Society and of the Washington Asso- ciation and other societies.
Mr. Johnson married, October 22, 1872, Maria E., daughter of William and Hannah (Haines) White, of Trenton, New Jersey, and the eldest of their three children was born in Trenton, the other two in Hackensack, as follows: I. Walter Whitfield, April 13, 1875, died unmarried March 16, 1891. 2. George White, July 26, 1877. 3. William Kempton, February 25, 1883.
The Woolston family of WOOLSTON New Jersey belongs to that noble band of Quakers, who were among the earliest settlers of the plantation on the Delaware, where the founder of the family is found in Burlington county, in 1783, and where his marriage is one of the earliest recorded in the court minutes of that settlement.
Towards the last of October, 1667, some heads of families came in a ship to Wickaco (near the old Swedes Church), Philadelphia, and settled in the neighborhood of Burlington. There were eighteen. Among them were William Penn and John Woolston; they lived in wigwams until they could get their log houses built. Indian corn and venison, traded with the Indians, was their chief food. Will- iam Budd about the same time located land on the south side of the north branch of Ranco- cas which he conveyed to John Woolston, one of the first settlers in Burlington county. John Woolston married Hanna Cooper, daughter of William Cooper, of Pine Point, now Camden City, in 1681, and died in 1712, without making any will, and under the laws then existing in the colonies his oldest son John inherited all his real estate. He how- ever, left two other sons, Joshua and Michael. John Woolston conveyed to his brother Michael part of the above land inherited from his father which embraces most of the land between Pemberton and Birningham Mill on the south side of Rancocas creek containing seven hundred acres. Joshua was never mar-

(IV) John Bray (2), only child of John Bray and Lydia (Smith) Woolston, was born in Port Colden, New Jersey, June 11, 1864. For his early education he was sent to the pub- lic schools of Warren county, and then gradu- ated from the Hackettstown Collegiate Insti- tute. In 1882 he entered the employ of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, with whom he remained until 1885, when he came to Newark, and went into the freight department of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. In 1890 he started a coal business in East Orange, the Park Avenue Coal Company, which he gave up in 1898 in order to accept the position of freight agent of the Lackawanna railroad at Bloomfield, New Jersey. This po- sition he retained until 1901 when he was ap- pointed chief clerk of the surrogate's office, a position which he resigned in 1907 when he was elected county clerk. In politics Mr. Woolston is a Republican and is one of the strong men of his party. He has been for some time a member of the city Republican committee, and for the last four years its chairman. He is prominent in the secret so- ciety world, being a member of Ophir Chap- ter. No. 186, of the Free and Accepted Masons of East Orange, a past regent of the Royal Arcanum; a past counsellor of the Loyal Ad- ditional. He is also president of the Holly- wood Republican Club a position which he has held since that club's formation, and a member of the Indian League.

June 20, 1885, Mr. Woolston married in Port Colden, Warren county, New Jersey, Lucy, elder daughter of Samuel and Sarah J. (Carling) Opdyke, born September 1, 1867. (See Opdyke, VIII.)
(The Opdyke Line).
By far the largest number of American, Opdyck-Updike, are descendants from the Dutch family who settled in and near New York about 1660. It is impossible at present to trace to a certainty the Holland ancestry, but the family in the Netherlands was numer- ous and goes back at least as early as 1355, when Albert op den Dyck is credited with hav- ing done penance before the Custodian of the Shrine of the three Kings in Cologne Cathe- dral for some offence committed against Lub- bert Scherpinge. The name has undergone several changes in the course of the century, and is now found under forms of Opdyke. Updike and Dyck.
(I) Louris Jansen Opdyck, born in Hol- land about 1600, came to New Netherlands before 1653, in which year he owned a resi- (lence at Albany, and bought a lot at Graves End, Long Island, in which latter place he died in 1659. He was a well educated man, and possessed of some means, and he did a prosperous fur trading business at Beverwyck.

FERGUSON This ancient surname is of Scottish origin, derived from Fergus, a favorite name and one proudly worn by many Scotch chiefs in ancient times.
(I) Rev. John Ferguson, immigrant, was born December 9, 1788, in Dunse, a market town in Berwickshire, in the southern part of Scotland. His grandfather came from the
827
STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
north of Scotland and was one of the soldiers of the Duke of Marlborough, serving in the Scots Greys, a regiment of heavy cavalry dur- ing the period of Queen Anne's wars. His father and uncle came to America and settled in Newport, Rhode Island. About the time of the revolutionary war his father returned to Scotland, for he was not willing to take up arms against the mother country; but at the age of about seventy years he returned with his wife and family to Newport. His wife was Anne Briggs, of Little Compton, Rhode Island.
At the time of the return of his father to this country John Ferguson was a young man of seventeen years. He was converted at an early age and at once began fitting himself for the ministry. For two years he studied the- ology with Dr. Tenney, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Newport, Rhode Island, intending to enter Yale College two years in advance of the regular course. While living in Providence, Rhode Island, he at one time was a student of theology under the in- struction of Rev. Galvin Park, D. D., professor of ancient languages and later of moral phi- losophy at Brown University. However, he was compelled to abandon his plans for enter- ing Yale and had to again enter business pur- suits and assume the care of his father ad the maintenance of his family. For ten years he continued this course, and during all of that time he never relinquished the hope of enter- ing the ministry. He seemed to have a pre- sentiment that the chief desire of his life would be fulfilled, and the ten years proved a period of preparation for that kind of life, although of quite different nature from that which. he would have chosen.
His first sermon as a candidate was preached at Attleboro, Massachusetts, and his text was "The Lord is a Man of War." The text and sermon were not only characteristic of the man and of his theology, but of his ministry, which to use his own expression was "war- like." He never shrank from the defense of truth, never hesitated to sacrifice comfort, rep- utation, or means of support in the mainte- nance of principle. He was ordained in Attle- boro, February 27, 1822, and dismissed March 25, 1835. In speaking of his ministry there one writer says: "It was of great value in the administration of wise and judicious measures and marked the beginning of the system of support to the various benevolent enterprises of the day, and of aid to the labors of parent and pastor by a judicious and careful educa-
tion of children in Sabbath schools, and ma- ternal associations." After leaving Attleboro Mr. Ferguson was settled in Whately, Massa- chusetts, from March 16, 1836, until June 7, 1840. He was called Father Ferguson and was a man to whom churches looked for coun- sel and pastors for advice, often when pastors and churches were involved in difficulties. "He was very often solicited to appear as ad- vocate before ecclesiastical courts, and many a time as he has done this have the coolness and shrewdness, the wit and wisdom with which he advocated the course extorted the exclamation 'what a lawyer he would have made.'" He almost always defended the weaker party, his sympathies frequently inclin- ing to the unpopular side. "He was always ready to grasp the shield and poise his lance for the injured and defenceless. In all such cases he sniffed the battle like the war horse and fought with all the chivalry and the cour- tesy of a christian knight." He became ex- tensively known as the "champion of the op- pressed" although at the same time he was equally well known as "a lover and maker of peace."
He preached for about two years at Lanes- borough and Whately, the place of his former settlement, and in 1842 became general agent for the American Tract Association for the states of Vermont and New Hampshire, in which office and its duties he was very suc- cessful ; and he really became the Congrega- tional bishop for those two states. He died at Whately, November 11, 1858. He was a man of vigorous mind and of vigorous body, a large-hearted man, of keen wit, "but his keen- est shafts were winged with kindness." He was social and genial in manner. Realizing the defects of his own education-never hav- ing graduated from any college-he labored hard and made many sacrifices to give each of his sons a college education. Amherst College bestowed on him the honorary degree of Mas- ter of Arts, a proof that although he had been denied the advantages of a college course he had by his own exertions thoroughly educated himself and the compliment was a source of great gratification to him. Mr. Ferguson pub- lished a sermon on the death of Ebenezer Daggett Jr., which was delivered December 16, 1831, and several other discourses. He also published for the use of Sunday schools a "Memoir of Dr. Samuel Hopkins," the cele- brated theologian.
