(VII) Albert, son of Moses Condit, was born at West Orange, on the homestead farm on Condit Lane, situated on the road to Ver- ona, March 1, 1823. He was brought up on his father's farm, acquiring the usual common school education of a farmer's son at that period. He was progressive in his studies. and a splendid farmer. From the age of fif- teen to twenty-seven he continued with his father in the affairs of the farm. He became progressive in his ideas of agriculture and be- lieved in the improved methods. He became greatly attracted to the raising of fruit, par- ticularly peaches, and became a pioneer in the section. He let out large orchards on the mountain side and devoted for a time his whole interest to this industry. His fruit brought the first premium at all the New York City fairs, and it was due to his expert cultivation that greatly enriched his father's estate and netted a handsome yearly income. After the

age of twenty-seven years, owing to a decline in the peach growth which was prevalent in the valley at that time, he came to East Orange and entered into the grocery business, remain- ing for a short time. This did not prove suc- cessful and the business was closed up. He then became clerk for the Francis Grocery at Newark, remaining three years, when he re- turned to the West Orange Valley and bought the Abner Neeves farm of thirty acres, now situated on Mt. Pleasant avenue, on the road to Livingston. He was successful in the rais- ing of the common crops and fruit growing. He entered extensively into the cattle business (1860), making extended trips through north- ern Jersey and Sussex county, Orange, and upper part of Morris counties, where he bought cattle, selling them to dealers and driving them to West Orange, where he slaughtered them on his farm in his own slaughter house. He con- tinued in this business on the home farm until 1884, when his sons, Orlando E. and William E., established themselves in the wholesale meat business at East Orange. He then retired from active work, continuing at farming dur- ing the latter part of his life. He died at West Orange, at his home, August 4, 1899. Mr. Condit was of a quiet, retiring disposition, amiable and democratic in his makeup. He was strictly upright and honorable in all his dealings, and socially possessed a host of friends. He was philanthropical, helping others in a quiet way. He attended the St. Cloud Presbyterian Church. He was a sterling Dem- ocrat, and adhered to his party principles. He was tax collector, a number of years, council- man of the town of West Orange, and be- lieved in advanced ideas in town affairs. He was one of the pioneers in macadamized roads. He married, November 28, 1849, Rachel Cath- arine Williams, born November 23, 1825, died December 27, 1906, daughter of Jonathan Squier and Phebe ( Perry) Williams. Jona- than S.

(VIII) Orlando Emmons, son of Albert Condit, was born in the east part of Orange, New Jersey, March 20, 1853. At an early age he removed with his parents to the ancestral house in the West Orange Valley, where his educational training began in the nearby dis- trict school. At the age of thirteen years he daily attended the Misses Robinson's private school at Orange, which stood where the pres-
ent Boys' Club now stands on Main street. During the summer months he assisted his father at home. He took a course in the Bryant & Stratton Commercial School at New- ark, from which he graduated in the spring of 1871. As a youth he assisted his father in the cattle business, driving cattle from the nearby towns to West Orange, where they were slaughtered in his father's slaughter house on the homestead farm. Gaining the experience in this business, he later became his father's salesman and was successful from the start, much of his father's product being sold in the Oranges, Montclair and nearby towns. He continued with his father up to 1884, when Mr. Condit Sr. retired from the business, and his sons, Orlando E. and William E., the latter having gained a thorough knowledge of the business, having also been associated with his- father, opened the beef and packing plant of O. E. & W. E. Condit, at East Orange, near South Clinton street, June 9, 1884. They handled the Hammond products from the start, he. being the pioneer beef merchant, and later became the G. H. Hammond Company, and finally merging into the National Packing Com- pany. The Condit firm have continued to handle the products of these concerns, doing a large commission business, supplying the re- tail dealers in the surrounding and local trade. The firm supply westward to Morristown, south to Milburn, north to Verona, Caldwell, Montclair, and east to Newark and vicinity, selling also packing houses in New York City. The plant, situated between Clinton and Hal- sted streets, has a refrigerator 30 by 75, cap- able of storing one hundred thousand pounds of beef and fresh products, also packed meats. Mr. Condit had charge of the plant and inside business, and W. E. Condit attended to the out- side and financial end, buying and collecting. July 17, 1909, the brothers disposed of the business to the National Packing Company. Mr. Condit owns a beautiful residence on South Clinton street, which he erected in De- cember, 1890.

The name Closson, like those CLOSSON of Clawson, Clauson, Classon, Claessen, etc., had its origin in the Dutch custom of attaching "sen" to the father's given name, to form the surname of the child ; thus the sons of "Claus," the Dutch form of Nicholas, were named "Claussen," or more commonly Classen or Claessen, until the family had been resident in America for a few generations, when it became closely associated with the English, adopted the custom of their neighbors and retained a permanent surname instead of changing with each generation. Two or three branches of the Classon or Clauson family became residents of Pennsylvania dur- ing colonial times, all probably descended from the early Dutch emigrants to New Netherlands.
Jan Classen was one of the earliest Dutch settlers on the Delaware, residing in or near Burlington Island in 1676, and the following year obtained a grant of land on the Nashaminy in Bucks county in the present limits of Bristol township, and received permission from the court at Upland to settle thereon. This land, about five hundred and thirty acres, was con- firmed by William Penn in 1684 to Jan or John Clauson, and descended to his children, all of whom, however, according to the Dutch cus- tom, took the name of Johnson.
Christian Classon, of "Tiaominck" (Tacony), purchased in 1685 "a parcel of Meadow Ground, being in the swamp adjoining the land belonging to the township of Tiacominck, join- ing to the River Delaware." Christian died about 1700, and his widow, Margaret, married Thomas Jones. Christian and Margaret Clas- son had eleven children.
(I) Captain Gerrabrant Claessen, of New Amsterdam, became the head of another branch of the Closson family, whose descendants be- came residents of Philadelphia and its vicinity. He obtained a grant of land in Bergen county, New Jersey, of Philip Carteret, and died there in 1708, leaving a widow, Mary, who died in 1714, and children : Cornelius; William, see
forward; Nicholas; Herbert; Neiltje, wife of John Jurian ; Meyfie, wife of Dirck Van Lout ; Mary, wife of Geret Von Wagoner, and Peter.
(II) William Clawson, supposed to be a son of Captain Gerrabrant Claessen, settled at Pis- cataway, Middlesex county, New Jersey, where he purchased land as early as 1683, and died in 1724. He left a widow, Mary, and children : Cornelius, who died in Piscataway in 1758, left children : Cornelius, William, Zachariah and several daughters ; Benjamin ; Josias ; William ; John; Gerrabrant; Joseph; Thomas, see for- ward; Mary, married Drake ; Hannah, who was unmarried in 1723.
(III) Thomas Closson, son of William and Mary Clawson, died in Piscataway in 1761, leaving children: Brant; William; Richard, who died in Buckingham, Bucks county, Penn- sylvania, in 1754, leaving a widow, Alice ; John, see forward ; Josias ; Brant; Mary; Elizabeth ; Hannah, and Sarah.
(IV) John, son of Thomas Closson, at the time of his death, December 6, 1756, was a tenant on land belonging to Thomas Watson, of Buckingham, lying just over the line of Buckingham township, Bucks county, Penn- sylvania, in the township of Warwick. A John Clawson, of Pennsylvania, aged thirty- two years, occupation cordwainer, on June 27, 1746, joined Captain Trent's company, recruit- ed for the expedition against Canada, and with that company went into winter quarters at Al- bany, New York, in the winter of 1746-47, and was discharged October 31, 1747, "the intend- ed expedition against Canada having been aban- doned." This was without doubt the John Closson who died in Warwick township, Penn- sylvania, as both he and his son, William, of Wrightstown, were by occupation "cordwain- ers." Letters of administration were granted on his estate to his widow, Sarah Closson, Jan- uary 14, 1757, with John Wilkinson and Joseph Sackett, of Wrightstown, as sureties. In her account of the estate, filed March 15, 1758, she is allowed a credit "for victualling, cloathing and schooling two children, from December 6, 1756, to the date of her settlement; and for payment of a bond and interest to Richard Furman, amounting to thirty-seven pounds, nineteen shillings, one pence." This Richard Furman was the father of Sarah Closson and belonged to the family of Furmans who had been long settled on Long Island and were prominently identified with the affairs of the English settlement in and near Newtown, Long Island. The children of John and Sarah (Fur- man) Closson : William, who died in 1784,

The common ancestor of the WIKOFF Wyckoff or Wikoff family in America was Pieter Claesz, son of Claes Cornellissen, who was brought from Holland to New Netherland by his father when he was nine years old. He settled in Flatlands, where he cultivated the bouwerie of Director-general Peter Stuyvesant in 1655, and where in 1653 and 1656 he had purchased for himself quite a large plantation. He was magistrate of Flatlands most of the time from 1655 to 1664, and a representative to the Mid- wout (now Flatbush) convention, which chose delegates to go to Holland and lay before the States General the distressed state of the coun-
try. He was also one of the patentees of Flat- lands named in the charters of 1667 and 1686. Shortly after the cession of New Netherland to the English in 1664, he adopted the surname of Wyckoff, or Wyk-hof, which literally means "the court of refuge," or the "refugee's home" and would indicate that his father came over to escape persecution. In the course of time this name has come to be spelt by its owners in various different ways, as Wyckoff, among the Somerset county, New Jersey, and the Long Island branches ; Wykoff, among the Monmouth county, New Jersey branches ; also Wicoff, Wikoff, Wickoff and Wycough.
