Revolver Association and United States Cav- alry Association. He has been a member of the Red Bank Board of Trade since its formation, and is now vice-president. He is also a mem- ber of the Monmouth Boat Club, and the Red Bank Golf Club, and of most of the fraternal and beneficiary orders in the town, besides being one of the organizers and a member of the Monmouth County Historical Society. He is also a member of the New Jersey State and of the Monmouth County Bar Associations. For the past twenty-five years he has been president of the board of trustees of the Bap- tist Church at Eatontown, New Jersey. He married, in New York City, October 17, 1888, Harriet Newell, daughter of Rev. Thomas Scott and Agnes (Wilson) Bradner, whose father was chaplain of the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Regiment of New York Vol- unteers in the civil war.
The name Neer is of Saxon origin, NEER and has a number of corruptions such as Neer, Near, Hehr, Nier, Neir, Naer, Neyer, Nyer and Neher. The original and the one most common in Ger- many is Näher, where it is found in the prov- inces along the Rhine and the Lutheran dis- tricts. They were an honest, industrious, thrifty and God-fearing people, and were among the later emigrants coming to America. They came from a country of vineyards, gar- dens and small farms, called the Lower Palati- nate of the Rhine. They were mostly farmers, but all trades, professions and occupations were represented among them. The climate was mild. The ruler was styled the Palatine. Until the Reformation his subjects were a happy, contented people, living in comfort and luxury. They followed their ruler when he championed the cause of Luther. Fierce relig- ious wars soon unsettled and impoverished them. The edict of Louis XIV of France made them in 1689 homeless and exiles. Their kind hearts and simple faith sustained them as they turned their faces in confidence towards Eng- land, where many found a haven for their sufferings. Dominie Kackerthal was instru- mental in bringing the Palatines to America. seeking to better their condition. The story is a sad one. In 1708 he induced fifty-one poor Lutherans from Lower Palatine to emigrate, and he settled them at Newburg on the Hud- son, which place was named in honor of their native hamlet, Neuberg, Germany. In 1709 he went to England seeking those who had made a home there. and with the co-operation

of the government marshalled thirty-two hun- dred of the poor Palatines. These were trans- ported to New York by Colonel Robert Hunter, who was later appointed governor of the prov- ince in 1710. They signed a contract agree- ing to settle on such lands as should be allotted them, and not leave without permission of the governor, and were to engage in the extraction of pitch for use in the navy, from the pine trees then in the wilderness in Columbia and Ulster counties. They were settled in camps in each of the counties. The government agreed to transport them to New York and subsist them for a year after their arrival; when they had paid the cost of the trip, each was to have forty acres of land free of tax and quit rent for seven years, and necessary seed and implements. Ten vessels were re- quired to transport them. The first act of these settlers was to build rude log houses for shel- ter and then clear the land. It was not long before they discovered that they had sold them- selves into a virtual slavery. The clause of their contract which granted them their lands only when they should have repaid the cost of their transportation was fatal to their liberty. It soon became apparent that these naval stores could not be produced on the Hudson so cheap- ly and of such quality as the British ministry had predicted, owing to the competition of the Swedish product, which was a better pitch.
The condition of the emigrants seemed sad and deplorable, and the other white settlers looked upon them as interlopers. Discontent, distrust and disappointment worked up to dis- ruption by 1713, and in 1714 the breaking up of the camps on the river was well under way. Governor Hunter concluded to make the Pala- tines shift for themselves. Judge Henry Beek- man and his son were alive to the situation of the emigrants. They were friends of Livings- ton, also of the governor, and they acquainted him with the result as reported by Governor Hunter to the home government on August 7, 1718, as to the disposition he had made of the Palatines settled in these camps, and that he had placed thirty-five families containing one hundred and forty persons, besides widows and children, in Ryn Beck. The name of this place was applied to all the Beekman patent. The farms laid out for the Palatines were small, some containing only twenty-five acres. Along the King's Highway from the German Church, north and south, the Nähers took their leases with others. It was a general notion that the Palatines were a mild, inoffen- sive, pusillanimous people who would submit
to any injustice rather than break peace. They soon found them entirely different. They were slow to anger, it is true, but once aroused they were strong in defense of their integrity. The women were Amazons and as full of fight for right as the men. Strong honest daughters of the hoe and plow, bare-armed, scant of skirt, and stout of limb from frequent jour- neys to Beekman's mills bearing the sack of grain to be floured, they were capable of hold- ing their own at any and all times. Both men and women were courageous. Their lands were the richest ever tilled, and with their simple economical habits a generation was sufficient to make them comfortable and well- to-do. They were wholly independent farmer .. proud of their calling, following their several trades as did the ancestor, Karl Näher.
(I) Karl Näher was born in 1672, in Lower Palatinate on the Rhine, died at Rhinebeck, Dutchess county, New York, January 25, 1733. aged sixty-one years. He came as a widower from Berkenfeldt, Trarbacher amts chur Pfalt- zicher (Herrschaft). He was a tanner and currier by trade, which he followed with farm- ing, after settling in Rhinebeck. This trade is stated in his second marriage record, which occurred shortly after his arrival. In 1711 he enlisted from Queensburg and was in the Can- ada expedition. He was one of the founders of the first Lutheran church of Rhinebeck. In 1723 he was taxed fourteen pounds fourteen pence among others in the Dutchess county tax list of that year, and in 1740 his son Franz was a freeholder. By his first marriage in Germany he had issue: Franz, married, 1724, Rebecca Cole, in Dutchess county ; children : i. Betsey, born 1726, married, November 8, 1747, Henrich Dater, son of George Dater ; ii. Johannes, born in Rhinebeck, October 10. 1735. Karl Näher married (second) August 29, 1710, by Rev. Joshua Kaeherthal, of Rhine- beck, Maria Apolonia Matthesen, daughter of Peter Kacherthal, of Ekers Wiel, Zueybricken. No record of issue by this marriage.

Sipperly. He resided for a time at East Al- bany. He married, November 22, 1752, Anna Barbara Treber (also given as Anna Rebecca Treber). Children: Sons : Charles and John ; daughters: Anna, baptized March 14, 1756; Catharine, September, 1761.
(III) Carl, or Charles (Carolus in records ), son of Barnert ( Barent in the records) Näher, was born about 1752. Charles entered the army at the beginning of the revolutionary war, and continued until its close. He was one of the sharpshooters in the famous black- plumed riflemen, a noted company of scouts connected with the Northern Division of the Army, and was noted as a marksman and for his great strength. It is said there was only one man in that division of the army his equal in physical strength. His brother John, who was twelve years old at the time of the war, did not enter the army. He was entirely the reverse of Charles in appearance, manner and disposition, but extremely hardy and robust, living to be about one hundred and six years of age .* Samuel's son, Dr. Henry C. Neer, of Park Ridge, New Jersey, frequently con- versed with him when he was one hundred years old, he being in full possession of his faculties and health, and full of interesting reminiscences. Charles was married to Cath- erine Hydlie, of Greenbush, New York, about or previous to the revolution, John being a wit- ness of the ceremony, which was performed in a church in Troy, New York. John was also the principal witness in an application for a pension which was granted to Charles and his widow. Some years after the war Charles located in Summit, Schoharie county, New York. His old friend and fellow scout, Tim Murphy, known as the "Injun Killer," located about six miles south.
Charles Näher had five sons: John. Charles, George, Samuel, and Philip; also five daugh- ters : Catherine, Mary, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Lany. He lived in his old age with Samuel on the old farm, and died at the age of seventy- seven years, of hip disease caused by injuries received in the army. He was described by his
son Samuel as being tall, straight, and of fine physique, with dark hair, blue or gray eyes, light complexion, and sandy beard. He was kind, industrious, temperate and noted for his integrity and honesty. His wife Catherine died November 10, 1848, aged eighty-eight years eleven months. She was under medium height, dark hair and eyes and complexion, very active, and retained her faculties and her eye sight perfectly until death.
(IV) Samuel Neer, son of Carl ( or Charles) and Catherine (Hydlie). Näher, was born in Greenbush, New York, June 6, 1790, and re- moved to Summit, New York, with his father when a child, reared on the homestead farm of his father, acquiring the common school edu- cation of a farmer's son at that period. He followed his chosen occupation of farming through life at the place where he was born, securing the property of his father through inheritance. He died on the town site of East Worcester, Otsego county, New York. During the war of 1812 he was orderly sergeant of a cavalry company, called "The Light Horse," and was on his way to take the field when peace was declared. He resembled his father in appearance, being six feet two inches tall, well proportioned, and of great strength. He married, August 23, 1812, Lucinda Morrison, born August 15, 1797, daughter of John and Sarah (Pindar) Morrison. John Morrison was a son of George Morrison, who was an Englishman, and married a Miss Colman, at Livingston Manor, on the Hudson, opposite Catskill. John Morrison married Sarah, daugh- ter of William Pinder, who was private secre- tary to Colonel Peter Livingston, progenitor of this manor. William Pinder came from England, and his wife was Mary Beekman, a sister of Judge Beekman, of Schoharie. Lu- cinda was born at Livingston Manor, and lived there until nearly grown up, when her father moved to Summit, locating near Charles Neer. When Samuel Neer was married, his educa-
tion was very limited, but his wife, having a good education, became his teacher, and he be- gan to study. His only time for study being nights, he often remained up nearly the whole night ( sometimes falling asleep over his work ). with the result of soon obtaining a fair busi- ness education and some local celebrity as a mathematician. He was early elected to office in the town in which he lived, and for nearly thirty consecutive years was kept serving the people in some capacity, of which sixteen years in succession was as justice of the peace, and liis reputation for judgment and integrity was

such that nearly all of the business in the vicinity came to his court, and it has been stated that none of his judgments were ever reversed by a higher court. His wife, an ener- getic, well informed woman, was of great assistance to him. Early in life, assisted by relatives and friends, a Lutheran church was established near his residence, and of which he was an active member. His wife, who had studied music at Livingston Manor and who was a fine singer, taught him to sing, for which he had a fine tenor voice, and their chil- dren, possessing more or less musical talent, the family possessed for many years a quar- tette of its own and were always prominent in church and social worship. Fifteen children were born to them, the first two dying at birth and the third living about three weeks. The remaining twelve were David, Catherine, Charles F., Sarah, Josephus, Cyrus, Mary B., Delaney, Jane Ann, John, Louisa, and Henry C., all of whom lived until after the death of both parents. Samuel Neer died at East Wor- cester, at the residence of his son Cyrus, with whom he was living, September 9, 1866. This was the first death in the family in more than fifty years. Lucinda Neer died at the same place, March II, 1869. Children of Samuel Neer : I. David, born April 23, 1817, of whom below. 2.

(V) David Neer, eldest child of Samuel and Lucinda (Morrison) Neer, was born at Summit, Schoharie county, New York, April 23, 1817, died September 23, 1877. He work-
ed on his father's farm, and in his father's sawmill, attended district school, and became a school teacher ; went to Georgia on account of poor health, and was a bookkeeper in the office of a large cotton planter in Savannah harbor ; came north and studied medicine with Dr. Rafferty of Carbondale, Pennsylvania, later attended the Medical College at Castle- ton, Vermont, and graduated in 1846. Abstract from article in Paterson Daily Guardian of September 24, 1877 :
"David Neer was born in the town of Sum- mit, Schoharie county, New York, 1817. He graduated from the Medical College at Castle- ton, Vermont, 1846, practiced for about five years in his native town, and then came to Paterson. He was a somewhat remarkable man, and has had for the past ten or fifteen years more practice than any other physician in Paterson. In obstetrics he performed mir- acles, one year having three hundred and sev- enty successful cases ; and his average for the past twenty years was fully two hundred. It is estimated that he has officiated in bringing into the world between four thousand and five thousand human beings at the very lowest calculation, and rarely lost a case. In practice he was independent; he graduated from an allopathic college, but after practicing for some years took up the study of homoeopathy, and of late years has generally followed that school, although he still stuck to the old system in some things. His doctrine was to disregard all "pathies," and take the treatment and rem- edy which he thought best adapted to the patient ; and the results show that he was in a good measure right, for in comparison with his practice he had fewer cases of mortality than any other physician in Paterson by long odds. He took everything new that came out in the line of his profession, and was always studying new medicines. He appeared to be continually poring over his books. If patients were poor or unfortunate, he would send them a receipted bill or tell them to pay him when they could and not before. As in medicine so in politics, religion, and everything else, he was independent. He was a member of the Lutheran church in Summit, and joined the Second Dutch Reformed Church of Paterson. Of late years the family have attended the Market Street Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a charter member and the first wor- shipful master of Benevolent Lodge, No. 45, F. and A. M., Paterson."

(V) Henry Crippen Neer, youngest child and son of Samuel and Lucinda ( Morrison) Neer, was born at Summit, Schoharie county, New York, November 10, 1839. He was edu- cated in the public schools of his native town, subsequently attending the New York Confer- ence Seminary. He studied medicine in the office of Dr. David Neer, of Paterson, New Jersey, and while a young man taught public and singing schools to assist him in paying his expenses. In 1860 he was graduated from the Berkshire Medical Institute with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Since November of that year he has been actively and successfully en- gaged in the practice of his profession, resid- ing at Park Ridge, New Jersey, since the spring of 1865. Dr. Neer is one of the oldest and best known physicians in Bergen county, and during his entire life has maintained a high reputation for ability, probity and integrity of character. He is a member (and ex-presi- dent ) of the Bergen County Medical Society, New Jersey State Medical Society (permanent delegate), American Medical Association, non- resident fellow of New York Academy of Medicine. He was a charter member of Friendship Lodge, No. 102, F. and A. M., and was its first worshipful master, serving in that capacity for about twelve years. As a citizen he is universally respected. Dr. Neer married, June 16, 1861, Louisa Ann, born October 22, 1840, daughter of Cornelius, born June 21, 1806, died June 2, 1858, and Axena (Smith) Terpenning, born January 22, 1809, died June 12, 1900.
