A certain Grace Harrison was assessed for an acre of land in 1735, lo- cated in the township of Franklin, at Rocky Hill.

Francis Harrison, supposed to be one of John's sons, succeeded him at Rocky Hill. Ils was an excellent writer, and a ceroner in Somerset County in 1729. In the same year he circulated n subscription from Rocky Hill down the old path to the Raritan, and on both sides of the river to Bound Brook, obtaining subscribers te it, to raise money fer the purpose of calling a minister from Holland for the congregation of Three- Mile Run, of which he seems to have been an active supporter. His father was an Episcopalian. Francis appears to have had a sen John, who in Rev. John Frelinghuysen's time (1752) was a supporter of the old church of Six-Mile Run while it was located at the brook. The old Indian path ran through the whele of the upper and a part of the lower section of the Harrison tract.

THE HAGEMAN FAMILY. .

As early as 1703, Dollies, Denice, Adrian, and Jacobus Hageman, grand- sens of Aaron* the emigrant, appear to have located at Six-Mile Run and its vicinity. Adrian married Maria, a daughter of John Vleet, whose lands joined his on the north, purchased land, and huilt & house where Joba Garretson resides, on the Somerset side of the old path. He had sons-Hendrick, Adrian, Joseph, Simon, Jacohus, and Benjamin- and daughters,-Gnertie, who married John Manley; Mary, Adrian Hageman ; and Catharine, Samuel Waldron. Ile was buried about 300 yards west of his dwelling, along the line between his and the old Stryker property, where his wife, Mary, and ethers of the family were also buried. In his will, proved July 27, 1762, he left his real estate to his sons Ben- jamin aod Simon,-to Benjamin, the parts on which the buildings were ; to Simon, that part where Henry P. Cortelyon now livee.

Benjamin's first wife's name was Sarah, and they lived en the leme- stead. His children were Mary, whe married Jacob Skillman ; Jane, Cornelius Waldron ; and Gertrude, John P. Nevius, who removed to Wes- tern New York; Adrian, who married Frances Wyckoff and lived and died at Six-Mile Run; Benjamin (2d), who married Lena Garretson, of Middlebush.

Simon married Ida Suydam and meved te Ohie; William had three wives, and lived and died at Three-Mile Run ; Isaac married Maria Van Derveer, and lived and died at Harlingen ; Peter married Nancy Suydam, lived, owned, and died.on the homestead. He had three children,-Sarah, whe lived and died single; Benjamin, who moved to Dayton, Ohio, and married there. He was captain of a rifle company raised in Franklin township, and was a hrave officer. He was afterwarde appointed major of the Secend Battalion, Third Regiment, of Somerset Brigade, commanded by Cel. Barcalew.

Adrian, the first settler, was succeeded on the homestead by his sen Benjamin, he by his son Peter, he by Abraham Bodine, he by Hoppock, whe enlarged and remodeled the eld house, and he by John Garretson, who owns and has resided on the property for about twenty years.

The farm of ex-Sheriff Voorhees, lying in the rear of the homestend, extending to the Middlebush rond, and first settled en hy Ryke Suydam, then containing 158 acres, was a part of the original Hageman tract.

In 1766, Simon, the son ef Adrian, lived in n honse built on his half of the old tract, on the site new occupied by Henry P. Cortelyou. Although singular, nothing further has been traced connected with his family or his children. IIe was succeeded en the pince by Benjamin (2d), son of Benjamin (Ist), who married Lena Garretsen, of Middlebush, and who resided on it until his death. He was succeeded by Dr. Wilkina, whe built a new house thereon ; he by Henry P. Cortelyou, new residing on the property, who enlarged the house, improved the outbuildings, and made many other important changes, among which is the Inrge and beautiful Inwn with its many green trees, from which it has been very appropriately named " Greenlawn Farm."

Aaren IIngeman came in possession, and owned for a time the rear parts of the tract which extended to the Middlebush rend, and built en it. It is now owned by Abraluun Voorhees, president of the State Bank, at New Brunswick. Ilenry Bound owned and lived on a part lying near the middlo of the old tract, which has lind the following ownere : Adrian

* Aaron Ilageman and Catharine, his wife, came from Holland, resided in New Amsterdam a short time, and then settled at Flatbush in 1661. Ile died in 1672.

Rongamin BHageman

DoLIS or Dollius, Nyse or Denyse, Adrian, and Jacobus Hegeman, of the Raritans and vicinity of New Brunswick in 1703, were sons of Denyse and Liurstia Ilegeman, of Flatbush, and grandsons of Adrian, the emigrant, who came over in 1650 or 1651 and settled in Flatbush.

The subject of this sketch is a grandson of Benja- min Hegeman, and a great-grandson of Adrian Hege- man, who served in the Revolutionary war. The former occupied the old homestead of the family at Six-Mile Run, where John Garretson now resides. His first wife, Gertrude, bore him five sons and three daughters. The sons were Adrian, Benjamin, Peter, Simon, and William. Ann died aged eighteen ; Mary married Jacob Skillman ; and Jane, Cornelius Waldron. For a second wife he married the widow Sarah Brown, and had a son, Isaac, and a daughter, Gertrude, who married John Nevius. He died June 1-4, 180-1, over seventy-three years of age, and was buried on his own farm. His first wife died Feb. 6. 1777.

Benjamin, father of our subject, was born on the old homestead in 1762. He married Magdalene, daughter of Bernardus and Leah Garretson, in 1809, and had two sons, Bernardus G., born Jan. 5, 1810, died April 14, 1864, unmarried, and Benjamin B. Mr. Hageman died Feb. 15, 1829, aged sixty-seven. His wife died April 19, 1814, aged forty years five months and twenty-four days.

Benjamin B. Hageman was born on the north-

eastern half of the old homestead, where Henry P. Cortelyou now resides, March 2, 1812. When two years of age his mother died, and he was taken to the old Garretson homestead at Middlebush, where he now resides, and which has been in the possession of the descendants of that family since Feb. 11, 1756. He grew up on the farm and attended the common schools of his day. In February, 1845, he married Jane Ann, daughter of Samuel V. T. and Catherine (Smith) Van Wickle, of Middlesex County, and for sixteen years engaged in farming operations near Somerville. March 20, 1861, he returned to the Garretson homestead in Franklin township, erecting his attractive residence the same year. His barns were built in 1876-77.

Mr. Hageman is of a quiet and unostentatious temperament, and, while he has always taken a deep interest in events transpiring around him, he has kept aloof from the strifes and contentions of public life. He is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Reformed Church of Middlebush. Hle is recognized as a man of integrity in all the relations of life, and enjoys the confidence and respect of all. Ilis chil- dren are Garretson, a graduate of Rutgers College in 1868, residing on the home farm, engaged in survey- ing and civil engineering and notary ; and Samuel Van Wickle, born July 13, 1853, and died March 25, 1-78, a graduate of Eastman's Business College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., in 1874.

Hendrick Flshor was born in 1697, In the Palatinate, and emigrated to this country as a young man. He was received into the church In 1721, and was soon oppointed a deacon, then an elder, and con- tinned an ardent friend of Rev. T. J. Frelinghuysen until his death. A mechanic by trado, he was yet a man of more than ordinary intel- ligence und capacity for business. In civil life he was one of the most influential men of his day. When, on mution of the legislativo bodies of Massachusetts and Ithode Island, a congress was called to meet in New York on the first Tuesday of October, 1765, Hendrick Fisher was one of the three men whom New Jersey sont. He continued to represent New Jersey In Congress until the Declaration of Independence. Hle re- sided below Bound Brook, on the south side of the river, and the home- atvad is now owned by Abraham 1. Brokaw.

Cornelius married Abigeltie Lefferta and lind a daughter Marla, who died when about twenty. The other four brothers all settled, or at least lived for a time, along the Itaritan and Millatone Rivera, at what precise dates we are un- ablo tu stato, but probably when young men. They were there married and settled In Hfe from 1735 to 1745. One account states that the mill next abovo Millatonn (long called Blackwell's) wna owned by the Schencke as early na 1730. If so, it must have been by the father of theav brothers, as another necount, of 1745, speaks of them as " tho newly-erected mills of Hendrick Schenck."

Johannes married, Oct. 25, 1746, Neltin Romson, of Long Island, settled at what ia now called Branchville, and had there n farm, mill, and storo.

George Schenck, of Bedminster.

Peter married Marla Vulkerson, Ilved near Millstone, and probably owned both the mills at Weston and Blackwell's, at which last place he kept a storo.

A son, John P., married a Miss Lonre, and bad n daughter, Maria, who died unmarried. Of the daughters, Mary married Archibald Mercer, of New York, and Gertrude married n Mr. Tyson, of St. Kitts.

Opposito the house of Daniel D. Stelle, and on the Somerset alde of the old road, in 1766, was a tavern kept by Adrian Manley, afterwarda by a Mershon, and lastly by n Widow Sclover. About 1810 the property was purchased by Dr. Ferdinand S. Schenck, f who purchased adjoining lands until he obtained a good-sized farm. In 1818 he took down the old tavern-house, in which he had realded, and built the one In which Daniel D. Stolle now reaidea, with the outbuildings. The doctor a short time before his denth enlarged and modernized tho dwelling-house and brought it to the condition in which It Is now seen.

THE DE HART FAMILY.

Among the enrly settlers along the old Indian path was Cornellua De Hart, n son uf Simon De Hart, of Fronch origin, who came to thla country in 1664, and bought prior to 1673 a farm of about 300 neres at Gowanns, 1 .. T. He had sons,-Simon, who remained thero ; Elyas, who settled in Monmouth Co., N. J.,-nlav a grandson, Cornelius, who In 1720 settled at Six-Mile Run, Middlesex Co., N. J.

Cornelius purchased of the Indiana 210 acres of land, but was compelled to repurchase it from the proprietor, paying twice, therefore, for the same property. He had sons and several daughter; some of his sona died early, His sons who survived were Cornelius, Gulsbert, and Abra- ham. After the death of the father, Cornelius owned and lived on tho one-tlilril part of the land now in the possession of Charles Dunham.

SOMERSET COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

Cornelius located in the woods at the upper forks of the Six-Mile Run. He was a quecessful deer-hunter, and his large shot-gun, nearly eight feet long, has been preserved in the family. With his near neighbors, Simon Wyckoff, John Vleet, und Adrian Hageman, he signed the paper con- taiuing the complaint against the Rev. T. J. Frelinghuysen. They be- longed to the party in the church called the Conferentie.

Guisbert never married, and lived with his brother Abraham until his decease. Abraham owned at his death 376 acres, besides 111 at Law- rence's Brook. He married Sarah Van Cleef, daughter of John Van Cleef, Sr., and died Aug. 21, 1832, in his seventy-fourth year. Sarah survived him, and died Oct. 7, 1844, in her eighty-seventh year. Their children were John, who married Anna Ayers, and died May 13, 1819, in his twenty-sixth year; Cornelius, who died Sept. 18, 1805, aged nine yearsand six months; Moyea, born Aug. 20, 1791, died June 16, 1868, mar- ried Peter P., son of Peter Van Doren, of Millstone, end a grandson of Christian Van Doren, one of the first settlers of Middlebush.

After the death of Abraham De Hart his heirs sold the Lawrence's Brook land of 111 acres, leaving the homestead to contain 376 acree, being the largest old-times farm in the township.

Peter P. Van Doren, the husband of Moyea, died Feb. 16, 1857, in his eeventy-third year, Moyca in her seventy-sixth, after which the estate was inherited by their daughters, Margaret and Sarah Ann, who, with John S. Voorhees, the husband of Sarah, have resided on it. '

Adjoining the De Hart property on the north, in 1766, nearly opposite to the house of the present John W. Williamson, across the old path, was the house of John Pyatt, who appears to have married in one of the Wyckoff families. He was sueeeeded on the place by Rynear Merrill, and he by Isaac Silcocks. At the commencement of the present eentury the old house was taken down. The name of Pyatt appears to have be- come extinct in this section of the country. The Pyatt property is now owned by Frank Pennel, a house having been creeted recently a few yards north of the old one, in which he resides.

THE CORTELYOU FAMILY.

Jacques Cortelyou (sometimes written Cortillean) arrived in New Am- sterdam in 1651 or 1652, with Cornelius Van Werkhoven, as private tutor to hie children. Hie wife was Neltje Van Duyn, and both were of French extraction. Hie children were Jacques, Peter, Cornelins, Helena, Maria, and William.

Voorhees now resides. Jucques (Ist) is represented as having been somewhat ein- gular and eccentric in his ways.

The Cortelyou families in this section have heen uniformly distin-

guiebed for industry, economy, peaceful demeanor as eitizens, and their friendship to the prosperity of the Church and her institutions.

THE SUYDAM FAMILY.

Among the many sdventurers from Holland to seek a home in the wilds of New Netherlands were Abrm. Guysbert and Rynear and Hen- drick Rycken, from whom the Ryker and Suydam families in New York and other States have descended.

His son Ryke removed to Six-Mile Run, Somerset Co., N. J., about 1728, and settled on 158 acres of land on the western corner of lot No. 7, which he received in exchange for about the same number of acres which he purchased of Joost Schomp, lying opposite to it, and along the path on which Adrian Hageman built, lived, and died. Ryke died in 1798, aged ninety-five; his children tvere Peter, Jacobus, Ahrani, Isaac, Ryke, Mary, and Ida, of whom Peter (Ist) in 1743 purchased a lot of land of Peter Southard and built a house thereon, standing in 1766 across the road and nearly opposite to where John Gar- retson, Sr., now resides.
