ground on the Wesel road, a short distance south of Market street,1 bears the sentiment :

WHEN OVERWHELMED WITH GRIEF MY HEART WITHIN ME DIES HELPLESS AND FAR FROM ALL ON EARTH TO HEAVEN I LIFT MINE EYES.

Michael Hartman Vreeland lived in a stone house be- tween the Boulevard and the Passaic river, a short distance south of Twentieth avenue. Until 1893 the cellar excava- tion was still plainly visible to passengers on the New York, Susquehanna and Western railroad. In that house his children were born, and there he died, in May, 1804. He had a tannery on the brook running through his lands. In his will (dated January 14, 1804, witnessed by Peter Merse- lius, Henry Post and John C. Vreeland ; proved May 22, 1804), he describes himself as of Wesel .? He authorizes his executors (his wife Lena, his son Hartman and his friend Abraham Willis) to sell the following lands in order to pay debts: "One Lot lying at Wesel, being cleared, bounded on the east by land of the heirs of Michael Vreeland, deceased, on the south by land of Cornelius Vreeland, Esq., 3 on the west by land of Encrease Gould, Esq., and on the north by lands of Henry I. Speer and --- Hopper, containing eighteen acres more or less ; also one lot of land adjoining the house lot of said Henry I. Speer, bounded easterly and northerly by lands of the said Henry I Speer, and southerly by lands of Cornelius Vreeland, Esq., and westerly by lands of Encrease Gould, Esq., containing seven acres more or less."

He disposed of the rest of his property as follows :

To my daughter Jane [in fee], all the household furniture and wearing apparel of ber mother Gerritje, deceased, with two silver table spoons and silver sugar tongs and five silver tea spoons, which are the goods of her said mother brought with her, and I give to my three children, Mary, Hartman and Michael, each two silver table spoons.

To my loving wife, Lena Vreeland, during her lifetime or widow- hood, the use of all my estate both real and personal for the maintenance of herself and of my children. .

To my son Hartman Vreeland, [in fee], the west end of my lot of land lying in the Bouth whereon the said Hartman is now building, to extend the full width of the lot from the Boughth road and eastwardly nine- teen chains.4

I give and bequeath to my son Michael Vreeland, his heirs and as- signs forever, the remainder of the ab. said lot extending eastwardly the full width of my lot and the lot of my brotber Cornelius Vreeland-also . all that lot lying on the north side of the public roads adjoining the west

end of Isaac Kip's lot that I have heretofore purchased of Samuel Seeley, containing 8.96 acres. Also one other lot that I purchased of Jacob H. Vreeland adjoining the west end of the last mentioned to tbe east end of John I. Post's land, and on the south the aforesaid road, containing 8.96 acres.1 Item. I give and bequeath to my two above mentioned sous, Hartman and Michael Vreeland, their heirs and assigns forever, to be equally divided between tbem, share and share alike, all that my meadow lot and wood lot lying partly on the north side of the Long Meadow, bounded east by land of Peter Merselius, south by land of John Merselius, west by land of the Society, nortb by land of said Society and John I. Post, containing about forty-three acres more or less.2

Item. I give and bequeath to my three younger sons, namely, John, Nicholas and Cornelius, children by my last wife, to them, their heirs and assigns forever, all that my house that I now dwell in and the lot thereunto belonging, witb also all and singular the residue of my lands not hereinbefore mentioned, lying in several lots as the same was divided between my brother Cornelius Vreeland and myself, at a place called the Three Corner Lot,3 to be equally divided between them my three sons, share and share alike, but if either or any of them should die before they become of age and without heirs, then my will is that his or their share or sbares shall fall to the survivor or survivors of them the said Johu, Nicholas and Cornelius.

Item. My will further is that my son Hartman pay to my daughter Mary, wife of Jacob Van Riper, the sum of one hundred dollars, and that at seven years after the death or remarriage of my said wife Lenah. And that my son Michael pay to my daughter Jane the sum of one hundred dollars, and that at seven years after the death or re-marriage of my said wife Lenah, which said sums I order to be paid as above to my said two daughters their heirs and assigns.

Item. My will further is that my three younger sons, namely, John, Nicbolas and Cornelius, or the survivor or survivors of them, pay to my daughter Elizabeth, the sum of one hundred dollars, and that within three years after the youngest of them shall become of age. . .

Item. I give and bequeath (after the death or remarriage of my wife) to my son Michael, his heirs and assigns forever, my negro man Sam.

Item. I give and bequeath to my daughter Jane, at ber marriage my little negro wench named Jealles, aged about two months. . . . To my tbree youngest sons, John, Nicholas and Cornelius, my little Negro boy, Harry, aged seven years. . . . To my son Nicholas, my bay colt. ...

II. Cornelius ; he was born in the stone house formerly standing on the east side of the Boulevard, between Twentieth and Twenty-first avenues ; he subsequently built and occupied the stone house near the corner of Twenty- first avenue and East Forty-seond street, now owned by Peter A. Van Houten. He was a man of superior educa- tion, and held the office of justice of the peace for many years, being usually described in deeds as Cornelius Vree- land, Esq. He m. Elizabeth Vreeland. He was stricken with paralysis about seven years before his death, and was bed-ridden thereafter. He carried on his father's tannery, and also had a saw-mill on the brook near the corner of the present Boulevard and Twentieth avenue. His will is dated July 29, 1824; codicil, May 31, 1826 ; proved Oct. 15, 1827; witnessed by Bryant Sheys (who taught in the old Wesel school-house about this time), Robert Blair, jun., and Wil- liam W. Smith. Following is an abstract of the will :

To wife Elizabeth all my real and personal estate to be used by ber during ber natural life, and the use of a certain legacy bequeathed to her by tbe last will and testameut of ber aunt, Vrouwtje Banta, except-

4 On the northeast corner of Broadway and East Eighteenth street, afterwards occupied by Hartman's son-in-law, Albert Van Houten. The house which Hartman was building in 1804, stood directly across Broadway east of East Eighteenth street. It was removed to a site about two hundred feet south when Broadway was widened and straightened, about 1868-70, and was subsequently fitted up by Mr. John J. Brown for a private school, which was carried on for many years by Mrs. George C. Tallman. The tract mentioned in the will was part of Lot No. 8, East, sbown on the map on page 71. The " Boughth road " was substantially the present East Eighteenth street.

V. Beeltje, m. David Blair, an Irishman, who came to this country about 1769, with his brother Robert. His marriage bond was dated March 17, 1783. The marriage of his daughter to an Irishman was so distasteful to Beeltje's father that he would scarcely speak to her afterwards. Blair kept tavern in a stone house on the west side of Vree- land avenue, about two hundred yards north of the brook, or near Eighteenth_avenue. He built a frame addition, in which he carried on weaving, in a small way. Issue :

Henry G. Garrison and Peggy Blair, his wife, are buried at Sandy Hill. His tombstone has this remarkable verse : Go home my wife and children dear For I am not dead hut sleeping here Afflictions here long time I bore

Physicians were all in vain I will remain here till Christ appear

To meet in heaven again.

On Peggy's tombstone is the familiar quatrain :

Weep not for me my children dear

Cornelius lived in a long stone house with hip-roof, which had been built by the Van Blarcoms, before the Revolution, on the south side of Willis street, a short distance west of Vreeland avenue. As his family increased, he built a brick house adjoining. Both were torn down about 1870. His residence was the scene of many a festive gathering in by-gone days, especially on the occasion of the marriage of any of his children. After the hospitable man- ner of the time, when his sons married there was first a "wedding" at the house of the bride, and the next day all the friends repaired to the house of the bridegroom, and made merry. Cornelius was so extremely deliberate in all his movements that he was dubbed "Captain Slow," which he took in good part, and it was a cause of regret to his neighbors when he removed to Godwinville, to be near his children, most of whom were employed in the cotton mill there. He died in that vicinity.
