HISTORY OF PATERSON.
West India Company, to whom nineteen persons presented a petition, August 22, 1661, for tracts of land on the south side, in order to establish a village, which was allowed by the Company, Captain Post being one of the grantees.1 It is probable, however, that he did not avail himself of the grant, but removed to Bergen about this time, if, indeed, he was not already a resident there. In 1662 he was one of petitioners to have a clergyman settled at Bergen, and promised to contribute twenty florins therefor yearly. 2 Under date of December 28, 1662, he, with others, peti- tioned the Director-General and Council to protect the in- habitants of Bergen and Communipaw against the attempts of various individuals to fence in the common lands ;3 and on January 4, 1663, he and two others selected by their neighbors for the purpose, appeared before the Council to support this petition.4 Under date of June 30, 1663, upon the nomination of his neighbors, he was confirmed as ensign for the village of Bergen.5 On August 30, 1663, he petitioned for a grant of some low lands at Bergen, and sur- veys thereof were ordered to be made.6 Post received from Governor Philip Carteret, May 12, 1668, a patent for fifty-five acres of land at and about Bergen;7 being probably the same tract which he had received from the Dutch authorities. On May 18, 1671, we find him sworn on a jury to serve at a special court at Elizabethtown.8 On September 4, 1673, when the Dutch reoccupied New Jersey as part of New Nether- lands, the Council of War appointed Post ensign for Bergen. 9 This does not seem to have affected his standing with the Eng- lish, for after they recovered possession of New Jersey and New York, Post was commissioned, July 16, 1675, lieuten- ant of the militia at Bergen.10 His adventurous life ended at Bergen, February 28, 1677. During his lifetime, Capt. Post had executed two mortgages upon all his estate, move- able and immoveable, October 17, 1662, and May 9, 1662, for twenty-nine thousand six hundred and fifty-six guilders, to Cornelius Steenwick, an eminent merchant of New York. His family were unable to pay these obligations, and he having died intestate, they declined to administer, where- upon Governor Carteret appointed Steenwick administrator of his estate. 11
The records do not give us the name of Madam Post, who shared the Captain's fortunes and misfortunes with the bravery of a true heroine; nor do they inform us who were the five children who accompanied them from Holland. It is probable that these were all young.

Second Generation.
Capt. Adrian Post had children :
I. Adrian, b. in Holland; came to America in 1650, with his parents; m. Catrintje (Catrina) Gerrits, April 17, 1677 ; he was one of the petitioners for the Acquackanonk Patent, May 30, 1684 ;1 was named in the Patent as one of the grantees ; he was elected deacon of the Acquackanonk church in 1706. He was no longer living in March, 1713, when Symon Jacobsen van Winkel received a release from the surviving patentees of Acquackanonk.2 It is not easy to say with precision just where he lived.

VI. Margarit, bap. June 6, 1657.
VII. Francoys, bap. March 3, 1659; m. Maritje Kobis (Cobus, or Jacobus), April 22, 1690. It is probable that he was an early settler at Acquackanonk. In 1695 he was chosen deacon of the church, and elder in 1699, 1705, 17II, 1716. He appears to have beeen a man of substance, for on April 4, 1696, Hans Dedrickes, of the town of Bergen, conveys to "ffrancis Post of the township of Aquecke- nonge," consideration £31 5s., current money of New Jersey, a " certaine parcell of Land Lyeing and being in the town- ship of Aqueckenong ... betwixt Adrian Post, and Jurian Thomas being of the hundred [acre] Lotts and is Numbered Two, together with the full and Absolute Right and privileges of the halfe of the fourteenth part of the comoniage, according to the whole of the purchase of Aquakenonge."4 Two years later, April 26, 1698, Cornelius Lubberts, of Bergen, for £30, conveys to "Franss Post of ye town of Achquikanuncque," "a certain lot or parcel of Land Containing one hundred acres lying within ye Pattent of Aquckononque above said being ye whole breadth of lott No. 10 & half ye breadth of ye No. 9 together with ye eight & twentieth part of ye rights of commons of ye sd town of Aquechkonunque according to aggrement made by ye Patentees to parties of said Patent wth its rights titles privileges & appurtenances unto said parcel of Land be- longing or in any manner or way appertaining." This deed was acknowledged before Enoch Michaelse, Esq.5 These two deeds gave Post an equal fourteenth part of the un- divided lands of Acquackanonk. In 17II (November 27) he with seven others bought 2,800 acres of land on Stony Road.

Third Generation.
Adrian-Adrian Post had children :
I. Adrian, b. Jan. 24, 1678; m. Elizabeth Merselis,

2 The Adrian Post mentioned in the receipts for quit-rents in 1712 and subsequently, on pp. 78-79, must have been of the next generation.

II. Garrit, bap. Jan. I, 1680; m. Ist, Lea Straet, Dec. 25, 1704; 2d, Fransyntje Peterse, Jan. 4, 1726; elected deacon in 1718, and elder in 1726.

V. Pieter, bap. Oct. 21, 1638, m. Catharina (Catelyntje) Beekman, Dec. 8, 1710. There is reason to believe that this Pieter Post was the same who by deeds of lease and release, dated May 3-4, 1736, bought from Richard Ash- field, of New York, a tract of 428 acres "at Wanuch [Wanaque] adjoining Cornelius and Jacobus Blinkerhoff on the Paquanack, Pomtan and Packhack rivers."1 He doubt- less established a grist and saw mill soon after his settle- ment, which was carried on afterwards by his son, Peter Post, miller ; the latter sold, March 3, 1770, to Gorlyne Doremus, of Pequanack, yeoman, a tract of twenty acres, including "where the old house of said Peter Post now stands."2 From the first Peter Post proceeded the Posts of Pompton and West Milford. By his will, dated Decem- ber 3, 1757, but not proved until April 25, 1783, it appears that Pieter had married a second time. The following is his will :

It does not mention his wife, who was probably dead when it was written. He dis- posed of his property as follows :

Frans-Adrian Post and Maritje Kobis (Jacobus) had chil- dren :
I. Adrian, bap. March 29, 1692; m. Tryntje Xanders (Catharina Sanders) ; he was chosen deacon in 1738. In the subdivision of the Bogt tract in 1714, he received Lots II and 12 West. (See p. 75 ante. )
II. Jacobus, m. Maritje Christyn. He owned Lot No. 4, West, in the Bogt subdivision. (See pp. 72-73, ante.) He was elected deacon of the Acquackanonk church in 1741, and was one of the first elders of the Totowa church, in 1756. He settled near Little Falls at an early day, where he had a grist mill and a saw mill of some prominence. In laying out a road in 1750 from Horseneck to Little Falls, the surveyors of the highways met "at the mills of Jacobus Post."

Joliannes F. X Post [L. S.] bis mark. IV. Hendrik, m. Elizabeth Christyn, Dec. 25, 1728; he lived at Acquackanonk, and she at Hackensack, at the· time of their marriage. He owned and occupied the farm on the Wesel road, being the second farm south of Market street, now owned by ex-Judge John N. Terhune, and which then extended from the river to the Wesel mountain. He also owned Lot No. 3, West, in the Bogt subdivision. (See p. 73 ante. ) He was called "Oude Hank"-old Henry-Post, to distinguish him from others of the same name. His will, dated May 27, 1777, proved January 13, 1790, is as fol- lows :

Fourth Generation.
Adrian-Adrian-Adrian Post and Elizabeth Merselis had issue :
I. Adrian, b. in New York; m. Ist, Martje Thomasse (Van Rypen), Jan. 9, 1730; both were of Acquackanonk at the time; 2d, Jannetje, dau. of Hendrick Gerritse (van Wagoner), Feb. 23, 1739. He was called Adrian A. Post, or Adrian Post, Jun. He was a baker by trade. In part- nership with his brother-in-law, Jurian Thomasse (Van Ry- pen), he bought from the Indians the Island and river bot- tom below the Falls, near the present West street bridge, in Paterson, the conveyance being as follows :
I Tachthochear native of America have given granted bargained sold and confirmed .... unto Jurian Thomasse of the county of Bergen yeoman and Adrian A. Post of Essex county baker all that the stream and Bottom of the river commonly known by the name of Pesaik river to wit Beginning at the lowermost or northeasterly end of the Island (which lays in said River a little above the place where the Bridge form- erly laid over said River) and so up stream of said river to the upper- most or southwesterly end of said Island with all the rocks stones and all the benefits privileges . . for and in consideration of 20 shillings current money of said Province.

This purchase was undoubtedly made with the intention of erecting a grist mill; but, for reasons which will appear hereafter, the project was not carried out by Post and Thomasse. It was doubtless, however, in pursuance of this scheme that Post soon after acquired a mill-seat at Slooter- dam, on the east bank of the Passaic river, at the present Dundee dam. This he probably secured either from or in partnership with Joost (Joseph) Coch, whose name is some- times written Kugh, or Kough. By deed (unrecorded) da- ted March 25, 1765, for the consideration of £475, Joost Coch, alias Kuglı, of Saddle River, yeoman, gives, grants, bargains and sells unto Adriaen Post, of Saddle River, miller :
