1 Opposite the entry of this marriage, in the Acquackanonk Church record, is the note in Dom. Van Driessen's bold chirography: "8 Schell. Shuldigh Gebleeven"-"8 shillings remains unpaid." When this was pointed out recently to a descendant of the couple he humorously de- clared that the deht was outlawed !

1 This was a difficult name for the Dutch clerk to write. His first effort resulted in Tsyems Tstyanse, which would be very nearly correct, using the letters with the Dutch pronunciation to express the name phonetically. His second effort was an attempt to write the name as in English, and his third was simply a translation.

VI. Isaak, bap. May 9, 1736; m. Sarah Kearns (Cairns, Cernes), Jan. 2, 1756. She was of Scotch birth or ancestry, and was born Dec. 16, 1735. He sympathized with the British during the Revolution, and being outspoken in his admiration for King George was considered fair prey by the American soldiers. One day a foraging party entered his house and stripped it of everything in the way of provender. As they were marching off, Mrs. Van Blarcom, whose Scotch blood was thoroughly aroused, came running after them, with three or four of her little children. "What do you want ?" inquired an officer. "Your soldiers have carried away all the food in my house. I have nothing left to feed my children; so, you had better take them, too." The story has its proper artistic ending, in the restitution of the sol- diers' spoil.
Jan-Gysbert-Jan Lubbertsen and Vrouwetjen Kip had children:
I. Hendrick, bap. May 18, 1740 (Hackensack); m. Ist, Annaatje Van Winkel, Nov. 20, 1763, both being of Acquack-
anonk; 2d, Elizabeth Goetschius. He lived on his father's farm on Willis street, a short distance west of Vreeland ave- nue. He enlisted in the army at the beginning of the Rev- olution, serving as a private in the State militia, and after- wards in Col. Oliver Spencer's Regiment, in the Continen- tal army.1 There is a very pleasant family tradition pre- served of him, to the effect that when the American army evacuated Fort Lee, and was in retreat, Van Blarcom took on his back Paul Rutan, a wounded drummer boy, and swam with him across a broad stream (probably Overpeck creek), drum and all. Paul was the son of a friend who lived in the Bogt, near the present East Eighteenth street and Sev- enth avenue, Paterson. Subsequently Hendrick became a Captain, and is known in the family tradition as Capt. Henry Van Blarcom. He was a shoemaker, having his shop in a stone building directly on the road (Willis street), in front of his dwelling. In connection with his trade he also had a tan-yard, where he made leather to be used in his shoe-making. In the division of property between him and his brothers Anthony and Nicholas, Dec. 15, 1786, he was allotted five acres of land, with these buildings. Capt. Van Blarcom was very tall, and had an erect, military bearing.
II. Anthony, m. Annaatje Kool (? Koock). Anthony was a "yeoman," and likewise a "cordwainer," and had a farm of forty acres on which he resided, on the north side of Willis street, extending from the Peace and Plenty tav- ern, at the corner of East Eighteenth street, for several hun- dred feet westerly. He sold his farm in small parcels, from time to time; the site of the old Roman Catholic burying ground, at the northwest corner of Willis and William streets (the latter now called Graham avenue) was conveyed by him in 1792. He and Nicholas called the locality "New Greenwich," in 1786. Subsequently, Anthony took up his residence in New York for a time. He was living there when he and his wife conveyed, May I, 18II, to Gerrebrant Van Houten, of Saddle River, for $312.50, an irregularly- shaped plot, of about 3,000 square feet, at "the southeast corner of the street leading from Passaic river to the store of John Parke." This plot was at the corner of Main and Bank streets.2
III. Nicholas, m. Ist, Catharina Post; 2d, Jannetje Rethan, wid. of Paul Rutan of the Bogt, Jan. 17, 1785. Nicholas was a mason by trade, and lived in the old house on the south side of Willis street, a short distance west of Vreeland avenue, on a farm of forty acres. His will, dated Oct. 31, 1815, was proved Nov. 22, 1815.3 His widow's will, dated June 19, 1809, was proved Jan. 19, 1819. She left her property to her own children and grandchildren. 4
IV. Jan, bap. May 24, 1750; m. Catrienna Van Rypen. John removed to New York city after the Revolution, and there followed his trade as a carpenter. He had his car-

penter shop on the south side of Partition (now Fulton) street, near Broadway, nearly opposite St. Paul's church. In April, 1788, "there was a frame house on the part of the lot enclosed, and there was another house on the rear of the lot nearly finished"1 __ which gives us a glimpse of the primitive condition of that neighborhood a century ago.

II. Abraham, b. Sept. 14, 1767.
III. Simeon, m. Bregje (Bridget) Van Blarcom, Sept. 18, 1793; she was his cousin, being the dau. of his uncle, Nicholas Van Blarcom. He removed to New York, where he plied his trade as a mason for a few years, but on Oct. 20, 1798, he bought from Cornelius Van Riper, of Saddle River, for £97, a house and lot on the south side of Willis street, near East Twenty-fifth street, 3.41 chains in front by 5.87 chains deep, the tract containing two acres.1 He prob- ably found in a few years that the new town of Paterson was a better location for his trade, and on May 12, 1803, he bought from David Godwin and Catharine his wife, a tract of 2.75 acres on the north side of Broadway, witli a dwell- ing house on the premises, for which he paid $425.2 This house was the stone building, still (1895) standing on Broadway, a short distance east of Straight street, and which was the residence of the late Judge Philemon Dick- erson and his descendants, from 1815 to 1894. Not having room enough, Simeon bought an additional plot, adjoining his residence, on April 8, 1809, for $30, from John King and Isabella his wife; this latter plot was 53x104 feet in area.3 In 1895 it would fetch between $6,000 and $7,000. Van Blar- com occupied the old stone house until he sold it, with 3.875 acres of land, to Judge Dickerson, by deed dated June I, 1815, receiving $858 for his bargain. Simeon had one son, John, b. Feb. 14, 1795; the latter lived in New York; after spending an evening with friends, in Brooklyn, he started to return to New York, but was never heard of again, and was believed to have been murdered, and thrown into the East river.
IV. Hendrick, m. Ist, Dirckje Ackerman, April 3, 1796; 2d, Jannetje Post, Sept. 13, 1807; he was a captain in the militia in the War of 1812. He was a shoemaker by trade. He bought from Benjamin Vincent and Elizabeth his wife, of Saddle River, May I, 1801, for £164, a tract of 16 acres of land on Willis street.4 By deed dated Septem- ber 22, 1802, he bought, for £80, New Jersey money ($200), a tract of eight acres on the south side of Willis street, be- tween the houses of his brother Simeon and John F. Post. This plot was 5.87§ chains on Willis street, with a depth of II. 75 chains.5 Hendrick occupied an old-fashioned frame house, a story and a half high, with a one-story kitchen ex- tension, standing on the west side of Straight street, about where the passenger station of the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad is now. The dwelling faced south - ward, the gable end being toward the street. He was called Henry Van Blarcom. He d. about Sept. 1, 1838.

THE VAN BLARCOMS.
12, 1823, Mrs. Abigail DeBaun, wid. of Peter DeBaun. Abraham was a blacksmith by trade, shifting his shop from place to place, as interest or inclination prompted. He was probably first located on the south side of Bank street; on June 24, 1801, he conveyed to Henry B. Spear, of Saddle Riv- er, an eighth of an acre on that street, with blacksmith shop, stable, house and garden, for $100.1 He then (1801) bought from Isaac Vanderbeck, jun., a tract of 34 acres along the ·. river, near Straight street, adjoining lands of Cornelius Van Winkle; he sold this property to Major Abram Godwin, Aug. 18, 1802, for $1,375, accepting in part payment, at a valua- tion of £150 ($375), a plot near the old Passaic Hotel.2 At one time he had his blacksmith shop on the north side of Broadway, between West and Mulberry streets. During the great freshet of 1810, his shop was swept away by the flood. Indeed, Abraham was accustomed to aver, with a variety of most positive expletives, that he had even seen his anvil floating away on the angry surge of waters ! In the mean- time, March 20, 1809, he had bought from Abraham Van Houten the tavern property at the northeast corner of Main and Congress (now Market) streets, and after the freshet he carried on that famous hostelry until 1825, when he built him a private residence on Main street, north of the tavern, and by deed dated July 13, 1825, conveyed the inn property to his son, Andrew Van Blarcom, but repurchased it, Aug. 7, 1830, at Sheriff's sale. It was noted as a curious fact by his acquaintances, that whereas "Brom" Van Blarcom, the blacksmith, had been a man of violent and profane habits, much inclined to dissipation, Abraham Van Blarcom, the inn-keeper, was temperate and restrained in his behavior, an excellent citizen, highly respected. He acquired a large amount of property, on Main, Market, Willis and other streets, but parted with much if not most of it before his death.

He sold a piece of his land, containing 1410 square feet, between his house and Con- gress street, to his brother Abraham, who built thereon the tavern stables, but the noise and bustle connected with them were so disagreeable that on Nov. 25, 1817, Cornelius bought that corner back again from his brother, for $340,1 and soon after erected the two-story frame building, still occupying the corner. By deed dated May 4, 1814, he bought from the S. U.
