Johannes -- Hendrikus -- Jan -- Gysbert -- Jan Lubbertsen and Antye Jacobus had children:

I. Brant, b. Aug. 20, 1789; m. Geertje (Getty, Gitty) Van Riper, April 6, 1817. (See p. 178.) He d. June 3, 1865; she d. March 5, 1859. The old Van Winkle property, at the northeast corner of Broadway and Main street, had beeu sold, May 7, 1812, for $2,750, by Cornelius S. Van Winkle and Lucinda E., his wife, and John S. Van Winkle, all of New York city, to Isaac Clasen, who was operating the Frauklin Mill, on Mill street. He died, leaving debts to the amount of $132,000, and his executors-Henry Rem- sen, Charles Dickinson and John F. Delaplaine-were or- dered by the Essex Orphans' Court to sell his lands. Ac- cordingly, this Van Winkle corner came under the hammer, and was sold, May 24, 1816, for $5,500, to Brant Van Blar- com and his brother James.1 The property extended from Main street to twenty feet east of Washington street, and northerly to the Godwin line, or to Division street, being 6.59 acres in area. James released to Brant, May 19, 1820, for $5,000, the block bounded by Broadway, Main, Fair and Washington streets.2 Brant and James carried on a gen- eral country store until about 1825, when James retired,

THE VAN BLARCOMS.

having purchased the old Paul Post farm in the Bogt. Henry then became associated in business with Brant, but Henry, getting married, took the Jurrie Van Riper farm in the Bogt, and lived in the old stone house near Seventh avenue. About 1820-22, Brant built a frame extension of the store on the west end of the old Van Winkle house. It was claimed that he had encroached on the street, and he was indicted therefor. The case was tried in the court .. house at Newark, and excited considerable interest among the Main street property owners. The record showed that on May 13, 1796, a road was laid "beginning at the foot of Paterson Bridge near the house of Abraham Godwin running from thence along the middle thereof South 48 deg. E., 7.72 chains; South 5 deg. 45 min. W. 21.76 chains to the street at Mr. Colt's," etc.1 -that is, from the foot of Bank street, where the bridge then spanned the river, to Main street, and up Main street to Market street. This road was to be "three rods wide throughout." The issue of the trial de- pended upon the starting point. The old bridge had been washed away in I810, and a new one built. Van Blarcom proved by the original abutment, part of which remained under the water, that his survey was correct, and he was ac- quitted. Thus was established the easterly line of Main street, between Broadway and Bank street. A few years later, or about 1828-30, he tore down the old Van Winkle house and the frame extensions, and erected a row of four brick buildings along Broadway. About 1848 he tore down the corner one and built the present store in its place, standing on the northeast corner of Broadway and Main street. In 1823 Brant erected a market on Broad- way, between Main and Washington streets, on the site of the present No. 63 and No. 65 Broadway, and running back to Fair street, for the accommodation of farmers and others, of which some account will be given hereaf- ter. He also set up a hay scale in 1825-26, at the cor- ner of Main street and Broadway, removing it three or four years later to its present location in Broadway, a few doors further east. In 1833, as already related, Van Blar- com exchanged part of his Broadway property for a farm on the east bank of the Passaic, north of the Broadway bridge, where he resided for three or four years. While still on this farm, he bought a large part of the present East Side Park, Paterson, and about 1836 or 1837 built the frame house still on the premises. He occupied this residence until 1849, when lie removed to Hawthorne, residing there about four years. Once more he returned to Paterson, at No. 73 Broadway, where he died. Having acquired the mill prop- erty at Dundee, formerly of Adrian Post,2 Brant Van Blar- com and John S. Van Winkle secured an act of the Legisla-

ture, Feb. 20, 1828, authorizing them to erect and maintain a dam, not exceeding eight feet high, on the site of the old dam, or immediately above, the right being reserved by the State to authorize the construction of a lock in the dam, for the purpose of improving the navigation in the river. On April 13, 1832, these two partners sold part of their Dundee or Slooterdam purchase, just below the mill, to Jacob Van Winkle,1 of New York, for $13,000, taking in part payment the property known as the Old Hotel, at the southeast cor- ner of Market and Hotel streets, 56 ft. 9 in. in front and 340 ft. 6 in. in depth, at a valuation of $8,000.2 Careful and sagacious in the conduct of his business, the people believed Mr. Van Blarcom could be safely entrusted with public af- fairs, and repeatedly elected him to various offices. In 1826 he was elected to the Assembly, as one of the four represent- atives of the great county of Essex. In those primitive days of no railroads, Brant was wont to drive to Trenton with his own team, driving back at the end of each week's session of the Legislature. He was an eminently safe member, whose honesty was unquestioned, and whose votes were always in the interest of the people. In 1843 and 1844 he rep- resented Paterson in the Board of Chosen Freeholders, being selected to preside as Director of the Board in the latter year. In 1855 he was elected Mayor of Paterson, and proved to be a keen, painstaking, watch- ful Chief Magistrate.3 In person, he was about five feet ten inches in height, of spare, wiry frame.

III. Jacobos (James), b. March 28, 1793; m. Hetty Van Saun; d. about Feb. I, 1850. He built a modest little frame dwelling in 1821, at what is now 172 Main street, 5 where he resided several years, until he bought, April 22, 1825, the Paul Post farm in the Bogt, ninety acres, for $3,000,6 where he spent the rest of his days. The site of Continental Hall was acquired by him, April 24, 1819, from

1 An auctioneer in New York; he was a son of Jacob Van Winkle, who lived at the corner of Broadway and Summer street.

2 Essex County Transcribed Deeds, K, 383, 405. Jacob Van Winkle and others secured a charter, as the Dundee Manufacturing Company, and this Slooterdam mill property was conveyed to the new corporation -now the Dundee Water Power and Land Company.

3 When a committee from the South Ward called on him before the election, to impress upon him the importance of a liberal campaign fund, he assured them, courteously, but firmly, that he appreciated the honor of being elected Mayor of Paterson too highly to be willing to pay a dol- lar for it ! When the committee made their report, their friends de- clared, "That's the kind of a man we want for Mayor !" and rallied most heartily to his support.

5 In 1824 it was occupied by James Van Blarcom and William Dickey, with their families, and James Moore also had there at the same time the first dry-goods store in Paterson ; the building was destroyed by fire, Dec. 13, 1826.

This farm was described in the deed as "bounded south on lands of Henry Van Blarcom and the State of New Jersey, west on lands of Abraham Godwin [the thirty-four acre farm at the foot of Straight street], Adrian Van Houten and the State of New Jersey, north on lands of Simeon Van Winkle, and east on the middle road that leads from John Van Blarcom and Simeon Van Winkle to lands of John Blarcom."

4 In a conversation with the writer on April 10, 1879, Smith Hill stated that he came from Hamilton Square, in Hunterdon county, to Paterson, with his uncle, in 1828, being then quite young. He first lived in Fair street. He was in the butcher business nineteen years. He bought the farm of Henry I. Van Blarcom, in the Bogt, at a Sheriff's. sale. To this farm he added by purchases of land from the State of New Jersey.

1 John Joseph Blauvelt came from Tappan to Paterson about 1810. His son, the late Garret I. Blauvelt, informed the writer that soon after his father came to Paterson he had the offer of two properties: one, the block bounded by Main, Van Houten and Prospect streets and Broad- way; the other, a farm on Totowa, near the present Lincoln bridge. The price was about the same. He chose the farm.

25x100 feet, for which he paid $125.1 He next took the step, in the following January, of securing a wife.
