Che VanDervoort Family.
A California correspondent wrote me . "cow boys" and "skinners," see Irving's that one Peter VanDervoort, a Revolu- Life of Washington. tionary soldier, was buried at the Rock- away Cemetery, and gave the location as near as he could remember, but that there was no monumental record of the same. On further inquiry I found that tradition had associated him as a "Skin- mer." and of the same company of Paulding, Van Wart and Williams, the captors of Major Andre as every school boy can tell, and would have been on patrol, had it been his night out. All these traditions might have been woven in a very pretty story, and, possibly no contradictions, as Peter had been dead over seventy years, and the incidents transacted about 120 years.
Perhaps his name might have beon among the fifty thousand furnished by the State of New York in the Revolu- tion, but it was not there, Perhaps Paulding, Van Wart and Williams were "skinners" but not so, they were regu- Barly enlisted men on duty of patrol. These questions placed me in communi- cation with Mr. J. C. L. Hamilton, a descendant of Alexander Hamilton, an absle historian from Westchester county, and one familiar by research of these fimmons neutral grounds, and a special imquiry from Adjt. Gen. W. S. Stryker, off Trenton. Perhaps the school boy may know more of the captors of Maj. Andre, if I may quote here from Hamil- bon in his "Poverty and Patriotism on the Neutral Grounds" and why history mentious only three of the seven captors of Andre.
Now if Peter was a Revolutionary soldier, he could not have been a "Skiu- ner," the lawless Americans who pa- troled the neutral grounds of Rockland and Westchester counties and along the Hudson river, more for plunder than "The capture of Major John Andro patriotism, as the "cowboys" did on the | gave these Neutral Grounds the proud British 'side.

of honor presented to soldiers of the republic. Three alone of the seven, which composed this small band of pa- triots, were awarded a medal inscribed "Fidelity." John Paulding, Isaac Vau- Wart, David Williams. Isaac See, James Romer, Johu Yerks, John Dean, Ser- geant.
"These captors, in accordance with an agreement, sold the watch, horse, sad- dle and bridle taken from Major Andre and made equal division of the proceeds between the seven, after which they all contributed an equal amount toward de- fraying the expenses of cue of their num- ber to Philadelphia in order to lay the importance of the service rendered be- fore Congress, with the expectation that all of them would be suitably rewarded. The member entrusted with this mis- sion, after arrival in Philadelphia, came in contact with a member of Congress from the State of New Jersey, said to be not very friendly to the cause of in- dependence, who, learning the particu- lars of the capture, advised that no men- tion of the four additional members should be made, for fear that Congress would refuse to grant any reward."
Adjt. Gen. Stryker finds Peter C. VanDervoort a private and minute man in the Bergen county, N. J. Militia. also the names of Garrett and Cornelius Vau- Dervoort. Now Garrett and Cornelius were brothers of Peter P. VanDervoort, as the Bible records give the name. The Bergen county militia operated more or less upon the Neutral Grounds of the Hudson, the home of the VauDervoorts.
Garrett, it is related, was sent home on
sick furlough with many from his com. pany, from the fact, as was afterward ascertamed, of having eaten too much bread made from the flour purchased on these Neutral Grounds that contained a large percentage of stone that had been ground and mixed in the flour making it indigestible. It was a very mean trick and drew the line on which side of the Neutral fence the miller belonged.
Cornelius VanDervoort, soon after the Revolution came to Rockaway; was a car- penter by trade, and worked seventy- seven days in the rebuilding of the old Presbyterian Church at Rockaway, under Contractor Job Allen in 1794. He must have been a very sober and industrious man, and a good work- man, as Job Allen only worked eighty- three and one-half days, while a score o" more employed worked & far less number and one but half a day. One of the daugh- ters of Cornelius married and lived at Rockaway. I have no further records of Garrett or Cornelius. There was a Garrett and Cornelius who lived near Warwick, N. Y., but upon inquiry 10 relationship was claimed to our Peter P. Mention is made of one Michael a proba- ble brother, who married Martha Lea- man, and had children : Paul, Michael, John, Jonas, Peter, Elizabeth, Martha aud Hannah. I will leave this branch for the work of some future historian to unravel. Further researches find the old stone house, uow standing near the Ponoma station, as the home of the Van- Dervoorts.

ditions relate, was born in Rockland county, New York, Nov. 25, 1753, and married Phebe, daughter of William Coe, about 1773. She was born Sept. 13, 1755, and a part of the children were born in Rockland county. Soon after the Revolution the family located on the "Billy Scott" farm about a mile above Hibernia, and from thence removed to the Coperas Mine near Green Pond, at which place he died about 1830, and was buried at Rockaway. It is related that his wife died soon after while ou a visit to her daughter Nelly's at Edenville, N. Y., and was buried at Warwick, N. Y., but no trace or monumental record confirms it, as she would have been buried in the Dusenberrie plot where her daughter and some of the children are buried.
Children : William, born May 26, 1774, married and went to Berne, Albany county, N. Y., May 23, 1793, and from thence removed to Louisiana, and was never heard from. There are numerous descendants at St. Louis, Mo.

Samuel, born Jan. 1, 1797, married a Duryea, who died 1842 and was buried at Rockaway near the grave of Peter P. VanDervoort.
Daniel C. Dasenberrie, of Edenville, N. Y., was a soldier in 1812 war, a pri- vate in Capt. Austen's Company and did service at Long Island. He married (2) Phebe Mills, June 27, 1838. She was a daughter of John and Cleo (Wines) Mills, who at one time owned the farm and mills at Ninkey where J. Andrew Casterline resides. He was so well pleased with his first wife who came from Morris County that it was quite natural that he should get his second wife from Morris County. All buried

Daniel Wrisberg is mentioned in the ( tradition relates that he left $100 to th lease with John Jacob Faesch as one of - the parties of the second part for Mount Hope, dated Feb. 23, 1873, Col. Jacob Ford being the party of the first part. Wris- berg probably came with Faesch from Germany, and was a man with consid- erable means and invested with Faesch in the iron business.

Che Cole Family.
Tradition says that Leonard Cole and family came from Amsterdam, Holland, and first settled near Milton, in Morris County, about 1740 or '50, when his son Henry was only four years old. He married a second wife here by the name of Almeda Hartrum, or McCloud, name nucertain, and had sons: Abraham, Peter, Leonard, Jacob, and daughters : Phebe and Elizabeth. I have heard it related of this family, as well as some other Dutch families, that the children were never named only such names as could be shortened or nicknamed, and thus we have, Brom, Pete, Lent, Jake, Febe and Bets, an advantage, certainly, where life did not reach the full three score and ten years.
A sister of the original Leouard mar- ried Israel Holly, one of the first settlers of old Stockholm. There is a tradition that their first child, a daughter, was taken when very young by the Indians, who at that time frequently passed through that section on their way to the Delaware country, and that she grew up
with the tribe and became as one of them. Some years after it was learned where she was but she refused to return to her parents.
Phebe, married Benjamin Castimore, and Elizabeth married Gerret Kimble, the progenitors of the names of that sec- tion of Morris County. Abraham died at an age of 104 years. Jacob settled and built the first houses of logs east of where the Clinton reservoir now is and hæed children : Leonard, Frederick, Abra- ham, Willhelm, Mary and perhaps others. Leonard married Rachel Daven- port, who was the mother of Almeda, wife of Joel Harrison, of Stockholm, and died at his house in the '50s at an advanced age. Frederick, who settled at Clinton, married Polly, daughter of John and Leah (Brooks) Davenport, and Mary married Abraham (Brom) Van- Druff, the progenitor of that family. The Angle family was also connected with the Coles by marriage in the early settlement of Clinton. Samuel Angle, son of John and Mary (Burwell) Angle,
