MISCELLANEOUS-There was a JOHANNES ROELOFSON, who settled "on the Raritans" about 1700, but nothing is known of his family.
RUNYON.
The family of Runyons are descended from VINCENT RONGION. He was a Huguenot and came to America in the year 1645. He settled in East Jersey on the Elisabethtown grant as early as 1668-70. He was called at the first mention of his name, "a mariner from Poitou." This province in France endured the fiercest persecution on account of religion, until all industries were paralyzed and whole communities were depopulated. There is on file at Trenton a marriage license issued by the governor of East Jersey, Philip Carteret, in the year 1668. This document reads as follows :
"To any of the Justices of the Peace or Ministers of the Province of New Jersey: Whereas, I have received information of a mutual agreement between Vincent Rongion, of Portiers, in France, and Ann Boutcher, the daughter of John Boutcher of Hartford, in England, to solemnize marriage together, for which they have requested my lycense, and there appearing no lawful impediment for the obstruc- tion thereof, these are to require you or eyther of you, to joyne the said Vincent Rongion and Ann Boutcher in matrimony, and them to pronounce man and wife, and to make record thereof, according to the laws in that behalf provided, for the doing whereof this shall be to you or eyther of you a sufficient warrant.
Given under my hand and seal of the Province, the 28th of June, 1668, and the 20th year of the raigne of our Sovereign Lord Charles the Second, of England, Scotland and Ireland, King, defender of the faith, &c.
(Signed) PH. CARTERET. This couple were joyned in matrimony by me the 17th of July, 1668. (Signed) JAMES BOLTON.
Vincent Rongion bought a piece of land at Elizabeth Town, 20 March, 1671-2. He soon however removed to Piscataway, where in the spring of 1677 he purchased a farm of 1543% acres. The sons and daughters of VINCENT and Ann Boutcher were : Vincent, Darich [Derick or Dirck, the same as Richard], Joseph, Reune, Ephraim, Mury, Peter, Jane and Sarah.
