EARLY GERMANS OF NEW JERSEY
STRYKER.
JAN STRYKER emigrated, 1652, from Rhnynen, Province of Drenthe, Holland, and settled in Flatbush, L. I., about 1654. Effort has been made to trace the descendants of this pioneer to the present generation ; but, as the same names occur in each successive generation, and the records provide no means of iden- tifying the individuals, absolute certainty regarding the first generations is unattainable. The following arrangement is, however, the most probable one. Jan or John had ch .: GARRET and PETER, and the latter had Barent, of Somerset Co., and Jan.
BARENT, of Somerset Co. (s. of Peter of Flatbush), had

SUTTONS OF PISCATAWAY, N. J.
The first of the family to come to this State are found at Piscataway, as early as 1677. The earliest records in which the name occurs are as follows : In the Elisabethtown bill in chancery we find surveyed to WILLIAM SUTTON, in 1677, Jan. 30, 120 acres ; in 1677 and 8, Feb. 11, 125 acres ; in 1678, Sept. 10, 124}% ; in 1685, Feb. 11, 125 ; in 16º6, Feb. 20, 125 ; in 1687, March 25, 125.
In 1697-8, March 10, a large tract was leased by the proprietors of East Jersey for "a half pence per acre" to William Sutton, Thomas Sutton, Judah, John and Charles Sutton, and others.
In 1685, AMBROSE is said to be one of the company owning the Elisabethtown purchase.
RICHARD has will dated Piscataway, 1722, Sept. 8, prob. 1732, Feb. 28 ; (Tren- ton B. 385). He names eldest son NATHAN and refers to but does not name the other children ; names also his brother DANIEL, and brother-in-law Peter Run- yon, also his wife Sarah. This last must be the daughter of Vincent Runyon Ist, who was born 1685.
In 1700-1, THOMAS and RICHARDand JUDSON sign a petition to the King against the acts of the proprietors.
In 1713, JOHN, with fifty others of Middlesex Co., petitions the House of Repre- sentatives of New Jersey.

SUTTONS OF BASKING RIDGE.
RICHARD, of Piscataway, may have been the ancestor of the Buttons of Potters- ville and Sussex Co., through his son Nathan. The tradition in these families claims an ancestor of the name of Nathan who m. for second wife a French woman and who had twenty children. The only Nathan yet discovered is the one who is the son of Richard.
NATHAN (s. of Richard), m. two wives, one of whom was a French woman ; this may have been Mary Cossart (dau. of Jacob), b. 1725-30. He lived at Sterling and attended church prob. at Basking Ridge ; said to have had 20 children, 10 by each wife. He prob. had children :
