John Ireland, the immigrant


IRELAND ancestor, is believed to have been born in England. He


was undoubtedly of English ancestry. He settled near Saratoga Lake. Saratoga county, New York. He had sons: James (mentioned below ), Jacob and Thomas.


(II) James, son of John Ireland, was born near Saratoga Lake, Saratoga county, New York, November 23, 1776, and died in Bain- bridge, New York, January 25, 1850. He came to Bainbridge with his brothers Thomas and Jacob prior to the year 1808, and set- tled there when the country was new. He was a farmer, and by trade a mason. He built for himself a stone house in Union Val- ley, Bainbridge, and lived in it the rest of his life. At the time he built his house there were no other houses between it and Sidney. There were few roads laid out and to reach the grist mill, he had to make his way through the forest.


James Ireland married, January 21, 1798, Lydia Ingersoll, who was born at Saratoga, New York, January 3, 1776, and died at Bain- bridge, January 15, 1864, daughter of Philip and Elizabeth Ingersoll.

(III) James Harvey, son of James Ireland, was born in Bainbridge, New York, Septem- ber 14. 1815, and died in Standish, Michigan, September 2, 1889. He was educated in the public schools, and learned the trade of car- penter. In addition to hiis trade he followed farming, and he was also a skilful millwright. When he was about seventeen years old he went to Smyrna, New York, where he lived until after his wife died. He then removed to Michigan and spent his last years in that state. He owned a hundred acres of land on the Canasawacta creek, in the town of Smyrna, New York, and a large saw mill, from which the section is still known as Ire- land's Mills. He married Clarissa Avery, of Solon, Cortland county, New York, who was born in 1820, and died at Smyrna, New York, in 1874, daughter of Silas and Alvira (Phil- ips ) Avery. Children: Julius, Louis E., Corintha, married Martin Wade; A. Birdsall, mentioned below; Alvira, died in infancy ; Nelson, lives in Standish, Michigan; Emma, married Jack 'Stevens; Ardella, married Mr. Jones.


(IV) A. Birdsall, son of James Harvey Ireland, was born in Smyrna, Chenango county, New York, November 12, 1846. He received his early education in the public schools of his native town. During his youth he worked on his father's farm and in the mill. In 1869 he left Smyrna and worked at the trade of wagon-making at Oxford, Una- dilla, Binghamton, Sherburne and Greene, New York. In 1879 he went to work in the Lyon Iron Works in Greene, in the wood- working department, and continued in the em- ploy of this concern until 1906. In that year he founded the Ireland Machine & Foundry Company, at Norwich, New York, of which he is president and manager. This is a flour- ishing and growing industry. In politics Mr. Ireland is a Republican. He is a member of the Baptist church, of which he has been dea- con for many years. He married, June 22, 1871, Alfaretta Root, of Oxford, New York, daughter of Samuel and Esther (Lewis) Root. Children : I.

A recent publication describes the business of the Ireland Machine & Foundry Company, as follows :


“Of those institutions which have gained prominence in the manufacturing world and commercial arena of Norwich, there are none that have built up a better reputation than the Ireland Machine & Foundry Company. For years Norwich needed just such an establish- ment. Before it was founded, farmers, manu- facturers and others in this section had to send to far-away points to get any kind of machinery or get any kind of repairing done. That en- tailed delays and much expense, hence the ad- vent of this machine shop and foundry filled a long-felt want.


"This company was established in 1906 by A. B. Ireland & Sons, who came here from Greene. The same year it was incorporated with some of the best known and most prominent citizens of Norwich as a board of directors. Its capitaliza- tion is $50,000, with $35,000 paid in. The offi- cers are: A. B. Ireland, president: F. L. Ireland, vice-president; A. G. Jones, secretary and treas- urer; directors: N. P. Bonney. C. W. Lanpher, Frank Skinner, S. E. Johns, H. A. Ireland. A large machine shop and foundry built of con- crete, 59 by 180 feet, was erected on the west side of State street, and competent machinists and molders employed. Since its inception the company has proved the wisdom of its pro- moters. It has done and is today doing a very satisfactory business in the manufacture of shin- gle mills, saw mills, saw mill machinery, steam and gas engines, wood and drag saw machines. horse paoers and farm machines. A specialty is made in pattern designing and mechanical draw- ings by its corps of mechanical draughtsmen. Repairing of machinery of all kinds is one of the most valuable and important departments. Here automobiles, gas and steam engines, farm ma- chinery, etc., are made almost as good as new by expert artisans. a service that is much appre- ciated by persons in this region who need re- pairs of this kind. The company is agent for and dealers in automobiles, engines and a gen- eral line of mill supplies and guarantee entire satisfaction in the character of goods, prices. etc.


"The secretary-treasurer, Mr. A. G. Jones, who is in active charge of the plant, is a capable busi- ness man with wide experience in the machinery and foundry line. He has made numerous friends among the company's customers and is an important factor in the success which has at- tended the enterprise. Mr. A. B. Ireland is a native of Smyrna. He was for twenty-seven years connected with an iron foundry in Greene, and as an expert designer and all-round metal and wood-worker he has few equals. His sons,

F. L. and H. A. Ireland, both of whom are con- nected with the company, are also experts in the business."


(IV) Dr. Louis Elbert Ireland, brother of A. Birdsall Ireland, was born in Smyrna, New York, October 16, 1845. He was a pupil in the public schools of his native town and in the select schools of Plymouth, New York. He studied dentistry at Toronto, Canada, at the College of Dentistry, and completed his course in this subject at the Dental College of Chicago. He began to practice his profes- sion at Charlotteville. For ten years he prac- ticed at Unadilla, New York, eight years at Oneonta, New York, and since 1885 in Chi- cago, Illinois. He was instructor in a dental college in Chicago for eight years. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, having joined the order at Unadilla, New York. He married (first) in 1870, Helen Stewart ; she died, and he married (second) in 1907, Lillian Smith. Dr. Ireland has one son by his first marriage, Harvey, born in Chicago, in 1892.


About fifteen miles SCHERMERHORN north of Amster- dam. Holland, near the northwest corner of the former site of a lake. is the village of Schermerhorn. Upon a map dated 1604 this lake is indicated as De Scher Mer; about two hundred and fifty years ago the lake was drained. and its site is now occupied by highly cultivated farms. A point of land jutting into the lake, near the former water connection between De Scher Mer and De Beemster, is marked, npon the map referred to, as De Ilooren, and upon this land stands the present village of Schermer- horn.


The old Saxon word Skir became changed to Scher in the Middle Dutch period of the language, and means clear, pure, bright. The designation Scher Mer was probably given to the lake from the clearness, purity or bright- ness of its waters. The word Meer, or Mer. means lake. and the word Hooren a point, hook, or cape of land. The name Scher-Mer- Horn is simply a compound of these three words, and, like the majority of Holland fam- ily names, is of geographical origin. In the early Dutch colonial records the name appears as Schermerhooren, and was so written by the first generation in this country. The proper pronunciation of the name is Scare-


Mer-Horn. The family still exists in Holland, and its members bear to-day the baptismal names so common in the early generations in America.


(I) The first emigrant bearing the name from Holland-and, so far as known, the only one-was Jacob Janse Schermerhooren, who left the Fatherland on the ship "Rens- selaerwyck," on October 1, 1636, and came to Beverwycke (Albany). On the ship's list of colonists he is designated as "Jacob Janse van Amsterdam, age 14 years." He was therefore born in the year 1622. In the early records of the colony he is sometimes re- ferred to as Jacob Janse van Schermerhooren. In a state document of Holland, published at The llague in 1650, relating to Governor Stuyvesant's conduct in the affairs of the col- ony, Schermerhooren is referred to as "Jacob Janse van Schermerhooren, formerly a citizen of Waterland, Holland." This locality in- cluded the village of Schermerhorn, and the areas formerly covered by De Scher Mer, De Wur Mler, De Pur Mer, and De Beemster.


The colonial records state that in 1648 Ja- cob Reynties ( Reyntsen, Reyntgen) obtained from the West India Company's agent at New Amsterdam ( New York ) arms and ammuni- tion, which were sent to Schermerhooren at Fort Orange ( Albany), who in turn sold them to the Indians. This traffic being illicit, in the opinion of Governor Stuyvesant, unless carried on by himself. Reynties and Scher- merhooren were seized on May 26, 1648, and, with their goods, books, and papers, carried prisoners to New Amsterdam. On July 9, 1048. they were sentenced by Stuyvesant to banishment from the colony for five years. with the confiscation of all their property, which it is stated was considerable. This sen- tence was, in the opinion of the "Nine Men" and others, undeserved, and through their in- terposition it was revoked on August 1. 1648. The property of Schermerhooren had been confiscated between the sentence and its revo- cation, and so remained. These proceedings of Stuyvesant subsequently formed part of the complaint of maladministration made against him by the Colony to the States-General in Holland.


Jacob Janse Schermerhooren was commis- sary to the General Privileged West India Company, and was also one of a court of three commissaries ( magistrates ) at Beverwycke and Fort Orange ( Albany), in 1652. 1654.

1650. 1657, 1664. 1666, 1674, and 1675. The records of this court also show that in 1654 he visited Amsterdam, where his father, Jan Schermerhooren, was then living. He again visited his native land in 1668, and there loaded the ship "King Charles" with goods for the Colony. The ship was prohibited from sailing to New York, and on December II, 1668, Schermerhooren petitioned King Charles II for his permission to depart with his ship from the Texel. "where it hath lain many days ready to sail, and now lies there at great hazard on account of the season of the year." The permission was subsequently granted by the orders of the King, through the Duke of York, Lord High Admiral of England.


The name of Jacob Janse Schermerhooren is recorded as the twelfth male member of the Reformed Dutch Church of Beverwycke, or- ganized in 1642 by Dominie Johannes Mega- polensis : and as a member of the Consistory he andited the deacon's accounts generally between 1665 and 1686.


About 1650 Schermerhooren married Jan- netie S. Van Voorhoudt, and at least nine children, five sons and four daughters, were the result of the union. In his will, dated May 20. 1688, recorded at Albany, New York. he names his children in the order given in the following genealogical table, and refers to the last four as then in their minority.


He was a trader with the Indians, and the owner of quite large estates. He lived in Al- bany until 1686, when he removed to Schenec- tady, where he died in 1688. Prior to 1676 his house and gardens were on the east side of North Pearl street, Albany, beginning sixty feet south of Maiden Lane: after 1676 he lived on the north side of State street, just east of Chapel street. His wife received the income from his estate until her death in 1700, when the estate, amounting to 56.882 guilders, was equally divided among the nine children ; it included houses and lands at Schenectady, Albany, and Schodack, and moneys in Hol- land.


Jacob Janse Schermerhooren was a man of indomitable energy and will. combined with marked intelligence and executive ability ; the former is attested by the early age at which he left his native land, by his opposition to Governor Stuyvesant, and his final business success in the Colony : and the latter by the stations of honor and trust which he was


called by his fellow-colonists to occupy while he was yet a young man.


The coat-of-arms of the Schermerhorn family was obtained by Captain Joseph Mars- chalk, in 1800, from a painted window of the church in the village of Schermerhorn, Hol- land. The device upon the seal of the vil- lage is a mole. The following description of the above coat-of-arms is contained in "Ar- morial Général," par J. B. Rietstap, 1887; "Schermerhorn: D'argent (ou d'azur) à un chêne au naturel, posé sur un tertre de sinople, et une taupe de sable au pied de l'arbre. Casque couronné : Cimier, le chêne : Devise, Industria semper crescam."

The birth dates as given above are some- what conjectural, but from collateral evidence they are believed to be nearly correct. In the will of Jacob Janse Schermerhooren, dated May 20, 1688, the children are named in the above order, and the last four are referred to as then (1688) being in their minority.


Jannetie S. Van Voorhoudt, born in Hol- land, about 1632. was the daughter of Cor- nelis Segerse Van Voorhoudt and Bregje Ja- cobson, who came from Holland to Bever- wycke (Albany) in 1642. Jannetie Scher- merhooren died at Schenectady. New York, in 1700.
