provided with medical supplies and instruments as they hurried to the field. There were numerous volunteer regiments rapidly assembling, requiring immediate care for their sick and atten- tion to their permanent organization. There were hundreds of surgeons and assistants coming from every section of the State, representing every grade of the profession, whose qualifications were to be examined and decided. New regiments were uninterruptedly organized and old regiments demanded constant attention, even after they had passed into the service of the United States, in order that a competent medical staff might be maintained. This last duty was made peculiarly harassing and exhausting by the crude system of the General Government during the first two years of the war. In many cases the medical officers no sooner became con- versant with their duties than the novelty and romance vanished, their resignations were offered and accepted, and the surgeon general required to fill the vacancies with such prompitude that the public service should suffer no detriment. The magni- tude of the responsibility and the severity of the labor thus imposed, may be judged from the fact that there were between six and seven hundred positions upon the medical staff to be kept filled with competent officers. A still more significant testimony is embodied in the statement that at one time the surgeon general was called upon to make over five hundred ap- pointments in the space of six weeks. Nor was this all. He was obliged to establish and perfect a system of promotion which should be just, without favoritism, and confer reward without impairing the efficiency of the service. His patronage was immense. With hundreds of officers in this department, upon whose respective merits none but himself could decide, it required a nice sense of honor and a wise discrimination to distribute the appointments in such a way that the good of the general service might be harmonized with a recognation of just personal claims. Nothing could put the professional acquire- ments and the executive talents of a man to a severer test than these varied, complicated and difficult duties ; and it is but to repeat the judgment of the highest authorities to say that they were performed by Dr. VAN DER POEL with signal ability. His

successful administration elicited the official approval of both the Secretary of War and the Governor of the State, and con- stitutes an important chapter in the association of New York with the great contest. In 1867 he was appointed to the chair of General Pathology and Clinical Medicine in the Albany Medical College, which he held for three years, and then re- signed for personal reasons. About the same time he was appointed a manager of the State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, a position, still retained. In February, 1870 he was elected Presi- dent of the Medical Society of the State of New York, the highest recognition in the power of his professional brethren to bestow. Dr. VAN DER POEL was in 1872 called by Governor Hoffman to take charge of the Quarantine Department of the Port of New York as Health Officer of the Port. The irregu- larities of this office for many years had been the theme of dis- cussion in legislative councils and commercial conventions, and nothing in the way of reform seemed effective. The antagon isms of commerce and quarantine were developed to the fullest extent. In this field, with all its complications, there was full scope for the executive ability which Dr. VAN DER POEL had displayed so often before. Taken as it really exists, and exe- cuted honestly, this is the highest medical office in the world. To Dr. VAN DER POEL is due the credit of restoring it to its true position. His first action was to reduce the various parts of it to one system. The enormous expenditures, averaging more than a quarter of a million annually for some years, had grown into a heterogeneous organization without much system. Taking charge of it purely as a sanitary interest, Dr. VAN DER POEL placed in the hands of those who owned merchandise and ships, the work which had to be done on their vessels, and which thus could be done by them under the ordinary business rules that controled such things elsewhere. The quarantine law, which had grown by successive enactments into an au- thority for oppressive administration, was codified and relaxed from some if its provisions, only retaining what was necessary of sanitary restraint for the public safety, and these changes urged upon the legislature. For the first time in the history of quarantine, we find commerce sustaining it. Mercantile as-

sociations. passed complimentary and approving resolutions, and petitioned the legislature in favor of every change recom- mended by Dr. VAN DER POEL. Branches of trade which had left New York apparently forever, to avoid the expenses in- cident to their quarantine detention, are returning. In all this there is no relaxation of sanitary restraint necessary for the pro- tection of the whole northern and western United States, which depend upon this port for their immigrations, but sanitary regulations which the doctor considered as his legitimate care, were made more strict than before; the whole success of his administration being the judicious "re-arrangement of the system under curtailed expenses, and the exercise of the same executive ability for which he had been distinguished in previ- ous positions. In January, 1876, he was elected to the chair of Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Albany Medical College, a position which, with his duties of Health Officer of the Port, he has since earnestly sustained. As a physician he is equally learned in theory, and skillful in practice. To large native endowments he adds the highest cultivation. An extensive library, whose ample stores are carefully enriched with all the latest publications, both American and foreign, keeps him fully abreast of the ripest thought and best achievements in medical science. He has also a keen taste for general literature, and, besides being a successful physician, is a gentleman of large public spirit and genial culture."- [From the Contemporary Biography of New York.]

In a will made by her and her husband GERRIT VAN NES, December 6, 1707, they refer to a contract made February 14, 1676-7, before they were married, according to which William Van Alen, mariner, was to have property belonging to his mother, wife of GERRIT VAN NES, at her decease, provided Jannetje, the wife of Lourens Van Schaick, a daughter of (1) Jan Jans Oothout (niece of GERRIT VAN NES), and (4) Mayeke (another daughter fo (1) Jan Jans Oothout), the wife of (6) Thomas Harmense Hun, have an amount of equal value in clothing.

* Holgate says Geertje, daughter of Levinus Van Schaick, married Andrew Drayer, admiral in the Dutch service, but this cannot be correct if Levinus was the son of Gozen by Annetje Livesen, whom he married in 1657. For if Levinus was 25 years old when married and his daughter was born the next year, she would have been born eight years after the records say Captain Drayer was married.

VAN VECHTEN.
In "O'Callaghan's History of New Netherlands" mention is made of Teunis Cornelissen Van Vechten as succeeding Michaelse Jansen on his farm in 1646, and as living in 1648 at the south end of Greenbush, Rensselaer county, N. Y. Also of Teunis Dircksen Van Vechten who came to this country with wife, child and two servants in the Arms of Norway, and had a farm in 1648 at Greenbush, north of that occupied by TEUNIS CORNELISSEN VAN VECHTEN. He is referred to in 1663 as an old inhabitant. Of the former nothing further has been found on the record. The children of the latter settled in Rensselaerwyck and on the banks of the Hudson below Fort Orange. The following notes relate chiefly to the Catskill branch of the family, and were furnished in part by Henry Brace, Esq., of New York.
