This branch of the family settled in Somerville, N. J. Those of the family now living there have dropped the "u" from the name.
It will appear from the following article, taken from the " History of Hudson County, N. Y.," that JOHANNES DOUW owned a Ferry across the Hackensack River.
" DOUW's FERRY.
This ferry was located at the westerly end of Cherry Lane, about one hundred and seventy-five feet north of the present bridge of the New Jersey Railroad over the Hackensack River. It was probably set up about the time that Col. John Schuyler constructed the Belleville Turnpike during the French war, and remained in operation until superseded by the bridge erected in 1794. It received it. name from JOHN Douw, a friend of Col. Schuyler. He had formerly operated the ferry over the Passaic at Belleville. The ferry house was on the west side of the Hackensack. Douw used it also as a public house, where he entertained travellers and guests. Bangs says that here June 27, 1776, by him and Schuyler, 'many decanters of wine suffered shipwreck and mony bowles of grog were poured down. Nor was egg pop forgot among our dainties.' It was at this ferry that boats had been provided,

Douw.
on the night of Lee's attack on Paulus Hoeck, to carry over the troops on their retreat. Their delay induced those in charge to believe that the forces had retreated along the hill, and therefore the boats were taken away. Lee's advance passing down Cherry Lane, reached the ferry only to find it deserted.
