CHAPTER XXXVIII
OLD DUTCH FAMILIES AT NEW PALTZ AND VICINITY
The Dutch families residing at New Paltz and vicinity pre- vious to the Revolution for a greater or less length of time include the Eltings, the Lows, the Roses, the Clearwaters, the Van Wagenens, and the Ostranders of Plattekill.
The Dutch element was always quite small at New Paltz.
None of the Dutch families who located in New Paltz be- came permanent settlers here except the Eltings and the Van Wagenens, though the Lows remained through several genera- tions.
There is this difficulty in tracing the ancestry of Dutch families : that is while the Huguenots all had surnames when they came to Ulster county nearly all the Dutch are first recorded on the church book by their Christian names alone, although some of them had surnames used in legal documents. The Jansens are descended from Jan Mattys, the Lows from Peter Cornelis, the Clearwaters from Tunis Jacobse, the Roses from Albert Hymans, the Van Wagenens from Aaert Jacob- son, who was the son of Jacob Geritson. The Ostranders took the name from "east strand," where the ancestor of the family lived. The name Ean simply means "one." Where it is recorded in the church book by a French minister it is written "un" and when by a Dutch minister Ein or Een.

CHAPTER XXXIX
THE LOW FAMILY AT NEW PALTZ
The ancestor of the Low family in Ulster county is Peter Cornelius, who sailed from Holstein in 1659. He married Elizabeth Blanshan, daughter of Matthew Blanshan and sister of the wife of Louis DuBois, the New Paltz Patentee, at Kingston in 1668. His name was entered on the church record simply as Peter Cornelis, the surname of Low not yet having been adopted. His sons were Matthew, Peter, Cornelius, Jacob, born in 1683; Johannis and Abraham, born in 1688. Peter and Cornelius received land grants in Shawangunk and Wawarsing.
Matthew married Jannetje Van Heyning. His two sons, Peter, born in 1700, and Johannes, born in 1706, located in New Paltz. Peter married Catharine, daughter of Solomon DuBois of Paughwaughtanonk, in New Paltz, in 1722, and his name on the marriage register is set down as residing at New Paltz. He quite certainly lived on the southern part of the land of his father-in-law at Paughwaughtanonk and his de- scendants afterwards lived there for many years.
The name of Peter Low appears as a freeholder in New Paltz in 1728 and again on the tax list of 1765 as still living in the Paughwaughtanonk neighborhood. His sons were Jona- than, born in 1724; Solomon, born in 1725 (located at Spring- town), and Isaac, born in 1730, who lived where his father had lived. When the Conferentia church was organized, in 1767, Peter Low and his two sons, Solomon and Isaac, united with it. The Low family long had a blacksmith shop at
469
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
Paughwaughtanonk and the name is found on one or more tombstones in the burying-ground near where the blacksmith shop stood on the farm now occupied by LeFevre DuBois on the County House Plains.
Johannes, the brother of Peter, sometimes wrote his name Johannes M. and sometimes Johannes, Jr. He located in New Paltz village, married, about 1735, Rebecca, daughter of Hugo Freer, Senior, and after his father-in-law's death occupied his house, the northernmost of the old stone houses, still standing on Huguenot street in this village, and here his descendants lived for many years.
The children of Johannes M. Low and Rebecca Freer were Johannes, born in 1736; Maria, born in 1738 (married Roelif J. Elting) ; Jacob, born in 1743 ; Lena, born in 1745; Simeon, born in 1747. Johannes M. Low still occupied the homestead in 1765. After his death it passed into the possession of his son Simeon, who married Christina McMullen. The children were Ezekiel, born in 1777, David, Janitje, Maria, Jacob and. Samuel. Jacob Low taught school in this vicinity for a long time. All of the Low family at New Paltz finally died out or moved away.

CHAPTER XL
THE KLAARWATER (CLEARWATER) FAMILY
The Klaarwaters were one of the most ancient families in Holland. For centuries they owned and to this day own estates at Baarn, near Rotterdam. Its members were among the founders of the Dutch Republic, and achieved distinction in the wars of Holland.
Theunis Jacobsen Klaarwater, the founder of the Clear- water family in America, was born at Baarn in 1624. He was a soldier of Holland and a graduate of the University of Leyden. He came from Holland to Niew Amsterdam, went to Esopus (Kingston) and subsequently to Bontecoe.
In the year 1709 Queen Anne granted to him, to his son, Jacob Klaarwater, his brother-in-law, Hendrick Vernooy, his son's father-in-law, Abraham Doiau (Deyo), Rip Van Dam, Adolph Phillipse, Dr. Gerardus Beekman and Colonel Wil- liam Peartree a patent of 4,000 acres of land in this county.
The patent is recorded in the office of the Secretary of State, in Book 7 of patents, at page 54, and embraces that tract in the present town of Shawangunk bounded by the Wallwill on the east, the Dwaarskill on the south and the Shawangunkkill on the west.
Theunis Jacobsen was one of the founders of the Reformed Protestant Dutch church at Kingston, commonly known as the First Dutch. He was chosen by the citizens of Kingston commissioner to present to the British Crown their protest
47I
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
against the arrogant and illegal conduct of the com- mandant of the English garrison stationed at Kingston under the English rule, a . duty discharged with ability and dignity.
- After his removal to Bontecoe he joined the Huguenot church at New Paltz. His son Jacob, who was born in Hol- land, married Marie, daughter of Pierre Doiau (Deyo), one of the patentees. He was the first Dutchman to marry a daughter of one of the New Paltz Patentees.
Theunis Jacobsen and Jacob were among the freeholders of the New Paltz Patent whose names appear upon the oldest tax list of the Patent now extant, that of 1712, which is preserved . among the archives of the Memorial House.
Theunis Jacobsen died in 1715 and was buried in the orchard of his farm at Bontecoe, which is still owned by one of his descendants.
A tablet, designed by Charles R. Lamb, the architect of the Dewey Arch, was erected on the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, 1899, in the Dutch church at Kingston to his memory, and that of some of his lineal descendants by Judge Clearwater of Kingston, his descendant six degrees removed.
The tablet is of white marble, framed by Corinthian pil- asters, with capitals and frieze supported by heavy corbels. Upon the frieze is a scroll, on which is carved a pair of crossed swords on the model of those used by the officers of the continental army, intertwined with oak leaves, the symbol of strength and heroism, surmounted by the words "In Me- oriam." At the base of the tablet is the inscription, "Fide Et Fortitudine," intertwined with ivy leaves, the symbol of remembrance and longevity. Each capital is crowned with a scallop shell, the emblem of the Pilgrim. The inscription is

HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
Clearwater, who for many years was the president of the Board of Education and the president of the Board of Water Commissioners of the city of Cincinnati ; the Reverend Charles Knapp Clearwater, now pastor of the old Reformed Protestant Dutch church of Newton, L. I .; Charles Hiram Clearwater, one of the pioneer manufacturers of Rosendale cement in this county ; Colonel Alfred Clearwater, one of the leading citi- zens of Northern Pennsylvania, and the Honorable Alphonso Trumpbour Clearwater, LL. D., who three times has been Dis- trict Attorney and twice County Judge of Ulster county, and afterwards Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. During the two hundred and forty years the family has been settled here its members have intermarried with many of the old Dutch and Huguenot county families, and those inter- ested in tracing their descent from its founder should consult among other family genealogies, those of Beekman, Burger, Davis, DePew, DeWitt, Deyo, DuBois, Elmendorf, Freer, Helm, Houghtaling, Hoffman, Kortright, Schoonmaker, Ter- williger, Trumpbour, Van Leuven, Van Wagenen, Vernooy, Wood.
The family always has been prominent in the American wars to every one of which it has contributed more than its full quota of men, and always its members have taken a deep and warm interest in the Dutch Church and in the cause of education, and during the entire period the family name con- stantly appears among the founders of churches and schools in the neighborhood in which its members have lived.

CHAPTER XLI
THE EAN FAMILY AT NEW PALTZ
There has been a question as to whether the Ean family was of French or Dutch extraction. But this question seems to be settled by the Council Minutes of New York vol. 8, p. 131, Sept. 7, 1699, where there is mention of a petition of Elias Ueen for assistance in consideration of his suffering as a French Protestant.
Elias Eign (spelled by the French Un or Yn) married Elizabeth, daughter of Anthoine Crespel, the Patentee. An- other daughter of Anthoine Crespel, the Patentee, named Maria (or Maria Maddaleen), also settled at New Paltz and married a Dutchman, Mattys C. Sleght. We have very little knowledge of Sleght or his children, although as late as 1724 we find the name of Mattys Sleght, Jun., signed to the agreement of the 24 proprietors of the Patent at that time, authorizing the Duzine to give title to land. The Sleght family certainly did not long remain at New Paltz. Ean and his descendants always remained here. In the tax list of 1712 he is assessed £35. In 1718 his name appears as the only per- son, not of the Patentees' families, who assisted in building the first stone church. In the agreement of the 24 proprietors in 1724, authorizing the Duzine to give title to land, appear the names of Jan Een, Elizabeth Een, Sarah Een and Maria Mad- daleen Een. These were undoubtedly the widow and children of Elias. We have no means of determining whether he lived always in the village or moved in his later years to the home- stead at Bontecoe, where his descendants have lived ever since. In the tax list of 1728 the property is assessed to "Elias Ean's

widow" at £20. Her father, Anthony Crespel, always re- mained at Hurley, and in 1693 he sold a plot of land in this village, probably the lot assigned to him for a home to Hugo Freer, Sen., as is shown by the original deed, in the possession of the writer.
Jan Ean, son of Elias, married, in 1735, Geesje Roosa. In the marriage record, recorded in the church book at Kingston, the bride is set down as being from Marbletown and the groom as born at Hurley and residing "at Mond-Albany, in the juris- diction of Paltz." The clerk who made the record undoubtedly misunderstood the name of the locality and should have written Bontecoe, where, on the farm about 31/2 miles north of the village, Jan Ean lived and died and his grave is pointed out till the present day, and on this farm his descendants still live.
The children of Jan Ean were Elizabeth, Margaret, Elias, Abraham (born in 1741) and Isaac. We have no account of these sons except Abraham. The others probably died in in- fancy or boyhood. In the old stone house, which has lately tumbled into ruins, on a stone beside the front door appear the inititials A. E. and J. E., showing that Jan Ean and his son Abraham together built the house. About two miles down the Wallkill a lot of about ten acres of fertile lowland in one of the great bends of the stream belonged to the Eans as early as 1730, as shown by a paper in possession of the writer. It is called the Half Moon in this paper and retains that name until the present day. It was owned by the Eans until about 1880. Jan Ean died before 1755 and in that year Geesje Ean, widow of Jan, is set down in the list of slave-owners in the town. In a map of the Patent, made in 1760 by Louis Bevier, the house of Geesje Ean is the only one set down. She was a woman of note in the community and is still remembered by the Le- Fevres, who owned the adjoining farm, for her help to the sick.
477
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
Abraham Ean came next in possession of the farm. In 1765 Abraham was married, at Kingston, to Catharine Van Wage- nen, who was born at Hurley and resided at Wagondahl (Creek Locks) at the time of the marriage, as stated in the record on the church book. In the division in the church between the Cœtu's and Conferentia parties Abraham seems to have sided with the latter party and his mother with the Cœtus, as Abraham's name appears as one of the subscribers to the Conferentia church then built, and in 1772 his mother's name appears as a contributor to the building of the second church in our village.
In the Revolutionary War Abraham Ean served on the frontier as a member of Capt. Abraham Deyo's company, Third Ulster County Regiment.
The children of Abraham Ean and Catharine Van Wagenen, his wife, were Elias (born in 1768), Annetje, Rachel, Catha- rine and Peter (born in 1781). The three daughters all mar- ried and located directly across the Wallkill in the Springtown neighborhood. Rachel married David Deyo (grandfather of Rev. Paul T.). Catharine married Jonathan Deyo (grand- father of James E.). Annetje married Benjamin Hasbrouck. Peter, who was the younger son, occupied the farm during his long life. He married Maria Freer. From Peter the farm descended to Abraham Ean, who was an only son, and occu- pied the farm during his lifetime.
Going back now to Elias, son of Abraham, we find that he married Elizabeth Hasbrouck of Springtown. He built the stone house at Middletown, which passed to his son, Elias, Jun., and in the next generation to James Ean. This house, still standing with its gable end to the road, bears, deeply cut in a stone in the southwest corner of the building, the date of erec- tion, 1789, and the initials of the builders, E. E. (Elias Ean)
478
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
and R. H. B. (Roelif Hasbrouck). A peculiarity of this old house was that the stone oven, instead of being incorporated in the building as in other stone houses was built on a rock across the street, where it stood until modern times. Elias Ean was for a number of years an officer in the church and was a much respected man. His sons were Elias, who occu- pied the farm after his father's death, and Jacobus, who spent his days in the Middletown neighborhood. A daughter, Eliza- beth, born in 1807, married - - Snyder. She lived to the extraordinary age of 95 years.
TOM CLIP
When our village boys and girls skate down the Wallkill in winter they have a landmark about a mile below Spring- town, which is known as Tom Clip, at the farm of the Misses Ean. Few know what the words Tom Clip mean. This is the explanation : Tom was a negro and "clip" is the Dutch . word for a precipitous rock. There is a large rock in the Wallkill surrounded by deep water. On the land adjoining is a cliff of slate rock, which commands an extensive view. But Tom Clip is not the cliff on the shore. It is the large rock in the deep water. This is the history of the name: Long, long ago when there were slaves in this state the Ean family owned a negro named Tom. Tom had a custom of diving from this rock in the Wallkill and swimming a long distance under water. Sometimes he would not rise to the surface until nearly across the Wallkill. Once in the sight of spectators he dived from this rock as he had done before. But he did not rise to the surface as he had done at other times. He never rose to swim out to the shore and join his companions. Ever since that day the spot has been known as "Tom Clip" in memory of the negro who here lost his life.

CHAPTER XLII
THE VAN WAGENEN FAMILY AT NEW PALTZ
The first Van Wagenen at New Paltz was Petrus Van Wagenen, whose father Archa resided at Creek Locks (called by the old people Wagondahl) in a house near the residence of the late Washington LeFevre.
Petrus married, at Kingston, June 15, 1760, Sarah Low, daughter of Simeon Low of New Paltz village. In the mar- riage record on the church book Petrus is set down as residing at Wagondale and his wife as residing at New Paltz. They probably took up their residence at New Paltz immediately after the marriage. Petrus' house, one mile northeast of the village, is still standing, but has not been occupied for many years. Part of the eastern wall has tumbled down. It is the most picturesque ruin anywhere in the vicinity of New Paltz, and the artist's brush of Mr. A. Scott Cox has placed it on canvas in a very attractive manner. It stands in a field about half a mile northwest of Put Corners.
In the tax list of 1765 Petrus is assessed £8 IOS. In 1767 he, with other New Paltz people of Dutch descent transferred his membership from the church at Kingston to the newly- organized Conferentia church at New Paltz, which had just erected a house of worship about two miles from the village on the west side of the Wallkill. Petrus lived to the extraor- dinary age of 92 years. He was by trade a stone mason. His name appears as one of the enlisted men in the Third Ulster County Regiment in the Revolutionary war.
Petrus and his wife had a large family of children. The fol- lowing are recorded on the church book at Kingston as being
480
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
baptized from 1761 to 1766: Jonathan, Daniel, Ezekiel, Levi. The following are recorded on the church book at New Paltz as being baptized from 1766 to 1778: Catharine, Lucas, Maria, Aert (in English Archa) and Sarah.
In the Revolutionary war Daniel and Levi served in the stockade at Wawarsing and Daniel was in the stockade when it was attacked by Tories and Indians. Daniel left three sons, all of whom went west. Archa wrote his name Archa P. He married, in 1800, Maria Freer. They lived for a time in the old homestead and for a time on what is now the Abner DuBois farm at Middletown. Archa P. served in the war of 1812 in the 92d Regiment, Heavy Artillery. He was on Lake Ontario and in the fight at Lake Mills in Canada. He re- ceived 160 acres of land for his services in war, but it was afterwards sold for taxes. Archa P. left two sons, Jonas, who resided at Plutarch, and Alexander; also one daughter, Magdalen, who married Jacob Bedford.
Lucas Van Wagenen, son of Petrus, married Cornelia Mar- kle. They lived in the house still standing just south of the present church-yard; at least Mrs. Van Wagenen lived there after her husband's death, which occurred in 181I, at the age of 41. The children of Lucas and Cornelia Van Wagenen were Benjamin, born in 1796; Jonathan, born in 1798; Janetje, born in 1800; Maria, born in 1803. We have no account of any of these children except Benjamin and one daughter, who married James Mitchell of Shawangunk. Benjamin married Catharine, daughter of Judge Jonathan DuBois of Springtown. They lived in the building now the Huguenot bank. Benjamin Van Wagenen was a very prominent citizen of our village in his day. There was no lawyer in New Paltz until long after that time and the legal business required in the place was done by Benj. Van Wagenen.

CHAPTER XLIII
THE ELTINGE FAMILY IN NEW PALTZ
The following account of the Eltinge family so far as it relates to Jan, the original Eltinge in Ulster county, was de- rived mainly from the researches of Jonathan W. Hasbrouck and is given in his words :
Jan Elten, the ancestor of all the Eltinges in Ulster county, was born in Holland, at Swichsaelen, a dependency of Beyle, in the province of Drenthe, on the 29th day of July (old style) 1632. He was the son of Roelif and Aaltje Elten and known to be of a numerous and respectable family. The first mention I find on record concerning him I find in one of the volumes of the Transactions of the Dutch, at Albany, in a commission, issued Sept. 6, 1675, by authority of E. Andross, Governor, constituting and appointing Capt. Thomas Chambers to be a justice of the peace for Kingston, Hurley and Marbletown and dependencies in Esopus and also for him and George Hall, the sheriff, Cornelius Slecht, W. Nottingham, John Elten (or Jan Eltinge) and John Biggs, or any four or more of them to hold a court of sessions twice a year at Kingston, to hear and determine all appeals and causes, as a court of sessions, ac- cording to law. He must therefore have emigrated from Hol- land a considerable time prior to that date. In 1680 a certifi- cate, signed by the church officers at Beyle was executed for his benefit, in which he is commended by them to the favorable regard of all to whose knowledge its contents should be made known. This must have been sent to him years after his residence here.

482
HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
Being associated, as above, with Cornelius Slecht, one of the first settlers of Esopus, he doubtless became intimate with him and his family, thus forming an acquaintance with Cor- nelius' daughter Jacomyntje, whom he married about the year 1677. The mother of Jacomyntje was Tryntje Tyssenbos. Jacomyntje had had two previous husbands, Jan Barentsen Kunst and Gerrit Foecken, by whom she had four children, one of whom by Gerrit Foecken, named Tryntje married Solomon DuBois of New Paltz. Jan Elten took out a patent for land in Hurley in Jan Eltinge and his wife Jacomyntje had five children, as follows: Roelif, baptized in 1678, who settled in New Paltz and married Sarah DuBois; Cornelius, baptized in 1681, who settled in Marbletown and married Rebecca Van Meeteren; William, who settled in Kingston, and married Janetje Lesier; Grietje, who married Thos. Hall of Somerset Co., N. J., son of Sheriff George Hall and Aaltje who married Aart Gerritse of Kingston, son of Gerrit Aartse.
Jan Eltinge signed the treaty made by the Paltz Huguenots. and the Indians, in the spring of 1677, as one of the witnesses. On the 8th of June, 1686, Jan Eltinge and Gerrit Aertson, father of his son-in-law, and Arien Roosa bought a lot of land at Rhinebeck; "Right over against the Rondout Creek" by a small creek called Quaawanoss. This is now the home of Hon. Levi P. Morton. The price paid for the land was 6 suits of stremuater (a kind of coarse cloth), 6 duffels, 4 blankets, 5 kettles, 4 guns, 5 hoes, 5 axes, 10 cases powder, 10 bars of lead, 8 sheets, 8 pairs stockings, 40 fathoms wam- pum, 2 drawing knives, two adzes, ten knives, half an anker of rum (anker is ten gallons) and one frying pan.
Jan Eltinge had a brother Bartlett and a sister Maria.

HISTORY OF NEW PALTZ
ROELIF THE FIRST ELTINGE AT NEW PALTZ
Roelif, the eldest son of Jan Eltinge, was baptized October 27, 1678, and married, in 1703, Sarah, daughter of Abm. Du- Bois, the Patentee, who was the son of Louis DuBois, the Patentee. He settled at New Paltz about 1720. We have reason to believe that Roelif lived for several years on Hugue- not street in this village, in a house which stood a short dis- tance south of the old stone house of Isaiah Hasbrouck and was torn down in 1800. In his later days he located a short distance outside the south bounds of the Paltz patent, where Edmund Eltinge resided, on a portion of a patent of land, lying on both sides of the Wallkill, granted to the Patentee, Louis DuBois, and by him conveyed to his sons, Solomon and Louis, Jr., both of whom settled on a part of this tract lying on the west side of the Wallkill. The deed from Solomon and Louis DuBois to Roelif Eltinge was in the possession of Edmund Eltinge and is dated February 4, 1726-7. (The last two figures are written in a fractional form, customary in those days, to indicate the difference of old and new style.) Geo. Van Wagoner is one of the witnesses of this deed. On this tract, a short distance south of Edmund Eltinge's resi- dence, Roelif built a stone house and here ended his days. This house was burned about 1820. Some of the stones of the old house are in the kitchen walls of the present residence. One of these bears the inscription "Anno 1742." This old stone house was erected at different periods and a part of it may have been erected by Roelif Eltinge at a still earlier date. Roelif had four sons, Noah, Josias, Abraham and Johannes, and three daughters, Jacomyntje, Margaretta and Cattrina. We have little further knowledge of any of these children except Noah, Josias and Margaretta.
