peared. The perpendicular rock on the top of the moun- tain, dircetly opposite their house, which, from the locality in which the latter stool, in its form resembled a nose, re- ceived the name of ". Gertruyd's Nose," which it still retains.
The youngest son of Jacobus and Gertruyd Bruyn, whose name was also Jacobus, married Katrina Schoon- maker, and settled on the Lloyd patent, where he built a large two-story stone dwelling-house near the Shawangunk Creek, which is still standing. He died on Nov. 21, 1744, in the sixty-fourth year of his age, and was buried at Zach- ariah Hoffman's burial-place, near the spot where his sister Esther had been before that time iuterred. His wife, Ka- trina, died Aug. 27, 1763, in her seventy-ninth year, and was buried at Kyserike. on the west side of the Shawanguuk Mountain, near two of her grandchildren.
The children of Jacobus and Katrina Bruyn are said to have been fifteen in number ; among them were Jacobus, Cornelius, Johannes, Severyn, Katrina. Mary, and Anna. Katrina became the wife of Abraham Hasbrouck, of Kings- ton ; Mary married Teaae Hasbrouck, and Anna, Solomon Van Wagenen.
Jacobus Bruyn, Jr., eldest son of Jacobus and Katrina, was clucated a lawyer, and resided in Shawangunk, in the house built by his father on the Lloyd patent. He was active in all public affairs, and for many years the leading spirit of the town. Ile married Jeannie Graham, of Shawanguck, and died April 26, 1781, at the advanced age of seventy-four. The children of Jacobus and Jean- nic Bruyn were Jacobus, Severyn, Johannes, Cornelius, Thomas, Gertruyd, who married Cornelius Du Bois, of New Paltz, and Maria, who married Nicholas Hardenburgh, of Shawangauk.
Cornelius Bruyn, son of Jacobus and Katrina, married a daughter of Zachariah Hoffman, and resided in Shawangunk, on the west side of the Wallkill, a few miles north of Gale- ville. Ile left two sons-Abraham and Zachariah-and a daughter, who married Mathusalem Du Bois, of New Paltz. Severyn Bruyn, son of Jacobus and Jeannie Bruyn, mar- ried Margaret Anderson, of New York. Ile resided in the ohl homestead built by his grandfather at Shawangunk, was a prominent taan in the town, and a member of the State Legislature. He left three sons-James S., Severyn T., and Thomas -- and two daughters, Margaret and Sophia.
Among the early settlers of the northwest part of the town were two brothers named Thomas and Johannes Jan- sen. They crected stouc dwellings, about two miles apart, and engaged in the cultivation of the soil. At an early period of the Revolution, Johannes Jansen was appointed colonel of a militia regiment. This, in addition to his known Whig sentiments, made him a peculiar object of vengeance to the prowling: Tories and Indians that lurked about the neighborhood. The colonel's house was so constructed as to be a good defense against any sudden attack, and being well armed he did not remove his family from the place. In the latter part of September, 1780, when most of the In- dians had left the region and no fears of an attack were entertained, a party of four Indians and a Tory made an attack upon Col. Jensen's premises. One of the party, known as " Shank's Ben," had spent the early years of his life in the neighborhood and was well acquainted with every
