ABNER HASBROUCK.
This gentleman is the lineal descendant in the sixth generation from Abraham Hasbrouck, one of the original twelve Huguenot patentees of New Paltz. The line of descent is as follows: 1st, Abraham ; 2d, Joseph ; 3d, Abraham ; 4th, Joseph ; 5th, Joseph, Jr. Abner Hasbrouck was born in the town of New Paltz (now Gardiner), Ulster Co., N. Y., May 28, 1811, the eldest son of Joseph, Jr., and Jane Hasbronek. There were eleven children in his father's family, five of whom attained adult age. Of these O:er Hasbrouck is a prominent farmer, living in the town of Plattekill; Alfred, a physician, in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. ; and Joseph L., a farmer, owning and carrying on the homestead farm in Gardiner. The father lived and died at the home- stead in Gardiner; the mother died at the residence of her son, Oscar, in Plattekill. Abner received his education under the instruction of Robert Bell at the village of Libertyville, in the town of Gardiner, supplemented by nearly three years' attendance at the Fishkill Academy, under Dr. Westbrook. He married, Feb. 13, 1840, Pamela, second daughter of Josiah and Elizabeth (Hlasbronck) Du Bois. Mrs. Hasbrouck was born in the town of New Paltz, July 4, 1812. Her father and mother were natives of New Paltz. Mr. and Mrs. Hasbrouck have had
four children, viz., Joseph, born Feb. 7, 1845, died September, 1849; Elizabeth Bevier, born May 4, 1852, wife of George W. Birch, a farmer, living in Shawangunk; Josephine, born July 29, 1854, wife of Luther J. Hait, a merchant, in Brunswick; and Abner, born March 20, 1856, living with his mother and carrying on the home farm. Soon after his marriage (April 20, 1840), Mr. Hasbrouck moved on to the farm in South Gardiner, on the Shawan- gunk Creek, where he continued to live to the time of' his death, which occurred in September, 1875. From the time Gardiner became a town no man exerted a more commanding influence in the conduct of its business affairs than did Abner Hasbrouck. He was elected its first supervisor in 1853; was chair- man of the board of supervisors from 1855 to 1862 inelusive, and was again elected in 1871. In politics he was a Republican, and decidedly the leader of his party in his locality. Though not a member, he was an attendant and supporter of the Wallkill Valley Refermed Church in Shawangunk. He wa- a large-hearted, whole-souled man, and in his death every poor man of Gardiner lost a friend. He was often called to act as arbiter in the settlement of property matters among his neighbors, and his de- cisions were always acquiesced in as eminently just.
GARDINER.
I .- GEOGRAPHICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE.
This is an interior town, lying south of the centre of the county. It is very irregular in outline. Ou the north lie the towns of Rochester and New Paltz, on the cast the town of Plattekill, on the south the town of Shawangunk, and on the west the towns of Wawarsing and Rochester. The farm acreage of the town is 24,361, and the population, as given by the census of 1875, 1700.
The boundaries of the town, as defined by the revised statutes of the State, are as follows :

IL-NATURAL FEATURES.
The surface of the town is rolling in the east and hilly ta the west aml centre, The Shawangnok Mountains ex- ind along the western border of the town, and at their the lies a broad table-land of rich and productive soil, cut.
up into many fine farms. The soil is chiefly a gravelly loam, with clay and alluvium along the streams. " The Traps" is a deep gully, 650 feet wide, extending through the mountains. The water-courses of the town are quite abundant, furnishing considerable water-power. The Wall Kill flows northeast, nearly through the centre of the town, and the Shawangunk enters the town at the southern border, flows north to near the centre of the town, and then takes an easterly course to its junction with the Wall Kill, near Tuthill. The Mara Kill and Kline Kill are important tributaries of the Shawangunk Kill.
III .- EARLY SETTLEMENT.
Many facts of interest relating to the first settlement and carly development of this town will naturally be sought for in the histories of the towns of Rochester, New Paltz, and Shawangunk, of which towns the present territory of Gardiner formerly comprised a part. To those the reader is referred for manch in.formation of importance and value. A large portion of the present town was settled by the French Unguenots under the auspices and encouragement of the " twelve patentees" of New Paltz. Still another portion was settled by the Dutch of Shawangunk and Rochester, who usually located along the streamas. The whole western seetion of the town was taken off from the Rochester patent, the northerly and easterly sections from the New Paltz patent, and the southern from Shawrangunk. Subsequently the entire tract became cut up or subdivided into smaller tracts. Among these were those of G. Burnett, S. Du Bois, HI. L. Du Bois, and Lewis Du Bois, in the north part of the town. In the eastern portions lie the T. Garland and Huddleston tracts, and in the southern scetion those of M. Schoonmaker, J. Ratsen and Jacobus Bruyn, T. Lord, Hoffman & Co., Philips, and Peter Matthew & Co.
Cornelius Hoornbeck was one of the first settlers of the town, and resided where his son James now resides. Ilis children were John, Benjamin, James, Luther, Catharine, Magdalena, Mary, and Jane.
John Hoornbeck located in the town and raised a family consisting of Cornelius, Maria, Susan, Ann, and Christina. The last resides in town, and is the widow of Lewis Le Pever. Benjamin also settled in town' and bad six children, viz. : William, Cornelias, Jeremiah, Mary Ann, Esther, and Em- eline. Cornelius resides in town. Esther is the wife of Walter Dunn, and Emeline the wife of John J. Da Bois, and both reside in town.
Jannes Hoornbeck occupies the old homestrad. Luther resides in Shawangunk. William Johnson, grandson of Catharine Hoornbeck, lives in town. Magdalena became the wife of Napoleon J. Le Fever and the mother of Du Bois Le Fever, who is an old resident of the town.

HISTORY OF ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
Abraham Schoonmaker was another of the early settlers of the town, and an adjutant in the Revolution. He lived where Jonathan Stevens now resides. His father's name was Hendricus, with whom Abraham came to the town. Besides the latter there were also older sons, -Isaac and Henry. The father owned a large tract of land in the southern part of the town, consisting of some 2000 aeres. This all passed to Isaac, upon the death of Hendricus, by the law of primogeniture. The latter, however, proved liberal, and presented to his younger brother, Abraham, 900 neres of land. Isaac resided on the land now owned by Henry Denton. Abraham Schoonmaker married Sarah Van Wyck, and had children,-Cornelius, George, John A., David, Albert, Moses, Abraham, and Selah. The old farm was divided up among these children, and all save Albert settled in the town and occupied the farmns. The entire tract extended from Rutsen patent line to Shawanguuk Mountain, from Shawangunk to Rochester. Hannah, the widow of William Johnston, resides in town, as do also Isaae and Margaret, the wife of Du Bois Le Fever. John resides in Newburgh. Abraham and Hiram live in Michi- gan. James Le Fever is a grandson of David; Levi, son of Moses, lives in town. Henry, Abraham, and Anthony Denton are grandchildren of Abraham, and live in town. William, son of Selah, also resides in town.
Matthew Sammons was another of the first settlers of the town. He owned a tract of 700 acres of land, extend- ing from Tuthill to " Mark Kill," including the present site of Tuthill. His oldest son, Gustavus, located on the farm owned by Isaac Schoonmaker. ITe married Maria Terwilliger, and had children,-Rachel, Maria, Margaret, Jacob, Gustavus, Matthew, and Cornelius. Rachel married John A. Schoonmaker; Maria, Abraham Schoonmaker ; and Margaret, Daniel Hollister. Matthew married Eliza- beth Deyo, and has a grandson, Jehn Sammons, residing in town.
The Bruyn family was also one of the carliest to locate in the town. Sophrine Bruyn was one of the early mem- bers of the family, and owned a traet of some 2000 acres in the town. He had three sons, among whom were Jacobus and Sophrine. The father located on the tract, and after his death it was divided between the three brothers. Sophrine subsequently met with financial difi- culties, and the property was divided between the remain- ing two brothers. The house now occupied by John V. McKinstry, and situated on the west bank of the Shawan- gunk Creek, was built by Jacobus Bruyn in 1724, as ap- pears from a block of marble containing the following in- scription :
" Time is a devourer of all things. JACOBUS BRUYN, 1724. Virtue is a driver away of all vices."
The family is not now represented in the town, and the tract of land which they formerly occupied now comprises the farms of Abraham Schoonmaker, Morris Jansen, John V. Mckinstry, the heirs of T. V. W. Swift, David Du Bois, Floyd S. MeKinstry, Addison MeCuen, James Jansen, JJo- seph Beecher, and Edmund Bruyn, the latter large tract previously being owned by John C. and Richard Brodhead.
Johu I. Evans was also an carly settler iu the town, and
resided near Rutsenville. Mr. T. Edmunds resides there now. The family was a very large one, consisting of nine- teen children, among whom were Israel and Methusalem. They most all settled in the town of Shawangunk.
At Libertyville, Charles Du Bois was one of the earliest settlers. Derrick Du Bois, his son, resides there now. Cor- nelius and Methosalem Du Bois were also carly settlers in the same locality.
The Merritt family were also carly located at Liberty- ville, and Daniel Requa, who located where George Freer resides.
Jonas and Louis Du Bois were early settlers in the north part of the town, opposite Libertyville, their father owning all the tract between the creeks.
In the eastern part of the town the Le Fever family were the first and most prominent settlers. Johannes Le Fever was an early representative of the family there. His brother was also another carly settler at the same point, which was formerly known as " Kittle-burgh." Matthias and Na- thanich Le Fever, sons of Johannes, settled in town, also Andrus P., Philip, Abraham P., Solomon, and Jonas, sons of the other brother, and all of whom save Abraham P. still reside in town.
The Deyo family, one of the oldest and most influential Huguenot families of New Paltz, also settled in the eastern part of the town at a very early day. Jonathan Deyo was an early and prominent representative of the family. His son, Dr. Abraham Deyo, still occupies the old homestead. Dr. Daniel Deyo was also an early and influential suember of the family, and resided on the " Kittle-burgh" roal. llis son Alfred is one of the leading and most influential . citizens of the town.
At Tuthill the Sammons family have already been re- ferred to as carly settlers. Tjerck Van Keuren was carly located between the two creeks, and on the opposite side of the Wallkill from the Saumons family. William, Levi. Bogardus, and Abraham were sons of Tjerek Van Keuren, and all settled in town. Levi, son of Bogardus, resides in town. Selah Tuthill, after whom the settlement at the! point was subsequently named, purchased 60 aeres of the land of the Samimions family.
Gev. Joseph Hasbrouck was a prominent and early at- tler in the central portion of the town, and owned a trant of some 700 or S00 acres of land. Lewis Hardenbergh and Jonathan Deyo cach own fine farms out of this traut now. Other members of the Hasbrouck family were als) carly and influential citizens of the town.
Zachariah Hoffman has already been referred to as an carly settler of the town, and the owner of a large troet extending from the Hasbrouck land to the Shawangunk Kill.
David MeKinstry came into the town over half a century agro, and located where Floyd S. Mckinstry now re -!! -. His children were Elsie A., Floyd S., Stephen. John V .. Laura, Abraham, Alfred, and William. Floyd S., J.J.5 V., and William are prominent and influential citizens .: the town at the present time.
Laurence Alsdorph was also an early settler of the town. and resided at New Hurley. His family was susall, and is not now represented in the town.

TOWN OF GARDINER.
The names of other old settlers of the town will be found mentioned elsewhere in this sketch of the town, and in the sketches of adjoining towns.
STORES.
Of these there have been quite a number in the town. Mention can only be made of a few of the most important. Selah Tuthill kept the first store of any importance at Tuthill. His store occupied the site of what is now known as the " old store," opposite the bridge. It was kept by his son, Daniel S. Tuthill, afterwards. Selah T. Jordan opened a store on the opposite side of the ereck in the year 1840, and a man named Mccullough kept one where the tavern now is. John J. Du Bois is the proprietor of the store at Tuthill in 1880. At Libertyville, Jacob S. Schoonmaker was in trade at quite an early day. Other tradesmen there have been John B. Du Bois, Isaac Sehoon- maker, and now George E. Johnson. At Jenkinstown, James Jenkins was early in trade, and Luther Le Fever was in trade there carly. At Rutsenville, Erastus Mack was in trade a quarter of a century ago. Charles E. Stevens was also in trade there later, and Charles Mack is in trade there now. Matthew Sammons was in trade on the bank of the " Mar Kill" at a very early period. The store at Gardiner Station was established about 1870 by a man named Rouseville. Mckinstry & Mceker are the present proprietors of the store.
TAVERNS.
One of the first public-houses at Tuthilltown was kept by Mr. Mccullough. Joseph O. Hasbrouck also had a store and tavern at a later day. At Ireland Corners, Dr. John Young had quite an early tavern, and at Libertyville, Jaeob J. Schoonmaker, Josiah M. Dalson, and Abraham B. Constable are the proprietors of the taverns in 1880, and Charles Clinton at Ireland Coruers. In the west end of the town William T. Schoonmaker once kept a tavern. At Gardiner Station the widow of Oscar Perrine keeps the Gardiner Hotel.
PHYSICIANS.
Dr. Daniel Deyo was one of the first physicians of the town, and resided at Libertyville, where John B. Du Bois now lives. Dr. Joseph Hasbrouck was in practice in the town as early as 1837 or 1838, and was one of the first to engage in practice at Tuthilltown. In 1847, Dr. Samuch J. Sears came from Rochester, and established himself in practice at Tuthill. Ile is still engaged in his profession, and is the only practicing physician of the town. Dr. Philip D. Hoornbeck located in practice about the same time as Dr. Sears, but remained but a few months. Dr. Stephen Gerow was in practice in the town for a short period. Dr. Coleman settled in practice in 1866, but re- mained less than a year. Dr. George Ketcham was also in practice for a short time, and Dr. Benton Bloom for a while at Gardiner Station. Dr. Abraham Deyo graduated as a physician nearly twenty years ago, and practiced for a time. He is still a leading aud influential citizen of the town.
LAWYERS.
The legal profession has not had a very large representa- tion in the town. John Lyon, who is now engaged in
practice at Ellenville, practiced his profession in the town as early as 1846. The other members of the profe -- ion in the town have been Sylvester K. Hasbrouck, Frank Hasbrouck, Lewis Hasbrouck, and Hector Sears. The last is still in business in the town, and the two next to the last at Shawangunk.
HIGHWAYS.
Probably the most aneient highway in the town is that from Kingston to Bloomingburg, and most generally known as the "old stage road." Another ancient road is that from Tuthill to Montgomery. The road from " L'nion- ville Corners" to Milton was laid out as a turnpike over eighty years ago. The Wallkill Valley Railroad passes through the eastern part of the town, having stations at Gardiner and Forest Glen.
IV .- MEN OF PROMINENCE.
While the town has produced many men who have achieved honorable prominence in the various departments of life, comparatively few of them have sought for or attained to publie official position. Those of the citizens of the town who have been members of the State Legislature are Jacob I. Schermerhorn, 1828 and 1831 ; Henry Hooru- beek, 1839; Abraham D. Bevier, 1844; and Danicl Schoon- maker, 1856. C. H. Le Fever and Ilector Sears have been the justices of the sessions from the town.
