The Thorne family of Granville now rep- resented in Granville, Washington county, New York, by the children of Leonard C. and Hannah (Rogers) Thorne, descend from Eng- lish ancestors who settled at Flatbush, Long Island, New York, at an early date.


(1) William Thorne was made a freeman of Lynn, Massachusetts, May 2, 1638; of Flushing, Long Island, 1645, with seventeen other patentees, under Governor Kieft; had a plantation at Gravesend, Long Island, 1657. William Thorne, Sr., and William Thorne, Jr., were Quakers, and pioneers of the famous and beautiful town of Flushing. There is an- other tradition that a William Thorne came from England and settled at Willett's Point, a valuable tract, then called Thorne's Point. This William and the William of Flushing mitist have been the same, as time and place both testify. The lands occupied by the an- cestor William continued in the family until near the close of the eighteenth century. Wil- liam Thorne married Sarah -, and had issue.


(II) William (2) son of William ( I) and Sarah Thorne, married Winifred, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Ellison) Livingston. William signed the remonstrance of the peo-


ple of Flushing against illegal treatment of the Quakers by the Dutch (original on file at Albany). He became a resident of Great Neck, town of Hempstead, where he died about 1688, and was buried on his farm. Children: 1. Richard, married Phebe Denton, 1699. 2. Margaret, married Rev. Thomas Rattoon. 3. Elizabeth, married Richbill Mott, 1696. 4. Sarah, married Roger Pedley, 1698. 5. John, married Mary Parsell, 1664. 6. Jo- seph, married Mary Brown. 7. Samuel, mar- ried Susannah -. 8. Susannah, married


John Kissam.


Thomas Thorne, who was one of the Whig committee of Flushing, was seized by the British on their first visit there, and ended his days in "the Prison Ship."


(V) James, great-grandson of William Thorne (2), was a carpenter and builder of Glen Cove, Long Island. He died in the fall of 1824, aged seventy years. He built the homestead at Glen Cove on his own land, which several generations of his descendants occupied. In proof of his revolutionary ser- vice the following is given :

and is signed by Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen Thorne, 4th Regiment, Second Brigade. The roll of the militia company commanded by Captain Duty Shumway bears the name of James Thorne.

(VI) Samuel C., son of James and Mary ( Cocks) Thorne, was born January 27, 1798. He requested membership in the Religious Society of Friends, and became a recommend- ed and highly esteemed minister of that faith. He married, October 25, 1818, in Brookville, Long Island, at the house of Rev. Marma- duke Earl (who performed the ceremony) Maria, daughter of Elbert and Willempje (Duryea) Hoogland. Maria Hoogland was a descendant of Dirck Jansen Hoogland, who came to New Netherlands in 1657 from Maer- seveen. in the province of Utrecht, and mar- ried, October 8, 1662, Annetje Hansen Ber- gren. She died at the homestead in Locust Valley, May 3. 1879, aged about seventy-seven years. Her gentle ways and unassuming man- ners caused her to be greatly beloved. Sam- ttel C.

(VII) Leonard C., son of Samuel C. and Maria (Hoogland) Thorne, was born at Glen Cove, Queens county, New York, December 9. 1833. He was well educated in the public schools. At the age of seventeen he entered the village store as clerk, remaining there five years. In 1855 he became bookkeeper for the firm of which his brother William was a member. He rapidly acquired expert


business experience which, coupled with un- usual ability, rendered him particularly valu- able to his firm. February 1, 1859, he be- came a partner under the firm name of Wil- liam H. & L. C. Thorne. In 1871 he became editor of a religious paper, The Herald of Life, published by the Life and Advent Union, with which he had been connected for several years. Finding the duties of the paper too arduous with those of his business, he retired from the latter in 1873, and confined himself solely to the management of his paper until August, 1877, when he resigned. In 1863 he assisted in the organizing of the Ninth Na- tional Bank of New York City, and was chosen director of the same. He hield this position for two years, but the management not being congenial he severed his connection and associated himself with the Security Na- tional bank, of which he was chosen a director. He resided in Brooklyn, New York, and Or- ange and Bloomfield, New Jersey, at each place gathering about him warm friends from among the best citizens. His health contin- uing poor, he spent several winters in the South, and early in 1873 journeyed to Colo- rado, hoping there to gain strength. He re- turned in October of the same year and pur- chased a residence in Granville, Washington county, New York, which was his home until death, March 3. 1878. During his years of residence in Granville he labored not only for the material but the moral interests of the village. laboring for all that was right and manly, and assisting in the promotion of all movements tending toward the betterment of the community. No man did more to im- prove the moral standing of the town. He assisted in organizing the First National bank of the village, serving as director until his death. In association with other gentlemen, the Reform Club was organized. He was a strong advocate of temperance, and a Repub- lican in politics. He was nominated by the Prohibitionists for the legislature, but fearing that his candidacy might imperil the success of the Republican ticket. he declined the honor. His funeral was held at the Friends' meeting house, and at no time in the history of the village have such honors been paid or such respect shown to the memory of any one. Every store, shop and office was closed; the officials of the bank, the officers and members of the Reform Club, numbering between four and five hundred. attended in a body. Such numbers assembled at the meeting house that overflow memorial services were held in the school house and basement of the meeting house in connection with the regular services in the audience room. Resolutions of respect

were passed by the board of directors of the bank, the Reform Club, and other organiza- tions with which he was connected, the banks and Reform Club buildings being both draped in mourning.


He married. April 11, 1861, Hannah Eliza, tenth child of David and Hannah (Dilling- ham) Rogers (see Rogers VIII).


VAN ANTWERP The family name of Van Antwerp has the significance, through the Dutch, that the family to which this cog- nomen was applied resided near the wharf, or the place of wharfing, casting anchor, or tying up the ships, and in this sense also it could signify that before they took up resi- dence in Holland or emigrated to America, they came from the great seaport of Bel- gium, Antwerp, the capital of the province of the same name.


The Van Antwerp Arms, as used in Hol- land : Shield : D'argent à trois crémaillères de sable, rangees en fasce ; as used in Flanders : Shield : D'or à une fleur-de-lis d'azur ; au chef d'herm., charged de trois pals de gules, celui du milieu surcharged d'une ancre d'argent. Motto: In puritate mentis.


(I) Daniel Janse Van Antwerp was the progenitor of the family of this name in Amer- ica. He was the son of Jan (John) Van Antwerpen, of Holland, and was born in 1635. He came to Beverwyck (Albany, N. Y.) be- tween 1656 and 1661, for his name appears upon the records as being there in 1661, when he agreed to serve Adriaan Appel for one year for a recompense of thirty-five beavers (equal to about $112) and found. He was indus- trious, and before long was making his own way, the owner of his own bouwerie and possessed of those things which go to make a farm of good proportions. Shortly after the settling of Schenectady, whither he removed so that he was freer to own land himself than he was allowed while within the imme- diate jurisdiction of Patroon Van Rensse- laer, he became possessed of the "Third Flat" on the south side of the Mohawk river, about eight miles above that city, and in 1706 he sold the western half of his bouwerie (63 a. 79 rods) to his neighbor, Jan Pieterse Me- bie. Ilis village lot, within the stockade or wall, was on the east side of Church street, next north of the present church lot, and was 108 feet wide in front and 206 fect deep, wood measure. In 1676, when forty-one years old, he was one of the five magistrates. In 1701 he was made supervisor of the town.


Daniel Janse Van Antwerp married Maritje (Maria) Groot, daughter of Symon Symonse


Groot and Rebecca De Trieux. Her father (S. S. Groot) came early to New Nether- land in the service of the West India Com- pany, as boatswain of the ship "Prince Mau- rice" : he bought a house and lot of Jacob Roy in New Amsterdam in 1645, and soon there- after located at Beverwyck, for it is known he offered his house for sale there in 1654. He moved again, for in 1663 he hired a bou- werie of from twenty-five to thirty morgens of Gerrit Bancker and Harmen Vedderen, at Schenectady, on the north side of Union street and one hundred Amsterdam feet west of Church street. Maritje Groot's mother, Re- becca Du Trieux (De Truax), was the daugh- ter of Philip Du Trieux, court messenger of New Amsterdam. Children : 1. Jan, married, November 24, 1700, Agnieta, daughter of Har- men Albertse Vedder. 2. Simon Danielse, mar- married. December 22, 1706. Maria, daughter of Jacobus Peek, see forward. 3. Arent, mar- ried Sara, daughter of Johannes Van Eps. 4. Daniel, married Ariaantje, daughter of Ger- rit Simonse Veeder. 5. Pieter, married En- geltie, daughter of Johannes Mebie. 6. Neel- tje, baptized July 27, 1690 ; married Andries De Graaf. 7. Rebecca, baptized December 25, 1692 ; married Johannes Fort. 8. Maria, bap- tized January 3, 1695 ; married Nicolaas Fort.


(II) Simon Danielse, son of Daniel Janse and Maria (Groot) Van Antwerp, was a landowner and a miller. He bought land and settled in Schaghticoke. New York, in 1710. There is an early record which bears date of October 13, 1718, and which reads: "The commonalty (of Albany) have granted unto Simon Danielse, his heirs and assigns forever, a certain small creek on the south side of his land, to build a grist mill thereon, provided he grinds no wheat for boulting except ye same be boulted within the city of Albany. for which he is to pay yearly, after January, 1724, six skeple wheat yearly." . This is an evidence with what far-reaching methods the old bur- ghers of Rensselaerwyck and Beverwyck watched their interests, and besides, it is a fact that the early Van Antwerp settlers sought Schenectady as a place in which to live and prosecute a business unhampered by rea- son of the imposition of the regulations laid down by the Rensselaerwyck colony. He married, at Albany, December 22, 1706. Maria Peek, daughter of Jacobus Peek, whose fath- er was Jan Peek, innkeeper of New Amster- dam, after whom the creek and town of Peeks- kill take their name, and who in 1655 sold two houses in. Fort Orange to Johannes Dyck- man for 1,627 guilders. Children: 1. Maria, born November 9, 1707. 2. Lysbeth, born at Albany, January 15, 1710. 3. Rebecca, born

He attended a private school until the death of his father necessitated his with-


drawal when he was eleven years of age. He then found employment with the firm of Lasdell & Fassett in a minor capacity, and next was associated with John Schuyler in the grocery trade. When the latter died, he formed a partnership with Henry D. Haw- kins, opening a wholesale provision business in 1852, under the name of Hawkins & Van Antwerp. This continued until 1866, when Mr. Hawkins withdrew, and the house of Van Antwerp & Bridge was established. Later it became known as Van Antwerp, Bridge & Company, until the time Mr. Van Antwerp retired from active business life, in 1873. He was always a staunch Republican in his poli- tics, active therein because whatever he under- took was of concern to him, participating alike in its active strife and its actual labors, and at one time served as alderman-at-large. He was nominated for member of assembly in 1876, but failed of election, the county as well as the city being then strongly Demo- cratic. He was a devout member of the Bap- tist denomination, and gave freely of his time and money to advance the cause of his church. He and his family attended Calvary Baptist Church. He was an original member of the committee of thirteen, organized to correct abuses in city government : a director of the New York State National Bank; a trustee of the Albany Savings Bank ; an original direc- tor of the Commerce Insurance Company of Albany, and a member of the Holland Soci- ety.
