The Galusha family is one of
GALUSHA the oldest in New England, although the precise date of their coming cannot be given. The family has been universally prominent in the state of Ver- mont where Jonas Galusha, the fifth governor of the state, had a remarkable career as sol- dier, judge and statesman.
(I) Early in the seventeenth century, Jacob Galusha (then about eight years old) was abducted from Wales by persons interested in an estate to which he was likely to become an heir. He was sent to New England, and eventually settled near Plymouth, Massachu- setts, where he married and reared two sons, Jacob and Daniel.
(II) Daniel, son of Jacob Galusha, married and had three sons, Jacob, Daniel and Jonas.
(III) Jacob (2), son of Daniel Galusha, was born January 8, 1751, died July 25, 1824, in Shaftsbury, Vermont. He was a farmer and blacksmith in good circumstances, of up- right character, sound judgment and much native shrewdness. In 1769 he removed to Salisbury, Connecticut, and thence in the spring of 1775 to Shaftsbury, Vermont. He married, (first) in Norwick, Connecticut, Sep- tember Io. 1745, Lydia Huntington, born April 25, 1728, died May 6, 1764, daughter of Matthew and Elizabeth (Heath) Huntington, of Preston, Connecticut, of the same family with Governor Samuel Huntington, of Massa- .chusetts. Matthew Huntington was engaged in the French war of 1756-60, for which he enlisted a company of sixty men, and started with them for the seat of war on Lake George. He over-exerted himself on the way, and sud- denly died. Matthew was a son of Matthew Huntington, of Norwich, Connecticut, grand- son of Deacon Christopher Huntington, of Norwick, "The first born of males in the town"; deacon of the Norwich Church for forty years; great-grandson of Christopher Huntington, one of the original proprietors of Norwich, Connecticut ; great-great-grandson of Simon and Margaret (Baret) Hunting- ton, of Norwich, England. Simon Hunting- ton died on the voyage to America in 1633. The church records of Roxbury, Massachu- setts, in the handwriting of Rev. John Elliot, have his record, "Margaret Huntington, wid- ow, came in 1633. Her husband died by way of the smallpox. She brought - children with her." (The blank is as found in the records.) The number of children is five, of whom Christopher (4) is the fourth. Chil- dren of Jacob and Lydia (Huntington) Galu- sha : I. Mary. 2. Captain David, was the rep- resentative of Shaftsbury, Vermont, 1779; captain in Colonel Seth Warner's regiment in

Abigail (Loom- is) Galusha was a woman of great strength and longevity. In her eightieth year she was baptized by immersion and joined the Baptist church in Shaftsbury, Vermont, and when ninety years old rode fifty miles in a wagon in one day with no serious inconvenience. Concerning the temper and disposition of his four wives, Mr. Galusha once said, in his pe- culiar shrewd way, "I have been twice in heav- en, once on earth and once in hell."
(IV) Amos, fourth son of Jacob (2) and Lydia (Huntington) Galusha, was born in Norwich, Connecticut. He moved with his father's family to Salisbury, Connecticut, and later to Shaftsbury, Vermont. He served in the revolution in the company commanded by
602

his brother, Captain Jonas Galusha, four days on an alarm in 1780; also on another alarm at Cambridge and Saratoga in 1781; also on an alarm at Castleton, Vermont, in October, 1781. During the administrations of Presidents Jef- ferson and Madison, he rendered them very efficient support by his contributions to the pe- riodical press. He married Mary, daughter of Jeremiah Clark, who was born in Preston, Connecticut, 1733, came to Bennington in 1767, served in the revolution and took part in the battle of Bennington; was afterwards a member of the council of safety in 1777-78; councillor in 1778-80; chief justice of Ben- nington county, 1778.

He continued in business in Troy until his death. He mar- ried Charlotte M. Howlett, born in Vermont, died in New York City in 1888. They had issue.
(VI) Henry, son of Elijah and Charlotte M. (Howlett) Galusha, was born in Troy, New York, August 24, 1833, died in the same city, September 14, 1909. He was educated in the private schools of Troy. He began and ended his business career of over half a cen- tury in the wholesale grocery business, begin- ning as a clerk with Battershall & McDoual, continuing with their successors, McDoual, Squires & Sherry. In 1860 Peter McDoual died, and he was admitted to the firm, whose sign, Squires, Sherry & Galusha, has stood unchanged for fifty years. Mr. Galusha was a most excellent man of business, and although of a quiet, retiring nature had a multitude of friends. He was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian church, of which he was for many years an elder. He had served in ear- lier years as chairman of the board of trustees and superintendent of the Sunday school. He was a member of the Masonic order, affiliated with Mount Zion Lodge; member of William Floyd Chapter, Sons of the Revolution; the Troy Club; senior member of the Citizens' Corps, and an exempt fireman, and honorary member of Arba Read Steamer Company. He married Elizabeth Osgood (see Os- good VIII). They lived in Troy for over

(The Osgood Line).
Mrs. Henry Galusha (Elizabeth Osgood) descends from the Osgood family of England and Andover, Massachusetts. The name Os- good was established in several counties of England when the Domesday Book was com- piled in 1066. The American family has been traced to Peter Osgood, of Nether Wallup, who was assessed in 1552, and whose will was proved in 1534. The earliest parish register of Wherwell, England, is dated 1634. On November 14, 1636, the baptism of Elizabeth, daughter of John and Sarah Osgood, is re- corded. Their names next appear on the list of passengers, dated April 14, 1638, of the ship "Confidence," which sailed from South- ampton for New England. John Osgood was admitted a freeman in Massachusetts, May 26, 1639. There were three Osgoods who founded families in Massachusetts, all settled first at Newbury, Massachusetts, Christopher, John and William. John and William came in the "Confidence," while Christopher preceded them. They were doubtless nearly related, while some genealogists claim they were brothers.
(I) John Osgood, born in the parish of Wherwell, Hampshire, England, July 23, 1595, died in Andover, Massachusetts, Octo- ber 24, 1651. He was for a time of Ipswich and Newbury, after coming to Massachusetts in 1638, but in 1645 settled in Andover, where he died. He was the first representative from Andover to sit in the general court. He was one of the first ten members, freeholders, as required by law to form and constitute the church at Andover. He married, in England, about 1627, Sarah -, who died April 8, 1667.
(II) John (2), eldest, son of John (1) and Sarah Osgood, was born in England about 1630, died in Andover, Massachusetts, August 31, 1693. He lived in Andover in the house his father had left him. He was sergeant, lieutenant and captain of militia, the latter in 1683. He was innholder and selectman sev- eral terms. He was very popular with the townspeople of Andover. He married at Ha- verhill, November 15, 1653, May, daughter of Rev. Robert Clements, who came from Lon- don in 1642. May (Clements) Osgood was one of the unfortunates suspected of witch- craft in the miserable delusion of 1692, was examined in Salem before John Hawthorne

and other "Majestie's Justices," September 8, 1692, confessed and was indicted in January, 1693, but recanted before Increase Mather. After four months' imprisonment she was re- leased. They had twelve children.
(III) Stephen, youngest son of John (2) and May (Clements) Osgood, was born in Ipswich, or Newbury, Massachusetts, 1683; died January 15, 1691. He was a farmer. He married, October 24, 1663, Mary Hooker.
(IV) Hooker, son of Stephen and Mary (Hooker) Osgood, was born in Andover, Massachusetts, August 24, 1668, died in Lan- caster, January 29, 1748. He was a saddler ; also selectman in Lancaster, Massachusetts. He married, April 26, 1692, Dorothy Wood.
(V) Captain David, son of Hooker and Dorothy (Wood) Osgood, was born October 8, 1698; was of Sterling, Massachusetts, where he owned a negro slave. He married, November 3, 1742, Eunice Carter.
(VI) Captain David (2), son of Captain David (I) and Eunice (Carter) Osgood, was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, April 21, 1734, died in Rutland, Vermont, October 9, 1812. He moved to Rutland, Vermont, at an early date in its settlement ; was a large land- owner and cattle dealer, and during the revol- utionary war the army of General Gates was supplied from his herds. He married (first), April 12, 1759, Sarah Baily; (second) Mar- tha (third), Widow Spencer ; (fourth), Widow Campbell, who survived him.
(VII) David (3), son of Captain David (2) Osgood, and his first or second wife (most likely the first), was born December 31, 1774, died 1820. He removed from Rutland, Ver- mont, to Cooperstown, New York, where he was engaged in the clothing business ; removed to Rensselaer county, New York, where he put in operation the first carting machine in New York state; afterwards removed to Eat- on, Madison county, New York, where he died in 1820.

VAN BUREN The original settler of the Van Buren family did not bear the name Van Buren.
It was not the custom when he came to Amer- ica, 1631, for Netherlanders to have a family name, except in rare cases. The Dutch of New Netherland, after the succession of the English in 1664, began to adopt family sur- names, generally taking the name of the place from which they or their parents emigrated in Holland, using the profix "Van," which is Dutch for of or from. Thus it was, no doubt, with the second generation of the Van Buren family in America, the father of whom was Cornelis Maessen, Maes or Maas, being the christian name of his father, the suffix "sen" or "se" signifying son. This was the custom then in vogue among the Dutch and some other European nationalities, and is not yet wholly done away with among the peasantry. To illustrate this custom: Marten, the eldest son of Cornelis Maessen, made his will in 1703, written in Dutch, in which his name is signed "Marten Cornelissen Van Buren," meaning Marten son of Cornelis from Buren. (Frank J. Conkling in New York Gen. and Biog. Record, vol. xxviii-p 121.)
(I) Cornelis Maessen, either emigrated from Buren, a village of the Province of Gel- derland, Holland, or was a native of that place. During the summer of 1631 he sailed for America in the ship "Rensselaerwyck," having with him his young wife, Catalyntje Martense, (daughter of a man named Mar- ten) and at least one son named Marten. A second son Hendrick is said to have been born on the voyage. They settled on a farm a little below Greenbush, at a place called Paps- knee, leasing a farm from the patroon, Killian Van Rensselaer, who had been granted large tracts comprising large portions of the present counties of Albany and Rensselaer, then called Rensselaerwyck. The rental paid in 1644 by Cornelis Maessen to Van Renssaelaer was one hundred bushels wheat, oats, rye, and a few peas. This was supposed to be one-tenth of his crop for that year. Little more is known of Cornelis. He and his wife died in 1648, and the records show they were buried the same day. He died intestate, and the children
604
HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
were placed under guardians. His estate con- sisted in part of property in New York City, where is now between Fourteenth and Chris- topher streets. Children mentioned in legal papers : Marten C., see forward, Hendrick, Maes, Styntje.
(II) Marten Cornelisse, "Black Marten" (son of Cornelis Maessen) deposed, 1660, that he was "born in Houten," a few miles from the village of Buren in the province of Utrecht. He was probably about two years of age when his parents came to America. In 1662 he sold his home, located "This side of Bethlehem" (about two miles below Albany). In 1665 he leased half of Constapel's Island below Albany. He and his wife were mem- bers of the Dutch Church in Albany in 1683. The census of 1697 credits his family with a membership of "two men, no women, one child." In December, 1683, he paid church dnes, for the rise of the "large pall," indicat- ing that at about that time he had buried an adult member of his family. In 1700 he was captain of a military company in the regiment commanded by Colonel Pieter Schuyler. He married (first) Maritje, daughter of Pieter Quackenbosch. It is more than likely that she was the adult member of the family buried in 1683, as on May 7, 1693, "Marten Cornellisse, widower of Maritje Quackenbosch" was mar- ried to "Tameke Adams, widow of Pieter Winne"; the latter wife must have died pre- vious to the taking of the census of 1697. His will made April 13, 1703, proved June 7, 1710, (in which latter year he died) mentions chil- dren : Cornelis Martense, Cornelia Martense, Pieter Martense, Maitje Martense, Marten Martense.
(III) Pieter Martense, son of Marten Cor- nelisse Van Buren, married, January 15, 1693, Ariaantje Barentse, daughter of Barent Mein- dersen and Eytje (Ida) his wife. Pieter M. and his wife were admitted to membership of the Dutch Church at Albany in 1695, as from Kinderhook, where they had settled about the time of their marriage. He was a freeholder in Kinderhook in 1720, and prob- ably died previous to 1743, which year four of his sons were mentioned as freeholders of Kinderhook. His children were baptized in the Dutch Church, Albany, and their order of birth can only be'ascertained there, as he left no will. The children were baptized in the order given: Cornelis, Barent, see for- ward, Marritje (Maria), Eytje (Ida), Mar- ten, Cornelis, Ephrahim and Maria. Marten, sixth child, married Duckie Van Allstyne, and had a son Abraham, who was father of Mar- tin Van Buren, eighth president of the United States.
(IV) Barent, son of Pieter Martense Van Buren, was born January 20, 1695. He mar- ried (first) December 29, 1719, -; (sec- ond) Margarita Van Vetchen, December 23, 1637; (third) about 1747, Catalyntje (Van Buren), widow of Jacob J. Schermerhorn. Children: Ariaantje, Marten, Cornelisse, Ma- ria, Marytje, Margarita, Hendrickje, Judikje, Elizabeth and William.
(V) William, son of Barent Van Buren, was born May 27, 1759, died February II, 1830. He married, August 23, 1785, Cather- ine, born September 17, 1767, daugh- ter of Cornelis and Elizabeth (Pruyn) Put- nam. Cornelis Putnam, commonly called "Boss Putnam," two days before his death made his will; in this he styles himself "of Charleston yeoman." To son Peter he gave the homestead; to Catherine he gave land in Mabees Patent; Cornelis was a son of Victor Putnam and grandson of Jan of Schenectady, born supposedly in Holland, 1645, founder of the principal Putnam family in America. He and his wife were killed by Indians at burning of Schenectady, February 8, 1690. Victor (Victoor) was living in 1733, and from an old letter it is known that he was called "Cap- tain Victor." He was a member of the Sec- ond Foot Company at Schenectady in 1715, the only Putnam on the list, which included every able-bodied man between sixteen and sixty. Children of William and Catherine (Putnam) Van Buren: Barent, Cornelius, see forward, Catherina, Elizabeth, Hendrick Tobias.
