(II) Sara Cuyler, third child of Ilendrick Cuyler and Annatje Schepmoes, resided in early life in New York City, later in Albany. She married, New York, November 2, 1688, Captain Pieter Van Brugh, born at New Am- sterdam, July 14, 1666, died at Albany, and buried in the Dutch Church there, July 20, 1740. He was son of Johannes Pieterse Van Brugh, born in Holland, 1624; left Harlem for America, settling first in New Amsterdam,


before 1657, for in that year he sent down the Hudson river from Beverwyck, three hun- dred beaver skins, and who married, at New Amsterdam, March 29, 1658, Catharina Roel- offse (widow of Lucas Rodenburgh), born before 1636, being daughter of Anneke Jans and her first husband, Roeloff Jansen. Jo- hannes P. Van Brugh died in 1607, having made a will December 22, 1696.


Captain Pieter Van Brugh was appointed sixth mayor of Albany by Lieut .- Gov. John Nanfan, officiated 1609-1700, and served a second term, from November 9, 1720, to 1723, by appointment of Gov. William Burnet. He and his wife had a house lot on the south side of State street, in Albany, west of Pearl, near the stockades, the same having been the resi- dence of his father-in-law, Hendrick Cuyler, the progenitor. His family name, Van Brugh, was also spelled Van Brug and Verbrugge, possibly derived from the fact that the family had residence in Bruges, Belgium, more likely than of the small town of Brugg, Switzerland, and yet the English equivalent of the Dutch word (which has been used ) was Bridge, sig- nifying a family from near a certain bridge.


Pieter Van Brugh and Sara Cuyler had issue: Catharina, born in New York, N. Y .: baptized there, November 10, 1689; died February 20, 1756; married, Albany, Sep- tember 19, 1707. Philip Livingston.

He was born in New York; baptized there, March 24, 1675 ; died in Sche- nectady, and buried in the Dutch Church there, December, 1739. After his youth spent in New York he moved to Albany, where he was made sheriff of Albany county, 1698-99, and later removed to Schenectady, where he was a trader and continued to reside until his death. His wife conducted his business some years longer. Delia Cuyler and Jo- hannes Groenendyk had issue, born in New York and baptized there: I. Mary. baptized September 16, 1696. 2. Sara, baptized April 28, 1700; died at Albany, June 5, 1774 ; mar- ried, Albany, December 9, 1720, James Ste- venson. 3. Pieter, baptized September 7, 1701. 4.

January 16, 1672, and was buried in the Dutch Church at Albany, October 21, 1755. President Pieter Schuyler, of the province of New York, appointed him thirteenth mayor of Albany, officiating from 1719 to No- vember 8, 1720; appointed for a second term by Gov. William Burnet, serving from 1723 to October 13. 1725. He was member of assembly, October 20, 1702-1710; 1713-1715: 1724: 1728-1737 ; church master, 1706: Indian commissioner, 1706-1720; captain of militia, 1710; alderman, first ward. 1718-1719 ; colonel before 1754: deacon of Dutch Church; bought land on the Norman's Kil, near Al- bany, and at Huntersfield (Schoharie, New York) Patent ; in 1703, occupying in Albany a lot on the south side of State street, the third east from South Pearl, formerly Gerrit Bancker's. His father was David Pieterse Schuyler, one of two brothers of the name who came from Amsterdam, Holland, to Bev- erwyck, purchasing land there in 1672 from the Van Rensselaers. He died, Albany, Feb- ruary 9. 1690, and had married, at New Am- sterdam, October 13. 1657, Catalyn Ver Planck, daughter of Abraham Isaacse Ver Planck and Maria Vigne.


Rachel Cuyler and Myndert Schuyler had issue: Anna, born at Albany, New York ; baptized there, February 28, 1697; buried in Dutch Church there, September 16, 1750: married, Albany. November 24, 1715, Mayor Johannes De Peyster.


(II) Maria Cuyler, sixth child of Hen- drick Cuyler and Annatje Schepinoes, was born in New York, N. Y., March 3, 1678 : baptized there, March 13; died September 14, 1724. She married, March 5, 1703, John Cruger. He was the progenitor of the entire Cruger family in America. He came to New Amsterdam prior to 1700; settled there; be- came alderman, 1712-1733; was mayor of New York beginning with the year 1739 until his death in 1744: died in New York City, August 13, 1744, and was buried in the old Dutch Church.


During early history, and at different pe- riods, the ancestral members of the Cruger family settled in Germany, Holland. Den- mark and England. At the time of the Dan- ish invasion of England, or possibly after the conquest of England, about 1016, it is prob- able that some of the members of this family went to England, as Sir Philip De Cruciger ( from whom the English branch traces de- scent ) subsequently accompanied King Rich- ard on the Crusades. Other members of the family remaining in or returning to Germany, and they, as also those emigrating from there, trace their descent from the baronial house


of Van Cruger. One of the translators of the Bible, with Luther, was named Cruciger (Cruger). At Bristol, England, within the old Cathedral walls and in the adjoining church yard, are many ancient monuments and slabs to the memory of members of the Cruger family, some of whom came from the continent in the reign of Henry VIII.


Regarding the name of Cruger, in the transmutations which this family name has undergone, the origin is found to be Cruci- ger, derived from the Latin Crux-Gero, to carry the cross, or cross-bearer. The Cruger Arms : Shield : Argent, a bend azure charged with three martlets or, between two greyhounds courant, proper. Crest : A demi- greyhound statant, gorged or. Motto: Deo non fortuna: beneath the crest. Fides.

He was the son of Petrus Van Driessen ; matriculated at Groningen University, No- vember 2, 1705, giving his residence then as Coevordiensis, and came to Albany, April, 1712. He was made seventh minister of the "Nether Dutch Reformed Congregation of the City and County of Albany." succeeding Dominie Johannes Lydius. He was the one


1725

who was energetic in erecting a new church edifice at the intersection of Broadway and State street, which was built of stone about the dilapidated one which had been con- structed of wood in 1656, and no picture of any other subject in entire Albany is now re- garded as more typical of the old Dutch days. He drew up a petition June 8. 1714, signed by himself, the elders and deacons, requesting the approval of Robert Hunter, captain-gen- eral and governor of the provinces of New York and New Jersey, for proceeding there- with, which was granted, and the building was first occupied October 30, 1715, conse- crated November 13. He also had the church incorporated by petition of August 3: ap- proved August 10, 1720, and this building endured until rebuilt on the south side of Beaver street, in 1806, from the same ma- terial, in order to facilitate traffic on State street, where it had stood in the middle of the principal thoroughfare. He also supplied Kinderhook, 1712-27 ; Linlithgow, 1722-37, and occasionally Schenectady, as well as being missionary to the neighboring Indians.


Dominie Van Driessen made a will, Albany. January 20. 1737-38, in which he bequeathed all his estate, real and personal, to his wife. Eva Cuyler, for use during lifetime, with power to sell and dispose of the same. She did sell, in conjunction with two of her chil- dren. Hendrick and Annatje, on July 21. 1748. and Philip Lansing bought it for a nominal sum, reconveying it to her in fee. Some time later her son, Petrus, conveyed his own interest to his brother. Hendrick, as he moved to Schenectady. Dominie Van Dries- sen died at Albany, January, 1738, and was buried in the Dutch church there. February 3. 1738.

(V) Johannes Cornelis Cuyler, third child of Cornelis Johannes Cuyler and Annatje Wendell, was born at Schenectady, New York, December 5, 1766, and died there October 25, 1828. In later years he was known by the Anglicized form of his name, or John C. Cuyler. He was an incorporator of the pro- posed Clinton College in 1779. at Schenec- tady, which inaugurated the establishment of Union University.


He married, at Albany, Hannah Maley, born at Albany, October 12, 1769, daughter of John Maley, one of Albany's richest men, and Catherine Tremper, whose Huguenot family name on coming from France was Trompour, and they resided at Kingston, New York.

The last named child was born in Fort Johns- ton, Johnstown, New York, the others in Al- bany.


(VI) Col. William Tremper Cuyler, fifth child of Johannes Cornelis Cuyler and Han- nah Maley, was born at Albany, New York, December 22. 1802, and died at "Woodlands," Cuylerville, Livingston county, New York, December 21. 1864. He was buried in the Cuyler lot of Mount Hope cemetery at Roch- ester, New York, and his grave indicated by a granite monolith.


He received his education as one of the


first students attending the Albany Academy, and resided in that city until about the time. of his majority. The Erie canal was then nearing completion, and he was imbued with. the idea that it was to open up the rich grain and grazing sections of the western part of the state, for up to that time very little of the population had settled to much of any extent farther westward than Schenectady, except- ing in isolated cases, and such cities as Roch- ester, Buffalo and Detroit were hardly more than embryotic villages when he was a youth. Rochester was his choice, and he bought the- "Crystal Building." on East Main street, es- tablishing a large carriage manufactory, while his residence was on North St. Paul street. It was here that he married Char- lotte Hanford, about 1823, probably on at- taining his twenty-first year, and she a girl of seventeen years. He became a member of the Presbyterian church of Rochester, and this change of his religious views from the Dutch Reformed church of his ancestors for two centuries was probably due to the fact that his second wife, Nancy Bancker Stewart, came of a Scotch family : but the other mem- bers of his family turned instead to the Epis- copalian faith. He received his title as colonel of the New York state militia.


About the year 1830, Colonel Cuyler de- cided to dispose of his property in Rochester so as to participate in the development of the country near Geneseo, New York. He turned his business over to his brother-in-law, George Hanford, who formed a partnership with Thomas Askin, both of whom had been his apprentices, and in 1843 they removed their manufactory to Cuylerville. The Genesee Valley canal was being dug at the time Colo- nel Cuyler decided on exchanging his Roches- ter property for a large tract of most admir- able farming land in that beautiful valley. Ife seized the opportunity to lay out the town, some four miles southwest of Geneseo, which grew into a thriving village and was given his name-Cuylerville. His own property, on which he resided. he named "Woodlands," because at the rear of his handsome home was a dense forest of pines. The house. stood at the top of a long and gradual in- cline leading to a wooded plateau ; but before it lay the valley unobstructed to the view. Any number of letters of that time which were written by visitors to his home to friends at other places never failed to style it "a pal- ace," and undoubtedly it was then one of the. finest specimens of colonial style of architec- ture in the state, if people still living are to. be believed. It was of wood, painted white; and cream; had the ornamental, tall columns,.

and an elaborate portico. We are told by those who have been there, that the view from his piazza across the valley was entrancing, for the landscape comprised miles of the rich- est verdure in the state, and much of it was owned by him. It was his pleasure, as was common with the Wadsworths and other wealthy neighbors with landed estates, to breed fine horses, as well as superior strains of sheep and cattle.


The property named "Woodlands," which Colonel Cuyler owned, had been bought in 1810 by Hon. Samuel Miles Hopkins, jointly with B. W. Rogers. "which tract of land had been reserved by the Indians as, above all others, choice and delightful," as is recorded in the autobiography of Mr. Hopkins, a law- yer of standing, who lived in New York and Albany, before going West. Mr. Hopkins further said of the locality: "If the habitable globe contains any places more entirely ex- cellent and desirable than these two adjoin- ing tracts (Mount Morris and Leicester, in Livingston county, N. Y.) I know it not." Regarding the time when the house was built, he says: "In 1811, I removed to Geneseo, the village of my old and excellent friends, James and William Wadsworth. From here I superintended my farm with unsparing dili- gence and care, until I could have a house prepared. In 1812, the war. In 1813-14, I was a member of the thirteenth congress, an election which was contrary to my expecta- tion and wishes, and to the duties of which my farm and building forbade my giving much attention. * *


* So I staid in Washing- ton as little as I could. *


* In these same years I built my house. In August. 1814. I laid out the village of Moscow on a plain which far and wide was covered with a young growth of oak and hickory, so thick as to be almost impervious, and such as pre- vented me from getting any just knowledge of the extent and shape of the plain, except bv actual mathematical survey. * * From the Genesee river my operations ex- tended back to the pine woods, near three miles." Moscow is about one mile distant from Cuylerville. and the dense pine forest back of "Woodlands" had never been entered up to this time by any other man than the wild Indian.


The estate of Mr. Hopkins was valued in 1817 definitely at $75.000, but in 1822. be- cause of hard times throughout the country, it had so depreciated that he "was glad to accept a check of $25,000 for the whole," and "in the spring of 1822, I sold off, paid off, broke up, and traced my course back to Al- bany," where he resumed his practice of the


law. Colonel William T. Cuyler obtained the property by a deed of conveyance from Camp- bell H. Young, of Geneseo, and on his death it remained in control of his third wife, Anna De Peyster Douw (Cuyler) until it passed into the hands of Colonel Cuyler's son, George M. Cuyler, on the probate of her will at Al- bany, November 9, 1871, together with "all my horses, cattle, livestock and implements of husbandry upon the aforesaid property."


The home of Colonel Cuyler was constantly the scene of guests and of much entertaining. He was somewhat handsome in appearance, stately in bearing, standing erect, blue eyes and auburn-brown hair. About the home- stead were a great many flower-beds, which. were attended by the women of his family. The house was furnished with the beautiful furniture of the day when the carving of solid mahogany pieces was at its height in art treat- ment. There were many family portraits upon the wall, and the silver was of the quaint pattern of the Colonial period, which had been handed down for generations. Disaster over- took much of this valuable household prop- erty, for a fire broke out at noon on Febru- ary 22, 1857, caused by a detective flue in Mrs. Cuyler's room, and the residence was burned to the ground quickly. One of the mose serious losses was that of the old family Bible, with its entries in the Dutch language. The sideboard, which was saved, was offered for sale in 1910 for $500. Colonel Cuyler did not rebuild: but removed his family to Rochester, where he resided on South Wash- ington street ; but his only living son, George, remained at "Woodlands" for twenty years thereafter, occupying one of the other houses on the estate. Colonel Cuyler died there, while on a visit to his son. He was stricken with apoplexy while inspecting the stock ; was carried into the house by his son, and died within a few hours, although the previous night he had been in unusually good spirits and enjoying apparently excellent health.


Colonel William T. Cuyler married (first) Charlotte Hanford. in 1823, or January, 1824, as their first child was born in November, 1824. She died at "Woodlands," Cuylerville. April 12, 1831, "in her 26th year," and, when twenty-five years old, had borne four chil- dren. She was born, accordingly, in 1805 or 1806, and is buried in Mount Hope cemetery at Rochester, with all her children and her husband. Colonel Cuyler married (second). at the Clute homestead, between Moscow and Squawkie Ilill. in 1837, Nancy Bancker Stew- art, born at Icicester, New York, March, 1810, died at "Woodlands." Cuylerville, Feb- ruary 3, 1848, buried in Mount Hope ceme-
