the main road from the village of N. U. to FIh, which he conveyed to his s. Cornelis Gerretse. His name appears on the patent of N. U. of 1686, and in 1687 he took the oath of allegiance in said town, of which place he was a mag. in 1687 and '88, and justice of the peace in 1689 and '90.

VAN GIESEN, REYNIER BASTIAENSEN, probably from Gies- sen, a village in North Braband, m. Dirckje Cornelis, and entered into an agreement June 6, 1660, with the magistrates of Flh and the consistory of the R. D. ch. of said place to teach school, perform the duties of court messenger, to ring the bell, keep the church in order, perform the duties of precentor, attend to the burial of the dead, and all that was necessary and proper in the premises, for an annual salary of 200 florens exclusive of perquisites. This agreement was signed by Adriaen Hegeman, Willem Jacobse Van Boerum, Elbert Elbertsen, Jan Snediker, Jan Strycker, and Pieter Cornelise, probably as mag. of Flh and Flds, and by Johannes Theodorus Polhemius, Jan Snediker, Jan Strycker, and Willem Jacobse Van Boerum, as the consistory of the church, on the one part, and by Reinier Van Giesen (omitting the " Bastiaensen" which is inserted in the body of the instru- ment), of the other part, for which see p. 24 of Lib. B of Flh rec. Strong on p. 109 of his History of Fll places Adriaen Hegeman as the first schoolmaster of the town, and as serv- ing from 1659 to '71, omitting Van Giesen from his list. The above agreement shows this to be an error; and that Van Giesen was probably the first schoolmaster. Jan. 6, 1663, he sold to Jan Strycker a house and lot in Flh, styling him- self in the deed "court attendant," as per p. 117 of Lib. B of Fll rec. He probably finally removed to Bergen, N. J., for on p. 66 of Winfield's Land Titles of Hudson Co. is found a Rynier Michealse prior to 1713, and who was prob- ably a s. of the schoolmaster. Issue :- Jacob, bp. Jan. 16, 1670; and Gysbertje, bp. Apl. 30, 1673 - both in N. Y. There was also a Rynier Van Giese, who m. Ist Dirckje Van Greenland, m. 2ª, Sept. 1699, at Hackensack, Hendrickje Buys wid. of Cornelis Verwey, as per Hackensack D. ch. rec .; and an Isaac, Abraham, and Bastiaen Van Giesen, of Acquackannonck in 1700, in which localities their descend- ants are to be found. Signed his name "Reynier Van Giesen."
