fall and succeeding winter. About the 18th of October, the welcome intelligence was received of the surrender to General Gates at Saratoga. The Jersey militia, of which the Horse Troop was a part, behaved most gallantly at Monmouth under General Philemon Dickenson in June 1778. After the burning of the church of Raritan (October 18, 1778) and the Court House at Millstone (October 27, 1779) the tide of war drifted away almost entirely from Somerset County.
Yet a boy, when his enlistment expired, a longing for home caused Striker in the summer of 1780 to set out towards that goal. On reaching the ancestral habita- tion of his captain at Millstone he was fitted out as a yeoman and in this disguise proceeded on his way. At Tilly Tudlum, just north of Fort Lee, he succeeded in getting a boat wherewith he reached the shores of his mother's property "in the enemy's country." Soon after arrival he took out a license from the Secretary of the Province on September 23d, to marry Mary, daughter of Johannes and Wyntje (Dyckman) Hopper and niece of Andrew Hopper, with whom he served as elder of the Church. She lived only six years, dying at the age of twenty-six, on September 20, 1786. It was during her occupancy of the Bay that the British aggressions occurred. Her remains were deposited in the Hopper plot. Three children resulted from this union :
Ann, born, Feb. 23; bap. June 25, 1781; d. unmarried April 12, 1860.

Her mother (in English, Jemima) was the only sister of Andrew and John Hopper the younger. As a result of this mar- riage, eight children were born, all in the mansion, as were those of the first wife, viz .:

Their father led the life of a country gentleman, farmed sufficiently to meet the family wants, held slaves as was the custom of the period and twice ac- cepted office, being Assessor of the Bowery Division of the Outward, beginning in 1796 and Assistant Alder- man, in 1803, during the Mayoralty of DeWitt Clinton, to represent his home Ward, then the Ninth. He was appointed July 25, 1803 to list those residing in the North Ward qualified to act as jurors in the courts of record. His petition, dated June 25, 1804, for a grant of the riparian rights in front of his property was acceded to on July 2d, and it was the dock he con- structed thereon which enabled the delegations, excur- sions, target companies, etc., to land at the mansion when it became a tavern. He was a founder of the Church and was elected a member of the original Consistory at its organization in September 1805, and remained in office for twenty-five years until incapaci- tated by illness. This body met at his residence very often during this long period. The first call to the pastorate, that to the Rev. David Schuyler Bogert

was decided on there. On August 12, 1816, this reso- lution, according to the minutes of the Consistory, was passed: "that Mr. Striker's request be granted, viz .: that he hold the pew that he purchased as a leased pew but that this privilege be not given to another person." It was moved and carried unanimously, on December 9th of the same year, at a meeting held at his house, "that Mr. Striker be presented with the ground which he occupies for a vault, as a small expres- sion of the gratitude and respect of the Consistory." He had theretofore mentioned his desire to purchase a plot therefor (November 13, 1815) and had built a burial place on the spot selected. It was in the rear of the second church to be constructed, was above the ground in the shape of a house, and was the second earliest in date of any of the number of vaults added in the process of time. His remains were placed therein as were those of the following members of his family:
Albert Russel, son of Joseph and Maria (Striker) Cornell.
James Thomas, another child of the same and an infant of the same parents.
Gabriel Furman Striker.

The First Consistory
He served as first clerk of the Consistory and began to represent it at Classis July 5, 1809, his uncle Andrew Hopper having been the premier delegate to that assem- bly. His final service in this position was rendered in October, 1826, and he was re-elected elder for the last time October 7, 1828. He suffered from a throat affection which incapacitated him for some two years prior to his decease. This occurred December 6, 1831. He left him surviving his widow, eight children, and three grandchildren. The will, dated February 12, 1823, bequeathed to the widow all interest in his estate for life with reversion to her children, "my other children by my first wife having been fully provided for under the will of their grandfather John Hopper, deceased." His estate was valued at $400.000 by the compiler of the pamphlet published by the New York Sun entitled Wealth and Pedigree of the Wealthy Citi- zens of New York. The third edition thereof was is- sued in 1842, and a tenth publication in 1846. Therein space was found for the following comment :
Mr. Striker died in the year 1831 at an advanced age. His is one of the oldest Knickerbocker families of our city. His estate has been handed down in regular succession from the year 1640 [sic] when his family emigrated to this country from Holland. Mr. Striker has held several civil offices of responsibility,-he was also proprietor of the splendid estate known as Striker's Bay, now leased by his widow, in whose possession the estate now is, as a public house. Mr. James Striker was the father of General Striker, a gentleman well known in this city as one of wealth and standing who also has held many exalted stations in our city and State.
Action was begun in the Supreme Court in 1855 to partition the estate, and order was entered April 25,

1856, adjudicating the interests of the parties and directing sale, which took place June IIth, at the Merchants' Exchange. Mrs. Striker had removed shortly after her husband's decease to Tribes Hill, N. Y., accompanied by her children. She died at Am- sterdam, N. Y., October 6, 1860. The house of John H. Striker was burned down later, when important treasures were lost in the shape of old relics, among which were the Dutch Bible and family portraits, including one of James Striker.
Jacob barsen
The Harsen family in America, which name, by the way, is extinct in Jacob Harsen's branch, descends from Bernardús Hassens or Haszingh, who came from Breúckelen (which lent its name to Brooklyn) in the province of Uijtrecht, in Holland, and married in New York, July 7, 1669, Aeltje, a young woman of the same place, whose father was Jacob Wolfertse (van Kouwenhoven) and who emigrated with his father Wolfert Gerretse, the common ancestor, in 1630, from Amersfoort, in the same province in Hol- land. They removed to Flatbush on Long Island where they became members of the church which Jan Strijcker had founded, and where they are entered in 1677 on its records. They united with the Dutch Church at the capital, February 28, 1683 and in 1686 lived Langs de Wal (in Wall Street). His sister Ger- trúijdt married Wolfert Webber, the ancestor of Philip Webbers, another officer of the Church at Harsenville. Bernardús the pioneer had issue:

This Johannes (John) became an executor of the will of Nicholas Dyckman in 1758. In this capacity he conveyed to his brother Jacob, a certain portion of the Dyckman farm in 1763. Said Jacob accordingly became the owner of lands in this section and was the individual from whom Harsenville took its name.

Harsen, was accustomed to put the children to sleep together. This cradle of solid mahogany with heavy brass handles and steady, easy-going rockers, became an heirloom. At stated times, and with ceremonious care, it was polished to the last possible pitch of bright- ness, and, as was the custom in all well-ordered Dutch households, was kept in a place of honor. Catherine was born Oct. 8, 1749 and d. May 8, 1835. Her hus- band was appointed Ensign, ranking from Feb. 28, 1789, Lieutenant in Col. James Miles Hughes's Regi- ment in 1790, and Captain in the same command April 12, 1792 "in the sixteenth year of our Inde- pendence," which office he resigned in 1795. Issue: Rachel, b.

The benefactor of the Church was born, as hereto- fore noticed, March 5, 1750. He was a man of influence, of strong will, and decided character. His future father-in-law, Garret Cozine, became executor by the terms of the will of Nicholas Dyckman who had pur- chased the homestead in which his father Cornelius had lived and died in 1722, from the widow and his brothers Cornelius and George, the co-heirs, for £225 on May 14, 1736. These executors were empowered

to sell all the estate at public vendue or private sale, and through them the title to the southerly forty- seven acres of the farm became vested in said Cozine in 1763. At his death ten years later, this portion was divided into thirds. When, however, two of the beneficiaries, Cornelius and Hannah, died, their sister Catherine fell heir to the whole estate and this with the eastern part of the northern half of the Dyck- man tract formed the well known Harsen farm. She intermarried with Jacob Harsen in 1773. It is not to be doubted that the ceremony was performed in the homestead where the bride lived with the above named brother and sisters and where the newly wedded pair continued to reside. Broad were the acres sur- rounding their home from the rear piazza of which the river view, terminating in the heights beyond, dazzled the beholder. Oh, those days of yore! How they do return in memory to disparage the present! Harsen lived a serene life of comfort and content and although four of his five children died in early life the surviving son, Cornelius, a Colonel in the War of 1812 (Vide, p. 64), proved an honor to the name. In 1794, Jacob Harsen became one of the Board of Deacons of the Collegiate Church and as such, an officer of the School founded in 1633, the oldest edu- cational institution in continuous existence in New York. He served as Alderman of the Ninth-his home-Ward in 1803, at a time when it was somewhat more of an honor than later and "when honest prin- ciples were a recommendation for office."
In the mansion the Church at Harsenville was organized. A founder thereof, Harsen was elected deacon at its organization in September, 1805. He erected the first edifice of the church on land just
I3I

south of his residence, and with the site conveyed it to the congregation, at that time in embryo. His bene- factions are detailed in the next chapter. When Hopper resigned as treasurer, Harsen was appointed (October 2, 1809) in his stead, which position he filled but a year because of ill health. He became an Elder (Aug. II, 1814) when it was resolved to increase the number by one, and represented the Consistory in Classis for the first time on Oct. 18. After 1817 he appeared before that body in this capacity with singu- lar regularity for the following decade. The Board assembled at his house-the last session there-May 12, 1835, at which time the call was indited to the Rev. Enoch van Aken, one which fixed that pastor's tenure for half a century to come. On August 11th, the minutes state that John Parks was elected Elder "in place of Jacob Harsen who had died since our last meeting." He passed from his sphere of usefulness July 24, 1835, somewhat over two months after his wife had departed this life. He had built the first vault in the churchyard of the second House of Wor- ship, space for which having been granted him by resolution passed June 21, 1814, "in consideration of what Mr. Harsen has done and is still doing for the Church .. . without any expense for the ground," and therein his remains were deposited. Mrs. Great- Orex asserts that
the family vault having been found unsuitable for burial purposes owing to the dampness of the soil was abandoned and Dr. Harsen, the grandson of its builder, purchased ground in Trinity Cemetery at 155th Street, Carmans- ville. The remains of three generations of his ancestors were removed under his own supervision. The monument which stood in the rear of the Church surrounded by an
I32

iron railing was re-erected in Trinity and is to be seen there to-day.
The Harsen remains now lie in vaults Nos. 886 and 915, Westerly Division, of that cemetery. The Chief Clerk of Trinity Corporation, writing under date of March 26, 1907, says,
we have caused a long and careful search to be made of all our Cemetery records and they do not give any account of the interment of Jacob Harsen or James Striker, nor do they show that any remains were removed from the old Bloomingdale Church to our Cemetery.
A record was kept among the papers of the family of those whose remains were removed from the church, but it has failed to materialize in time to be incorporated here. The list which the Corporation enclosed of those lying in the above vaults contains only the names of those who died since the removal.
Jacob Harsen died seized of the farm. His will, dated March 26th, and proved Sept. 15, 1835 (L. 74, Wills, 215), after certain legacies to his wife and others, devised
unto my wife Catherine my mansion house, buildings and lands thereunto belonging (whereon I now live) situate at Harsenville, in the Twelfth Ward of the City of New York, on the westerly side of Tenth Avenue . . con- taining about fifteen acres of land, to have and to hold during the term of her natural life.
As she had died before him by a brief space, Jacob Harsen, M.D., his grandson, son of testator's son Cornelius, entered into possession of the homestead under the terms of the will. Specific portions of his lands were bequeathed also to him in fee and another section to his executors, John A. Mildeberger, broker,

James Cockcroft, physician and the said grandson, in trust for John Peter Ritter Harsen, another grand- son. As he died in 1842 unmarried and intestate provision for his issue was rendered void and his brothers and sisters took his interest, it being claimed that under the decision in Moore vs. Lyons, 25 Wendell, 118, all the grandchildren (i. e., the children of Colonel Harsen) who were living at the death of testator took vested remainders in the land devised in trust for said John Peter Ritter Harsen. The testator left other lands in Bloomingdale, derived through his wife from her father Garret Cozine and which were a part of the Cozine farm situated in the fifties.
Jacob Harsen, M.D., who inherited so much of his grandfather's property under the will, was of unmixed Knickerbocker descent. His early years were spent in Harsenville and at the age of eight years he became a scholar at Bloomingdale Academy-a celebrated school in those days. Dr. John G. Adams read a memoir of Dr. Harsen on June 1, 1864, before the New York Academy of Medicine, and it is to that paper that we are indebted for the accompanying data. He says:
It was at this period, in 1815, that our acquaintance with Dr. Harsen commenced. We were members of the same class and were more intimately acquainted in consequence of the summer residences of our parents being in the same neighbourhood. We well remember him as a rosy-cheeked boy, full of fun and frolic, amiable in his disposition, always neat and tidy in his person and with as much love for study as is usually found in boys of that age. The school having been discontinued in 1818 [the date is incorrect for one of the author's uncles attended it in 1820, and his school books are still extant marked with the scholar's name,] it was decided to place Jacob under the charge of Mr. John

Walsh, at that time in high repute as a teacher, with a view to his preparation for college. He continued with Walsh until the fall of 1821 and in October of that year was admitted to the Freshman Class in Columbia College, taking a respectable mark for scholarship. After passing through the usual terms of his collegiate course he gradu- ated in July 1825. Having selected medicine as a pro- fession, he in October entered, as pupil, the office of Alexander H. Stevens, who, at that time, was in the zenith of his professional career, both as a general practitioner, as one of the surgeons of the New York Hospital and sub- sequently, in 1862, as Professor of the Principles and Practice of Surgery in the College of Physicians and Sur- geons. During the last years of his preparatory course, our friend was most assiduously devoted to his studies and in his attendance upon the office examinations, so much so, that the late Dr. Dwight Harris, then in charge of this department, had frequent occasion to compliment the candidate on his excellent preparation for the approaching ordeal. He received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in March 1829. His venerable preceptor, Dr. Stevens, writes: "My memories of Dr. Harsen, during his pupilage, are quite fresh. I honored his frank and truthful character, the clearness and distinctness of his mental faculties, the cautiousness with which he drew his conclusions and the outspoken fearlessness with which he supported them."
After graduation he continued to live at home and opened an office in his father's residence in Greenwich, near Charlton Street. He gradually retired from general practice but devoted himself to the relief of the suffering poor of the neighbourhood. During the prevalence of the first cholera epidemic in 1832 he rendered incalculable service to the community as one of the five physicians appointed by the Medical Council, in which position the records of the Council show that he performed the largest amount of labor and for the

longest period. On the death of his grandfather in 1835 he was enabled to carry out a long-cherished design of visiting the Old World, making an extensive tour through Great Britain and the Continent, where he visited Russia and later Algeria. In January 1842, he was elected one of the Managers of the Northern Dispensary of which he was President at the time of his death. He was a member of the St. Nicholas Society from its organization in 1835, was one of its attending physicians in 1843, '44, and '45; and in 1859, '60, and '62 he was honored with the office of Vice-President. He held the same office in the New York Eye Infirmary, the Society for the Relief of Widows and Orphans of Medical Men, and a Trustee and a member of the Council of the Academy of Medicine.
