SCHERMERHORN
This family was es- tablished in the Mohawk Valley of
New York state by Jacob Janse Schermerhorn, born 1622 in Waterland, Holland. Although in 1654 his father was a resident of Amster- dam, Holland, Jacob Janse died in Schenec- tady, New York, 1689. At an early day he settled at Beverwyck (Albany), where he be- came prosperous as an Indian trader and brewer. He made his will, May 20, 1688, and in it devised property worth 56,822 guilders (about $23,000). His estate was considered very large at that time and was exceeded by few except the patroons and men of high offi- cial rank. He married Jannetje Legers, daugh- ter of Cornelius Legers Van Voorhoudt. He mentions in his will, May 20, 1688, children : Ryer, of whom further ; Symon ; Helena, mar- ried Myndert Hasmense Van Der Bogart; Jacob; Machledt, married Johannes Beekman ; Cornelius; Jannetje, married Caspar Spring- stein; Neeltje, married Barent Ten Eyck; Lucas.
(II) Ryer, eldest son of Jacob Janse Scher- merhorn, settled in Schenectady, New York. He was one of the five patentees named in the patent granted in 1684, and in 1700 was the sole survivor of the original owners of the township. There were about eighty thousand acres of land in the Schenectady patent, all of
12
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
which, after the death of the other four pat- entees, came under his charge and management as trustee, except a few farms that had been · granted before. This one man power became distasteful to the people, who petitioned for a new charter which should give them the power of choosing five trustees to hold office three years. The new charter was granted, but Schermerhorn paid no attention to it, nor to his newly appointed trustee. He still contin- ued to act as sole trustee for the town in re- ceiving rents and profits thereof and in prose- cuting suits-at-law in his own name only, with out giving any account thereof ; this too in spite of his suspension from office by the governor. The secret of his stubborn persistence in the duties of the trusteeship was the fact that the first patent of 1684 was still binding and he as the sole survivor of the trustees was vested with all the power and authority originally granted to the five trustees named in the first patent. The fee of the land was in him, his heirs, assigns and successors, and could only be alienated by death, or release in due form. The secured charter was amended and on May 25, 1714, he appeared before the governor and council and after a full hearing for all matters against him was suspended from "acting fur- ther as trustee of the said towne", but he con- tinued obstinate and disregarded the demand of the new trustees for an accounting to them of his official acts. They then commenced suit against him in the court of chancery, he and his friends in turn instituting counter suits in the same court. These several suits and oth- ers continued down to the death of the second Ryer Schermerhorn in 1795, a period of nearly one hundred years, and were only settled by the New York legislature passing an act, March 26, 1797, which took all powers and duties in relation to the common lands, con- ferring them upon the mayor, aldermen and commonalty of Schenectady. A commission was appointed under the act which finally set- tled all claims and closed their accounts, Au- gust 10, 1798. In 1690 he was a member of the provincial assembly from Albany county and justice of the peace. In 1700 he was ap- pointed assistant to the judge of the court of common pleas. He was a man of unusual abil- ity, firm will, undaunted courage, great strength and powers of endurance. His mills on the Schuylenburg Kill, together with Farm No. 4 of Van Cuyler's "Bouwerie" was held in the family two hundred years. He made
his will, April 3, 1717, and died February 19, 1719, leaving two daughters and three sons, all of whom had families.
He married, July, 1676, Ariantje Bralt, widow of Ulmer Otten, who had left a daugh- ter Tryntije (Catherine), and also property in Holland and America. This caused special contracts and agreements at the time of her second marriage safeguarding her interests and those of her child. Children mentioned in will: Jan (John, Johannes), inherited the homestead; Catalina, married Johannes Wemp; Jannetje, married Volkert Simonse Veeder ; Jacob, of whom further; Arent.
(III) Jacob, son of Ryer Schermerhorn, died July 4, 1753. He inherited "8 Morgens (16 acres) of the Hindmost Bouwery, 2151/2 morgens of woodland" and a lot of land in the village of Schenectady. He married, October 20, 1712, Margarita -, died May 22, 1741, daughter of Johanna Teller, and granddaugh- ter of William Teller, the first settler of the name in New Amsterdam, and a trader in Al- bany for fifty years, removing thence to New York. In 1692 he was one of the associate trustees with Ryer Schermerhorn under the famous first patent of Schenectady and the last but him to survive. Children: Ryer, Jo- hanne, Jacobus, of whom further; William, Arent, Andries, Simon, Susanna, married John Visger.
(IV) Jacobus, son of Jacob Schermerhorn, was born January 3, 1720, died July 28, 1782. He was a farmer and owned land in different parts of the town.

(V) John (Johannes), son of Jacobus Schermerhorn, was born January 29, 1765, died January 7, 1814. He married Catharine Bratt (Bradt), born June 29, 1764, died Sep- tember 13, 1817, daughter of Jacobus and Elizabeth Bratt, a descendant of Arent An- dries Bratt, an early settler of Schenectady.

He married Sybill Brown, born in Herkimer county, New York, where she died. Children: George, Jacob, Lansing, John, Orville, of whom further ; James. All born and spent their lives in Herkimer county.
(VIII) Orville, son of John (2) Schermer- horn, was born in Herkimer county, New York, died there in October, 1869. He was educated in the public schools, and was a farmer all his life. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Baptist church. He married Mary Elizabeth Harder, born at Rossie, St. Lawrence county, New York, April 24, 1842, who survives her husband, a resident of East Bradford, Pennsylvania. She is a daughter of Jacob Harder, born in St. Law- rence county, New York, 1807, died 1891. He was a stone-cutter and passed his entire life in his native county.

(IX) Edward Edgar, only child of Orville and Mary Elizabeth (Harder) Schermerhorn, was born at Sprague's Corners, St. Lawrence county, New York, December 15, 1867. He was educated in the public schools of St. Law- rence, finishing at Lawrenceville Academy, of which he is a graduate. He supplemented his academic study with a course at the New York State Normal School at Potsdam, whence he was graduated, class of 1889. This qualifying
him to teach in the New York public schools, he passed two or three years engaged in that profession before his graduation. After leav- ing normal he secured a position in a graded school in McKean county, Pennsylvania, teach- ing there from 1889 until 1891. In the latter year he was appointed principal of the borough school of Kendall, which borough is now in- cluded in the city of Bradford, Pennsylvania. He continued in that position until 1899, when he was appointed principal of the third ward school of Bradford, remaining there until 1908. In that year he was elected superintendent of schools for the city, a position he now fills (1912). The school system of Bradford-al- ready an excellent one-has been placed upon a still higher plane of efficiency by Superin- tendent Schermerhorn, who is not only a most efficient teacher but an official of unusual exec- utive ability. He is well known in educational circles and stands among the leaders in his pro- fession. He is a constant student, and since graduation has systematically followed courses of study and reading, thus making his mind a storehouse of knowledge and keeping pace with modern thought, invention and discovery. He is a Republican in politics, and an attendant of the Methodist Episcopal church.
