Tupper. THIS book is produced primarily for the use and information of the family. Embodying as it does the essence of numberless family records, cherished in hundreds of households, with per- sonal biographies and domestic particulars of little concern to the out- side world, it partakes of the character of private papers, and bespeaks for itself the consideration usually accorded to such. In a rational consideration of family history one need not go to the length of transplanting here the ancestor-worship of the Chinese, or to the depth of rummaging the tombs of the dead for a decoration wherewith to distinguish the living. On the other hand, genealogies are surely not idle or unprofitable if, in linking us with the past, even though a dead past, they serve to reanimate it with such color of life as enables us the better to interpret the present and anticipate the future. The simple duty apparent and welcome to open minds and uncorrupted hearts is to know who and what our ancestors were, in actual life, for filial reasons and for the sake of the knowledge itself, if not for our own sake. Prom a discriminating study one must arrive at the conviction that, after all, social radiance can in reality emanate only from one's own light, and not from the reflected beams of an ancestor. With some appreciation of this philosophy I have pursued my re- searches as to the Dorlands, and have considered them in a spirit respectful, if not reverential. I have found little to their discredit, and much to their credit ; and what I have found has been set down impartially and without favor, except that proportionately more space Preface. / has been devoted to the emigrants and their immediate successors than to their later descendants, to the end that the memory of those remote, in preference to those more recent and readily accessible, might at once be rescued from threatened oblivion. The family history presents a great diversity of experience : and this experience and the chronicles of the several branches, including their individual life-records, their p 'esent and past distribution, and their varied vicissitudes in successive epochs, constitute the theme of this volume. There may be a touch of pathos in the circumstance that a majority of these life-records are compressed within the brief epitome of birth, marriage, and death. But it is not to be inferred that these meagre / life-marks are all that can be given : they suffice to suggest and recall ' to those who knew the subjects in the flesh, all needful particulars. Probably in every home circle where exists the vacant chair, its de- parted occupant — ' Named softly as the household name of one whotn God hath taken "— has been keenly missed ever since, and in many such cases anything more than a mere mention would be distressing surplusage. As to other individuals, gone hence to the undiscovered country long ago, further details are presented, measured by the means of information at hand and the evident merits of the subjects. Regarding certain of these individuals, from the special interest attaching to them, every pertinent scrap of information has been ^-ladly availed of. Where gaps occur and particulars are wanting in families of the present generation, the reader will understand either that these particulars are not deemed essential or else that they could not be supplied without undue difficulty and delay. The space afforded by the wide margins and blank pages at the end will permit the addition of personal annotations from time to time, to eke out the text and record later memoranda. John Quincy Adams remarked truly that " posterity delights in details." To minister to the enjoyment of the Dori,and posterity I have essayed to supply, by way of coloring, such details as will convey a concrete idea of the life and surroundings of our ancestors, and of the important events associated with them and their times. The method of statement devised in the genealogical schedules is a departure from the conventional form, but it seems to offer some advantages over the accepted method in that it presents at a glance the membership of each family circle and at the same time preserves Preface. XI a lineal continuity. It evolved itself naturally from the necessities of the work, and it is hoped that it will be found self-explanatory and more satisfactory than the usual form. The posterity of the emigrants is here traced, contrary to the usual custom, in the female as well as the male lines, wherever practicable ; and it is hoped that this feature also may commend itself to the reader. As the title indicates, this hook concerns only DoRr.ANDS in America. To trace the family back to its source across the water would perhaps involve the labor of a lifetime. I have received intimations that the family originated in France, possibly in the city of Orleans, and thence removed in whole or in part to Holland, perhaps to the village of Breiickelen ; and that, in addition to its appearance in America, it has been lapresented subsequently, under the form of Darling, on the eastern coasts of England and Scotland. This latter intimation is supported by the coincidence that all the coats-of-anns which I have examined of English and Scottish Darlings bear a striking resem- blance to the DOK'.AND arms, though varied as to personal crests, and seem to be f'tunded upon a common basis, of remote Continental origin. But, lacking facilities and opportunity for the prosecution of a thorough inquiry abroad, I have confined myself within the restric- tions prescribed by the title, and have found therein an ample field for the exercise of whatever patience and ingenuity I may possess. I may add simply, the coat-of-arms here presented indicates that the D0RI.ANDS did have a history acro&s the water. The historical resources I have utilized, In addition to the reposi- tories of public records, are the Library of Congress at Washington, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, the Astor and Lennox Library at New York, the Long Island Historical Society at Brooklyn, and the New York State Library at Albany. Many interesting tradition the family in various localities have come to my notice, but upon full analysis I have found it safest to pay but little attention to their literal import. Many of them bear a strong affinity to each other, but the most of them are alike erroneous and misleading, if accepted literally, and practically all of thpm are as ambiguous as the utterances of the ancient oracle of Delphi— seeming to palter with the truth in a double sense. They become intelligible only when interpreted in the light of definite information drawn from other sources, and have proven useful chiefly as suggestions for lines of patient investigation. xU Preface. ;/ For all errors, shortcomings, and inaccuracies I beg the indulgence of the generous reader. In a work like this, bristling witli dates and names, absolute correctness is scarcely attainable. In fact I doubt if such a thing as perfection is possible in any elaborate genealogy. My only hope is to have reduced, by assiduous care in sifting and verifying every item, the number of possible errors to a minimum. Further, though I have endeavored to include in this history all the traceable branches of the Dori,ands, I apprehend that, despite my efforts, some branches may have been overlooked. In a country so extensive as North America it would be indeed surprising if any net could be woven big enough and comprehensive enough to encompass all the scattered children of a family so old and prolific and restless as the DORLANDS. Some lines have snapped otf short and thus been lost to further searching ; and it may be anticipated that fresh researches, following the publication of this volume, will lead to their recovery, and perhaps the discovery of new lines. I shall be gratified if such should be an indirect result of this work. In any event I shall take comfort from the hope that, should a second enthusiast arise in the family to trace its history and carry it forward, his labors will be the lighter in consequence of mine. The thought which I have bestowed upon these records, the pilgrimages I have made in search of them, and the drudgery I have willingly performed in their compilation have brought me their own reward in two years' instructive pastime, and — " Howsoever they be done, I leave them as a father does his son." To all of the kindred who have aided this work, I return cordial thanks ; and it gives me pleasure to acknowledge my special obliga- tions, for zealous and hearty co-operation in supplying records, to — Nathanibi, McPhbrson DurIiIng, of Raritan, N.

'T'HK Borland Family in America, with all its branches bearing modified form.s of the family name, .sprang from two emigrant brothers from Holland, Jan GerkETse DoRLANDT and Lambert Janse Dorlandt, who came to the New Netherlands in the years 1652 and 1663, in the time of Peter Stuyvesant. The family is not a large one comparatively, and yet by no reader of this book will it be deemed a particularly small one. For three centuries it has consisted of good people, with scarcely an exception ; — intelligent, patriotic, sturdy, industrious. God-fearing people ; plain and unpretentious as a rule, and animated by little wordly ambition, but char- acterized by exceptional vitality, .strength of will, and stability of character. From the early Knickerbocker days in New York the family has borne a creditable part in the history of the American Colonies and of the United States and Canada, botli in peace and in war ; and though few of its members have been conspicuous in the rolls of military fame, or pre- 2 The Dorland Family. eminent in civil life by reason of notable public acts, it has contributed a full quota to the sum-total of sound and sub- stantial American citizenship. Incidentally, few Doklands have been unable to make their own signatures ; none of them is known to have ever been jailed as a criminal ; they have uniformly enjoyed the respect and esteem of all com- munities wherein they have flourished, and the family name has invariably stood as a guarantee of the personal honor and merit of its possessor. ''.^''^^ According to the prevailing custom in Holland, children in the New Netherlands received, in addition to the baptismal name, the name of the father, or, sometimes, of the mother, with the suffix zoott oi ., meaning son (or daughter) — this patronymic forming a liddle name in early families. In writing, the termination seji was frequently contracted into se, and to z or s. From this it would appear that Jan Ger- RETSE DoRi^ANDT, the emigrant, and the first of the name of whom we have definite information, was a son of one Grrret Dori-Andt ; and in the ca.se of Lambert Jansb DoRLANDT it is believed the "Janse" (matron ymic) came from his mother, whose name before marriage is supposed to have been Jansen or Johnson. Perhaps these parents came to America also, but there is no certain account of them.* Jan Gkrretse Dorlandt and Lambert Janse DORLANDT each had a son GerrET, and by way of distin- guishing them from each other the parental middle names were transmitted to them, contrary to the usual rule ; — ^Jan Gerretse's son Gerret being known as Gerret Ger- *Teuiils G, Bergen in hin " Early Settlers of Kinc!)

RETSB DoRtANDT, and Lambert Jansb's as Gkrret Janse DORLANDT.* No evidence has been found showing the ori'^in of any branch of Dorlands in this country from a . > rce other than the two emigrants as above. But no less than six distinct forms of the name are used to-day by branches of the family, and on this account certain of these branches have no idea of their relationship to the others. The name Borland in the original Dutch signifies "dry- land " or " dry ground."! The variations in its for in- chiefly attributable to phonetic causes and to laxity ii; sijcll- ing in early times. Precision ir the orthography of names, it should be remembered, is the partial acquisiti m of he present century, whereas in former times names w-re allowed to spell themselves, in common with many riher words. The Dutch forms of this name were Dormant rp, DokLANT, and DoRLAND.

It can be readily understood that in negligently attempting to reproduce the name from its popular sound it could be written Dorlon or Dori.an with- out violence. Hence came those forms. If we slur the vowel it would resemble the sound of the vowel u ; and hence came the form Durland. If now we elide the final d, as is frequently done in pronunciation, it would sound precisely like Durlin. In writing it in that form by sound, the uninstructed pre.sumably thought they were perfecting it by supplying a final g, making it Durung, by analogy with similar words ending in ing ; and we know that a name once written in a particular way is often accepted by the owner. These five distinct forms are to-day borne by various branches of Dorlands whose descent is traced back with exactness link by link lo the emigrant Dori^andts ; and in addition, the form Darijng is used by a small offshoot of the Dorlan branch (Penn.sylvania), whose rep- resentatives, in changing the form from Dorlan, are said to have supposed they were thereby returning to first prin- ciples, having heard that the Darling family of England and Scotland, rendered notable liy the heroism of Grace Dnrling, was identical with the original Dorland family. In the genealogical schedules in this volume an attempt has been made to locate the precise generation in which each modified form of the name was adopted and established. Several of these forms have been used at successive periods by single lineal branches. Other deviations from the original have been encountered both in print and in manuscript records, and some of these appear in footnotes aud extracts in the course of this volume. General Review, Both of the emigrant brothers settled first in the then little village and township of Brooklyn, and soon became promi- nent there. The elder lived and died there, bnt the younger removed after some years to Staten Island and, late in life, to New Jersey. Their children settled, some of them, in Brooklyn township, and others in the near vicinity on Long Island — at Flatbush, Flatlands, New Utrecht, Gravesend, Jamaica, and Hempstead, and on Staten Island, across the Narrows. The early colonists of the New Netherlands, of whom the early Dorlands formed a part and parcel, in some respects of quality and character resembled the first New England colonists and the oppressed exiles who founded at a later date Penn's free commonwealth. The hardy Dutch emi- grants brought with them their wives and families, and they meant to stay and grow up with the country. In their Fatherland the old feudal order had disintegrated, and society had experienced a radical renovation ; and the Dutch race, emancipated from the shackles that had bound it for nges, had lately risen to international influence, had become a prime factor in all the larger fields of progressive enterprise and trade, and was then leading the van in liberal education and in all the varied arts of honoralile industry. With the Holland emigrants had also come French Huguenots, and Walloon emigrants of Gallic extraction from the Belgic provinces, whose immediate ancestors had suffered persecution for conscience' sake, and who them- selves were ardently devoted to the cause of civil and re- ligious liberty. These settled chiefly in New Amsterdam, on Staten Island, and ou the western end of I inhahitaiits, tlie lu)uses jld-faslii(jned, and the streets irreeular ; and attributes the selection of the name f.)r the New Ntlherland village to llu- strikiujr similarity in the situation and cor;esi)ondinjf conditions of tlio two i)laces, Aceordinjf to IJuteh authorities (he i,i,,ue means "marsh-land." lirooklyn in New York has in its history been variously spelled Ilreuckelen, llreuck- lyn, llreurkland.

General Revierv. seems to have hovered in the otherwise clear sky of those halcyon days one cloud, ever recurring in the form of a dread of hostile Indians.* The language of Holland was of course the prevailing tongue, and the customs of Holland were in the ascendant. The houses, comfortable and spacious, though of but one story, or one and a half, including the attic, were built chiefly of wood, sometimes of little Dutch bricks, with large stone chimneJ^s reaching from the ground floor. They had high- ridged but lowly-sloping thatched roofs, and their projecting caves formed a sheltered piazza or porch along the entire front, fitted with benches for sunnnerease. Each house was surrounded by a garden, wherein the chief vegetable culti- vated was the cabbage and the chief flower the inevitable Dutch tulip ; and the front door was provided with a huge brass knocker, burni.shed dailj'. The interior of these simple and primitive dwellings was as unpretentious and substantial as the exterior. Every- thing was intended for use rather than for ornament. The fire-place, glazed with blue Holland tiles illustrating scenes from the Scriptures, was of vast proportions. Carpets were unknown ; but the wooden floors were kept immaculately * " To prevent incursions of Indians, the riovernor, in 1660. ordered tiie inbal>itnnls of Brooklyn to i>nt tlieir town in a state of defence, and also coinniantled the farm- ers to remove within llie fortificatitnis under liie penalty of foifeiling their estates.

Those who look up arms for the r4>yal cause were siii)erciliously regarded by the Hritish commanders as an itiferior order of aids, worthy of litlle'more consideration than their Indian allies. Their practical knowledge was not utilized nor their counsel desired.

See l.udlow, ch. vii. 20 The Dor land Family. not actually bearing arms sought to remain at home and pursue their usual avocations in peace. But by many this course was found to be impracticable. Long Island and the contiguous counties were unavoidably harried by both the American and British Armies, and Loyalist and Patriot citizens indiscriminately were deprived of their substance by tbe alternate ascendancy of opposite parties. But from friends and foes alike the Loyalists alone .seem to have re- ceived hard knocks and inconsiderate treatment. Those peaceably inclined who aought safety within the British lines were doomed to exile to the then inhospitable shores of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia or to the untrodden wilds of Upper Canada. Indeed, of the population of Queens County alone, fully one-third was compelled to flee to Nova Scotia. Several of the Dorlands whose history is noted in following pages were among the refugee families who settled in Nova Scotia and in Upper Canada. From and by the families of the latter settlers has been built up, after severe hardships and privations, the prosperous Province of Ontario.-'' ♦ " Of the reasons which influenced, of the hopes and fears which agitated, and of the niiseries and rewards whicli awaited the I*oyalists — or, as they were called in the politics of the time, the Tories— of the American Revolution, but little i« known.

" Until very recently, the early history of the I.oyali.sts of America has never been written, except to blacken their character and misrepresent their actions; t'ley were represented as a .set of idle office-seeker.s — an imputation which lias boeii amply refuted bv their braving the forests of northern countries, and converting them into fruitfid fields, developing trade and couunerce, and establishing civiT re'.'giou.s, and educational in.stitutions that are an honor to America itself." — Kyerson's "Loyalists of America and Their Times," ii,"iH,s.

It was founded by the Loyalists driven by revolutionary violence from their homes."— Coldwin Smith's "Canada and the Canadian Question " General Review. ax These settlements were promoted by the humane policy of the British government shortly after the peace, whereby measures were taken to reward the Loyalists for their con- stancy, to relieve their necessities, and to provide for their future. Liberal grants of land in the Canadian Provinces were made to the Loyalist families,* half-pay was voted to the retired officers of Provincial regiments, and generous sums in cash were disbursed to those who had been impover- ished by the war through the confiscation or destruction of their property.f And these acts of material bounty were *'rhe K>'o«ts were made uix>ii a slicling-scale according to rank, n field-officer receiving 5,000 acres, a captain 3,000, a subaltern 2,000, and a private soldier 200 acres. t In iieRotiating the treaty of peace at Paris, the British Commissioners strouRly iirgcd that restitution l>e niiide oy America to the I^oyalists for projierty contiscated aw\ losses incurred during the war ; but Henjaminl'ranklin, who was one of the Americnn Commissioners, as strongly resisted the proposition. The dispute was piolonged, i\ud at one stage it seemerokeu off on this account. Finally Franklin declared he would agree to allow the Loyalist losses provided another account was opened and .set against them for the mischief they had wrought, property de.stroyed, slaves carried oflf, houses lnirnee promised, further confis- cation proceedings in the .Slates would cease, and that Congress should recommend to the .several States, on l>ehalf of the refugees, amnesty and restitution. Hut they had little to exjwct from the stipulated recommendations of Congress in their favor. .S(, of the States whose territory had been occupied longest and most recently by ^ne Dritish troops were even inclined to enact new conti.scations and impose .still more .severe sentences of banishment and punishment. Umler these ciicumstances the situation of the Loyalists became the subject of passionate debate in the p;nglish Parliament ; and, America having refused to provide for their compensatioii. Parliament assumed the responsibility and devised measures of relief The refugees organized and sent to London an agency to press their interests — one agent or delegate from each of the Colonies. James Delancey was the agent for the Loyalists of New York, David (Igden for tho.se of New Jersey, and Jo.seph Galloway for those of Pennsylvania and Delaware. In June. I7\V a bill was introduced in Parliament and pa.s.sed without opimsition. authorizing a Hoard of Commissioners to inquire into the 1o.sses and services of the Loyalists. The Comiuission iK'gnn its work in October, and the time in which claims could be presented was extended by several renewal acts until 1789. The whole matter was linally dispoiied of in 1790. The Commission divided the I^oyalists into six classes : 1. Tho.se who had rendered service to Great Britain. 2. Those who had borne arms for Great Britain. .1. t:niform and zealous Loyalissts. 4. Loyal English subjects resident in Great Britain. 5. Loyalists who had taken oaths to the American States, but afterwards jnined the llriti.^b. 6. Loyalists who had iKirne arms for the American States, but Hftcrward joined the British Army or Navy. There were norlands of mo.st of these cla.s.scri. ICvery applicant was rccpiired to furui^li proof ttt loyalty and of every si«'cies of loss. u(mhi oath. l)firi\-s in Itif dis- position of claims caused much dissatisfaction. Favoritism was alleged, and the 22 The Borland Faviily. supplemented in 1789 by Orders in Council placing "a mark of honor " upon the families who had "adhered to the Unity of the Empire and joined the Royal standard in America " before the treaty of separation ni 1783, to the end that their posterity might be discriminpted f^^orably among future settlers in Canada. A list of m -\\ !'<■ 'fs was pre- pared ; and from the significant woraa. ' Onity of the Empire," it was styled the " United Empire List," and the names of those borne upon it were distinguished as " U. E. Loyalists."* After the Revolution, in addition to the compulsory emigration of Loyalist Dori.ands to Upper Canada and Nova Scotia, several fruitful Long Lsland and New Jersey families, not Loyalists, descended from Jan GerrETSR, also removed to Ontario, Canada ; and on the other hand, some of the Nova Scotia refugees returned, in consequence of the repeal of the harsh laws enacted against their class.

The only Status and Territories where they are not known to reside are New Hampshire, Rliode Island, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, Ne- vada, Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska. The military history of the Dokland family as a whole has been noteworthy. In the Revolution twenty-one DoR- LANDS are known to have participated : sixteen on the Amer- ican side, and five on the British side. In the War of 1812 thirteen Dorlands were engaged : ten on the American side, and three on the British. And in the Civil War we have record of over fifty Dorlands who served under the Stars and Stripes, and six Dorlands and Borland descend- ants who served under the Stars and Bars. In all proba- bility there were also many others of the family of whom record has not been found ; but such details as have been obtained are set forth in the military section of this book. Most of them were private soldiers ; l)ut they were fighters, and against none of them has been found any record of dis- honor, and each bore his part faithfully and worthily throughout his service. Taking a brief but comprehensive survey of the Dorx.ands in America, including Borland descendants by female lines, we observe that they have engaged in nearly all the honor- able avenues of activity open to American citizenship : in the learned professions — the ministry, literature, law, medi- cine, and instruction, in the paths of state-craft, in the marts of trade, and in productive and manufacturing pur- suits. Although the great majority have been tillers of the soil — the salt of the earth, yet even the imperfect canvass of avocations herein attempted reveals twelve clergymen — four General Review. Quaker, four Presbyterian, two Methodist, one Episcopalian, and one Congregational ; ten members of State legislatures, one distinguished Representative in Congress, three mem- bers of the Canadian Parliament, four bank presidents, sev- enteen physicians, fifteen lawyers, four editors, twelve teach- ers, eight dentists, twelve managers of industrial concerns, several manufacturers, thirty-four merchants, twelve millers, four coal operators, ten sheriffs, six postmasters, and five justices of the peace, besides at least a dozen persons con- nected with railroads in various capacities, seven engaged in insurance, and several in real estate. The family is also represented in the latest developments of art, electricity, stenography, trained-nursing, stock-brokerage, the bicycle trade, veterinary surgery, terrapin-farming, oyster-canning, and iron production. The late eminent historian, Bknson John Lossing, was a son of a Doki..\nd mother of the Quaker branch. Two Dori.ands, of different branches, were pioneers among the " '49-ers " in the California gold fields. A Borland daughter of a New Jersey branch was the wife of a medical missionary who died of cholera recently at Petchaburee, in Siam. A Borland descendant is in com- mand of the Royal Canadian Artillery in the Citadel of Que- bec, and his son is an officer in the British Army in India. Another Borland descendant. Ensign Wilprid V. Powkl- soN, rendered invaluable service recently in determining the origin of the explosion that destroyed the United States Bat- tleship Maine in Havana harbor, and still another is serving on the United States Battleship Indiana in the War against Spain, and participated in the late brilliant naval actions in West Indian waters. 26 The Borland Family.

PRELUDE SKETCH. JAN GERRETSE DORLANDT was the first Borland immigrant to this countrj- of whom we have certain record, and the progenitor of the larger branch of the family in America. He came to the New Netherlands from Holland in 1652. No passenger lists are extant of Dutch vessels arriving at the port of New Atnsterdam in that year, but fortunately the fact is determined with sufBcient precision by other means. In the latter part of September, 1687, after the English had wrested the New Netherlands from the Dutch, the Dutch inhabitants were requi, .d to take an oath of allegiance to the English crown ; a id in receiving this oath, the administering officer in each case took the pains to note, doubtless in accordance with instructions, whether the citizen was native-born or an immigrant, and if an immigrant, the number of years of his residence in America. In the li.st of those who took the oath in the village of Brooklyn appears 35 36 The Dorland Family. the name of this ancestor as "Jan gerrisr dorland," and to his name is appended the remark, " 35 Jeare " (35 years).* Thus by subtracting from 1687 thirty-five years, the year of his arrival is ascertained — 1652. An inferential tradition is that he was a young man when he came to try his fortunes in the New World. Lacking definite information, we may surmise that he was, say, twenty-three or twenty-five years of age ; and from this we may set c.own the year of his birth as approximately 1625 or 1627. We know that he was still living as late as 1711, so that we may be assured that he attained the ripe old age of at least eighty-four years. His career, as we may judge from the fragmentary records that have come down to us, was in every way creditable. He seems without doubt to have been an industrious, ener- getic, intelligent, enterprising, and just man, and to have borne an active part in the development of the community in which he had cast his lot. In Brooklyn he settled first near Fulton Street Ferry, and later in the village of Bedford, in Brooklyn township.t We find him located there in 1657. | His farm or "bowery," •This list is entiUeil, "The Roll off those who hnue Taken the oath olT alleginiice ill the KiiiRS County in the Province off New Yc)i-ke the if^ : 27 ; 2S. 29 and ,^oth day off SepteniTier In the Third ycare ofl" His Maytsli.

The little settlement thus formed was adjacent on the south to another known as Cripjileltnsh. aiicl Lay at the intersection of the Jamaica highway, tl-.e Clove Road running to I'lnllmsh, and the Cripple- bush Road running to'Newtown.

Unusual facilities of education were afforded in the neighborhood of Brooklyn at that early period.f His exact burial place is not known ; but this is not sur- prising when it is realized that tombstones were not used among the early Dutch settlers, and that interments were made in family and private grounds, where the graves were marked simply with field-stones, significant enough to con- temporaneous kindred, but not to late posterity. It is sup- posed that hi? grave is somewhere either in the old Dutch *The littlc^stniiellJ'itcli^chtirch'in which they worshipped stood in the middle of the public Iroad. now I'ulton Street, uear tlie luterscctiou of Hridse Street, just a mile from the old Kultoii Ferry and opposite the Dutch Churcli-yard on tile s. e. side of the street.

His descendants are to-day numerous and widely distribu- ted. The greater number of them reside in the States of New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Cahfornia, Nebraska, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Michigan, and in the Provinces of Ontario and Nova Scotia.

(a) GKRkKT GkrrETSE Dorlandt, born 1655, at Brooklyn; died after 1741 ; married first, May 25, 1682, Cornkua DK Bkauvoisk, who was baptized Mar. 3, 1659, at New Amsterdam, and died 1682-3 ;* married second, 1684-5, Gertrude Aukes Van Nuys. It is regretted that so little is known of this founder of a strong branch of the family. But from fragments of informa- tion derived from various sources we can form at least some idea of him and his surroundings. In the year 1741 he appeared as a witness in a lawsuit at Brooklyn, brought by one Frederick Lubbertse against George Bergen and Israel Horsford, respecting the boundary line between two farms in the vicinity of Brooklyn ; and in his testimony he stated incidentally that he was then eighty-six years old ; that he was born " near the Ferry " (now Fulton Ferry), in Brooklyn ; that he resided in Brooklyn, and that he was familiar with all the lines of the property in dispute. It is stated that he described the corners and lines minutely and with singular clearness, and proved to be the most important witness in the case. From this statement of his age in 1741, the year of his birth is readily deducible ; but in the absence of exact infor- mation as to the date of his death we must content ourselves *Dati. of Cnrel de Beaiivoise, wlio came from I^eyden, In South Holland, Feb. 17. ifistj, with his wife, .Sophia Van lyodensteyn, and tliree ch. Carel was a French Protestant. He res. for a short time at New Amsterdam, and in 1661 was made choirmaster, rejuler and .schoolmaster for the people of lirooklvn, at a .salary of is snildersand free house-rent (see footnote on p. 41 ). He had four ch.— three 1>. in I.eyden, and Cok.nf.lia, b. shortly after his arrival in America, at New Am.stenlam.—.See llerKen's " Early Settlers," S.s. 44 The Dorland Family. with the fact that he must have died after 1741, or at least after giving his testimony in the lawsuit in that year. From the records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Brook- lyn we learn that lie resided at the " Wale-Bocht " (Wall- about) and was a member and communicant of the church in the period Ijetween 1677 and 1687, and that his wife was also a member and communicant. Doubtless this record as to his wife refers to each of his two wives, respectively, in turn. In September, 1687, he took the oath of allegiance to the British government. In the list of those who took the oath, preserved in the New York State library at Albany, his name is set down as " GERRiT Dorlant native," under the heading, ' ' off fflackbush . " * From lyiber I of Conveyances (Brooklyn), page 160, we learn that on March 22, 1688-9, ^^ bought two lots of thirty acres each in the " New Lotts" of Flatbush, on the Third Kill, of Mrs. Mary, widow of Claes Jacobse Larzelere, or La Resielere ; and from another land record that on June 5, 1689, he mortgaged these same lots for ^^160 to Pietcr Jacobse Marius, of New York.f He and some of his family are included in the census of Kings County, taken about the year i6g8, as residing in ' ' the town off fflackbush. ' ' The entry is set down thus, under the head, "A list of all the freeholders their wives children apprentices and slaves within the Kings county on Nassauw Island": " Gerret DorlandT . . .

Gerret Gerretse. 45 From these records it appears that he was then living at Flatbush. At a later period we gather that he removed to Gravesend, for in "A list of all the Inhabitants off the township oflF Gravesend, both off whites and blacks, males and females," made up in March, 1738, appears this entry, preceded by the heading, " The names off the master off the house or mistresses, &c." : " Garret DoRtAND.Whites males above 10 years . i Whites females above 10 years . 2."* From his evidence in the lawsuit above referred to, three years later, it appears he had removed from Gravesend to Brooklyn. It further appears from the extracts quoted, that in 1698 his family consisted of six persons, and in 1738 of only three. We know of hi j having six children, the eldest baptized in 1685, and the next born about 1686 ; and we may legitimately infer that in 1698 one or two of the older chil- dren had left the parental roof to found homes of their own, and that in 1738 probably all had done so, except perhaps his daughters Hermina and Anna. It seems that all his children, with perhaps the exception of the first child, were by his second wife, Gertrude Aukes Van Nuys. A large number of his descendants now reside in Orange County, N. Y., in Luzerne County, Pa., in Nebraska, Kansas, and Massachusetts, and in the Canadian Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Gerret Gerretse Dor^andt's issue : t ♦Doc. .list., N.

Horn aljout 1636; liied 1692; married, about 16S0, Mrs. Miriam WmiAMS, widow, who was born about 1647.* The exact date of his birth is not known, but it is believed that he was younjjer than his brother Gerrrt Gerretse, and that, like him, he was born in the village of Brooklyn, probably near the old Fulton Ferry. He died a conipar- ativelj' young man, but he founded, nevertheless, by far the largest branch of the family. He was a miller and farmer, and posse.ssed considerable substance in Hempstead Town (equivalent to Township), Queens Countj', Long Island, where he settled early. The first mention of him in Hempstead occurs in the record of the transactions of a Town Meeting held Nov. i, 1676, where it is stated that three acres of land were granted to him.f The deed records of Queens County show that two years later, on Nov. 24, 1678, he purchased of Peter John.son Scoll a " house and home lott," indicating that he had become a permanent settler. A year and a half later he obtained a * Dan. of Henry and .\nne Pe.irsall. of Hcinpstead. whose other ch. were Nath- aniel, Daniel.

So far as known, there were but two Okrret Dorlaniits of adult age on Long Island at that date— GerketOerrktse. brother of Eli as, and GerhktJanse, cousin. Gehret Janse was then alHuit j6 years old. The middle names of'^lKjth Gekhets were often dropjwd. They do not apiwar in the record of oaths of allegiance in 16S7. Gerret Gerretsk, who took the oath at Flatbush, isset down by the enumerator as simply "gerrit Dorlant native," and Gerrit JANBE. who took the oath at Hrooklyn, is .set down likewise as "cerrit Dorlant native." Cornelius Ilaruson, the other overseer, had several land trau.sactions with Klias. Nathaniel Pearsall, one of the witnesses, was a brother of Miriam, Blias's wife. He was chosen in ifigi as one of the Representatives of Queens Co. in the Colonial Assemblv, but scrupled to take the prescribed oath because he was a Quaker, and was denfed adini.ssion.

Res., in Hempstead.* * Many interesting traces of him are found ir the town records of Hempstead. The first reference to him is this ; "1734, April 7.— John Tredwell, Thomas Carman and John Dorland chosen to prefix a day for drawing olT our sheep from thr. plains in the fall of the year," — tib. D, 360. On Apr. 5, 1726 and Apr. 4, 1717, he was r'.iosen at the town meeting as an as.sessor (I,ib. D, 368, 374). The pastoral interests of the community in his day and his con- nection therewith are suggested by these entries from the town records : " 1732, Oct. 18. — It was voted and strongly forbidden that no person should drive any sheep or cattle to fold them anywhere, either day or night. We also pray the assembly to make an Act to establish this vote, and that no horses, nor mares, nor horse kind should run at liberty on the Plains. Peter Smith, John Dorland, Thomas Williams, Silas Smith, Sphriam Valentine, John and Samuel Dusenboro protest against the vote about sheep ; and Danuel Pine and Isaac German protest against the vote about horses." — I.ib. D., 393. " 1738, April 25.— Voted tb-\t Jonathan Rowland and John Dorland take the sheep left m the pens after drawing on the appointed day, and keep them till next spring, and take their coats for their wintering, and mark the lambs by their mother's mark and turn them into the general sheep-pa.sture."— Is.session of Mrs. Vary E. Dorland, at Bennett, Neb., says : "John Dor- land lived to the age of 94. When in the act of crossing the Hua.son River on the ice, he broke through and drowned." How he came to be on the Hiid.son River can only be conjectured, but it is .surmised that perhaps he was on a sleighing Journey" to or from a visit to his ch. and grandch. then living in Dutche.ss Co. He made a will dated June i6, 1778 and prob. June 5, 1781 (I.ib. 34,201, Sur. Off., New York City). In it he conveyed several tracts of land and one-half of all the undivided right in the township of Hempstead which was formerly his father's.

Many of his descendants now live in Prince Edward Co., Ont. Dr. Ryereon, in his interesting and exhaustive work on the Loyalists, thus refers to the circumstances of this settlement and the experience of the pioneers: "At the conclusion of the Revolution, Upper Canada was unknown, or known only ns a region of dense wilderness and swamps, of venomous reptiles and Iwa.sts of prey, the hunting grounds and encampments of numerous Indian tribes, intense cold of winter, and no other redeeming feature except abundance of game and fish.

A- *Kor his war service, see military section, Revolution and War of 1812. He was known as " Captain Thomas." His proi^rty in New York was confiscated by the State. A tradition in the family has it that he remained in hidinj^ in the woods near his home in Dutchess Co. I -.r a time after the surrender of Dnr^oyne and was supplied with food in secret by meniliers of his family. By one account he fled from Dutchess Co. to Canada in 17S11, by the overland route, up through the woods and lakes of northern New York to Sorel, on the St. Lawrence. By another account he joined hisbrothersJoHNand Philip, and his sistersMARY, Lettv, andANNA, in the liand of Major Vanalstiue, in their memor-ible voyage by water to Sorel ill 17S3, Koiug from New York up the Atlantic coast and up the St. Lawrence, as recited in Footnote on p. 95.. It is related tliat he took with him from New York 20 negro slaves, to a.ssi.st in clearing the forests in his future Canadian home. As a Captain of Provincials he received half-pay from the British government after the peace, and also 3,000 acres of land in Adolphustown and in Prince Kdward for him.self, and 200 acres for each of his children. The farm he selected as his homestead adjoined his brother Philip's, on the Bay iu front of Adolphustown. lu Canada he served as Commissary for 18 years ; and on the refusal of his brother Philip to take the pre.scribed oath as a memlier of the first Parliament, he was elected to succeed him, and occupied a seat in Parliament for years. He was thus the first serving meml)er for the old Midland District. The first session of this first Parliament lasted only 4 weeks, terminating Oct. 15, 1792. But it enacted 8 bills, indicating no haste, well prepared, and of great importance and utility, providing for the introduction of English law, trial by jury, the charges of millers, the recovery of small debts, and for the division of the ttlii las. 135 (as) Samuki, Dori.and, b. 6-7-1786 ; d. 1861 ; ni.

Issue : Province into 4 Districts of 12 Counties each, with a jail and a court-house in each District. "The members of the Assembly have been represented as 'plain, home-spun clad farmers and merchants, from the plonKh and the store,' The members of the lA'Kislatnrc have always, for the most part, been .such from that day to this, but many of the memlwrs of the fir t Parliament of Upper Canada had po,s.ses.sed resjiectable, and .some of them luxurious homes. * * * Their home-sptin garments were some of the fruits of their own industry, and that of their wives and daughters. Eight years had elapsed since 10,000 of these I'nitcd Kmpire L,oyalists, driven from their homes in the States, came into the den.se wilderness of Upper Canada, to hew out homes for themselves and their families in the va.st solitude, the silence of which was only broken by the liarking of the fox, the howl of the wolf and the growl of the licar, and the occasional whoop of the Indian."— Ryerson, ii, 30S. " In the second session, the first Parliament passed an act forbidding the intro- duction of slavery into the province— ten years in advance of I„ower Canada on that subject." (Ryerson. ii. 313.) This act, while prohibiting the further importation and .sale of negro slaves, did not prevent the then holders from retaining tho.se they already had. It may be noted that this .step, in addition to l>eiug lo years in advance of I,ower Canada, was many years in advance of any similar step by England or any other country. The negro slaves owned by Thomas Dorlanu, who was a member of the Parliament which stopped the traffic and eventually extinguished the institution, remained with him by cnoice as menilwrs of his hou.se- hold as late as 1820, if not later. Several of his neighliors — Major Vanalstine, John Huyck. the Bogarts, and the Trumimurs — also brought slaves with them from New York. *For his military service, see military .section. He was known as "Colonel Sami'EL." He was a Wcsleyan Methodi.st. "A little east of the U. E. Memorial church, on a Iwautiful rise of ground overlooking the Bay, may still be .seeii the renuuns of the foundation of the old .school-house, probably the first in Adotphustown, Around the place still stand the grand spreading elms that then surrounded it. Here .some of the leading men of that section of the Province were taught their first les.sons— the Macdonalds, ' little Jack,' afterwards .Sir John, his sister Margaret, afterwards Mrs, Prof. Williamson, and his .lister Jane, all of whom now lie side by side in the Cataraqui Cemetry ; tlie Doklandk, Colonel *■ mi'ki. and Major Peter ; the Caseys. the "^.X''*iniiM>urs. and many others. The ■.school-hou.se was then a small square log / building, such as would now scarcely jjass muster in a backwoods school section, but it was quite a noted educational center then. George Hughes was the teacher— a well-educated Englishman. Scholars, like the Macdouald family, the Tr\nuix)urs, and others, came miles, from Hay Bay ;'.iorc.. and other parts of the Twp. to attend ; and others were sent from Picton. Brockville. and other distant points to get even the advantages of such a primitive .school as that."— Thomas W. Casey, tSy;. ' a-e-v-> •b. 130 The Dorland Family.

The " junior " necessarily involves a senior. Samuel, Jr., must have been an adult in 1703, when appointed a surveyor of highways 111 Hempstead, and his father must have been at least 40 years old, if living, or born not later than 166,1. Whether .Samuel, Sr., was father or uncle of Samuel, Jr., the date of his birth was too remote to supiiose him the son of any Uorlanut yiiinger than Jan Gehretse. the emigrant of 1652. t"i2, 9. 1726— Jeremiah Darlin and Kath.

One of the 4 is .said to have been a carpenter, and to have neen killed by falling timlwr. Nki.son Coleman Durland. grandson of William Uorland, wrote from Seymmir, Ind.. to Deli'hine K. Jack, under date Mar. 4. 1S90 : " It seems to me that luy mother told me that the carpenter's name was Jeremiah, but I am not positive." Pos.sibly the 4th son was Jeremiah, named after the father of the 4 as snpposetl, though this is speculative. If not. the 4th son may have been John, who d. 1790-1, at Hardwick, then in Su.s.sex Co., N. J., but now in Warren Co This John left a will dated May is, 1790, prob. Feb. 15. 1791 (Trenton. N. J). His legatees were his wife Charity, his son John, and his dans., Mary, wife of liKNjAMi.N .Smith, and Annk. wife of John Wri(;ht. The exrs. were his son John and John Armstrong, and the wit. were James Barton, Jo.seph Cox and Thomas Morford. Concerning living representatives of this branch in New Jersey, Nathaniel McPmerso.v Durlino, of Raritan. wrote, Feb. 20, 1.S97 : "Many of them are millers. I have been acquainted with several, and being a miller m^.self at one time, we were chummy. I always found when they talked about their ancestor.s, that lliey got back to northern Jersey and Orange Co., N. Y. It seems they don't stav in this locality. Draw a line from Elizal)etli to Plainfield, and thence to Flemiiigton and Stockton, on the Delaware : they don't get .south of it." Isaac W.

T AMBERT JANSE DORLANDT, the younger of the '■^ two emigrant brothers from Holland, and founder of the lesser branch of the family, came to America eleven years after his elder brother Jan Gerretse Dorlandt, arriving at >rew Amsterdam on April i6, 1663, in the ship Bontekoe (^Spoiled Cow), a vessel of the Dutch West India Company plying lietween that port and Amsterdam in Holland.* * This vessel was one of the Mayfloivrrs to the Dutch Colony, and .seems to have made several trips each year foi- a consiilcrahle peritxl. Sonic of 1,ami!i:ht's fellow imssengers on this voyage came from Tricltt, I.eerdam, Arnheim, I^imburu, Well, Kypen, I'icardy, the Vaysilu V'aud, MontpcUicr, l.cyden, and Paris. We es.sel, of the most improved Dutch con.structioii, and made by the ablest shn>-carpcnters of Amsterdam, who, it is well known, always nioflel their ships after the fair forms of their country-women. Accordingly, ft had 100 feet in the beam, 100 feet in the keel, and 100 feet from the bottom of lhesterii-i>o.st to Uie talTerel. * » • The architect, who was somewhat of a religious man, far from decorating the ship with pagan idols, such as Jupiter, Neptune, or Hercules (which heathenish abominations, 1 have no doubt, occr-sion the misfortunes and 176 The Dorland Family. No formal list of passengers on that trip has been pre- served, but in the New York State I,ibrary at Albany there is still to be seen the original book of accounts, in Dutch script, between the Dutch West India Company and the passengers, wherein Lambbrt Jansb Dorlandt's account is thus set forth : Amsterdam In N Nederlaudt 1663 LaMMKRTJaNSEN DORLANDT Debit voor Vracht en Costgelt dat Ao 1663 16 April! per het Scbip Bontekoe is herewaarts gecommandeerd 39 ( Translation : Van der Kemp, viii, 502. ) Lammbrt Jansen Dormant debet for freight end fare, when he arrived here on the 16 April 1663 on the Ship the Spotted Cow . . g 39.* shipwreck of many n noble vessel), he, I say, on the contrary, did laudably erect for a head, a gooilly inmee of St. Nicholas, equipped with a low, broad-brininied hat, a huge pair of^ Flemish trunk-hose, and a pipe that reached to the end of the Ixjwsprit. '1 hus gallantly furnished, the .staunch ship floated sideways, like a majestic goose. * • * Being under the especial care of the ever-revered St. Nicholas, the Gofile I'rouw seemed to be endowed with qualities unknown to common vessels. Thus she made as much lee-way as head-way, could get along very nearly as fast with the wind ahead, as when ft was a-ix)oj) — and was uarticu- larly great in a calm ; in consequence of which singular advantages, she made out to accomplish her voyage in a very few months." — " Knickerl)Ocker," Ilk. II, chap.'ii. * The alwve entry is taken from Colonial Mss., N. Y. (Dutch), xiv, H5,P. 74 of the original Ms. accounts, bound therein, between the Dutch Wert India Co. and the pa.ssengers. From these accounts were made up a number of the lists set forth in Doc. Hi.st., N, Y., iii. 51-63. Our extract occurs on p. 61, and appears thus "April ; In the Spotted Cow. * * ♦ I^AMMKKT Jansen Dorlant." Lambert Janse. 177 Taking his arrival at New Amsterdam as the starting point, we are enabled to follow him if not step by step, at least at frequent intervals, down toward the close of his long and busy life, and to note many of the principal incidents of his career. He was unquestionably a man of culture and education, and of much more than the average force of character. He bore himself well in all the relations of life in his day and generation ; he filled worthily several posts of trust and responsibility confided to him by his fellow , ioneers, and his name is honorably identified with the early history of Kings and Richmond Counties and of the infant Colony of New York. Tlie tradition is that he, like his brother, was young and unmarried on his arrival in America.* There is reason to believe that he was born in 1639-40, which would make him twenty-three years of age at the time of his immigration, and that he died in 1720, aged seventy-nine. In the period between 1663 and 1720 he resided about eighteen years at ^-ooV, /u, thirty-four years on Staten Island, and five yeai^ in ^^ .uerset County, East Jersey. His eldest son was Li r . at Brooklyn about the year 1666, so that the year of his marriage may be reckoned as 1665, two years after his immigration. ^"- married Hermina Janse Peters. So far as known, she was his only wife. Nothing definite has been handed down of her birth or death. She is mentioned in baptismal records as Hermina Janse and as Hermina Peters, and it is believed she was a daughter of one Jan Peters. Her name Hermina has been reproduced in some of her female descendants. * Scu icfereiice to this tradition in footnote on p. 39, under Jan Gkkketse. The account for his passai^e also iudicatRS that he came over aloue. m 178 The Dorland Family. He first settled in Brooklyn, at the Dorp— or village proper, as distinguished from the outlying hamlets. He seems to have served as a Constable of Brooklyn in 1671.* If so, he must have been kept busily occupied, for in the previous year the duties of this single oificer had been pre- scribed in sufl5cient measure to occupy the time and atten- tion of several persons, f In 1673 he served as a Magistrate in Brooklyn, and perhaps later. J His name and the amount of his property appear in the "Assessment of the real and personal property of the inhabitants of Breucklen, made up on the 20th August, Anno 1675." His estate then was not extensive : " Lambert Janse DoRLA NTT: i poll, 4 cows j^38 8 morgens of land and valley 16 The next year his modest property was still less, from the loss of one cow : "Assessment Roll of Breuckeleu Made Up Septembr 1676 "; *** " Lambert Jansen Dori,ant : I poll, 3 cows /33 8 morg. land & valley t6 49."ll ♦ Lambert Jansk Dorland was prohnblya con.stalile of Brooklyn in 1671.

The nature of the suit is not known, and the case was withdrawn without trial.* On April 4, 1677, we find him signing his name " Lambert DoRLANT " as a witness to a deposition of two Indians, drawn up by Michil Hainelle, Clerk of Brooklyn, attesting the limits of a tract of 930 acres of land sold in 1636 by Sachem Ka to Jacques Bentyn and William Adriense Bennett ; and the incident is noteworthy from the fact that the original transaction in i636isaccouuted the first purchase of property looking to a settlement within tlie present limits of Brooklyn.t , - In 1680 he made application to the Governor of the Colony for a body of land over on Staten Island, J and his wish was promptly granted. A survey of the property was made by order of Governor Audros, and a patent issued in due ccurse.S ♦The eiitiy appears thus on the calendar of cases to be tried at the Court of Session, Tuesday, June 15, 1675 : "Agreed, Rob't Hollis Pl't, I.AMERT Duklan JANSKN Deft."— Col.

Thither IvAmbert seems to have removed in the following year, or the year after, for he does not appear among the residents of Brooklyn in the census of 1683, though his name and his wife's appear on the records of the Reformed Dutch Church of Brooklyn from 1677 to 1683-5. '^n this point we may assume that after their removal to Staten Island they continued their connection with the Brooklyn church. On Staten Island Lambert seems from the first to have attained and occupied a high standing in the regard of the people,* for in less than ten years after his arrival among them he received at their hands the greatest mark of honor they could confer upon one of their fellow-citizens. Early in September, 1691, they chose him as one of the ) Bur- gesses from Richmond County in the Colonial Assembly, upon the death of John Dally, previously elected. On Sep- tember 17 he took his seat, and served with credit during the remainder of that session and through the following .session of 1692. This Assembly, which had met on April 9, was the first in which the popular Representatives of the Province had been convened under the direct authority of the English crown. The members were elected on writs issued by * " The early settlers on Staten Island, though not a literary, were a pious people ; the greatest part of them were able to read and write, as the Dutch family lliMes, and the l>eautiful chirography in many of them, testify."— Clute's "Annals of Staten Island," 7S.

Governor Sloughter, and the elections were held by the Sheriff of each County on a viva voce vote. The electors were limited to freeholders of at least three months' residence in the electoral districts, and possessed of freeholds worth not less than ^40 each. Lambert Dorlandt's election was effected at a special poll taken in obedience to a writ issued on a warrant signed by the Speaker of the Assembly. The sessions of the Assembly were held in the city of New York, in a rented house or hall not far distant from Fort William Henry, just east of the Battery. At that time the Province was harassed by the anxieties attending its war " against the French and their Indians," known in history as King William's War.* Parties of French and Indians had descended from Canada on their snow-shoes through the unbroken forests in the depth of winter, and, falling upon the exposed settlements, had com- mitted horrible barbarities with torch and tomahawk. Most of the settlers at Schenectady had been massacred, and the few survivors had fled to Albany, whither relief expeditions had been sent. Terror reigned on the western frontier ; men and money were lacking, and the Colony's limited resources were taxed to the utmost ; but the people responded gener- ously to the demands of that crisis. Their Representatives in the Assembly were now endeavoring to provide ways and means of driving back the enemy and of relieving the appre- hension of future attacks. Under these circumstances I,am- BERT's legislative service is of special interest ; and happily ♦Tliis war in America was the result of the war In Hiirope twtwecii England atul I'Vaiite. after the accession of William and Mary to the English throne. The Indians of Canada and Maine aided the French, while the Iroqnoisof New York aided the English. The war la.sted intermittently for 8 years, 16S9-97, and was terminated by the treaty of Ryswick.

On the 8th the Committee reported a satisfac- tory solution of the problems submitted to it, embracing the advancement of the necessary funds from private sources. Thereupon an appropriation was made for the expenses of the last expedition to Albany, amounting to " Nine Hun- dred and Twenty Five Pounds, Two Shillings ;i,id Eleven- pence Farthing," with provision for the reimbursement of those who had advanced the funds, and steps were taken to collect the arrearages and ascertain the debts of the Govern- ment. Next day the Assembly received from the Governor three bills — one for raising and paying 200 men for a new frontier expedition, another for raising 80 men in Ulster and Dutchess County, and another " to restrain and punish Pri- vateers and Pyrates."t These bills were enacted the same day, and it was "ordered that Mr. Renssalaer, Mr. Poland and Mr. Dorland do carry ' ' them up to the Governor and Council. The Governor promptly signed them, and after the customary ceremonies attending their publication, the ♦ One of these adjourtimeiits was in consequence of an event of great moment in the Colony, namely, the arrival in state oi a new Governor.^ It may be realized how on that day the further consideration of perplexing Imsiness was out of the question, without reading lietween the lines of^ this naive memorandum : *^ Die Lunae, 2 ho. P. M. August 29, 1692. "The House lieing met according to Adjournment, did attend their Duties, but the Arrival of his Kxcellency Colonel Benjamin Fletcher, did put .some Stop to their proceeding to Business, and did adjourn till To-morrow 2 o'clock Afternoon." fTlie measures taken in pursuance of this act to .suppress " Pyrates " proved wholly ineffectual. It was l)ecanse the depredations of ■ •■.atcs had l)ecome intol- erable that Governor Bellamont, in 1697, aided by private subscriptions in England, equipped and sent out Capt. William Kidd in the Advrnture Galley to rid the seas of them— with the result, known to every .schoolboy, that Kidd turned pirate himself. 1 86 The Dorland Patnily. Assembly was prorogued.* At the next session I,ambert was succeeded by John Teunissen, a neighbor. On October 12, 1696, IvAmbert and his wife Hbrmina sold their plantation of forty acres in Brooklyn to Jacobus Van Deventer, heretofore mentioned, who resided on it as a tenant and was then one of the Commissioners in Brooklyn to divide the common lands.f Five years later, when the popular ferment due to the lycisler troubles was about subsiding,! representations were made to the British government at home that the agitation was the result of disloyalty on the part of the anti-Leislerians toward King William and an indication of their preference for the Roman Catholic religion. Accordingly a memorial was drawn up and signed by the most prominent Protestant freeholders of the Colony, expressing their loyalty to the crown and refuting the misrepresentations ; and among the signers was Lambert Dori,andt.§ ♦ Tlie simplicity of this Imdy aiicl of those early times is accentuated by the small expense of administration and the slight compensation of the memoers. The Clerk received, as per itemized account rendered, ^38-i4S.-6d., out of which he paid himself, his assistants, the doorkeeper, hall-rent, and several other expenses, for the two sessions of 1691-2. (Journal, i. 23-5.) Members were paid by their constituents. The Burgesses from New York, Westchester, gueens. Kings, Ulster, Richmond, Dutchess, Orange, and the Mauor of Cortlandt received 6 shillings (7s c.) a day for the time of their attendance, which was duly certified by the .Speaker, and the same per diem for their journey to and from New York.

X In consequence of the deposition of James II in England, his Provincial Gov- ernor, Andros, had been overthrown as a tyrant by the infuriated populace of Boston in April, 16S9 ; and Nicholson, Andros's I«ieutenant at New York, fearing a similar uprising, had fled to England. Jacob Leisler, who had been entrusted by the magistrates with the temirorary administration of affairs, thereupon .seized the Fort and took up the reins of government. He levied troops and exercised a general ascentlancy, supported by the lower orders of the population, but bitterly opiiosed as a usuri)er by most of the property-holders. He refused to relinquish his authority upon the arrival.

The cuttings, apparently executed with an edge tool, picture the outline of a ship, with masts and rigging, and spots on the forepart of the hull, evidently made with a round drill. On the highest mast is a flag. On the upper part of the design, between the masts of the vessel, are remains of the initials " L. D." and the figures " 79 ". The in.scriptions are faint in places, owing to the crumbling of the stone. It is believed that the markings were designed to .symbolize his emigration over seas in the Spotted Cow. Many specimens of Lambert's handwriting exist among the old records of New York. The signatures vary in style and composition with their dates. Among the varieties are these: " Lambert Janse Dorrri.ant," " Lamber Dor- RKLANT," " LAMBRRT DorLANT," " LAMBERT DORREWN," and " Lambert Borland" — showing a sort of evolution at successive periods. In the two specimens here given, of 1673 and 1694, it will be observed that the middle name is retained in the first and omitted in the .second — a circum- stance frequently noted in signatures of that epoch.

Little is definitely known of him there,* except his residence and agricultural pursuits, and the fact that about the year 1720 he acquired of his father, either by purchase or inheritance (probably the latter), the title to the 500-acre tract of land whereon he lired, heretofore described, t and which he left to his children. That region was then in a primitive condition, and the facilities for education and religious instruction enjoyed by the settlers were but meagre. Yet it is evident that Gerret JA.N.SE was enabled to rear his children creditably, and to afford them the advantages of a fair education for that day. The old farm-house near Harlingen in which he lived and probably died has already been described, together with the circumstance uf his father's residence with him.

She was born at Brooklyn, was baptized at Flatbush, and died in Northfield Township, Staten Island. The exact dates of hei birth and death have been preserved by her descendants. Only five years of her childhood seem to have been spent in Brooklyn, and the remainder on the beautiful lyovelace estate which her father had acquired on Staten Island. We may picture her in her childhood and early womanhood as an affectionate and dutiful daughter to her parents, and, as a pattern wife and mother, we may consider her identity as happily absorbed in that of her husband and children. Her husband, as her father had been, was a distinguished member of the Colonial Assembly of New York from Rich- mond County, from 1725 to 1737, and was made Judge of the County Court in 1739.

The chain of title to this property extends back to the aboriginal owners. William Ilrittain had obtained it by deed from David Marple and Jane his wife, May 26, 1719; Marple had obtained it by deed from John Morgan, Feb. 11, 1707 ; Morgan from John Callow, May 16, 1699; Callow from William Huntley, Apr. i, 1697 ; Hmitley from Elias Keitch and Mary Moore his wife, l''eb. 8, 1691, as part of a larger tract ; Mary Moore Keitch had inherited it from her father, Nicholas Moore, and Moore had received it from William Penn, Proprietary and Governor in Chief of the Province, as part of a tract of 9,815 acres, by patent, Aug. i, 16S4, on a warrant dated Jan. 5, i6,S2, "following certain Indentures of I^ease and Relea.se bearing date ye 17th & iSth days of Octobr. Ao. Do. 1681 to Nicholas Moore of ye city of Phila., Gent." ,Subseqnently, though the land had already lieen conveyed, William Penn, in pursuance of h'is policy of purchasing the Indian title to the territory embraced in his Province, secured release of the region comprising this tract by the following deed, which is a fair sample of several other Indian deeds of like import covering the .same section of country : " Indian Deed for l,aiids to Wm.

The said Tract lying between the Neshaniinah & Poquessing upon the River Delaware and e.xtending backwards to the utmo.st bounds of the said Province."— Pa. Arch., ist .sen, i, 116. The 9.815 acre tract was callefl the Manor of Moreland in honor of the patentee, who was Penn's first Chief Justice in the Province, and President of the Free Society of Traders. It lies about 15 miles 11. e. of the city of Phila., and was in the form of a rectangle about 6 miles long and 3 wide, with a tongue or neck extend- ing from the southern corner. When Montgomery and llncks Cos. wei'e erected from Phila. Co., the rectangular portion was ab.sorbed in the new Countie.s, while the projecting strip, comprising 3,700 acres, was left with Phila. Co., to constitute Moreland Twp. in Phila. Co. JOHN Dorla.ndt's farm was in the portion transferred to Montgomery Co. At the s. w. end is the popular summer re.sort, Willow Grove. The Pennypack Creek flows .southward from the middle of the tract, and the Poquessing Creek rises in the eastern strip and flows s. e. to the Delaware with a coinpanion, the famous Ne.shaininy Creek, 3 miles east and parallel. From the hill of Hor.seheaven, near Willow Grove, on the east side of the York Road, can be .seen Valley Forge, Gerniantown. Trenton, and Whiteniarsh. The old York Road and the County I,ine Road, running to Moreland from the city, were laid out in 1697. The first settlement in the Manor was by Moore himself, in 1685, at the eastern projection, near the present village of Somerton (formerly ,Smithneld). See Schart and West- colt'.s " History of Phila.," i, 119, 1,^9, and Bean's " HLstory of Montgomery Co." (Pa.), 975. It is probable that John Dorlandt, in journeying from Staten Island to More- land Manor, followed the old turnpike that ran from Klizabeth, N. J., to Railway, New Urnnswick, Ten Mile Run, and Trenton, thence across the Delaware to Mor- risvillc. Pa.,— possibly visiting his brother Gekret Janse in ,Somerset Co., N. J., on the way. Many other families well known on I^oiig Island, ,Staten Islantl, and in New Jersey, came to Phila. and bucks Cos., before the Revolution : the I^efferts, Van Arsdaletis, Van.sanls, Hennets, Vandevanters, Dungans, Vanderbilts, Laz- zcleres, Seubriugs, Hagemans, Vauhorns, WiUets, Hooglands, Van Pelts, Van Dykes, etc. John. 235 property is mentioned in an old official docnment of the year 1734.* The life of the family in that beautiful region seems to have run along uneventfully in the quiet simplicity that characterized the Colony of Penn, save as the home circle was broken from time to time by the successive marriages and departure of the sons and daughters. All the children received a fair education. On December 12, 1746, he and his wife Barbara sold the farm to Joshua Morris, of Abington.f and on November 20, 1749, purchased a smaller tract of twenty-seven acres in IvOwer Dublin Township, near by. % He was about sixty- nine years of age at this date, and it may be inferred that the management of the large farm had become irksome, and *The Historical Society of Penna. possesses an original Ms. jirepared by John Hyatt and addressed " To the Hoiiohle. Tlionias Penn Esqr. I'roprietor of the Prov- ince of Pennsilvania," containing "A lyist of the Names of the Inhabitants of the Co. of Phila., with the quantity of I..and they respectively hold therein according to the uncertaine returns of the Coi;stable, Anno Doni. ip4." In this is given a rongh approximation of the lands held by the freeholders in each twp., and nnder " Morland Mannor " 71 taxables are noted— 43 land-holders and 2S tenants. Of the land-holder.", John Dorland is mentioned as having 200 acres— inidoubtedly the 210-acre tract. The primitive condition of Penn's Colony and city at this period is apparent from the record that in the year 1734 there were in the city only 1,35.5 taxables, in- clnding single men, jonrneymen, and housekeepers, and in the County outside only 3,6H,S. The city was supposed to have i,.50o houses aiui 13,000 peojile. Jree Schaff and Wcstcott's " Philadelphia," i, 2ix) ; "Collections of the Penna. Ili.st.

This tract is described in the old surveys as beinf^ in the " \\\% I^ick Woods," and the broken region tliereabout is still known as the I^ick kidKcs. Some time iK'fore the middle of the following year, 1792. he removed with his family to the little town of Huntingdon, about 5 miles from this land. His atten- tion was probably called to that .settlement by the residence there, previously, of his Aunt Hkrmina, with whom it seems he was the favorite nephew. The town had been founded in 1767 by Rev. Dr. William Smith, of Phila., first Provost of the Inivensityof Penna., on the site of the Standing Stone tract, so called from the ancient Indian pillar which stood on the north bank of the JnniatR River— the name of the river in the Irotpiois tongue sijiiiifying " Standing Stone," A fort had been built by i)ioueer settlers before 175S within the limits of the town, calk'd l'*ort Standing Stone, and the town for .several decades was also known as Standing Stone, or Juniata, although Dr. Smith had christened it Huntift^don, in honor of Selina Hastings, Counle.ss of Huntingdon, in Kngland, who had liberally contributed funds toward the improvement of the University. Until 17H7 Hedford Co, included all of Penna. west of Cumberland Co., but in 17H7 the Co. of Hunting- don, taking its name from the town, was erected from Hedford. In 1796 the settle- ment was incoriKirated as a borough, and has since been known only as Hunting- don. It now has a population of 7.o-«4). )yfr, of liy deed Patrick CaSI'KR i, U 32- LANU " printer central tiver in 14 acres 15 lieinK n as the vith his is attcn- msly, of la., first io called Jnniata Stone." le town, iiown as ij-ilon, in iberally lied ford lunting- ic scttle- luiilin}?- ntinK in Valley.

He had previously advanced to his son JosiUMi by ^ift a tiirm of 2ik) acres, whereon Joskimi lived, near the liomstead.
