     58. CHRISTOPHER HOAGLAND, son of Christopher (17), was born about 1746. His father had bought property in Franklin township, Somerset County, N. J., about the year 1740, but does not seem to have been a permanent resident. At any rate he was at Flatlands in 1765, and died there in the early part of 1766. By his will he left all his real and personal estate (except small legacies) to his son Christopher, who very evidently was not yet of age. His son Christopher, the subject of our sketch, soon after the death of his father, removed to Somerset County, N. J., locating his home on the South Branch of the Rahway [SIC, should be "Raritan"] River, in Hillsborough township, on the

road from the village of South Branch to Flaggstown. His farm joined the farms of his uncles, Martinus (21) and Harmanus (24). He married Maria,⁹⁸ daughter of George and Maria Bergen.⁹⁹ She was born April 1, 1749. He (Christopher) died 1822. His will¹⁰⁰ mentions his wife and four

                 CHILDREN.

Voorhis, of Flatlands.⁴⁸ She was born about 1704, and probably died before 1745.⁴⁹ This Christopher Hooglandt appears to have bought land in the township of Franklin, Somerset County, N. J., about 1740, but did not settle there, as is evident from his will.⁵⁰ (His brothers, Gerrit, Martinus, Elbert and Harmanus, went there, however.)

It is more than probable that after the death of his wife, Neeltie, he again married, since we find a Christopher Hooglandt and his wife Janetje Vechten⁵¹ have a daughter Neeltie baptized at Staten Island April 26, 1748.

     ⁵⁰The will of Christoffel Hoghland, of Flatlands, is dated Dec. 24, 1765, and was proved April 28, 1766. It makes bequests of £80 in money to his daughter Sarah, wife of Jeremiah Williamson; "to his sister Helena his part of the negro wench fillis, which is now in the actual possession of myself and my father, Harmanus Hoogland;" and to his son Christopher his real and personal estate. Jan Ammerman, Gerrit Kouwenhoven and Albert Stoothoff are witnesses, and Wilhelmus Stoothoff and Helena Hooglant, executors. Vide, New York Wills, xxv., 312.

Samuel, Margaret and Annie Van Horn, had a suit pending against George Bergen, in which they claimed £4 damages.

He finally settled on a farm at New Windsor, near Cranberry, Middlesex county N. J. His will is dated Oct. 7th, 1784, and recorded in lib. 26, p. 284, etc., in the office of the secretary of state in New Jersey, and proved at Princeton, Oct. 20th, 1784, his sons John and Jacob being executors.

A "Jores Bergen," was a communicant of the Harlington Reformed Dutch Church of New Jersey at an early period; and a "George Bergen" a member of the congregation of the Neshanic Reformed Dutch Church of New Jersey at its beginning in 1752, (as per the Rev. Dr. Messler's notes to his Memorial Sermons, pp. 250, 270), who was probably this Jores Bergen.

     ³⁴On June 20, 1704, Harmanus Hooglandt, of Kings County, buys from Aerent Schuyler and Saratje, his wife, lots 28 and 30, at Gravesend, near Flatlands, each lot containing about 25 acres, adjoining land belonging to John Lucasse, Jr. Consideration £200. Vide, Brooklyn Rec., vol. iii., p. 1.
     Two years later (1706) Harmanus Hoogland was collector of taxes, and assessed for ten acres of land.
     On Nov. 1, 1707, Arent Schuyler and wife convey to Harmanus Hoogland and Arianke, his wife, certain lands (about 70 acres) in Flatlands, "now in possession of said Harmanus Hoogland, part whereof of said house, lands, meadows and premises descended to Alyday, late the wife of said Harmanus Hoogland, from her father, John Van Duckhuys, deceased." This deed also shows that the wife of Schuyler and Anneke, the deceased wife of John Lucasse, were also children of said Van Dyck. Land of Derrick Longstreet also is mentioned here.

Bergen's Early Settlers has 6 Aug 1686²) in New York, New York. According to Carpenter's The Hoagland Family, Adriana died in Flatlands, Long Island, New York on 18 Aug 1761; ^1,10,28,29 she was 75;  in Early Settlers, T.G. Bergen states that Adriana died before 1735.^2,24 Religion: Dutch Reformed Church. Alias/AKA: Arinthe, Adrianna,² or Arianke.

Teunis G. Bergen, in his Register of the Early Settlers of Kings County, Long Island New York (hereinafter referred to simply as Early Settlers), published in 1881, refers to her on p.285 as "Arinthe or Adrianna, b. Aug. 6, 1686, d. prior to 1735."²

From "The Kouwenhoven, Stoothoff and Verbryck Descendants of Aeltie Cornelise Cool," the private research of Richard A. McCool, June A. McCowan & Dorothea E. McCowan:¹⁷

4-029. Arintie(4), or Adrianna, Stoothoff, stated by Honeyman to have been baptized 6 August 1686 and to have died before 1735. Perhaps the Adrianna baptized in 1686 is the first of this name in this family group, who, having died in infancy, is succeeded by a sister of the same name, born in 1687. Record exists of an Adrianna Stoothoff, born 11 January 1687, died 18 August 1761, who married 20 June 1707 Harmanus Hoagland, born 18 February 1681, son of Christoffel Hoagland and Catherine Cregier.^28,29 Harmanus Hoagland was married first to Alida Jansz Van Dyck and married second in 1707 Adrianna Stoothoff.³² Honeyman offers no explanation for his statement that Adrianna Stoothoff died before 1735, though this is likely a reference to the indemnity bond regarding the suit for Bergen's Island, for she is not included. The issue of Adrianna(4) Stoothoff and Harmanus Hoagland are given as: Christopher(5) Hoagland and Alida(5) Hoagland, no stats, married Jacobus Van Arsdale. Christopher(5) Hoagland, born 2 April 1708, died at Flatlands, Brooklyn 18 January 1766, married Neeltje Voorhees, daughter of Albert Coerten Van Voorhees and Sarah Willemse Cornell.³⁰ Other Hoaglands, probably additional children to those mentioned by Honeyman, are also parties to the Bergen's Island suit, to wit: Martinus Hooghland, Gerrit Hooghland, Heeleena Hooghland, Elbert Hooghland and Harmanus Hooghland (perhaps the husband). Christoffel, or Christopher(5) is mentioned, but not Alida(5).

April 15, 1706, a "Yan Bergen" paid Flatlands Church 6 guilders for the use of the pall, who may have been Hans Jorise.

Jan. 28, 1722-3, Hans Jorise Bergen and "Seytie" his wife, for £172, conveyed to Cornelius Ewerrse, of Brooklyn ferry, "all the full moiety or half part of that Land,

In 1703 he resided in Flatlands, in which year his name appears in the lists of those who took the oath of allegiance as "Evert Janssen Van Wickalen." Some of his descendaots reside in New Lots and Jamaica South. May 29, 1703, Gerardus Beekman, Leffert Pieterse and "Evert Van Wyckelyn," of Kings county, for £200 bought of Thomas Cardal, of Jamaica, Queens county, 450 acres on the Raritan river in Middlesex county, New Jersey (see lib. 1, p. 425, of deeds in office of secretary of state, New Jersey).

      ¹Aerv Aersen was a son of Jan Aersen Middagh of the ferry, which Jan was bap. Dec. 24, 1662, d. prior to 1710, m. (1st), Ariaantje Bleyck, dau. of Cornelis de Potter and Swantje Jans, widow of Johannes Nevius, of the ferry, who she m. Nov. 18, 1653. Jan Aersen was a son of Aert Anthonize Middagh and Breckje Hansen Bergen. Aert Aersen m. Lysbeth or Elizabeth (???).

      De Potter bought Jan. 4, 1652, of Jan Haes, his patent of 38 morgenis and 485 rods, dated April 2, 1647 (sec vol. ??. p. 99? of Dutch Manuscripts, office secretary state, Albany). By the will of Swantje Jans, widow of de Potter (see lib. 1, pp. 77, 208, 220, office register Kings county), it appears that Arlaentje Bleyck was the only child of de Potter, and from her Aert Aersen, her son, probably inherited his share of the mill property. Jan Haes was a cooper by trade, in this country, as early as Nov., 1641, served as a soldier in 1645, and m. the widow of Edward Fiscock, who appears to have had possession of the premises covered by Haes patest.

      This mill was probably built about 1710, for May 15, of that year, "Aert Arrison" and others petitioned the colonial authorities for liberty to erect a mill on their land, in Kings county, at or acar a place called Jan Martyn's Hook or Wallaboght. (Land Papers, vol. v, p. 64, office secretary state, Albany.)

      ²See lib. 4, pp. 309 and 336 of conveyances in Kings county register's office. The mill was located on the land now occupied by the United States Navy Yard. Marty's or Martyne's Hools was the point of Brooklyn formed by the
[footnote cont'd. on page 397]:
Wallabout bay, west of the Navy Yard, and opposite to Corlear's Hook in the city of New York.

      A natural pond in the marsh with a short dam formed the mill pond, and the mill was afterwards known as Remsen's mill at the Wallabout. The mill pond was filled up in 1826, in consequence of its becoming a nuisance.
