THREE articles, in relation to the Schuremans of New Jersey, were prepared by the present writer, in the year 1879, at the request of the editor of the New Brunswick Times, and they appeared in that journal. They were subsequently printed, in pamphlet form, in California. Thus the subject was revived, and, at the expense of Mr. Melanchthon Freeman Schureman, of Metuchen, New Jersey, a larger pamphlet was published. Much of the information it con- tained was at second hand, and an examination of some original rec- ords revealed serious errors. Recourse was then had to all original records that were accessible, and an extensive correspondence was had with members of the family, and this book is the outcome of such research and correspondence. Four portraits are given in this work. That of James Schureman naturally appears, for he was the most conspicuous of the family in public life, and one of his wife is given in connection with his. None is extant of Jacobus, the founder of the family, nor of his sons, John and Ferdinand. Melanchthon Freeman Schureman's is given, as that of a representative man, and because his interest and liber- ality made the publication of the first edition possible. The Com- piler gives his own, from the consideration that persons who care for the book would like to see the face of one whose interest in the subject, and whose patient enterprise, have resulted in the gathering of the material, and framing it into this genealogy. Brooklyn, N. Y., January, 1902. 17 INTRODUCTION. THIS book relates to Jacobus Schuurman, of the neighborhood of New Brunswick, New Jersey, 1720, and his descendants. The pronunciation of the name has been, always, Skureman : the spelling, in the older Dutch, was u e r, which was changed to u u r J and the name appears in Utrecht, Netherlands, with that spelling, at the present time. The name of Jacobus appears with the duplicate u ; and his son John was persistent in that spelling, to the time of his death, 1795 ; but James, son of John, gave up the struggle, and allowed his name to be Anglicized, by the use of ur e. A letter is in existence, from James Schureman to John Schuur- man, in which the former uses the English spelling, but conforms to the Dutch, in writing his father's name. In Germany, about the year 1300, appears Hermann Scureman, who held in fee a hide of land at Scheuren, near Dortmund, Ams- berg, Westphalia. Later on, Johann Schuremann held the same, and other possessions. In 137 1, at Arnsberg, Johann Schuyrmann was enfeoffed of various lands, among them the " Manse at Hol- land," for himself, as well as for his brothers, Everhard and Hinrich. From this line was descended the famous Anna Maria Schuerman, distinguished as a linguist, scholar, theologian, and accomplished woman.* The shield of this family was of Norman shape, argent, party per pale, with a label in chief, a fillet with four pendant points : /. e., it was a white, oval shield, with two horns and a peak at the top, and divided by a perpendicular line. The fillet and pendants indicate that it was the shield of the eldest son — not of the hoad of the family. Descent from this line is not claimed, for it has not been traced. The name in this line is found also at Antwerp, Cologne, and Utrecht.

Fahne. 19 20 SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY Schurman, with his wife, who was of the family of the Barons of Lumey, Counts of la Marck, left Antwerp for Cologne, abandoning position and property, rather than give up his evangelical faith. On that day, the Duchess of Parma, Regent of the Netherlands, had caused to be stabbed and burnt, Christopher Smith, known as the Monk Fabricius, from the monastery at Bruges. Frederich, their son, in 1602, married Eva von Harf, of a noble family of Cologne. They had four children, the youngest of whom, Wilhelm, died in his sixth year. The eldest was Heinrich Frederich, born 1603, died 1632. The second, Johann Gottschalk, was born in 1605, and died in 1664. He was an evangelical minister, and was carried by his zeal into Germany, and in 1661-62 to Basle, Switzerland, but re- turned to Utrecht. Anna Maria was born the 5th of November, 1607, and died single, in 1678, at Wieuward, in Friesland, as a member of the Labadist community. Her father had died in 1623, and the mother removed the family to Utrecht, probably, because of the Thirty Years' War, which was devastating Germany. Anna had, at Utrecht, an elegant cabinet — edel pattd— which, was the resort of the learned and titled persons of Europe. The affianced Queen of Poland, Louise Marie Gonzaga, with an escort, called informally upon her ; and, in conversation, she responded in Italian to the Bishop of Orange ; in French to the Queen's secretary ; in Greek to M. Corrade, the Queen's physician ; and she carried on a dis- cussion on some point in theology, in the Latin tongue. It has not been ascertained whether either of her brothers was married.* In the United States of America, there is a line of Schuremans, earlier than the one which is the subject of this work. They are assumed to be descendants of Harmen Schuerman ; of whom the record following is found : — " 1649, June 3. Release of Harman Scheurman of all claim against Cornelis Maerson, deceased, on account of the purchase of a tract of land on Manhattan Island." f The correct spelling of this grantor's name would have been Harmen Schuerman. His children seem to have been known, at first, as Harmenzen ; and * Rise of the Dutch Republic, vol. i, pp. 448-450 : Liberators of Holland, pp. 169-184: A.

They had children baptized, 1659-74. The name appears, later, at New Rochelle ; from which place members of the family migrated to St. John, New Brunswick, in 1783, and thence spread into Prince Edward Island in 1784, in the person of William, who had married Jane Bonnet, in 1768, and from them is descended Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, President of Cornell University. The British Provincials, of the new residence of the Schuermans, were ignorant of the Dutch language : and the e was dropped from the name, and the pronunciation was softened into Shureman.* * See New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. xxi., pp. 61-64 : vol. xxiv., pp. 132-142 : vol. xxv., pp. 82-89. Schuremans of New Jersey. FAMILY I. I. Jacobus Schuurman : married Antje Terheun. He settled at Three Mile Run, near New Brunswick, New Jersey ; and, no doubt, he and his wife were members of the Dutch Church at Three Mile Run, and the record of baptism of their children was there probably, and the burying-place of that church is supposed to have received their bodies. The wife Antje was daughter of Albert Terheun, of Flatbush, L. I. ; and the marriage was in 1720, or early in 172 1, He was a schoolmaster, and voorleser, or prelector, and came, as such, in the company of Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Frielinghuysen, on the ship King George, Capt. Goelet. The latter preached in New York, 17th January, 1720 ; the arrival was, therefore, in that year, or late in the year previous. He entered at once on the duries of his pastorate over the churches on the Raritan, to which he had been appointed while he was in Holland, and settled down at Three Mile Run, and married Eve Terheun, sister to the wife of Schuurman. The Church at Raritan was organized in 1696 ; the one at Three Mile Run about the year 1703 ; and the one at New Brunswick, known as the " Church of Laurenz Brook by the River," in the year 1717. The organization at Three Mile Run was abandoned about the year 1753.* No records of this church are in existence, except possibly incorporated with those of New Brunswick. The eariy records of the Six Mile Run church perished in the fire which consumed the house of David Nevius, (18). Frielinghuysen and Schuurman lived with Hendrick Reinersz. They settled nea r the small church building, then standing at Three * Annals of Amer.

" Jacobus Schuurman " was received to church membership, on confession, the 15th of April 1720. He had some facility in writing Dutch verse, which he used in the defense of his pastor, from worldly attacks. He was chorister, and taught a school in the Dutch lan- guage.* Schuurman's first child, Ann, was born 10, Oct., 1721, if the statement of her age, and the date of her death, upon her tomb- stone, are correct. He had a child baptized 4, Apl., 1735, after which his name is not found ; unless he was the " Jacob Schuurman," who had a daughter, Maria, baptized 13th Jan., 1755. The mother's name was Maria. She was, probably, a Van Voorhees. f But this Jacob may have been son of Jacobus : the record of births and baptisms of the children of the latter is incomplete ; probably some of the baptisms were recorded at Three Mile Run, or Six Mile Run, now called Franklin Park. Children, (all born at Three Mile Run, probably) : 2. Anne", b. 10, October, 1721, for the inscription upon her tombstone, in the yard of the First Dutch Church at New Brunswick, N. J., reads : " In memory of Ann Schureman who departed this life. May 25, 1800, aged 78 yrs, 7 mos, 15 days." This stone stands beside that of the widow of her brother Ferdinand. She was often a baptismal witness. (This inscription was copied, and was given to the Compiler, by Mrs. Sluyter, as if it were that of her grand- mother, Ann, wife of John Schuurman. Hence the error in the first edition of this genealogy.) 3. Jacoba, baptized 2, February, 1724: t died before 1760 : she was first wife of Archibald Thomson. Family 2. 4.

She was admitted to church membership, the 9, November, 1750, as the wife of Archibald Thomson, who had been admitted, on confession, 10, August, 1741. He was of Scotch blood, and was, probably, of the Perth Amboy line. Perhaps he was son of John, a schoolmaster and resident of New Brunswick who was named in the will of his father, John, dated 24, June, 1732 the executors of which qualified 4, October, 1733. The will di rected the burial of his body in the church grounds at Piscataway, It mentioned also the testator's wife, Mary, and his son, Benjamin then in Dublin, Ireland.* Persistent efforts have been made, with- out success, to determine the ancestry of this Archibald, f Children, (all born at New Brunswick) : 9.

Their children were : Archibald A., the eldest, probably, who married 19, March, 1795, Mary Bordine, and died in 1856 : Janitje, baptized 9, August, 1761 : Jacoba, baptized 16, July, 1763 : Janitje, baptized 19, May, 1765 : Jacobus, baptized 3, May, 1767 : and Pieter, baptized 20, May, 1770. The Manual of the Re- formed Dutch Church, 1879, — article "Rev. Frederick Bordine Thomson," says that Elizabeth was sister of Rev. Peter Strycker : but Peter was born 23, December, 1763, baptized 25, December, New Brunswick, and if he had a sister Elizabeth she was, probably, too young to be married in 1760. The only Elizabeth found within a probable period, was baptized 16, July, 1727, New Brunswick, who would have been aged 2>Zi ^t the time of Archibald's second mar- riage. Rev. Frederick Bordine Thomson, son of Archibald A., married Catharine V. VVyckoff, and had a daughter, Helen Maria, who mar- ried Rev. Matthew Newkirk Oliver, of Clover Hill and Tappan. Frederick's second wife, Emma Cecilia Combe, left a daughter Emma, afterwards widow of Rev. Louis Germond, pastor of the Reformed Church of Latry, Vaud, Switzerland.

John Schuurman [5], (Jacobus'), born 27, February, 1729 : died 6, July, 1795 • married February, 1751, Antje De Riemer. His tomb- stone, at the rear of the First Dutch Church, New Brunswick, reads : Died July 6, 1795, aged dd years, 4 months, and 9 days : his birth, therefore, must have been as here given. He maintained the spelling with a duplicate u and an r, and a letter is in existence, dated ist December 1790, addressed to him as " John> Schuurman EsqV' by his son James, who signed himself " J= Schureman," with the Anglicized spelling. Antje De Riemer was daughter of Isaac and Antje (Woertman) De Riemer, and was baptized at New York City, 4, October, 1721, and she died in the year 1800. She was received to church mem- bership at New Brunswick, on confession, 9, October, 1750, as the widow {wedeuwe) of Peter Stryker. The marriage bond, at Trenton, for her second marriage, reads 22 February, 1750, ac- cording to the legal calendar — meaning, in popular usage, 1751. Her Will, as widow of John Schureman, of New Brunswick, was dated 16, October, 1795, and proved 23, July, 1800, and is of record at Trenton. She directed the division of her estate between her daughters, Ann Van " Duersen," wife of William ; Jane Thomson, wife of John ; Elizabeth Nevius, wife of David ; her son, James Schure- * Records of the Dutch Church, N.

After the death of Margaret Schuurman, Vredenburgh married Elizabeth Fisher, who had eleven children, one of whom, John S., was probably the person who, with his wife, Sarah Taylor, was received to church membership at New Bruns- wick, 22, October, 1796. I SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY 27 man ; and her grandsons, John and Peter Vredenburgh, children of her daughter Margaret, deceased. On the 2nd of May, 1803, William Van Deursen and James Schureman, of the City of New Brunswick, and John Thomson, of the State of New York, as executors, con- veyed to Johanna Dumont, a house and lot on the southerly side of New Street.* John Schuurman settled in New Brunswick, where he had a store- house on the Raritan River, at the foot of Dutch, now Schureman Street. It does not appear when he left Three Mile Run. A map, made in 1766, has John Schureman's name on the north side of the road, half-way between Middlebush and Millstone : but he may have owned without occupying that land. He was admitted to church membership at New Brunswick, 2, November, 1752, and was chosen Deacon, along with Archibald Thomson, 25, October, 1754. Their successors were chosen, 13, April, 1757. The churches of the Raritan group had been in- corporated, 7, June, 1753- The church building, which was then standing, at the corner of Burnett and Dutch Streets, had been erected about 1714 : and, in 17 17, it was determined that it should be " known as belonging to the people of Laurenz Brook by the River " : and that the people of Six Mile Run and Ten Mile Run, who were but one congregation, should be at liberty to erect a church building at either place, and to have their own consistory : but they were to remain one spiritual body with the one of Laurenz Brook : and the two consistories were to meet as one, on matters of importance. John Schuurman was an Elder of the church in 1765, and was ap- pointed chairman of the building committee in September of that year. The new building was erected in a new location, and was occupied in the autumn of 1767. The old lot was sold to John Schuurman. He was Elder again in 1 793, and on the 24th of August, he signed the call for Rev. Dr. Ira Condict, and he headed the sub- scription list. His successor in the eldership, Peter Vredenburgh, Sen., was chosen 5, April, 1795- " I" the church he was conspicuous for an unaffected piety, fervent zeal, and fruitful benevolence, t He was a subscriber, 6, March, 1 77 7, to the fund to meet the last payment on the parsonage at Millsto ne, and his subscription was * New Brunswick, Book 5, p. 237.

He was Trustee of the College, 1782-95, and its Treasurer 1780-90, 1791-95- In the minutes, his name, as well as that of his son James, appears with the duplicated u and the r, without an e. And in the minutes of the Consistory his name is spelled the same way, 12, March, 1794, 5, April, 1795, and 2, May, 1795. John Schuurman was active and influential in the Revolutionary struggle. A few of the freeholders of Middlesex County met, at the Court-House, New Brunswick, 3, January, 1775, in pursuance of a notice of the 20 of December. They agreed that cities, towns, and districts should each choose a Committee of Observation and Inspec- tion, who should meet at New Brunswick, 16, January, and choose a Committee of Correspondence, for a limited period. John and Fer- dinand Schureman, from New Brunswick, David Williamson from South Brunswick, and Jonathan Combs from Windsor, were of the Committee of Observation : and Jonathan Combs and David Will- iamson were of the Committee of Correspondence. A Provincial Congress assembled at Trenton, 23, May, 1775. Among the depu- ties were Col. John Schureman and Col. David Williamson, who were members also of the Provincial House of Assembly. A Provin- cial Convention had met at New Brunswick 21-23, July, 1774, and had appointed a general Committee of Correspondence for the whole Province, with authority to call a Provincial Congress, whenever they should think it necessary. News of the Battle of Lexington had been received, 24, April, and on 2, May, the Committee had met at New Brunswick, and called the Congress. On the 3, June, the Con- gress adjourned to the 5, August, after having appointed a Committee of Correspondence, with authority to reconvene the Congress : John Schureman was of this committee. The Congress reassembled on 5, August, and Lucas Schenck appeared in place of David Williamson. They provided for the election of deputies, on 21, September, to a Provincial Congress to be held at Trenton, on the 3, October. On the 17, August, the Congress adjourned to the 20, September, after having appointed a Committee of Safety, to exercise their powers during the recess : John Schureman was of this Committee of Safety. The Congress met, pursuant to adjournment, 20, September. The new Congress met 3-25, October. It was the policy of the times to change the deputies frequently ; partly to extend the responsibility, * Historical Discourse, Millstone, t Manual of the Reformed Church. SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY 29 and partly to prevent engrossment of power by a few persons.

He was described as of Griggstown, Somerset County, cordwainer, in a deed dated 22, April, 1760, whereby he conveyed to Bamardus Gerritsen land at Middlebush, bounded on two sides by other land of Ferdi- nand.* He had five children, whose baptisms were recorded at Six Mile Run, 1754-63, and three at New Brunswick, 1766-72. He was an Elder of the Dutch Church at New Brunswick, 12, September, 1765, when Philip French conveyed the land for a new church. He was probably a member of the Six Mile Run Church until about 1764. He took a determined part in the Revolutionary struggle, as well as his brother John. The freeholders of Middlesex County, who met at New Brunswick, 3, January, 1775, chose him as one of the Com- mittee of Observation and Inspection for New Brunswick, who should meet with the others at New Brunswick, 16, January, to choose a Committee of Correspondence for a limited time.f His widow, ** Neeltje Schuurman, widow of Ferdinant Schuur- man," was received to church membership, on confession, 28, June, 1782.

If so, he must have been exchanged very soon, for in the same year, or early in the one following, he was captured, along with his cousin, James Schureman [16], at Laurenz Brook, and was con- fined in the Sugar-House prison.

William and Antje (Stryker) Van Deursen had a son Staats (Stawts or Stahts), /baptized 13, June, 1773, New Brunswick; graduated at Queens College, 1791 ; married Joanna Schuyler, (see note to Family 9,) daughter of Abraham and Alida (Voorhees) Schuyler, and had a son WiUiam, the well-known physician, of New Brunswick, who married Eleanor Hendrickson. Eleanor's brother, Charles I., married Julia Schureman, No. 172. Joanna Schuyler's sister, Christina, married Peter Thomson, No. 27. Jacobus Stryker, b. 24, Aug., 1688, third son — the second died in infancy — of Pieter Janse and Annetje Barends, is supposed to have married Annetje Vanderbeek 17, December, 17 10. He re- moved from Flatbush, to Somerset County, N. J., and settled on land on Millstone River, purchased by his father. He is supposed to be the Jacob whose children were baptized at New Brunswick, with the mother's name Jannetje, namely : Jan., 12, June, 1720 ; Jacobus, 23, May, 1725 ; and Lisabeth, 16, July, 1727. (This Elizabeth may have been the second wife of Archibald Thomson.)

These prisoners escaped, soon after, and joined the American Army at Morris Plains.* The Captain's daughter, Jane, had married Conrad Ten Eyck, somewhere between 1790 and 1796, and they were living at Schenec- tady, where Ten Eyck was tutor in the High School. The Captain bought land at Aalplaats (Eel place), four miles from Schenectady; but did not remove to it at once, because he had not yet disposed of his land in New Jersey. This land, in New York, was occupied, in the summer of 1798, by John Thomson and wife, and Eliza Thom- son, children of the Captain. The Captain, and the remainder of his family, took possession in the autumn. This land must then have been included in Albany County, for the Captain is described, in a deed in 1801, as of Albany County. In February, 1802, he re- moved to land that he had purchased at Fonda's Bosch (woods), now Broadalbin (Breadalbane), Fulton County, some twenty miles from Schenectady, where he probably died. This land was on the east side of Fonda's Brook, about two miles from the Bosch. A stream of water ran through the land, on which he erected a saw- mill, lime-kiln, and grist-mill: the last became a paper-mill, and was consumed by fire. The Captain became financially embarrassed, and his health was poor, and his son-in-law, Rev. Dr. Perrine, bought the land, but allowed the Captain to occupy it, and his son, Isaac S., afterwards. The latter long afterwards bought the land, and, after him, it was occupied by his son, Samuel B. Thomson. The Captain's widow was living at Auburn, in February, 1827, with her daughter, Mrs. Perrine, and there Mrs. Catharine (Schure- man) Wynkoop [51] called upon her, and wrote of her as "Aunt Jane," that is, half-sister of her father. She died at Broadalbin, where she had been living with her son Isaac. The Captain and his wife, in 1801, made two deeds of land in New Brunswick. f Children, (all born at New Brunswick): 27.

Eleanor's parents were members of the Presbyterian church at Cranberry, New Jersey : and her father kept the stage-house at Rhode Hall, near Cranberry. He owned two thousand acres of land, and was known as " King David," or, more properly, as Landgrave, according to the New Bruswick Fredotitan, of 15, August, 1885. Fatroon, seems to be more probable. Eleanor's grandparents, WilHam and Jannetje Wil- liamson were members of the church at Cranberry, and the former was an elder. William Williamson, uncle to Eleanor, had a daughter Mary, who married John Christopher Kocks. The Schuyler an- cestry of Eleanor was as follows : Pieter Schuyler and Catrina Buyck ; David Schuyler and Catalyn Verplanck ; Abraham Schuyler and Gertrude Ten Broeck ; Abraham Schuyler and Catrina Staats ; Eleanor Schuyler and David Williamson. Eleanor's sister, Maria, married George Thomson [10] : Jane Maria married John Voorhees : 36 SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY He was graduated at Queens College, now Rutgers, and his name appears in the Catalogue in the lustrum 1771-75. Dr. Steele says that his graduation was about 1773, and that he was an accurate scholar.* The Committee of Safety of New Jersey, on the 10, January, 1776, appointed him Second Lieutenant, in Captain John Taylor's Company, in Col. John Neilson's battalion of minutemen.f The Provincial Congress of New Jersey, adopted an ordinance, on the 29th February, 1776, directing the incorporation of the minute- men into the militia companies of the districts in which they resided, respectively. This was because of the depletion of the ranks of the minutemen, by enlistments into the Continental service. J The records of the Adjutant-General's Office, Trenton, show that Schureman was a Second Lieutenant in the 2d Regiment of militia, Middlesex County, but do not give the date of appointment. John Neilson was colonel of this regiment. § On the 14th June, 1776, Schureman was appointed Lieutenant in Col. David Forman's Battalion, of Gen. Nathaniel Heard's Brigade of Jerseymen, known as " new levies," or " five-months-men." It seems that there were ensigns but no second-lieutenants in this or- ganization. As Schureman is called " captain," by Dr. Steele, and by the Cydopcedia of American Biography, it is probable that he was at some time in command of the company, and so obtained the title, by courtesy. Dr. Steele says further that it was chiefly owing to his example, and his pleadings at public meetings, that the com- pany, to which he belonged, was formed at New Brunswick, and that they served with great credit in the Battle of Long Island. || An effort was made, by the compiler of this genealogy, to trace the services of this company, battalion, and brigade, and the result will be given here. Catharine married John Perrine : and Lydia married Stephen Johnes. Her aunts married as follows : Mary, Matthew La Rue ; and Catharine, John Voorhees : and her uncle, Abraham Schuyler, Judge, married Alechi (or Alida) Voorhees, and had children, as follows : Alida, married to Andrew Ten Eyck ; Ellen, married to John Clarke ; Christina, married to Peter Thomson [27] ; Joanna, mar- ried to Staats Van Deursen ; Abraham, who died unmarried ; and Catharine, married to Lyell. * Historical Discourse, New Brunswick, 1867, Steele, p. 68. f Minutes of Provincial Congress and Committee of Safety, N. y., P- 329-, X History of Monmouth County, p. 135. § History of Union and Middlesex Counties. \ Historical Discourse, New Brunswick, 1867, p, 68, SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY zi The Continental Congress, on the 3rd of June, 1776, called for thirteen thousand eight hundred men, of which the contingent from New Jersey would be thirty-three hundred men, to re-enforce the army in New York, and to serve until the first day of December. The Provincial Congress of New Jersey, on the 14th of June, de- termined that its quota should be raised by voluntary enlistment, in one brigade of five battalions, to consist of forty companies of seventy-eight men each. Forman's Battalion had Thomas Hender- son for lieutenant-colonel, and Samuel F. Parker for major, and con- sisted of four companies from Middlesex County, and four from Monmouth. The arrival of the forces of General Sir William Howe, off Sandy Hook, caused the marching of this brigade, in an incom- plete state, on the 25th of June. On the 8th of July, Gen. Na- thanial Greene ordered Colonel Forman's " Regiment," which he called " Jersey new levies," to occupy Fort Box and the Oblong Re- doubt : it seems that only a portion were so used. The former fort took its name from Brigade Major Daniel Box, of Nixon's Brigade : it was on Gowanus Cove, at the right of the defenses of Brooklyn. Next to it was Fort Greene : then the Oblong Redoubt : then Fort Putnam, on the Waalbogt. On the 4th of August, a detail was ordered from Col. Forman's "Regiment," to work, on the day fol- lowing, on Fort Sterling, which was on Columbia Heights, south of the Brooklyn Ferry. On the 9th of August, Brigadier-General Greene became Major-General, and his old Brigade fell to Colonel John Nixon, promoted. On the same day, the remaining battalions of Heard's Brigade were ordered to Long Island, to re-enforce Gen- eral Greene. On the i6th of August, Generals Nixon and Heard, of Greene's Division, were ordered to furnish a " fatigue party from their brigades, and to form the necessary lines from Fort Box to Fort Putnam." Early in August, Forman's Battalion had been rated at three hundred and seventy-two men ; but other men may have joined before the battle. The defenses on Long Island had been planned by General Charles Lee, and General Greene had continued the work upon them, and had made himself familiar with the topography. At the time of the fighting, he was sick and absent, and the command of his division, consisting of the brigades of Nixon and Heard, appears to have de- volved upon General Nixon, either by seniority or by direct assign- ment. On the night of the 23rd of August, the battalions of Forman and Johnson were sent to the coast road. Forman's Battalion, on the morning of the 27th of August, was at Fort Box. This fort seems 3S SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY to have been of diamond shape, and on or near the line of Pacific Street, Brooklyn, a short distance southeasterly from Bond Street, After the battle of the 27th of August, and by the 2nd of September, the army was recast into three grand divisions, or corps, under Generals Israel Putnam, Joseph Spencer, and William Heath. Greene's brigades, on account of his continued sickness, were assigned temporarily to Spencer, and they were on the line from Hoorn's Hoek to Harlem. About the 5th of October Greene was placed in command in New Jersey, near the Hudson River. On the 15th of November he ordered Heard's Brigade to advance rapidly to the relief of Fort Washington : perhaps they were involved in the catastrophe. In November, Heard's Brigade was with Washington, at Newark beyond the Passaic. Colonel Forman was detached to repress a threatened insurrection in Monmouth County.* Early in the year 1777, Schureman, with his cousin John Thom- son [9] (previously a sea captain), was captured by the British cavalry, on Laurenz Brook, at what was afterwards Bergen Mill, three miles south of New Brunswick. They were confined, for a short time, in the guard-house, at New Brunswick, and then were transferred to the " Sugar House Prison," in New York City, on the southerly side of Liberty Street, east of, and near to Nassau Street. Philip Kisuyck, a Royalist, and a connection by marriage,— his wife was a Stryker,— furnished them with money, in order that they might buy food. They bribed the guard to give them the privilege of the yard ; and one night, having bestowed upon the guard liquor con- taining laudanum, they dug their way through the wall, and escaped to what was then the upper part of the city, and in a small boat, with one oar, they paddled over to Pouel's Hoek, whence they went to the Patriot army, at Morristown.f On the 26th of October, 1779, Lieut.-Col. John Graves Simcoe, of the Queen's Rangers, made a foray from Amboy, and burned stores at Bound Brook, whale-boats and the church at Raritan, and the court-house at Hillsborough, now Millstone. Word was sent to New Brunswick, and Col. John Neilson advanced with the 2nd Regiment of Midd lesex militia to Raritan Landing, and detached *See History of Momnouth Coimiy, pp. 135, 142: Battles of American Revolution, Carrington, p. 249 : Campaign of 1776 Part II Documents, pp. 21, 25, 26, 68, 69, 70, 102, 209, 228: Life of Washington, Marshall, vol. ii., pp. 520, 522. \ Historical Discourse, New Brunswick, 1867, Steele p 6q ■ JV.

Guest set an ambush, and Simcoe's horse was shot and fell, and Simcoe was stunned. A bayonet thrust would have finished him, but Schureman turned aside the weapon, and took Simcoe prisoner.* He was a representative in the General Assembly of New Jersey, in 1783, 1784, 1785, 1788, and a member of the Senate and Council, in 1808, 1810, and i8i2.f In the year last named he was Vice- President of the Council, which office corresponded with the presi- dency of the Senate. J In September, 1786, he was one of the three delegates from New Jersey, to the Convention of delegates from six States, which met at Annapolis. This convention was proposed by Virginia, to formulate better trade relations. It recommended a new call, with a view to representation of the States which had failed to send delegates : and then adjourned. The constitutional convention followed. § On the 7th of November, 1786, he was elected to the Congress the Confederation, from New Jersey. He served as such for two years, 1786-88.il He was a Representative in the first Congress of the United States, March 4, 1789-March 3, 1791 ; and in the fifth Congress, May 15, 1797-March 3, 1799. He succeeded John Rutherford in the Senate of the United States, December 3, 1799, and served until 26th of February, 1801, when he resigned, because of the impending installation of Jefferson, as President. He re- appeared as a Representative, and served in the Thirteenth Congress, May 24, 1813-March 15, 1815. Schureman was a merchant at New Brunswick, and his house and store were on Burnet Street, at the foot of Schureman Street, which was re-named from him. He was Mayor of the city, 1801-13, and 1821-24. While he held the office, he deemed it necessary to tear down a building, to stay a conflagration, and he shouted through a * Historical Discourse, New Brunswick, p. 68: Historical Collec- tions of N.

" There was hesitation ; but some one said, " That 's Schureman's voice," and the building was torn down forthwith. His name appears as Elder of the Dutch Church, 15, September, 1817, and 18, April, 1819, to fill vacancies. He was trustee of Queens College, 1782-1824; Secretary of the Board, 1784-93; and Treasurer, 1 795-1813 ; and his name appears in the minutes with the duplicate u and an r. But he signed his name with the letters 21 r e. Rev. Dr. Isaac Ferris, who, in his student days, was an inmate of Schureman's house, said of him : " Mr. James Schureman was a noble specimen of a man, highly intelligent and judicious, and possessed of general influence, and of large and liberal views. He had seen much of public life, in honorable positions, and was quali- fied for the leading place which others assigned him." * He purchased, in 1783, a place at One Mile Run, which remained in the family more than one hundred years, and was occupied, in succession, by his sons James and WiUiam, and by James, son of William. Mr. Schureman was a man of native dignity, of some reserve, and of prompt and determined energy. A biographical sketch of him is given in Appleton's Cydopcedia of American Biography. A portrait of him, with the date " 1806 " on the back, is in the possession of the Compiler ; also a companion portrait of his wife. They are supposed to have been painted by Bass Otis, or Washington Allston. His lacks the right eye, which he had lost with smallpox.

Dr. [43], (James/* John/ Jacobus '), born 19, October, 1778, at a place near New Brunswick, N. J., to which his parents had retired, when the British occupied New Brunswick ; baptism recorded at New Brunswick, 15, November, 1778, " Schuur- man " : died 18 May, i8i8, at New Brunswick, of typhoid fever ; married 11, May, 1802, Julia Anne Conover, born 11 July 1781, died 24, May, 1834, daughter of Col. Elias Conover, of Monmouth, N. J., and of Anne Fish, of Long Island. The name Conover was, originally, Koenhoven. The Doctor's " father was called much from home in the public service of his country, and the charge of the son's education devolved chiefly on his pious and venerable grandfather." He was graduated from Queens College, 3, September, 1795, and studied theology with Rev. Dr. John H. Livingston, at New York, and was licensed in 1801 : he was pastor at Bedminster, N. J., 1801-07 ; of the Hillsborough Church, at Millstone, 1807-09: the Collegiate Church, N. Y., 1809-11: and the New Brunswick Church 1813-15. He had never been in robust health, and the pastoral charge at New York was too much for his physical strength ; so he accepted the Vice-Presidency of Queens College in 181 1, and retained it until his death. He was professor of Moral Philosophy and Belles-Lettres, 1813-18, and also of Eccle- siastical History, and Pastoral Theology, in the Seminary, from 18 15 to 1 818. He was one of the trustees of the College from 1800 until 1818. The College of New Jersey, as well as Queens, made him A.M., in 1801, and Columbia College in 1816 conferred on him the degree of S. T. D. While he was pastor of the church at New Bruns- wick, he was instrumental in healing discords, which had existed for some time : but feeble health compelled him to give up that pastorate. His characteristics were, amiability, solidity, and Christian discretion ; and he was greatly beloved and trusted. He was simple, clear, direct, and logical, and he sustained himself among some of the most popular ministers of New York City. He was rising in usefulness, influence, and reputation, at the time of his death.* Children : Mi 172. Julia Anne,' born 8, January, 1804 : died 31, December 1889: married, in 1826, Charles I.

The Judge was an active and trusted Revolutionary patriot, in Ulster County, N. Y. His wife's name would be Angli- cized as Charity; but it appears only in its Dutch form, and the provincials pronounced it Chawchee. Catharine, in 1843, returned to New Brunswick. She was a woman of great calmness, good in- telligence, and excellent memory, assisting her husband with chapter and verse of Scripture passages. A good miniature likeness of her is in the possession of her son, painted by an amateur, who did not have equal success with her husband's.

Rev. Dr. Isaac Ferris said of him: "My fellow boarder, at his uncle's, was James Schureman Nevius, the most cheerful and vivacious of young men, always ready for a joke, and never behind in a repartee, and, at the time, a keen, discriminating, young lawyer."* His reputation as a judge was good, and he was never suspected of bias. He commanded the respect of the Bar, and won the confidence of the juries. He was beloved in all his circuits, as he was in his own home. He was fond of anecdote, and possessed of a pleasant humor, which was provocative of smiles and laughter. The present writer found him something of a tease. His perception of evangelical truth was clear, and in his latter years he was steadfast in religious devotion. Children : 241.
