13 ^-^^^«^fe_,t\^,,^.'^^^^;;^^ ^ THE BERGEN CHURCH RECORDS Mijne Heeren, HE genealogical records of The Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Bergen, now Jersey City, N. J., will appear in the Year Books for 1913, 1914 and The present book contains the Register of Baptisms from 1666 to The Year Book for 1914 will contain the Marriages and the Register of Members; while the Burials, Minutes of the Consistory, etc., will appear in the Year Book for The records, as they are here presented, have had unusual care in preparation and have withstood the criticism of reviewers, many years, without showing any flaw. As early as 1880 Theodore Melvin Banta obtained permission from the Consistory of the Bergen Church to copy the "Church book" and in 1888, Thomas Edward Vermilye, Jr., as a member of a special committee of the Society on Records of the Ancient Dutch Churches of America, made a literal translation on loose leaves which is now in the library, marked for identification. Copy A, page , and which contains the "Register of Members and Baptisms". In the same year Dingman Versteeg, our present library clerk, copied

14 2 THE HOLLAND SOCIETY copied and translated the Marriages, Burial Records, and Minutes of the Consistory, marked Copy A, page Both of these translations were made under the direction and supervision of Theodore Melvin Banta as chairman of the committee, above referred to, of which Mr. Vermilye was a member. In the years 1899 to 1903 a tabular transcript of the above-mentioned records was made in a bound volume by Sterling Potter, and marked Copy B, under Mr. Banta's personal direction as Secretary of the Society. This book was then taken over to Jersey City, carefully compared with and corrected from the original by Dingman Versteeg, covering a period of many days. The Reverend Cornelius Brett, D. D., present pastor of the Bergen Church, has spoken with full appreciation of the "patient, painstaking work" of Mr. Versteeg and is on record as to the accuracy of this contribution to the colonial history of the church and New Jersey. The Register of Baptisms, printed in this volume, is complete, commencing January i, 1666, continuing to December 18, There appears to be a break, from 1669 to 1673, of four years, during which time the children may have been entered upon the records of New York or other churches. In after years it frequently occurs that children, born at Bergen, were baptized in New York, the record appearing "baptized in New York". In presenting this Register of Baptisms in tabular form, all notes given in the original record of a genealogical value have been printed as foot notes at the bottom of each page. Items such as: "born at 2 P. M." and "Born on Thursday at midnight" have been purposely omitted. In two instances where children were born "out of wedlock" wherein the surname assumed by the child is not given, the entries have also been omitted because of no genealogical value. All names have been faithfully copied as they appear with all the variations in spellings and errors of the voorlesers; and where omissions occur, even though possible to supply, no inserts have been made. The record is thought to be truly represented. All entries have

15 BERG EN RECORD S 3 have been arranged in the order of their dates of baptism and consecutively numbered for convenience in indexing. This work is published in the most likely form which it would have assumed if printed at the time the original entries were made by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier, who were the most famous printers of that time. The Elzeviers or Elseviers were a family of famous printers and booksellers of Leyden and afterward Amsterdam; no fewer than fifteen of whom carried on the business in succession from 1580 to Their Pliny (1635), Firgil (1636) and Cicero (1642) are the masterpieces of their press, and in elegance of design, neatness, clearness and regularity of type, and beauty of paper cannot be surpassed. As far as practicable their typography and all of the peculiar characteristics of their works have been carefully followed. The use of catch-words, signature lettering and half measure foot notes have been imitated exactly. The paper used in this book has been made to imitate the old paper of that day and the button of the Society is reproduced as a watermark. All of the illustrations have been made and engraved after the style of wood cuts then so popular. These cuts were engraved from photographs and descriptions and are historically correct as to detail and ensemble. The index was carefully prepared by William B. Van Alstyne, M.D., a member of our society who makes a specialty in statistical EYNDE and genealogical work. The

With the village came also the church and the school: in fact a condition made by each pioneer in accepting a grant of village lot or outlying farm was, that ministers of the Reformed faith should be provided and the education of the children secured. In 1661 the first municipality was created in the form of an inferior court whose decisions were subject to appeal in the general court in New Amsterdam.

The earliest records are in the handwriting of D""" Henricus Selyns, a minister of the church of Breuckelen, Long Island, and later, after 1682, of the church of New York. In this original list we find the names of eighteen women and nine men. The record is evidently a copy from some earlier document and the break from the beautiful handwriting of the dominie to current entries is plainly discerned. The earliest services were probably conducted, like the school, in a private house: but tradition says there was built, within a few years, a log house, which served the double purpose of school and church. The first stone church was octagonal. ^ It stood south of the village just outside the palisade. One side of the interior was occupied by the pulpit opposite the door: three sides on the right and left of the door were provided with plain wooden seats, while the open space was filled with straight back chairs. The bell' hung in the peak of the roof and was rung by a rope which hung in the center. A succession of voorlesers followed Steenhuysen who left no records. In 1665 Reynier Bastiaense Van Giesen was installed and for forty-two years continued in office. He was succeeded in 1708 by Adriaen Vermeule who served for twenty-eight years and who formerly occupied the same position and that of town clerk at Niew Haarlem. In 1726 P. Van Benthuyzen began his work. After twenty-five years the last voorleser, Abraham Sickels, was installed. During his term of office the first pastor arrived and thereafter the name of "clerk" was substituted for the old title "voorleser".

22 lo THE HOLLAND SOCIETY was built', on the old Dutch models, in 1773, and in it was found that this edifice was too small to accommodate the growing congregation. As the building stood in the cemetery, surrounded by graves, it could not be enlarged without disturbing the remains of the departed. The old building was torn down and its successor erected on a portion of the old "Glebe". The old stones from the first two churches were used in the new walls. It was dedicated in 1842^ and still remains as the house of worship of the modern congregation. When D''- Taylor retired in 1871, R^"^- James L. Amerman was installed as pastor.

23 BERGEN RECORDS I I THE RECORD OF 1662' A Translation and Reproduction of the Original OCTOR Cornelius Brett, the present pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church, in Jersey City, in his historical sketch, refers to an early subscription list now on file in Albany. Through the courtesy of A. J. F. van Laer, archivist in charge of the manuscripts section of the New York State Library in Albany, New York, the document was located and photographed. This record has never been photographically reproduced before but a translation appears in the Documents Relative to the Colonial History of New York, Vol. 13, page In that translation the name of the well-known notary Tielman van Vleeck is printed, unfortunately, both in the signature to the petition and in the list of subscribers, as Tielman van Neeck. The original document went through the recent Albany fire and was fortunately not destroyed. After the letter from Mr. van Laer of June 22, 1912, explaining this fact follows a translation of the petition which is photographically reproduced on pages 16, 17 and 18. New York State Educational Department NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY, James I. Wyer, Jr., Director. MANUSCRIPTS SECTION, A. J. F. VAN Laer, Archivist. Albany, N. Y., June 22, Mr. Edward Van W'inkle, 90 West Street, New York City. Dear Sir: At Mr. Hu3'ck's' request we have had photographs made of the "List of those at Bergen who subscribed for a clergyman," of 1662, which is found on pages 279 and 280 of volume 10 of our New York 'Edmund N. Huyck, Esq., Vice President of the Holland Society, Albany County.

24 12 THE HOLLAND SOCIETY New York Colonial Manuscripts. I understand that the photographs have been sent to Mr. Huyck, so that you will doubtless receive them soon. Mr. Huyck has also asked me to give you a statement regarding the manner in which this particular document was saved from the flames on March 29, Inasmuch as this document was mounted in a volume which was carried out after the fire, together with hundreds of other volumes which were more or less damaged by the fire, there is nothing to be said that applies especially to this document. As you will notice from the photographs, the document is badly burned at the top. All the documents that were bound with it present the same appearance and the damage is accounted for by the fact that the volume, together with five other volumes of Council Minutes, stood on a high shelf, immediately under a wooden gallery, which was swept by the flames and completely destroyed. The fire apparently worked its way down, leaving a sort of a mound in the center of the wall case, of which the shelf just mentioned formed the highest point. Other volumes of manuscripts, which stood on lower shelves, near the center of the case, suffered comparatively little; they were evidently covered by debris, or had fallen in a heap, before the flames could reach them. On the other hand, many volumes, which were placed on lower shelves near the ends of the room, and in a double-faced case in the middle of the room, were completely destroyed. All that was left of the manuscript collection was after the fire carefully dug out of the ashes and debris and removed to the old armory, now occupied by the Catholic Union, on Eagle Street and Hudson Avenue, where the watersoaked documents were taken from their mounts and dried between blotting paper. At present we are busy repairing, remounting and arranging the thousands of colonial and state documents that were saved. Many will look neater and fresher than I have ever known them before; on the other hand, thousands of documents, among them the manuscript reproduced for you, will forever bear the marks of the terrible ordeal they went through. Very truly yours, (Signed) A. J. F. VAN Laer, Archivist. Petition

25 BERGEN RECORDS I3 PETITION OF THE MAGISTFL\TES OF BER- GEN, ASKING TO BE PROVIDED WITH A CLERGYMAN To THE Noble, Very Worshipful, his Honor, the Director-General and the Honorable Council of New Netherland Show with due reverence the Schepens of the village of Bergen, that whereas your petitioners have observed and considered the fatherly direction and care of your Hon'''" Worships regarding the erection of churches and school-houses, more especially that a God fearing man and preacher be secured to promote and teach the fear of the Lord in the community of Bergen and its jurisdiction; Therefore, the Schepens have thought it advisable, each for himself, to propose it, to learn what every man would be willing to pay yearly of his free will, affection and love for God's holy and blessed word, to have a good teacher, till such a time, when the Noble Lords-Directors of the Incorporated West-India Company shall begin, according to the custom of the country, to levy tithes. After the Schepens had made these propositions, the below named persons have voluntarily declared, that they will give a yearly contribution; the sum to be paid by such voluntary offerings may be calculated at 417 guilders in wampum, but there are among these people some, who have expressed themselves willing to do more according to their abilities if God our Lord would bless them and Increase their prosperity; among the others, opposite whose names no sums are mentioned, there are some very willing, some very unwise, those, who are willing, are the majority and declare, that when a preacher comes, they too would do their best according to their circumstances, like the others. Whereas the petitioners do not know, whether the people of Haersimons* come under this jurisdiction; therefore the petitioners cannot report, what they would do, but the Schepens find it advisable and Ahasimus.

26 14 THE HOLLAND SOCIETY and very necessary, that the village be provided with a preacher and submit to the mature consideration and decision of your Hon'''^ Worships, that it might be notified to the Noble Lords-Directors, our Patroons, by the next ships. Your Hon''''' Worships know, with what courage the village of Bergen has been established by the community and that the same has maintained itself at great expense to the inhabitants, without any outlay to the Lords-Directors. The community is therefore of opinion, that their Noble Honors should take that into consideration and therefore assist the village of Bergen so much readier according to their discretion and to send one over for one or two years at their expense; during that time the land will with God's help have increased in value, so that then that which the good hearted community will liberally give, can be taken for assistance. Awaiting your Hon*"'' Worships' decision hereon the petitioners remain Your Noble, Honorable Worships' humble servants TiELMAN VAN VlEECK Machghyel Jansen' Herman Smedman Casper Steinmetz.
