PREFACE

LlAVING, while engaged in gathering materials for
a genealogy of the Bergen family, procured much
information relating to others of the early settlers of
Long Island, at the request of some members of the
Van Brunt family, I have been induced to put in
shape and prepare for publication a genealogy of said
family. There are gaps in the work, which from the
lack of information and time I am unable to fill, branches
of the family having removed and become scattered
over the middle and western states of this Union,
consequently difficult of access. It is to be hoped that
this effort of mine will induce some one or more of
the members of the family to take an interest in the
matter, and make more full and complete what I
have begun. As time progresses, old papers and records
by accidental and other causes are destroyed and lost —
knowledge which our ancestors possessed passes away;
and this will continue to be the case in the future,
unless the present generation make efforts to prevent
it by gathering up and recording this knowledge, and
by multiplying their records for the information and
benefit of posterity. The contents of these pages are

derived from family and church records, old papers,
tomb-stones, public documents, and the early history
of the country. They are intended to be accurate
and reliable; but in a work of this kind errors are
apt to creep in, and no doubt have crept in, in spite
of all efforts to prevent it. Their imperfection is there
fore admitted, and forgiveness and pardon asked for all
unintentional errors and omissions.
To the members of the family and others who have
kindly allowed the examination of their records and
papers, and afforded me the information they could
gather or possessed, I would return my sincere thanks.
As a general thing the genealogy of the family is in
tended to be carried out to the year 1862, to which date
researches were made.

GENEALOGY

THE VAN BEUNT FAMILY.

Rutgers JOESTEN van BEUNT, or Rutger the
son of Joost or George, the common ancestor of the Van
Brunt family in this country, emigrated from the Nether
lands in 1653, and was among the first settlers in New
Utrecht, on Long Island in the present state of New
York, in 1657. From whence the name is derived is
involved in uncertainty, there being no place in the
Netherlands named Brunt, the nearest approach being
" Bruntinge, a hamlet in the province of Drenthe, three-
fourths of an hour's travel south of Westerbork, contain
ing seven houses and fifty inhabitants." The Honorable
H. C. Murphy, while U. S. Minister at the Hague, on
diligent inquiry and examination of the directories of the
principal cities, failed to find a single individual of the
name in the country. He, however, obtained a copy of an
arithmetic published by J. Brunt, of which five editions
had been issued, the title of the third being " continua
tion of the rudiments of arithmetic, composed in ques
tions and answers for the use of schools, by Jan Brunt, in
his lifetime schoolmaster at Leyden, by M. & S. Bevel,
master in the liberal arts, and doctor in philosophy,
printed in 1824 at Leyden." From Jan Brunt not having
the prefix of Van to his name, it may be inferred that
Brunt is a proper surname, and not derived from the
place from which Rutger Joesten emigrated.
Rutger Joesten was an agriculturist, holding large
tracts of land, and one of the most influential citizens of
the newly begun village of New Utrecht where he con
tinued to reside until his death which occurred prior to

2 GENEALOGY OF THE
1713, the exact date not having been ascertained. He died
intestate leaving his grandson Nicholas ^ his heir-at-law.
Dec. 19th, 1721, letters of administration were granted by
Governor Burnet on his personal estate, to Joost,' his son,
Nicholas' being dead and Cornelius' having renounced
his riglit. By a deed dated Aug. 8th, 1717, recorded in
the office of the register of Kings county iu liber D, page
153, of Conveyances, it appears that at this date a division
was made of Rutger Jobstbn's real estate. Ou the settle
ment of the village of New Utrecht, Rutger Joesten
was allotted a double lot lying on the east side of laud of
Thomas Jansen, and ou the west side of Jan Gerritse,
being in breadth 48 rods, and in length 600 rods, contain
ing 48 morgen (about 100 acres) ; also a double house or
building lot in the village, lying east of the lot of Nica-
sius de Sille, and west of Cornells Beeckman, in breadth
20 rods, in length 30 rods, on which he erected his dwell
ing house, one of the first three built in the village.
Afterwards on the further division of the common lands
of the town he obtained several other large plots, araong
which were two lots known as numbers 11 and 12, at the
Yellow Hook, now Bay Ridge, described as lying by the
"fontein," at present the homestead farms held by Rulif
and Daniel Van Brunt, his descendants, and he also pur
chased several tracts.*

*Among the conveyances to Eutgert Joesten are found the following : Willem Willemse
Van Engen to Rutger Joesten, dated May 9th, 1661 ; conveys a lot in New tJtrecht with

VAN BRUNT FAMILT. 3
On the 6th of February, 1660, the director general
Petrus Stuy vesant with the fiscael (attorney general) Nica-
sius de Sille, visited the village of New Utrecht, on which
occasion he admonished the residents each to erect a suit
able dwelling, to keep a man-servant able to bear arms,
and also to inclose the village with good heavy palisades.
On this occasion the inhabitants had the Prince's fiag
(given to the town by the fiscael) hoisted on a high pole
in the centre of the village and unfurled to the breeze,
and Rutger Joesten assisted by his neighbors prepared a
public entertainment or dinner in as good a style as the
place could afford, at which the director general and fiscael
were guests. During the troubles in 1663 and the begin
ning of 1664, and prior to the English conquest of New
Netherlands, when the towns of Hempstead, Jamaica,
Newtown, Oysterbay and Gravesend (whose settlers were
mostly English), entered into a " combination," as they
termed it, to manage their own affairs, but in reality to
throw off the Dutch yoke and join the English, and
employed Capt. John Scott (ahold and unprincipled adven
turer who had been banished by the Parliament from Eng
land for his misdeeds), to manage their aff'airs and fight
their battles — the valiant captain at the head of his 150
followers, after marching to Brooklyn ferry, Flatbush and
other localities, and frightening the peaceable farmers with
his antics and warlike display, marched into the quiet
village of New Utrecht. There, among other singular
feats he dismounted the small cannon in the block-house
erected for defense against the Indians, andthen remounted
it in another port-hole which he called the King's port
and fired a salute. At the house of Rutger Joesten,
one of his valiant band, an Englishman from Hempstead
plains, a smith by trade, came along making considerable
noise and uproar, inquiring for Matthys Pickstaert,
threatening to run Tryntie Claes, Rutger Jobsten's wife,
through with a sword which he held in his hand, and
pointed three different times at her breast, calling out,
"Where is the man ? so that eventually all the Englishmen
came into her house and stilled the fury, and relieved her
of the dread and peril in which she was placed. On the
establishment of a court of schepens (justices of the
peace) in the town of New Utrecht on the 22d of Dec,
1661, Jan Tomasse (Van Dyck), Rutgert Joesten, and Jacob
Hellekers (Swart) were appointed to the office, which
position Rutgert Joesten held in 1665, and probably during

4 GENEALOGY OF THE
the intermediate years. In 1678, 1679, 1680, and 1685 he
was one of the opzienders (overseers), the principal magis
trates of the place, an office established in 1665, after the
conquest of the New Netherlands by the English. It is
probable he held this office for a much longer period, the
records being very meagre and imperfect. In 1675,
Rutger Joesten was assessed for 1 poll, 5 horses, 4 cows,
13 sheep, and 1 hog, valued at .£144 10s., and 72 mor
gen of land and valley valued at £144. In 1683 he was
assessed 2 polls, 200 acres of land, 8 horses and 24 cows.
In 1693 he was assessed for 2 slaves, 100 acres of land, 4
horses, 12 cattle, 5 house plots, 1 house, 1 barn, 1 mill
and 1 brewery. On a census of 1698 he is entered, 1
man, 1 woman and 5 slaves.
He married 1st in 1657, Tryntje Claes or Claesen, widow
of Stoffel Harmenson, cloth shearer, who was killed by
the Indians in the attack of 1655, leaving surviving a son
at the time twelve years old.* Tryntje was born about 1618,
and living as late as 1688, in which year there is an entry
on the church books of her paying 12 guilders to the
church fund. He married 2d Gretian  who was proba
bly living in 1721, Rutoer Joestbn's estate being allowed
at that time two women's places in the church.

* The following is a copy of the minutes of the orphan's court of New Amsterdam, which
throws light on this subject : " Whereas Tryntje Clasen, wid. of the deceased Stoffel Har
mensen, cloth shearer, killed in the year 1655 in the attack of the Indians, intends to enter
again the married state with Rut. Joesten van Brant, bachelor,' and a little stepson about
12 years old is left by the above named Tryntje Claesen and Stoft'el Harmensen, and
It appears by the will of said Stoffel Harmensen dated 10th Jnly, 1649, executed at
Amsterdam before the notary Indrieq van der Vin and certain witnesses, and exhibited
to the worshipful Orphan Masters of this city that the said little boy should receive the
just half of his father's goods and effects; and it is accordingly -necessary that examina
tion and proof be made of the said child's just share by impartial persons, either by perti
nent inventory or estimate of the estate left by said Stoft'el Harmensen ; Therefore
have the worshiplul Orphan Masters requested and eonimissioned as their worships
hereby do, Messrs. Johannis Neflus, and Jaques Cortelyou as guardians and tutors over
the said minor child, after examination of tho estate, means and eft'ects which have been
left, to agree with the said Tryntje Clasen about the child's just share, and then to make
the same known here at the orphan chamber, and to secure the same by mortgage on the
lands or other real estate, so that the aforesaid child may obtain his just paternal share.

VAN BRUNT FAMILY. 19
loan officer of the county, and in 1791 one of the com
missioners to rebuild the court house in the town of
Flatbush. The Lombardy poplar being introduced into the coun
try about this period. Col. Van Brunt propagated them in
nurseries, and planted more than a mile of the frontage
of his farm on the road leading from New Utrecht to
Gravesend, and also both sides of the lane leading to his
dwelling house, with the young trees, placing them 12 feet
apart, intending when of sufficient size to use them as a
substitute for fence posts. The experiment on being tried,
when the trees had arrived at a sufficient size after his
death, proved a failure, the sap oozing out of the holes
cut in the sides of the trees to admit the insertion of the
rails, together with the dampness, caused the inserted end
of the rails in a short time to decay, and the rail to drop
or be easily displaced by cattle. These steeple-shaped
trees which some years ago gave this road a picturesque
appearance, have about all disappeared.
At the time when these trees were young, the appren
tices of Col. James Cropsey, a master carpenter, com
monly known as Boss Cropsey, a resident of the locality
in New Utrecht known as Unionville, on returning at night
from a ball in the village of Gravesend, out of mischief
broke down several of the young poplars. Col. Van Brunt
on discovering the damage next day, knowing of the ball
and ascertaining who were present, soon divined who had
done the mischief. Calling upon Boss Cropsey, he in
formed him of his suspicions ; on which the Boss took a
singular method to ferret out the culprits. He went into
the shop where his apprentices were at work, and pro
ceeded to make a bat iu their presence, they having spied
the colonel, looking upon his actions with distrust. On
completing the bat, he walked up to one of the most timid,
and, without saying a word, commenced whaling him on
his bottom ; after two or three blows the frightened ap
prentice roared out, " Oh, stop Bossy, stop Bossy, and I will
tell you all about it ! " The Boss ceased^his blows, aud the
boy made a full confession, in which the others joined.
The offenders having been brought before the colonel, the
punishment he meted out to them was to come the next
day and pull flax all day, a laborious job. The boys after
having performed their penance, said they did not so
much mind pulling the flax, as the being compelled at
noon by the colonel to come into the house and dine with

Rutgert A. Van Brunt, the Bath property, that of Wm.
G. Verity and of heirs of F. Keymer, and the Benson ave
nue lots. From 1763, to the end of his life, he was gene
rally a member of the consistory of the Reformed Dutch
church of the town. In 1775, at the commencement of
the revolution, in which the United States achieved her
independence, Adrian Van Brunt was captain of the militia
of the town, favoring the separation from Great Britain.
It was on the farms of Adrian Van Brunt and that of Isaac
Cortelyou, the British, on the morning of the 22d of Au
gust, 1776, landed 15,000 men with 40 pieces of cannon,
in command of Lord Howe, under cover of the guns of
a portion of their fleet, intended to put down the rebellion
in the state and colonies, which effiart, however, proved to
be a signal failure. After the battle of Long Island and
the occupation of the island and the city of New York by
the British, Adrian with his neighbors, were compelled
either to take the oath of allegiance to the king, to leave
the country, or suff'er the pains and penalties of a refusal.
Not being prepared to emigrate, aud unwilling to run the
risk of suffering and starvation, he and nearly all the
farmers of Kings Co., in November, 1776, took the oath
and protection, and remained under the British govern
ment until the end of the war. On the 13th of June, 1778,
Wm. Marrener with Lieut. John Schenck and twenty-eight

VAN BRUNT FAMILY. 21
militia-men from Middletown point, N. J., landed from
two boats on New Utrecht beach, and after having called
upon their friends, with a portion of their force marched
to Flatbush with the intention of making prisoners of
Mayor Matthews of N. Y., Miles Sherbrook, Major Mon-
criffe and Theophylaet Bache. The attempt on the two
former failed on account of their absence, but succeeded
with the others, aud in addition, Capt. Forrest was cap
tured, who were all safely carried oft" from their beds,
marched to the beach, and taken to New Jersey. The
British authorities rightly supposed that it was impossible
for Marrener's party to have marched to Flatbush in the
evening without having been seen by some of the inhabit
ants. Those who knew of or had seen the party and
failed to give the alarm, by law, were guilty of treason.
Col. Rutgert Van Brunt, of Gravesend, and his brother
Adrian, and Rem Van Pelt and his brother Aert, of New
Utrecht, were arrested on the 16th of June, on suspicion,
and confined separately in the provost jail in New York.
The colonel who had money, managed to bribe the sergeant
who had charge so as to obtain a midnight interview with
his fellow prisoners, at which it was arranged to deny all
knowledge of the affair. When examined separately,
they all agreed in their story, and no proof appearing
against them, they were discharged. During the war,
Adrian appears to have been the leading man in the town,
his name appearing at the head of addresses, commit
tees, etc.
