"... on the Somerset side of the Old Indian Path or old road in 1766,
was the house of Gretie, widow of John Stryker, who was the son of
Garret Stryker of L. I., and who in 1712 purchased of Peter Cortelyou
of New Utrecht, Long Island, 300 acres of land for œ300, lying between
the old and the Middlebush road. 



John Stryker died between 1735 and 1745, ... He had a son John, who 
must have succeeded him in managing the farm. John the second was
succeeded by his son, known by many now living, as Captain John 
Stryker, who was a commander of a troop of light horse called State 
troops in the Revolution.... 



After the death of the widow Margreta, Capt. John Stryker, her grand-
son, became the owner of the homestead farm and added 100 acres to it
of land which he purchased of a Mr. Kearney, lying across the road,
and opposite to the old 300 acre tract, making his farm then to con-
tain 400 acres, excepting eight acres which had been sold to Peter
Pumyea and are now resided on by Edward Cushman. 



Capt. John Stryker built the large and commodious house now standing
on the homestead, in 1795. It was then considered one of the finest
farm houses between New Brunswick and Trenton. He officiated in vari-
ous public capacities, and as justice of the peace, executor of es-
tates, etc., enjoying the confidence of the public in an unusual de-
gree. He was born June 27, 1745, married Catrene Van Derveer, a dau-
ghter of Johannes Van Derveer, Nov. 10, 1764. He died in 1820, aged 75
years. She was born Jan. 20, 1740, and died in 1815, aged 75 years. 
They had five children: John, born in 1765; Dinah, born in 1767, and
married Jaques Voorhees of Middlebush; Lucas, born in 1769; Frederick,
born in 1773, and Cornelia, born in 1776. Frederick owned and lived on
the homestead; married, first, Sophia Van Doren of Griggstown, who
died in 1826; second Harriet Cox of Ten-Mile Run, who has survived him
and lives at Franklin Park village. He died in 1853. She is in her 
88th year..."

Stuyvesant to "Cornelis Janse," lying on the North side of the land
of Jan Snediker. His name appears as a magistrate of Flatbush in 1678
and '80, and on the patent of said town of 1685.
