James Knight is named as churchwarden from 1611 to 1612: -6 Jan 1605[/6?], Hellen wife of Jacobi [James] Knyte, bur. -30 Jun 1605[1606?], "James Knyte and Anne Coullen weare also joygned togeither in Matrimonye" -6 Oct 1636, James Knight, bur. -14 Sep 1638, Anne Knight widow of James Knight, bur. -Children of the above: -25 Mar 1607, William s of Jacoby Knyte, bap. -25 Mar 1610[/11?], Robert s of Jacobi Knite, bap.; 3 Oct 1678, Robert and James Knight, bur. [James was a widower and his burial record is not found in Stockbury with his wife. No other James Knights of Bicknor fit for a burial.]; many baptisms and burials starting 4 May 1646 found in this parish for children of Robert and Elizabeth Knight. -28 Feb 1612/13, James son of James Knite, bap.; 3 Oct 1678, Robert and James Knight, bur.

Family Group: -William Knight named as churchwarden 1616-1617. [No church records found for a William of this time period. Most likely the son William named in William Knight's will of 1573, which makes him the brother of James above.] Family Group -- Ingeram was chr. 6 Mar 1597 in Hougham to William Knight. He becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury. He is the son of William the churchwarden above. -25 Nov 1622, Ingeram Knight and Elizabeth Brenard, mar. -19 Oct 1623, Marye d of Ingeram Knight, bap. Family Group: This William is the one bapt. above in 1607 and who married Anne Knight in Hollingbourne in 1642. -5 Feb 1642/3, Richard s of William Knight and [blank] his wife, bap. Comments: The fact that William Knight, the churchwarden of 1616-17, was in Bicknor shows an association with the Knights of this parish, who are all closely related. We know from Ingeram's christening record in Hougham that his father was William Knight, which leads us to the conclusion that William the churchwarden is most likely his father since there was no known brother to Ingeram named William. William is most likely the brother of James of Bicknor and the son of the William and Jone as named in his father's will. Ingeram becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury. 2.

Some have reported that this Nicholas was bur. 16 Apr 1633 at Hunton; however, the record clearly states that it was Nicholas, the son of this Nicholas Bishoppe, who was buried. 2. Hunton, Kent, England Parish Record Transcripts (FHL fiche 6341240) for the following burial: 1661, July 22 -- Mr. Nicholas Bishopp deceased July 18." MARRIAGE: 1. One of the early extractions in Kent, England is a marriage of Nicholas Bishop and Elizabeth Bret 2 Apr 1616 at St. Mary Bredman, Canterbury, Kent. This is in east Kent and not west Kent and not normally in the close range of other marriages in the parish of Hunton, but there were occasions when this happened. Dates and names work, but there needs to be more to substantiate such a marriage. There is also another Nicholas Bishop marrying another person within a year or two of this marriage again over closer to Canterbury. Research needs to continue first before confirming if this is the same couple as our Nicholas and Elizabeth. | Bishop, Nicholas (I338)

The construction of this family is from several wills and other records (see other notes for those sources): Parents: John Clench (-1582) of Otterden and his wife Johan are identified in two documents. They are found in Eastling selling real property in the Kent Feet of Fines for 1530/31. In John's will of 1582, land in Eastling (near to Otterden) is part of his legacy. Assuming a marriage no later than 1530, then John would have been born bef. 1505 (age 25 or older) and Johann before 1511 (age 19 or older). John's will in Otterden of 1582 identifies six children -- three sons (Edward, John, and Anthony) and three daughters (Rabech, Benet, and Ane). The will names the wife of Edward as Rose as well as three daughters of Edward -- Jane, Thomason, and Benet. The will indicates that his son John has children, but for Anthony he only says heirs rather than children. Children (order unknown): A. [Vicar] John Clench (-1593). The connection as a son is probable but not fully proven. We know the Vicar's son Josias was named as a "cosen" in John's probable brother Anthony's 1609/10 will, which term probably included nephews in that era. We can also place Josias later in life in Eastling where he is buried and where also John of Otterden had legacies in his will. Vicar John would have been born around 1530 since he married his first wife bef. 1555. From his probable father John's 1582 will, we know that he had children (unnamed) in 1582. Since no other John Clinch of that era shows up in the nearby localities except Vicar John, it would lead us to conclude Vicar John to be John of Otterden's son. This John was named as the Vicar of the Tonge parish and is so named with that title in at least one marriage record and in his 24 Jun 1593 will -- in this marriage record, Vicar John marries an Otterden woman. In his will, his current wife Agnes, his son Josias, and his son-in-law Cadwallader Lewes are mentioned. Of the three sons of John of Otterden, all three die in in the same generation with Vicar John in 1593, Edward bef. 1596, and Anthony in 1609/10. Vicar John was most likely married at least three times: the first wife is unknown and the probable mother of his children; he married secondly Mary Bonnce; and lastly Agnes ___ who shows as his wife in his will. Wives and children: a. Unknown wife who died before 1583. Marriage was probably before 1555 when their son Josias was born: i. Josias Clench (1555-1632). Parish records show he marries Sara Sharp 8 May 1587 in Tonge and is buried 23 Dec 1632 in Eastling. His age is given in the burial record which calculates a birth in 1555. His wife Sara was probably born sometime before 1568 assuming she was 19 or older at the time of her marriage. She is buried 3 Oct 1602 in Eastling. They have at least three children all christened in Eastling: Jacob c. 20 May 1593, Henry c. 28 Mar 1596, and William c. 5 Aug 1599 and bur. 7 May 1670. Josias also shows up in Quarter Sessions in 1601 and 1606 in Eastling (alternately shown as "Istling"). In one of these records he is named as the Vicar of Eastling. ii. Sara Clench. Parish records show she marries Cadwallader Lewes (or Lewis) 11 Jul 1586 in Tonge. They have at least three children christened in Luddesdown: William c. 28 Dec 1587, Ursula c. 27 Dec 1589, and Thomas c. 2 Jul 1592. She was probably born before 1567 when she would have been 19 or older at the time of her marriage. From the will of her father, it appears she died before 24 Jun 1593 but after 2 Jul 1592 when her last child was christened. Cadwallader had a will dated 1595 in the Archdeaconry of Rochester (1595p IR 18.417 17). b. Mercy Bonnce who died before 1596. "Canterbury Marriage Licenses," by Joseph Meadows Cooper, p. 95: "John Clinche, vicar of Tong, and Mercy Bonnce of Otterden. April 3, 1583. She would have died before John's marriage to Agnes who shows as his wife in his 1593 will. c. Agnes ___ who died after 1596 when she is named in Vicar John's will. B. Edward Clench (about 1551 - before 1596) married Rose around 1571. They raised a family in Otterden ... Edward died sometime prior to 1596, for on May 27 of that year Rose married John Style in Otterden. Edward, Rose, and their three oldest daughters are named in Edward's father's will of 1582. Edward's daughter Margaret and son might be the same as the "goddaughter Margaret Clinch" and "my cosen Edward Clinch" mentioned in Edward's brother Anthony's 1609/10 will. Children of Edward & Rose Clenche, from the Otterden register: -Jane Clench (c. 15 May 1572) -Tomasson Clench (c. 7 Feb 1574) -John Clench ( c. 12 Aug 1575- bur. 3 Jun 1576) -Benet Clench (c. 15 Nov 1578) -Margarett Clinch (c. 13 Aug 1581) -Edward Clinch (c. 19 Jun 1586 - from 23 Feb 1647 to 21 Sep 1648) -Elizabeth Clench (c. 12 Apr 1589, Otterden, Kent, England, bur. 27 Mar 1591) C. Anthony (-1609/10). No wife or children are mentioned in his will, but he does name three Clinches -- goddaughter Margaret and "cosen" Edward who may both be his brother Edward's children; Josias who is Vicar John's son. Anthony is probably the youngest of the three sons since he is mentioned last in his father's will and that he dies 1609/10 versus Edward (bef. 1596) and John (1593). D. Rabech (deciphering of name from father's will uncertain) Clench. Married to Thomas Allen. E. Benet Clench. Married to Robert Barnes.[Note: Is Benet Harry mentioned in brother Anthony's 1609/10 will the same person as Benet Clench who married Robart Barnes and was in a second marriage to a Mr. Harry?] F. Ane Clench. Married to Richard Allen. Ane's father's 1582 will mention unnamed children but does name one son WIlliam Allen. 4.

Comments: The fact that William Knight, the churchwarden of 1616-17, was in Bicknor shows an association with the Knights of this parish, who are all closely related. We know from Ingeram's christening record in Hougham that his father was William Knight, which leads us to the conclusion that William the churchwarden is most likely his father since there was no known brother to Ingeram named William. William is most likely the brother of James of Bicknor and the son of the William and Jone as named in his father's will. Ingeram becomes the progenitor of many Knights in Stockbury. DEATH: 1.

It is an extensive research gleaned from several histories, family websites, an 1870 census and sexton records. I have included a report in the memories section under documents that will explain the conclusion. New research has confirmed Albert Hanks was the parent of Albert A. Hanks, Mary E Hanks and M.E. Hanks according to a Parowan Sexton Record which is attached as a source. In this record the children are buried next to Ruth Smith Hanks and together they are listed as parents of these 3 children. Albert's wife, Ruth was raised by Zilpha Stark with her daughter Mary Amelia Smith who later marries a Wimmer. This is where the Wimmer surname has been confused. An 1870 Census which has an incorrectly indexed surname as Wento; it is found for an "Indian couple," Albert Hanks and Ruth, they are listed as parents of 2 additional children, Albert A and Mary E. (this is a different Mary E. - see report attached in documents for more details of this family.) Two separate histories note Ruth had "five" children that did not live to adulthood. B. Julie also wrote up a very good research treatise showing five children from Albert and Ruth. It is posted on FamilySearch in the Memories section. | Hanks, M. E. (I6378)

In the 1790 census, Jacob Wampler is listed as a head of family in Frederick County, with one male of 16 years and upward, one male under 16, and two females comprising his household. The 1810 census of the same county lists an M. Wampler (female), and the 1820 census lists a Mary Wampler as a head of family. Likely these entries pertain to Mary, wife of Jacob Wampler. If so, he probably died before 1810. The official poll of the presidential election in Frederick County held in Nov. 1796 shows that Jacob Wampler voted for Geo. Murdock, Elector for the Democrat-Republican party. In 1796 there was no secret ballot.

Phebe Engler's gravestone gives her age as 64 yr., 3 mo., 5 d., implying that her date of birth was 12 Jan 1751, but this may conflict with her sister Anna Elizabetha's birth date which was probably a month or so before her baptism on 28 Oct 1750. The gravestone of Phebe's husband, Jacob Engler (1752-1816), is one which matches hers in design. Also buried at Wolfe Cemetery is a younger Jacob Englar (1764-1809) who was son of Philip Englar (1736-1817) and thus a brother of the Catherine Englar who married David Wampler, Phebe's younger brother. In the 1790 and 1800 censuses, Jacob Engler is listed as a head of family in Frederick Co., MD. Some previously published accounts [references Fred B. Wampler's "Wampler Family History 1701-1980" and Genevieve M. Shouse's "Wamplers of America"] of the Wampler family state that the name of Philiptenia Wampler's husband was Philip Engler (or Ingler), but I have found nothing in the original records to substantiate this claim.

She being the only child of David and Christina Cossart who married, at New York before the family left for Bound Brook, New Jersey.

Ahasuerus, the first child of John and Lea was baptised at the New York Church on January 27, 1718 and was doubtless named for his mother’s uncle Ahasuerous Van Horns, as no further record of him can be found it is presumed that he died in childhood.

Jacob Cossart, son , of David Cossart (9) baptised at the Dutch Church January 28, 1702, named for his grandfather Jacques Cossart (3). He seemed to have married at about the age of 21 to Wilhelmina Kinney or Kenne. The fact that her family name does not appear on the Raritan church records but does appear on the Harlingen church records and the further fact that she had one of her children baptised at the Harlingen Church indicates that her people lived over in Montgomery Township in the vicinity of Harlingen. David Cossart's (9) will was made on June 10, 1736 and in this will be made provisions for the three children of his son Jacob, then deceased. While the Raritan church records show that Jacob had a son Jacob baptised at that church November 14, 1736 indicating that Jacob must have died either from accident or after a brief illness shortly prior to the time his father's will was drawn and that his fourth child, a posthumous child, was born after his death.

Maria or Mary Cossart, daughter of David Cossart (9), baptised at New York City July 3, 1706. She was baptised in the Dutch church as Maria but in her father's will she is called Mary Williamson. The fact that her father names Peter Williamson as one of the executors of his will indicates that was the Christian name of his son-in-law. This family which later became very numerous in Somerset County, N.J. seems to have first settled about Bound Brook and Raritan. The first mention I find of the name is in 1706 when a David Williamson and wife appear as witnesses to a baptism at Raritan on February 24, 1739 a Peter Williamson and wife Mary appear at this chruch to have a son Jacob baptised and again on January 25, 1745; they have a son Theodore baptised, but whether the mother was Mary Cossart or not we do not know. But very few of the name appear on the early Raritan records. I judge that most of the family belonged to Bound Brook Presbyterian church whose records cannot be found, it being the custom of the Presbyterian pastors of this period to take the records with them when they changed pastorates. The records of the early Bound Brook church were they now available, would doubtless throw much light on many of these early Bound Brook families. The name Peter Williamson appears on many public documents now recorded in the Secretary of State's office at Trenton, New Jersey. His services seem to have been much in demand in the settlement of estates, transfers of land and etc., by men of this locality, but whether he was the same Peter who seems to have married Mary Cossart or a later Peter, that we do not know. The name of the common ancestor of this family or from whence they came, we have not yet been able to learn. Peter Williamson was one of the executors of David and Johannes Cossarts wills. The children of Williamson were supposed to have used the surname of Williams and several of them were members of the Dutch Colony in York County, Pennsylvania, and some of them went to Kentucky with the pioneer, Peter Cossart, son of Francis Cossart (157)." | Williamson, Peter (I5879)

On this same day Susannah's cousin John Cossart and wife Catherine Hoagland had a son John baptised. This being very near the date on which Susannah's father David Cossart (9) died. Probably accounts for her as well as others of her father's family not being present at this time. As the name of Richard (Derrick) Conine and his wife Susannah do not appear on the records of the Raritan church it is also possible that Susannah may have died when this son was born, or that they removed from this locality after her father's death." 2.

On January 1, 1740 Richard Conine appears alone at the Raritan church to have a son Jacob baptised. The witness being William and wife Elizabeth Krock. On this same day Susannah's cousin John Cossart and wife Catherine Hoagland had a son John baptised. This being very near the date on which Susannah's father David Cossart (9) died. Probably accounts for her as well as others of her father's family not being present at this time. As the name of Richard (Derrick) Conine and his wife Susannah do not appear on the records of the Raritan church it is also possible that Susannah may have died when this son was born, or that they removed from this locality after her father's death." 2.

David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.

See New Jersey Archives 1st Series, volume xxx. The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground. The births of eleven of the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City as follows: CHILDREN: 149. Leah Cossart, baptised July 21, 1697. 150. Joris (or George) Cossart, born August 19, 1699. 151. Jacob Cossart, born January 28, 1702. 152. David Cossart Jr., born April 25, 1704. 153. Maria Cossart, born July 3, 1706. 154.

The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.

See New Jersey Archives 1st Series, volume xxx. The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground. The births of eleven of the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City as follows: CHILDREN: 149. Leah Cossart, baptised July 21, 1697. 150. Joris (or George) Cossart, born August 19, 1699. 151. Jacob Cossart, born January 28, 1702. 152. David Cossart Jr., born April 25, 1704. 153. Maria Cossart, born July 3, 1706. 154.

Cossairt, 1936, pp. 44-45: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. Joris (or George Cossart) eldest son of David (9), baptised at New York Dutch Church November 19, 1699. Named for his grandfather Joris Van Horne. As a young man he learned the bricklayers trade and the records seem to indicate that he followed this trade during his lifetime. At the age of 31, September 16, 1730 he married Elizabeth Hoaglandt baptised at New York November 20, 1706. She being the daughter of Johannes Hoaglandt baptised 1666 and his second wife Jannetie Andries or Andrews. They had another daughter Catherine baptised October 4, 1713 who about 1735 married Johannes Cossart son of Anthony (9), thus it will be seen that George and Johannes Cossart were both cousins and brothers-in-law, they had a brother-in-law Adrian Hoaglandt who also settled in Bridgewater Township in the vicinity of Bound Brook and Raritan, New Jersey. Johannes Hoaglandt, the father of these children lived at New York then in Brooklyn and then on Staten Island and it is supposed that he later removed to Somerset County, New Jersey. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 1893, page 53 states that George Cossart soon after his marriage sailed for Europe on a ship which was lost at sea and was never heard of afterwards, but New York show that if he was lost at sea as stated it did not occur for at least 19 years after his marriage. The will of his father David Cossart (9) dated 1736 probated 1740 shows that George was given the homestead in New Jersey. Note:See family tradition on page 11. October 29, 1733 George and Elizabeth Cossart appear at the Raritan Dutch Church to have their daughter jannete baptised - the grandmother Christina Cossart also appears as witness. July 25, 1736 George's sister Susanna Cossart and her husband Richard Conine appear at this church to have their son Johannes baptised. George and Elizabeth Cossart appear as witnesses at this baptism. This being the last New Jersey record that we can find bearing George's name. Now we will turn to the New York Records. Collections of the New York Historical Society, Volume 18 (1885), in the list of Freemen of the City of New York, page 152 date May 7, 1745 appears the name of George Coesaart, bricklayer. The name of all other Freemen of the city also appear on this list. The records of the New York Dutch Church show that on January 11, 1749 joris Kosaart and wife Elisabeth Hoogeland appear as witness to the baptism of a child. This being the last record that can be found bearing the name of George Cossart (150). All available records seem to indicate that George at about the age of 20 must have accompanied his parents to the Raritan - Bound Brook settlement in New Jersey, where some ten years later he married Elizabeth Hoaglandt and they remain in the settlement until after his father's death which it is thought occured the later part of 1739. Then some time prior to May 7, 1745 he must have returned to New York City where he is listed as a bricklayer that year and where four years later his name appears on the records of the New York Dutch Church, and the fact that no later record of him can be found indicates that he must have left New York City on his fatal journey to Europe not far from 1750. Three years later (1753) his daughter and only child was married to William Weaver, his widow Elizabeth Hoagland, died in 1792 aged 86 years. See the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 47, pp. 48-60 "The Weaver Family Genealogy". His child Jannetje of Jane (162) baptised October 29, 1733 at Raritan, New Jersey, died September 1, 1817. We find the following record in "The Hoagland Family in America", page 29: 15. Elizabeth, daughter of Johannes Hoogelandt was baptised in New York City November 20, 1706. Adrian Hoochlandt and Elizabeth Hoochlandt, widow, being witnesses. They were here uncle and grandmother. She was married by license to Joris Cousaar on September 16, 1730, the license being dated two days previous. They had one daughter, Jane, who married William Weaver. William and Jane Weaver had a daughter Elizabeth, who married John Greenwood. She (Elizabeth) died March 27, 1861, aged 92 years at the home of her nephew, Clark Greenwood. "Elizabeth would be 24 when she married and Cousaar would be 31, George Coesart was a "freeman" in 1745; son of David Coesart (9), of Somerset County, New Jersey, who died in 1740. George was an older son, but not an Executor. David's widow was to have use of the estate during her lifetime." George Cossart and his wife Elizabeth Hoeglandt had: CHILDREN: 162.Jennete (or Jane) Cossart, born October 12, 1733 (OS). | Hoaglandt, Elizabeth (I5881)

Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen. The tenth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and thirty-six, I, David Cosort of the County of Summer Set in the province of East Jersey, Gentleman, Being very weak in Body, But of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given unto God therefore, Calling unto mind the mortality of my Body, and the knowing that it is appointed for all men once to dye, Do make and ordain this my last will and testament, that is to say, Principally, and first of all, I give and Recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my Body, I recommend it to the Earth, to be Buried in a Christianlike and decent manner, at the discretion of my Executors, nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection, I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God and as touching worldy Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me in this life.

The burial place of David and Styntje are unknown to the writer, but it is believed that they are both buried in the old Presbyterian graveyard in Bound Brook, where other members of the Cossart family are buried, or somewhere in the near vicinity. However, the early burial places were usually small plats of ground on the different farms, most of which have been neglected and uncared for, where, in days gone by, many were buried, cultivation has encroached upon their borders year by year, as the ruthless hands of time has leveled the little mounds over the sleepers, and the humble slab that marked the spot has fallen prone to the ground.

Cossairt, 1936: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. 9. David Cossart, the second son of Jacques Cossart (3) and Lydia Willems, immigrants, born in New York City, June 18, 1671, and died at or near Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey, about 1740, aged about 69 years. David married at the age of 24 years on October 11, 1696 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City to Styntje Joris Van Horne, the daughter of the immigrant Joris Janses Van Horne and his wife Maria Rutgers of Flushing, Long Island. David was the last of the immigrant's children to marry, his younger brother Anthony (10) having married only two months previously. The births of all the children of David and Styntje are recorded in the list of the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City where both parents were members. This church still exists, but under the name of "Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas", now located on 5th Avenue at the corner of 48th street. A bronze plaque on the front of the building facing on 5th Avenue reads: "Reformed Protestand Dutch Church of the City of New York. Originated under Peter Minuet, Director General of the New Netherlands, A.D. 1628. Chartered by William the III, King of England. This building was erected A.D. 1872." The original church building of this denomination was located on lower Broadway in the near vicinity of the Bowling Green. David was a stone mason and engaged in the building and contracting trade in which he became quite wealthy for that period. The New York City tax records show that he was a property owner in both the north and south wards of the city, where he purchased and deeded property. This property was located in what is now the downtown business district of Manhattan, in the vicinity of where New York City's sky-line now begins. Records also show that during the time David was living in New York City, he purchased lands extensively between the years of 1700 and 1728 at and in the near vicinity of what is now Bound Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey. As early as 1700, or before that time, the lands of Rudyard, with 877 acres adjoining it, belonged to John Royce, were purchased by a company consisting of David Cossart, Samuel Thompson and Jacob de Groot, David Cossart's house stood near the corner of now East and East Main Streets, Bound Brook, N.J. His house stood until 1881 when it was destroyed by a fire that consumed several old land marks of that time. On this very same site now stands (1936) what was once the "Mansion House", later changed to the "Bound Brook Hotel", and which name has recently been changed to the "Greenbrook Tavern". David sold 300 acres to Ebenezer Trimbly, which was inherited by his son Peter, who died May 20, 1797, and left to his daughters, one of whom married Teunis Ten Eyck, and the other to Colonel Staats. In the year 1700, the 1,171 acres of the original properties were purchased by this same company of men. By 1720 Hendrick Harpending, Louis and Moses Louzanda had also become purchasers of parts of this original tract, and subsequently, in 1746, Peter Williamson, James Hude Esq., Anthony Blackford, Bartholmew Kelso, Charles McEvers, Thomas Ervine, Joseph Stansbury, David Cossart (son of David 9), occupied parts and parcels belonging to it. In front of the "Green Brook Tavern" on East Main Street, Bound Brook is the Battle Monument, a huge stone with a bronze plaque on it reading: "Bound Brook Battle Monument, this stone marks the site of the Battle of Bound Brook, fought April 13, 1777 between 500 American soldiers under Benjamin Lincoln and 4,000 British troops under Lord Cornwallis". During the battle the American cannon were located at this point. The Hoogland Family in America, pp. 26 and 27 has the following newspaper article which appeared in the newspapers of 1712: "New York, April 1712 - Some Corminton Negro slaves to the number of 25 or 30 and 2 or 3 Spanish Indians, having conspired to murder all Christians here, and by that means thinking to obtain their freedom, about 2 o'clock in the morning put their bloody design into execution and setting fire to a house they stood prepared with arms to kill everybody that approached to put out, and accordingly murdered the following persons that were running to the fire, Viz., Adrian Hoogland, Adrian Beekman, son of Geradus, merchant (stabbed on coming out of his door and died in the arms of his wife); Lieutenant Corbet, August Grasset, William Echt, Marschalk Jr., Braiser Jr., and Johannes Low. These were also wounded, Lawrence Read, merchant, Hendrick Hoogland Jr., Johannes de Honneue, John Thorp, Thomas Stersent, George Ellsworth Jr., and DAVID COESART, the first and the last 'tis feared mortally. Upon which the town was soon alarmed which occasioned the murders fleeing into the woods, where several parties are out after them. Also - "April 14, 1712. We have 70 negroes in custody. Six of these have been their own executors by shooting and cutting their own throats, One was burnt, another broke upon the wheel, and the third hung up alive, and nine more to be executed tomorrow". Sometime after this incident David Cossart retired with his family to his estates at and near Bound Brook, New Jersey. The exact date of his coming to Bound Brook is unknown to the writer, but the Somerset County Historical Quarterly says: "About 1719 David Cosart came over from New York and purchased considerable property along the Raritan at or near Bound Brook In an old church list of "The Church of the River and Lawrence Brook", dated 1717 appears the name among others that of "David Cussart", Later this same church became known as "Three Mile Run", and was located in the vicinity of what is now New Brunswick, N. J. Published in the "First Things in old Somerset", 1899, page 15, by the Rev. A. Messler, D.D. appears: "North-east of Bound Brook and between the mountains, David Cosart, Daniel Hollinshead, the heirs of Anthony Sharp and others had in possession large tracts." The "History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, New Jersey", 1881, page 651, by Snell, mentions: "The tract (No. 107, about 1 1/2 miles north-east of Bround Brook - 100 acres) east of the 1000 acre lot of Cordington's Now. 32 was surveyed to David Cussart, May 23, 1729. This lot also extended to the mountains on the north, east to Green Brook, and south to the "Proprietors Lott", afterwards Rudyards. The changes of titles to those lots or tracts are too numerous to mention". The Rev. T. E. Davis in his "First Houses of Bound Brook (1893) makes mention: "The Cossart House stood on the present site of the Mansion House. It was built in 1700 by George Cussart (David Cossart), who owned all the land between Bound Brook and Mountain Avenue, fronting on the Raritan River. George Cussart (David Cossart) died about 1740, and David Cossart, probably his son, came into possession of the property. During the Revolution the Cossart House was used as a Hotel. It was known as the "Washington Hotel", from a large swinging sign in front of it, on which was painted a portrait of Washington on horseback. Peter Staats was the landlord. He was a brother of Colonel John Staats, of Revolutionary fame, and like him was a true friend to the cause of American liberty. More than one Tory who dared to uphold the British came in the presence of Peter Staats, felt the power that lay in the strong patriot's arm. As a result of his loyalty he suffered very much from the depredations of the British soldiers. When Colonel Semico with the Queens Rangers, a band of native Americans who had enlisted in the army of Great Britain, passed through Bound Brook on the memorable raid of October 26, 1777, they stopped at the Hotel and robbed it of everything valuable which they could carry with them. After many changes and improvements the old Cossart House was entirely destroyed by the great fire of 1881." Mr. Alfred R. justice, genealogist, for the late Edward Buchanan Cassatt of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, says: "The social status of David Cossart is indicated by his will in which he is called "Gentleman", and which makes it quite certain that his father Jacques Cossart (3) belonged to a manorial family." THE WILL OF DAVID COSSART. (The following was copied from the Original will of David Cossart by Mrs. Anna M. North, Genealogist. The original will is in Somerset Box 1712-1741 and recorded in Liber C, folio 387 in the Office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, New Jersey). "In the name of God. Amen.
