• Notes

  Mr. Van Buskirk, of Lansingburgh, a descendant of the early family of Van Buskirks, at the "Bridge," and also a descendant, on the maternal side of the Van Ness family, states that the pioneer Van Ness owned a tract of 1600 acres of land, thus having a farm of 400 acres to give to each of four daughters. ...This settlement was before the Revolution. During the Burgoyne campaign the Van Ness family were in Albany, and the estate was left in charge of two colored men, who proved themselves shrewd and vigilant enough to gather and keep a large harvest away from both Whigs and Tories. When asked how they did it, they replied, "We had two flags, and could show either in a hurry." "But how did you know the Tories from the others?” "We could tell a Tory by his looks just as far as we could see." - History of Rensselaer County Mr. Van Buskirk, of Lansingburgh, a descendant of the early family of Van Buskirks, at the "Bridge," and also a descendant, on the maternal side of the Van Ness family, states that the pioneer Van Ness owned a tract of 1600 acres of land, thus having a farm of 400 acres to give to each of four daughters. ...This settlement was before the Revolution.
