Possible Origins of the Haring Family
of Nieu Amsterdam

     There is reference in the Archives of Hoorn that a Pieter Janszen Haring (1610, Hoone, Holland - ?) sold a house in Hoorn in 1632.  Pieter Jansz & Maritje Pieters were listed parents at the 7 Dec 1633 baptism of Jan Pieterszen, residing at Grote Havensteeg, Hoorn, Holland.  Sometime between 1634 and 1667, Pieter Janszen seems to have sailed with his family to America.*.

 * Ferth Haring Fabend: A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies, 
1660-1800. (Rutgers Univ. Press, 1991). p 253.

1        Jan Pieterszen Haring [1*] (18 Dec 1633 in Hoorn, North Holland*^/** - 7 Dec 1683 in New York, NY*) son of Pieter Jansz & Maritje Pieters*, of Hoorn, Holland. Having sold a house in Hoone in 1632, it might be safe to assume that Jan Pieterszen arrived in America between 1634-1662.

The first authentic record of Jan Pieterszen Haring in New York is the baptism of his daughter, Vroutje, in the Durch Reforemed Church of New York City on 3 May 1667. However, the Haring Family Notebook, copied  (between 1824-1830) from the Haring Family Bible by Samuel Kip Haring (1804-1849), stated owner the Haring bible, lists: Jan Pieterszen  married on Whitsuntide (8 May) 1662  in Nieu Amsterdam to Margarietje (Grietje) Cosyn (2 May 1641 at New Amsterdam - 1724 at Tappan, Orange [now Rockland], NY), daughter of Cosyn Garritsen VanPutten & Veroutje, and widow of Herman Theuniszen (?- abt.1658) who she had married 1^st at Nieu Amsterdam RDC on 19 Apr 1654.  According to the Haring Family Notebook, the marriage on Whitsuntide (Monday, 26 May) 1662 was the "first recorded in the New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch (Peter Stuyvesant's) Chapel at Stuyvesant's Bowery, NY, beyond the wall of New Amsterdam."

"John Haring the third son of Peter Haring of Hornin [sic] of North Holland was born on the 26th day of December 1633 Anno Domini and was Married on Witsuntide 1662 to Margaret Cozine a Widow the ceremony was performed in the New Dutch Church on Stuyvesant's Bowery New York

"these were the first couple ever married in that church the said John Haring departed this life December the 7th 1683 his widow the said Margaret afterwards became the wife of Daniel DeClark She lived to the age of Ninety."**

Samuel Kip Haring,  stated owner of the Haring Family Bible from
which the Haring Family Notebook was copied between 1824-1830.

This purported "first marriage" at the Bowery Chapel appears not to have been recorded by Dominie Henricus Selyns, whose posting was to the RDC Brooklyn but ministered as needed at the Stuyvesant Bowery Chapel. Therefore, there is no record of the Pieterszen-Cozine marriage of 1662 in the RDC listing of New York marriages. All of the other dates recorded in the "Haring Family Notebook" which were supposedly taken from the now lost "Haring Family bible" appear to agree with primary sources, giving some credence to this marriage date.*** [A "Greitie Cosynns" is listed as a member of the New Amsterdam RDC on 12 October 1664.  One Jan Pieterszen is listed as a member of the congregation on 28 July 1670.]

Jan Pieterszen, like his father Pieter Janszen in Hoorn, became one of the Schepens to govern "The Outside People" beyond the wall on Manhattan Island.  [By Dutch tradition, the office of Schepen was one passed down within families.] In 1681 Jan Pieterszen Haring headed a group that obtained a deed from the Tappan Indians of the Lenni Lenape Tribe for a large tract of land, and on 24 Mar 1686 the group obtained a patent from Gov. Dongan of New York (Tappan Patent of New York). Before he died in 1683, Jan Pieterszen had purchased three shares in the names of himself and his eldest sons, Peter and Cosyn. While he never lived to settle on his new lands, his widow and several of his descendents (Cozyn, Cornelius, and Abraham) moved to the fertile Tappan region.

Subsequently, Grietje married 3^rd in 1685 Daniel de Clark/de Clerq, the new leader of the Tappan community. [Daniel De Clerq, en zyn. h. v. (and his wife) Grietje Cozyns.

          George Lockhart never settled the lands of the Lockhart Patent  granted on June 27, 1687. It was sold through several hands until inherited by Henry Ludlow in 1725. Within the next 25 years, Ludlow conveyed a small part of the tract then in an area that was part of  Closter (some 200 acres that was  eventually to lie in Rockleigh Borough) to Abraham Abramse Haring (1709-1791). He was a grandson of Haring Family patriarch Jan Pieterszen Haring, purchaser of Lands in Tappan from the Tappan Indians. 

2vii.     Abraham Jans Haring [27] (24 Nov 1681, RDC Bowery, NY - 18 Mar 1772, Tappan, NY*), son of Jans Pietersen Haring & Margarietie "Grietje" Cosyn, married at Tappan on 24 Jun 1707** Dirckje Tallman (6 Aug 1687, Nyack, NY - 4 Oct 1768, Tappan, NY, Cem.*) daughter of Harmen Tallman & Grietje Minneus of Nyack, NY.  The family moved to the Tappan, NY, area and settled on a portion of the Haring tract in the Tappan Patent to the west of Tappan Road in what would become Northvale and Norwood.

There, ten of their thirteen children survived.

    i. Jan [335] (24 Feb 1708-?),

3ii     By 1758  Col. Abraham Abramse Haring [336] (24 Oct 1709, Tappan RDC* - 29 Nov 1791, Tappan, NY, Cem.*) first son of Abraham Jans Haring settled on a portion of the Haring tract to the west of Tappan Road in what is now Northvale and Norwood. He married 23 Nov 1731 at Schraalenburgh RDC Maria Demarest (17 Nov 1709, Hackensack - 11 Oct 1783, Tappan, NY, Cem.*), dau. of David Demarest & Sara Bertholf of Schraalenburgh, NJ.

Abraham A. Haring & Maria Demaqrest had five children:

    i. Abraham Abramse [4111] (1734- 1780),
   ii. Mary [4112] (1735-?),
  iii. David A. [4113] (1737); 
  iv. John "Jan" [4114] (22 Oct 1743* - 4 Jan 1779* , burial at RDC Tappan, Orange [Rockland], NY), m. Geertje Sickels (2 Jan 1747 at Sickeltown, Orange [Rockland], NY - 28 Jul 1827, burial at RDC Tappan, Rockland, NY).  Children include: Abraham Haring [5221] (1767-1801, m. 1786)
   v. Sara [4115] (1749-dy).**

Abraham and Maria are buried in the Old Cemetery at Tappan.

** Firth Haring Fabend,  A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies,

Strong of purpose and endeavor, he produced a variety of crops for family and market. Sometime between 1744 and 1756 (most likely about 1746), Abraham A. Haring Sr. acquired 200 acres in Closter (now Rockleigh, part of the Lockhart Patent) from Henry Ludlow.  Since he continued to live on his farmstead west of the Sparkill, this purchase was likely for his sons. He acquired other lands (purchase dates unknown) bordering on the farm including "lot of fresh meadow" situated near the Sparkill (currently part of the Rockleigh Golf Course). This described as "...the farm adjoined that to the east of John Ryken". He also purchased "...one lot from Johannes Nagel..." the neighbor to the south. Because Jan Ryken settled his land in 1744, the Haring purchase was subsequent to that year.

Through his frugality he prospered, lived, and died, and passed on to his heirs his lands. He saw in his lifetime his Church split into two opposing factions. He left the Tappan Dutch Reformed Church, eschewed the Schraalenburgh D. R. Church and in 1719 joined the Hackensack  Church - the original Dutch Reformed church in the region.  His wife, Maria, joined the Tappan D. R. Church in 1732. He also heard the roll of the British drums echo in his valley. Maria and Abraham A. are buried in Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery in Tappan, NY. His will, written in 1786 and proved in 1791, mentions grandsons David [5203], Abraham [5205] and John [5208], sons of son Abraham [4111], deceased; daughter Mary [4112]; son David Haring [4113]; daughter Sarah [4115] wife of Abraham A. P. Haring [416]; and Abraham [5221] son of son John [4114].*

4i.      The 2nd Abraham A. A. Haring [4111] (22 Oct 1734-c.1780), also known as Abraham A. A. Haring and Captain Abraham A. Haring, was firstborn son of Abraham A. Haring, Sr. [336] & Maria Demarest. He married three times: firstly circa 1756 Catherine Lent (1735-1758), poss. daughter of Hendrick Lent & Elizabeth Storm, g-granddaughter of Ryck Abramsen Lent and g-g granddaughter of Abraham Ryck.

2nd Abraham A. and Catherine Lent had one son,

    i. Abraham [5201]  (4 Mar 1758, dy), neither son nor mother survived.

Abraham A.A. married secondly on 25 Jun 1760 Jannetje Verbryck (1732-?, of Monmouth Co.). 

2nd Abraham A. and Jannetje Verbryct  had by three sons:

   ii. David A. [5203] (1760-1801),
  iii. John A. [5204] (?-?), and
  iv. Abraham B. [5205] (1766-?).

Abraham A.A. married thirdly on 20 Mar 1770 Margrietje Blauvelt (26 Feb 1749-?, daughter of Jacob Blauvelt & Maria Haring [464]).

2nd Abraham A. had two children with Margrietje Blauvelt:

   v. Maria  [5207] in 1774 and
  vi. John (Jan) A. [5208] (1780-1854).* 

* Firth Haring Fabend,  A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies, 
1660-1800 (Rutgers Univ. Press, 1991). 

Captain Haring is credited with construction circa 1758 of a fine Dutch farmhouse on the west side of Closter Publick Road where it turns easterly toward Snedens Landing.* The house stands proudly on the site today, known as the Abraham A. Haring House. The 2nd Abraham was a Deacon at the Tappan Dutch Reformed Church.*

* Emma Winner Rogers, Diary of a Country Woman, p. 19. (New York 1912)

By 1763 2nd Abraham was listed as 1st Lieutenant in the Militia - presumably the Orange Town Militia since the boundary line was not settled until 1769. By the outbreak of the Revolutionary Way, Abraham A. Haring was a patriot with the "Bergen County Rangers" and Captain in the "New Jersey Troops".* A Revolutionary War muster roll included his name with such Harington Township names as Blanch, Nagel, Huyler, Blauvelt and Ferdon. He was made Captain in late spring or early summer of 1777. Once, when the British came for him, he was away collecting taxes. The second time, between mid 1779 and winter 1780, he was not so lucky. He was dragged from his farm before his youngest son, John A. was born.** 

The only documentary source to explain tragic fate of Captain Haring is the affidavit of fellow soldier James Riker. Riker served as an orderly Sergeant in a company commanded by Capt. Abraham Haring, "who was taken prisoner by the enemy and brought to New York and here died in prison."

Most prisoners were kept on infamous prison ships in Wallabout Bay, Brooklyn. Few survived prison ship incarceration; an estimated 11,000 patriot corpses were thrown overboard into Wallabout Bay or buried in trenches on the Brooklyn shore.*** Capt. Abraham A. Haring did not return.

Apparently the elder Abraham A. Haring [336] never transferred title of the farm to Capt. Abraham A. Haring [4111] , his eldest son, although the Captain paid taxes on the property.* In 1786 the elder Abraham A. [336] drew his will** and devised the property to his grandsons (surviving sons of Capt. Abraham A. [4111]. Son David A. [5203] was to be heir to 100 acres of the property to the north, including the Capt. Abraham A. Haring homestead. The southern 100 acres of the original  Abraham A. Haring property would pass to John A. Haring [5208].

5ii.      David A. Haring [5203] (15 Dec 1760, RDC Tappan - 2 May 1801, Tappan, NY, Cem.), first son of Capt. Abraham. A. A. Haring & Jannetje VerBryck,  continued to live in the Abraham A. Haring House.

He married first, circa 1783, widow Elizabeth Blauvelt (19 Sep 1754 - c.1790), and had three  sons: 

    i. Abraham D.  [6391] (1784-?),

  iv. Elizabeth [6393a**] (1795-1870***)  and
   v. David D. [6393b*] (1800-1889). 

David A. Haring died in 1801 at age 40 and is buried in Tappan Cemetery. His will, dated 1802****, mentions wife, Maria, to whom he left 7-2/4 acres of meadow and woodland,  and four sons, not named. Executors friends John David Haring and Samuel G. Verbryck. Inventory £1,315.06. The orphans court of Bergen County divided his estate among his heirs. His eldest son, Abraham D. Haring received the "old homestead lot" [Abraham A.A. Haring House] of eight acres and the house on it, which he sold in 1805 to Moses Taylor. The house, built in 1758, is still standing and in excellent condition. The other children also inherited portion of the property: Jacob D. Haring [6392] received adjoining lands; Elizabeth [6393a**] received 14 adjoining acres;  nd Samuel D. [6393] received 24+ adjoining acres.**
