THE SLOAT FAMILY

We are indebted to Mr. John Drake Sloat of St. Louis, Missouri, for the Sloat family data. We spent many years searching original unpublished church and court records.

Mr. Sloat assembled this material on several large charts, beautifully executed and copies are on file at the New York Public Library.

It was from copies of Mr. Sloat's charts that this book of Sloat Mss was assembled.

from Charts made by

John Drake Sloat [#500 below]

Assembled by

May Hart Smith {1941}[no date on LA ms – must be earlier]

Ontario, California.

[begin transcriber notes:

I have used two different copies of the original Mss to compile this version. The first is a xerographic copy of the book in the Los Angeles Public Library (R929.2 S6338). The second, which is basically the same in the genealogy portion, but having slightly different introductory pages, is a print from the microfilm copy of the book in the Library of Congress. The main text is from the LA Library copy, with differences in the microfilm copy noted in {braces}. Notes in [brackets] are my notes. Note that the comparison is not guaranteed to be complete.

As noted on the appropriate page, I have also converted the Roman numerals used for 'unconnected SLOATs' in the original ms, replacing them with sequential numbers starting with 800 – to follow the format of Mrs. Smith in the rest of her ms.

I have also expanded where the original listed two, or sometimes even three, generations under one entry, instead using the consistent format of one family group per listing.

This document, and the referenced Genealogy of Benjamin Franklin Sloat(see #549 below), are available at http://www.BigFoot.com/~DESloat – by following the 'genealogy' link.

SLOAT - SLOT - SLOET - SLOTE - etc.

A recent genealogical publication is the "History of the Sloat family of the nobility of Holland". [by Emma Florence Sloat Holland - #437 below]

This title is rather misleading. There never was a family of that name in the Netherlands.

The ancient noble Dutch family of a similar name is the baronial House of Sloet, and it is this family which the author has in mind. Several pages, with innumerable mistakes in spelling are devoted to a very sketchy genealogy of the Sloet family*

There is also reproduced the coat-of-arms of this family in this instance called the Arms of the Slote family with explanations by Baron Slote!!

Although not specifically so stated the genealogical introduction tends to convey the impression that the American family descending from Jan Pietersen Slot coming from Holstein, Denmark, is connected with the Sloet family of ancient Dutch origin.

This is again an example of the most common mistake made in genealogical writing, which is to assume relationship based on similarity of surnames only, which is this particular instance has been carried to an absurd extreme.

There is not the slightest indication of a connection, which to put it mildly is absolutely improbable.

The American family descending from Jan Pietersen Slot is not entitled to, and should not use, the Sloet Arms.

*The writer should have consulted the excellent Sloet Genealogy published by J. A. R. Kymmel, in the Dutch Genealogical Magazine: de Wapen heraut, 1912, 13.

Henry Hudson, an Englishman in the employ of the Dutch East Indies Company, came to America in 1609 in the little ship "Half-Moon". The Palisades, the Highlands, the Red-men, the Oak Lords of the forest bowed welcome.

He dropped anchor just inside of Sandy Hook. He described the beautiful harbor as a body of water into which three rivers emptied. Soon he continued up the River on which first of all a Dutch Flag floated.

This flag bore on its center stripe A. O. C., Algemeen Ooster-Indies Campaigne. It was Dutch energy and enterprise that built the Half-Moon. Hudson sailed back to Europe; on his return he touched the shore of England where he was detained by King James and drafted as a marine in his own country.

He desired to set forth on another voyage with the Dutch Company but was prevented by the English authorities who were fearful of the Dutch enterprise which had reached a century of prosperity. Hudson discovered the Bay and River that bear his name and lost his life in the Arctic wastes after suffering untold hardships.

EMIGRATION"Amsterdam as the great commercial mart of Holland and the seat of the principle business chamber of the Dutch East Indies Company, had become the great point of embarkation for colonists going to New Netherlands. They came from all parts of the country; not only the native land - the Dutch - but fugitives from France and Catholic Netherlands and also refugees from Germany and Scandinavian countries; multitudes of whom rendered miserable by the Thirty-Years War, were seeking a home and employment in the United Provinces. Of these refugees the historian of Holland has drawn the character in happy terms.

"Nor was it more in the numbers than in the sort of population that Holland found her advantage. The fugitives were not fugitives from justice nor idlers in search of luxuries; they were the persecuted because of desire for civil liberty and a devotion to their religious ideals. It was because of their integrity and resolution that they were not tolerated by tyrannical and bigoted governments which drove them to their adopted country, peopling it with brave, intelligent, useful citizens.

"Thus Capt. Joachiem Pietersen Kuyter who had command in the East Indies for the King of Denmark and who with his friend Jonas Bronch came out in 1639 by way of Amsterdam, was from Holstein as were also Nicholas De Meyer and Jan Pietersen Slot, who arrived a few years later, all of these being sterling men.

"The small country of Bentheim, -- a part of Westphalia bordering on Overyssel, diversified with mountain ranges, forests and fertile plains and yielding to a laborious people more than the needed cattle, wool, linens, honey, etc., all of which found in Holland a ready market, and whence had arisen a free intercourse between the two peoples, -- furnished colonists whose names yet survive with us."

NEW NETHERLANDS"The Indians had threatened "to root the Dutch" as well as English and well kept their word. In the History of Harlem, Mr. Riker describes the atrocities and depredations in detail. Slaughtered remains, general devastation as appalled the hearts of even the bravest soldiers.

"The continued hostile attitude of the Indians and the fear of renewed attacks led the families to group together and farmers to go out in armed parties to gather crops. Bereft of inhabitants and desolated by firebrand and tomahawk; the current rumors of Indian threats still agitated the public mind; the prohibition against isolated settlements, and the complications arising in regard to the interests and estates of those slain in recent massacres, were so many barriers in the way of immediate effort to rescue these plains and forests from the wilderness of nature.

"This distressing period in the history of this location 1656-1660 gave origin to the village of Harlem. Many of the home owners had been killed in the massacres and their estates insolvent -- extreme measures were needed for reconstruction. The number of applicants for land being sufficient to warrant a beginning, ground was broken for the new settlement."

NIEUW HAARLEM "The village of Nieuw Haarlem was laid out in 1660 near the present site of 125th St., New York City; it is described in Dutch rods called morgans, about Spuyten-Duyvel - Sherman's Meadows and Creek. The meadows in the Bay of Hellgate were reserved for the church. This section is still known as Harlem.

"The name derived by the Dutch settlers from Heer-Lem (Lord Willem) an early prince of Friesland in Holland.

"New Harlem and New Amsterdam like the two great cities after which they were named lay apart "about three hours journey".

"Among the earliest to take up residence in the infant settlement were the Slots. For the security of the settlers, all of whom were required to be well armed, the government furnished 8 or 10 regular soldiers from the fort known as Fort Amsterdam, as the Indians were yet a source of anxiety. The actual panic arose when that fierce and bloody war broke out between the settlers and Esopus Indians, in September 1656. Many of the settlers forsaking bouweries, crops and cattle, fled to New Harlem.

"In March 1660 the people of New Harlem were notified that "since it was highly necessary to keep a good watch in the newly-settled village", the Council had adopted military officers including Jan Pietersen Slot, Sergeant. The Council called upon the inhabitants to obey the commands of Sergt. Slot. This was the first step taken for the establishment of local authority.

"The settlers having steadily increased in numbers, deemed themselves entitled to a Court of Justice, with original conditions under which they had settled here. The new Board of Commissioners included as Schout, Jan Pietersen Slot.

"Strong in their religious attachments, natural in a people but recently emerged from great convulsions in the church, and shaken of the old clogs of superstition and error, the faithful at Harlem set a high value upon God's word and ordinances.

"Doubtless they felt keenly the loss of those advantages which they had enjoyed in Holland where not only cities but every hamlet had its pastor and house of worship. The promise of a pious orthodox minister and of aid in sustaining him was a great inducement for them to settle here. As yet there were no funds toward supporting a minister but it was of all importance to secure preaching of the gospel within their own bounds.

"With neither a church nor a minister the benefits of the sanctuary could be enjoyed only by making the eight-mile journey by land or water to Fort Amsterdam. In September 1660 there was instituted a Sunday afternoon service in a private chapel on the present site of St. Marks church. No mention is made of a church edifice until four years later.

"The Dutch, French and Scandinavians were foremost to face the dangers and hardships in this section; to wake the slumbering forests and turn the virgin soil, contributing to a well-ordered society. The leading crops needed for home consumption were: wheat, maize, buckwheat, peas and flax. The pioneers who first planted the seeds of civilization, religion and food-stuffs will be remembered as builders of a great city of the universe."

DUTCH INFLUENCES -- RELIGIOUS, CIVIC & EDUCATIONALIn the time of William the Silent of Holland, when England was burning, torturing and mutilating the Anabaptists, Holland declared tolerance and held out her hand in welcome to refugees. In Holland the latch-string was always outside to the exile and the stranger - Huguenots, Alsatians & Lorraines as well as Pilgrims. Refugees from religious persecutions found haven in the land of Holland. William the Silent was the first human being to practice religious and civic tolerance.

It was a Dutch king, William III of Orange who mounted the English throne, demanded tolerance and trampled bigotry under his feet; truly a Heavenly Prince.

When New England drove religious subjects to Rhode Island; when Virginia Cavaliers drove her non-conformists to the borderlands, it was the Dutch Colony of New York that offered protection under the banner of William the Silent. The Dutch prospered under religious freedom and walked the ways of peace and happiness.

A famous tomb-stone reads: "Here lies Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence". Puritans say he got it from England; Carolinians plead the Mecklenburg Resolution. The fact is old William the Silent in the Union of Utrecht, used the very language which is incorporated in our Declaration of Independence

From whence came the Supreme Court of the United State? There never was a Supreme Court in England, the vaunted source of all our jurisprudence. It was from the Dutch Republic the idea of a Supreme Arbiter came. England never had a Supreme Arbiter. England had no written Constitution; it has none today; this also we derived from the Dutch Republic. Old Netherlands was a Republic form of government; its constitution secures religious freedom. Each of the seventeen provinces had a written constitution of its own. It was Holland who taught us all men are created equal.

The Holland Dutchman liberalized the Puritan who had resided in Holland thirteen years. Taught him the merits of universal education and sent him forth. The Dutch of Amsterdam established the essential principles of the free school system in America.

The West India Company decreed that "all the colonies shall endeavor to find ways and means to provide for a minister and a school-master". A professional school-master came over in answer to a request and a school in New Amsterdam was organized in March 1637. Schools for the common welfare of the public, supported by public money in which all the people had common rights, originated with the Dutch and came from Old Netherlands to New Netherlands and the policy was to maintain schools by public tax.

When England took possession of New Amsterdam in 1664, she abolished free schools and colonial legislature in the interest of schools proposed by the Dutch were vetoed by the English.

Modern civilization is indebted for all that is prized most highly to the smallest countries: from Judea we received the Christian religion; from Holland we received the principles of religious and civic liberty.

PETER MINUITPeter Minuit came over in 1626 and became the first Governor of New Amsterdam 1626-1633. He was well qualified for this office having served in the West India Company and being familiar with the old country and the new.

At that time there were Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists and Huguenots in New Amsterdam and it was due to the influences of Peter Minuit that religious freedom was enjoyed.

He built Fort Amsterdam, a ware-house, a mill, a brewery and a ship of some importance.

On the 5th of May 1626 he met with a group of Indians near what is now the Battery, and purchased the Island of Manhattan. The sale price was a few glass beads, a piece of red cloth, a few knives and other trinkets valued at about $24. A price which seems absurdly low today but statisticians claim that $24 at interest compounded to date, would amount to more than the assessed valuation of Manhattan Island today.

PETER STUYVESANTPeter Stuyvesant was the fourth Governor of New Amsterdam, perhaps the most capable and the most tyrannical as the great war lord. He decided that the homes of the settlers were too close to the Fort for safety and ordered all the lands within a distance of two-hundred-fifty Dutch rods of the Fort to be confiscated and the homes destroyed.

Protests were hurled at the chief magistrate; delegates denounced the action of the Governor who enjoyed their belligerent attitude. However, he compromised by paying damages and granting larger and better lands away from the Fort.

Stuyvesant persecuted the Lutherans and the Baptists and the Quakers and became so inhuman in his treatment of the Indians the Indian attacks and raids were the price paid for his extreme folly and wickedness. His reign reflected both on the settlers and the Home Land.

WALL STREETTroubles with the Indians originated with Gov. Stuyvesant's unjust treatment with the Savages. In 1652, when hostilities broke out, a wall was built across the lower end of the Island to protect the settlers from Indian attacks. This gave the name to Wall Street, one of the most noted streets in the world.

The City Hall was erected on Wall St., and the Declaration of Independence was read from the City Hall balcony by order of Congress and there Washington took the oath of office of President of the United States.

ENGLISH RULE"Cabot looked at it first"

In 1664 came the English rule to New Amsterdam. The English King Charles II granted his brother, the Duke of York, a patent covering Long Island and the mainland from Connecticut to the Delaware, including the Dutch possessions. The Duke sent a squadron to usurp possession -- a fleet of four vessels and 500 soldiers with 100 cannons under command of Col. Richard Nicholls, fitted out secretly, reached New Amsterdam harbor in August 1664 and demanded complete surrender.

New Amsterdam with 150 soldiers and 20 cannons, at the mercy of the English, reluctantly surrendered. The Dutch preferred peace with the same privileges accorded the English colonists, to a prolonged and perhaps fruitless contest. Col. Nicholls took possession of Manhattan Island and re-christened it New York, raising the English flag in September 1664. Thus England came into possession of most of the Atlantic seaboard.

Col. Nicholls was the first English governor. He was popular with the people and lived at peace with the Indians.

The English proceeded to erect forts and batteries. It was at Castle Garden at the Battery that many years later a grand reception was given in honor of La Fayette when he visited the United States in 1824. Here at the site of the historic Battery, Jennie Lind sang. But all is changed in modern New York and on the site of the old Battery is now located the New York Aquarium.

NEW YORK CITY20,000 acres of Manhattan Island was ground too poor to feed a deer; a mass of rocks where fish could not spawn nor beavers build a dam - today is the most valuable piece of real estate of its size in the world.

New York City is one of superlatives. It is the largest (population), the richest, the noisiest; its buildings are the tallest; it has more hospitals, more slums, more parks, more unemployed workers than any city in the world.

Trinity Church at the head of Wall Street still stands. In Trinity church-yard rest the remains of Sir Henry Moore, Sir Danvers Osbourne, Robert Livingston, Alexander Hamilton, the Earl of Sterling, William Bradford, Robert Fulton and General Phil Kearny. In this famous church-yard also is a monument to the memory of the martyrs of the Revolution who died in old Sugar House Prison.

Colonial New York is full of great history. All honor is due the Dutch founders who have long since taken sacrament with the dust. We place garlands on their brows here and now. God of our fathers who this nation founded, we pray that the influences of the Netherlands and the virtues of the Dutch founders shall not perish in this Republic.

ADMIRAL JOHN DRAKE SLOAT -134-

"John Drake Sloat was born 26 July 1781; baptized 21 October 1781, near Goshen, New York; he died 28 November 1867, Staten Island, and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York. He was son of John and Ruth (Drake) Sloat; a posthumous son. His father an officer in the Revolutionary War who was accidentally killed by a sentinel. Ruth Drake , the mother, was of English descent.

"John Drake Sloat was appointed midshipman in the Navy 12 Feb. 1800; he served until the end of the naval war with France, chiefly in the West Indies on board the flagship President; was discharged from the Navy when peace was established 1801; he entered the merchant service as commander of his own vessel and made several voyages, losing heavily on his ventures. On January 10, 1812, he returned to the navy with rank of master and went to sea on board the frigate United States under the younger Stephen Decatur, participating in that ship's successful fight with the Macedonia. The cruise ended his active service in the War of 1812; however on the arrival of his ship at New London, she was blockaded there and kept in port until the end of the war. On July 24, 1813, he was commissioned Lieutenant. On November 29, 1814, he was married to Abby Gordon born 1795; died 1878, daughter of Capt. James Gordon and his wife Susanna Grover.

"Obtaining a furlough, he made a voyage to France in 1815 as master of the schooner Transit. It is said that there he was party to a plan that miscarried to convoy Napoleon and his suite to the United States. Returning to the Navy in 1816 he was on duty alternately at the New York Navy Yard and Portsmouth Navy Yard until 1820-1. In 1821-2 he served in the Pacific on board the Franklin and in 1822-3 in South American waters on board the Congress. At the age of 42 he received his first Naval command, the schooner Grampas and in 1824-5 he cruised among the Windward Islands engaged in the hazardous work of suppressing piracy. On March 21, 1826 he was promoted Master-Commandant and on March 6, 1837, Captain taking rank from February 9. A period of service at the New York Naval rendezvous was interrupted in 1828-31 by a tour of duty in the Pacific as Commander of the St. Louis. At Callao during the Revolution in Peru he gave refuge to several leading Peruvian officials. In 1840-44 he was commandant of the Portsmouth Navy Yard.

"On August 27, 1844 he was chosen commander of the Pacific Squadron, a position of much responsibility by reason of uncertain relations between United Sates and Mexico. He arrived at Mazatlan, Mexico, November 18, 1845 and remained there seven and one-half months with his flagship Savannah. In February 1846 he received from George Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy, secret and confidential orders dated June 24, 1845. These were decidedly unwarlike. The ships of the squadron were to be assiduously careful to avoid any act that might be construed as an act of aggression. In case of a declaration of war by Mexico, however, he was to occupy San Francisco and blockade or occupy such other ports as his force might permit. Later he was ordered in event of hostilities to dispose of his entire force so as to carry out most effectually the objectives specified in the earlier instructions.

"Receiving word on June 7 that the Mexicans had invaded Texas and had attacked the American forces there, he sailed for California the next day on board the Savannah, convinced that the hostilities of the Mexicans would justify "commencing offensive operations on the West Coast". He arrived at Monterey the 2nd of July; five days later, after consulting with the American Council who counseled the postponing of action and after examining the defenses of the town and preparing various official documents, he landed a detachment of seamen and marines under Capt. William Mervine who hoisted the American Flag over the Custom House and read a proclamation taking possession of California and extending over it the laws of the United States. Sloat has been severely criticized for delaying action for five days, but it has also been held that in annexing California, he exceeded his orders. On July 6, he sent one of his officers to take possession of San Francisco; a few days later all California, north of Santa Barbara was in possession of America.

Suffering from ill health, he turned over the squadron to Commodore Robert Field Stockton on July 23, and returned to the United States by way of Panama, arriving at Washington in November. His conduct of affairs in the Pacific was warmly commended by Bancroft who described the military movements of Sloat as ably conceived and brilliantly executed.

He was Commandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard 1848-51; on special duty 1852-55; with the bureau of construction and repair; part of the time in charge of the building of Stevens Battery at Hoboken, New Jersey and on September 27, 1855 he was placed on the reserved list. In 1862 he was promoted to Commodore and 1866 to Rear-Admiral, both with retired honors."

ADMIRAL SLOAT MEMORIALSA memorial window to Admiral Sloat, Admiral Farragut and Commodore Stockton was placed in St. Peters Chapel, Mare Island Navy Yard, California 1903.

At Monterey, California, a monument stands, erected to the memory of Admiral Sloat, one whose whole life was spent in gallantly serving his country, ambitious only to do his whole duty in the line of service and without a stain to mar his career.

One of the attractive murals in the history room of the Los Angeles Public Library represents Admiral Sloat raising the Flag of Stars and Stripes at Monterey.

The Lick monument was erected 1894, dedicated to the City of San Francisco by James Lick in honor of the pioneers of 1847. At the top is a figure of California with the Grizzly Bear at her feet. The bronzes just beneath illustrates scenes during the days of mining; of covered wagon immigration. Below are five medallions of Lick, Drake, Sutter, Freemont and Saire. Around the pedestal are names foremost in early California history -- Vallejo, Marshall, Sloat, Larkin, Cabrillo and Portola. Four large figures and separate pedestals represent the early days.

Early in the summer of 1846 a small group of Americans decided to take possession of the Pacific Coast in the name of the United States. The early pioneers to California were called Los Osos, or The Bears, by the natives. Thus the Bear was adopted as the symbol of the official California emblem. The Bear Flag was raised by General John C. Freemont June 14, 1846 at Pueblo Sonoma.

The first Flag of Stars and Stripes in California was raised by Admiral John Drake Sloat at Monterey September 9, 1850. The following day Capt. Montgomery raised the National Emblem at San Francisco. It became the 31st in the constellation of Stars.

AUTHORITIESJames Riker, author of the "History of Harlem", offers much valuable and interesting material in connection with the Dutch settlers at Harlem. The original Harlem village records are in Old Dutch. Mr. Riker has used translations of these for the basis of his Harlem history and to him we are indebted for data referring to Jan Pietersen Slot and his two sons, Pieter Jansen Slot and Jan Jansen Slot.

John Drake Sloat -#500- of St. Louis, Missouri, spent many years gathering, compiling and charting Slot-Sloat family records, generously dedicating his work to descendants of Jan Pietersen Slot. To him our grateful appreciation for much of the material contained herein. Mr. Sloat is grandson of Admiral John Drake Sloat described on pages 6, 7 and 8. Mr. Sloat writes:

"Surgeon-Major William Corbusier, U.S. Army retired, son of William Morrison Corbusier , a most courteous gentleman, has rendered us much valuable assistance in obtaining the early records of our family. We wish to acknowledge and extend thanks for his co-operation and kindness." See -#183- .

Mr. Joseph Elting Sloat -#541- of Norwood, New Jersey, has also given much time to research of Slot-Sloat families and to him we are indebted for many additions included in his branch of the family as included in this work.

Mrs. Anderson H. Travis (Emma Reynolds), cousin of the writer, both descended from Rev. John Sloat -#105-, has located Bible and cemetery records and has contacted descendants which has enabled us to record our branches of the family.

------------------------------oOo--------------------------------

THE NAME { = Lock }The name of Slot-Sloat is found among the Dutch records {in New Amsterdam} with many spellings: Slot, Slott, Sloote, Sloet, Sloot, Slut, Slutt, Sluth, Sloth, Slod, Slodt, Slote and Sloat.

The children in one family are recorded thus:Peter Slot, 1803; John Sloote, 1805; Sally Slotte, 1808; Mary Sloth, 1808; Isaac Slote, 1814.

Because often more than one spelling is found attached to one family, it would be impossible to assign any one spelling to any one family or group of families. For that reason records herein will show the spelling S L O T for the earlier generations as being the most popular use of that time. Later generations will be recorded with the present spelling S L O A T regardless of the spellings found in connection with these later groups.

[In the index of this latest edit, all names are together as SLOAT no matter how spelled in the ms.]------------------------------oOo--------------------------------

IN MEMORIAM[this entire page only present in the LA ms]

"Each name recorded here is a Memorial -- perhaps the only memorial -- of a human heart that once lived and loved; a heart that kept its pulsations through some certain period of time and then ceased to beat and has mouldered into dust. Each had its joys and sorrows; its cares and burdens; its afflictions and hopes; its conflicts and achievements; its opportunities wasted or improved and its hour of death.

***

"Each date had a great significance to some circle of human hearts. Memorials are not of death alone but of life also. They died but they had lived. The mind thinks of unseen worlds which they inhabit. All these names are memorials of human spirits that have passed from time to Eternity, ready or unprepared, in youth or maturity, they went into Eternity as we are going.

***

"So, beyond the river of time that flows between, walk the brave men and beautiful women of our ancestry, grouped in the twilight upon the shores. Distance smooths away defects, and with gentle darkness rounds every form into grace. It steals the harshness from their speech and every work becomes a song. Far across the gulf that ever widens they look upon us with eyes whose glance is tender and which light us to success. We acknowledge our inheritance, we accept our birthright; we own that their careers have pledged us to noble action. Every great life is an incentive to all other lives."

Jan Pietersen Slot, Van Amsterdam, the patentee, was ancestor of numerous families Slot-Sloat of Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties New York and of Bergen County, New Jersey. His descendants are today found throughout the nation even in Pacific Coast states.

Jan Pietersen Slot removed from Holstein, Denmark to Amsterdam, Holland where he married and two sons, Pieter and Jan, were born and reared. This family was no doubt the first of the name to come to America but no record has been found giving the date of arrival. It is probable they arrived about 1637-8. They were members of the Dutch Reformed Church.

"Manhattan 1624-1639" by Edward Van Winkle, Recording Secretary for the Holland Society, states: Jan Pietersen Slot came to this country with Nicholas de Meyer and refers to his land as the "bowerie" where he operated a farm near Van Keulen's Hoeck.

The first map of Manhattan drawn by Jean Wingboon, 1639, shows plantation No. 9, Jan Pietersen Slot. It is described as being 8 morgans (about 16 acres) and lay West of Broadway near the present Trinity Church.

In 1662 he sold house and lot to Dirck Jansen, cooper.

Among the names of pioneers, who in 1660 first located in the new settlement at New Hasrlem, is found that of Jan Pietersen Slot. Governor Stuyvesant gave attention to the distribution of lands among the settlers. Jan Pietersen Slot received one of the first assignments. He is recorded as owning lots No. 7, 8 & 9: "Ay Marty 14 AO 1662. J. Piters'n Slodt, 24 morgans." These grants were given the official seal of the West Indies Company.

An original patent dated 4 Jan. 1664, signed by (Gov.) P. Stuyvesant, shows Jan Pietersen Slot acquired 8 morgans of land at Van Cuelen's Hook at a point in the Great Valley situated opposite No. 3, at Harlem, Island of Manhattan. This document remains intact in the State Archives at Albany. A photo-stat copy is in possession of the writer, translation of which appears below.

Jan Pietersen Slot sold his land at Harlem (patent of 4 Jan. 1664) to Johannes Van Vrelan and on 20 April 1665 he bought other property at the Bowery from Governor Stuyvesant, but he again sold to Capt. Delavall for f.10, a parcel of meadow on the north side of Barnett's Island which he held by ground-brief from Stuyvesant. In 1686 he and wife resided on Wall St. and in 1703 in the South Ward.

Jan Pietersen Slot was called the "Clear-Headed". He was a carpenter and builder as well as a dealer in real estate, as recorded transactions of buying and selling indicate. He was a man of some means and rated high in the estimation of the Dutch government and occupied positions of trust and honor.

He was Chief Magistrate at Harlem 1660-5; served as Schepen (Councilor and Financial Secretary) and as Schout (Sheriff). In a document dated 11 May 1662 at Court of Harlem, he signed himself -- I. P. The choice of Magistrates confirmed 17 Nov. 1662 "who for certain reasons shall yet be continued for one year", included Jan Pietersen Slot.

Apprehension over Esopus Indians became serious because of uprising and when the magistrates increased their vigilance, the commissary distributed 30 pounds of powder, 2 Sep. 1662, a pound each to several persons, among whom was Jan Pietersen Slot.

He was in command of the Military Company and Heer Rooy Meester (Lord Surveyor of Buildings) and Senior member of the Board of Commissioners which office he held until the end of the Dutch rule. As Senior member it devolved upon him to give attention to the religious needs of the community.

Pieter Jansen Slot came with his father and brother Jan from Holland. He sold his property, received from his father, to Resolved Waldron and removed to Bergen, New Jersey where, May 14, 1657, he bought 25 morgans (50 acres) of land at Communipaw on which he located in 1665. He and wife joined the church at Bergen, N.J. 1 Apr, 1665.

He sold out Pemberbogh on Bergen Neck 30 Jan 1671 and in March the same year bought a place in New Amsterdam to which he removed, but in 1673 his house, with others, was torn down to enlarge the grounds about the Fort and he received a patent for land in Beaver Street, near Governor Anthony Colve. Later he sold this land for 17 ankers of good rum.

In 1677 Pieter hired a farm at Esopus (Kingston-on-the-Hudson) to which place he had gone to follow his trade as builder. Returning in 1683, he and wife went to Bergen with letters to the Church there. They were soon back in New Amsterdam living for years "on the property which they owned at Crommesshe, near Stuyvesant's Bowery". He sold this 10 Apr. 1688 and soon after this Pieter Jansen died.

(See Crommesshe - Gramercry, on next page)

A list of citizens enrolled as soldiers 12 June 1663 at Harlem includes the name: Pieter Slote.

CROMMASSIE - GRAMERCY From The New York Times, Jan. 31, 1937"A reference to a lot 'near Grommersie' in the records of the Common Council of the City of New York for the year 1716 sent research workers and editors of the Historical Survey of the WPA on a hunt for the authentic origin of 'Gramercy Park'.

"The records of the Common Council for 1716 contain an entry on May 23 recording the petition of Sarah Van Arnem 'Being a very poor widow woman with two fatherless children to maintain and bring up' for a plot of ground on which to make a home ad a garden. Her petition was granted, and she obtained the life tenure of a 'piece of land 150-foot in breadth and 200 foot in length lying on the west side of John Hernes lott near Grommersie'.

"For many years the origin of the name of Gramercy Park has been in dispute. It was pointed out by the supervisor of early Dutch records of the survey, who directed the research in the subject. Confusion of the subject has existed not only in popular magazine and newspaper articles, but even in scholarly and historical circles. Although several of the many theories appear logically sound, th true source of the name is at least obvious.

"The Dutch word for 'crooked knife' was the original name of Gramercy Park. The most obvious of the popular explanations is that Gramercy is derived from 'Great merci', a portion of the early French expression 'May God reward you greatly'. This was the common meaning in English from as early as the sixteenth century, used primarily as 'Thank you'. One might stop here did not a rival school of thought insist that more logically, the park was originally Cramoisi (Gramoisy), a word that came from the Arabic through the early French meaning crimson, and is now in good usage 'deep red' because a hill of that color sand stood near this location.

"In examining early New York maps, however, one finds that the Crommessie Farm lay on the side of the present Gramercy Park. According to Valentine's Manual of 1852 this name came form the Dutch. In earlier papers we find that James Duane purchased the Crumshie Farm in 1780. Still further back in the minutes of the Common Council in 1710 the farm was referred to as Cromshe, Crommessie and Crummeshie. Working back from this we find a reference to Crummeshie as the land of Pieter Jansen Slot and in 1674 Edith Stuyvesant mentions this farm in a letter as Crommessie.

"Clearly the farm was originally named by the Dutch. In the usage of the period Crommessie could have either of the two definitions: Crommeshie meant 'winding brook' -- there still exist in Holland many survivals of 'shie' as river in local geography. And certainly we have authentic evidence that in the early days of Manhattan a brook rose west of what is now Madison Square and wound its way to the East River at Kips Bay.

But Crommassie was more probably the corruption of Crammessie, 'Crooked knife'. Of this we are convinced by a glance at the early records and map of Crommessie Farm. The shape is clearly that of a crooked blade, such as carvers use. It is not hard to see how the word became Anglicized into the more conventional Gramercy. The later changes of the spelling were inclined to spell phonetically. Gramercy Park is on the site of Pieter Slot's Crooked Knife Farm."

Jan Jansen Slot came from Holland with his father and brother Pieter.

7 Jan. 1663 Jan and Pieter are listed in a private company of militia at Harlem, organized to guard against Indian attacks. In 1672 Jan joined Capt. Stemwyck's new troop of horse and in 1689 he was made Ensign. He was a warm partisan of Leisler.

In 1672 his name appears on a list of property owners on the West side of what is now Pearl Street between Franklin Square and Wall St. and known as Smith's Valley.

In 1674 John Johnson Slott was taxed; class of property 3rd; nationality Dutch; estimated wealth (equal to) $1,200. On the tax list of 1676, John Johnson, 12 sh., 6 d.; Feb. 1677 Jan Jansen had a credit on the books of the City of New York of f.70 in wampum. (Minutes of the Common Council)

22 April 1674, Gisbert Elbertsen deeded land at Maspeth's Kills, Long Island, to Jan Jansen Slot with a lot on the south side of Burger Jorissen's house. (NYGB Vol. 53)

THEOPHILUS ELSWORTH from The Elsworth Family of New York Cityby Howard S. F. Randolph, published in - The New York Genealogical and

Biographical Record, Vol. 64; pgs 154-9.

The progenitor of the Elsworth family in New York City is often mistakenly spoken of a Christopher Elsworth. His name is really Theophilus Elsworth, as can be readily determined from his will and from numerous other references.

The error arose because the Dutch in New Amsterdam -- true to usual custom of giving nick-names, -- called him "Stoffel" or "Stophel". Theophilus was not a Dutch name and Stoffel was the usual abbreviated form of Christopher or Christoffel.

The name Elsworth was also written in many different ways by the early scribes. The favorite spelling among the Dutch was Elswaert but as many as fourteen other forms are found. Theophilus himself spelled his last name "Ellsworth" in his will, but from the time of the sons on, the family has spelled the name Elsworth.

Through the kindness of Mr. William J. Hoffman, the proclamation of the marriage of Theophilus Elsworth to Annetje Jans has been located in the archives of Amsterdam, Netherlands. This important document shows that Elsworth was a native of Bristol, England and was born there about the year 1625. It is found in the Proclamation Book at Amsterdam. D.T.B. 464, fol. 227: 1 June 1647. (translated) "Theophilus Elsworth from Bristol (born there), mariner, 22 years old, (parents still living) living Smith Alley, and Annetje Jans from Amsterdam, 24 years old, living in Loomsloot. (in margin: banns have been published in the English church)" He emigrated from Netherlands between 1648 - 1652; probably about 1650, but no record has been found.

On July 8, 1656, Stoffel Eduwartsen bought a lot in the Smith's Valley on the East river, on Pearl St. This is the same property which he disposes of in his will. At sometime Elsworth was able to purchase the Small Burgher right. This was confirmed to him on April 14, 1657, under the name of Stoffel Elderszen.

Elsworth bought other real estate for on Sep. 17, 1658 there appears a legal proceeding regarding a certain transfer. It is evident that he had prospered a little since he had arrived from the Netherlands, but he was by no means affluent. On March 18, 1661, when he was summoned before the Burgomasters for non-payment of his rattle-watch dues, he says: he has no money and has earned none for some time, but he offers to deliver 100 pieces of fire-wood for one year's dues, which is accepted and he is promised that if the wood should be more than he owes, he shall be paid a refund.

In 1663 he was employed to pilot some Englishmen of the neighborhood to the Newsinghs Indians from whom they wished to purchase land. On Dec. 9, 1663, Creiger saw the English vessel sailing down the Raritan River, and inquired whence they came. Capt. Creiger and others had been sent by the authorities to New Amsterdam to learn whence the English came and to remonstrate with them. The skipper Stoffel Elsworth expalined his mission and the next day Elsworth with his sloop and passengers all went aground in the Kil, - The Raritan River. Creiger warned the Englishmen that they should not undertake to buy lands from the savages without proper permission from the Director-General and Council.

Valentine describes Stoffel Elsworth as a "boat builder of respectable standing who resided on the Street (Smith's Valley) for many years". April 19, 1665 he assessed fl. 1. to provide quarters for the soldiers.

Nothing more is found regarding him in the early records, until his will was probated Feb. 21, 1715-6; dated Apr. 9, 1706. He was born about 1625, age at death 81. In his will he makes no mention of his wife who had probably predeceased him.

Of his wife, Annetje Jans, little is known.

Benjamin Sloat and wife Sarah Demarest went to Pennsylvania as noted by the birth records. ------------------------------oOo--------------------------------

"Few are aware of the migration, before the Revolution, of a large number of families to the vicinity of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and from there subsequently to Kentucky. The late Rev. J. K. Demarest of Gettysburg is accredited with this information. He found baptismal records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Conewago that contained New Jersey settlers.

"According to York County, Pennsylvania, records, this colonization began about 1765 and stopped about 1771. The route led them by Lancaster and York, Pennsylvania and the first settlement at Conewago. The road was called "The Low Dutch Road". The tendency was to go West as the Indians withdrew from the coast. Doubtless the first settlers in Kentucky were from Bergen County, New Jersey. They settled near White Oak Springs, Mercer County. About 1,000 went to Kentucky but in 1817 only 5 Dutch families remained. Of the 167 families represented by baptisms, about one-third were from Bergen Co."

Steven Sloat inherited property and acquired more; he was a man of wealth and position; his property was named Sloatsburg.

He was Capt. in the Cornwall Regt., Orange Co. Militia in the Revolutionary War. His name appears on a list of field officers named by the committee of Cornwall precinct, Orange Co., for the Eastern Regiment on the North side of the mountain.

Commission dated 15 Sep. 1775 and 21 Feb. 1778.

------------------------------oOo--------------------------------

[Note that the mss. show "(Johannes, 23)" as the father of #46 thru #54 – but see the listing for #5, where #23 is assumed to have died in infancy since #24 is also given the name Johannes – and the mss. give no listing for #23, and the listing for #24-Johannes lists these children as his – so in this transcription "(Johannes, 24)" is shown for these individuals as their father.]

John Sloat and Tamor Lounsberry of Hackensack did have a son John who married Achsan Woodruff and resided in Western New York. See #50 and #77.

The 1790 census and 1800 census gives John Sloat 2 and John Sloat 3 of Dutchess Co. It is probable that John Sloat 3 is the John Sloat who m. --- Ward and possibly connected with John Sloat and Sara Conklin. See p. 19. [in orig – see bottom of page for Jan Jansen Sloat - #3]

SIXTH GENERATION page 52

REV. JOHN SLOAT #105Rev. John Sloat was born in Carmel town New York, 1779, son of Elias and Elizabeth (Hart) Sloat.

He married Esther Raymond, native of Dutchess County, N.Y. His parents were Methodists and members of the first class formed in Carmel and were often led by Benjamin Abbott, thru whose influence and teaching John became seriously inclined toward religion.

Beginning at an early age, John began seeking spiritual guidance and ever reverted with devout gratitude to the time and place when the Redeemer said to his troubled spirit: "Peace, be still".

He was a resident of the old Cortlandt circuit, then embracing twenty-eight appointments extending from the Highlands on the north to Sing Sing on the south and from the Hudson River east to Connecticut.

Mr. Thacher was preacher in charge of receiving Mr. Sloat into the church, baptizing him by immersion in the "Big Pond", then unfrequented and little known, now Lake Mahopac, a noted summer resort. About a year later he received license to preach and labored zealously for two years.

He was recommended by the Quarterly Conference of Carmel to preach the Gospel and was ordained by Bishop Roberts in 1807. He was first sent to labor in the Highlands by William Thacher, associated together with Barney Matthias and Cyrus Foss. He traveled on foot by night and by day, through forests and over cliffs for the first year, then the circuit bought him a horse.

His first text was "Come unto me all the ends of the earth and be ye saved". This invocation was the keynote of his subsequent preaching. He believed in a free and full salvation.

But Mr. Sloat was not long strictly itinerant. He soon assumed the duties of evangelist, and few "circuit riders" of his day, performed more religious labor than he and his journeys back and forth across the mountains were marked by results of the most signal character. It was during his journeys that his powers began to be felt and his usefulness acknowledged. His geniality and his simple, fervid eloquence moved hundreds to the standard of the Master. He often said: "Give me a place for the sole of my foot and I will preach the Gospel".

Among his associates was Cyrus Foss, then a young man, who followed in his pathway, forming classes.

Mr. Sloat lived in a continual revival; his first class of six members soon numbered sixty. He continued his work westward to the Hudson, then crossed the River and held quarterly meetings at West Point. Some of the soldiers accepted the sacrament in full dress. It was about 1810 when the first Society was formed at West Point and the Society continues until this day.

And so in season and out of season, in school-house and barns, in kitchens and open air he labored diligently and often in his latter years was pleased to meet those who years before had accepted the Savior by his appeals.

Church edifices in those early days were rare: the old building at Shrub Oak always a favorite spot with him, and a little tabernacle on Mount Airy near Coldberg being about the only ones. The first meeting in Peekskill was held in a {room about twenty feet square. The Society in charge of J. Z. Nichols was small and discouraging at first but later revivals, hymns and prayers brought many into the fold.} [bottom of page cut off of LA ms]

Mr. Sloat was associated with Elijah Woolsey, known as "son of thunder"; with Rev. Henry Eames, Freeborn Garretson and Marvin Richardson, great and reverend souls whose names now stand as historic memorials.

SIXTH GENERATION page 53

For many years Mr. Sloat lived on his own quiet farm near the place of this birth, laboring for his Master until extreme old age palsied his frame. Up to within a few years of his death he preached frequently. He officiated at the burial of more than 3,000 persons and performed the marriage ceremony many more times than any minister in that section. He was ever a great favorite with the people. His distinguished personal appearance, his snow white hair, his exceedingly rich, finely modulated voice, together with his gentleness of character, and above all his undoubted piety, made him the beloved of all who knew him.

In his family he was ever the center of affection, ruling them with religious love, even when he was so palsied as to require constant attention. His funeral was largely attended at Shrub Oaks, the scene of many of his labors and triumphs where his friends long ago had secured for him a pleasant place to rest in his own new tomb. All classes flocked sadly to his burial feeling that a father is Israel had gone.

Rev. John Sloat died 22 December 1862 aged 83 years.

HENRY ELTING SLOATHenry Elting Sloat resided at Port Richmond, Staten Island. At the age of twenty he was appointed constable and rode horse-back to serve papers.

In 1832 he was appointed by President Andrew Jackson as Captain of the Staten Island Light Horse, an organization of mounted militia.

He acquired property extending from above City Hall at St. George to the Bay where the New York ferries dock. Most of this he sold to Commodore Vanderbilt about 1850.

Late in the 1830's he located at Tappan Landing, now Piermont, where he engaged in dock building. There he built a pier extending a mile into the Hudson River, for the Erie Railroad. Failure to obtain a charter necessitated a terminal in New Yoek State. He built the first Erie Railroad bridge spanning the Delaware River at a point near Sparrow Beach. He also built portions of the railroad.

Henry Elting Sloat is described as a large man over six feet, well proportioned. He had a brilliant mind and drew up contracts with the ability of a lawyer, and was active in politics.

He died at the home of Joseph Elting Sloat at Old Chester, now Rockleigh Bore, Bergen County, New Jersey.

Jenkins Sloat (#354) and wife resided on Staten Island and owned land where Brough Hall now stands, Port Richmond. Later they lived in Jersey City where they owned a home.

Jenkins Sloat was in business with his father building many docks along the water fronts of New York and New Jersey. They built part of the Nickle Plate Railroad, Grove and Montgomery Sts., Jersey City.

In ____[blank in LA ms] {Later in life} he purchased a 165 acre farm in Old Closter now Rockleigh Bore, Bergen Co., New Jersey, on the western slope of the Palisades where he raised fine trotting horses.

[From p. 75 of LA ms. This page is missing in the editor's copy of the LC ms – but can be assumed to be the same.] Clara Hugle Sneden was educated at the Misses Cole's School for Young Ladies at the parsonage and at a Young Ladies Seminary, Freehold, New Jersey. She is described as high-spirited, intellectual and talented as a pianist and vocalist; she was a lover of horses.

Her father, Capt. Lawrence J. Sneden, born 1800, Tappan; died 1870, was the son of John Sneden, Jr. and Phebe Gosner. He had a ship yard at Sneden's Landing on the west side of the Hudson opposite Dobbs Ferry. Here he built sailing vessels: sloops (one mast) and schooners (two masts).

John Sneden, Jr., descended from Clas (Nicholas) Sneden who arrived at New Amsterdam from Holland in the ship St. John the Baptist in December, 1657. John Sneden, Sr., was on the side of the patriots in the War of the Revolution. The family, like many others, was divided: others were loyalists.

Nicholas Sneden resided at Hemstead, Long Island; Westchester, town of Eastchester; and later generations on the Hudson. He owned a farm at Oyster Bay. The family owned lage farms and acquired the Ferry to Dobbs Ferry.

The Gosner family descends from Anneke Jans through Bogardus and Brewer families.

Nancy Taulman, b. 1803, was Clara Hugle Sneden's mother. She died 1883 at Old Closter. She was the daughter of Major Peter Taulman of Tappan Landing. He was born 1757 at Old Closter; died 1835; buried in the Tappan church yard. His wife, Mary Neale, was the daughter of John Neale of Burlington, New Jersey. Major Taulman was a Capt. in the Continental line during the Revolutionary War and was a member of the Society of Cincinnati.

Donar Taulman came from Amsterdam, Holland, to New Amsterdam in 1657. ------------------------------oOo--------------------------------

LINE OF LEWIS SLOAT page 116

It has not been possible to place Lewis Sloat in the Sloat scheme, connecting him with the main branch, although there is no doubt that he is descended from Jan Pietersen Slot. {The given name would indicate he is also from Jan Jansen S.} The descendants of Lewis Sloat are given here hoping that some time records may be located that will give this branch of the family its rightful place. The following records are from charts prepared by John Drake Sloat. Mrs. Nellie Sloat LaMoreaux {res.}of Cassanaga, Florida is a descendant of Lewis Sloat.

UNCONNECTED SLOATS page 127

"Note: Most, if not all, of the unconnected branches of our family which will be found so designated, we believe to be descended from Jan Jansen Slot and Judith Elseworth, his wife. It is evident from lack of church records that they either did not have their children baptized or they were baptized in some church whose records have been lost or destroyed. We refer to the records of the French church which was the Huguenot church at Kinderkamack. Another was destroyed by fire, namely, the Ponds Dutch Reformed Church of Bergen County, New Jersey whose records dated back to 1710. These records were destroyed by the burning of the pastor's home.

In the preface of the History and Records of the Hackensack Church, published by the Holland Society of New York, account is given of these lost records."

Revisions and Corrections to this Transcription page 142

Revisions and Corrections to Transcription01 Oct. 1999 – published for first time on the Web – Appendix A is just barely started, but wanted to get the rest on-line for SLOAT researchers.

29 Oct. 1999 – corrected parentage of #46 - #54. Was given in mss. as #23, but the main entry for #24 lists these as his children. Transcription corrected to show #24 as father on each main entry. Also added wives of #24 to his 'child of' listing.
