executrix and all his "sons named John, Ruloef, Mathias,
Simon, Isaac and Jacob Executors." He gives a farm to
his eldest son John and also his "silver tankard which is
marked with the first letters of my name in a cipher." He
then gives a farm to each of his sons Ruloef, Mathias, Simon,
and Isaac and makes bequests of money to each of his three
daughters Tuentje, Catharine and Ann. Some pieces of
the family silver and the family Bible are in the possession of
the family of Rev. J. Addison Henry, D.D., of Philadelphia.
The old Dutch Bible came into the possession of Rev. Dr.
Henry from his father who obtained it in the following fortu¬
nate way. Upon the death of Mrs. Catharine Rue, widow of
William M. Rue, an old Dutchman bought the Bible at an
auction sale of property of the estate for three dollars and
upon discovering the family record in it spoke to Mr. Henry
to whom he offered to sell it for the amount he had paid for
it. It is a beautiful old book bound in brown leather with
heavy silver clasps and comers.

Mr. Robert Bayles, brother of W. Harrison Bayles some

branch of the Van Dyke family in an old cemetery near Ten

steep hiU from the top of which you get a fine view of the
valley with the Neshanic and Blawenberg Mountains in the
distance. The cemetery is on the left going to Ten Mile

his will to his son Jacob Van Dyke and where both he and
his son and their wives are buried." Captain Jacob Van
