BERGEN, NEW JERSEY DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH. Manuscript accounts, Bergen, N.J., 1668 to 1703 and 1686 to 1734.
Early records of the first Dutch Reformed Church established in New Jersey. Dutch settlers established an enclosed settlement on the west side of the Hudson in November 1660 and completed a small church the following year. Situated south of present-day Journal Square in Jersey City, N.J., the first church was an octagonal structure of sandstone and wood and remained in use for 90 years. The Reverend Caspar Van Zuiren from Long Island delivered the first sermon when it opened on 23 May 1661. The manuscript records commence in 1668, four years following the surrender of New Amsterdam to England. The first volume records contributions made to the church, denominated in florins from 1668 to 1708. The second volume is set up as an account book, which records transactions with individuals from 1686 to 1736. Names that appear in the journals include "van Neste", "Stephanis Van Cortlandt", "Thomasse", "Elisabit Van Ross[e]", "Hoogland", and many others. A superb resource chronicling the early years of this historic congregation.
Two volumes in Dutch, octavo (210 x 170mm) and quarto (265 x 200mm). Volume one: 37 pp. Wrappers, titled in manuscript on upper cover (light soiling and wear). Volume two: 243 pp. (A couple leaves loose.) Vellum, with ties (small sticker "19" to upper cover). [With:] Ledger, 1868-1875; Ledger, 1896.
