Notes for Abraham VanCampen, Col.: Source: The VanCampen Family of America, by David Ogden and LeRoy Depuy. The following is an excerpt from this book: (The book is on file at the Walpack Historical Society).
In 1715 he was a private in the company of Ulster County Miltia. The first mention of Col. Abraham VanCampen in the Delaware Valley is contained in a deed dated June 1, 1731, executed by Johannes Westbrook conveying to Abram Van Campen and others a tract of land for a burying place and school house forever for the use of the inhabitants of Minisink. The tract is situated in Montague Township, Sussex County, NJ.
His first purchase of land in Pahaquarry was made on March 8, 1732, when there was conveyed to him by John Van Horne and others in New York City a tract of land containing 1666 acres called by the Indian name "Pahaqualin", later changed to Pahaquarry. The original deed of purchase was later held by Theron Van Campen of Pahaquarry. In 1814 a resurvey made the original purchase 2736 acres.
In 1736 he purchased 63 acres from Daniel Howell; in 1743 for Samuel Nevill he secured Nehlesey Island, lying in the Delaware River containing 19 acres, and in 1755 he purchased from Richard Gardner 76 acres located near Abraham VanCampen's Mill pond. The later was presumably located in the present village of MIllbrook, NJ. Its been estimated his holdings grew to 10,000 acres.
He also owned a mill in Shawnee, Pa having purchased the same tract of 54 acres from his brother in law Nicholas Depui. Col. Abrahm's house still stands, about 5 miles north of Shawnee, on the other side of the Delaware River. (Pahaquarry was part of Sussex County until 1824.) In 1739 he was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Morris County, which comprised Sussex. In 1753 when Sussex County was erected, he was, by roal decree, appointed on of the Judges of the Court of common Pleas. He served until 1766.
He was an elder in the Minisink Dutch Reformed Churches.
He took an active part in the boundary line dispute between NY and NJ. The title Colonel was gained as Colonel of the regiment of West Jersey Miltia during the French and Indian W#ars of 1755. During the war four forts were erected by the colony to protect the settlers. Fort one was at Col VanCampen's. It's ruins are about a half mile from his house. He died in May of 1767 and is probably buried in the family cemetery a few hundred yards from his house, though his grave is now unmarked and unknown.
In 1766, just before his death, he conveyed to his sons, John and Benjamin, jointly, the Water Grist Mill in Shawnee, Pa. To John he also deeded the dwelling house occupied by him in Shawnee, together with 116 acres. To Benjamin he gave him his dwelling with 112 acres in Shawnee, Pa. His son Moses received his homestead in Pahaquarry, and occupied it until his death in 1818. Abraham received land in Pahaquarry. Each of these deeds of gift stipulated that if the grantee should die without issue, the property conveyed should go to the then surviving children of Col. Abram.
Moses who was the last surviving son of Col Abraham and died without issue in July 1818, bequeathing his properties to certain nephews. At his death he was survived by one sister, Susan Romeyn of Saratoga, NY, who in 1821 breought an action in chancery for the enforcement of the stipulation in the deed conveying the various tracts to Moses. Susan Romeyn died in 1823, but the action was carried on by her heirs and tried in 1826, judgement being rendered in favor of the Romeyns. The settlement of that judgement proved disastrous to the fortunes of several Pahaquarry families.
Col Abram's will, dated October 26, 1766, and filed for probate May 25, 1767.
His house buildin 1725 is the oldest dwelling in Warren County, New Jersey. It is located on the Old Mine Road within the borders of the Delaware Water Gap National Park.
