Peter Berrien, son of Cornelius, born 1672, married August 10, 1706, his step-sister, Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Edsall, Esq. He was a surveyor by profession, and became a large land holder. He served several years as a supervisor of the town, and enjoyed a large measure of public confidence. He presented the ground upon which the First Dutch church in Newtown was erected. He died very suddenly while riding from Newtown to his home, April 5, 1737. His widow died May 6, 1763. Their children, except two that died in infancy, were: Cornelius, born May 24, 1707; Samuel, born September 29, 1709, died August 29, 1742; John, born November 19, 1711; Peter, born February 6, 1714; Jane, born September 29, 1716, married Nathaniel Fish; Nicholas, born August 3, 1720; and Jacob, born April 10, 1723. The last two became merchants in New York City, and of the last two named children only Nicholas married. Of this family, Peter settled on a farm in Somerset county, New Jersey, where he died in 1781, aged sixty-seven years. He married Anna Emmons, and had sons Henry and John; and daughters, Elizabeth, married Colonel Van Dyck; Sara, married a Mr. Schureman; and Ann, married Richard Betts. The sons, Henry and John, married into different branches of the Van Dyck family, but only Henry had issue.
