Capt. Daniel C Schermerhorn

Capt. Daniel C. Schermerhorn lived in Schodack, Rensselaer Co., N. Y. He owned considerable property and was evidently of importance in the neighborhood, as in fact, were all Schermerhorns of Schodack at that time. He was the owner of Schodack Island, as is evidenced by a deed for this property granted to him May 24, 1775, by Barent H. Ten Eyck. On Oct. 20, 1775, he was commissioned 1st Lieut. of the 7th Co., 4th Regt. Rensselaerwyck Battalion, N. Y. S. Militia. On Apr. 1, 1778, he was commissioned Captain in the same Regiment. He was an elder in the Reformed Church of Schodack. The census of 1790 lists his family as follows:

2 males over 16 (inc. father); 5 males under 16; 2 females (inc. mother); 6 slaves.

The old homestead of Capt. Daniel C. Schermerhorn is still owned and occupied by his descendents. His property is shown on the Van Alen map of 1785-90. It consists of three separate parcels of land comprising in all about 325 acres.
