About Major Thomas Laurens van Buskirk
5. Thomas2 Van Buskirk (Laurens Andriessen1) was born 1668 in Bergen Co., NJ, and died Bef. October 20, 1748 in Reading Township, Hunterdon Co., NJ2. He married (1) Margritie Brickers Bef. 1694, daughter of John Brickers and Geertje Fonda. She was born Unknown, and died Unknown. He married (2) Volkertie Collier May 18, 1720 in Zion Lutheran Church, Greene Co., NY, daughter of Michiel Collier and Feitje Van Hoesen. She was born Bef. October 23, 1692, and died 1751.
Notes for Thomas Van Buskirk: Records on Thomas Van Buskirk reflect that he was a landowner in Bergen, Sussex and Hunterdon Counties, NJ and lived all of his life in Bergen Co. and Hunterdon Co. He was appointed a justice of the peace and an associate judge of the court of common pleas of Bergen Co., January 21, 1714/15; he was again appointed a justice of the peace for the same county , August 25, 1725. He was serving as a Justice of the Peace in Bergen Co. as late as 1730. He was also involved in military activities as he was referred to as colonel in 1724. His will was proved October 20, 1748 at Trenton. In his will he gives to his wife an equal share with his sons, of his real and personal estate. He names children - John, the eldest; Janetie, wife of Peter Van Orden, to have a trunk that belonged to his mother; Gertruy, wife of Wiert Banta, to have ten shillings; Andries, Laurens, Abraham, Pieter, Isaac, Michael and John to have the rest of his estate; Margaret, wife of John Church, and Fitie, wife of Andries Amack, to have the share of a son divided. This leads to a belief that the other children probably died earlier or had moved to other locations.
Notes for Volkertie Collier: Volkertie Collier was baptised October 23, 1692 in Albany, Albany Co., NY.

Tomas(2)Lourens(1) Andreisse Van Buskirk m. 1st Margritie Brickers; 2d, May 1720, Volckge or Volkertie Collier, y. d., on the Flatts at Lonenburg, now Athens, Greene county, N.Y. The entry in the records of the Zion Lutheran church at the latter place reads (translation):
1720 May 18 Thomas v. Boskerk of Hackensack, vid. Volkje colliers of Vlakte, Loonenburg.
In the records of the Luteran church at New York the marriage is entered under the dates May 15 and May 18, as follows;
At Lonenburg: Thomas Van Boschkerk, widower at Hackinsack, and Volckge Collier, Y.D., on the Flats, Lonenburg
He seems to have been a man of some prominence in his neighborhood. He was appointed a justice of the peace and an associate judge of the cournt of common pleas of Bergen county, January 21, 1714-15; he was again appointed a justice of the peace for the same county, August 25, 1725. Moreover, he figured in military circles, being referred to in 1724 as colonel. He seems to have become interested in Hunterdon county lands at an early date, which led to his ultimately removing thither. He was also concerned in the opening up of Morris county to settlement, as appears from this advertisement in The American Weekly Mercury, of Philadelphia, August 20-27, 1724
To be Sold by thomas Vanbuskirk of Hackensack and George Reyerson of Pacquenock, both of Bergen county, in New Jersey, a certain Tract of Land (commonly call'd or nam'd Bolens Lot;) containing about 1500 Acres Scituate in New Jersey in the county of Hunterdon, lying on both sides of a Branch of Pesayuck River, called Rockeway river about two miles above Humphrey Dewenports consisting of more than half low Land (fit for raising Wheat) with good Meadows; and the rest generally good high Land, well Timber'd. Those that are inclined to Purchase the same may Treat, and Agree with the Persons above mentioned, they being in Power to Sell the same.
The land in question must have been located about Montville, Morris (then Hunterdon) county.---N.J. Archives, II:82. He bought from John Johnson, of New York City, by deed dated June 3, 1718, for the consideration of £220, he being then of Bergen county, a tract of land on Saddle river, Bergen county.--West Jersey Deeds, Liber E, f. 128 He was again appointed a justice of the peace for Bergen county, August 23, 1725. It must have been later than that date that he took up his residence in Hunterdon county. On the occasion of the baptism of two of his childeren, in the Luteran church, Col. Abram de Peyster and wife Catharina, acted as witnesses or sponsors, by proxy. col. de Peyster was a prominent merchant in New York, and also figured lagely in the military and political events of the time. The fact that he and his wife were willing to appear as sponsors for Thomas's children, indicates a certain degree of friendship between the two families, perhaps founded on faithful service rendered by Thomas in th employ of de Peyster, or perhaps on notable military gallantry displayed by him under the doughty Colonel in some of the Colonial wars. In his will (which is without date), he describes himself as of Riding (Reading) township. The will was proved October 20, 1748 at Trenton. He gives to his wife an equal share with his sons, of his real and personal estate. He names children -- John, the eldest; Janetie, wife of Perter Van Orden, to have a trunk that belonged to her mother; Gertruy, wife of Wiert Banta, to have ten shillings; Andries, Laurens, Abraham, Pieter, Isaac, Michael and John to have the rest of his estate; Margaret, wife of John Church, and Fitie, wife of Andres Amack, to have the share of a son divided (between them). Executors---sons Laurens, Abraham and Michael Vanboskerk. Witness-- Jacobus Swart, Joost Schamp, Nicholas Wyckoff. --N.J. Wills, Liber 5, 539
