Richard Samuel Edsall, II

"Biography
Richard Edsall Sr. inherited the 2,000 acres in Hackensack, Bergen Co, NJ from his father [Samuel Edsall] In 1734. Brother-in-law, Jacobus DeKay traded 60 acres in NYC (the present site of Columbia University) for a much larger tract in the Wawayanda Patent, then supposed to be all in Orange County, NY. DeKay settled on the southern portion of his tract, which turned out to be in Vernon, Sussex Co, NJ, and Richard soon followed him, living there until he died.

Richard Edsall, was a surveyor, who resided in Newtown, afterward in Hackensack, N. J., and finally settled in Orange County, N. Y. He was married three times, and is the ancestor of the Edsall family of Queens County by his first wife Kezia Ketcham (daughter of Philip Ketcham of Newtown, LI) , and of the families of that name in Orange County, N. Y., and Sussex County, N. J., by his third wife Hillegonde De Key. She was the daughter of Capt. Jacobus De Key by his marriage with Sarah Willet, daughter of Col. Thomas Willett, of Flushing, and his wife Helena, daughter of Capt. Elbert Elbertse Stoothoff, of Brooklyn.

At Hackinsack, in the Province of New Jersey, at a place called Edsall's Point, there is a very good plantation to be SOLD. It contains upwards of 300 acres of upland and meadow, whereon there is a good house, barn, and other outhouses, a good orchard, and about 100 acres of the land cleared. There is also a good grist-mill upon the premises, conveniently situated so that a boat may come to it. The land is well timbered and watered. Whoever is inclined to purchase the same, may apply to Richard Edsell living upon the premises, who will dispose of the same on very reasonable terms.
On 27 may 1735, Richard & Hila [Hilligonda] Edsall, (said Richard is oldest son and heir of Ruth Edsall, deceased), yeoman, of Bergen Co., New Jersey to Michael Vreeland, yeoman, of same, L625.
