     He married Judith Lynn Haley in 1968.¹

     He married Diane M Haley at Salem, Marion, Oregon, USA, on 16 February 1974.¹

     She married Brian Daniel Dutton at Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA, on 27 August 1988.¹

     He married Elizabeth Parrott at Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 20 May 1769.^2,1

     He married Elizabeth "Betsey" Parrott at Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 30 December 1809.¹

     Herrempje [Armtie] [Arnitie] [Antje] Hanse Spier RUTTAN: "Her fist name is spelled variously as Armtie, Harmtie, Angje and Armtje." Herrempje was born at Acquackanonk, Passaic, New Jersey, USA, before 2 October 1687.^1,2 She was baptized on 3 October 1687. Religion: (an unknown value).³ As of 9 March 1710,her married name was Rutan.^4,5,6,2,7,8 She married Daniel Rutan [Ru17] at Hackensack, Bergen, New Jersey, USA, on 9 March 1710.^4,5,6,2,7,8 Herrempje died after 1735 at Hackensack, Bergen, New Jersey, USA.¹

     Hans was born. He was baptized at New York City, New York, New York, USA, on 8 April 1663. Religion: (an unknown value).¹ He married Tryntje (Catharina) Pieters at Bergen, New Jersey, USA, on 1 August 1683.¹ Hans died after 13 July 1726.²

     Daniel Rutan [Ru29] Paramus Church Records:

24, [1755]: "Van Voorhees, Jan W. and Lea - Daniel - Aug. 21. Wit: Daniel D. and Susanna Rutan."

This is probably the current Daniel. Note that the 1769 baptism for Jan W. Van Voorhees is witnessed by Daniel's brother Abraham Rutan.

Is Susanna the same as Santje? thus explaining the baptism on 27 Mar 1768 of Tryntje, parents Daniel and Santje Rutan, and possibly also the baptism on 30 Mar 1754 of Petrus van Blercom, witnessed by Santje A. Rutan and Jacobus W. Van Voorhees.¹ Daniel was born. He was baptized on 9 November 1729. Religion: Coles and Steinway gives 15. child b Acquackenonk 9 Nov 1729 so not clear that this child is Daniel.^2,3

     Johannes [Hannes] Rutan Meachem Rutan papers:

"It has been suggested that this John Rutan was the son of Daniel Rutan bap 1684 at New Paltz NY, the eldest son of Abraham Rutan who came to America in 1675. Daniel had land surveyed for him in the Ramapo Tract (later Franklin Twp) in 1714. In 1744 he deeded land there to his son Abraham who married Sara van Gelder."

This refers to a John Rutan father of Barent Retan etc. Meachem is unwilling to make the connection of John to this Johannes.

Paramus Church Records:

3, [1754]: "Rutan, Johannes and Aaltje - Abraham - Feb. 18. Wit: Abram and Saartje Rutan."

24, [1756]: "Rutan, Johannes and Aaltje - Daniel - April 15. Wit: Albert and Antje V[an] Voorhees."

Probably refers to this Johannes. Two nearby baptismal records, for 1755 and 1769, refer to brothers Daniel and Abraham of Johannes.

37, [1749]: "Rutan, Hannes and Aaltje - Hannes - Nov. 26. Wit: Dennis D. and Lea Rutan."² Johannes was born in 1725.^3,4 He married Aaltje Provost on 26 December 1746.⁵ Johannes [Hannes] Rutan married Antje Nix Brower in 1781.⁶ Johannes [Hannes] Rutan died in 1787.⁷

     Abraham Rutan [Ru30] Meachem Rutan papers:

"... Daniel Rutan bap 1684 at New Paltz NY, the eldest son of Abraham Rutan who came to America in 1675. Daniel had land surveyed for him in the Ramapo Tract (later Franklin Twp) in 1714. In 1744 he deeded land there to his son Abraham who married Sara van Gelder."

So perhaps Abraham came of age in 1744 implying b c 1723

Bergen Church Records:

84, [1764]: "743 [parents] Johannis Post, Catryntie Retan [child] Saertye bo. July 3, bp. July 21 [sponsors] Abraham Retan, Sara, his wife"

1, [1741]: "Meeks, Joseph and Sara - Catryntje - Feb. 25. Wit: Abraham Ratan; Sara Rutan."

Paramus Church Records:

3, [1754]: "Rutan, Johannes and Aaltje - Abraham - Feb. 18. Wit: Abram and Saartje Rutan."

Paramus Church Records:

5, [1762]: "Post, Hannes and Catrintje - Abram - Feb. 14. Wit: Abram and Saartje Rutan."

Paramus Church Records:

6, [1767]: "Brouwer, Abram D. - Abram - July 19. Wit: Abram and Saartje Rutan."

Paramus Church Records:

7, [1769]: "Rutan, Johannis P. and Cathalyntje - Abraham - Sept. 1. Wit: Abraham and Saartje Rutan."

Might be his brother Johannes.

Paramus Church Records:

20, [1768]: "Cobus and Willampje - Saartje - Jan. 4. Wit: Saartje and Abram Rutan."

Paramus Church Records:

25, [1769]: "V[an] Voorheese, Jan. W. and Lea - Daniel - Feb. 5. Wit: Abraham and Saartje Rutan."^3,4


Abraham was born at New Barbadoes, Bergen, New Jersey, USA.^5,6,2 He married Sarah [Saartje] Van Gelder at Acquackanonk, Passaic, New Jersey, USA, on 22 February 1734.^2,7 Abraham Rutan [Ru30] was deed on 1 July 1766 at Saddle River, Bergen, New Jersey, USA; to Johannis van Winkle.⁸

     Lena was born circa 1725.¹ As of 24 August 1745,her married name was Meyer.² She married Hannes Meyer on 24 August 1745 at Hackensack, Bergen, New Jersey, USA; That she is dau to Daniel is assumed because she is married in same church as he.²

     Hiram Smith Jr Osborn Family, p 669:

"On Apr. 29, 1823, Hiram Smith, Jr., and his wife Mary, late Mary A. Osborn, dau. of Thomas and Mrs. Hannah Osborn, widow of Thomas Osborn, of Hanover Twp., Morris County, sold land in the village of Belvidere, Oxford Township ... Mary Allen Osborn was b. 1802, d. 1872, m. 1822, Hiram Smith, Jr., b. 1799, d. 1865. Had issue."

The Richard Smith evidence supports the Osborn evidence. Hiram was born in 1799.³ He married Mary Allen Osborn on 19 September 1822.^3,4 Hiram died in 1865.³

     Mary Allen Osborn The Richard Smith evidence supports the Osborn evidence. Mary was born at Parsippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 25 April 1802.^3,4 She married Hiram Smith Jr on 19 September 1822.^3,4 Mary died in 1872.³

     Lt Thomas Osborn Osborn Family, pp 668-9:

"Thomas, b. 1753, d. July 27, 1818, ae. 64.9.15, m. 1st Mary Allen, dau. of Job Allen, b. Dec. 29, 1758, d. May 5, 1801, ae. 43.4.7; m. 2nd at Scotch Plains on July 19, 1801, both of Morris County ..., Hannah Howell Minton, dau. of Gideon Howell and Sarah Gordon and widow of Lemuel Minton, b. 1763, d. Mar. 20, 1829, ae. 65 yr., 9 mos. In the cemetery at Parsippany, N. J., are Dea. Thomas Osborn, mary as "late consort of Thomas Orsborn," and Hannah Howell Minton as "2nd consort of Thomas Orsborn."

Thomas Osborn was a lieutenant in Capt. Stephen Baldwin's Company, Col. Sylvanus Seeley's Eastern Batt., Morris Co., State Troops .... Thomas Orsborn, Jr., was a fellowbondsman in connection with the will of Simeon Van winkel of near Boon Town, Morris County, 1782 .... And, as of Hanover, was fellowbondsman in connection with the estate of Lemuel Bowers of Morris County who died intestate in 1785 .... Thomas Osborn, Jr., was on the reateable lists for Hanover Township from 1778-1806, and for Mendham Township, 1788-1794. As of Morris County, he bought 10 1/2 acres of land in Hanover on the road from Parsippany to "little town" (Littleton), also a lot of 148 1/2 acres, sold at auction by the sheriff to satisfy a judgment, Aug. 17, 1785 .... He was one of the witnesses, May 26, 1788, to the will of Samuel Parritt, of Hanover ...."

Mary Smith evidence:

"Thomas Osborn also saw Revolutionary War service as a Lieut. in Capt. Baldwin's Company Eastern Battalion, and as Adj. Gen. Stryker writes that Morris County militia did a great deal of duty, it is safe to presume Lieut. Osborn did field service during the Revolutionary War."

"My grandfather, Thomas Osborn, was born October 12, 1753, and was the son of Thomas Osborn Sr., born July 7, 1716, died Dec. 19, 1803, aged 87 years, and his wife Phoebe Hand, born Oct. 31, 1718, died Oct. 28, 1811, aged 93 years. These are taken from our Osborn Family Bible Records."
Thomas was born on 12 October 1753.³ He moved in 1787 at Parsippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA.² He married Mary Allen before 5 May 1801.^3,4 He married Hannah Howell at Scotch Plains, Union, New Jersey, USA, on 19 July 1801.³ Thomas died on 27 July 1818 at age 64.³ His body was interred at Parsippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA, at Parsippany Cemetery.³ Thomas's will was probated at Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 24 August 1818.²

     Hannah Howell Mary Smith evidence:

"Here let me introduce my grandmother, Hannah Howell, born in Troy, June 20th, 1763, on the place formerly owned by Andrew J. Smith and opposite his dwelling. At the age of 17 she married Major Lemuel Minton of the Continental Army of Littleton, New Jersey; and had six children.

Her husband, Major Minton, was at the battle of Springfield.

...

At the age of 32 she was left a widow. In 1792 she united with the Baptist Church in Morristown

After six years she married deacon Thomas Osborn, and moved to Parsippany to the house now occupied by Mr. William Benedict. Here their only child was born, April 25, 1802; my mother. She was named Mary Allen Osborn after the first Mrs. Osborn

Her [woman above] daughter, Sarah Minton, married Royal Hopkins … Their daughter Harriet Mason Royal Hopkins. He was born in Pittsford, Vermont, October 8, 1784.

Grandmother she saw her husband fall; he did not rise. Thomas Osborn had made his last stroke; he had done his last work. He died July 27, 1818, aged 65 years.

I have seen a copy of the inventory of the goods, rights and credits of Thomas Osborn and signed by his executors, Hannah Osborn and Royal Hopkins. The appraisers were Daniel Farrand and Silas Condit. After stating that the foregoing inventory had been appraised according to their best judgment and understanding was duly sworn before the Surrogate, David Thompson, Jr., August 24, 1818.

Grandmother and her daughter Mary lived in their home together until her marriage to my father, Hiram Smith, September 19, 1822.

Grandfather Osborn's father and mother made their home with him. Our family record reads thus: "Our father departed this life the 19th day of December, 1803, aged 87 years, 4 months and 19 days," so he was born in 1716. "His wife Phoebe Hand born October 31, 1718, died October 28, 1811, aged 93 years.

My grandmother, Hannah Howell Osborn's years passed on. he died March 20, 1829, aged 66 years."

Hannah was born at Troy Hills, Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 20 June 1763.^2,1 She married Maj Lemuel Minton circa 1780.¹ Hannah was a Baptist Church member at Morristown, Morris, New Jersey, USA, in 1792.¹ She married Lt Thomas Osborn at Scotch Plains, Union, New Jersey, USA, on 19 July 1801.² Hannah died on 20 March 1829 at age 65.² Her body was interred at Parsippany, Morris, New Jersey, USA, at Parsippany Cemetery.²

     William High First Settlers, p 184, lists William High and Abigail but does not mention William High Jr [but, p 314, points to him as if he were there!]:

"WILLIAM HIGH, (2d child of Jacob) and Abigail Williams, had children:

1. Eliza Marsh ...

2. Lucinda High ..."

Also, p 183:

"William, born 19th December, 1777, who married Abigail Williams, daughter of Noah Williams." William was born at Meyersville, Morris, New Jersey, USA, on 19 December 1777.^2,3 He married Abigail Williams circa 1805.² William died circa 1858.²
