DANIEL RUTAN
Originally published in 1900 |
DANIEL RUTAN was located at Esopus on the Hudson River prior to
1700. The place of his nativity does not appear, but he was no doubt a
Hollander. His sons, Abraham, Daniel, Jr., and Peter, came to New Jersey
and located at Aquackanonck (Passaic) as early as 1702. In 1703, Abraham
married, at Hackensack, Mary Rutan, probably a near relative of his. In
1710 Daniel married Ann Hanse Spier, of Bergen, whose parents were then
living at Passaic. In November, 1713, Daniel's brother Peter located at
New Barbadoes (west of Hackensack), where he married Gertrude Vander-
hoff. The Vanderhoffs and Rutans came to Bergen County from Albany
about the same time. Probably they were related. The Rutans settled
west of the Saddle River in the Hohokus and Paramus sections of Bergen
County, where many of them still reside.
