Originally published in 1900 |
|
THE TOERS FAMILY.-The first of this family in New Jersey were
Laurence Arents Toers and Claes Arents Toers, and, no doubt, they were
Hollanders. They were at Bergen as early as 1672, where, on August 15th
of that year, Laurence married Francyntie Thomas. Claes married, July 8,
1684, Jacomina Van Neste. Both bought land at Bergen in 1677 on which
they permanently located. Laurence's issue were twelve children, among
whom were John, Thomas, Marv, and Aaron. Claes, who died in 1730,
had eight children, among whom were Judith, Pietertie, Arent, Nicholas,
and George. Of Claes's children only three survived, among them being
Arent, who received his father's property. Arent married, in 1699, Ann
Spier and reared a large family. The descendants of Laurence and Claes
are still quite numerous in Hudson County.
