Biography

Lucas Jacobse Schermerhorn was the youngest child of Jacob Janse Schermerhorn and Jannetie Egmont Schermerhorn.[1]

He was born about 1675 in New Netherland, probably in or near Beverwyck (now Albany, New York). He was still a child when his father died in about 1688. His eldest brother, Ryer Jacobse Schermerhorn, looked after him. Ryer's will, dated April 5, 1717, gave Lucas the use of his lands "in the Raritans in East Jersey") "for six years, at the annual rent of one pepper corn" and left Lucas "all my cattle on said land."[1]

Lucas married Elizabeth (Lysbeth) Damen on 1 December, 1700.[2][3] Ten children were born to the marriage.[1][2]

As of April 1707, Lucas and Elizabeth were recorded as being residents of Dutchess County, New York.[3]Some time after that they settled in New Jersey.[1] In 1711 Lucas was living in Raritan, New Jersey.[2]

In 1715, Lucas was listed on the muster-roll of Capt. Thomas Farmer's Regiment of N.J. Militia. In 1725, he was one of the three ruling Church Masters of the Readington Reformed Dutch Church.[2]

Lucas is believed to have died Oct. 27, 1743[2]in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.[4]

Research Notes

Richard Schermerhorn treated this Schermerhorn family as the "lost branch" of his Schermerhorn Genealogy until the family records were found on the backs of two old maps.[2]

What is the source for the marriage date of December 1 1700 and location of DRC in "New York"? I've not seen the date or location details in any sources.

Later: OK, I see that the date is in the Selover-Slover genealogy, but is there a primary source?

Luykas Schermerhorn (Schermerhorn-10) and Lucas Jacobse Schermerhorn (Schermerhorn-8) are not duplicates. They are father and son

I changed him from New Netherland Settler to "New_Netherland_Community_1674-1800" since he was born 1675 (please see the project's Criteria page).
