    Notes:  Cornelis settled in Morris County, NJ, a mile or two from the
	    present Montville, on a large farm, probably purchased for him by
	    his father.  On this land his descendants located, and in time they
	    became so numerous that the neighborhood came to be generally known
	    as Doremus Town (it is now called White Hall).  Cornelis was on
	    friendly terms with the Indians, who were numerous in that region
	    when he first settled there.  He and Antje became members of the
	    Reforemd Dutch Church at Pompton Plains, Morris Co., NJ, 17 June
	    1739.   The will of Cornelius Doremus, of Pequanack, Morris County,
	    was dated 17 Feb. 1791, proved 4 Apr. 1803, and witnessed by Isaac
	    Haulenbeck, Peter Ackerman, and Gerrit Haulenbeck.  In it he devised
	    to his "eldest son Henry twenty shillings in consideration of being
	    my oldest son; also all my land and real estate where I now live;"
	    50 acres of Bacchus (Bocker?) creek to be sold and the proceeds
	    divided amongst all his children.  His wife, Ann Doremus, to be
	    comfortably and conveniently maintained by his son John.  Executors
	    were his sons Henry and John.  His personal estate was appriased at
	    $419.58½.

 Children:  1.  HENDRICUS DOREMUS, was b. 19 Feb. 1739 at Wechauw, Morris Co.,
		NJ.  On 25 Sept. 1760 he mar. MARREGRIETJE VAN WINKEL, who was
		a dau. of Simon Van Winkel (of the White House, at the foot of
		Willis Street).  They were both from Morris Co..  By trade,
		Henry was a tanner and currier.  It is said he learned his trade
		from Simeon Van Winkel, whose dau. he married.  He plied his
		trade on his father's farm, at the Wechauw, in the Towaco
		Valley, less than two miles east of Montville.  This valley in
		early days was referred to as Te Wechauw, and later acquired the
		name of Doremustown from this family, with numerous offspring,
		who settled here in the first half of the eighteenth century.
		The name was later changed to White Hall, where Henry had built
		an unpretentious house.  There was no hallway, since the outside
		doors opened directly into each of the two main rooms.  The
		house stood on the north side of the road to Boonton, a mile
		west of Towaco village and east of the railway crossing.  His
		descendants recalled that George Washington had his headquarters
		for a time in the east room of the ground floor and entertained
		his French officers in the orchard.  This is the house marked
		Henry Doremus on Erskine's Revolutionary map.  Near the end of
		the Revolution, he sold out, and on 12 July 1782 he bought one
		of the Cadmus farms at Slotterdam, as short distance below the
		Wesel bridge.  As an instance of the simple trust that existed
		in those days between men, it is related that the purchase of
		this farm was made, and the price paid by installments extending
		over a period of years, without so much as the scratch of a pen
		between buyer and seller.  He lived in a stone house, then some
		distance from the river; the ruins are still visible between the
		present road and the river.  He continued to follow his
		occupation as a tanner and currier, and also sold leather.
		Henry died 10 Feb. 1817; his widow died 2 Apr. 1829, aged 91
		years, 1 month, and 11 days, and both were buried in the family
		burying ground, on the Wesel road.  Henry's will was written 7
		Feb. 1814, witnessed by Richard Outwater, Albert Ackerman, and
		John Ackerman, and proved 9 Apr. 1817.  He devised to his son
		Peter "all my plantation and farm I now dwell upon from the
		Passaic River, extending easterly the full breadth of my land
		between Andrew Cadmus and Thomas Cadmus, to the line of Henry
		Van Giesen, containing 150 acres;" to son Cornelius, $10 "as a
		birthright;" the residue of the estate to his wife and his
		remaining seven children, and his grandchildren Jiles Bartholf,
		son of his deceased son Henry.  Executors were sons Cornelius
		and Peter.

		a dau. of Cornelius Spier and Susanna Vincent.  Thomas was a
		farmer, living in a stone house in Doremustown, formerly
		belonging to his brother, Henry, on the north side of the road
		leading to Boontown.  Capt. Thomas Cornelius Doremus served as
		Captain of a Hunterdon Regiment in NJ during the Revolutionary
		War.  Rachel died 16 Oct. 1821.  Thomas died 9 May 1810.  His

		in-law, and Simeon Doremus.  He gave to his wife during her
		widowhood, "this house where in I now dwell with all the
		furniture and the lands and tenements that lie about it and
