Editor's Note:
Excerpt from The Hugenots on the Hackensack: A Paper Read Before the Huguenot Society of America in the French Church Du Saint-Esprit, New York, April 13, 1885; Before the New Jersey Historical Society, at Trenton, January 26, 1886; Before the New Brunswick Historical Club, February 18, 1886, and In The paper which I propose to read to you this evening will chiefly comprise matters so purely local, that I can scarcely hope to secure the interest of this national society. The actors were men who were not great in either Church or State. Much will necessarily be said about my own ancestor whose name I bear, and perhaps some may consider my narrative more appropriate to a family reunion, than to an annual meeting of the "Huguenot Society of America." But having been assured that the members of this Society will be glad to hear about the fortunes of any one, even of the smallest and least of the Huguenot colonies in America, I am here to tell you what I know about the Huguenots on the Hackensack, in the Province of New Jersey. The fact that there ever was a colony of Huguenots on the Hackensack is probably known by very few people, and these few are doubtless indebted for most of their knowledge about it to the admirable history of Harlem, by Mr. James Riker. I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to Mr. Riker for a knowledge of many facts which he has, by his faithful and patient investigations, brought to light. On page 392, of his book, is a very valuable foot note on this colony, containing statements which I have verified by original documents, and to which I have been enabled to add somewhat. This little settlement was, so far as I know, the only one looking to organization and permanency that was made by Huguenots in the province of New Jersey, though individual families did locate here and there, and a little cluster of them settled in the neighborhood of Princeton. The colony was composed of very few families at the beginning, and the number was never increased to any great extent by accessions from without. Very little is to-day known about its origin and history, even in the immediate vicinity of the original settlement, so thoroughly have all traditions about it died out.
