Anthony, son of Roeloff and Eva Bratt de Hooges Swartwout, baptized in Wiltwyck, New Netherlands on May 11, 1664... Anthony married 8 May 1693 in Bergen, New Jersey Church; he was from Esopus (Kingston)... both living in Bergen at time of wedding; received certificate to Esopus 8 May 1693...
Anthony and brothers Thomas and Barnardus bought land north of the Delaware River and stretching along the west side of the Neversink River in 1696. After Anthony's death in 1700, his son, Bernardus, took charge of his land.
Grantee Records, Orange Co., NY - C:7 on 28 Oct 1741- Roeloff Swartwout of Orange Co sold to Jacobus Swartwout of Orange for 75 pounds 1/7 part of the 1200 acres purchased by his father Anthony Swartwout...
From speech given by Mrs. D. Nelson Raynor, wife of the Port Jervis historian:
"Among five men who received a patent for land at Peenpack were Thomas and Anthony Swartwout who built at the center of Huguenot and named their home Seneahaun which is Indian for 'home near stream.'
The Swartwout home is still occupied at this writing by the family of Howard Swartwout, some of whose ancestors lost their lives during the Brant raid of 1779 on the Minisink Valley section. This is one of the best known of the original settlers."...

Jacobus bapt. 29 Mar 1696 Hurley, Ulster Co., NY d. ca. 1771
Swartwout Chronicles, page 150: Jacobus, second son of Antoni Swartwout, was distinguished for intrepidity and military ability. In 1738, he was captain of the 4th Company of Foot Militia in the Orange Co. regiment commanded by Colonel Vincent Mathews. The strong influence he wielded over the warriors of the Wolf and the Turkey (Clans) of the Cochecton Indians led shortly thereafter to his promotion to major of the regiment.

Anthony bapt. 22 Oct 1699 Kingston" (1)
"Swartout. -- The ancestors of this family were of Dutch origin, and came to this town with Gumaer and Cuddeback in 1690. They were all three interested in the Peenpack Patent, but Eager says that but one of them kept his share. Whether it was Thomas, Anthony or Bernardus, that refused to sell, we are not informed. They were said to be all large, powerful men, and well fitted for the hardships of a pioneer's life in the wilderness. One of them (actually Jacobus the son of Anthony) in 1730 was major of the militia of Orange county. He resided on the disputed territory between New York and New Jersey, and was once dispossessed by the Jersey claimants; an affair that called out all his neighbors in order to reinstate him, as related in a previous chapter."

"In the year 1690, as near as can be determined, Jacob Cuddeback, Thomas Swartwout, Anthony Swartwout, Bernardus Swartwout, Peter Gumaer, John Tyse and David Jamison, settled in the present town of Deerpark, in the County of Orange and State of New York, on and near a handsome knowll or hill contiguous to a spring brook and a spring of living water in the central part of Peenpack flats...
Peter Gumaer located himself at the southwest end of the hill... Jacob Cuddeback a few rods northeast of the northeast end of the hill... Anthony Swartwout, where the house formerly of Cornelius Van Inwegen stood, a few rods northeast of Cuddeback's place of residence...
The name of the father of the three Swartwouts is not known, but we have reason to believe it was Gerardus, as this is a name which has been given to at least one member of each Swartwout generation from the first in this neighborhood to the present; and also in the family of Harmanus Van Inwegen, whose wife was a Swartwout... In the early part of the settlement here, there were two Swartwouts who sometimes came over here from the east side of the Hudson river (probably from Dutchess or Westchester counties) to see their relatives here. The name of one of them was Jacobus (James), and he was
generally called Dickke Jacobus, in consequence of his bodily thickness... It is probable that the Swartwouts in this place either came from the city of New York or from one of the counties on the east side of the Hudson River, and that their ancestry emigrated from Holland into this country at an early period of its settlement...
It is somewhat uncertain which of the three Swartwouts remained in this neighborhood, but as the seats of Bernardus and Thomas became vacated, and Anthony's continued to be occupied by Van Inwegen, after Samuel and James Swartwout removed more distantly from the neighborhood first settled, I will make use of his name as the father of the two latter." (3)
"Inasmuch as those bearing the name of Swartwout, residing at the present time in the town of Deerpark and vicinity, are the descendants of Anthony Swartwout and Jannetje Jacobus, the remainder of this article will be devoted and the date of their baptisms as found in the Kingston church records are as follows:
Roeloff, bap. June 9, 1695
Jacobus, bap. March 29, 1696, born at Hurley..." (4)
