Christoffel Hooglandt

In 1711 he purchased 104 acres in Piscataway township, Middlesex county, on the east side of the Raritan river (across the river from Somerset). Helena was one of the first members of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick. In 1727, they removed to a farm on the Millstone river in Somerset County. On October 26, 1727, he purchased from Dr. William Beekman of New York lot #1 of about 250 acres near Griggstown. The 28' by 40' barn that he erected was still standing as late as 1882. He supposedly had a mill.

In 1706, "Stoffel" Hooglandt was taxed on 118 acres of land in Flatlands, L.I. In 1712, "Stoffel" Hooglandt was paid 30 gl. by the town of Flatlands for one and a half months care of Pieter Tull, a pauper. The town poor were cared for by private families, and, as in this instance, their lot would sometimes fall "in pleasant places."
