Hello all,

I am a brand new member of this list as I have only just found proof
positive of my Loyalist NJ ancestry. In essence, I am working backward in
following my Dutch heritage from Northern Maine to New Brunswick and now to
Bergen County, New Jesrey. I am most interested in any information regarding
the following people:

Ryck LYDECKER. Born abt 1708. Ryck died ? . Ryck married Maritie BENSEN.
Born abt 1714. Maritie died abt 1760; she was 46. They had the following
children: (1) Garret (1729-1794), (2) Richard, (3) <Unknown sister>, (4)
Samuel Benson (1736-<1818).

Rev. Garret LYDECKER. Born in 1729 in New Jersey, Bergen Co. Emigrated in
Oct 1783 from New York City. Immigrated aft Oct 1783 to ENGLAND. Garret died
in ENGLAND in 1794; he was 65.

Richard LYDECKER.

<Unknown Sister> LYDECKER. Immigrated in 1783 to CANADA, New Brunswick, St
John Co. She married Oliver BOURDETT (Captain of the ³Tartar² With The 12th
Militia Co. of Refugee Loyalists). Immigrated in 1783 to CANADA, New

New Brunswick, Queens Co, Waterborogh Parish, bef 13 Oct 1818; he was 82. On
5 Jan 176(4) when Samuel Benson was 27, he married Catherine PROVOST, in New
Jersey, Hunterdon. Born ca 1740. Catherine died bef 1783 .

I am also seeking information about the general location in which they lived
- specifically: Hackensack Village, English Neighborhood and Overpeck Creek.
For that matter, any info about the ship ³Tartar² would be deeply
appreciated.

TIA, and regards,
