John was a farmer in or near what is now Wantagh, L.I.
John was the son of Cornelius Ryerson and Catherine Van Cott.
Cornelius Ryerson was the son of George and Sarah Ryerson
and was born or baptized Feb. 23, 1752. He died about 1826 at Merrick, L.I. He married Catherine Van Cott, Aug. 13, 1791 in Hempstead, L.I. He was a loyalist during the Revolutionary War and went to Nova Scotia but returned to Long Island after the end of the war.
I can go back three more generations but will have to do it in a later posting.
