He subsequently bought of Samuel Des Marest (2) a farm of several

the eighth generation David P. (married Catharine Bross), Samuel

near Norwood, N. J., December 21, 1848. He attended the common
schools of Bergen County until fourteen years of age, and then
became a clerk in the grocery business, which occupation he followed
for a number of years. In 1872 he entered as a clerk the Hudson
County National Bank of Jersey City, then under the management
of John Armstrong, John Van Vorst, and Hon. A. A. Hardenburgh.
He has been in the bank for twenty-nine years, has occupied
various positions in it, and for the past twelve years has been
its Paying Teller.
He married in 1866 Jemima, the daughter of the late Senator
Ralph S. Demarest, and has two children of the ninth generation:
