William Van Wart was pensioned by the State for worn: ' received in the service. Date of July 3, 1786, he made affidavit beibn- James Requa, Esq., that he served as a private in Col. Hammond'. Regiment, and that while in such service he was disabled by tv. wounds ; one in his left shoulder, and one above his left eye. V.. placed on the Invalid Pension roll from May 25, 17S0, which would indicate that day as the date of his being wounded.

Henry Van Wart, who was a Pensioner, died in the city of New York, Sept. 25, 1833 ; was buried in the old Dutch Churchyard.

In the State Treasurer's Accounts at Albany, is found the following: "Paid William Van Wart for transporting the baggage of

Achmutz and other Tory prisoners from Tarrytown to White Plains, July 3, 1776, ^Pi.i6s." So the Van Warts were put in charge of the Tories. They were tried and true. The Revolutionary records of the Van Warts on this Manor is very creditable, and in the French war two of that name appear upon the old Muster rolls, Abram Van Wart, aged 21, and William Van Wart, 20. This ofThe date of 1759.

The Van Warts were intermarried with all of the good old families on this Manor, notably with the Dutcliers, the Ackers, the Storms, the Sees, the Martlings, the Davids, and the Odells. In fact, there was so much of commingling of these families that it is difficult to tell where the one begins and the other ends ; whether one of the descendants is more of a Van Wart than he is an Acker, or more of an Acker than he is a Van Tassel, or more of a Van Tassel than he is a Dutcher, or more of a Dutcher than he is a Davids, or a Davids than he is a Storm, or a Storm than he is a See, or a See than he is a Martling, or a Martling than he is a Requa, or a Requa than he is a Dean ; or a Dean than lieis a Coucklin, or a Concklin than he is a Jewell, or a Jewell than he is a Buckhout, or a Buckhout than he is a Tompkins, ora Tompkins than he is an Odell.
