VIRGINIA GLEANINGS IN ENGLAND; The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography p 144: The son Robert Porteus, born 1679, died August 8, 1758, lived at "New Bottle," now called " Concord," in Gloucester. Hodgson, in his life of Bishop Porteus, says that the Bishop had " a singular picture which, though not in the best style of coloring, was yet thought valuable by Sir Joshua Reynolds as a specimen of the extent to which the art of paintings had at that time reached in America, and he himself very highly praised it as exhibiting a faithful and interesting representation of his father's residence."
Robert Porteus was appointed to the Council in 1713, and remained a member of that body until he removed to England sometime between 1725 and 1730. He settled in the city of Turk, and afterwards at Ripon. To the latter place he was probably led by the fact that his wife was Elizabeth (died January 20, 1754, aged So, buried at St. Martins, Coney street, York), daughter of Edmund Jenings of " Ripon Hall," Virginia, and formerly of Ripon, Yorkshire.
In Ripon Cathedral, on the wall of the south aisle of the choir, is a mural tablet with the following inscription :
"Near this Place
Are deposited the Remains
OF Robert Porteus, Esquire,
A. Native of Virginia, and a Member of His Majesty's Council,
Or Upper House of Legislature in that Province,
From thence he removed to England,
And resided first at York, afterwards at this Town,
Where he died August 8, 1758,
Aged 79 years."
Robert Porteus was the father of Beilby Porteus, born at York May 8, 1731, died May 14, 1808, successively Bishop of Chester and London. Ed.]

From Wikipedia:
Augustine Herman, First Lord of Bohemia Manor (Czech: Augustin Herman, c. 1621 – September 1686) was a Bohemian explorer, merchant and cartographer who lived in New Amsterdam and Cecil County, Maryland. In the employment of Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, he produced a remarkably accurate map of the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay regions of North America, in exchange for which he was permitted to establish an enormous plantation that he named Bohemia Manor in what is now southeastern Cecil County, Maryland.[1]
Land rights to the area now known as St. Augustine, Maryland were granted to Herman by Lord Baltimore prior to 1686 but the Herman family was never able to lay proper claim to the title.[1] Chroniclers have spelled the surname variously: Herman, Herrman, Harman, Harmans, Heerman, Hermans, Heermans, etc. Augustine Herman himself usually wrote Herman, which is now the accepted style. He frequently added "Bohemiensis" ("the Bohemian", "the Czech"), as a suffix.
Early life
According to the most reliable evidence, Augustine Herman was born about 1621 in Mšeno, Kingdom of Bohemia; the location he himself stated in his last testament. The claim that he was born in 1605, as the son of Augustine Ephraim Herman, and Beatrice, the daughter of Caspar Redel, has never been established, nor has the belief of some that he may have been the son of Abraham Herman, the evangelical pastor of Mšeno. Accordingly, the claims that his father was a wealthy merchant and councilman of Prague, who was killed in 1620 at the Battle of White Mountain during the Thirty Years' War, remains hearsay.
Herman was trained as a surveyor, and was skilled in sketching and drawing.[1] He was also conversant in a number of languages, including Latin, which he successfully applied in his diplomatic assignments with the British.
Undocumented stories
There has been much speculation about Herman's early years. It has been asserted that he made a trip to North America in 1633, when he allegedly signed his name witnessing the Dutch purchase of lands from the Lenape Native Americans near the later site of Philadelphia. Some also claim that he made voyages to the Dutch Antilles and Surinam and that he claimed to be "the first founder of the Virginia tobacco-trade," which began in 1612. All these claims are undocumented and highly questionable. The witnessing cited above may have been a mistranslation of the original Dutch document, and all these events would have required him to have been born about 1605, married at 45, and lived to over 80.
Career
New Netherland
In 1640, working for the West India Company Herman arrived in New Amsterdam, now Lower Manhattan in New York City. Due to his strong personality he soon became an important member of the Dutch community and its commerce. He was an agent for the mercantile house of Peter Gabry and Sons of Amsterdam, and was one of the owners of the frigate "La Grace," which was engaged in privateering against Spanish commerce. In partnership with his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Anna Varlett Hack and George Hack, he became the largest exporter of tobacco in America.[2] Trading furs and tobacco for wine and slaves, he quickly became wealthy and the owner of considerable real estate, including most of what is now Yonkers, New York.
At that point he was one of the most influential people in New Amsterdam, he was elected in 1647 to board of the Nine Men a body of prominent citizens organized to advise and guide the Director-General of New Netherland.[1] In time he would chair this Board. Unhappy with the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant Herman was one of the signatories of a complaint, the "Vertoogh," which was sent to Holland in July 1649, "to represent the poor condition of this country and pray for redress." Stuyvesant could not let this challenge pass, and proceeded to take measures to assure Herman's financial ruin. In 1653, Herman was briefly imprisoned for indebtedness.
In 1651, on behalf of the province, Herman negotiated the purchase of Staten Island and a large tract along the western shore of Arthur Kill from what is now Perth Amboy to Elizabeth.[3]
Herman married December 10, 1651, while he was in New Amsterdam. His wife was Jannetje Marie Varleth, the daughter of Caspar Varleth and Judith Tentenier, of New Amsterdam. They had five children, Ephraim, Casper, Anna, Judith and Francina. Jannetje died before 1665, and sometime after that Herman married again, this time to Mary Catherine Ward [dubious – discuss] from Maryland.
Delaware Bay
Stuyvesant would send Herman on a diplomatic mission to New England to resolve concerns about rumors of a Dutch and Native American alliance against the English. Of greater lasting importance, in 1659 he was sent to St. Mary's, Maryland with Resolved Waldron to negotiate the dispute between New Netherlands and Maryland's proprietor Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore over ownership of the lands on the western shore of the Delaware Bay, that were claimed by both parties.
Herman first articulated the argument that Lord Baltimore's charter was only good for lands that had not been previously settled, and that the short-lived, 1631 Swanendael settlement(usually spelled Zwaanendael), at present day Lewes, Delaware, gave the Dutch prior rights to the whole Delaware River watershed. Baltimore rejected the argument completely, but subsequently the English successors to the Dutch title, the Duke of York and William Penn, were successful in making the case, ultimately leading to the separate existence of the state of Delaware. Regardless of the success of the negotiations, Herman had made a good impression on the Calverts.
Bohemia Manor
See also: Bohemia Farm
Herman's 1670 map of Maryland and Virginia
Herman, weary of conflict with Stuyvesant and remembering the fine lands he crossed in the upper Chesapeake Bay, offered to produce Lord Baltimore a map of the region in return for a grant of land in the area of his choosing. The offer was accepted and the grant made in September 1660 so Herman began his 10 years of work on the map.[4] It stated that as compensation for his services Lord Baltimore would grant him "Lands for Inhabitation to his Posterity and the Privilege of the Manor." Wasting no time, Herman moved his family to Maryland by 1661.[4]
Herman selected his first grant of 4000 acres of land and named it "Bohemia Manor" after his birthplace. It included much of the land east of the Elk River and north of the Bohemia River.[1] The manor house was built on the north shore of the Bohemia River, across from Hacks Point, and just to the west of present-day Maryland Route 213. The property included an enclosed park where Herman kept deer as pets.[5]
Because he was of non-British origin, Herman was obliged to apply for citizenship of Maryland by an act of their Assembly. His petition, in 1666, was successful and he became a naturalized citizen of Maryland.[5]
Once he completed the map of Maryland and Virginia in 1670, additional grants were made. They became known as "Little Bohemia," south of the Bohemia River, and "St. Augustine Manor," stretching to the Delaware River between St. George's Creek and Appoquinimink River.[1] In all he owned nearly 30,000 acres (120 km2) and became one of the largest landowners in North America. For added insurance he then successfully negotiated an agreement to pay a compensatory sum for the territory to the Susquehannock Native Americans, who owned the land.
Jasper Danckaerts and Peter Sluyter, emissaries of Friesland pietists, known as Labadists, met Ephraim George Herman, the son of Herman, in New York and he introduced them to his father in 1679. Initially Herman did not want to grant land to them, only permit their settlement, but in 1683, he conveyed a tract of 3,750 acres (15 km2) to them because of legal issues. The group established a colony but it was not very successful not growing larger than 100 people. The settlement ceased to exist after 1720.[4]
For the remainder of his life, Herman managed his plantation and enjoyed the life of a country squire, occasionally engaging in mercantile activities and official duties. He was a member of the governor's council and a justice of Baltimore County which then included all of the upper Chesapeake Bay. In 1674, Cecil County was created, and the first courthouse was built near the Sassafras River. In 1678, Herman was appointed as Cecil County's Commissioner for Peace to treat with the Native Americans.
Death
During his last years Herman was disabled by paralysis, and according to one source, by an "inattentive wife." He was 65 years old when he died in September 1686 at Bohemia Manor in Cecil County, Maryland and he is buried there.[citation needed]
Legacy
During the later 1800s and early 1900s, the Czech community of Baltimore made an annual pilgrimage to Cecil County to visit Herman's grave. In 1907, 400 Czechs from Baltimore boarded the steamship Annapolis to attend the pilgrimage at Bohemia Manor, where they were joined by 700 locals, many of whom were descended from Herman.[6][7]
Children and grandchildren
Ephraim George Herman, the eldest son, became Second Lord of Bohemia Manor. He was born in New Amsterdam in 1652. Ephraim lived in New York City in 1673, and was in New Castle County by 1676 where he was at various times Clerk of the Courts of New Castle County and Upland County and Surveyor for St. Jones County and New Castle County. About 1680 he became a Labadist, but was taken sick, lost his mind, and died on Bohemia Manor in 1689, surviving his father by only three years. He had married Elizabeth van Rodenburg, who survived him, subsequently marrying Major John Donaldson, a member of the provincial council of Pennsylvania. They had four children, but it is believed that all of Ephraim's children died before reaching maturity, and the Lordship passed to his brother when he died.
Casparus Augustine Herman, the second son, became the third Lord of Bohemia Manor. He was born in New Amsterdam in 1656 and died on Bohemia Manor in 1704. Casperus lived in New Castle for a number of years and represented New Castle County in the general assembly of Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties from 1683 to 1685. He was later a member of the legislature of Maryland in 1694.
Anna Margaritta Herman, the first daughter, was born in New Amsterdam before her baptism date of 10 March 1658. She married Thijs Jacobsz. She had issue.
Judith Herman, the second daughter, was born 9 May 1660 in New Amsterdam. She married first to John Thompson and secondly to John Dowdall. She had issue with her first husband.
Francina Herman, the third daughter, was born before her baptism date of 12 March 1662 in New Amsterdam. She married Joseph Wood Sr.
Ephraim Augustine Herman, grandson of Augustine, was the fourth Lord of Bohemia Manor. He was born either on St. Augustine's Manor, or in nearby New Castle County, and died on Bohemia Manor in 1735. He was a member of the legislature of Maryland from Cecil County in 1715, 1716, 1728, and 1731.
Casparus Herman, the son of Ephraim Augustine, became the fifth and final Lord of Bohemia Manor in 1735. He died four years later without any children and so the title became extinct. His elder sister, Mary Augustine Herman, was his primary heir, and she married John Lawson, who secured the inheritance. Eventually most of this passed to Richard Bassett through his step father, Peter Lawson, and his mother, Judith Thompson, a granddaughter of Augustine Herman, the first Lord, through his daughter, Judith Herman.
Other descendants
Even beyond his numerous accomplishments during his lifetime, part of Augustine Herman's legacy have been the numerous distinguished descendants he left. Some of them are listed below.
Richard Bassett, Daniel Brewster, James A. Bayard, James A. Bayard Jr., Richard H. Bayard, Thomas F. Bayard, Thomas F. Bayard, Jr., Francis Beverley Biddle, James Bouldin, Thomas Bouldin, John B. Breckinridge, Lloyd Bryce, Ezekiel F. Chambers, Thomas Clayton, Henry W. Collier, Albert Constable, Robert Daniel, Lucius Q. C. Lamar, William B. Lamar, George E. Mitchell, Edmund Randolph, David Ross, and Joseph Tydings.[citation needed]
Place names
Maryland Route 213 between Chestertown and Elkton is named the Augustine Herman Highway in his honor.[8] There are two schools that are named in honor of Bohemia Manor; Bohemia Manor High School, and Bohemia Manor Middle School. Augustine Beach Hotel derives its name from Augustine Herman.[9]

Anecdote 12 Oct 1659 Maryland Find all individuals with events at this location [8]
On Sunday, October 12/2, 1659, the secretary of the colony of Maryland, Philip Calvert, welcomed New Netherland ambassadors Augustine Herrman and Resoled Waldron to his plantation near Saint Mary's City. Dispatched to Maryland as emissaries of Director General of New Netherland Petrus Stuyvesant, Herrman and Waldron were in the English colony to settle a border dispute between New Netherland and Maryland. Just two months earlier, Maryland Governor Josias Fendall and his council had decided to enforce Lord Baltimore's claim to the west bank of the Delaware River (what the Dutch called the South River) below the fortieth parallel (present-day Philadelphia) and demanded that the Dutch settlers there depart immediately from what Fendall and Baltimore considered part of Maryland. As far as Stuyvesant was concerned, these lands were rightful Dutch terriories by virtue of West India Company patents, land purchases from Native Americans, and three decades of occupation. Already well-connected in the Netherlands and New Amsterdam, Herrman solidified his trade to the Chesapeake when he married Jannetje Varlet (var. Warleth) in December 1651. Varlet was also the sister of Anna Varlet, who had recently moved to Virginia after marrying German-born Dr. George Hack. Trading on her own account, Anna Varlet Hack organized a steady trade between the Chesapeake and New Netherland. Soon after he married her sister, Herrman became one of Anne Varlet Hack's trading partners. Seeking to further augment his Chesapeake trade, Herrman also acquired land in Northampton County on Virginia's Eastern Shore, near Hack's plantation, in 1655. Whether he intended to plant tobacco there or simply use his land as a place to store trade goods is unclear, but it is more certain that Herrman did not remain in Virginia long. By January 1656 he was back on the South River as one of the witnesses of a land sale between the West India Company and the Native American inhabitants of lands along the Schuylkill River just north of its intersection with the Delaware. At the same time, Herrman also began to trade to the Caribbean, mixing personal trade with work on behalf of the West India Company. During the next decade, Herrman took advantage of his new Virginia connections, variously supplying horses, lumber manufactured goods, salt, and slaves to Virginia correspondents. He traded indiscriminately with English colonists, such as John Custis and Grace Vaughan of Northampton County, Virginia, and Major John Billingsley and Colonel John Price of Maryland, and with Dutch planters who had migrated from New Netherland, including Simon Oversee and Anna Varlet . .
Anecdote 1666 [9]
In 1666 the Maryland Assembly "granted this petition of Augustine Herman of the realm of Prague, in the Kingdom of Bohemia, Anna Hacke born at Amsterdam in Holland, George and Peter Hack, her sons, born in Accomack in Virginia, have long there inhabited and now removed into this Province . . ."1
;
From Wikipedia:
Augustine Herman, First Lord of Bohemia Manor (Czech: Augustin Herman, c. 1621 – September 1686) was a Bohemian explorer, merchant and cartographer who lived in New Amsterdam and Cecil County, Maryland. In the employment of Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, he produced a remarkably accurate map of the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay regions of North America, in exchange for which he was permitted to establish an enormous plantation that he named Bohemia Manor in what is now southeastern Cecil County, Maryland.[1]
Land rights to the area now known as St. Augustine, Maryland were granted to Herman by Lord Baltimore prior to 1686 but the Herman family was never able to lay proper claim to the title.[1] Chroniclers have spelled the surname variously: Herman, Herrman, Harman, Harmans, Heerman, Hermans, Heermans, etc. Augustine Herman himself usually wrote Herman, which is now the accepted style. He frequently added "Bohemiensis" ("the Bohemian", "the Czech"), as a suffix.
Early life
According to the most reliable evidence, Augustine Herman was born about 1621 in Mšeno, Kingdom of Bohemia; the location he himself stated in his last testament. The claim that he was born in 1605, as the son of Augustine Ephraim Herman, and Beatrice, the daughter of Caspar Redel, has never been established, nor has the belief of some that he may have been the son of Abraham Herman, the evangelical pastor of Mšeno. Accordingly, the claims that his father was a wealthy merchant and councilman of Prague, who was killed in 1620 at the Battle of White Mountain during the Thirty Years' War, remains hearsay.
Herman was trained as a surveyor, and was skilled in sketching and drawing.[1] He was also conversant in a number of languages, including Latin, which he successfully applied in his diplomatic assignments with the British.
Undocumented stories
There has been much speculation about Herman's early years. It has been asserted that he made a trip to North America in 1633, when he allegedly signed his name witnessing the Dutch purchase of lands from the Lenape Native Americans near the later site of Philadelphia. Some also claim that he made voyages to the Dutch Antilles and Surinam and that he claimed to be "the first founder of the Virginia tobacco-trade," which began in 1612. All these claims are undocumented and highly questionable. The witnessing cited above may have been a mistranslation of the original Dutch document, and all these events would have required him to have been born about 1605, married at 45, and lived to over 80.
Career
New Netherland
In 1640, working for the West India Company Herman arrived in New Amsterdam, now Lower Manhattan in New York City. Due to his strong personality he soon became an important member of the Dutch community and its commerce. He was an agent for the mercantile house of Peter Gabry and Sons of Amsterdam, and was one of the owners of the frigate "La Grace," which was engaged in privateering against Spanish commerce. In partnership with his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Anna Varlett Hack and George Hack, he became the largest exporter of tobacco in America.[2] Trading furs and tobacco for wine and slaves, he quickly became wealthy and the owner of considerable real estate, including most of what is now Yonkers, New York.
At that point he was one of the most influential people in New Amsterdam, he was elected in 1647 to board of the Nine Men a body of prominent citizens organized to advise and guide the Director-General of New Netherland.[1] In time he would chair this Board. Unhappy with the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant Herman was one of the signatories of a complaint, the "Vertoogh," which was sent to Holland in July 1649, "to represent the poor condition of this country and pray for redress." Stuyvesant could not let this challenge pass, and proceeded to take measures to assure Herman's financial ruin. In 1653, Herman was briefly imprisoned for indebtedness.
In 1651, on behalf of the province, Herman negotiated the purchase of Staten Island and a large tract along the western shore of Arthur Kill from what is now Perth Amboy to Elizabeth.[3]
Herman married December 10, 1651, while he was in New Amsterdam. His wife was Jannetje Marie Varleth, the daughter of Caspar Varleth and Judith Tentenier, of New Amsterdam. They had five children, Ephraim, Casper, Anna, Judith and Francina. Jannetje died before 1665, and sometime after that Herman married again, this time to Mary Catherine Ward [dubious – discuss] from Maryland.
Delaware Bay
Stuyvesant would send Herman on a diplomatic mission to New England to resolve concerns about rumors of a Dutch and Native American alliance against the English. Of greater lasting importance, in 1659 he was sent to St. Mary's, Maryland with Resolved Waldron to negotiate the dispute between New Netherlands and Maryland's proprietor Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore over ownership of the lands on the western shore of the Delaware Bay, that were claimed by both parties.
Herman first articulated the argument that Lord Baltimore's charter was only good for lands that had not been previously settled, and that the short-lived, 1631 Swanendael settlement(usually spelled Zwaanendael), at present day Lewes, Delaware, gave the Dutch prior rights to the whole Delaware River watershed. Baltimore rejected the argument completely, but subsequently the English successors to the Dutch title, the Duke of York and William Penn, were successful in making the case, ultimately leading to the separate existence of the state of Delaware. Regardless of the success of the negotiations, Herman had made a good impression on the Calverts.
Bohemia Manor
See also: Bohemia Farm
Herman's 1670 map of Maryland and Virginia
Herman, weary of conflict with Stuyvesant and remembering the fine lands he crossed in the upper Chesapeake Bay, offered to produce Lord Baltimore a map of the region in return for a grant of land in the area of his choosing. The offer was accepted and the grant made in September 1660 so Herman began his 10 years of work on the map.[4] It stated that as compensation for his services Lord Baltimore would grant him "Lands for Inhabitation to his Posterity and the Privilege of the Manor." Wasting no time, Herman moved his family to Maryland by 1661.[4]
Herman selected his first grant of 4000 acres of land and named it "Bohemia Manor" after his birthplace. It included much of the land east of the Elk River and north of the Bohemia River.[1] The manor house was built on the north shore of the Bohemia River, across from Hacks Point, and just to the west of present-day Maryland Route 213. The property included an enclosed park where Herman kept deer as pets.[5]
Because he was of non-British origin, Herman was obliged to apply for citizenship of Maryland by an act of their Assembly. His petition, in 1666, was successful and he became a naturalized citizen of Maryland.[5]
Once he completed the map of Maryland and Virginia in 1670, additional grants were made. They became known as "Little Bohemia," south of the Bohemia River, and "St. Augustine Manor," stretching to the Delaware River between St. George's Creek and Appoquinimink River.[1] In all he owned nearly 30,000 acres (120 km2) and became one of the largest landowners in North America. For added insurance he then successfully negotiated an agreement to pay a compensatory sum for the territory to the Susquehannock Native Americans, who owned the land.
Jasper Danckaerts and Peter Sluyter, emissaries of Friesland pietists, known as Labadists, met Ephraim George Herman, the son of Herman, in New York and he introduced them to his father in 1679. Initially Herman did not want to grant land to them, only permit their settlement, but in 1683, he conveyed a tract of 3,750 acres (15 km2) to them because of legal issues. The group established a colony but it was not very successful not growing larger than 100 people. The settlement ceased to exist after 1720.[4]
For the remainder of his life, Herman managed his plantation and enjoyed the life of a country squire, occasionally engaging in mercantile activities and official duties. He was a member of the governor's council and a justice of Baltimore County which then included all of the upper Chesapeake Bay. In 1674, Cecil County was created, and the first courthouse was built near the Sassafras River. In 1678, Herman was appointed as Cecil County's Commissioner for Peace to treat with the Native Americans.
Death
During his last years Herman was disabled by paralysis, and according to one source, by an "inattentive wife." He was 65 years old when he died in September 1686 at Bohemia Manor in Cecil County, Maryland and he is buried there.[citation needed]
Legacy
During the later 1800s and early 1900s, the Czech community of Baltimore made an annual pilgrimage to Cecil County to visit Herman's grave. In 1907, 400 Czechs from Baltimore boarded the steamship Annapolis to attend the pilgrimage at Bohemia Manor, where they were joined by 700 locals, many of whom were descended from Herman.[6][7]
Children and grandchildren
Ephraim George Herman, the eldest son, became Second Lord of Bohemia Manor. He was born in New Amsterdam in 1652. Ephraim lived in New York City in 1673, and was in New Castle County by 1676 where he was at various times Clerk of the Courts of New Castle County and Upland County and Surveyor for St. Jones County and New Castle County. About 1680 he became a Labadist, but was taken sick, lost his mind, and died on Bohemia Manor in 1689, surviving his father by only three years. He had married Elizabeth van Rodenburg, who survived him, subsequently marrying Major John Donaldson, a member of the provincial council of Pennsylvania. They had four children, but it is believed that all of Ephraim's children died before reaching maturity, and the Lordship passed to his brother when he died.
Casparus Augustine Herman, the second son, became the third Lord of Bohemia Manor. He was born in New Amsterdam in 1656 and died on Bohemia Manor in 1704. Casperus lived in New Castle for a number of years and represented New Castle County in the general assembly of Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties from 1683 to 1685. He was later a member of the legislature of Maryland in 1694.
Anna Margaritta Herman, the first daughter, was born in New Amsterdam before her baptism date of 10 March 1658. She married Thijs Jacobsz. She had issue.
Judith Herman, the second daughter, was born 9 May 1660 in New Amsterdam. She married first to John Thompson and secondly to John Dowdall. She had issue with her first husband.
Francina Herman, the third daughter, was born before her baptism date of 12 March 1662 in New Amsterdam. She married Joseph Wood Sr.
Ephraim Augustine Herman, grandson of Augustine, was the fourth Lord of Bohemia Manor. He was born either on St. Augustine's Manor, or in nearby New Castle County, and died on Bohemia Manor in 1735. He was a member of the legislature of Maryland from Cecil County in 1715, 1716, 1728, and 1731.
Casparus Herman, the son of Ephraim Augustine, became the fifth and final Lord of Bohemia Manor in 1735. He died four years later without any children and so the title became extinct. His elder sister, Mary Augustine Herman, was his primary heir, and she married John Lawson, who secured the inheritance. Eventually most of this passed to Richard Bassett through his step father, Peter Lawson, and his mother, Judith Thompson, a granddaughter of Augustine Herman, the first Lord, through his daughter, Judith Herman.
Other descendants
Even beyond his numerous accomplishments during his lifetime, part of Augustine Herman's legacy have been the numerous distinguished descendants he left. Some of them are listed below.
Richard Bassett, Daniel Brewster, James A. Bayard, James A. Bayard Jr., Richard H. Bayard, Thomas F. Bayard, Thomas F. Bayard, Jr., Francis Beverley Biddle, James Bouldin, Thomas Bouldin, John B. Breckinridge, Lloyd Bryce, Ezekiel F. Chambers, Thomas Clayton, Henry W. Collier, Albert Constable, Robert Daniel, Lucius Q. C. Lamar, William B. Lamar, George E. Mitchell, Edmund Randolph, David Ross, and Joseph Tydings.[citation needed]
Place names
Maryland Route 213 between Chestertown and Elkton is named the Augustine Herman Highway in his honor.[8] There are two schools that are named in honor of Bohemia Manor; Bohemia Manor High School, and Bohemia Manor Middle School. Augustine Beach Hotel derives its name from Augustine Herman.[9]

THE VARLETH FAMILY
by Cor Snabel and Elizabeth A. Johnson
Caspar Varlet was born about 1593 in Cologne, a city near the Dutch border, in the current province of Nordrhein-Westfalen,Germany. He was a son of Nicolaes Varlet and Francina Jacobs. He had an older half-brother, Johannes Jelles, of his mother's first marriage, a sister Catrina, and two brothers, Peter and Daniel. On the 17th of October 1615, Caspar Varlet married Judith Tentenier in Utrecht, Netherlands[1]:
Caspar Verlet, from Ceulen, residing at the Voldersbrugge [in Utrecht], & Judith Tintenier, from Ceulen, residing Groensteegh [in Utrecht].
Judith Tentenier, was born about 1595 in Cologne, a daughter of Abraham Tentenier and his first wife, Jenne du Pont, who died before August, 1598. Abraham Tentenier married second to Magdalena Sanders van Os, had more children with her, and raised his family in Utrecht.
The children of Caspar Varlet and Judith Tentenier were:
In 1623, Caspar Varlet of Utrecht, known as a 'lakenverkoper' (seller of textiles), then about thirty years old, had already become a significant merchant in Holland. One Nicholas van der A had sold 25,000 pounds of cannon fuses belonging to Caspar, which had been stored in a warehouse in Delft, to the Dutch Government. For his commission, van der A received 50 guilders, which indicates the sale had involved a considerable sum. Also in 1623, Caspar Varlet filed a request to the Amsterdam authorities to move his silk factory from Utrecht to Amsterdam, but at that time certain parties opposed his plans, and he withdrew this proposal. On the 27th of January 1625, he renewed his request, stating that twenty families would follow him to Amsterdam, and that he could hire at least one hundred people, who were now on welfare, to work for him. [20]
Caspar's request was approved, and the family was living in Amsterdam before November, 1627, when his daughter Marija was baptized on the 7th of November 1627 in the Oude Kerk of Amsterdam. The last six children of Caspar and Judith were born in Amsterdam between then and 1639.
By the mid-1630's, Caspar Varlet had ventured into the Virginia tobacco trade. On 26 August, 1636, the brothers Caspar and Daniel Varlet provided 1200 carolus guilders for a tenth part of the vessel "Rensselaerswyck," bound for New Netherland and Virginia, to Dierck Corssen Stam, the brother of Arent Corssen Stam. Some of these funds were for cargo and equipment. [21] In December 1639, Caspar and Daniel Verleth of Amsterdam were plaintiffs in a legal dispute over their share in a cargo of merchandise sent to Virginia aboard the "Wapen van Leeuwarden" that was traded for tobacco. [22]
On 5 June 1641, Caspar Varlet and his two brothers, Peter and Daniel, were guarantors when Catharina Willekens, widow of David Staffmacker, master craftsman in ebony work, sold her house "Het Schaepshooft" in Amsterdam to Pieter Heijblom and his brother, Francois.[23] Daniel Varlet was Catharina Willeken's son-in-law; Peter Heijbloem would soon become Caspar Varlet's son-in-law. "Het Schaepshooft," a large building in the commercial-residential street, the Warmoesstraat, contained artisan workshops and showrooms for the furniture business that the Heijbloem brothers had taken over after David Staffmacker's death. Fourteen months after this transaction, Caspar appeared as guardian for his daughter Francina, when she and Pieter Heijblom filed their marriage intentions in Amsterdam on 2 August, 1642.[4]
In 1645, Caspar appeared as a baptismal sponsor for his grandson, Niclaes Varlet, son of Abraham Varlet and Haesje Claes, who was baptized on 21 February 1645 in the Oude Kerk of Amsterdam. [24]
Caspar Varlet's investments in shares and merchandise in the ships "Rensselaerswyck" and "Wapen van Leeuwarden" indicates that his interest in New Netherland, or in commerce involving the North American colonies, began at an early date. But although Edwin R. Purple, after James Savage, proposed in his 1878 article that Caspar lived at the Dutch trading post, Ft. de Goede Hoop (at the site of the present Hartford, Conn.) as early as the 1630's, [25] this was not so. Purple and Savage apparently did not have access to the Amsterdam baptismal registers, where records of Caspar and Jannetje's six younger children, born and baptized in that city between 1627 and 1639, are found. In view of these births in Amsterdam, along with Caspar's continuing business activities in Amsterdam and his various appearances in events in the city and in the church there, it is unlikely that he resided in the colonies until his 1650-1651 move.
Caspar Varlet and his wife Judith Tentenier did emigrate to New Netherland with several of their children late in 1650. They arrived at New Amsterdam shortly before the first of January, 1651, aboard the ship, "Fortuyn." In 1709, at the age of 80, their daughter Judith Varlet, the wife of Nicholas Bayard, gave a deposition concerning that voyage. [26] In her recollection, Judith described the birth of her nephew Abraham, son of her brother Nicholas Varlet and his wife Susannah, whom she says was born "in a great storme, some few days before the Shipp arrived at or made a place called Martins Vinyard" (meaning Martha's Vinyard), and that "some few days after said Shipps departure from Martins Vinyard, they arrived at New York, then called New Amsterdam, where the said young born son was baptised by the Dutch minister Mr Megapolensus and named Abraham." Abraham's baptism took place on the first of January, 1651. [27]
Members of the Caspar Varlet family who came to North America were:
-- One of their older daughters, Anna Varlet, wife of Dr. Joris (George) Hack. These two may have come to the colonies before the 1650-1651 voyage of the "Fortuyn," but the name of the ship they arrived on is unknown. Probably they came along with Caspar, since their records in the colonies also begin in early 1651. They became English subjects, and owned land in Cecil County, Maryland near that of Augustine Herman, and in Accomack County, Virginia. Joris Hack's 1664 will mentions "my three children," [8] but in Anna's 1666 Maryland naturalization document, only "George & Peter her Sonnes borne at Accomacke in Virgina" are mentioned (the daughter is thought to be Judith)[28]. In the same naturalization act, Anna is said to have been born in Amsterdam, which is most likely incorrect --she was raised in Amsterdam, the place she considered as home, but probably had been born in Utrecht, not long before the family came to Amsterdam. Although much more is available today, a brief profile of this couple can be found in Purple's series "Contributions to the History of the Ancient Families of New York" in the "Register" of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, Vol. 9, no. 2, p. 54 (April 1878). After Joris Hack's death, Anna married Nicholas Boot.[29]
Those who arrived on the "Fortuyn" in 1650-1651:
On August 19, 1658, a case was heard in court at Hartford, concerning Caspar Varlet (as 'Jasper Varleet') and his servant, Isbrand Goodheart. [44] Caspar was dealing in cattle and beef. His still and worm, also mentioned in court, may have been equipment from the distillery of his deceased son Guilliaume. [see note 32].
Caspar and his wife had both died at Hartford by 22 September, 1662, when a full inventory of their estate was filed there, valued at £ 205. 14. 00. Administration was awarded to their son Nicholas, who on 11 October, 1662 presented the "full Credit of ye Accounts out of Monseur Varlet's Book." [44] Their estate was settled by 15 June, 1663, when Nicholas Varlet and his sister Maria, then 'Mrs. Schreeck' (wife of Paulus Schrick), were released from their administrative bond. [45]
Two children of Caspar Varlet and Judith Tentenier did not emigrate to North America, but married in Amsterdam and remained in Holland with their own families. Abraham, the oldest, married twice, and by 1664 had baptized nine children in Amsterdam. In 1653, he was the commander of a merchant ship, the Walvisch, which took part in naval actions against the English in the Battle of the Gabbard on 12-13 June 1653, and in the Battle of Scheveningen on 10 August 1653. Francina, the oldest daughter, married Pieter Heijblom, who with his brother Francois operated the fine furniture business that had once belonged to the master craftsman, David Staffmaecker, an in-law of Caspar's brother Daniel. The careers of these two Varlet children are covered in subsequent chapters here.

In 1623, Caspar Varlet of Utrecht, known as a 'lakenverkoper' (seller of textiles), then about thirty years old, had already become a significant merchant in Holland. One Nicholas van der A had sold 25,000 pounds of cannon fuses belonging to Caspar, which had been stored in a warehouse in Delft, to the Dutch Government.

But although Edwin R. Purple, after James Savage, proposed in his 1878 article that Caspar lived at the Dutch trading post, Ft. de Goede Hoop (at the site of the present Hartford, Conn.) as early as the 1630's, [25] this was not so. Purple and Savage apparently did not have access to the Amsterdam baptismal registers, where records of Caspar and Jannetje's six younger children, born and baptized in that city between 1627 and 1639, are found. In view of these births in Amsterdam, along with Caspar's continuing business activities in Amsterdam and his various appearances in events in the city and in the church there, it is unlikely that he resided in the colonies until his 1650-1651 move.
Caspar Varlet and his wife Judith Tentenier did emigrate to New Netherland with several of their children late in 1650. They arrived at New Amsterdam shortly before the first of January, 1651, aboard the ship, "Fortuyn." In 1709, at the age of 80, their daughter Judith Varlet, the wife of Nicholas Bayard, gave a deposition concerning that voyage. [26] In her recollection, Judith described the birth of her nephew Abraham, son of her brother Nicholas Varlet and his wife Susannah, whom she says was born "in a great storme, some few days before the Shipp arrived at or made a place called Martins Vinyard" (meaning Martha's Vinyard), and that "some few days after said Shipps departure from Martins Vinyard, they arrived at New York, then called New Amsterdam, where the said young born son was baptised by the Dutch minister Mr Megapolensus and named Abraham." Abraham's baptism took place on the first of January, 1651. [27]
Members of the Caspar Varlet family who came to North America were:
-- One of their older daughters, Anna Varlet, wife of Dr. Joris (George) Hack. These two may have come to the colonies before the 1650-1651 voyage of the "Fortuyn," but the name of the ship they arrived on is unknown. Probably they came along with Caspar, since their records in the colonies also begin in early 1651. They became English subjects, and owned land in Cecil County, Maryland near that of Augustine Herman, and in Accomack County, Virginia. Joris Hack's 1664 will mentions "my three children," [8] but in Anna's 1666 Maryland naturalization document, only "George & Peter her Sonnes borne at Accomacke in Virgina" are mentioned (the daughter is thought to be Judith)[28]. In the same naturalization act, Anna is said to have been born in Amsterdam, which is most likely incorrect --she was raised in Amsterdam, the place she considered as home, but probably had been born in Utrecht, not long before the family came to Amsterdam. Although much more is available today, a brief profile of this couple can be found in Purple's series "Contributions to the History of the Ancient Families of New York" in the "Register" of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, Vol. 9, no. 2, p. 54 (April 1878). After Joris Hack's death, Anna married Nicholas Boot.[29]
Those who arrived on the "Fortuyn" in 1650-1651:
-- Their son, Nicholas Varlet, his wife Susanna Jans[30], and their baby daughter Susanna, born in 1649 in Amsterdam. Their youngest child, Abraham, was born aboard the "Fortuyn" in December 1650. Baptisms in Amsterdam of two of Nicholas and Susanna's children had been sponsored by his sister Francina's husband, Pieter Heijbloem. Francois Heijbloem (Pieter's brother, or perhaps their father) sponsored the January 1651 baptism in New Amsterdam of Nicholas and Susanna's son, Abraham. It is possible that Francois Heijbloem was aboard this voyage of the "Fortuyn", although no other evidence exists in North America of Francois Heijblom's actual presence there.[31] After Susanna Jans' death, Nicholas Varlet married Anna Stuyvesant, sister of Peter, director of the New Netherland colonies from1647-1664. [6] Nicholas Varlet had a varied and interesting career in the colonies, spanning a quarter-century. A comprehensive profile of his life with pointers to other resources can be found in Purple's "Ancient Families" series in NYGBR, Vol. 9, no. 4 (October 1878).
-- Their son, Guilliam (William) Varlet, named after Guillaume Tentenier, his grandfather's brother. He was the third son, probably born about 1623. In 1643, he attended the University of Utrecht, enrolled as a medical student under rector Gulielmo Strateno. His cousin, David, son of Daniel Varlet, was enrolled in the same class. [32] At the time Caspar was ready to bring his family to New Amsterdam, Guilliam had chosen a career for himself in the colonies, and shortly before immigrating, a business contract was drawn up between him and his father and his brother Nicholas. In a notarial act filed in Amsterdam before the notary J. van de Ven, dated 11 August 1650, Caspar Varlet and his son Nicholas agreed on terms and conditions under which to found and supervise a distilling business for Guilliam to operate in New Netherland. The distillery will be set up after they all have arrived in the colony. [33] Several years later, in New Amsterdam, Guilliam witnessed a few baptisms, and he made a court appearance there in July 1658 in a dispute concerning tobacco. He had died before 26 Aug. 1659, when his brother Nicholas and brother-in-law Paulus Schrick appear in court concerning some financial obligations of his. [34] The distillery contract of 1650 indicates he was unmarried, and there is no evidence that he married in the colonies.
-- Their daughter Judith Varlet, the longest-surviving child of Caspar and Judith Varlet, who gave a deposition in 1709 concerning the 1650-51 voyage of the "Fortuyn." She lived with her parents at Hartford, where, in 1662, through the intervention of Peter Stuyvesant, she narrowly escaped execution after being found guilty of "disturbing" the young daughter of a neighbor, when a wave of witch-hunting hysteria occurred in that town. [35] She became the wife of Nicholas Bayard, Stuyvesant's brother-in-law. [36] Although in her 1709 deposition, Judith recollects being "about fifteen" on the voyage of the "Fortuyn," since her baptism was in November 1639, she had actually been just over twenty. Although Samuel Purple is mistaken about her status as the "probably the youngest daughter" (she is the fifth daughter, with three younger sisters following), he adequately covers the life of this couple, and follows their descendents, in his "Ancient Families" series in NYGBR, Vol. 10, No. 1 (January, 1879.)
-- Their daughter Jannetje Varlet, who married Augustine Herman in December 1651, [10] and moved with him to Maryland, was probably aboard the "Fortuyn." One of the six older children of Caspar and Judith, her marriage record indicates she was born in Utrecht. Augustine Herman, who worked for the West Indies Company as a young man, had been known to the family for some years before he married Jannetje. A sketch of her life and his, with a partial list of descendents, and with pointers to other resources, can be found in Purple's "Ancient Families" series in NYGBR, Vol. 9, no. 2 (April 1878).
-- Their daughter Maria, born in Amsterdam; age 23 when the family came to New Amsterdam; married three times. She made three advantageous marriages in the Dutch colonies. Her first husband, Johannes van Beeck, son of a Director of the West Indies Company, was killed in an Indian attack in October, 1655. See entry for Sara Varlet below. Maria married second to Paulus Schrick, and third to the well-to-do widower, William Teller. A history of her life and marriages can be found in Purple's "Ancient Families" series in NYGBR, Vol. 9, No. 4 (October 1878), which follows several lines of her descendents. [37]
-- Their daughter, Catrijna, fourteen when the family came to New Amsterdam. She married Francois de Bruyn in 1657, [38] and along with her sister Judith, was a baptismal sponsor for her niece, Judith Herman, daughter of Augustine Herman and their sister Jannetje, in 1660. [39] She died before September 1662. [40] For more on the descendents of Catrijna Varlet and Francois de Bruyn, see Purple's "Ancient Families" series in NYGBR, Vol. 10, No. 1 (January, 1879). As noted earlier, since Purple had not located the Varlet baptisms in Amsterdam, he is also mistaken about the birth order of Catrijna.
-- Their youngest child, Sara Varlet, age 11 in 1650. Along with her sister Judith, she appears in New Amsterdam court in June 1655, in a case brought against the two by Wolphert Webber. [41] Sara Varlet was captured by Indians in October 1655, during a massive attack they made at Manhattan, at the time of the Dutch military action in Delaware against New Sweden. After Peter Stuyvesant had taken a force of men and ships to the Swedish colony on the Delaware River, Maria Varlet, her sister and her husband Johannes van Beeck, along with a visiting ship captain, were enjoying an outing when Indians attacked the settlements around Manhattan. After the surrender of New Sweden, Johannes Bogaert, a clerk attached to "De Waegh," the flagship of the Dutch force at Ft. Christina, wrote a report describing the siege and capitulation of New Sweden, and the results of the Indian attack at Manhattan. This report, written on board "De Waegh" on its return voyage to Holland, was in the form of a letter addressed to Hans Bontemantel, then a Schepen of Amsterdam and a Director in the Amsterdam Chamber of the West India Company. At the close of his letter, Johannes Bogaert writes:
Sara Varlet survived her capture, and was returned to the family. In January 1657, Sara was treated by the physician, John Winthrop, Jr., at Hartford, where Caspar had removed with several members of his family. Winthrop's medical notes on Sara's case reveal that she suffered from some malady related to her capture some sixteen months earlier. He identifies her as "Varlet, Sarah, daughter of Mr Varlet ye Duchman" [sic] and continues: "17 yeares was taken by the Indians & th~by frightened & was never well since but has great paine in her head & swollen in b[unreadable]". The middle part of this entry is badly smudged and dark, but more can be understood: "able to take first [smudged] but was sicke..." [43] Caspar's granddaughter, Susannah Varlet, a child of Nicolaes Varlet, then eight years old, was treated at Hartford by Winthrop about the same time, for troubles with both eyes, relating to an illness she had seven years previously.
-- Their son, Guilliam (William) Varlet, named after Guillaume Tentenier, his grandfather's brother. He was the third son, probably born about 1623. In 1643, he attended the University of Utrecht, enrolled as a medical student under rector Gulielmo Strateno. His cousin, David, son of Daniel Varlet, was enrolled in the same class. [32] At the time Caspar was ready to bring his family to New Amsterdam, Guilliam had chosen a career for himself in the colonies, and shortly before immigrating, a business contract was drawn up between him and his father and his brother Nicholas.

At the close of his letter, Johannes Bogaert writes:
The 11th of October, Governor Rijsingh and Factor Elswijck, with some Swedes, came on board, whom we carried with us to Menades [[Manhattan]]. We ran out to sea for the Menades on the 12th, and on the 17th happily arrived within Sandy Hook. On the 21st we sailed for the North River, from Staten Island, by the watering-place, and saw that all the houses there, and about Molyn's house, were burned up by the Indians; and we learned here that Johannes van Beeck, with his wife and some other people, and the captain of a slave-trader which was lying here at anchor with a vessel, having gone on a pleasure excursion, were attacked by the Indians, who murdered Van Beeck and the captain, and took captive his wife and sister. We found Van Beeck dead in a canoe, and buried him. His wife has got back. [42]
Sara Varlet survived her capture, and was returned to the family. In January 1657, Sara was treated by the physician, John Winthrop, Jr., at Hartford, where Caspar had removed with several members of his family. Winthrop's medical notes on Sara's case reveal that she suffered from some malady related to her capture some sixteen months earlier. He identifies her as "Varlet, Sarah, daughter of Mr Varlet ye Duchman" [sic] and continues: "17 yeares was taken by the Indians & th~by frightened & was never well since but has great paine in her head & swollen in b[unreadable]". The middle part of this entry is badly smudged and dark, but more can be understood: "able to take first [smudged] but was sicke..." [43] Caspar's granddaughter, Susannah Varlet, a child of Nicolaes Varlet, then eight years old, was treated at Hartford by Winthrop about the same time, for troubles with both eyes, relating to an illness she had seven years previously.
On August 19, 1658, a case was heard in court at Hartford, concerning Caspar Varlet (as 'Jasper Varleet') and his servant, Isbrand Goodheart. [44] Caspar was dealing in cattle and beef. His still and worm, also mentioned in court, may have been equipment from the distillery of his deceased son Guilliaume. [see note 32].
Caspar and his wife had both died at Hartford by 22 September, 1662, when a full inventory of their estate was filed there, valued at £ 205. 14. 00. Administration was awarded to their son Nicholas, who on 11 October, 1662 presented the "full Credit of ye Accounts out of Monseur Varlet's Book." [44] Their estate was settled by 15 June, 1663, when Nicholas Varlet and his sister Maria, then 'Mrs. Schreeck' (wife of Paulus Schrick), were released from their administrative bond. [45]
Two children of Caspar Varlet and Judith Tentenier did not emigrate to North America, but married in Amsterdam and remained in Holland with their own families. Abraham, the oldest, married twice, and by 1664 had baptized nine children in Amsterdam. In 1653, he was the commander of a merchant ship, the Walvisch, which took part in naval actions against the English in the Battle of the Gabbard on 12-13 June 1653, and in the Battle of Scheveningen on 10 August 1653. Francina, the oldest daughter, married Pieter Heijblom, who with his brother Francois operated the fine furniture business that had once belonged to the master craftsman, David Staffmaecker, an in-law of Caspar's brother Daniel. The careers of these two Varlet children are covered in subsequent chapters here.

Anecdote
According to Henrietta (Ayres) Sheppard, since the Chrisitian named of Nicholas came down in the family of Nikolaus Varlet of Cologne, Germany, and in that of Casper Varlet of Amsterdam, Holland, it seems highly probable that they were closely related, but in what way has not as yet been established. She also states that name of Varleth has an unmistakable French structure, a corruption of perhaps Valet, and it is no improbable it was borne by some French exile who took refuge in Holland, in order to escape the religious persecutions of his native land, which prevailed during the latter part of the 16th century. The first members of the family in New Netherland (New York) were natives of Utrecht and Amsterdam, Holland.
Anecdote 1633 Fort Good Hope, Hartford, Hartford Co, Connecticut Find all individuals with events at this location [2]
Casper or Jasper Varleth, the ancestor of the family bearing his name in New Amsterdam (New York), was an early resident of the Dutch settlement of Fort Good Hope, Harford, Conn., and was there, according to Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Vol. IV, p. 365, perhaps as early as the completion of the Fort in 1633. He may have been domiciled for a short time at New Amsterdam (New York), as we find reference made to an inventory of articles taken at his house in July 1651 and that his son-in-law, Paulus Schrick, on 17 Oct 1661, petitioned for a deed of a house and lot on the Fresh Water, Manhttan Island, sold to him by his said father-in-law. He was shown as a Dutchman of some consequence at Hartford in 1656, who may have lived there near 30 years and died there in September 1662, who had a wife Judith who died before him, and children Nicholas, Mary Judith and Jane. Beside these he probably had a daughter Catharina, born in Amsterdam, who married Francois De Bruyn in New Amsterdam, in August 1657.1
