• Notes

  Baptized December 3, 1749, Tappan. Witnesses, Jan Ferdon and Brichje, his wife, in the name of Henry Ludlow and Mary, his wife. John and his wife first lived at the northern edge of Nyack where John ran a pettiauger on the Hudson River. His boat was captured by the British Frigate "Brune" and he was taken to New York City with the boat where he was forced to run a ferry survice. This initated the rumor that he was a Tory, resulting in an investigation by the Committee of Safety, and as a result, he and his wife took refuge in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. On returning to Rockland County after the cessation of hostilities, around 1797, they returned to Nyack where he started a boat-building business. 1800 Orange Town, Rockland County, New York Federal Census. John Gisner, one male under 10, one male 10 under 16, one male 16 under 26 and one male 45 and older; two females under 10, two females 10 under 16, and one female 45 and older.
