Mason Wattles, Wiscasset (also given New York, N.Y.) Certificate dated Cambridge, June 24, 1775, signed by Capt. Samuel McCobb, certifying that said Wattles and others belonging to his company, Col. Nixon’s Regt., were in need of cartridge boxes and had each received one, for which said McCobb promised to be accountable; also, Sergeant, Capt. McCobb’s co., Col.

Thomas Nixon’s (4th) Regt; regimental return dated North Castle. Nov. 9, 1776; also, receipt given to Benjamin Heywood, Paymaster, 4th Regt., signed by said Wattles and others, for wages for Dec., 1776, as Ensigns in said regiment; also, Lieutenant and Captain, Col. Nixon’s (6th) Regt; Continental Army pay accounts for service from Jan. 1, 1780, to Dec. 31, 1780; reported as serving 3 mos. 13 days as Lieutenant, 8 mos. 17 days as Captain; also, communication dated West Point, June 5, 1781, signed by Calvin Smith, Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, stating that said Wattles, Lieutenant, 6th Mass. Regt., had been taken prisoner by the enemy in 1779, whereby he was deprived of the opportunity of promotion; that having been exchanged he had rejoined the regiment in which there was a vacancy for a Captain; that said Wattles was entitled to the position, and requesting that his appointment, if approved, might date from April 13, 1780; ordered in Council June 11, 1781, that a warrant be issued to said Wattles; reported commissioned April 13, 1780; also, power of attorney, dated Feb. 15, 1785, signed by John Taylor, authorizing said Wattles, of New York, N.Y., to collect his wages.

Mason took his second degree in the Lodge of Saint Andrew, A.F. & A.M., Boston, 11 September 1777; resided in New York, New York, for several years after the war, then removed to Courtlandt (now a suburb of Peekskill), Westchester County, New York, where he lived at the time of the 1790 United States Census. Several years later he moved upstate to Broome County, probably to his bounty land (military tract); in 1807 was appointed an Associate Judge of that County’s Court (he being then a resident of the town of Windsor); was reappointed twice to that office, the last time in 1815. In his will, dated 1 February 1814, he bequeathed to his two children and to his grandson, Samuel Mason Avery. [ii] Mason was an Original Member of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati from 1783 until 1819. His obituary appeared in the Columbian Centinel 18 August 1819. Mason received a Bounty Land Warrant 21 May 1798, and applied for a Soldiers Pension 2 April 1818. [iii]

Van Deursen Family

This genealogy was compiled by Captain Albert Harrison Van Deursen in 1912. It traces the descendants of Abraham Pietersen (Van Deursen), who was was born in Haarlem, Holland, where he was baptized November 11, 1607, in the Dutch Reformed Church.

"It is probable that Abraham Pietersen and his wife left Haarlem for America very soon after their marriage, as no baptismal records of any of their children are found at that place between 1630 and 1635, and he is known to have been in New Amsterdam, now New York, in 1636, when he was recorded as 'of Haarlem.'"

"Abraham Pietersen lived on the Heerewegh Straat, or Broadway, New Amsterdam, where he carried on the occupation of miller and innkeeper, trading also in land and cattle. The date of his death is not known."

The original text is available at the NEHGS Library and to NEHGS members via the circulating library. The call number is CS71/V243/1912.
