The Origin, History and Genealogies of the Rulison Families in America
Letter from Henry F. Rulison
to R. W. Reese

Original Saved Over the Years by
Margaret H. Cory
Transcribed by
Laura G. Cory
The following letter and genealogical notes are transcribed from a letter by Henry R. Rulison written to Reuben W. Reese to be used as information for a Reese family reunion. The document, handwritten on eight pages with the addition of the cover letter and three maps, has been passed down over the years to Addie Green (a niece of R. W. Reese), to Addie?s daughter Maude Cory, and subsequently to Maude?s daughter-in-law, Margaret Cory.
I did not change any of the spelling or grammar in the document. I did correct a few genealogical numbering errors in order to eliminate confusion, and bolded some names for added clarity. The underlines are copied from the author. The numbering structure is repeated for two lines of the family, so overlapping numbers remain. The author does not cite specific sources.
R.W. Reese was the youngest son of Hannah Rulison. Henry Rulison tailored the notes to focus specifically on the descendants of Hannah. Also, the author included a paragraph on his specific life and accom-plishments.
I have no information about the disposition of the extensive set of genealogical materials that the author described at the end of the document.
The original document is quite brittle. I am in the process of finding someone who can help preserve it, and then will contribute it to an institution where it can be accessed for future genealogical research. I have not verified any of the information in the document.

My dear cousin:-
Inclosed you will find in condensed form the origin, history, and genealogies of the Rulison families in this country, with particular reference to the ancestors of Hannah Rulifson. (The names of her children are given, but the descendants of these children are omitted, on the assumption you and others of the family already possess their record.) Perhaps undue space and importance is given to Roelof Ruloffson and his descendants, a large branch of the family, which has borne some good fruit, and a twig of which is your humble servant. It is inserted in the thought that it will interest you and the others of the family, as showing my relationship to the Reese families. Inclosed are several maps showing the spaces and counties in which Rulisons lived in early days. One shows where Abraham Rulifson settled in Montgomery country, N.Y., his farm, and the farms of three of his sons. Farm 2 shows where Hannah Rulifson was born. These maps should be referred to as one reads the record.
I have no record of the brothers or sisters or parents of Martin Reese, as no one has ever given me any information concerning them, and am sorry that I am unable to aid you in tracing the genealogies of the family. Some time, when I visit the Genealogical department of the Newberry Library in Chicago, I will see what I can find about the Reeses, and will let you know.
I mail you to-day a package containing 75 photogravures of myself, to be given to such persons attending the reunion as may wish them. If more are needed I will send them. I would like to have the name and address of the persons receiving the ?picture?, that I may know who have, or have not, a copy. If an account of the reunion is published, I should be glad to receive a copy of the paper containing it.
The same day that your reunion comes off, there will be one of the Ruliffson-Wells families held at Scottsville, Monroe Country, N.Y. These families are the descendants of Harmon Ruliffson, a brother of Abraham Rulifson, who was born in 1760, and lived near Gilboa in the southern part of Schoharie Country, N.Y. at the same time Abraham Rulifson lived near Mill Point, Montgomery County, N.Y. It is a strange fact that these two branch families, living in 1910 some 25 miles apart, knew nothing of each other until my records informed them of the relationship. And now they visit each other, and when writing to each other they commence the letters by saying, ?My dear cousin,?
I should be very glad to see you when you come to Chicago, and show you my book of records. It is immense, and contains many biographical sketches of intense interest. My work is far from being complete, for almost every week I discover Rulisons - lost Rulisons who have wandered from the fold. Births, marriages, and deaths occur somewhere among the families, which necessitate new entries in my record almost every week. Come over and see me soon.
With best wishes for a large attendance at the reunion and a pleasant time all around, I am
Affectionally yours - always
Henry P. Rulison.

REF: The Origin, History, and Genealogies of the Rulison Families in America.
In the fifteenth century there were living in Germany families by the name of Ruloff, or Rulof. The name is derived from Rudolphus, an early German emperor. From Rudolphus is derived the names Rudolph, Dolph, Ralph, and Rolf, the latter in Hollandish being Roelf and Roelof. It means a counselor, advisor, one authorized to give advice or counsel, as to conduct, etc. It was originally used as a given or baptismal name, and later as a family name.
Several families of Ruloffs emigrated from Germany to Denmark, and the family name of their children born there became Ruloffson, the sons of Ruloff. Other families of Ruloffs emigrated from Germany to Holland, and their children born in Holland were called in the Hollandish way of naming, Roelofsons. So there were in Denmark families of Ruloffsons, and in Holland families of Roelofsons, and these families were related by ties of blood.
It is a matter of history that the Dutch from Holland established a settlement at New Amsterdam (New York City) in 1614. During the years that followed emigrants were coming over continually from Holland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The Dutch found homes in New Amsterdam, Long Island, northward along the Hudson River and Mohawk River in New York. Some went westward across the Hudson into New Jersey, the Dutch settling through the northern tiers of counties of New Jersey, the Germans farther south along the Raritan River and its tributaries, in Middlesex, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties.
In 1664 the Dutch government surrendered New Amsterdam to the English, and the city was named New York. There were Roelofsons (Dutch) living in the city at this time. Among the property owners in New York City in 1674, at the final cessation to the English, was Boile Roelofson, who lived on Broad Street (Broadway). He was Dutch, and his property was listed, or valued, at $2000. His wife was named Bayken Arentse Roelofson, and they were members of the Dutch Reformed Church, as were most of the Dutch settlers. Jan (John) Roelofson lived on what is now William Street in New York City. A record of the Court of Sessions held at Gravesend, in the West Ryding of Yorkshire upon Long Island, Dec. 21, 1676 reads - ?Plaintiff, Capt. John Manning; Defendant, Peter Roelofson. The Case is withdrawn without cost, early this very morning, being an action of trespass on the case.? (Capt. Manning in 1673 was acting as governor of New York, in the temporary absence of Gov. Lovelace.)
The first definite and authentic account of the German-Danish Ruloffsons in this country is found in a work entitled, ?The Early Germans of New Jersey - Their History, Churches, and Genealogies.? From data found in this work is compiled an account of



The Ruloffson Families in New Jersey

#1 Laurens Ruloffson was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1689. His parents were Germans, or of German descent, who had lived in Denmark for some time. His given name, Laurens, is derived from the Latin Laurentus, whose variants are Laurentz, Laurence, Lawrence, etc. It means one who has been laureated, or crowned, by way of eminence or distinction. Thus in his full name are united the ideas of both wisdom and royal rank.

Like many other young men in Denmark, Holland, and Germany in those early days, Laurens Ruloffson emigrated to America to better his fortunes in the New World, where hundreds of his native countrymen and relatives (Dutch) had preceded him. He arrived in New York City in 1714. The basis of his marriage to Catharine Schuman, daughter of Herman Schuman (German), a potter, were published in the Lutheran Church in that city, May 16, 1715, and he was married in this church June 26, 1715. His wife was born in Feb. 1695, and died in July, 1776. Shortly after his marriage he moved to New Jersey and settled in Middlesex County, near the present city of New Brunswick on the Raritan River (see map of New Jersey). The fertile valleys of the Raritan and its tributaries, in Middlesex, Somerset, Morris and Hunterdon counties were almost exclusively occupied at an early date by German settlers, and it was but natural that he should seek a home among his own native people, speaking the same language and professing the same religious faith. These German emigrants were eminently a religious people and were all members of the Lutheran church. Laurens Ruloffson?s occupation was probably that of farming, as was that of the other settlers at that time. He died in 1771. Among his children (families were large in those days), only two will be considered, namely: - Roelof Ruloffson and Hermanes (Hermon) Ruloffson.

#2 Roelof Ruloffson, son of Laurens Ruloffson (#1), was born in Middlesex county, New Jersey, Sept. 26, 1717. When a young man he went westward from Middlesex county, through what is now Somerset county, to Hunterdon county, N.J. (See map). As families were large in those days, the grown-up sons, in order to relieve the fathers of their support, left the parental roof and sought homes in a comparatively unsettled region, where land was cheaper and more easily obtained. In Hunterdon county lived Frederick Bodine and his wife Saartje (Sarah) Rappelyea (French). Frederick?s father was Francis Bodine, the son of Jean Bodine, a French Huguenot who came to New Amsterdam and then settled on Staten Island, where he died in 1695. Frederick Bodine had a daughter named Catherine, and she and Roelof Ruloffson were married June 1739. Their children were Lawrence, John, Christian and Leah. Catherine then died, and Roelof married for his second wife Elisabeth Leek, and their children were Isaac, Anna, Abraham, and Henry. Roelof Ruloffson was probably a farmer. He died in Nov. 1783. His will was written May 22, 1783 and probated Jan. 2, 1784.

#3 Lawrence Ruloffson, son of Roelof Ruloffson (#2) was born in Hunterdon country, New Jersey, Nov. 28, 1740. He married Elizabeth Barnhart, who was born Jan. 28, 1743. In 1768 Lawrence lived in Tewksbury township, Hunterdon Co., N.J. and was one of the trustees of the Lutheran church at New Germantown, having seven and a half acres of land attached thereto. (See map). This church was associated with the Lutheran church in German Valley, Morris Co., N.J., one of whose trustees was Isaac Ruloffson, brother of Lawrence. In those pioneer days one pastor preached in a number of what was called Associated churches, and each of these churches contributed to the support of the pastor.

After the Revolutionary War, and prior to 1790, Lawrence moved with his family to Montgomery county, New York, which at that time included the northern half of Schoharie county and a part of Herkimer and Otsego counties. He settled on a farm near Esperance, on Schoharie Creek, in Mohawk township. The U.S. census of 1790 recorded him as the head of a family of three sons over 16 years of age, one under 16, and three daughters - all living in Mohawk township, Montgomery county, N.Y. The census record spelt his name Ruluffson, but would not vouch for the correct spelling of names. Lawrence died April 8, 1814; his wife died Sept. 8, 1820. Of the children no further mention will be made here except that of his oldest son Herman, also called Harmon.

Historical and Descriptive
Shortly after the settlement of New Amsterdam by the Dutch in 1614, Dutch and German emigrants began to settle in the fertile districts along the Hudson River as far north as Albany, and westward along the Mohawk River. These early pioneers underwent great hardships and braved many dangers, for the country was a wilderness, and parties of French and Indians often raided the settlements and scalped men, women, and children with unbridled ferocity. To defend themselves against these savage attacks and to protect the women and children, blockhouses and forts were built and surrounded by palisades. About 1650 Arendt van Curler purchased the Great Flats at Schenectady, and Dutch and German colonies, or settlements, ?spread forth like a blossoming plant, northwest and southwest of Albany.?
The valleys of the Mohawk River and its tributaries were very fertile, and here the early settlers made their homes. The country north of the Mohawk was a succession of hills, gradually rising to the base of the Adirondacks. The valley of Schoharie Creek lay to the south of the Mohawk, and extended to the foothills of the Catskills, in which mountains the stream had its source. To the west of Schoharie valley were the high lands in what is now Otsego County, N..Y. In this highland region, in places over 2000 feet in height, the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers had their source. All this part of the State before and during the Revolutionary War was called Montgomery County.
The county was divided into districts, and the districts into townships, called towns. The Mohawk district included Fort Hunter at the mouth of Schoharie Creek, Caugnawaga, afterward called Mohawk town, and Florida town. This district was 35 miles from Albany, and was settled by the Dutch and Germans in 1650. The district of Canajoharie included Cherry Valley, now in Otsego county, and Harpersfield, now in Schoharie and Delaware counties. The Palatine district, north of the Mohawk River, included Stone Arabia and German Flats near the town of Herkimer. Later, Schoharie and Otsego counties were formed from Albany and Montgomery counties. In 1790 there were but 17 counties in the whole State of New York.
After the close of the Revolutionary War, when order and safety to settlers obtained, the inhabitants of Montgomery county began to receive accessions of their countrymen from New Jersey and other states. Among the first to arrive with his family from New Jersey was Lawrence Ruloffson (#3), the son of Roelof Ruloffson (#2), as noted before. The date of his moving from New Germantown, Hunterdon country, N.J. is not definitely known, but it was prior to 1790. About the same time there arrived with his family from New Jersey Abraham Ruliffson (#9), the son of Hermanes Ruloffson (#7), brother of Roelof Ruloffson (#2), as noted before. Lawrence and Abraham were first cousins, and both the grandsons of Laurens Ruloffson (#1) from Copenhagen, Denmark. Lawrence settled near Esperance, now in Schoharie county, on Schoharie Creek, and Abraham settled near Mill Point in Montgomery county on Schoharie Creek - about 10 miles distant from each other. Later, in 1795, there arrived from New Jersey with his family a brother of Abraham Ruliffson (#9) whose name was Harmon Ruliffson (#16), who married Susanna Beemer. He was born in 1760 and died in 1851. During the Revolutionary War he had served as a private in a company of the Fourth Regiment militia from Hunterdon Co., N.J. He settled on a farm in the town of Gilboa in the southern part of Schoharie county. His children were eleven in number, some born in New Jersey and some in New York State, as follows: -


Born in New Jersey: -
#35 Mercy, born 1785 - married Peter Stryker.
#36 Margaret - born 1787 - married Samuel Bartley.
#37 Experience - born 1789 - married John Parks.
#38 Mary, born 1791 - married Theophilus Howard.
#39 Susanna, born 1793 - married Michael Brinningstool.

Born in New York State:
#40 Elizabeth - born 1796 - married Mr. Buskirk.
#41 Harmon - born 1798 - married Susanna Wellman Stevens.
#42 Isaac, born 1800 - married Margaret Bly.
#43 Ruliff, born 1802 - married Candace Gleason.
#44 Peter S. - born 1805 - married Eliza Ann Stewart.
#45 Lydia, born 1808 - married Lemuel Pierce.




The Rulisons (Rulifsons, Ruliffsons) in New York State

The three Rulisons, Lawrence, Abraham, and Harmon, were the heads of three great branches of the Rulison family tree in New York State. The compiler of this history has a very complete record of the descendants of each branch, as well as a record of all the Rulisons mentioned in the preceding pages, and their descendants, numbering some 6000. He also has the record of some 500 of the Roelofsons, the Dutch branch, who are now to be found living in many States of the Union. The record contains many biographical sketches, some of great interest. The compiler also has a record of nearly all the families allied to the Rulison families by marriage, and it contains about 13,000 names. All the records were procured by hard and unwearied labor through some fifteen years search, and he has been aided by many willing members of the family who have given data of great value. His sincere thanks are here given to all who have kindly assisted him. To the compiler and his helpers, the work has been a labor of love and family pride.

The compiler of these records sends greeting and best wishes to all in attendance at the Reunion of the Reese-Rulison families, and shall be glad to answer any inquiries concerning members of any of the branches that he may possess.
