Franklin Township, New Jersey, 1783. Handwritten Payment Receipt for Isaac and Rachel Vanderbeek, for sums owed "on account of Taxes" which were received by James Bogert (possibly Bogart), Collector of Franklin. Includes accounting notations at center left. Isaac and Rachel Vanderbeek both descended from old Dutch families of New Jersey, and were married in 1767. Isaac Vanderbeek was active in the patriot militia during the Revolutionary War. In 1791 he was an elder of the Dutch Church in Hackensack and in 1805 president of the townÕs board of trustees. Both Isaac and Rachel Vanderbeek are likely the same individuals featured in a pair of portraits held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. According to family tradition, these portraits were painted in 1807, which would have been about the time the couple moved to New York. Fine to VF condition, especially for its age. Unique piece from the Suffern Family Archives.
