STOUTENBURGH PLAQUE IN ST. JAMES CHURCH

This plaque represents the role the Stoutenburgh family played in the original settlement of Hyde Park. The plaque was originally dedicated in mem-ory of Jacobus and Margaret (Teller) Stoutenburgh on February 22, 1935. President Franklin Roosevelt took part in the ceremony by unveiling the plaque. The plaque and church were damaged in a fire in 1984. In October 1988 a rededication of the plaque occurred in the restored church.

STOUTENBURGH-TELLER FAMILY CEMETERY

Jacobus Stoutenburgh established the family burial ground in 1768. Both Jacobus Stoutenburgh and Margaret Teller are buried here. Grave markers also note family members who fought in the Revolu-tionary War. The stone wall was erected c. 1807. The ornate iron gate bears the family crest.

Before 1741. Jacobus Stoutenburgh, his sons and slaves clear the land. His log cabin, built in 1723, was the first house in Hyde Park Village – the Kings Highway, then a grassy “wagon” road, passed in front – Jacobus and his wife Margaret Teller had eight children who varied in age, in 1741, from 23-year-old Tobias to 5-year-old Luke.

MARKER FOR JACOBUS STOUTENBURGH’S HOUSE

This marker indicates the site of Jacobus Stouten-burgh’s house. He built a stone manor house in the meadowlands or “Flatts” south of Crum Elbow Creek and lived there with his wife Margaret Teller and family from 1742 until his death in 1772. The house survived bombardment by the British during the Revolutionary War but was razed in 1870.

PLAQUE AT HYDE PARK TOWN HALL

In 1976 the Stoutenburgh Family Association dedicated a plaque on the outside wall of the Town Hall signifying that Hyde Park was once named Stoutenburgh after Jacobus Stoutenburgh the first settler. Later in 1821 the name of the town was changed to Hyde Park.

WILLIAM STOUTENBURGH HOUSE

This is the oldest house in Hyde Park, built of fieldstone in the Dutch Colonial tradition. William was born in 1772, the son of Jacobus and Margaret (Teller) Stoutenburgh. William built the home on Water Lot No. 9 of the Nine Partners Patent that he received from his father. Inside the house there are many artifacts of the Stoutenburgh family.

Z

BERGH-STOUTENBURGH HOUSE

John Bergh inherited the lands from his father Christian in the years before the Revolution, along with his brother-in-law Martin Dop and built the house on this site. In 1788 Bergh sold a hundred acres to Jacobus Stoutenburgh Jr. His daughter Margaret, in turn, eventually inherited the property. It remained in use as a house throughout the 19th century and into much of the 20th.
