Aaron V Tuers

M, b. circa 1830, d. before 1880
FatherAbraham A Tuers1 b. 1 Feb 1789, d. Aug 1854
MotherSarah Prior Vanderbilt1 b. c 1808, d. 9 Sep 1864
     Aaron V Tuers was born circa 1830 at New Jersey. He married Matilda. He married Martha L Richardson, daughter of Isaac Richardson Richardson and Matilda Baines, on 14 September 1867 at Anne Arundel County, MD.2 He died before 1880.
     This is possibly the Aaron V. Tuers, who in about 1860 settled in Maryland. We have NO proof of this individual, however, given that his grandfather's name was Aaron Vanderbilt, we find the coincidence significant to note since Aaron's mother, Sarah Prior Vanderbilt similarly bears the name of her maternal grandmother.

In his record of marriage to Martha L Richardson, he is listed as a widower.

We have few primary sources for this individual. We are basing our conclusion on the available evidence, given that his grandfather's name was Aaron Vanderbilt we find the coincidence significant to note since Aaron's mother, Sarah Prior Vanderbilt similarly bears the name of her maternal grandmother. This naming convention was frequently used by early Dutch descendants who had abandoned the patronymic, but still retained similar family naming traditions. We have also found other reference to the family members, including Aaron Tuers widow traveling back to New Jersey and living with family in the area of Abraham Tuers' farm.

We also find him in the Anne Arundel, Annapolis, MD Federal 1860 Census as Aaron Tuers, and again in the 1870 Census as Aaron Tours, both in Annapolis, Maryland, but with different wive's names and children's names. Based on the ages of the children and Martha, age 22, in 1870, it is not biologically feasible for these to be her children, but may be children by Aaron's former marriage:

1860 Census
Aaron Tuers, age 30, Sailor, born New York
Matilda, age 25, born New York
Elizabeth, age 1, born Maryland (likely the same as Mary Elizabeth in later records)
Charles, age 3 months, born Maryland (Charles Newton Tuers in later records)

1870 Census
Aaron Tours, age 42, Sailor, born New Jersey
Martha, age 22, born Virginia
Harrison, age 14, farm laborer, born New Jersey
Mary, age 12, born Maryland, (Mary Elizabeth Tuers abt 1860 in later records)
Arthur, age 10, born Maryland, (Arthur M. Tuers in later records)
Matilda Richardson, mother-in-law, age 54

In the 1880 Census Martha and children are living in the Port of Baltimore with Matilda Richardson listed as head of household, and Aaron is not found.
1880 Census
Matilda Richardson, age 68, Keeping house
George W, age 30, Laborer
Tuers, Martha, age 32, daughter, At Home
Thomas, age 3, grandson
Rosa, age, 6, granddaughter (Rosa Ella in later records)

Abraham A. Tuers Cases in Chancery
Hoyt v Tuers

WILLIAM W. HOYT and wife v. WILLIAM TUERS et al.
?Abraham Tuers died intestate in 1850, seized of lands in Hudson county, and leaving six children and two grandchildren, his heirs-at-law. One of the sons, Abraham A. Tuers, Jr, left New Jersey in 1854, leaving his wife and children here, and never returned. For twenty years his family neither saw him nor heard from him, but heard that he was dead. In 1874 they ascertained that he was living in California, and one of his sons, William, saw him there. He died in 1877. In 1862, under proceedings in the orphans court of Hudson county, the lands of Abraham Tuers were partitioned, the heirs-at-law of Hoyt v. Tuers. Abraham A. Tuers being made parties thereto. On an allegation of his death intestate, and by sundry means conveyances thereunder, the defendants claim parts of the premises. In 1871, Abraham A. Tuers executed a conveyance in California in favor of Hoyt, the complainant, of all his property, real and personal, in New Jersey; and in July, 1874, another, conveying, inter alia, all interest etc. as one of the children and heirs-at-law of his father and mother, or either of them; and in August, 1874, another, conveying, by specific ?metes and bounds, the lands set off to Abraham A. Tuers's heirs-at-law in the partition of 1862. On a bill for a partition, filed by Hoyt, in chancery, against the defendants as part owners of the premises, and also to set aside the partition of 1862, the defendants, by answer, set up that Abraham A. Tuers (Jr.) was, when he made the alleged conveyances to Hoyt, incompetent to make them, by reason of unsoundness of mind, and that they were obtained by fraud. - Held, that the complainant's title being denied, the suit would be stayed, to afford the complainant an opportunity to establish the title at law, and that although evidence was adduced in this cause on the subject of the defence to the deeds, the defendants were nevertheless entitled to try the question of the validity of complainant's title at law. ?Bill for partition. On final hearing on pleadings and proof. ?Mr. John J. King and Mr. P. Woodruff", for complainants. ?Mr. Edward Q. Keasbey, for Newark Land Company and ?others. ?Mr. G. W. Hubbell, for Francis Sipp and others. ?THE CHANCELLOR. ?The complainants seek to set aside a partition of land in Hudson County, made in the orphans court of that county in 1862, and to partition the property in this court. The wife joins her husband as complainant only in view of her claim of inchoate right of dower in the property to which her husband claims title. The land was owned by Abraham Tuers, who died in 1850 intestate. At his death his heirs-at-law were his ?six children and two grandchildren, the children of a deceased daughter. In 1862, application was made to the orphans court by his son William for partition of the property. From the order appointing the commissioners, it would seem that, in his petition (it is lost, and no copy of it is produced), the petitioner stated that his brother Abraham (generally known as Abramam A. Tuers) was dead, and had died intestate, and that among his heirs-at-law were two minors, Andrew and Eliza Tuers, two of his children. The property was found, capable of being partitioned without great prejudice to the interests of the owners, and was divided accordingly, and the partition confirmed. The persons to whom two of the shares were assigned in the partition, conveyed them to the Newark Land Company, and that company claims them, and also part of another of the shares conveyed to it in like manner. Abraham A. Tuers in 1854 left this state, leaving his wife and children here, and never returned to it. He went to California, and remained there up to the time of his death, which occurred in 1877. His son William having heard that he was in California, went there in 1874 and saw him there. William testifies that he neither saw nor heard from his father for twenty-two years after the latter left this state, and that the family had heard that he was dead. In March, 1871, Abraham A. Tuers executed a conveyance in California, in favor of Hoyt, for all his right, title and interest of, in and to all his property, real and personal, in New Jersey, and especially all his claims to the estate of his father and mother, or the estate of either of them. On the 1st of July, 1874, he executed a deed to Hoyt, by which, in consideration of $1,000, as expressed in the deed, he conveyed a tract of land of one hundred and ten acres, or thereabouts, in this state, described in the deed as being situated in Morris county, about six miles from Morristown, and about three miles from Rockaway, and the same land occupied and possessed by the grantor in person, and by his family, and at that time occupied by William Tuers, his son. The deed conveyed, also, all other pieces, parcels, tracts, lots or bodies of land or real estate in New Jersey which he owned, or of, in or to which he had any kind, nature or character of right, title, claim or interest, legal or equitable, whether the same had been acquired by purchase, bequest, devise, descent or otherwise, and also all the interest, right, title, claim and demand which he then had or might thereafter have or be entitled to as one of the children and heirs-at-Iaw of his father and mother

? In August, 1874, he executed another deed to Hoyt, which, after reciting that he had executed and delivered the deed, of July preceding, and that it contained no specific or accurate description of any real estate, but did contain general and comprehensive reference to the grantor's real estate in this state, and that he intended thereby to convey to Hoyt the land thereinafter more specifically described and bounded, conveyed to ?Hoyt, for a nominal consideration, the land set off in the partition as the share of his, the grantor's, heirs-at-law, and nothing more. William M.Tuers testifies that, when he went to California, he reached Sacramento City June 29th, 1874, and left there for home on the 4th of July following. He says that he told Hoyt and Hoyt's lawyer and his father, while he was there, that the partition had taken place. Hoyt alleges that the description of the share was inserted by mistake - that it was supposed to be the description of the whole of the land in Hudson county of which Abraham Tuers, his grantor's father, died seized. The answering defendants object to the bill as being multifarious, inasmuch as it seeks, as they insist, to rectify the alleged mistake in the last-mentioned deed, and also to set aside the partition in the orphans court, and obtain a new one. It is enough to say, on this point, that were the objection well founded, it would, in this case, come too late, since it was made for the first time at the final hearing. It is not well founded, however. The bill does not pray a reformation of the deed. But, without considering any of the other objections made by the answering defendants to a decree for partition, it is sufficient at this stage of the proceedings to say that the complainant's title, which is a legal one, is disputed; and it is an established rule of this court that where the title of the complainant in a partition suit is disputed (unless it is an equitable one), this court will not settle it on the hearing, but will compel the complainant to establish it at law first, and the bill will be retained until he shall have so established it. The land company, by its answer, expressly denies the validity of the deeds to Hoyt, and avers that the grantor therein was, when they were executed.

On the 1st of July, 1874, he executed a deed to Hoyt, by which, in consideration of $1,000, as expressed in the deed, he conveyed a tract of land of one hundred and ten acres, or thereabouts, in this state, described in the deed as being situated in Morris county, about six miles from Morristown, and about three miles from Rockaway, and the same land occupied and possessed by the grantor in person, and by his family, and at that time occupied by William Tuers, his son. The deed conveyed, also, all other pieces, parcels, tracts, lots or bodies of land or real estate in New Jersey which he owned, or of, in or to which he had any kind, nature or character of right, title, claim or interest, legal or equitable, whether the same had been acquired by purchase, bequest, devise, descent or otherwise, and also all the interest, right, title, claim and demand which he then had or might thereafter have or be entitled to as one of the children and heirs-at-Iaw of his father and mother

? In August, 1874, he executed another deed to Hoyt, which, after reciting that he had executed and delivered the deed, of July preceding, and that it contained no specific or accurate description of any real estate, but did contain general and comprehensive reference to the grantor's real estate in this state, and that he intended thereby to convey to Hoyt the land thereinafter more specifically described and bounded, conveyed to ?Hoyt, for a nominal consideration, the land set off in the partition as the share of his, the grantor's, heirs-at-law, and nothing more. William M.Tuers testifies that, when he went to California, he reached Sacramento City June 29th, 1874, and left there for home on the 4th of July following. He says that he told Hoyt and Hoyt's lawyer and his father, while he was there, that the partition had taken place. Hoyt alleges that the description of the share was inserted by mistake - that it was supposed to be the description of the whole of the land in Hudson county of which Abraham Tuers, his grantor's father, died seized. The answering defendants object to the bill as being multifarious, inasmuch as it seeks, as they insist, to rectify the alleged mistake in the last-mentioned deed, and also to set aside the partition in the orphans court, and obtain a new one. It is enough to say, on this point, that were the objection well founded, it would, in this case, come too late, since it was made for the first time at the final hearing. It is not well founded, however. The bill does not pray a reformation of the deed. But, without considering any of the other objections made by the answering defendants to a decree for partition, it is sufficient at this stage of the proceedings to say that the complainant's title, which is a legal one, is disputed; and it is an established rule of this court that where the title of the complainant in a partition suit is disputed (unless it is an equitable one), this court will not settle it on the hearing, but will compel the complainant to establish it at law first, and the bill will be retained until he shall have so established it. The land company, by its answer, expressly denies the validity of the deeds to Hoyt, and avers that the grantor therein was, when they were executed.

     Randolph's notes say on page 93 #313 that Samuel Jacob is "said to be son of Al Tuers and a Miss Demarest", but this is not consistent with his other records of the marriage. It is also not consistent with The Demarest Genealogy, in our file, shows Albert Bertolph born 1837, married Priscilla Demarest.2,4      Albert and Priscilla lived in Teaneck, NJ in 1895 according to the NJ State Census. Albert was a Civil War veteran and is buried at the South Schraalenburgh Churchyard Old North Reformed Church Cemetery, Dumont, Bergen, NJ
