The Wyckoff-Garretson House is a historic house located at 215 South Middlebush Road, Somerset, New Jersey which was built in 1730 by Cornelius Wyckoff. ==Cornelius Wyckoff== Cornelius Wyckoff was the son of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff. He moved to Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey in 1701. In collaboration with seven other Dutch farmers, they bought 10,000 acres (40 km²). Cornelius' portion was 1,200 acres (5 km²) which was divided for his four sons: John Wyckoff, Jacob Wyckoff, Peter Wyckoff, and Simon Wyckoff. John was the first of the sons to occupy the land, near Middlebush, New Jersey sometime before 1711. In 1730, he built the first half of the house bringing in Dutch craftsmen from Brooklyn and using white oak. The house was later enlarged by Samuel Garretson from Hillsborough, New Jersey in 1805. It is currently being restored by the Meadows Foundation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wyckoff-Garretson House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
