Notes:

Mr Schuyler an an Old-Line Whig, and later as a Republican, manifested much interest in the local issues of the day. He served as justice of the peace, filled the office of chosen freeholder of his township and held various minor positions. He found, however, little pleasure in the exciting scenes of a political career, and seldom abandoned, even temporarily, the congenial labor of the husbandman for the busy arena of politics. He was in his religious belief a firm Episcopalian, and both vestryman and warden in that church, to which he was zealously attached.

The death of Mr. Schuyler occurred on the 19th of May 1878, shortly after the interesting occasion of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage to Mrs. Schuyler who survives him.

Died:
His son, Arent Henry, the subject of this biographical sketch, was born in the Schuyler mansion, on the banks of the Passaic, where much of his early life was spent. When a lad, he became a resident of Jamaica, Long Island, for the purpose of pursuing his studies, and subsequently completed his education under the direction of Rev. Mr. Eigenbrodt. Returning again to the home of his parents, he determined upon the life of an agriculturist as the most congenial to his tastes, and at once became interested in the varied employments of the farm. The early death of his father threw upon him much responsibility, and make his assistance and knowledge especially valuable at this juncture. In the division of the paternal estate he chose that portion now the residence of his widow, located in Kearny township, Hudson Co. Here he erected, in 127, a commodious dwelling, which was destroyed by fire in 1870, and at once rebuilt. The healthful pursuits of a farmer engaged his attention for the remainder of his life.

Mr. Schuyler, was, on the 24th of April, 1828, married to Mary Caroline Kingsland, daughter of Judge Henry W. Kingsland, of New Barbadoes, Bergen Co., and granddaughter of Edmund William Kingsland.
