NOTE.--Colonel Samuel Ryerse and Colonel Joseph
Ryerson were brothers, and both officers in the British army
during the Revolutionary War; but in the commission of the
former, his name was spelled Ryerse; and it being difficult
at that time to correct such an error, he and his descendants
have always spelt their name Ryerse, though the original name
of the family, in the records of New Jersey, in Holland, and
previously in the history of Denmark, is Ryerson.
