Death - March 16, 1851 Richmond, Va
John Freeman Schermerhorn was a graduate of Union College. He entered
the ministry of the Congregational Church but left it in 1813 for the
Dutch Reformed. In 1828 he was appointed secretary of Domestic Missions
for that church and was very successful in organizing new churches and
raising money for benevolent purposes. In 1832 Pres. Jackson appointed
him Indian Commissioner and during his tenure he acquired some 400,00
acres of land in Virginia. He was the author of the first Schermerhorn
genealogy to take definite form. Though it is still in manuscript form
only, it is valuable because it contains much interesting data pertaining
to the Schenectady Branch. In 1840 John Freeman Schermerhorn moved to
Carroll Co., Ind. His wife had the first piano in that part of the
country. It is now in possession of the Vander Volgen family of that
county. The Rev. Mr. Schermerhorn was a forceful preacher and a public
debater of unusual mental vigor, acuteness, tact, and argumentive
ability. In person he was very large, robust, and commanding.
