  • Notes 
    • Peter Z. Elmendorf was a respected citizen of Somerville; during a portion of his career he resided at New Brunswick, NJ for a obituarynotice in the N.Y. Herald July 20, 1852 stated that he was "late of NewBrunswick, NJ" that he died at No. 163 Joralemon St., Brooklyn, NY "in the 77th year of his age; he departed life in the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Samuel Sloan. In a wide community he was looked up to as a leaderdistinguished for his urbanity and broad intelligence. He was a devotedchurchman and was for upwards of 50 years an Elder in the Dutch Church. Mr. Elmendorf was an old time gentleman most particular in deportment and punctilious in observing the fine courtesies of life. His children, including his sons-in-law revered him. He insisted in all familyrelations on a strict observance of the fifth commandment. Doubtless his presence led to a certain repression of the spirits of young people. He subscribed to the best periodical literature of the day and no one was permitted to open or cut the pages of the Magazines without hispermission. The deportment of the children at table and in church was strictly supervised. His son-in-law, Sam Sloan, enjoyed recalling incidents of the dignified way his father-in-law carried himself.
