Quit-claim deed in which Michael H. and Cornelius H. Vreeland of "Achqueghenonck," transfer a land title to Michael D. and Elizabeth Vreeland, of Hackensack. The first location, at that time part of Essex County, is now Clifton, Passaic, and Paterson. The Vreelands, tracing their New Amsterdam roots to 1638, were a prominent family in New Jersey history.
