Colonel Samuel Ryerse, his adventures, settlement, and
character, in the County of Norfolk; in letters by his son,
the late Rev. George J. Ryerse; and in a memorandum, including
a history of the early settlement of the County of Norfolk,

Colonel Joseph Ryerson, his adventures, sufferings, and
settlement in the County of Norfolk, U.C.; by an intimate
friend of the family 257
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.
