  • Notes 
    • Isaac Kingsland and his brother, Gustavus, came from England to
      the Barbados in 1660-63, then to New York about 1690. They
      received from their Uncle, Maj or Nathaniel Kingsland of the
      Barbados, a large tract of land in New Jersey. Isaac was the
      first Kingsland to settle in New Jersey.
      Isaac settled on the Passaic River near Belleville. He was Lord
      of the Kingsland Manor in Bergen County, New Jersey. The
      Kingsland Homestead on the corner of Kingsland Road and
      Lakeside Drive was built in 1704 by Isaac Kingsland. In the
      cellar are a dungeon and chains used to subdue unruly slaves of
      the mill owner. It was one and one-half stories high with two
      one story wings and was built of nati ve red sandstone.
      Isaac was high sheriff of Essex County in 1683 and was
      comm issioned a member of the Council of East New Jersey in 1684
      to 1698.
      Prior t o going to the Barbados and then settling in New Jersey,
      Isaac was a clerk in a mercantile firm in London. He married
      his employer's daughter, Elizabeth, and this so angered the
      father that he turned them both out, firing Isaac. Isaac wrote
      to his wealthy Uncle Nathaniel Kingsland of the Island of
      Barbad os seeking his aid. In reply, Major Kingsland promised
      him the New Barbados Territory of East Jersey and a dwelling if
      he would come to America and settl e there.
      Isaac Kingsland became an influential force in the development
      of Ea st Jersey. He served three times as a member of the Kings
      Council under Lord s Niel and Campbell. He also held the title
      of Lord High Sheriff and served under Governor Hamilton in
      1692.
      Isaac was the son of Robert. Robert and his brother Major
      Nathaniel Kingsland were direct descendents of Nicholas Franci s
      Kingsland III, Viscount of Kingsland.
      Major Kingsland was a sugar plantati on owner in Christ Parish on
      the Island of Barbados. His estate consisted of "340 acres, a
      large manor home, 166 slaves and 5 white servants". He sent
      William Sandford in 1668 to claim and establish ownership of
      the East Jersey Territory known as New Barbados Neck.
