page 719):

BEGIN

  Abram Brands built a fine residence near Zion Chapel, where his son-in-law,
John Albertson, now resides.  The Brands family of Warren County is
descended from Jacob Brands, who came from Bucks County, Pennsylvania,
about 1775, and settled on a farm two miles from the Delaware River, owned
by his brother-in-law, Aaron Feistler.  Jacob Brands had one daughter and
three sons, namely:  David, the father of Jacob D., David, James, John B.,
Mrs. William Blair, Mrs. D. Silverthorn, and Mrs. D. Brown; Jacob the father
of Daniel B., David I., and of three daughters; and James, the father of
William, John, David, Jacob, and of Mrs. James Lisk.

From "Pioneer Families of Northwestern New Jersey" by William C. Armstrong
in 1979:

paraphrasing

Jacob D. Brands' wife was Heyltje [Ed Note - Helen? ... on Daniel B. Brands'
death certificate his mother is named as Ellenor] Van Auken Van Benschoten
[Ed Note - Van Scoten?].  Heyltje is the daughter of Cornelius Van Benschoten
and Heyltje Quick (this couple is mentioned in 5.472).  Jacob D. Brands
is the son of Jacob Brands and Dorothy Feaster [Ed Note - Feistler].
The Brands family emigrated from Germany to Bucks County, Pennsylvania
and moved to Warren County, New Jersey in 1775.  [Ed Note - Warren County,
New Jersey did not exist in 1775, that area would have been part of Sussex
County, New Jersey then.]

Jacob and Dorothy married on February 12, 1761 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
They moved to Warren County, New Jersey in about 1775 [Ed Note - again,
this would have been Sussex County in 1775] and settled on a farm about 2
miles from the Delaware River.

Dorothy was born on October 2, 1735 in Endhori, Switzerland, the daughter
of John Feaster (originally Pfister) and Rachel Gassman.  They emigrated
to Bucks County in 1739.

Jacob was born on April 8, 1769 and always lived near Blairstown in Sussex
County and later Warren County.  Jacob's wife was baptized on December 26,
1765 in Walpack Dutch Reformed Church.

Cornelius Van Benschoten served in the Revolutionary War.  His name appears
in William S. Stryker's Register as Cornelius Benscota.
