"Keirstead Mountain came into being in the late eighteenth century,roughly 1759 and following. James, Johnson, Isaiah, Benjamin, Hezekiahand Luke Caisted (Keirstead or Kierstead, according to which branch ofthe family one belongs) were of Dutch origin. They were natives of NewYork and were fifth-generation descendants of Anneke Jans, the mostfamous woman in North Amsterdam in 1759, according to a plaque unveiledin1902 on a building at 23 Whitehall Street, New York City. She left her62 acres of land on the south end of Manhattan Island to her children,five of whom willingly disposed of the property. One refused to join inconveyance, this giving rise to the forlorn hope of hundreds ofKeirsteads descendants that they may one day share in the wealth of thisvast city property to which one ancestor did not give up his rights. Theycame with the Loyalists and all settled along the St. John River. Johnsonreturned to New York and the others moved to Gondola Point and thenceeastward to give Keirsteadville and northward to populate the mountainthat bears the Keirstead name. The first white child born on themountain was an Elizabeth (Eliza?) Keirstead, who in later years marriedone William Marr, who had settled on Jordan Mountain. He took his brideto his home by means of a handsled."
