BUSKIRK, ABRAHAM VAN. A doctor in Bergen County, New Jersey, Buskirk sided with the crown in the Revolution. He was lieutenant colonel of the New Jersey Volunteers in the Loyalist brigade of Cortlandt Skinner. His son was Lieutenant Jacob Van Buskirk, whose capture on Staten Island in November 1777 created a short-lived crisis for Washington as local Patriots attempted to try Van Buskirk for treason.
