Peter Schuyler (New Jersey)
- Peter Schuyler (New Jersey)
Peter Schuyler (1710–1762) was a wealthy Dutch farmer from New Barbadoes Neck (now western Hudson County), New Jersey.
Schuyler was descended from Arent Schuyler of Rensselaerswyck (Albany), New York. During the French and Indian Wars, Schuyler, a colonel of militia, raised a detachment of volunteer soldiers to fight in the Jersey Blues. Schuyler and his detachment were captured when Fort Oswego surrendered to the French under the command of General Marquis de Montcalm. Schuyler remained a captive in Montreal until he was released. Schuyler later returned to service and ransomed around 114 of his former men from captivity in Quebec with his own money. [Joan F. Doherty (1986), "Hudson County - The Left Bank"]
