John Frelinghuysen was the second son of Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen (1691–1749), a German who had lived for a short time in Holland before emigrating in 1720. John married Dinah Van Bergh (1725–1807), and they had two children: Eva Frelinghuysen (1751 – c. 1826 ), Frederick Frelinghuysen (1753–1804), who became a major general in the American Revolution .
John preached in the revivalistic style of Calvinism that his father was known for as part of the First Great Awakening . He continued to serve the parishes in New Jersey that his father had served at Raritan , Millstone, and North Branch . John lived in the Old Dutch Parsonage in Somerville where he served the three local congregations until his death. He took in students and a room in the house served as a Dutch Reformed religious seminary. This center of education was a forerunner of the New Brunswick Theological Seminary and Queen's College, which later developed into Rutgers University .[2] [3] Old Somerville Cemetery .[1]
