• AFN: 8FC4-DW

Notes:

Nailtie & her Parents are found recorded in the DRC Bap. records of Staten Island on a loose piece of paper neither date nor year upon it p. 67.
In Neeltje Corsen's father Christian Corsen's will dated 5 FEB 1762, he begueathed two 40 acre land sites to his daughter Neeltie, the wife of France Gebrants & after her decease, I give & bequeath the same lands to her two sons Christian & Daniel.... Christian & Daniel paying the sum of fifty pounds a piece to their two sisters, Eleanor or Nelly & Antje, or to their heirs or assigns in six months after the deceased of their mother.
Since there were other Garbrants men in N.Y. who could have had a daughter Elizabeth who md. Peter Post 14 Nov 1760 (N.Y. mgs., Bef 1784,p.164) and only one Frans Gerbrants Jr. who had a daughter Elizabeth buried 4 OCT 1731 at NYDC. I have gone with the evidence stated in the will that one of Frans & Neeltje Gerbrants daughters was deceased & have assumed it was Elizabeth, since the mg. in 1660 does not name a father & the burial lists Frans Gerbrants Jr.
Eleanor Garrebrants gravestone reads: died 29 Jan -- age 80 yrs. 8 Mos., so her abt b. year 1821.

Notes:

(1) He was baptized at the N.Y. Dutch Reformed Church 23 Dec 1705. NYG&B rec. 974.7 B4ne Vol. 2
p. 313. No death date is found for him in N.Y.City nor in Staten Island where he lived and raised his
family.
His marriage probably took place on Staten Island where his wife, Cornelia Corssen, daughter of
Christian Corssen & his wife Antje Gerretse Croesen lived.
The probability is that the marriage was recorded on Staten Island, c. 1727, but the early
church records are not extant, the earliest marriage being 1764 in the Moravian Church & 1754
in St. Andrews Episcopal Church.

The baptismal records of Cornelia & Daniel were the only baptisms of the 6 children found in the records & one of these, Cornelia, had been in the Dutch Church of Brooklyn & the other, Daniel in, New York. As the family at this time lived on Staten Island, it was necessary in order to baptize these children to make in addition to several miles travel over land, about a six-mile journey over water. Because these two children were baptized in churches other than on Staten Island, and because the Dutch Church on Staten Island had been destroyed & their records lost, This assumption seems verified by Clute, P.256, in his Annals of Staten Island, by the following; " In 1714, Gov. Hunter executed a grant to the reformed Protestant Dutch Church, to build a new church on the North Shore. Probably on the site of the one, as was said above, existed thirty-four yrs. before."
Not withstanding the fact that baptismal records of only two of the six children of Capt. Cornelius Corssen & Marretje Vandergrift were found in the records, it has been possible by the record of deeds, by which Catherine, Christian, Cornelia And Benjamin conveyed their one-sixth interest in the estate of their deceased father to their brother, Jacob, and the record of a census of Staten Is., taken about 1706, to definitely fix the number and names of Capt. Cornelius Corssens surviving children & to determine the year of birth.
Cornelius Corsen & his family removed to Staten Is. about 1678. Here Capt. Cornelius raised his family, destined to become one of the most influential on the Island & one of the largest land owners in the County.

Cornelius married Marritje Jacobs Vandergrift 11 Mar 1666, New York City, New York, United States. Marritje (daughter of Jacob Leendertsen Vandergrift and Rebecca Frederickse) was christened 29 Aug 1649, New York City, New York, United States; died Bef Sep 1698, , Richmond, New York, United States.

Notes:

His b. date is deducted from his death date listed in "Bergens, Early Settlers of Kings Co". p.82, 974.723 D2b, where his age at death on 7 Mar 1680 was 42 yrs., thus the b. yr. as 1638.

His birth place & mg. are given in "Croesen- Kroesen Family of Staten Island" by L.J.Roney, NYG&B rec Vol. 75, 974 B2n p. 97-102.He married at NYDC 30 Oct 1661, Neeltje Jans, recorded in 974.7 B4ne Vol. I NYDC Mgs. p. 54.

His death is also listed in "History of Brooklyn" by H. Stiles, p. 428 & in the Flatbush Dutch Church rec., NYHS yr bk 1898. 974 C4h p. 107, 89. " Gerret was a member of the Brooklyn RDC in 1661 ; owned land in Brooklyn where he was on the assessmant rolls in 1675 and 1676. He obtained a patent in 1677 for 160 acres on Staten Island and removed there."

Her bap. is listed in DRC of NY bap. NYG&B rec Vol. 2 ,974.7 B4ne p.11 & also in "Bergens, Early Settlers of Kings Co. p. 82, 974 723 D2b. Her parents are given in the " History of Brooklyn" by H. Stiles p.428.
She married (2) Volckert Hendriks Bries,on 31 Oct 1680, Gerret having died on 7 Mar 1680.
She sold the Brooklyn (Gowanus) farm to pay her deceased husbands debts and the children moved to Staten Island, where their father Garret had obtained a patent to 160 acres on the North shore in Sep 29 1677. The father's will was lost in a fire & the whole estate claimed by the elder son Dirck as the heir under the English law . On 2 Feb 1698/9 the younger son Hendrick petitioned to be protected in his rights, left him by his father's will, which had been burned, as he had settled on the property bequeathed him for 12 yrs, since he came of age. A family settlement & conveyances in 1709 released to Hendrick that part of the patent on which his house stood for over a century. A list of information given by the researcher Harriet Stryker-Rhoda.
In Bergens," Early Settlers of Kings Co." he lists 7 children of Gerret Dircksen Croesen & Neeltje Jans , our Dutch researcher says."I would add to the list of children, Neeltje and Trynthe because of interior evidence"; On 3 Apr 1695 Nicholas Backer and Catharine Croeser had a daughter Neeltje bap. at NYDC. The witnesses were Volckert Hendrixen Bries, who was the second husband of Neeltje Jans, wife of Gerret Croesen; the child was being named for Catharine's mother, as was good Dutch practice and consonant with the naming system.
On 22 Apr 1707 at Staten Island, Nisholas Backer had his daughter Trynthe bap. with Gerret Croesen and his sister Neeltje as the witnesses (probably Bro. & Sis. to the mother).
In the 1706 census of Staten Island, Nicholas Backer is listed at age 45, Trinthe (Catharine) Backer is in the place which indicates she was his wife, and there were five children listed for this couple: four girls,Neelthe, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Trinthe; one boy Jacob.
There are 3 bap. for the children of Nicholas Backer and Catharine (Trynthe) Croeser: Neeltje on 3 Apr 1695; Margaret on 11 Apr 1697, both at NYDC; 22 Apr 1707 at Staten Island, Tryntie. The other children are named in their father's will of 15 Jul 1726, proved 27 Aug 1726. (NYW II: 366): my son Jacob Backer; my four daughters, Neelke, Elizabeth, Ann and Catharine; my wife Catharine.
On 20 May 1703 at Staten Island, Henderyck Kroesen had a son bap. with Jacob Crosse & "Tryntje Backers" as witnesses (Tryntje probably sister to the father)
On 18 Oct 1715, Gerret Kroesen had a son bap. at Staten Island with Joris Neeftjes & "Cathareyntje Kroesen" as witness's (Cathareyntje probably a sister to the father
