Cornelius. No positive evidence has been found of relationship between this Cornelius, and the Peter who has been already mentioned. But Peter's name is recorded at Albany as settled there in 1642, and in an instrument executed by him at that place, in 1640, he is described as twenty-four years old ; and the name of Cornelius appears at the same place as a resident, and as making contracts there, in 1657. It is therefore probable that Cornelius was son of Peter. The first record found of Cornelius is an agreement,dated January 29, 1657, for the purchase of a house at Albany from Marcellus Janssen (Van Bommel), for 911 guilders, equal to $364.40. And on the 19th of September of the same year he was surety for William Brouwer.
On the 1st of May, 1658, he brought an action of debt,at Albany, against Cornelius Teunnissen, for his share of the expense of foddering and taking care of the town bull during the winter. Judgment for plaintiff, ten guilders, equal to $4.00.
On the 25th of November of the year following, an order was made, upon his request, for the appointment of curators over the estate at Esopus, left by Gysbert Philipsen, who had been murdered by the Indians at that place.
He made a lease, May 30, 1662, to Lambert Huybertse, of lots one and sixteen at Esopus.
On the 25th of April, 1663, Cornelius obtained a grant of twelve morgens of land at Esopus, Ulster County. Thisland was at Hurley, and contained nearly twenty-six acres. In the Book of Patents, in the Secretary of State's office, is a confirmatory patent to Cornelius Wynkoop, dated June 28, 1667, of a parcel of land at Esopus, near the new village, to the west of Nicholas Yarlett, on the west side of the creek, containing about twenty-four acres ; also a lot west of the highway, and west of Lambert Huybertse's all granted origiually by Director Stuyvesant. This " new village " is now Hurley.
On the 30th of March, 1670, the Commissioners for laying out land at Esopus, allowed Cornelius to lay out his two parcels of land at Hurley in one farm, on condition that he set off five morgens for the assistance of Marbletown. In the annexed Eegister of Patents to inhabitants of the town of Hurley, there is for Cornelius Wynkoop twenty-four acres and forty-eight acres.
The place at Hurley, now owned and occupied by George, No. " 275," has been for a long series of years in the continuous occupation of a male line of the family
In 1671 he was elected an Elder of the Eeformed Protestant Dutch Church at Kingston. Hermanus Blom was at this time, or had been recently, Pastor.
On the 10th of June, 1672, he was appointed one of the two new Commissaries of Kingston. He was again appointed October 6, 1673, and served until August 14,1674.
He was Schepen of Hurley in 1G73. On the 5th ot July, 1674, lie was witness to the renewal of a treaty with the Indians.
Cornelius, on the 1 1th of August, 1070, appeared before William La Montague, Secretary for the Honorable Justices at Kingston, and made his will, " leaving behind his lawful wife and seven children." On the 10th of May,1679, "Maria, widow of Cornelius Wynkoop" — signing herself "Maria Langedyck, widow of Cornelius Wynkoop" — made her will, appointing "for tutors or guardians of her minor children, Wessel Ten Brook and William De Meyer." She declared that her " oldest son Johannes shall first have the silver piece from the fleet of Port Heen." She called Marytje her oldest daughter, and Benjamin her youngest son.
The record at Kingston of the baptism of her children Catharine and Benjamin, call her simply Marytje Jans.
In March, 1000, among the immigrants by the "Love," was Marytje Jansen, maiden, and in the same month, in the " Gilded Beaver," was Maria Jans, orphan daughter.
An inventory of the property sold at auction, of Cornelius, was made in 1077. The guardians under Mrs. Wynkoop's will were, on the 8th of February, 1081, ordered to account for the property by Spring. The Administrators let her property in 1081.
So information has been obtained as to the dates of birth or of baptism of their children Marytje, Johannes, or Gerrit. But the descriptions in Mrs. Wynkoop's will, and a comparison of the given dates of birth or of baptism, with the order of sequence of the names in two deeds, make it seem probable that Marytje or Johannes was the oldest child, that Evert was third and Gerrit fourth. Then followed the others, Nicholas, Catharine, and Benjamin. Nicholas and Catharine disappear from view, after the record of their baptism, and their inclusion in the " seven children" specified in their father's will. It is probable that they died before majority.
A deed was made September 1, 1697, by Johannes, Evert, Gerrit, and Benjamin, and Moses Dupuis, to Jacob Rutse, of lauds whereof Cornelius Wynkoop, deceased, late of Kingston, was in possession. And a partition deed was executed April 26, 1715, by Major Johannes, Captain Gerrit, and Benjamin, and Moses Dupuis, to Evert Wynkoop.

He is mentioned May 11, 1775, as one of the Committee of Hurley to choose deputies to the New York Provincial Convention ; and again November 7, 1775, when they chose among others Dirck Wynkoop, Jr., No. " 156." Was Chairman of the Associators of Hurley, July 6, 1775. As Chairman of the Hurley Committee, he notified the Provincial Congress of the election of militia officers. There was a dispute as to the field officers of the Northern Regiment of Ulster County, and in response to the Provincial Convention, he was nominated for Major.
Was Major of the First Regiment, Ulster County, say October 25, 1775, and May 1, 1776. At the instance of the Field officers of Ulster County, he was, in October, 1776, placed in command of 200 men to guard the passes of the Hudson. Major Adrian's bill, for £16. Is. 4£&, for pay and subsistence of 200 men raised in Ulster County, for 27 days guarding the passes of the Hudson, was allowed January 18, 1777. * The appointment was for two months' service. 2 His last will, describing him as of Hurley, dated April 22, 1795, proven Aug. 21, 1795, gave his whole estate to his wife Catharine, and his nephew, John C. Wynkoop. It mentioned his brother Dirk, and Cornelius Dmnond, son of his sister Elizabeth. 3 Perhaps Dirk was a brother-in-law, or half-brother.
Cornelius D. was killed by a negro, who mistook him for his son, whom he meant to kill.
Cornelius D. was appointed Major of the Third Regiment, June 30, 1775, under Colonel James Clinton, raised in Ulster and Dutchess Counties. He was promoted to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the same regiment, August 2, 1775, and was ordered to muster the companies of Captains Hasbrouck and Brown. He was made Colonel April 11, 1776. He was one of the Associators of Hurley July 6, 1775. A list of officers of his regiment is given in Force's American Archives.
She was daughter of Eoelof Kiersted aud Eyke Boosa, and a descendant of Annetje Webber, wife of Eoelof Jansen, and afterward of Rev. Everardus Bogarctus, who is familiarly and expensively known to her descendants, to Trinity Church, and to the courts of New York, as Anneke Janse. Roelof Jansen and wife had a daughter, Sarah Eoeloffe, who was married to Hans Kiersted, and their son Eoelof Kiersted was husband of Eyke Eoosa.
The ancestor of the Kiersteds was killed in France for his religion, and his dead body was dragged through the street by the hair of his head. His son, who was a weaver of line fabrics, was stripped of his property. Hiwife peddled needles and other small things. Both were industrious, and they got together considerable money, which they invested in black broadcloth, and bringing the cloth with them to New Amsterdam, they found profitable sale, for some conspicuous man had recently died, and black goods were in demand, while the supply was short. The sale of the cloth gave them such a start that they were in possession of a large property at the time of their death.
Gerrit took the oath of allegiance to the British in 1689, in Ulster County. In the year 1700 he was Ensign of a foot company in the counties of Ulster and Dutchess, under Coenraad Elmendorf, Captain. In 1712 he was Deacon in the Dutch church at Kingston, and as such joined in a petition for its incorporation.
He was known as Gerardus at Esopus, where he was engaged in farming until 1717, when he sold his land in Ulster County, and removed to the township of More-land, then Philadelphia, now Montgomery, County, Pennsylvania, where his name was transformed to Gerrit.
