Aantekeningen

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

and it is believed to be the original homestead. Part of the present house is reputed to be one hundred and fifty years old. A painting of the same, by William H.Snyder, of Brooklyn, under the name of " Wynkoop House," was on exhibition at the Academy of Design a few years since. Cornelius seems to have been a resident of Albany as late as October 19, 1665, for he is recorded in the Deacon's Book of that date, as giving, for alms, 17 guilders 10 stivers.

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.
