Gerret Cornellissen Van Duyn

1632 - 1706

• Name	Gerret Cornellissen Van Duyn
  Born	1632	probably, Nieuwkerken, Zeeland, Netherlands
  Gender	Male
  Died	1706	Flatbush, Kings Co, New York
  Notes	Gerret Cornelise, the common ancestor of the family, emigrated in 1649 from Nieuwkerk in Zeeland; m. Oct. 1663 Jacomina or Jacomynchy Jacobs Swarts of N. A.; d. in 1706. Was a carpenter and wheelwright by trade, and Apl. 9, 1658, while a resident of Brn was fined for refusing to pay towards Do. Polhemius's salary. Aug. 10, 1670, he obtained permission from the director-gen. to return to Holland, and with his wife kept house at Zwolle in Overyssel, but not prospering he returned in 1679 in the ship The Charles, the vessel in which were embarked Pieter Sluyter and Jasper Dankers, De Labidists, whose interesting journal was procured and has been translated by the Hon. H. C. Murphey and published by the L. I. His. Society. He finally settled on a farm partly in N. U. and Flh, conveyed to him by Jacques Cortelyou, his brother-in-law, as per p. 231 of Lib. 1 of Con., which farm he conveyed to his s. Denyse. He also bought tracts of land on the S. side of the main road from the village of N. U. to Flh, which he conveyed to his s. Cornelis Gerretse. His name appears on the patent of N. U. of 1686, and in 1687 he took the oath of allegiance in said town, of which place he was a mag. in 1687 and '88, and justice of the peace in 1689 and '90. From this it is evident that the old Van Duyn house, in which it is supposed he resided and which was demolished a few years ago, was at this period considered to be located within the boundaries of N. U., although as the line is now fixed it would have been in Flh. Will da. June 30, 1705; pro. June 14, 1706; rec. p. 250, Lib. 7, N. Y. surr. off. Issue:--Cornelis Gerretse, b. July 16, 1664; Gerret Gerretse; Denys or Dionys Gerretse; Willem Gerretse; (sup.) Dirck Gerretse of N. J.; Cornelia Gerretse, m. Cornelis Bogaert; Abraham Gerretse; Aeltie Gerretse, m. 1st Jan Thysen Lanen Van Pelt, m. 2d Peter Cornell of Newtown; and Jackomyntie Gerretse, m. George Anderzy or Anderse of N. Y.
