Many on this list have Cutright ancestry.  I was just setting up my pedigree charts for the HCGS pedigree charts project and I noticed that in the earliest generation I had the father born about 1625 and his son born in 1618 - Not real believable.    Does anyone have better information? --Dave   See   http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hcpd/norman/CUTRIGHT/SABASTIAN.htm   DESCENDANTS OF SABASTIAN CUTRIGHT (VAN KORTRYK) =========== == ========= ========  =========== Don Norman   NOTE: The Cutright lines are descended from Sabastian Van Kortryk.  The name changed gradually from the German Van Kortryk to Cutright.   1.SABASTIAN VAN KORTRYK         Sabastian Van Kortryk was born in Holland about 1625. The family is from Kortryk , Belgium (near Waterloo ).   Known child of Sabastian Van Kortryk.     2.  (1). Jan Basiensen            b.c.     1618          m. Annettje Cornellis     2.JAN BASIENSEN KORTRYK   1.SABASTIAN VAN KORTRYK        Jan Basiensen Kortryk, a son of Sabastian Van Kortryk, was born in 1618 in Leerdam, Holland . He married Annetje Cornellis.   Known children of Jan Basiensen and Annettje (Cornellis) Kortryk.     3.  (1). Hendrick Jansen          b.       1648           m. Catherine Hanson Weber     4.  (2). Laurens Jansen   5.        (3). Cornelius Jansen   6.  (4). Maria   ----------------- It is my understanding that the “Van” prefix translates to “son of”.  We see this in many languages such as the “Mac” prefix in Scottish.   Kortryk in Belgium which is very near to Waterloo and Malmade of the Battle of the Bulge fame. The Van prefix may mean that Sebastian was a son of that town.  It may also be that the town was named after a family named Kortryk.    Whether the town was located in Belgium , Holland , or France in 1600 is also a subject to be researched.  I understand that modern Belgians speak French in the south and Dutch in the north.   So the actual nationality and language spoken by Sebastian is a subject to be researched.  It is clear that the family was part of New Amsterdam in America (now New York ) by 1672.  That suggests that they spoke Dutch.   There is an impressive collection on this family in a book at the HCPD library.  Dave Kuhl 210 Glen Eagles Drive Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 e-mail: [email protected]

Dave, Why don't you also send a message to HCPD because they have most of the material on the Cutright family. Raymond Wolfe had a lot and I think that is where most of us got ours.
