Cindy, I am interested in your post re: a son for Hendrick and Jannetje named "Jacobus" b. 1747. Where would he have been born please? I show their last child, William Ennis Cortright, bp. October 31, 1739 in the Machackemack RDC, Orange Co., NY. Since Jannetje was born in 1706 and had her first child in 1725, I would think it a bit strange that she had one as late as 1747 when she was 41 years old? I did find the bp. of 2 children for *some* Jacobus Cortright and Jannetje Van Aken in the Smithfield RDC (located in Shawnee, now Monroe Co., PA) on 18 Sep 1785. No sponsors are shown but the records say "Elizabeth Chambers, b. 1 Jul 1782 and Levi Van Aken, b. 13 Dec 1784." I could find no marriage record for this Jacobus and Jannetje. Cynthia << As for the Jacobus Cortright b. 1747 to Hendrick C. Cortright & Jannetje Ennes, he's very interesting. I have 2 wives for him: Anna Quick & Jannetje Van Aken. I believe all his kids were baptised over in the Smithfield, PA Dutch Church. I was in touch w/ some folks a few years ago that believed that this Jacobus was the progenitor of the Greene Co, PA folks. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If so this would be a good place for me to look as Greene & Beaver Cos are close. Thanks, Cindy >>
