Hi Richard, Thank you for responding to my query. I am not sure that the Cornelius Van Dyck, the Rev War soldier, is the man who I am looking for. The Cornelius Van Dyck, whom I am seeking died c. 1752. Yesterday afternoon I found George W. Schuyler's book, "Colonial New York : Philip Schuyler and his family" New York: C. Scribner's Son, 1885, 1064 pgs., on line. George W. Schuyler wrote about the Peter Schuyler's real estate holdings. Beginning on page 95 of Volume 2, he deals with the Saratoga Patent. My mind was boggled by Schuyler's brief account of the redistribution of the land within the Saratoga Patent. Schuyler's account left me with more questions than answers. However, Schuyler's list of 1743-Saratoga Patent Propietors appears to be a reasonable place to start. Dirck Ten Broeck 2/14 Gilbert Livingston 2/14 Gerrit Van Horn 1/28 Margatet Livingston Vetch 1/28 Philip J. Schuyler 1/14 Executor of John Schuyler, Jr. 1/14 Margaret Livingston 3/14 Cornelius Van Dyck 2/14 Jan Jansen Bleecker 2/14 At the time of the partition known as the Second Grand Division of the Saratoga Patent, Killian De Ridder signed for the heirs of Cornelius Van Dyck. So now my question is, what were the names of the heirs of Cornelius Van Dyck, who Killian De Ridder represented.

Hi Leslie, I have 6 Cornelis Van Dycks in my file, but not the one you are asking about. I will look up the Schuyler website sometime. I have a number of Schuylers that I have questions about. Richard

Hi Richard, After reading your note, it occurrs to me that maybe I am being too narrow in my interpertation of the data. According to George W. Schuyler, Dirck Ten Broeck, Gilbert Livingston, Gerrit Van Horn, Margart Vetch , Philip J. Schuyler, the Executor of John Schuyler, Jr., and Margaret Livingston all signed a petition requesting that the lands held in common in the Saratoga Patent be partitioned. The date of the petition was 1743. George Schuyler says that Cornelius Van Dyck and Jan Janse Bleecker did not sign this petition. I assumed from George Schuyler's statement, that Cornelius Van Dyck was still alive in 1743. My assumption may be dead wrong. George Schuyler also says that in 1750 John R. Bleecker surveyed the Saratoga Patent and subdivided the lands that had previously been held by tenants in common. The 750-Bleecker plat was "executed" in 1752 and "recorded" in 1763. The Proprietors of the Saratoga Patent who agreed with the Bleecker survey and signed off on it were: 1. John Glen for the heirs of Jan Janse Bleecker; 2. Killian De Ridder* for the heirs of Cornelius Van Dyck; 3. Gerardus Groesbeck for the heirs of Dirck Wessels [Ten Broeck] 4. John Van Rensselaer for the hirs of Peter Schuyler; 5. Robert Livingston; and 6. Johannes Schuyler. So do you have a Cornelius Van Dyck who died close to 1743? Or do you have a Cornelius Van Dyck, who died between 1743 and 1752? If you do, do you know who his heirs were? Did any of the Van Dycks in your database ever settle in the Saratoga Patent? *According to Jane Betsey Willing, On July 19, 1768, Killian De Ridder sold Great Lotts 38 & 47 of the Second Grand Division of the Saratoga Patent to Jacob G. Van Schaick. According to the plat of the Second Grand Division of the Saratoga Patent, Lott 38 & 47 were assigned to Cornelius Van Dyck. (Willing, They Were Here Too, Volume 2 page 17) So that accounts for 2 of Cornelius Van Dyck's 7 Great Lotts. Two down and five to go. Thanks again for your help.
