Hi Leslie, As I was doing more searches in Google, and Rootsweb, it appears that in some places there were two Cornelius Van Dyck's and then there is a Henrick Van Dyck and one wife was a Schuyler which I thought maybe that would be a connection. I also saw that Co. Van Dyck gave some of his land to other military men but don't know where the land was. I think you will see that he was given land because of his military action. But then I wasn't really paying attention to whether this occurred before or after the Revolutionary War.

Mary, I am not a genealogist. I am just a criminal defense lawyer. So I am never confident that I have the right person unless I have found him mentioned in a deed for a plot of land, which is in the right neighborhood, or named in a will with other people whom I have been able to tie to the land. Consequently, I am for ever asking stupid questions, hoping to gain the assistance of a descendant of the person whom I am seeking. Give me a tax list, or turn me loose in the Recorder of Deeds Office (or County Clerk's Office, if you prefer New York Legalese) and I am in hog heaven. Thanks again for your help.
