Hello again, I am ready to move on from Hendrick. But we can still discuss new information if anybody has anything to offer that has been following my posts. I recieved a beautiful scan of a Deed with both Hendrick and Elizabeth Kortrights signatures on it clear as day. Since I mention Elizabeth let's move on to her. Elizabeth "Liddie" Hornbeck, married Hendrick "Henry" Kortright on 28 Dec 1739 in Rochester (Raysester) twp, Ulster Co., NY. This was during the Governship of William Crosby, and when Albany was appointed its first English Mayor, Edward Holland. It would then change in 1747 when the silversmith, Jacob C. Ten Eyck would be the first Dutch Mayor of Albany. Elizabeth and children went with Henry West to Virginia and the South Branch community about 1760 where they bought land as mentioned in the deed above. This area would later become Hampshire County WV. Elizabeth Hornbeck was born May 13th 1722. Five years younger than her husband. She was born in Kingston, NY. Her parents were Johannes "John" HORNBECK and Orseltjen "Urseltje" WESTBROEK. She had Eight Brothers: Benjamin, Richard, Daniel, Samuel, Jonathan, Isaac, Abraham and another Bejamin. She also had two sisters: Annatjen (who married Jeems Simson) and Lena "Eleanor" (That married Cornelius Cutteract). ((He might be a Cutright??)) Elizabeth's Father died eight years after her and Henry moved out west at the Manor of Fox Hall, Kingston, NY (I would like to know more about this place). At least four Brothers went West with her and Henry: Richard, Daniel, Samuel, Jonathan, Abraham and possibly Isaac. That is about all I know about this lovely lady. Maybe we can add to her history.
