Ok Folks. I know it has been awhile but I have been Busy. I left off with Elizabeth "Liddie" Hornbeck and her Husband Hendrick "Henry" Kortreght. Married in 28 Dec 1739, Rochester (Raysester) twp, Ulster Co., NY. I have this from JH Abbott on Page 35 of his book 'The Courtright Family". This makes "Henry 22 and "Liddie" was 17 when they were married. Does anyone have any other source for this information? I believe in the documents from the Old Dutch Church of Rochester Twp. I have a Birth for Henry of August 1717, Rochester (Raysester) twp, Ulster Co., NY. However there is no Source for this. There is a record of his baptism on September 22, 1717 in the same church with Witnesses: Louwerens Kortregt and Zara ten Eyk. Which would be his Aunt and Uncle. I have not seen this record, but read about it in a newsgroup. Has anyone seen a copy of it? His baptism is also mentioned by JH Abbott on Page 35 of his book 'The Courtright Family". I have that Liddie was born May 13, 1722. in Rochester (Raysester) twp, Ulster Co., NY. No Source for her Either. I have recorded that her Baptism occured on the same date and I want to know what we actually have a source for, The birth or the Baptism, or both. Please help if you can. I am now going to go back a step further: The parents of Hendrick "Henry" Kortreght were: Petrus "Pieter" Hendricksen Kortright and Marytjen "Mary" Van Garden Petrus died in 1744 in Rochester (Raysester) twp, Ulster Co., NY "John, Cornelis, Lawrence and Peter Cortright subscribe for the minister at Rochester in 1717, and were leading men there." According to JH Abbott on Page 32 of his book 'The Courtright Family", he and Mary were Married that very year on Jan. 9th. Therefore "Henry" was conceived before marriage. Again according to JH Abbott on Page 32 & 35 of his book 'The Courtright Family". "Pieter" and "Mary" had six to eight children: "Hendrick, Rachel, Catherina, Abraham, Tjetjen and possibly Marya and Petrus. Rachel, (their second born) Married Gybert Van Garden. Is he any relation to "Mary" Van Garden? A Nephew perhaps? Their third child, Catrina married Abraham Van Camp about 1742. Two years f\before her Father's Death. >From somewhere I have to Catrina had also been married to a Jacobus Van Garden. Does anyone else have this and is he related in any way to "Mary" or Gysbert. Abraham, bap. Oct 18, 1724 married Cornelia Bunschoten, Sept 18, 1747. Then he remarried to Rebecca Quick. could Rebecca Quick be related to Thomas Theunissen Quick, 1644 - 1698? I was asked this question a while back and wonder how this may fit in here: "...You will have noticed that at the baptism of Cornelis Van Benschoten and Heyltje Quick's daughter, Heyltje van Aaken Van Benschoten, in the Walpack Dutch church on 26 December 1766, the godparents named were Abram P. Cortregt and Rebecca Cortregt. Were they relatives? In the same church on 16 January 1763, Abram Cortregt and his wife Rebecca QUICK had their daughter "Annatie" baptized. The godparents at that baptism were Alexander van Garden and Neeltie QUICK. Could Rebecca Quick and Neeltie Quick be sisters of Heyltje Quick? In the "Minisink Valley Reformed Dutch Church Records, 1716-1830" on page 2 among the earliest baptisms published for the Walpack Church, I found that Thomas Quick and Rachel Emmana had their daughter "Rebecca" baptized on 26September 1742. This Rebecca would be of an appropriate age to be having children in the 1760s. The godparents for little Rebecca were Pieter van Aeken and his wife Russje [Jans Damen]. The appearance of the "van Aken" surnam! e encourages us thatwe might be on the right track :-). Jan Emans, widower of Rachel Stout, born on Long Island, and Neeltjen Van Aaken, young woman, both residing in the Minisink, married 18 November 1724. Their daughter Rachel was baptized on 3 October 1725 (Hoes #3390) at Kingston. The godparents were Johannes H. Schoonmaker and Zara Van Keuren. Both Neeltje Van Aaken and Pieter Van Aaken (the sponsor at Rebecca Quick's baptism) were children of Marinus Van Aaken and Pieternel de Pre. Neeltje was baptized on 11 September 1697 (Hoes #988) in the Kingston Church. The godparents were Moses du Puy and Marritje Wyncoop. And what about the ancestry of Thomas Quick, the father of Rebecca Quick? He was baptized on 12 August 1716 at Kingston (Hoes #2423), the son of Juriaan Kwik and Rebecca Tietsoort. The godparents were Johannes Rutsz and Catryntjen Beekman. Juriaan Quick was baptized at Kingston (Hoes #181) on 20 April 1679, the son of Thomas Theunissen Quick and Reimerick ! Jurriaens. The godparents were Jan Joosten, Maeiken Hendrixs, and Theunes De Key. It is also of interest that Thomas and Reimerick had a daughter named "Heyltje". She was baptized at Kingston (Hoes #580) on 21 July 1688 with her name spelled "Elletje", Godparents were Jacob Rutsen, Klaes Jurien, and Martha Rutsen. Their next child was a Daughter, Tjaetjen, bap. Aug. 27, 1727, m. Cornelis Kortright, dec. 6, 1747. Who was this Cornelis Kortright? Annetje, was born next, Bap. Feb. 10, 1734, m. Alexander Van Garden, May 6, 1750. Yes another Van Garden, how does he fit in with the others? I know nothing about Marya and Petrus. I do not have any record of Marytjen "Mary" (Van Garden) Kortright's Death. Ok. That is enough thought for now. Let me know what you may have extra on these people. If you have a will handy or some historical data/stories on them you would like to share with the group please do. Thank you for taking the time on the line so far. Jay Steffens
