IO. JACOB CORNELISZEN STILLE,2 (2) bap. Sept. 27, 1643. It was a custom of great antiquity in Holland, and of common practice among the early settlers of New Netherland, to add to the name given to a male at his birth or baptism that of his father's first name with the addition thereto of zen, zoon, se, or sen, meaning son. To the female's name was added her father's Christian name, with the addition usually of s, and sometimes (though paradoxical) zen or se. His name appears more frequently in the records as Jacob Corneliszen, i. e., Jacob son of Cornelis, than as Jacob Corneliszen Stille or Jacob Stille. His sisters Neeltje and Janneken are called Neeltje Cornelis, Jannetie Cornelis, and rarely Neeltje and Jannetie Stille. His sons took the surnames of Somerendyk and WOERTENDYK, finally retaining the latter as their family name. He m. Irst, March 5, 1671, Aeltje Fredericks from Brasiel.

VAN SCHAICK. (FIRST FOUR GENERATIONS.)
Besides the two families of Goosen Gerritse and Claas Van Schaick, who early settled on the upper Hudson, and are referred to by Prof. Pearson, in the RECORD, vol. 2, p. 191, there was another of the same name, of which Cornelis Aertszen, who settled in New Amsterdam prior to 1641, was the head. In January, 1669-70, Ariaen Cornelissen, Hendrick Cornelissen, and Lysbeth Cornelissen, described as the lawful heirs of Cornelis Aertsen, con- veyed to Capt. John Berry, of Bergen, in New Jersey, two parcels of land on the Island of Manhattan ; " the first, lying and being on east end of Cor- nelis Jacobsen (Stille), and on the west end of Corlears plantation, &c ; " the second, " lying against land formerly belonging to Hans Kierstede, be- ginning from the first marsh, over against Augustine Hermans' land, from thence to the fence of Bastiaen, the negroes land, and so to the fence of Thomas Hall's land ; which said two parcels of land were confirmed unto the said heirs of Cornelis Aertsen, by a patent from Rt. Hon. Gov. Francois Lovelace, bearing date, 16th Sept., 1669, &c."1 Of his personal history but little is known ; Mr. Valentine in his History of the City of New York, says he was at one time the tenant of Gov. Stuyvesant's farm, on the Bowery, and long supplied the families of the city with country produce ; he was afterwards a tenant on the old Damen farm, east from Broadway, a short distance above the city gate. He probably came to New Amsterdam with his wife Belitje Hendricks, there being no record of their marriage here. He was sponsor at the baptism of his gr-dau. Belitje, Oct. 1, 1663, and in 1665 was living without the land gate ; he died between the year 1665, and Sept. 1669. About the year 1680, his sons began to use the surname of VAN SCHAICK. At his 2d marriage, July 10, 1662, to Weyntie Elberts, widow of Aert Willemszen, he is called the widower of Belitje Hendricks. By his 2d wife had no issue.

In tracing the pedigree of this family, some facts in reference to Capt. Goosen Gerritse Van Shaick's family have been gathered which deserve notice. ANNATIE [Anna] LIEVENS, widow of GOOSEN GERRITSE VAN SCHAICK removed from Albany, and joined, with her daughter Margareta, the Dutch Church in New York, Sept. 4, 1691. Her will is dated April 27, 1702 ; proven Nov. 19, 1702 ; names son Levinus ; daughters, Gerritje Drayer ; Catharina, wife of Mathew Clarkson; Anna Maria, wife of John Van Cortlandt ; and Margareta ; also her granddaughter Margariet, wife of Robert Livingstone, Jr.
