ANDRIES DE Vos was in Beverwyck as early as 1640. He owned land in the town north of " Vossen Kill" (Fox's Creek), which probably derived its name from him. The creek runs from the hill to the river, crosses North Pearl street between Monroe and Canal streets and Broadway between Van Tromp and Columbia streets.

One of them, CATALYNTIE had three husbands, 1st, ARENT ANDRIES BRADT, by whom she had ANDRIES ; SAMUEL, married SUSANNA JACOBSE VAN SLYCKE; DIRCK, married MARIA VAN Ers in 1684; EFFE, married CLAAS VAN PETTEN ; ARIAANTJE, married REYER JACOBSE SCHERMERHORN ; CORNELIA, mar- ried JAN POTTLEMAN. She married, '2d, BARENT JANSE VAN DITMARS, who was killed by the Indians at Schenectady in 1690, by whom she probably had no children. She married, 3d, CLAAS JANS VAN BROCK- HOVEN, of Schenectady, who made a will January 11, 1698, devising his property to the children of his wife by ARENT ANDRIES BRADT. IIe mentions " AREN'T ANDRIES, son of ANDRIES BRADT, who was eldest son of my beloved wife CATELYNTIE ANDRIES DE VOSS," also " CATELYNTIE CLAAS, daughter of my well beloved wife's daughter EFFE VAN PETTEN, wife of CLAAS VAN PETTEN, who was lately married to TEUNIS, the son of DIRK TEUNISE (VAN VECHTEN)." He gave his estate, after the death of his wife, as follows : First, to the children of ANDRIES BRADT, deceased ; second, to SAMUEL BRADT; third, DIRK BRADT; fourth, to EFFE, wife of CLAAS VAN PETTEN; fifth, to ARIAANTJE, wife of RYER SCHERMER- HORN ; sixth, to CORNELIA sometime wife of JAN POTTLEMAN, all six being the children of his wife by her first husband ARENT ANDRIES BRADT.
