HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
Descendants of Thomas Carhart are found all over the United States. In Westchester .county, New York, the name is found as Car- hartt, Carehartt and Carhart. The first rec- ord found in America referring to Thomas ·Carhart is of a joint petition with William Britton for lands on the south side of Staten Island at a place called Great Hill, dated May, 1691. In that year he was clerk of Richmond county (Staten Island), New York. Novem- ber 22, 1691, "a marriage license was granted to Thomas Carhart of Staten Island in the county of Richmond, gentlemen, and Mary Lord." The date and place of marriage have not been found. May 24, 1695, "A deed of Thomas Carhart of Woodbridge, Middlesex .county, New Jersey, gentleman, and Mary his wife, to John Loofburrow of Woodbridge, for «one acre of upland on the south side of Crane Creek, to frame and erect a grist mill, with right of way through the lands of Thomas Carhart." This shows that Thomas and Mary had removed to Woodbridge, New Jersey, prior to 1695. His will proved April 6, 1696, devised his property to his wife during her lifetime and named her sole executrix. Sons, John Robert and William. These were reared under the care of their stepfather, Thomas Warne, of Woodbridge, to which place he had removed from Monmouth county, New Jer- sey, at the time of his marriage with Mary 'Carhart, their mother, in 1698.

The date of his death is unknown. June 1, 1717, he signs a deed with Anne, his wife. This is the only record known of her. In 1745 he signs a deed with Jane, his second wife.

This is one of the oldest
MYNDERSE families of the Mohawk Valley ; has been prominent in Schenectady from the earliest period of its history, and descendants two and a half cen- turies later are found occupying high positions of trust and honor. These descendants are to be found not only bearing the name of Mynderse, but also that of Van Inveren, the name of the town in Holland from which the immigrant ancestor came. . \s will be seen in the following record the intermar- riages of the heads of each generation con- nect the present with the principal carly settlers of Schenectady and the Dutch pio- neers of Albany. Maria Wemp ( Wemple) was a daughter of Jah Wemp and a grand- daughter of Jan Barentse Wemp, who came to Beverwyck in 1643 or 1645. Married Maritje Myndertse, who after his deth mar- ried Sueer Teunise Van Velsen, "the village miller," both of whom peri. hed in the Indian massacre of February 0, 1600 Sarah Swart was a daughter of Esaias and Fva Jan Scho- enderwoert (alias Van Woert) and grand- daughter of Teunis Cornelise Swart one of the original proprietors of Schenectady, who married Elizabeth Vander Linde. Geer Iriy Van Slyek was a granddaughter of the first settler of the name in Beverwyck, and An- netje Vedder wa- of the fourth generation from Ilerman Vedder, the "founder " Other prominent and fmibar names will be noted in the record.
Two brothers, Myndert and Carsten 1.red-

HUDSON AND MOHAWK VALLEYS
erickse, came to Beverwyck from Holland and were among the early settlers. They were smiths and followed their trade there. Among their landed estate was the property now the corner of Broadway and Spanish (now Hud- son) street, Albany. They were members of the Lutheran church, of which Myndert was an elder and Carsten deacon in 1680. The latter died about 1690, leaving four children. Myndert Frederickse was armorer to the fort in 1697. He made his will, March 21. 1703- 04, proved May 1, 1706, in which he speaks of "My house hard by the church on Cow Street" ( now Broadway) and of "my church book with silver clasp and chain." He mar- ried (first) Cathalyn Burchard (Burger) in New Amsterdam, August 5, 1656; (second) Retertje Teunise Van Vechten, in 1663. At the date of his will he had five living children : Frederick, born in 1657; Burger, 1660; Neelt- je, married Hendrick Douw; Reinier and Jo- hannes, who settled in Schenectady.
(II) Johannes Myndertse or Mynderse, son of Myndert Frederickse, of Albany, settled in Schenectady in 1700. By trade he was a blacksmith and armorer to the fort. Like most of the other residents of the village, he was an Indian trader. In 1723 he was ar- rested by the sheriff of Albany county and brought before the Albany common coun- cil for having, contrary to the ordinances of the city of Albany, "received into and har- bored in his house Indians with beaver and. other peltry." This was a serious charge, as the Albany traders claimed exclusive privi- leges with the Indians. He was fined ten pounds, which he refused to pay. whereupon the sheriff was ordered to keep "said Myn- derse safely in the common jail." But he shortly escaped, and as a punishment for his negligence the sheriff was ordered to pay Mynderse's fine and cost. Mynderse appealed his case to the supreme court of the province, sitting in New York City, and gained his case ; he received from the common council damages which with fees and costs amounted to forty-one pounds nine shillings and three pence. It is believed the decision effectually established the rights of citizens of Sche- nectady to the same privileges of trade as the citizens of Albany. Johannes Myn- derse made his will, May 4. 1754. proved September 7, 1757, wherein he speaks of his three sons, Myndert, Jacobus and Reynier, and distributed his estate between them. He then owned property on the west corner of Mill lane and State street, also on the north side of State street, where he had a black- smith shop and a bolting house. He married Geertruy, daughter of Jacques Cornelise Van
Slyck, and granddaughter of Cornelise, the first settler of the family in Beverwyck. Chil- dren: 1. Myndert, see forward. 2. Margaret, baptized in Albany, June 8, 1707; married Pieter Groenendyk. 3. Jacobus, baptized April 22, 1709, in Albany. 4. Reynier, Octo- ber, 1710. 5. Petries, April 19, 1718.
(III) Myndert, son of Johannes and Geer- truy (Van Slyck) Mynderse, learned and followed his father's and grandfather's trade of blacksmith. He inherited under his father's will lot No. 93 State street, Schenectady, and the blacksmith shop next east of it. He made his will in 1761, proved July 18, 1763, and speaks of wife Maria, sons Johannes, Barent and Harmen, and daughters Geertruy, Mar- gareta and Sarah. To Johannes he gave his house and blacksmith shop. He married, Jan- uary 15, 1736, Maria, daughter of Jan and Sara (Swart) Wemp (Wemple). Children : I. Geertruy, baptized July 11. 1736; married Petrus Vander Volgen. 2. Parach, January 7, 1739. 3. Margareta. September 28. 1740. 4. Johannes, see forward. 5. Margareta, May 27, 1744; married Teunis A. Swart. 6. Bar- ent, February 8, 1747. 7. Harmen, July 2, 1749. 8. Sara, December 26, 1752.
(IV) Colonel Johannes (John) Mynderse, son of Myndert and Maria (Wemp) Myn- derse, was baptized October 18, 1741, died October 29. 1815. He was also a blacksmith, judging from the fact that to him his father left by will his blacksmith shop and tools. Many of this generation are borne upon the revolutionary rolls of New York state as sol- diers both in the line and in the Albany county regiments. John Mynderse was captain of the Second Regiment, Albany county militia, commanded by Colonel Abraham Wemple. He was colonel of militia after the revolu- tion and a man of prominence. He married Annetje, daughter of Simon and Maria (Truax) Vedder, granddaughter of Arent and Sarah (Groot) Vedder, and great-grand- daughter of Harmen Albertse Vedder, the first settler of the Vedder family in America, and trader in Beverwyck before the year 1657.
