KIERSEN.
Jan Kiersen claims a notice among the patentees as the direct successor of William Haldron. He chose to write his name Ciersen, a departure neither warranted by the derivative word nor followed by Kiersen's children, for which reasons we adopt the usual spelling of the records. He was the son of Kier Wol- ters, and was born at Arnhout, in Drenthe, about 1655. Sep- tember 8, 1685, at about 30 years of age, he married Gerritie, daughter of Captain Jan Van Dalsen. She was born in New England. The next year Kiersen and his father-in-law obtained from the town a lease of part of the Great Maize Land, on Jochem Pieters' Hills (Harlem Heights, below Fort Washington), for a term of 12 years. But the lands there being laid out and allotted to the inhabitants in 1691, Kiersen, on July 2, 1694, bought, "for 1000 guilders in money," the lots, Nos. 16 and 18, from Thomas Tourneur, as purchased by him from Holmes and Waldron, the original drawers. In March, 1696, Kiersen obtained · the signatures of "every inhabitant of the town" to a paper grant- ing him "a half morgen of land from the common woods, lying at the southeast hook of the land that Samuel Waldron has drawn out of the common woods, which half morgen of land he may build upon, thereon setting a house, barn and garden, for which he promises to let lie a morgen of land upon the northeast hook of the aforesaid lot ; leaving a suitable road or King's way betwixt his house and the lot of Samuel Waldron." Kiersen built his house, etc., and on March 7, 1700, the town officers gave him a deed. This was the first settlement on the well known Jumel homestead, and we believe the first spot permanently occupied on these heights. Kiersen, by purchasing the lands and patentee. rights of William Haldron, deceased, came to own the lot lying between his two, west of the road, and which lot (No. 17) Henry Haldron, eldest son of William, released to Kiersen, November 7, 1701. A resurvey of that tract, in 1712, united those three in one lot, as No. 18, and it was subsequently called 40 acres. Kiersen sold Haldron's smithshop lot to Samuel Waldron, as it joined southerly on Waldron's meadows, but reserved the erf, on which
562

he drew land in 1712. When those drafts were made, Kiersen enlarged his half morgen or house lot, east of the road, to 8 acres, but from whom he got it is not a matter of positive record. To this, in 1720, he added an adjoining 4 acres, being a remnant left after the Ist Division was laid out. He afterward got the Ver- milye lot, No. 6, 2d Division, which joined his homestead on the north, and which gave him 20 acres east of the road. For his drafts in 1712, etc., see note, page 298, and Appendix J.
Kiersen joined the church in 1682, and later served as dea- con. He was also town collector and constable, and was a party, in 1738, to the Mill Camp grant. When he died does not appear. His 90 acres (upland) stand in the tax lists in the name of "Jan Kiersen," down to 1753, but we might conclude that John senior was not living at so late a date, and that his son, John, born 1690, had succeeded him. Yet, if we mistake not, we find the peculiar signature of John senior to a town document of March 28, 1749. If his, he lived to a great age. His children were Jannetje, bap- tized March 13, 1687, died unmarried; Grietje, baptized Novem- ber 25, 1688; John, Abraham, baptized October 6. 1695, and Jan- netie, baptized May 25, 1693, who married Jacob Dyckman, of Kingsbridge, May 16, 1716, had seven children. John and Abra- ham, on April 23, 1756, join in selling part of their salt meadow. at Kingsbridge, which the elder John bought of Johannes Wal- dron, January 16, 1703.
The names of the two sons appear upon the roll of Captain Stuyvesant's company in 1738; but devoted to husbandry, their quiet. unobtrusive lives seldom bring them into notice. John, especially, is rarely named otherwise than herein stated, nor is there any intimation that he left descendants. His brother, Abra- ham, born 1695, was constable in 1728, and probably had no family. He acts alone with the freeholders in signing deeds, etc .. in 1747 and 1753, neither his father nor brother being named. It would seem that his sister, with her husband and children, had either purchased, or been empowered to sell (perhaps by the will of Jolin senior), the Kiersen property in Harlem, because these join in a deed, January 29, 1763, conveying said lands to James Carroll, of New York, for £1,000. Abraham Kiersen is named therein as a grantor, but does not subscribe. A clause in Jacob Dyckman's will of August 10, 1767, devising a share of his prop- erty to John and Abraham Kere, and directing that they "be supported as I have done," shows a state of dependency in their old age, whatever else it may imply. With their descendants, the name disappears here, though probably perpetuated in the West- chester branch. From Carroll the Kiersen property passed to Colonel Roger Morris, whose stately mansion, better known as the Jumel house, still remains, being owned and occupied by Mr. Nelson Chase (1881.)

KORTRIGHT FAMILY.
KORTRIGHT.
Cornelis Jansen, with whom the preceding pages have made us acquainted, will be further named only as introductory to a notice of his descendants, who composed the principal part of the late Kortright family of Harlem. Born in 1645, at Beest, in Gelderland, he came out with his father, Jan Bastiaensen, in 1663 (see pages 67, 95, 204, and note, page 258), and on November 8, 1665, married Metje, daughter of Bastiaen Elyessen, and widow of Claes Teunisz van Appeldorn ; a lady who, after Jansen's early death, in 1689, proved her ability both to manage his business and enhance his estate, the use of which, under his will, dated Febru- ary 25, of said year (but not proved till March 18, 1706), she was to enjoy till her death or remarriage. Having been a trooper, he gave his eldest son, Johannes, "the best horse, and the best saddle, and the best boots, and the best pistols, and holsters, and carbine and cutlass." He also left him, over and above his share of the estate, "the lot of land at Jochem Pieters, to wit, the lot by the great gate." This was No. 3 of the old lots (afterward Sickels'), and the gate must have stood at the upper corner of the Church Farm, where the road going north to Myer's narrowed from 412 to 3 rods, as finally fixed by a vote of the town in 1744.
The widow, from her husband, is usually called Metje Cor- nelis. once Metje Jansen, and sometimes, from her father, Metje Bastiaens. As the lists show, she drew largely of the common lands in the several divisions; but survived those of 1712 only a short time. Under that of 1691 she obtained an annex to the farm on Montanve's Flat: in the deed dated March 21, 1701, · "bounded by a line leading from the southwest corner of the kitchen as the fence runs, to a small brook, and along the brook till it meets with the patent line of Harlem, thence along said line northerly till it meets with the old lots of Cornelis Kortright, deceased." In 1715 her family held 246 acres, of which Laurens Cornelissen held exclusively 77: and he and the other heirs jointly 169, which, from 1715 to 1726, stood in the name of "Metje Cornelis' heirs." Laurens' 77 acres included 30 acres sold by him the same year, and since in the Race Course Farm ( see Benson family ), with No. 1, 2d Division, and half of No 17, 3d Division, both of which finally passed to the Nutters. In the 169 acres was the farm on Montanye's Flat (since Nutter's) .. rated as 36 acres, the adjoining Tourneur farm (later of Peter Bussing). 36 acres ; No. 10, Jochem Pieters' Flat; No. 16, Van Keulen's Hook; No. 6, New Lots: No. 10 of 1691 : No. 5, Ist Division, and half of No. 17, 3d Division. Widow Tiebout and her son, John Lewis. in 1715. held each 131/2 acres in the four Divisions : the widow's lots reverting the same year to John Van Oblienis. in whose name they had been drawn.

HISTORY OF HARLEM.
Cornelius Jansen left six children, at first called Cornelissen, 'viz. :
2. Aefie, baptized May 30, 1666, married first, Jonas Lewis, Feb- ruary 5, 1688, and second, Marcus Tiebout, May 29, 1698, but died in 1714 without issue.

Served as constable in 1708-9, and succeeded to the homestead on Harlem lane, which, at his death (1726) fell in the division to his widow.
7. Annetie, who married Adrian Quackenbos,* August 22, 1701, had two children. He of Albany, N. Y.
Johannes Cornelissen (4), (son of Cornelius Jansen). was appointed constable in 1702, and died in 1711. He had issue: 8. Metje, baptized February 27, 1702; married John Bussing, September 2, 1723, had one child. (See Bussing.)
9. Nicholas, who married first, Elizabeth, daughter of Eide Van Huyse, of Bloomingdale. February 5. 1731, had one child, and second, Elizabeth Peltrong (Conteyn), April 15, 1739, had two children, and died November 19, 1751.
IO. Jannetie, who married Johannes Van Wyck, September 2, 1723, had one child.
Laurens Cornelissen Kortright (6), from whom sprang the main branch of the family at Harlem, was born here August 20. 1681. On December 9, 1704. his mother leased him for four years the farm "lying on the flats about New Harlem," and also "the lot on the Maize Land," or Jochem Pieters' Hills. Laurens served as constable in 1708-9. He succeeded to the homestead on Harlem Lane (since Nutter's), which at his death, in 1726, fell
* John Lewis was born at Harlem, married, May 22, 1713, Hester, daughter of Jan Delamater, and the next fall was chosen constable. He succeeded to the allot- ment drawn in 1712 by Marcus Tiebaut, his step-father, from the common lands; but not to the half-erf and three morgen on which it was drawn. His house lot was on the north side of the Church Lane, and has since formed the easterly lot of the Brady plot. (See notes, pages - -. ) In 1740 Lewis sold his lot in Ist Division to Adolph Myer, and in 1748 the rest of his property in Harlem to Dr. Josiah Pater- son. It included two house lots (erven) besides that he occupied, one of which he bought of Simon Johnson, in 1747, out of Pipon's estate. One of Lewis' daughters, Tanneke, married Abraham Montanye, and another, Ruth, married John Ewou:s.

in the division to his widow, Grietie, together with the upper Tourneur lot, and Nos. 19, 20 (the last got in 1720), on Van Keulen's Hook, No. 1, 2d Division; half of 17, 3d Division, and 31/2 acres of No. 6, 3d Division, bought 1726 from John Lewis. In 1740 she bought from Nicholas Kortright the Sickels lot on Montanye's Flat, and in 1747, from Simon Johnson, the parcels below Montanye's Flat, and being part of No. 8, Ist Division, and mostly within the late Valentine Nutter farm. These lands (except Nos. 19, 20, Van Keulen's Hook, sold, 1730, to Derick Benson) descended to her surviving sons Aaron and Lawrence Kortright. Lawrence took the homestead and No 1, 2d Division ; the upper Tourneur lot was sold to Peter Bussing, and the ad- joining Sickels lot, February 9, 1755, to Benjamin Benson, the deed also covering the next lot, which Benson had inherited from his father, bounded by Vandewater's gore in the rear.

The middle lot of the Tourneur farm (on which were the buildings), and 2 acres of the south lot. making 14 acres, were set off for the use of his mother. Wyntie Sickels. In 1729 he bought his stepfather's, Sickels, lands, No. 5, Jochem Pieters' Flat, 2 q. 23 r. of 16, Ist Division; No. 12, 2d Division, and a lot on Montanye's Flat, in all 42 a. 3 q. 19 r.

Aaron (13) had purchased, March 15, 1742, the Delamater farm on Montanye's Flat, and accompanying lands. The latter embraced all Isaac Delamater's draft lots of 1712, and Aeltie Ver- milye's, of 1691 and 1712, except No. 20, 1st Division (see Ap- pendix J). We believe two acres of No. 5, Van Keulen's Hook, were also included. Of these Aaron sold No. 10, Ist Division, to Adolph Myer, in 1751 : part of the large Molenaor tract. He sold No. 5, of 1691, to Jonathan Odell, May 11, 1753, since of Jacob Schieffelin; and No. 6, 2d Division, to John Kiersen. He recovered, by purchase from Peter Waldron, the lower half of the Delamater farm, which together now embraced 12 acres east of the Lane, on which were the buildings, and west of the Lane, 40 acres on the Flat, and 19 1-3 acres (in it part of No. 8, Ist Division) on the heights. In 1762 and 1765 Aaron gave liens on some of the lands bought of Delamater to his nephew Law- rence Kortright, of New York, merchant, and finally the two made an exchange, April 28, 1772, Lawrence taking the farm and some woodlands, and giving Aaron and his wife a deed for 241 acres of the Wawayanda patent, in Orange County,-to go after their death to their sons, Lawrence, John, and Aaron Kort- right,-whither they removed, and where their descendants are still found ..

36. Susannah, who married -? Spinksted, had three children.
Lawrence Kortright (14), last of the name to hold the home- stead, died in 1761, unmarried. He had devised all his estate to one Sarah Gilmore, wife of William Nutter, and afterward, on April 5, 1760, gave her a deed for the farm (which is described, from the old groundbriefs, as in four contiguous parcels) and two woodland lots. But by another will, of November 8 ensuing, he revokes, to quote his words, "a pretended last will and testa- ment said to have been made by me in favor of Sarah Nutter, which last will and testament (if any such there be), and also certain deeds of lease and release for my real estate (if any such there be), pretended to have been made and executed by me to her, I do hereby, on the faith of a christian, declare to have been obtained from me by fraud and circumvention, and without any valuable consideration received by me for the same." By this second will he divides his property among his kindred. The Kortright heirs refusing to give up the premises, Valentine Nut- ter, only child and heir of Sarah, brought an ejectment suit in 1771; but after "divers differences, controversies, and disputes about the said lands," a compromise was made, Aaron Kortright (13) and his co-heirs, for a consideration, releasing their claims, by deeds dated September 12, 1789, and February 28, 1799. Upon getting possession, Mr. Nutter erected a new dwelling-house and outbuildings (see page 390) ; living here till 90 years of age (1831), when he went to pass his remaining days with his grand- son, Gouverneur M. Wilkins, Esq., at Westchester, where he died in 1836, aged 95 years.

He was one of the founders of the Chamber of Commerce, in 1768. He had a large interest in Tryon County lands, and on his pur- chase the township of Kortright was settled. He had identified himself with the Episcopal Church. and during the Revolution remained quiet at his residence, 192 Queen Street ; but his sym- pathies were with his country. In 1778, partly on his surety, Judge Fell, then a prisoner in the provost, obtained his release. Before his death he conveyed his farm at Harlem, with some
