(The Coles Line).


Coles is a baptismal form of the son of Nichols from the nickname Cole. Coles is the patronymic or genitive form. The name was in Yorkshire in 1379. One assertion is that Cole is from Coel, one of the Kings of Britain. More likely the name Cole is a contraction of agricola. (Latin for farmer.) Cola appears in Domesday Survey as a holder of much land in Counties Hants, Devon, and Wilts. William Cole was in County Cornwall 1201, whose son was Roger. One Cole was among William the Conqueror's barons. He was settled on the borders of Corn-

wall and Devon, and accompanied Martin de Tours on his marauding expedition into Cemaes, South Wales. From him it is said came those of the name Cole.


(C. Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames." "New England Historical and Genealogical Register of the Family of Cole, of County Devon," pp. I-2.)


(I) ROBERT COLES was born at Sudbury, County Suffolk, England, about 1597-98, and died in Rhode Island, before October, 1654. He came from a good English family of Sudbury, County Suffolk, England, to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1630. In 1632 he is recorded in Roxbury, Massachusetts. That same year he went to Plymouth and in 1638 to Providence, Rhode Island, where he was one of the founders of the First Church in 1639. His children went with their mother and stepfather to live in Oyster Bay, Long Island. Robert Coles applied to be freeman October 19, 1630, and was admitted May 18, 1631. In 1632, he was one of two delegates sent from Roxbury, Massachusetts, to advise the Governor and assistants in regard to raising of revenue. He went in March, 1633, with a party under John Winthrop, Jr., to settle Ipswich, Massachusetts. In 1634, he was at Providence, Rhode Island, where he was one of the original twelve members of the Frst Baptist Church, October, 1638. He and thirty-eight others signed an agreement for a form of government July 27, 1647. June 5, 1648, he was in War- wick, and in 1654 had a house and lands there. In 1642, the General Court appointed him magistrate, and yet his name came up for careless treatment of Indian rights in 1652. His property in Warwick, Rhode Island, was allotted to his children by the town council October 18, 1654, which again ordered, June II, 1656, that certain portions of the estate be given for security to Nathaniel, Robert, and Sarah Coles and to Daniel the sum of £ 50.


Robert Coles married, about 1630, Mary Hawkshurst, born in England, died in 1656, daughter of Samson Hawkshurst, of Warwick, England. She married (sec- ond) Mathias Harvey and removed to Oyster Bay, Long Island. Children, born probably in Rhode Island :

2. John, died in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in 1676; married Ann.


3. Nathaniel, born in 1640, died about 1712; married, August 30, 1667, Martha Jackson. She died September 17, 1668. He married (second) Deborah Wright. (Wright IV- third child.)


4. Daniel, born near Pawtuxet, Rhode Island, in 1642, died at Mosquito Cove, Long Island, November 9 or 29, 1692; married Mahashalalhasbaz Gorton, daughter of Samuel (called Maher) and Mary (Maplets) Gorton.

(The Bancker Line).


Bancker is a corruption of Banker. It is an official name, and was given to the person who was a banker, or who had some connection with matters of the exchequer.


(Bardsley : "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames.")


(I) GERRIT BANCKER, immigrant ancestor of a large and important family of Banckers, or Bankers, was born in Holland, probably about 1620, and died, prob- ably at Albany, New York, between November 25, 1690, and May 7, 1691. In his will, dated November 25, 1690, proved May 7, 1691, he bequeathed all his property to his wife, "Whether situated in Albany, in Schenectady, in New York, in Eng- land, in Holland, or at Sea." He seems to have arrived in this country before 1655, and two years later was living at Beverwyck (now Albany), where he became an Indian trader and merchant, and lived there the rest of his life, his home being on the south side of what is now State Street, a little east of Pearl Street. He was a very prosperous merchant and accumulated a considerable estate, both real and personal. He was one of the fifteen original proprietors of Schenectady in 1662, owning rich farm lands there as well as a village lot. That he was an active and enterprising man is evident from the fact that his name appears in many con- veyances and other business transactions from 1657 to 1684. His wife appears to have made a visit to Holland in 1668, and to have conducted some business affairs for her mother and second stepfather, Cornelius Van Nes.


Gerrit Bancker married Elizabeth, or Lysbet, Dirckse Van Eps. (Van Eps II.) Children :


I. William, born February 23, 1661, probably lived in Holland; married, before 1693, Isabelle Winterswijk.


2. Evert, of whom further.


3. Richard, born December 23, 1666, lived in New York City as late as 1692.


4. Anna, born April 1, 1670; married, October 10, 1688, Johannes (2) De Peyster. (De Peyster II.)


5. Maria, born April 1, 1675, died in 1710-II; married, September 20, 1694, Cornelius De Peyster.


6. Gerardus, born August 1, 1677, died in 1702.


7. John, lived in New York City as late as 1717.


8. (Perhaps) Sibilla.


(Howard James Bancker : "A Partial History and Genealogical Record of the Bancker or Banker Families of America," pp. 239-43, 297.)


(II) EVERT BANCKER, son of Gerrit and Elizabeth (Lysbet) Dirckse (Van Eps) Bancker, was born at Albany, New York, January 24, 1665, as given by his son, Adrian, or February 24, 1663, as stated in a Bancker genealogy, published in 1838, and was buried there July 10, 1734. He resided at Albany nearly all of his life, but ended his days on his farm at Guilderland, New York. Like his father he was a merchant, Indian trader, and man of affairs. As early as 1685 he held a pass for himself and a comrade with a request that they be allowed to pass and repass to Canada. In 1692, he furnished supplies for the Fusileers, in King William's War, and was justice of the peace. Three years later, 1695, he became the third mayor of Albany, and again in 1707. In 1697, in company with others, he received an C. & R. 1-14

extraordinary grant, afterwards annulled, of land along the Schenectady River, four miles wide and fifty miles long. He was deacon in 1693 and 1700, in the Dutch Reformed Church; was a Commissioner of Indian Affairs in 1696, 1706, 1720-34; represented his locality in the Colonial Assembly, 1702-04; was a mas- ter of the Colonial Court of Chancey in 1705; was chosen alderman in 1707, but immediately afterwards was again appointed mayor of Albany. During Queen Anne's War, 17II, he was one of the managers of the expedition against Canada. In 1723, or 1726, he was resident commissioner among the Seneca Indians, and in 1724, or 1727, was commandant of the fort at Oswego, with the commission of captain.

(III) CHRISTOFFEL (or CHRISTOPHER) BANCKER, son of Evert and Elizabeth (Abeel) Bancker, was born in Albany, New York, October 27, 1695, and died probably in New York City, about 1763. When a young man he removed to New York City, where he was a merchant and a man of considerable prominence. He was elected alderman from the North Ward in 1737, and held the office until 1742, and was again elected in 1755. In 1739 he, with Hendrick Rutgers and others, owned the privateer "Stephen and Elizabeth." In 1755 and 1756, he was one of the commissioners of fortifications in New York. In his will, dated February 22, 1752, proved May 26, 1763, he mentioned his son, Evert, as eldest, and four others, Adrian, Richard, Christopher, and William.

(IV) ADRIAAN BANCKER, son of Christoffel (or Christopher) and Elisabeth (Hooglandt ) Bancker, was born in New York, July 25, 1724, and baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church there, July 29, 1724. He removed to Staten Island, New York, where he became prominent in public affairs and took an active part in the events of the Revolution. He was supervisor for the town of Westfield, 1772-73; deputy from Richmond County to the Second Provincial Congress, November 14, 1775, to May 13, 1776; elected Member of Assembly in 1784; and was surrogate of Richmond County from 1787 until his death, when his son, Abraham, succeeded him in that office. He seems to have owned a place in Wall Street, New York, as late as 1776. In that year five hundred and sixty-nine pounds of sash leads were taken from this house by order of the Convention, for public use, chiefly to make bullets. In 1789, he sold a large part of his interest in the Kayadarosseras Patent. Further interests in this patent went to his heirs, and a portion was sold by his executor. In his will, dated August 7, 1792, he mentioned only his sons, Christopher, Abraham, and Adrian, and his daughter, Anna Elizabeth; hence it is probable that his other children died before that date.

(The Boelen Line).


The Boelen family of New York descends from Boelen Roelofs, or Roelofzen, undoubtedly the "Boele Roelofsen, joncker," who with his wife and four children besides his wife's sister and a boy, came to New Netherland on the ship "Faith" in February, 1659. The list of names of passengers of that voyage also includes Matthys Roelofs, from Denmark. On the ship "Jan Baptist," May 9, 1661, were Jacob Roelofsen, and Jan Roelofsen.

Know all men by these presents, that I, Henry Boelen, of New York, smith, being sick and weak, I leave to my wife Antie Berents, the use of all my estate during her life, and she shall give to her son Alexander, when of age, such portion as she can conveniently spare, and after her decease he is to be sole heir, and if he should die the estate to go to Boelen Roeloffs, my father. If my wife should remarry she shall secure to my son Abraham Boelen £ 125, and he is to be instructed to read and write, and afterwards to learn a trade by which he shall live in the future. He is also to have my great Dutch Bible as a particular gift and legacy.


Hendrick Boelen married, probably about 1685, a widow called in the baptismal records of their children, Anneken Kourt, or Courten; and in his will as Antie Berents. She married (second), December 20, 1692, Abraham Kettletas. Chil- dren, baptized in Reformed Dutch Church, New York:


1. Anna, baptized November 28, 1686, doubtless died young.


2. Abraham, baptized August 1, 1688, doubtless died young.


3. Abraham, of whom further.
