(III) ABRAHAM BOELEN, son of Hendrick (Henry) and Anneken ( Kourt- Berents) Boelen, was baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church, New York, April 18, 1690, the sponsors being Jacob Boelenszen and Tryntje Boelen. He was buried, according to the records of the same church, October 14, 1741. An abstract of his will follows :
In the name of God, Amen, I, Abraham Boelen, of New York, shopkeeper, being well in health, I leave to my wife one-third of all my estate, and to my daughters Elizabeth and Anna each one-third when of age. I leave to my cousin, Hendricus Boelen, six shillings. I make my wife Elizabeth, and my father-in-law, Abraham Kettletas, and my brother-in-law, Mat- thew Clarkson, executors. Dated April 3, 1735, proved July 15, 1742. Witnesses, Abraham Vanderheul, John Vanderheul, Nicholas Vanderheul.
Abraham Boelen seems to have been twice married, the first marriage being at Reformed Dutch Church, New York, November 13, 1714, to Catharine Van de Water; no record of her death, or of any children of this marriage being found on the records of the aforesaid church. It is, however, supposed that she died soon, leaving no issue, and that the following was Abraham Boelen's second mar- riage. Abraham Boelen married, about 1725, Mrs. Elizabeth (De Peyster) Beek- man. (De Peyster III.) Children, baptized in Reformed Dutch Church, New York City :
I. Anna, born September 18, baptized September 21, 1726, died young.

(I) JOSSE DE PEYSTER was born in Ghent, Flanders, about 1490. There is little doubt that he was closely related to Jean de Peyster, who at that period was provost of the guild of goldsmiths. Children :
1. Josse, of whom further.
2. Jean, died before 1584; became the city goldsmith of Ghent; was a Huguenot and fled.

(II) JOSSE DE PEYSTER, JR., son of Josse de Peyster, was born about 1515. He lived in Ghent, in Champ Street. In 1574, he purchased land to enlarge the grounds about his house. He was a Huguenot, and in 1584 was living abroad with his wife and children, but returned, paying a fine to the authorities. He married (first)

(III) JOSSE DE PEYSTER, 3D, son of Josse de Peyster, was born about 1550, and died in 1607. He served as lieutenant of the burgher guard; fled from Ghent on account of his religious principles, and upon his return in 1584 was assessed sixty-five livres. He married, about 1580, Jeanne Van de Voorde. Children, all probably born in Ghent :
I. Josse, died about 1630; married Francoise Gay; as early as 1600 was a goldsmith at Middlesburg on the island of Zealand.

(IV) JEAN (JOHANNES) DE PEYSTER, son of Josse de Peyster, was born in Ghent, in 1586, and died in Haarlem, in 1648. He studied law at Leyden; resided in Amsterdam and Haarlem. A Ghent document of March 17, 1621, mentions him as a Haarlem burgher, assisting his brother, Josse, who sold all the family proper- . ties. It is supposed that the religious persecutions which they and their relatives had suffered induced them to thus sever their connection with Flanders. He mar- ried Josine Martins. Children :

(I) JOHANNES DE PEYSTER, son of Jean (Johannes ) and Josine ( Martins ) de Peyster, was born in Holland about 1620, and died, doubtless in New Amsterdam, about 1685. He seems to have first visited New Amsterdam in or about 1645, a few years later returning and settling permanently. He engaged in commerce besides taking a prominent part in the life of the city. He was one of the six who drew up the first charter of the city during the Dutch régime, and in 1655, 1656, 1658, and 1662, was commissioned a schepen. Under English rule he was elected alderman several times and in 1677 was deputy mayor. He was a deacon of the Reformed Church and a member of one of the Burgher Corps. He married, Decem- ber 17, 1651, Cornelia Lubberts. Children, baptized in Reformed Dutch Church, New York City :
1. Johannes, baptized August 3, 1653, probably died young.

(The Hooglandt Line).
Hoogland is a village near Amersfoort in the Province of Utrecht, Holland. In the same province is the village of Maerseveen. From these villages the ances- tors of the Hoogland families of America evidently emigrated, the pioneers being Cornelis Dircksen Hoogland and Dirck Janse Hooglant. The latter was of Maerseveen, and came to America at an early period.
(Teunis G. Bergen: "The Bergen Family," pp. 404, 405. "New England Historical and Genealogical Register," Vol. XLVII, p. 59.)
(I) CORNELIS DIRCKSEN HOOGLAND, the ancestor of the family here traced, at an early date kept the ferry from New Amsterdam to Brooklyn. December 12, 1645, he received a patent for a plantation on Long Island near the ferry. He appears to have gone to the fatherland on a visit, and returned again to this country, arriving in April, 1662, in the ship "Hope," with his wife, son aged twenty-four, and daughter aged two years. In 1638, he kept goats for their milk; in 1643 he sold cows to Tunis Nyssen. He was ferry-master in Brooklyn in 1652, when he sold house, barn, and land to Cornelis de Potter. In 1653, while a ferryman, he bought of Daniel Whytheade a house and lot at the ferry. He signed his name "Cornelis Dierckse." He married Aeltje (Ariens) Vogel, widow of Jacob Dirck- sen Vogel. They had a son :
I. Dierck Cornelise, of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(II) DIERCK CORNELISE HOOGLANDT, son of Cornelis Dircksen and Aeltje (Ariens-Vogel) Hoogland, was born, probably in New Amsterdam, about 1638, and died probably on Staten Island, between April 21, 1701, and March 15, 1704- 1705. He resided on Staten Island, whence his widow seems to have removed to New Amsterdam a few years after his death. The following is a verbatim copy of Dierck Hoogland's will :

He lived in New York City, where he was a merchant. He "was one of the patentees of Kayaderosseras Patent in what is now Saratoga County, New York. This was an immense tract of about 700,000 acres, the original title to which was obtained by misrepresentation. Nearly sixty years after, the heirs of the original proprietors were constrained to relinquish a part of their claim to the Mohawk Indians and to pay an indemnity in order to secure a clear title to the remainder. The two patentee rights of Adrian and Joris Hooglandt were divided between the three families of Bancker, Renaudet, and Rutgers."

(The Rapalje Line).
The European ancestry of Joris Janssen Rapalje, founder of the family in America, is not definitely known. In accordance with the Dutch system of naming children, the name of the father of Joris Janssen Rapalje was John (or Jean) Rapalje. Another indication of his European ancestry is found in the "Journal of a Voyage to New York, in 1678-80," by Jaspar Dankers and Peter Sluyter. They describe a visit to the Wale bocht where Rapalje had resided and which was still occupied by his widow, whom they mention as the aunt of de la Grange.
("Long Island Historical Society, Memoirs," Vol. I, pp. 341-42.)
(I) JORIS JANSSEN RAPALJE came to the New Netherlands from Holland in 1623 ("American Families of Historic Lineage" says about 1632) on the ship "Unity," which was the first vessel to bring agricultural colonists to the Hudson Valley. For three years from 1623 to 1626 he resided at Fort Orange, now Albany, but at the end of that time removed to New Amsterdam, which was becom- ing a center for persecuted Huguenots and Walloons. He located on what is now Pearl Street and was residing there when his deed to the property was confirmed March 13, 1647. He had already purchased from the Indians, on June 16, 1637, a farm containing one hundred sixty morgens or three hundred and thirty-five acres. The Indians called it Rennagaconck, while the Dutch called it Wale bocht. It was located where the present United States Marine Hospital in Brooklyn now stands and also included the land between Nostrand and Grand avenues. He may have resided there for a time and been obliged to return to the city on account of Indian troubles. In 1641, Joris Rapalje was elected member of a board of twelve men to consult with Governor Kieft on account of the dangerous situation then confronting the colony on account of unrest among the Redmen. This was the beginning of representative government on the Dutch portions of America and the board availed themselves of the opportunity to strengthen such institutions by an attempt to limit the arbitrary power of the governor, for which they wished to sub- stitute a more democratic system. According to their plan four of their number should become members of the Permanent Council. The representative body was, however, abolished the following year. June 22, 1654, Joris Rapalje sold his prop- erty on Pearl Street to Hendrick Hendrickson and removed to his farm at Wale bocht, where he lived the rest of his life. In 1655, 1656, 1657, 1660 and 1662, he was a magistrate of Brooklyn. About the time of the close of the Dutch adminis. tration he died, as his name disappears from the records of the time.
Joris Janssen Rapalje married Catalyntje Trico, who was born in 1605 and died September II, 1689. She was a daughter of Joris Trico, of Paris, France. After the death of her husband she continued to reside at Wale bocht, when Jasper Dankers and Peter Sluyter, the Labodists, visited her and described her in their journal :
M. de la Grange came with wife to invite me to accompany them in their boat to the Wale bocht, a place situated on Long Island almost an hour's distance below the city, directly oppo- site Correlaerr hoeck from whence, I had several times observed the place which appeared to me quite pleasant-she is worldly minded, living with her whole heart, as well as body, among her progeny which now number 145 and will soon reach 150. Nevertheless, she lived alone by herself a little apart from the others, having her little garden and other conveniences with which she helped herself.
