The Cornelius Quicks of Amwell Twsp., Hunterdon Co., NJ

The Cornelius Quicks of Amwell Twsp., Hunterdon Co., NJ

There were several marriages of men named Cornelius Quick in and around Amwell in the period from 1770 to 1790.  There has been some uncertainty about them and their families.  This article will offer some additional information about them.

Cornelius Quick and Mary Williamson, 13 Oct 1770[1]

Cornelius Quick and Anne Covenhoven 11 Dec 1771[2]

Cornelius Quick and Elizabeth Quimby 2 Jul 1772[3]

Cornelius Quick and Eleanor Schenck 26 Jun 1779[4]

Cornelius Quick and Anne Johnson 4 Feb 1789[5]

Cornelius⁵ Quick (Peter⁴, Cornelius³, Jacob², Teunis¹) and Eleanor Schenck are said to have had two sons, Jacob and Garret.[6]  However, those were not their sons.  The will of Garret Schenck of Amwell Twsp, Hunterdon Co., NJ, dated 9 Jun 1794, mentions his grandsons, Peter and Ralph, sons of his daughter Lanah and his son-in-law, Cornelius Quick.[7]  On 3 Aug 1797, Ralph and Peter Quick of Hunterdon Co., sons of Cornelius Quick, dec’d, made the choice of Jacob Schenck as their guardian.[8]  Jacob was undoubtedly their maternal uncle.

Who then were the parents of Garret and Jacob Quick?  First, they probably had a sister, Mary Quick, named after her maternal grandmother, who married Judiah Higgins by license dated 13 May 1809 in Hunterdon Co., NJ.[9]  Mary was 68 in the 1850 census of Raritan, Hunterdon Co., NJ,[10] so born about 1782.  She had a son named Cornelius Quick Higgins.[11]  Her presumed brother, Jacob, had a son named Jediah Higgins Quick.  In the 1850 census Jediah was living in Trenton, East Ward, Mercer Co., NJ.[12]  Jacob J. Quick was born about 1790 and was living in Kingwood, Hunterdon Co., NJ according to the 1850 census.[13]  Garret was estimated to have been born about 1782.

I believe Mary, Garret and Cornelius (mentioned in the will of his grandfather[14]) are children of Cornelius⁶ Quick (Cornelius⁵, Teunis⁴, Cornelius³, Jacob², Teunis¹) and Anne Covenhoven, while Jacob is the son of Cornelius and his presumed 2^nd wife, Anne Johnson.

Anne Covenhoven was the daughter of John Couwenhoven and Mary Sprong,[15] though Mary is frequently misidentified as Mary Cozine.  Anne's daughter, Mary, was named after her maternal grandmother, while her son, Garret, was named after his maternal uncle.  Her other son, Cornelius, was named after his paternal grandfather.

Ann Johnson was the daughter of Jacobus Johnson and supposedly Sarah Quick.[16]  Jacobus was the son of Cornelius Johnson and Sarah Mambret, mentioned in his father’s will written in Kingwood, Hunterdon, NJ on 5 Mar 1770, named as one of the executors.  In May 1786 Cornelius Johnson is mentioned as the surviving executor, Jacobus having died in the interim.[17]  Jacobus’ will, written on 2 Jan 1778 in Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ, mentions his wife, but does not name her, his two sons, Jacob James and Peter, and his daughters, Alice, Sarah and Anna.  The will was proved on 24 Oct 1778.[18]  Cornelius and Ann Johnson’s son, Jacob J (James?), was named after his maternal uncle.  From later probate records it appears that Jacobus’ wife at his death was named Elizabeth.  On 14 Aug 1790 Peter Johnson was appointed the administrator of the estate of Elizabeth Johnson of Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ[19] and Cornelius Quick was the fellowbondsman.  Both were of Amwell.  It is unknown if Elizabeth was the mother of any of Jacobus’ children.  Peter Johnson died before 13 May 1801 when Peter Fisher [Peter’s brother-in-law] and Jacob James Johnson, all of Hunterdon Co., NJ were declared the fellowbondsmen for his estate.  Cornelius Quick was of Oxford, Sussex Co., NJ when he died before 24 Nov 1795 when Jacob James Johnson of Hunterdon Co. was given administration of his estate.[20]  An inventory of his estate was taken in Hunterdon Co. by Peter Prisler [Peter Fisher?, his brother-in-law] and Jacob Schenck.  His widow, Ann, married Jesse Pettit before 27 May 1805 when she and her remaining siblings sold land of their brother, Peter, who had died without heirs (see Hunterdon, NJ Deeds, Vol 11, pg. 299).

Mary Williamson, wife of Cornelius⁵ Quick (Teunis⁴, Cornelius³, Jacob², Teunis¹), was probably the widow of John Williamson who died in Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ before 26 Aug 1769.[21]  Her son, Jacob, moved to Amwell by 1778 and may have been living with Cornelius and Mary in 1780.[22]  She would not have been the mother of any of Cornelius Quick’s children.  Cornelius’ first wife is unknown.

Elizabeth Quimby, wife of Cornelius⁵ Quick (Johannes⁴, Cornelius³, Jacob², Teunis¹), was probably the widow of Ephraim Quimby who died before 25 Sep 1767 in Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ when his will was proved.[23]  Cornelius probably did not marry Ephraim and Elizabeth’s daughter, Elizabeth.

I leave to my wife Mary the use of all my estate during widowhood, but not to dispose of any goods or lands without the permission of the executors. I leave to my son Garrett £5 out of the £100 that shall become due to me from Cornelius Cosine, and £20 out of my estate. Also my silver Beaker and best horse. I leave to my son Jan £15.

Corrections:

I believe by "my brother, Cornelius Cozyn" he means his half-brother. Gabriel Duryea was the son of Simon Duryea and Annetje Sprong, sister of his presumed second wife, Mary Sprong.

The Family of Samuel Nicholson

The Family of Samuel Nicholson

There were two Nicholson families living in Turtle Creek, Warren Co., OH in the early 1800s.  One is the family of Thomas Nicholson whose family is listed in the 1820 census of Turtle Creek, Warren Co., OH.  The other is the family of William Nicholson who died in 1814.  I have pieced William's family together from a number of records, including Samuel’s marriage record.  It is unknown if the two families were related.

Thomas Nicholson was born before 1776[1] possibly in England[2], and married Mercy Curtis[3], who was born between 1776 and 1780,[4] possibly in New Jersey or Virginia[5].  Their children were[6]:

1) Mary, supposedly born about 1794 in PA,[7] but more likely about 1801 as her father consented to her marriage to Daniel Clark[8] on 14 Mar 1818, suggesting she was underage.

2) William, born about 1796.  He married, probably 2^nd, Eliza Ann Furguson on 13 Jul 1832.[9]  

4) Robert, born about 1805 in OH,[10] m Hannah Jane Johnson[11] on 05 Feb 1839.

5) Jane, born about 1807 in OH,[12] m Obediah McCabe[13] on 09 Aug 1830.

6) Ann, born 5 Nov 1809[14] in OH,[15]  m David Holloway[16] on 07 Dec 1835.

7) Thomas, born about 1812.[17]

A Joseph Nicholson was born about 1819, being 21 when he married Linney Kiphart[18] on 26 Dec 1840.  Given his late birth he is probably a son of William Nicholson.

William, son of Thomas, was a witness to the signature of Thomas Nicholson who gave permission for his daughter, Mary, to marry Daniel Clark in 1818.  William would have been at least 16 to be a witness, but was also likely Thomas’ oldest son.  I have not been able to locate William, son of Thomas, in any census, and have not been able to confirm any of my assumptions about him.  He died after 1834.[19]

Census records show some of William’s children may have been living with Thomas, the only Nicholson family in the Warren, OH 1820 Census:

1820 Census Turtle Creek, Warren, OH

Thos Nicholson 1 2 0 1 0 1 / 1 2 0 1 0

Possible residents were:

Joseph, born about 1819

Thomas, born about 1810

Robert, born about 1805

William, born about 1794

Thomas born before 1776

Ann born in 1809

Jane born about 1807

Lydia born about 1804

Mercy born after 1775

Mary was married before the census, so in not listed.  I am assuming that William’s wife was deceased by the time of the census.

Martha Nicholson is the only Nicholson listed in the 1830 Census of Warren, OH:

1830 Census Turtle Creek, Warren, OH

Martha Nickelson 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 / 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1

Probable residents were:

Robert

Joseph

Ann

Jane

Martha, presumably Mercy.

She was the Mary/Marcy Nicholson living next to Robert Nicholson in 1840[20] and possibly with David Halloway in 1850.[21] 

William Nicholson, father of Samuel, born about 1774, possibly in NJ,[22] but more likely in North Carolina.[23]  He moved to OH before 1812 when he served in the War of 1812,[24] possibly dying in battle.  His estate was probated in Warren County OH in 1814.[25]  His wife is unknown.

Their children were:

1)      Abraham, born about 1806[26], m Sarah Peacock on 29 Oct 1824.[27]

2)      probably Lydia, born about 1804 in OH,[28] m Wesley White[29] on 10 Oct 1826.

3)      Samuel, March 1813[30] in OH,[31] m Susannah Stansberry/Sansberry/Sunsberry[32]

Abraham moved to Wayne, IN by 1850:

1850 Census Wayne, Hamilton, IN

  Abraham Nicholson, 44, b OH

  Sarah, 45, b NJ

  Lewis, 21, b OH

  Jonathan, 19, b OH

  Almeda, 16, b OH

  Harriet E., 14, b OH

  Joseph, 11, b IN

  Albert, 5, b IN

With a probable son next door

  William Nicholson, 23, b OH

  Mary J, 18, b OH

Samuel moved to Madison, IN by the 1840 census:

1840 Census Madison, IN

Samuel Nicholson  0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 / 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 pg 202 (Samuel age 20-30)

His family is listed in the 1850 Census of District 68, Madison, IN:

   Samuel, age 37, b OH

   Susannah, age 36, b NJ

   Katherine, age 13, b IN

   Mary Ann, age 11, b IN

   Calvin, age 9, b IN

   Recompence, age 7, b IN

   Almeda, age 3, b IN

   Almira, age 3, b IN (Elizabeth in the actual record)

   Elizabeth, age 10/13, b IN

Given the naming of one of their sons as Recompense, Susannah is probably the daughter of  Recompence and Catherine Stansberry of Rahway, Essex Co., NJ.[33]  They moved to Clinton Co., OH[34] (neighboring county to Warren Co., OH) where at least 5 of their children were married in the 1820s.[35]  They had a daughter named Susannah born 27 Dec 1813 in Essex, NJ, the same day as Susanna, wife of Samuel Nicholson.[36]

In the 1880 Census[37], both Lydia and Samuel list both their parents as being born in North Carolina.  Susanna and her parents are all listed as being born in NJ.

The Grandchildren of Teunis Gysbert Bogart

The Grandchildren of Teunis Gysbert Bogart

Teunis Gysbert Bogart, husband of Catherine Hegeman, was of Brooklyn, NY, when he left a will dated 22 Jun 1767, proved 27 Apr 1768 [WNYHS 7:146-7].  It says: "I leave to my grandchildren, the children of my son Teunis, £200," without mentioning who they are.

His son, Teunis, is sometimes said to have 1st married a Voorhees. This probably comes from the will of Coert Voorhees which does mention his brother-in-law Teunis Bogart in his will dated 3 Jan 1746, proved 14 Jul 1750 [WNYHS 4:291].  However, this probably refers to his father, Teunis Gysbert Bogart, who married Catherine Hegeman, sister of Neeltje Hegeman, wife of Coert Voorhees [Van Voorhees Family in America, Vol 1, pg 50]

Teunis married Lea Vandervoort by license dated 17 Oct 1760 [NY Licenses before 1789]

17 Oct 1760 Bogart, Teunis and Leah Van den voort of Dutchess Co., spinster [3:367][NY Marriage bonds] Given her residence of Dutchess Co., she is almost certainly the daughter of John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriesse.  She married 2nd John Vandervoort at the DRC of Hopewell, NY:
January 12 1770 Ian Van DeVoort Lea Van DeVoort wi. (one version of the records specifies of Teunis Bogart).

The following are probably 3 children of Teunis Bogart, son of Teunis Bogart and Catherine Hegeman, and Leah Vandervoort, daughter of John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriessen (see the earlier post on her family).

1) Elizabeth, named after her maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Andriessen:

Husband: Abraham Stoothoff, b 09 JAN 1764
Baptism: 15 JAN 1764 Dutch Reformed Church, Flatlands, Kings County, New York
Death: 29 OCT 1822
Father: Wilhelmus Stoothoff b: 03 MAY 1741
Mother: Heiltje Voorhies b: 27 AUG 1746
Marriage to Elizabeth Bogaert (b ABT 1765, d 1836) on 06 OCT 1783
Children:
a) Hyltje Stoothoff, baptized 25 Nov 1787, DRC Flatlands, died young, witnesses were

      Abraham's parents.
b) Abraham Stoothoff c: 9 May 1790 DRC Flatlands, the witness was Abraham's mother.
c) John Bogert Stoothoff c: 16 Apr 1792, DRC Flatlands, the witness was Cornelia Bogart [widow

      of John Bogart].
d) Hyltje Stoothoff c: 10 Nov 1797, DRC Flatlands, the witness was Abraham's mother.

      (Flatland baptisms: www.olivetreegenealogy.com)
e) poss Lambert Stoothoff, b abt 1803, named after his paternal uncle.

2) John, named after his maternal grandfather, John Vandervoort:

My abstract of John Bogart's will (Kings Co Wills, Liber 1, page 213):
John Bogart of New Lotts, Kings Co., NY. dated 1 Feb 1792. Wife Cornelia, children Tunis and Cornelius. Legacy to children to be held by executors until they reach 21. Executors: Brother-in-law, Abraham Stoothoff and friend Peter G. Wyckoff of Flatlands. Witnesses: William I. Stoothoff [brother of Abraham], Jacob Bloom [husband of Magdalena Vandervoort, sister of John Vandervoort] and John Vandervoort [step-father] of Kings Co. Proved 23 Mar 1792. Liber 1, page 213
[see John Vandervoort for a description of the imprisonment of Jacob Bloom and John Vandervoort in the Revolution. Also, John Vandervoort was a witness for the will of Jacob Blom].

3) Teunis, named after his paternal grandfather, Teunis Bogart:

The abstract of the administrative bond of his estate reads:
Bogert, Teunis, of Pa. - Bd (14 Apr. 1789) John Bogert, of Flatbush, Abraham Stoothoff, yeoman, Jacob Bloom, of Brooklyn, and Peter G. Wyckoff, of Flatlands, all of Kings Co. [My note: John Bogert is the brother of dec'd and Abraham Stoothoff is a brother-in-law of dec'd]
Genealogical Data from New York Administration Bonds, 1753-1799, Vol. X, abstracted by Kenneth Scott, pg 18.

John is said to be the oldest son of Gysbert Bogart and his first wife, Annetje Rapalje, in "The Bogart Family", by John Albert Bogart, page 113, where he is called Jan Cornelius. However, Gysbert's will, cited on page 255, mentions Cornelius, not John, as the oldest son. I have not researched the family enough, but I think the name Jan Cornelius is an invention to explain Gysbert's supposed son John's will. Annetje Rapalje's parents were probably Cornelius Rapalje and Johanna (Janeke) Antonides. Annetje was baptized on 15 Nov 1716 at DRC of NA. If correct, their oldest sons would be expected to be Tunis, after his paternal grandfather (in fact his 2nd son b 1755) and Cornelius, after his maternal grandfather, in fact, his oldest son. Annetje's two oldest daughters were Jannetje and Catherine, after their grandmothers.

Elizabeth is said to be the daughter of Gysbert Bogart and his second wife, Margaret Bos in "The Bogart Family", by John Albert Bogart, page 114. She is named in her father's will, (page 255). Her age is not given, but since she was named after her maternal grandmother, she was probably the oldest daughter Gysbert and Margaret who were married on 19 May 1754 at DRC of Flatbush. My guess is she was born between 1760-1762, slightly older than her presumed husband, Abraham Stoothoff. I don't know what the evidence is for her marriage to Abraham.

Teunis, son of Gysbert Bogart and Margaret Bos, married Martha Remsen and moved to Canada. He did not die in PA in 1789.

From the baptismal record of John Bogart Stoothoff and John Bogart's will, I think it is clear John and Elizabeth were brother and sister. However, I think it is unlikely that John's parents were Gysbert and Annetje Bogart. John's son, Tunis, may have been named after his paternal grandfather, John may have been named after his maternal grandfather and Elizabeth after her maternal grandmother, hence my guess at John and Elizabeth's parents.

From the 1800 Census of Flatlands, Kings New York:
Abraham Stoothoff 4 1 0 1 0 / 1 0 0 1 1

From the 1810 Census of Houndsfield, Kings, NY:
Abraham Stoothoff 1 2 2 0 1 / 2 1 0 1 1

If these are the correct Abraham, it appears he had several other sons besides Abraham and John.  One possibility is Lambert Stoothoff, possibly named after his paternal uncle.  Lambert appears in the 1830 census of Flatlands, age 20-30, again in the 1840 census of Flatlands, age 30 -40 and in the 1870 census of Perth Amboy, Middlesex, NJ, age 67. The 1850 Census of Perth Amboy, Middlesex, NJ:

Lambert Stodoff, age 45, b NY
Jane L, age 43, b NY
Adelia, age 13, b NY. She married Abraham Hartman (b 1830) on 4/1/1855. Had daughter, Jenny b 1856.

In the 1830 census, there was a male born 1825-1830 who is not listed in subsequent census records.  

His wife, Jane Lott, is mentioned in the will of her aunt as Jane Lott Stoothoff, with Lambert signing several receipts related to the probate. [1]  Lambert died in NYC on 08 Aug 1871 [2] and left a will probated in New Jersey.  His name does not appear in the index of death certificates for Manhattan in 1871, nor does his death record exist in Perth Amboy.

The Family of John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriessen

The Family of John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriessen

Their known child and probable children are:

1.      Jane, born about 1741.  She married Simon Duryea by license dated 17 DEC 1758[1].

2.      Lea, born about 1743.  She married 1^st Teunis Bogart by license dated 17 Oct 1760.[2]  She, as widow of Teunis Bogart, married 2^nd John Vandervoort at the DRC of Hopewell, NY [3]

3.      Paul, born about 1747.  He married Mary Banker.  “He was born on the shores of the Wallabout and taught in a Dutch school. Soldier in the Revolutionary War. He had a brother who was killed in the war. Paul served in Col. Jacobus Swarthout's Minute Men of the Dutchess Co. Militia. After the war he drifted north with other members of the family to Rensselaer Co., then Saratoga Co., but then returned to Dutchess Co.”[4].  See his brother, John, below.

4.      Lambert, born about 1749.  He married Elsje Van Enden by license dated 2 NOV 1769.[5]

5.      Elizabeth, baptized on 30 May 1752 at the DRC of Flatbush; sponsors were Andries Andriesse & wife Elisabeth Blom[6].   

6.      John, born about 1754, named after his father.  He died 15 Oct 1777 from wounds inflicted during the Revolutionary war.[7]  The other known John Vandervoorts who fought in the war all survived.

I have pieced this family together on the following assumptions:

1)      Elizabeth Andriessen, wife of John Vandervoort, is the daughter of Lambert Andriessen and Lea Lieverse.  Elizabeth, d/o John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriessen, was baptised 31 MAY 1752 DRC of Flatlands, sponsors: Andries Andriesse & wife Elisabeth Blom[8].  Andries was the son of Lambert Andriessen and Lea Lieverse, baptized 29 MAY 1705 DRC of Brooklyn, NY.[9]  Andries married Elizabeth Bloom on 17 MAY 1746 at the DRC of Flatbush, Kings Co., NY.[10] 

2)      John Vandervoort was the son of Paul Vandervoort and Jannetje Vandwater. Magdalena, daughter of Paul and Jannetje Vandervoort was baptized on 9 Apr 1727 at the DRC of New Utrecht.[11]  The witnesses were Jan Vandervoort and Helen, his wife.  They were the paternal grandparents.  Magdalena was named after her paternal grandmother, Magdalena/Helen Huysman.  The 1731 census of Brooklyn, NY lists Paul Vandervoort, 1 woman and 2 daughters.[12]  One of the daughters was Magdalena.  The other may have been their son, John, misclassified on the census.  Magdalena married Abraham Losee on 16 Nov 1751 at the DRC Fishkill, NY.[13]  The record states she was of Bedvoort.  Paul Vandervoort and his wife, Jannetje Vandewater, moved to Fishkill by 1744 when they joined the DRC of Fishkill, NY.[14]  Paul/Powell Vandervoort appears in the tax listings of Rombout, Dutchess Co., NY for 1747, 1748 and 1753-1763.[15]  Based on mortgage records, John and his father, Paul, owned adjacent land.[16]  John was probably living in Kings Co. NY, when his daughter, Elizabeth, was baptized at the DRC of Flatbush in 1752.  John begins to appear on the tax lists of Rombout, Dutchess Co., NY in 1758 and continues until 1771.[17]  One of the witnesses for John’s grandson, Jan Vandervoort, son of Lambert and Elsje Vandervoort, was Jannetje Vandervoort, the child’s great grandmother, so also John’s mother.

3)      The naming of their children suggests that John was the son of Paul Vandervoort and Jannetje Vandewater and that Elizabeth was the daughter of Lambert Andriessen and Lea Liverse:

-                  - Jane, named after her paternal grandmother,

-                 -  Lea, named after her maternal grandmother,

-                  - Paul, named after his paternal grandfather,

-                 -  Lambert, named after his maternal grandfather,

-                  - Elizabeth, named after her mother,

-                  - John, named after his father.

4)   Their sons, Paul, Lambert and John appear in the tax listing of Dutchess Co., NY beginning in 1772.  Their father, John, appears in the 1765, 1770 and 1771 listings.  He did not appear in the 1772 listing, so he apparently had died and his sons inherited his land.[18]

5)   Paul Vandervoort and Mary Baker’s children, John and Elizabeth, were named after their paternal grandparents, and their children, Nathaniel and Hannah, were named after the maternal grandparents.[19]

6)   Paul Vandervoort and Mary Baker had a son named Lambert, named after his paternal uncle, who appears as Lambert Vandervoort, age 16-26 in the 1800 US Census of Catskill, NY.[20]

7)   Lambert Vandervoort and Elsje Van Enden’s eldest son, Abraham[21], was named after his maternal grandfather, and their 2nd son, John,[22] was named after his paternal grandfather,   They may have had a 2^nd daughter, Elizabeth, named after her paternal grandmother.[23]

One other indication that John Vandervoort, husband of Elizabeth Andriessen, was the son of Paul Vandervoort and Jannetje Vandewater is the vague reference "he drifted north with other members of the family to Rensselaer Co." regarding Paul Vandervoort, husband of Mary Banker from the Banker genealogy.  I believe this is regarding John A. Losee, probable son of Magdalena Vandervoort, John’s sister, and her husband, Abraham Losee.

Magdalena Vandervoort, d/o Paul Vandervoort and Jannetje Vandewater, was baptized 9 APR 1727 DRC of New Utrecht, NY, witnesses John Vandervoort and Helen, his wife. She married Abraham Losee on 16 NOV 1751 at the DRC of Fishkill, Dutchess, NY They had two children baptized at the DRC of Hopewell:
1) Paul, baptized 27 AUG 1758
2) Abraham, baptized 18 SEP 1768

John A. Losee, b 16 APR 1753 (tombstone), married Sarah Banker, b 16 JUN 1756 (tombstone), d/o Nathaniel Banker and Hannah Conklin.[24] They had the following children:
1) Abraham
2) John Jr., b 12/19/1777, per tombstone. He married Elizabeth Secor.
3) Hannah
4) Elizabeth, b 26 MAR 1786, per baptismal record on 2/12/1792 at Schaghticoke Reformed Church,         Rensselaer Co., NY
5) Mary, b 23 DEC 1789 per baptismal record on 2/12/1792 at Schaghticoke Reformed Church,                 Rensselaer Co., NY
6) Jane

I think this John A. Losee was also a son of Abraham Losee and Magdalena Vandervoort, thus an “other” family member. Hannah was named after her maternal grandmother. I am guessing Abraham and Magdalena were named after the paternal grandparents.

John A. Losee and Sarah Banker eventually settled in Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. A Vandervoort family settled nearby, but the head of the family had died by the 1830 census. I believe they were the children of John Vandervoort, b 1781.  The 1855 state census of Jefferson lists a Peter Vandervoort who was born in Jefferson in 1808.[25]  John A. Losee mentions a Betsey Vandervoort in his will. He does not mention his relationship with her, but she is probably the daughter of the nearby Vandervoort family.

John Vandervoort, husband of Catherine Sprong, did not marry 2nd Elizabeth Andriesse. I think Ledley [NYGBR July 1978] assumed that because he could not find any other John Vandervoort who could be the husband of Elizabeth Andriesse.  Anne, John and Catherine's youngest daughter[26], married Henry Bertholf on 21 NOV 1773. His pension record mentions her parents, John and Catherine Vandervoort.[27]  Anna was born 10 Jul 1757 and died 09 Jan 1849, buried in Locust Hill Cemetery, Warwick, Orange, NY,[28] so she was born long after John Vandervoort and Elizabeth Andriessen had their daughter Elizabeth baptized in 1752.
