Christiaan Christiaansz Christiaan Christiaansz sailed to New Netherland as a boy on de Vergulde Bever, 25 April 1659. He arrived shortly before 9 August 1659 when his passage was paid by Jeremias van Rensselaer and he was placed as a farm servant with Jan Barentsz Poest alias Wemp at Rensselaerswyck. On 23 June 1671 Christiaan purchased 1-1/2 morgans (almost 3-1/2 acres) at Schenectady from Paulus Jansen. In 1694 he sold his village lot there with 100 foot frontage, adjoining that of the church and later part of the church property, to Neeltje Claes, widow of Hendrick Gardenier. His first wife, presumed to be Elizabeth Ysbrants, died probably in Schenectady after 1685 when her last child was born, but before 1692 when Christiaan married Maritje Ysbrants (Elizabeth’s sister). He was still living in 1696/1697 when his last child Maritje was baptised." Barbara A. Barth, "Family of Ysbrant Eldersz of Rennselaerswyck," New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, October 1997: Note: New Netherland consisted of settlements mainly along the Hudson, Delaware, and Connecticut Rivers, which today are parts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. https://sites.rootsweb.com/~nycoloni/ Rensselaerswyck is near where Albany, New York is now. |
