• Notes

  He settled at Beest (Beesd), near Leerdam. He embarked with his brother Michael and their respective families 16 Apr 1663 in the ship "De Bonte Koe," Jan Bergen, Master. Each adult was charged 39 florins, children under ten, except infants, half price. It cost Jan Bastiaensen for the transportation of himself, his wife and children 204 florins, 10 stivers. He may have been the "Kortryck" who owned a bouwery on Staten Island in 1674. He spent part of his time at Harlem, but is last mentioned there 8 Jan 1677 when he was a witness to a power of attorney given his old friend, Jan Louwe Bogert to Hendrick Jansen Baker, to collect money due Bogert on Brooklyn property sold to Thomas Lamberts. ****************************************** Witnessed 8 JAN 1676/77 Power of Attorney for Jan Louwe Bogert to Hendrick Jansen Baker On Page 98 of Riker's "REVISED[!] History of Harlem": Jan Bastiaesen, whose three sons were born at Beest, his humble home in a bend of the Linge, were now fast approaching manhood, yielded to the flattering offers held out to colonists & agreed to leave together for that distant land. The contagion also seized some of the neighbors at Schoonrewoerd, one of who was Jan Lowe BOGART, a young man with a wife & two children & whose kinsman, Theunis Gysberts BOGART had already been 10 years in America. They all embarked April 16, 1663 in The "Brindled Cow", Jan Bergen, Master. There also sailed several French Refugee Families" D.T. Holling, DCML, 9/3/2001 "To Leerdam had retired from the religious troubles in Flanders, as before noticed, the family of Sebastian, or Bastiaen van Kortryk, about all we know of this Kortright progenitor with his royal Spanish name. Two sons of Bastiaen, of whom we must speak, Jan and Michiel, were born at Leerdam ; but the first married and settled some farther up the Linge, at a busy little village within sight of Wolfswaert Castle, as also of the ruined abbey of Marienwaert, and called Beest, its bailiwick of the same name joining westerly to the Prince’s Land, but within the Gelderland border." James Riker's "History of Harlem", 1881, NY; Ch. 5, pg. 106 "To the Colonie afterward Do. Schaets had also gone. Each bit of news wafted home from time to time in friendly letters served to quicken interest in the new country which had caused so many vacant tenements and broken families about Beest and Schoonrewoerd. Yet ‘Chiel Kortright tarried some years at the latter place, till blest with three or four children; when he and his elder brother, Jan Bastiaensen, whose three sons, born at Beest, his humble home in a bend of the Linge, were now fast approaching manhood, yielded to the flattering offers held out to colonists, and agreed to leave together for that distant land. The contagion had also seized some of the neighbors at Schoonrewoerd, one of whom was Jan Louwe Bogert, a young man with wife and two children, and whose kinsman, Theunis Gysberts Bogert, of Heykoop, two miles northwest of Schoonrewoerd, had been already ten years in America. Proceeding to Amsterdam, they all embarked, April 16th, 1663, in the Brindled Cow, Jan Bergen, master, in which ship there also sailed several French refugees from Mannheim, in the Palatinate, who will command further notice." J. Riker, Hist of Harlem, Ch 5 "Soon after this [October 12th, 1662], the Palatinate was threatened with hostile invasion by the Duke of Lorraine and other neighboring Catholic princes. The refugees having every thing to fear from such enemies to their kind and religion, many more of these hastily quit Mannheim. The Demarest, Oblinus, and Parmentier families, with Journee, returned to Holland, apparently with purpose formed of going to New Netherland, for making short stay at Amsterdam they all embarked for that country in the Brindled Cow, April 16th, 1663; having in company Jean Mesurolle, a Picard, but then from Mannheim, Jerome Boquet (Bokee) and Pierre Noue, both originally from Walslant; beside our several Dutch colonists before noticed, the Bogerts and Kortrights, from Schoonrewoerd and vicinity. Men, women, and children, there were ninety odd passengers, the French composing a third. Each adult was charged for passage and board thirty-nine forms; children of ten years and under, except infants, half price. It cost Jan Bastiaensen (Kortright) for himself and family 204 fl. 10 st., and David Demarest, 175 fl. 10 st." James Riker, "History of Harlem", 1881, NY; Pg. 117 In the next 75 years this family migrated from Harlem to Esopus and the Minisink area of New York/New Jersey and then around 1735 to the south branch of the Potomac.
