• Notes

  (1) Bap. p. 29. Alive in 1698. (2) He is listed as 6 yrs. old in 1657 when his mother appeared before the Orphan Masters of New Amsterdam. (6) His Bap. & Mg. are given on one of these pages; 31,34,43,44,52,53,54, (5) His wife Catherine Van der Beek & Mg. date are given p. 382-83. Catherine was the widow of Daniel Ruychon. (7) His wife Catherine is listed p. 425. Her information is also given in NYG&B rec. Vol. 94 p.134-7 (8) NYG&B rec. Vol. 94, p. 235, "On 28 Mar 1698, Pieter Coursen, the second husband of Catherine Van der Beek, conveyed for 250 ,a tract of 180 acres on Lubbertsen's Neck in Kings County, N.Y., to Cornelis Sebring (Kings Co. Deeds:2:164). This Cornelis was the husband of Aeltje, daughter of Frederick Lubbers &Tryntje, Pieters mother, as Frederick had married Pieter's widowed mother in 1657, the two men, Pieter & Cornelis, could be called brothers-in-law, as indeed they were so called in the following: "On Aug 19 1689, John Marsh of New Jersey, entered into an agreement with Pieter Corssen & his brother-in=law, Cornelis Sebring, for the erection of a water mill to be built upon the meadows of Corssen & Sebring" (Ibid:1:271). This crucial item is cited by Orville Corson in "Three Hundred Years with the Corson Families in America, 1929, v. 1, p. 52, & Somerset County Historical Quarterly, v. 3, p. 120. In return for this deed Cornelis Sebring gave a bond, dated 20 Mar 1698, in which he promised to support Pieter Corssen as long as he should live. This document is good evidence, as the compiler of the Corson Families admits, that there was no surviving child of Pieter Corssen Vroom in 1698.
