In Neeltje Corsen's father Christian Corsen's will dated 5 FEB 1762, he begueathed two 40 acre land sites to his daughter Neeltie, the wife of France Gebrants & after her decease, I give & bequeath the same lands to her two sons Christian & Daniel.... Christian & Daniel paying the sum of fifty pounds a piece to their two sisters, Eleanor or Nelly & Antje, or to their heirs or assigns in six months after the deceased of their mother.
Since there were other Garbrants men in N.Y. who could have had a daughter Elizabeth who md. Peter Post 14 Nov 1760 (N.Y. mgs., Bef 1784,p.164) and only one Frans Gerbrants Jr. who had a daughter Elizabeth buried 4 OCT 1731 at NYDC. I have gone with the evidence stated in the will that one of Frans & Neeltje Gerbrants daughters was deceased & have assumed it was Elizabeth, since the mg. in 1660 does not name a father & the burial lists Frans Gerbrants Jr.
Eleanor Garrebrants gravestone reads: died 29 Jan -- age 80 yrs. 8 Mos., so her abt b. year 1821.

Notes:

(Research):Not sure about marriage to a Jane Varley. JH Martineau journal makes no mention of it and it appears from his statements that both Julia and Lucretia are daughters of Mrs. Hawkins, which the AF has as Sarah. It is possible Sarah is the wrong first name and Jane Varley was Mrs. Hawkins. This all needs to be researched.

In Wendell Martineau's research his close scrutiny found this in --Jan 2001-- that in the 1830 New York census index his name is listed with an E. Martineau, but looking at the original handwritting he found it to be written C. Martineau, and found all names to correspond with his information---The 1850 census index of New York, shows no Cornelius Martineau but on the census itself is found his name,
Cornelius Martineau age 44 carpenter, wife Elizabeth 39, & a list of children, a son in-law and a Mother in-law. We find in the 1820 census that the John Betts family (his wifes family) grew up & lived in Castletown, Staten Island where Cornelius grew up.

Online Wikipedia entry on Florida, Montgomery, New York, of which the "Village of Port Jackson" was a part at the time of James' birth:
"In 1880, the "Village of Port Jackson" in the town was annexed to form part of the City of Amsterdam. Port Jackson had been an important port on the Erie Canal and a ferry station connecting the south side of the Mohawk River to the City of Amsterdam."

Hence, in his journal James says he was born "in the village of Port Jackson, Florida, Amsterdam, Montgomery County, State of New York."
