Biography

Gerrit Cornelissen, born 24th Juli 1631 in the town of Putten (very close to Nijkerk), whose parents were Cornelis Killen and Bijtie Gerrits, who were married in 1630. They had three children, born resp. in 1631, 1633 and 1634. None was called Mattheus. Seeing that the "boy" on the Moesman was about 12 he would have been born around 1647. Gerrit married Aeltie (Aeltjen) Gerrits in Putten on the 2nd December 1655. In the register of the Dutch Reformed Church it states clearly that Gerrit is the son of Cornelis Killen en Aeltjen the daughter of Gerrit Janssen. Gerrit Cornelissen and his wife moved to Nijkerk and only had the one child Disje, born on the 11th July 1658[1] The whole family then disappears from view. It could therefore well be that this is the Gerrit mentioned on the passenger list of the Moesman with wife and suckling child. It could also be that Gerrit and his family simply moved away to another town. Gerrit turns up in America married to Chieltje Slecht (Sleght).....[2]
The passenger list [3] of the Moesman, 25 April, 1659, contained the entry: "Gerrit Corn. van Niew-Kerk, and Wife and boy and sucking child. The boy was his brother Mattheus, aged about twelve years in 1659. Gerrit Cornelisse, probably from Nykerk, a town in Gelderland, or Nieuwerkerk, a town in Zeeland[4]
Mattheus stated that he came from Slichtenhorst which is a hamlet near Nijkerk it must have been the town of Nijkerk in Gelderland.[5]Mattheus left with his brother to the new Netherland, Mattheus was abt. 12 years of age in 1659, making his birth abt 1647

Birth

Mattheus was born in 1600.
Born 1600 in Slichtenhorst, Nijkerk, Gelderland, Netherlands
Matheuse was born after 1600. [6]
Matheus was born in 1686. Matheus Cornelison ... He passed away in 1705. [7]
August 15, 1686 Slichtenhorst (source ?) his wife was born abt 1655 so this would be a huge difference of age ...also they had a son baptized or born 1696, so the 1686 date of Birth is very unlikely (he would have been a father 10 years of age)

Church Records

1692 May 17 Jannetje; Matheus Cornelisen, Catreyna Paulus; sponsors: Marten Pouluse ym, Gerritje Gerrits widow of Barent Vochst? [8]

Death

12 May 1705 in Bergen, New Jersey
He passed away about 1642.
Died 1659 in , Netherlands

I have the Baptism record of Newkirk-116 who is JACOMYNTJE MATHEUSE VAN NIEUKIRK. It is from New Jersey, Births and Christenings Index, 1660-1931and U.S., Dutch Reformed Church Records in Selected States, 1639-1989 Holland Society of New York; New York, New York; Bergen, New Jersey, Book 59 This shows that her father is Cornelissen-211 who is Matheus Van Nieuwkerck formerly Cornelissen aka Cornelisse, van Nieuwkercke, Nieuwkirk and her mother is her mother is Anna Lubi.

Could you add he Newkirk to Cornelissen-211 and his wife Anna Lubi's children?

Hi,

Van Nieuwkirk-9 and Van Nieuwkerck-1 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same and can be merged , see posts added here :)

I have set Van Nieuwkirk-9 and this one as unmerged match, they look the same but have different wifes, so need some sources to determine weather he married twice or if maybe these are different people from a different generation ? One duplicate had a Birthdate of 1686, so it's possible this was a son of the abt 1647 one maybe ?

See post below, they seem to be duplicates so I think they can be merged , maybe someone has sources for them , like marriage or baptism records or transcripts , which could help make it more clear ?

All help is appreciated :)

Removed Elbertgen Woltersand as his mother and Aerdt Kil Hermanson Cornelison as his father, no idea where they are coming from , but will try if I can find something now (again ;) )

Ok found this genealogy it explains the Elbertgen Woltersand and Aerdt Kil Hermanson Cornelison profiles ..they have :

Mattheus Cornelisse Van Nieuwkerk Sex: M Birth: ABT 1600 in Holland
Father: Aerdt "KIl Herman" Gerrits b: ABT 1575 in Arokemehen Mother: Elbertgen Woltersand
Marriage 1 Bijtie Gerrits b: in Putten, Holland, Netherland Married: 9 NOV 1630 in Putten, Gerlderland, Holland

And Children: 1. Gerret Cornelisse Van Nieuwkerk b: 1631 in Putten, Gelderland, Holland 2. Matteus" Cornelis Hermans" Van Nieuwkerk b: ABT 1642 in Putten, Gelderland, Holland

So for the patronymic, Gerrit Cornelisse was more likely a son of a Cornelis...so no idea why this Mattheus was added ??

But anyway, their Mattheus Corneliss Van Nieukirk (Van Nieuwkercke) has a Birthdate: December 4, 1642 Birthplace: Slichtenhorst, Nijkerk, Gelderland, Netherlands and Death: Died May 12, 1705 in Bergen, New Jersey And he is mentioned as Husband of:

  1. Catrina Nieuwkerck;
  2. Anna Lubi
  3. Catreyna Cornelison

So I guess the unmerged match can be removed and they can be merged ? (they are duplicates ?)

I think this (also) is the Matheus (so a duplicate of the other Matheus brothers) who was mentioned as the brother of Gerrit , who travelled with them to the New Netherland , 12 years of age in 1659...mother Bijtje Gerrits was married to Cornelis Killen ..Patronymicly this would make more sense as well of course.

So I think we'd better correct this and add or search for a Cornelis Killen profile ...Kil is a common name in Gelderland (the van Rensselaer , van Renseler family has man names Kil or Killen, later derived : Killiaen (the first Killiaen actually was named 'Kille Jan') So the place Nijkerk seems very well possible as well

Newkirk-170 and Van Nieuwkerck-1 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same man, the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. The wife is the same match, and the son Matheus is the same match, but with a 1686 birth date error that is too late. Thanks!

Cornelison-149 and Van Nieuwkerck-1 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same man married to the same wife, but the son Mattheus born 1686 seems to be off by a couple generations, or a birth error. That can be adjusted later. Thanks!

Van Nieuwkerck-1 and Van Nieukirk-1 appear to represent the same person because: The name on this match is probably reversed between the first name and the patronym. But it is the same man, the oldest common paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. It should be merged into the previously established merged profile Van Niewkirk-1. Add aka Van Nieuwkerck. This has a marriage to keep, married November 9, 1630. Thanks!

The LNAB here and the stated lineage backwards on this line are completely bogus.

It is possible that this Matheus was instead born as son of

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Nieuwkirk-8

but that would be merely speculation based on a rationale for his being born with a Cornelison patronymic, which then became an adopted surname on this line for generations going forward.

But in any case it is impossible for this Matheus to be son of these attahced parents, Son of Mattheus Cornelison and Bijtie Gerrits.

And the usage of the Cornelison *surname* for the male lineage backwards from this Matheus is entirely fabricated.

There will need to be an entire re-sourcing of those ancestors to determine who they actually were.
