Immigration

Cornelis Dircksen Hooglant, agriculturer - and wife, and son 24 years old and daughter 2 years, sailed aboard De Hoop, The Hope, from Amsterdam, Netherlands on April 8, 1662; Captain Pieter Emilius. They arrived at New Amsterdam, NN on June 1662.^[16]. This conflicts with the Cornelis' being in New Amsterdam in 1638 where he kept goats for their milk in 1638 for Wouter Van Twiller, as per p. 2 of Calendar of Dutch Historical Manuscripts. This suggests that he had returned to the Netherlands?

Cornelius Dircksen - Ferryman

"Cornelius Dircksen, aka Cornelius Dircksen Hoagland or Hoochlandt, was the first man to begin ferry service between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Cornelius was a landowner, farmer, and inn-owner in New Amsterdam. His 16 acres of farmland extended from Pearl and Wall Streets all the way up to Peck Slip. By the mid-1630s, most of the population worked for the Dutch West India Company and the Dutch began to spread out into Brooklyn. Cornelius offered irregular service and his canoe was rowed back and forth between what is now Maiden Lane in Manhattan and Brooklyn’s Joralemon Street. This ferry route later moved and began service between Peck Slip and Wallabout Bay, which incidentally was also a natural route taken by the Native Americans due to its shorter distance between Manhattan and Brooklyn". The canoe was replaced with more commodious crafts as the population grew.

"In later times, this ferry route became heavily used by Robert Fulton’s Nassau ferry until service ceased operations in 1924 after the success of the East River bridges".

"Cornelius owned a tavern near his Manhattan ferry landing; most of his guests were newcomers to New Amsterdam or visiting fur traders working for the Dutch West India Company. He also owned 33 acres of land near Fulton’s Landing in Brooklyn, which he eventually sold to Willem Thomassen (another source says Janssen) for 2,300 guilders in 1643. He regretted this decision when a new tavern on Thomassen’s property eventually became very popular".

A Cornelis Dirksen Hooglandt of Flatlands in 1660/1661, sold a farm in Flatlands of 62 acres together with a brewery house and brewery apparatus to Steven Koerts Van Vorhees for 3,000 guilders. Van Vorhees had recently arrived on de Bonte Coe on November 29, 1660. This is likely the same Cornelis Dirksen Hooglandt. ^[17]

Note: Flatlands is a neighborhood in the southeast part of the present borough of Brooklyn in New York City. ...Flatlands was given the right to local rule in 1661 by Peter Stuyvesant as one of the five Dutch Towns on Long Island.^[18]

Death

Cornelis Dirksen Hooglandt died:

1675 at Brooklyn, Province of New York, British America^{[19][20][21][22]}

1676 in Province of New York, British America ^[23]
