Biography

Cornelius Andrieszen/Andriessen/Anderson, the son of Jochem Andrieszen and Emmetje Jans was born about 1670. He was baptized 26 Sep 1670 in the in the New York Reformed Dutch Church. [1]

At some point in the late 17th century Cornelius and his two brothers, Enoch and Joshua followed their father to New Jersey where they eventually settled in Hopewell Township, Hunterdon.[2]

Cornelius married Annetje (Anna) Opdyck about 1689 in Hopewell Township in New Jersey.

Known children of Cornelius and Anna include:

  1. Eliakim
  2. John
  3. Abraham, baptised: 6 Jun 1710 at Hopewell, New Jersey[3]
  4. Cornelius, born abt. in 1698
  5. Rebecka, born abt. 1700; baptised 6 June 1710 at Hopewell, New Jersey.[4]
  6. Bartholomeus (Bartholomew) born about 1706; baptised 6 June 1710 at Hopewell, New Jersey.[5]
  7. Andrus (Andrew born about 1710) baptised 6 June 1710 at Hopewell, New Jersey.[6]
  8. Fransinah (born abt. 1714)

Cornelius of Hopewell, Hunterdon, New Jersey died intestate before 24 May 1724 when a bond was issued to his widow Annah and son, Eliakim as Administers of his Estate. John Anderson, and Francis Vannoy of said County were fellow bondsman. Lib. 2, page 263 [7]

Research Notes

Cornelius had a mill near a school-house and was a tax-collector in Hopewell Township. He was also one of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church in Trenton Township[8] (which later became Ewing Township of Hunterdon County, and became part of Mercer County when that county was created in 1838).

In 1698 Cornelius, Enoch, and Joshua Anderson were made Trustees, along with Johannes and Lawrence Opdyck, for the 100-acre lot set out in Maidenhead Township for church,school and burial purposes. In 1709 Cornelius and his brother Enoch were trustees of the church lot at Ewing. In 1710 they were made Trustees, with Lawrence and Albertus Opdyck, and Joshua Anderson, for the Lawrenceville church plot.[9]

Research Notes

LNAB is Andriesen. Cornelius was a witness at the baptism of his niece Francina on 2 Apr 1693.[10]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Kornelis by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Kornelis:

I see that son Abraham (Anderson-21452) has been removed without comment. Going to that profile one sees that he has been assigned as the son of Joshua, brother of Cornelis. Both Joshua and Cornelis show in their respective profiles that they had a son named Abraham so, if that is true, another profile might be in order. Unless there is evidence to show that the Abraham who married Susan Berger was the son of Joshua, I recommend that his parentage be restored and then a new Abraham profile can be created for the son of Joshua. If there is rationale for maintaining Abraham as son of Joshua, then the date of birth, bio and DNA references need to be updated and a new profile created for Abraham son of Cornelis.

Many relationship connections on WikiTree were created from gedcom imports of unsourced or poorly sourced family trees. Over time, some relationships get confirmed by good sources and other relationships get removed when someone researches them and fails to find evidence.

All of us can contribute to seeking (and hopefully finding) sources for the profiles of people who interest us, and of course adding the sources and discussing evidence in the people's profiles.

The Anderson-21452 profile has a very specific birth date for Abraham, but I don't see a source for the date, nor any indication of records that show his parents' names. If you have reliably-sourced evidence to connect him to these parents, please add it to the profile(s), then post your request(s) for relationship edits.

According to this baptismal record, Abraham was indeed a son of Cornelius.

You are correct in that both cornelius and Joshua had sons named Abraham. Joshua named Abraham as a son in his will. Knowing the correct birth dates on each Abraham might be a bit tricky, but I'll do some research.

RE: CHILDREN of Cornelis and Annetje Opdyck I need help.

One big question as I work on 2 resolution issues regarding earlier relationships in my ancestry.com tree and to correct any errors I may have made at Wiki. I have way too many surnames for his children. I'm working on "issues" one-by-one and need help on these 2 before I will get anywhere.

1. Did any of HIS CHILDREN get born using any other spelled version of their birthname than ANDERSON?

2. Paragraph 3 in the bio says they had only 8 children. I have 10 ... the 2 extras being Anna Catherine Cornelisse Anderson Vannoy AND Susannah (Suzanna) Baker Anderson Vannoy through whom I am most likely related. Can anyone confirm that these 2 women are either definitely their daughters or definitely not their daughters? (I can't see the trees from the forest and could use affirmation that they were his daughters so that I can make progress on cleaning up "discrepancies" that are causing nothing but roadblocks.)

Spelling is almost useless as a tool when working with a population descended from New Netherlanders. There was no such thing as consistent spelling. The baptism records in New Jersey or New York typically would use Dutch spellings such as Andriesen or Andriesz or Andriessen. The spelling Anderson might show up in records maintained by the English (such as probate records or deeds), and it appears to have been used by modern authors, and probably by these people themselves when migrated away from their native region. It also is possible that some other sibling branches ended up with a name like Andrews.

The New Netherland project does not try to maintain resources for researching families like these after they left New Jersey, and I (for one) am not very knowledgeable about New Jersey sources other than a few good sources for New Netherland. Heather Husted from the New Jersey Project is likely to know about additional sources for New Jersey records, though. Also, history sources like the church history at https://www.jstor.org/stable/23323463 (which mentions Enoch Anderson) and the discussion of the southward migration at http://www.sonsofdewittcolony.org/mckstmerjersey.htm may be helpful for you.

I'm confused. If he died on 13 May 1724 in Hopewell, HOW could he be a founder of the First Presbyterian Church in 1838, over a century later than his death? Was there a 19th century Cornelis with different BD dates? Did this First Presbyterian Church of Ewing Cemetery exist in 1724 when he would have been buried? Was this the property of Cornelis in 1724 but the location of the church in 1838?

The entity that was created in 1838 is Mercer County. You were reading a somewhat cryptic parenthetical note regarding the name change.

I knew next to nothing about Mercer County, but I found out about the history by looking it up in Wikipedia, then I revised the profile text to clarify the intended meaning of the parenthetical note.

I see in your research notes that you took things from trees at ancestry ... Heads up ... I hope you didn't take from mine because I accidentally merged the 2 Annetje Opdyck and gave all the children to Kornelis / Cornelius Jochems Andriesen Sr. and this part of my family tree is most definitely a work in progress. I can't get myself to bite the bullet and disconnect all children and the merged wife to start over re-connecting them. Maybe I will do the disconnect today. Kornelis is most likely my 7th great-grandfather through Susanna/Susannah Baker Anderson Vannoy. What I have may turn out to be far from fact. Wish I could help but I don't have the time.

Also ... In the bio ... I think Province of NJ should be added as part of the marriage location to show that he left NY.

Cornelius was the son of Joachim Andrieszen, who was originally from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, the Netherlands, and his wife, Emmetje Jans Andrieszen.

He was baptized on Sep. 26, 1670 at the New York City Dutch Church. He married Annetje Opdyck in 1690 in Hopewell Twp. They had eight children: Eliakim in 1690, John, Abraham, Cornelius in 1698, Rebecca in 1700, Bartholomew in 1706, Andrew about 1710 and Fransinah about 1714. The birthyears of the other two are unknown. Cornelius had a mill near a school-house and was a tax-collector in Hopewell Twp. He was also one of the founders of the First Presbyterian Church in Ewing Twp., Mercer Co. He died intestate, and letters of administration regarding his estate were filed in Hunterdon Co. on May 25, 1724. (Mercer Co. was carved from Hunterdon Co. in 1838.) It is assumed, but not confirmed, that Cornelius was buried in First Presbyterian Church of Ewing Cemetery. He was a trustee of the church, and lived nearby for the rest of his life.. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=49076126&ref=acom
