Biography

Pieter Kantyn was a son of a Huguenot emigrant (1540-1790).

A son (first name not recorded in the transcription) of Moise Quentin and Lisbette D'Oyaux, his wife, was baptized in New Paltz, Ulster County, New York, on 21 May 1693. Godparents were Pierre Guimar and Rachel Hasbroucq.[1] This child is identified as Pieter Kantyn.

Pieter Kantyn was married 1715 Jun 16th to Elisabeth Blans Jans of Horly, as recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church in Kingston.[2] Their children are:

  1. Elisabeth [3]
  2. Moses [4]
  3. Margrietjen [5]
  4. Elisabeth [6],
  5. Matheus [7]
  6. Maria [8],
  7. Nathaniel [9]
  8. Catrina [10]
  9. Abraham [11]
  10. Petrus [12],
  11. Cornelia [13], and
  12. Johannes [14]

At the Reformed Dutch Church in Kingston Pieter and his wife witnessed the baptisms of her niece, Margrietjen Le-Feber [15], her nephew, Mattheus Blansjan [16], her cousin, Marytjen du Boy [17], Elisabeth Freer [18], her nephew, Nathaniel Feeber [19], Petrus le-Feber [20], and their granddaughter, Elisabeth Jansz [21]

Pietter Contain of the Corporation of Kingston was assessed for 12 pounds in the Ulster County tax assessment list of 23 January 1716/7. The only other entry for this surname on this tax list is that for Moses Contain (his father), also in Kingston.[22]

Pieter died 1769 Oct 25th in Marbletown, New York. [citation needed]

Notes

  • Appended to the reliable summery of documents pertaining to the estate of Mathew Contine is a genealogy by the author deem unreliable that lists Mathew as Pieter's fifth child. [23].
  • Schoonmaker, Marius. The History of Kingston, New York: from it Early Settlement to the Year 1820 (Burr Printing House, New York, 1888) p 475.
Cantine -- Moses Kantyn was the original representative of the Cantines in this country. He emigrated from Bordeaux, France, to England, and from thence to America.
His son, Pieter Kantyne, on the 20th of September, 1703, married Elizabeth, daughter of Matthys Blanshan, Jr., and Margaret Schoonhoven. They had thirteen children.
Moses, the oldest, December 1st, 1739, married Maria Slecht, of Duchess County.
Matthew married, December 9th, 1744, Katrine Nottingham.
The other children were Nathaniel, Abraham, Peter, Daniel, Johannes, Margaret, Elizabeth, Marritje, Cornelia, and Katrina, besides one who died in infancy.
Simon Lefever, father-in-law was Christian Deyo, died young (about 1690) and his widow, Elizabeth Deyo, married Moyse/Moses Cantain, a French Protestant, whose wife had died on the passage to America, who occupied the homestead at New Paltz until the LeFevre boys were grown (about 1704), and then removed to Ponckhokie.
In 1693, May 21, they had a son, Peter, baptized and he is the ancestor of the Cantine family.
a deed, dated in 1704, from Moses Cantain of Kingston and Mary, his wife, to Mattys Dubois.
At the same date (1715) in the same regiment in Capt. Nicholas Hoffman's company for Kingston we find the following: Roeloff Eling, William Elting, Peter Cantyn, Louis DuBois, Jun., Louis Matthyse Dubois, Jan Freer, Johannes Crispel.
  • Could this record be about Pieter's son, Daniel, who is mentioned in the Schoonmaker book [24]?
