Background

    Before going into further details concerning Marten, the first ancestor, it is necessary to state that his wife was Annetje Rapelje, daughter of Joris Jansen de Rapelje, whom he married in Brooklyn, 1663.
    Joris Jansen de Rapelje came from Rochelle, France, in the ship New Netherlands, the first ship sent out by the West India Company. He was married either just prior to his journey, upon the voyage, or shortly after his arrival. At any rate the lady who became his wife came on the same ship with him. Her name was Catalina Tricot. She was a daughter of George Tricot, and was born in Paris, France, in 1605. They were destined to become the parents of the first white child born in the colony, namely, Sarah Rapelje, who was born at Fort Orange (now Albany) in the year 1625 on June 9. This circumstance identifies the family with the very foundation of Christian civilization in America. The children and grandchildren intermarried with the Ryerson family, thus uniting the two families. A sister of Sarah, aforesaid, Annetje (Anne), was born Feb. 8, baptized Mar. 18, 1646, and married Marten Ryerson, of Amsterdam. Their descendants form the Ryerson family of today.
