Grietje DIRCKS m. (1st) Sergeant Jan Hermanszen SCHUTT by 1650. A soldier, he was killed by Indians in 1652. They had one child, Fytie (AKA Phebe), baptized 23 Apr 1651. (Grietje was short for Margrietje or Margaret. It should not be confused with the similar name Geertie, which was Dutch for 'Charity.' There was a 'Geertie Dircks' running around Manhattan and popping up in records during the 1600s. Grietje and Geertie were two unique individuals.)

• Fytie "Phebe" SCHUTT...bapt. 23 Apr 1651, m. Jean "Jan" DE CONSIELLE (or DE CONSIELJE/CONSIELLE, later spelled CONSELYEA). [2008: There is still a Conselyea Street in Bushwick.]
  • Elizabeth CONSELYEA....bapt. in 1677 at the New York DRC, witnessed by Stynte NAGEL and Jan NAGEL. [The former was her mother's half sister. Jan NAGEL is a problem. He was not listed — not even as a stepson — when Grietje's children were named in Orphan Court records after her second husband Jan NAGEL died. Perhaps the listing should have read 'Jurian NAGEL.']
  • Margaret CONSELYEA.....m. Nicholas (Claas) BOGART (BOGAERT/BOGERT). She may also have m. a John VAN TILBURG, possibly 1st. ["History of Harlem" by John Riker, 1904]

        • Losee VAN COTT....m. Lovinia Jemima PRATT; her brother's son, Parley PRATT, explored the passage between Park City and Salt Lake City - now named Parley's Canyon - without which the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City would have been impossible.
          • John VAN COTT....7 Sep 1814-18 Feb 1883, b. in Canaan, Columbia Co., NY, died in Salt Lake City, UT. He married Lucy Lavinia SACKETT on 15 Sep 1835 at Canaan, NY. John joined the Latter Day Saints, moved to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1846, and was a "captain of ten" in their 1847 emigration on the Oregon Trail. They arrived in the Salt Lake Valley on 25 Sep 1847 and settled near the current South Tenth and West Temple streets. He was appointed the church's ambassador to Scandinavia, living there from 1852 to 1856 and again from 1859 to 1862, then became one of the "First Seven Presidents of Seventies" from 1862 until his death. A descendant's site reports that "After his return, he yielded obedience to the law of celestial marriage and took five wives, by whom he became the father of twenty-eight children."
            • Mary VAN COTT....2 Feb 1844-Jan 1884, b. in Canaan, Columbia Co., NY, died in Salt Lake City, UT. She m. (1st) James Thornton COBB — a school teacher, journalist, regent of Deseret University and stepson of Brigham YOUNG — about 1859. They had one daughter in 1860. James took Camilla Clara MIETH as his second wife on 14 Nov 1864. Mary and James divorced on 16 May 1867. She m. (2nd) Brigham YOUNG on 8 Jan 1868 as the 14th of Brigham's 'official count' of 19 wives, per an LDS site. (She was the 47th wife in Wikipedia's listing of his 52 wives, which claims he took her in 1865. His official biography at BYU states he had 27 wives.) She is buried in Salt Lake City's downtown Brigham Young Cemetery near her husband.
              • Luella Van Cott COBB....21 Oct 1860-, m. (1st) in Feb 1876 to middle-aged John Willard YOUNG, a son of Brigham YOUNG by his first wife. She was 15 years old when she became his fifth wife. They divorced in May 1890. She m. (2nd) to Nathaniel Maynard BRIGHAM on 18 Jun 1894, yet another relative of Brigham YOUNG.
              • Fannie Van Cott YOUNG...14 Jan 1870-31 Jan 1950, b. and d. in Salt Lake City, UT. [Could she be considered an aunt to her older half sister, being a step sister to her half sister's father?]

Grietje m. (2nd) Sergeant Jan NAGEL Von Limberg on 27 Sep 1652, and lived with him in a house "on the north side of Hoogh Straet opposite the [City] Hall" — which had been sold to him by one of her father's Scandinavian friends, Claes CARSTENSEN, in 1653. On 4 Feb 1654 she was one of the witnesses, along with her uncle Jan VINGE, at the baptism of sister Magdalena's daughter Marritie. Jan elevated himself to the position of burger on 13 Apr 1657 but died soon after, leaving Grietje to care for three children. On 28 May 1658, the New Amsterdam Orphans' Court recorded: "Appear Abraham Verplanck and Andries De Haas who declare that Grietje Dirck, widow of Jan Nagel, has remarried and has appointed them guardians of children of the aforesaid deceased Jan Nagel and of her former deceased husband Jan Schutt who left a little daughter named Fytje Jans, 7 years old. The two children of marriage with Jan Nagel are a son named Jurrien Jansz Nagel, 5 years old, and a daughter named Styntje [Christina] Janzen Nagel, 2-1/2 years old. Fytje Jans (Schutt) is to receive 150 guilders. The other two each 75 guilders." The Holland Society Year Book, 1901, lists conveyances of land, 1665-1672, including: "Nagel, Jan (widow of) to Asser Levy (Jew)."

• Jurian NAGEL, baptized 28 Sept 1653 at the New York DRC, witnessed by "Cornelis Van Tienhoven, Cornelia Hendricksen, Jannetje Eesens." He may have been the Corporal Nagel stationed for 22 months in North Harlem about 1673. ["History of Harlem" by James Riker, 1904.] He lived in "Boswyck" per the records of the Flatbush Reformed Dutch Church when he m. Jannetje PHILLIPS (daughter of Phillip LANGELAN and sister of Annetje PHILLIPS who married his uncle Volkert DIRCKS) on 1 Jan 1679. [The marriage record erroneously called her "Maria" but did let us know she was a "yd of Pynacker, Holland."]
  
  They moved to Manhattan Island soon after marrying. Jannetje became a member of the New York DRC on 25 Aug 1679, a little more than a month before they baptized their first child there. Jurian became a member on 30 May 1683. They were both listed in church records in 1686, when they were reported living on New Street, and again in 1696 when it was reported they had previously removed to Bushwick. They possibly moved by 1694: on 14 Nov 1694 he and former Hoogh Straet neighbor Dorothea CALYER witnessed a baptism at the Brooklyn DRC. The 1698 Census listed him at Bushwick with a wife, five children and five slaves. A 1706 property list reported he owned 95 acres at Bushwick. Jurian's will was dated 2 Dec 1732 and probated 23 May 1738 (copy not found). The executors were his son Jan and son-in-law Andrew STOCKHOLM. It was witnessed by Hendrick VAN DE WATER, Pieter DEWITT, and Abraham LOTT, all of Bushwick. Jurian lived to be about 84, and Jannetje must have lived to at least 80.
  • Jan NAGEL.....bapt at the New York DRC on 1 Oct 1679 with his mother listed as "Jannetje." He died before 1695, when a later son was also named Jan.
  • Philip NAGEL...bapt. 29 Mar 1682 at the New York DRC Philip m. Annetje VAN WYCK (bapt. 9 Jul 1682, dau. of Cornelis VAN WYCK and Anna POLHEMUS — who was the dau. of the minister of the New York DRC). In 1706 he owned 13 acres at Bushwick. He was named in his father's 1732 will. The 1738 Census reported his household as 2 males over 10 years, 3 females over 10 years, 2 females under 10 years, and 7 slaves. On 10 May 1741 he sold 40 acres of his property to brother-in-law Andrew STOCKHOLM. In 1742 he was listed as one of the Justices of Bushwick.
    • Jurian NAGEL....bapt. 18 Apr 1704: "Jurrie. Phillippus Nagel, Annatje [witnesses:] Jurrie Nagel, Annetje Van Wyck." The witnesses must have been his grandparents. Jurian married and had a son and daughter, both born by 1728 (per 1738 Bushwick census). He also had 4 slaves in 1738.
      • Elizabeth NAGEL...b. or bapt. on 1 Jan 1726 (unconfirmed). She m. Johannes SWART (ca. 1730-1798, son of Jacobus SWART) on 13 Sep 1746 at the Flatbush DRC.

  • Neeltje NAGEL...probably b. ca. 1697, d. by 1728. She m. Andrew/Andries STOCKHOLM (1696-20 Feb 1773), whose surname likely indicated his family origins.

They were listed as members of the New York DRC in 1686 [it identified them as living on Brede Weg (Broadway)]. A hundred years later, some of their descendants in Tarrytown, NY were Tories during the American Revolution and subsequently moved to British Canada. Their surname evolved to ORSER, and the branch would later include an Olympic skater named Brian Orser. In the meantime, however, the name took time to evolve from the patronymic system.
  • Aert AERTSZEN....bapt. 29 Apr 1678 at the New York DRC, witnessed by "Evert Aerentsen, Marrije Hercks."
  • Jan AERTSZEN....bapt. 13 Sep 1680 at the New York DRC, witnessed by Barent GERRITSZEN (step grandfather) and Jannetje PHILIPS (an aunt)

One of their neighbors on Hoogh had been Jochem CALYER who died in 1658, leaving a widow Magdalena WAEL and five children. She remarried to Gysbert Teunison VAN BARENDT and moved with him to Bushwick. By the following year the family moved across the river to Brooklyn, a small settlement on the Long Island shore south of Greenpoint, where the Calyers and Grietje's family continued their association. Grietje became very feeble in her last years and died by April 1671. Barent, left with the children, remarried on 11 April 1671 to Marritje HENDRICKS.

VOLKERT DIRCKS bapt. 15 Nov 1643

  Volkert's baptism in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam was witnessed by step-grandfather Jan Jansen DAMEN, Philip GREAR, Maria PHILIPS and (boo-hiss!) uncle Cornelis VAN TIENHOVEN, whose title "Secretaris" appears in the record of the event. He was raised at Smit's Vly, and sometime after 1646 moved across the East River to their new farm house at Noorman's Kill. His family may not have settled there permanently until the mid-1650's, after the Indian wars subsided. In 1667 he contracted with his father to work 200 acres of this farm, in exchange for eventually receiving title to the land. Volkert married Annetje PHILLIPS about 1668. Her father was Phillip LANGELANS, who sailed from the Netherlands to New Amsterdam in 1659 on the ship "Faith" with his wife and two daughters. The other daughter was Marie, who married Grietje Dircks' son Jurian NAGEL. Jurian's aunt Annetje was thus also his sister-in-law, and Volkert's nephew was also his brother-in-law.

  When the Dutch recaptured New York from the English in 1673, Volkert became a magistrate of Bushwick under the short-lived Dutch authority. The English and Dutch concluded a treaty in 1674 that returned New York to English control. His name then appears on the 1675 and 1676 Assessment Rolls in Boswyck as Volkert Dierckse. In 1677 he was listed as a member of Dominie Van Zuuren's church, and in 1686 was commissioned lieutenant of militia [p. 147 of Cal. of Eng. Man.]. In the 1682 baptism of his daughter Lydia at the Flatbush DRC, his name was recorded as "Folkert Dircksen" and that of his wife was "Annitje Flippsen."

  Volkert appeared on the 1683 Rate List of Bushwyck as Volkert Dircksen (assessed taxes for 200 acres). On 10 Aug 1684 he witnessed the baptism of niece Lisbeth, daughter of Peter Schamp and Janetie Dirks of Bushwick, at the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush. On 21 Nov 1686 the NY DRC showed a baptism for: "Jacop. Joost Dulje, Madleen Delefeebre, parents [witnesses:] Folkert Dircksen, Elisabeth Lodowycks." He sold some of his land in 1685 to Peter PRAA, and shows up again on a land patent in 1687. In that same year he was listed on the roster at Bushwick when he took the mandatory oath of allegiance to England. On 9 Sep 1688 Volkert witnessed at the baptism of granddaughter Antie, daughter of Cornelius Cortelyou and Neltje Volkers, at Flatbush. He died before the Kings County census in 1698. Based on the participants and description of the 1689 land transaction between Volkert's brother Jacob and son Dirck, he may already have died by July 1689.

  Many of Volkert's children moved to New Jersey after his death. It is also likely that his wife Annetje went with them, as an undated (approx. 1710) map of the Harlingen tract in Somerset County, NJ, shows the adjoining properties of "Anna Volkerse, Claus Volkerse, Dirck Volkerse and D. Volkerse" [the last entry may be son Philip, with the initial P miscopied as a D, but the evidence is that Dirck owned two lots there].

See the New Jersey page for further information on Volkert's descendants

JACOB b. circa 1646

  It appears that Jacob was less successful than his siblings, as his property amounted to about a quarter of what each of the rest had. On the 'Assessment Roll of the Real and Personal Property in Boswyck, made up on the 19th August, 1675' (when he was about 29 years old), he was listed as:

  Dierckse, Jabecq: 1 poll, 1 horse, 1 ditto of 3 yrs, 1 cow, 1 sheep, 5 morgans of land...53. 10 pounds

  However, a year later he had doubled his land holdings, for on the 'Assessment Roll of Boswyck made up 23 Septemb. 1676' he was recorded as:

  Dierckse, Jabecq 1 poll 2 horses 1 do of 1 yr 2 sheep 10 morgans land 65 18

  Jacob's appearance on assessment rolls Boswyck in 1683 showed a possible reversal of fortune:

Dirckx, Jacob: 1 poll, 1 horse, 7 morgans of land 44.

  His name also showed up on a protest against the salary of Rev. Dominie POLHEMUS. The last record of him was in 1689 when he sold property to his brother's son Dirck:

"17th July, 1st year of William and Mary [1689], Jacob Dirckse by and with consent of Barent Flacxbeeck, Pieter Schaimpe, Jurian Nagel, Hendricus Defforeest, William Aertsen and William Huddleston conveys property in Bushwick to Dirck Folkert."

July 17 1st year of William and Mary, Purchased from Jacob Dirckse land at Bushwick, bounded East South and west by land of widow Folkert."

ARIANTJE b. 1 Aug 1650

Ariantje (Adriantje) was baptised at the New Amsterdam DRC on 21 Aug 1650. The witnesses included Jan VINGE, Claes CORSZEN, Lysbeth CREGIERS and Aefje VAN TIENHOVEN. She was probably named after her grandmother Adrienne Cuvelier ("Ariantje Cuvilje" in Dutch). In DRC records she is also listed as Marritie DIRCX or DIRKS. She m. Carel HUYSMAN (Charles HOUSEMAN) about 1675. They moved to New Jersey by 1680. Carel was listed at a DRC baptism in New York in 1703. They had five children. (There was another "Adriantje Dircks" in New Amsterdam, who m. Jan De Vries on 10 Dec 1679.)

• Magdalena HUYSMAN.......bapt. 21 Mar 1676 in New York, when her mother was listed in the church record as Marritie DIRCX. Magdalena m. Jan VAN DER VOORD (per DRC records, but also reported as VAN DER HORST)

JANNETJE (Jennekin, Janneken) bapt. 7 Dec 1653

Her baptism was witnessed by Abraham VERPLANCK, Pieter JANSZEN Noorman and Marritie ABRAHAMS. She m. Pierre (Peter) DES CHAMPS (1636-1694) on 7 Oct 1674. He was listed as 'Pieter Scamp of Bushwick, a soldier from Gendt' (Ghent, Belgium?) and she as 'Jannetje Dirks from Noortman's Kill.' [Early Settlers of Kings County, Long Island, NY, by Teunis Bergen, p. 248] They lived on the north side of Dirck Volckertszen 's property, on ten morgens (20 acres) he transferred to them on April 26, 1677. Dirck had previously given Jennekin an adjoining meadowland. When he took the 1687 loyalty oath, 'Pieter Schamp' of 'Boswijck' reported he had been in the New World for 15 years.

  Peter died by 1694. A SCHAMP family site by Robert Brian Stewart tells us that Jannetje "participated in the troubles of the times and was brought before the court on 9 January 1694 in Bushwick, Kings County, New York. Apparently, Rachel, the wife of John Luger, and the 'widow Jonica Schamp' of Bushwick were presented before the court of Sessions for having on 24 January previous assaulted Captain Peter Praa. (This Peter Praa was also the purchaser of her father's property?) In their assault, they tore him by the hair as he stood at the head of his company in Boswyck. They were heavily fined and released after making due confession of their fault. (Records of Court Sessions, in Old Road Book, City Hall of Brooklyn, p. 25)." On the 1698 census she was shown as a widow with six children. She did not appear on the 1706 property lists in Bushwick.

• Jannetje SCHAMP.......bapt. 27 Jul 1675
• Joost SCHAMP.......at times called "Justis," his given name was the Dutch version of "George." Joost was b. at Bushwick, Kings Co., New York, and bapt. on 23 Aug 1676 at the Dutch Reformed Church on Manhattan Island. He was taxed "one piece of eight" to pay for common fences in Bushwick on 6 November 1701. He married Margrietje LOCK, daughter of Claes Hendrickszen LOCK and Christyntje (?) HENDRICKS, about 1703. A 1706 entry listed him as "Joost CAMP" and indicated he had 40 acres at Bushwick. By 1713 he had owned and sold land near New Brunswick, NJ, to his sister Lisbeth and her husband Barent COOL. Moving to Franklin Township, Somerset County, NJ, he was listed in the local militia in 1715 as Sergeant George Schamp. He purchased 500 acres in Readington Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ, on 13 May 1728, "betwixt the North and South Branches of the Raritan River" from Daniel COXE of Trenton. His will was written on 28 May 1760 and proved on 14 Jun 1760 at Pleasant Run, Readington Twp. (Much of the information on Joost is from a SCHAMP/SCHOMP family site.)
  • George SCHAMP.......ca. 1704-. The New Jersey Calendar of Wills lists a George SCHAMP, of Reading Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ, with a will written 28 May 1760 and proved 14 Jun 1760. There was a later George SCHAMP, a saddler, who advertised his business at Pluckemin, NJ in 1771.

As "Styntie Schamp" she and her uncle Carel HUYSMAN were listed as witnesses at the DRC baptism of Charel, son of Jan VAN DER VOORD and Magdalena HUYSMAN on 12 Sep 1703.
