In 1647, the governor and director-generalship of New Netherlands was replaced with Peter Stuyvesant. That same year there emigrated to New Netherlands, Claes Jansen Van Permerend. His name states where he was from, Permerend, a town near the Zuyder Zee, between Amsterdam and Hoorn.1

Claes Jansen Van Purmerendt
Schepen, wheelwright (abt. 1626 - 1688)

Born in 1619 at Purmerendt, North Holland, Netherlands, the son of Jan Kuyper and Tryntje , emigrated to New Netherlands on 25 April 1659, with his wife, a nursing child and servant, on the ship ‘der Bever,’ captained by Jan Reyersz Ban der Beets.2

Purmerend (also spelled Purmerent, Permerend, and Purmerendt) first appears in the New Netherlands when he purchased a tract of land along the Hudson River called Pembrepock, on 20 August 1655. This land was sold three years later.

Some researchers have him first at Brooklyn, where he married Pieterje Cornelise Brackhoengie Cool, but this is not correct. Purmerend

married

Annatje (Anneken) Van Voorst, the daughter of Cornelius Van Voorst and Vrouwtje Ides, who were the first white settlers in the future state of New Jersey.

===marriage=== The couple’s intention for marriage (or banns) was published on 11 November 1656,“Claes Jansen Van Purmesant en Anneken Cornelis Van Voorst,” at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City. 3

It is believed that the Claes Jansen from Purmerend, listed as a wheelwright with wife, servant and child, is probably one in the same. He traveled back to the Netherlands upon the ship ‘Beaver’ on 25 April 1659. It isn’t known how long he stayed in his homeland, but probably a couple of years.

Van Purmerend surfaces again on 31 January 1662, when he obtained a patent (track of land) granted by the Director-General Petrus Stuyvesant, near the town of Ahrsimus (Horsimus or Ahasymus, now part of Jersey City),4 where he settled and stayed.

burial

his burial was on 30 November 1688, and he was buried in the Bergen Dutch Reform Church cemetery, Bergen, Hudson County, New Jersey.

He was elected as a schepen for Ahrsimus in the Bergen Court, 31 August 1674. He was also appointed surveyor of highways in 1682, and elected to the General Assembly of New Jersey in the same year.

The name of Kuyper refers to his occupation as a cooper-smith/wheelwright, of which Cooper is an Anglicized form of Kuyper, which name he was known by in his later years. His descendants can be found using both forms of the name.

On 10 April 1671, he bought from Governor Carteret, 240 acres on the Hudson River with property in the present town of Nyack, New York. Also in 1671, he bought 400 acres just north of his first purchase and in 1678, he added more acreage, with a total of 468 acres. Portions of this estate were owned in conjunction with the Tallmans.

death

He died intestate in November 1688, and his wife Annaetje (Van Vorst, also known as Stoffels, after her step-father) Kuyper is listed having died in the Bergen Church records on 12 July 1725, and buried on 14 July. Their weather beaten tombstones can be found in the cemetery of the Old Bergen Church.

Claes Jansen and Annaetje (Van Vorst) Van Permerend Kuyper had eleven children (first ten children baptized at New York, last two at Bergen, New Jersey):

" 'This day, date underwritten, before me Cornelis Van Tienhoven, secretary, in the presence of the undersigned witnesses, appeared Wolphert Gerritsen and Gerrit Wolphertsen, as guardians of Lambert Cornelissen Cool, and at the request of said Lambert Cool, have permitted him to go with his cattle to his brother-in-law Claes Jansen, in order to take up together some plantation or farm, and we the principals in the capacity aforesaid have consented hereto as we are bound in the place of father and mother to promote the above named Lambert Cool's interest and we cannot perceive that he will earn anything, much less prosper so long as he remains with his father, Cornelis Lambertsen. We have therefore considered it advisable to permit him to do something for himself in company aforesaid. Done at Fort Amsterdam the 22 of August 1639.
