Cornelius Janse Vanderveer

In his article on the Vanderveers, Mr. Lester Dunbar Mapes [Genealogies of Long Island Families (Hoff), II:636–hereafter GLIF], refers to the will of Jan Vanderveer, dated 7 October 1776, proved 8 April 1782, and the mention of his daughter, Femmetje, baptized 10 April 1737, Flatbush, "wife of Guiliam Cornell." This abstract mentions no grandchildren and Mr. Mapes does not further identify this Guiliam Cornell. However, from Pelletreau [Fams of Hist Lineage], we have a birth date for Femmetje Vanderveer of 4 April 1737 and a death date of 26 February 1808. Pelletreau further states that she married (1) William Wyckoff and (2) Gilliam Cornell. The Alice Meigs Collection of the Jamaica Public Library provides the baptismal record of one child born to Gilliam Cornell and Femmetje Vanderveer: Margarietje Cornell, baptized 20 August 1769 at the Newtown Reformed Dutch Church, Queens, Long Island, named for her grandmother Margarietje Strycker.

This list, begun at 23:93, is continued at 24:19 with the explanation that the list is "actually a group pf signatures (many of them not holograph, however) to the declaration below, which it does indeed follow in the original record book." Those signing the declaration were 1-Acknowledging Dom. G. Haeghoort as their legal regular pastor and teacher, according to the constitution of the Low Dutch Reformed Church. 2- That they will display and conduct themselves willingly in all respects as members of the Reformed Low Dutch congregation at Friholt and Middletown under the supervision of their pastor Do. Haeghoort. 3- That they will contribute freely from time to time according to their means, whatever is needed to carry on the church and services. In effect, those signing the declaration could be described as Members of the Low Dutch Reformed Congregations of Freehold and Middletown. The first couple of dozen or so names appear at 23:93, 94, as "Church Members," and then are repeated at 24:20 with the above clarification..
