Bastiaen Michielsen, always so styled in the town books though in the church records usually called Bastiaen Kortright, came in 1663, with his parents, who lived at Harlem, afterward at Fordham. He was born at Schoonrewoerd in 1662, the second son of Michiel Bastiaensen, and did not remove to Fordham as did the others, but re-mained at Harlem, where on March 28th, 1689, he married Jolante, daughter of John and Maria (Vermilye) La Montagne.

On Sept. 19th, 1701, he bought from Peter Van Oblinus a tract of land at Sherman's Creek, laid out in 1691, as lot No. 20.

This became the well-known Kortright farm, which continued in the family till 1786, consisting of forty-five acres and twenty perches.

Here Bastiaen Michielsen Kortright built and lived till very aged, at least his name in the tax list runs down to 1753. He also was the owner of two pieces of meadow at Kingbridge, the town giving him a deed Jan.

4th, 1700.

His children were Michael, Johannes, Aefie and Rachel.

at Harlem in 1665, and m. June 17, 1683, Jacques Tour-

neur, son of Daniel and Jacqueline Tourneur. They resided at

Fordham.

Jan and Michiel emigrated to New Amsterdam with their respective wives and children on the "De Bonte Koe" boat in April 1663. ~• the son Bastien was a small child when he emigrated with his parents
