A WYNKOOP FAMILY BIBLE RECORD as published by "The Olde Ulster Genealogical Magazine" 1905
Miss Sarah B. Reynolds, of the City of Kingston, has courteously permitted Olde ULSTER to publish the following family record in the Dutch Bible of an ancestor Cornelius Wynkoop; which translated from the Dutch is as follows:
" I, Cornelius Wynkoop, born in the year of our Lord and blessed Jesus Christ one thousand, six hundred and eighty-eight, the thirtieth day of May in Kingston, Ulster county.
" At the age of 18 or 19 years had I the inclination to go and see other lands over the sea. So that I, the 28th day of May, 1708, went out of my father's house to intend to go to Karson, and on the 31st came to NewYork.

The 26th, ditto, we came to San Domingo, a Spanish city on the island of Hispaniola. The 18th of August sailed out from San Domingo and passed the island Saboona Moona, in Porto Rico, and came the 21st to St.Thomas. In the 16th of September sailed from there with the Bermuda skipper named Joseph Faester and arrived October 4th again in New York. And on the 11th ditto I am again in Esopus by my parents and friends.
