Huybert Gerretse Blauvelt

baptism

1657 May 13; Gerrit Hendrickszen, Marritie Lamberts; Huybert; Albert Leendertszen, Tryntie Simons, Neeltie Jans

He was one of the Tappan patentees, and, since he was one of those who made the journey into the wilderness to negotiate with the Indians and also to Elizabeth for the interview with Governor Carterett, it would appear that he was one of the moving spirits in the project. He was one of the first to take up residence on the patent, and it would appear that he settled south of the present village of Tappan, and over the line in what is now New Jersey. He took the Oath of Allegiance in 1687. Just when he died, we do not know. His last child was born in 1690, and when the patent lands were divided in 1704 his portion was conveyed to his surviving children, thus signifying he had died prior to that time."
