Notes

LAMBERT HUYBERTSE1 married HENDRICKJE CORNELISSE while in the Netherlands and before his emigration to America, In 1689 the Progenitor Lambert Huybertse gave a total of about 324 acres of land at Hurley to his oldest son Huybert Lambertsen, who was about 34, ond to the youngest son Pieter, who was but 19 years old at that time. The other son to whom Lambert gave property was Cornelius "part of the home farm" in Hurley—which Cornelius' son Egbert eventually inherited. Lambert had probably also financially supported Cornelius in purchasing property in Saugerties (in 1688).

It is supposed that Pieter sold out his share to Huybert and left to buy property on the New Jersey side of the Delaware. But in any case, for some reason Son Pieter was lured to the vast fertile land available on the Jersey Flats along the Delaware River,where he probably had visited when dreaming of farms of his own choosing—would he have made that choice if he had any premonition of the tragic end of his life there (and also of his grandchildren)? Pieter, and Huybert's sons Roelof and Thomas, along with Nicholas Schoonhoven, brother of Thomas' wife Fransyntjen Schoonhoven, were the first Brinks to explore that country and eventually settle along the Delaware in New Jersey.

it is assumed that Huybert's sons Roelof and Thomas were 31 and 30 years old at Huybert's death in about 1714 or 1715; Roelof was born in 1684 and Thomas was born in 1685. By 1720, Pieter had ten children and was lured to this land that was 100 miles south. He and Anthony Westbrook bought a large tract of land at Millville in Montague where Pieter settled and continued to raise his family there. His oldest son, Matthew inherited the land, then it went to his grandson, Samuel, and eventually part of it was sold to Capt. Abram Shimer, where it is still known as the Shimer property.

The following is a translation of the will of Lambert Huybertse (Brink), of Hurley, the ancestor of the Brink family in America, who came from the Netherlands in 1659 and was one of the earliest settlers of 'Hurley, Ulster county, New York. He settled on the farm on the west side of the Esopus creek still in possession of a descendant bearing the family name. The will is recorded in the office of the county clerk of Ulster county and is translated from the original Dutch.
