About Joris Martinse Ryerson, Sr.
baptism record
1666 Sep 19; Marten Reyertszen, Annetje Joris Rapelye; Joris; Michiel Hanszen, Catalina Jeronymus
Notes for Joris Martenszen Ryerson: Joris lived in the Wallabout, near his future wife, but he soon after moved to New York city where he owned a farm next to the present day Trinity church. This farm was later known as the Dey Farm (number 6), and the present street with this name of Dey ran right through this area. In 1708 he moved to New Jersey where he owned 55 acres * (14 partners in the ]Governor John Charles Reading, III
Acquackanonk Patent (Passaic, Clifton, Paterson) in the Northern part of the state). In 1715 Joris was a prominent man in the affairs of his township in New Jersey. In 1716 he was appointed as the county Judge of Bergen county, New Jersey. Also in 1716 we find him as a Deacon of the Hackensack Dutch Reformed church. By his first wife he had many children, and one of his daughters Maretye married Governor John Reading. former Twin Towers areaAccording to Cathleen Shine in her book The Holy Ground, old Dey St. is part of the former WTC site.

' The northern border was Vesey Street. South of Vesey, the trade center had been built over Fulton, Dey, and Cortlandt Streets. The southern border was Liberty Street. Church Street ran along the eastern edge. To the west, the site covered Greenwich and Washington Streets and ended at West Street. '
The reason it might seem a little out of place on the map referenced above, is because the tip of Manhattan is now a greater expanse due to land reclamation from the rivers.
Will
Joris's will was dated 21 July, 1744, and was proved on 04 April, 1749. In his will he mentioned owning land in Wayne Township, New Jersey, and also in Pompton Plains, and Falls. He also owned land in Pequannock, and in 1710 he was living on his farm in Mountain View, New Jersey. He was listed in Bergen county records as being a Captain of a foot company in Saddle River under John Johnston on 17 August, 1715. On 01 Dec., 1739 he was again appointed as County Judge in Bergen. Some of Joris's (ancestors)* were Loyalists, and they fled to Nova Scotia after the outbreak of war. On his marriage bans he was listed as from the Walebocht.
{ed note: the 55 acres * in New Jersey almost assuredly refers to (more correctly) (part of the five thousand five hundred ) acres bought by 8 men in 1695 (see Ryesron family genealogy pp 13-18)}

Second Account
"JORIS RYERSON (translated George Ryerson),^ {Martin^), the eldest son of Marten and Annetje (Rapelje) Ryerson was bap. in Brooklyn on Sept. 19, 1666: d. 1749. The sponsors at his bap. were Michael Hanzen and Catalina Jeronymus. He was evidently named in honor of his grandfather, Joris Jansen de Rapelje. Up to the time of his marriage (about twenty-four years of age), he resided in Breucklen (Brooklyn) at the Wallabout, no doubt at the home of his father. He then removed to Manhattan Island, now New York City, where he engaged in farming, first on a farm leased from Trinity Church, then on the Dey farm, and where he resided for some years, subsequently selling out in 1708 and removing to New Jersey, which was then a wilderness. Here, in company with Capt. Arent Schuyler and six others, he purchased from the Indians 5500 acres in N. E. New Jersey, upon which land he settled. He married on June 26, 1690, Hannah (or Anneken) (Schouten) Dey, widow of Teunis Dey, and daughter of Johannes Schouten. She was born Mar. 17, 1666, and died May 17, 1743. Her first husband whom she married on Feb. 4, 1685, died in 1688, leaving three small children, besides a five acre farm running from Broadway to the water's edge in New York, which the present Dey St. divided in the middle. The three small Dey children were reared by George (Joris) Ryerson with his own family, and one of the daughters, Jane Dey, married a younger brother of her step-father, namely Frans Ryerson. Her brother Derick (Richard) Dey became the father of Col. Theunis Dey, who distinguished himself in the Revolution as an officer in the Army and member of the Continental Congress. Joris (George) Ryerson was a prominent man in the community and as early as 1715 was one of "His Majesty's Judges" for Bergen County.
After the death of his first wife, Hannah (Dey née Schouten) Ryerson, Joris married his second wife in his old age: Hannah, or Susannah, widow of Abraham King, of Second River. Her maiden name was Susannah De Forest. Many old documents teeming with historic interest still exist concerning Mr. Ryerson's activity in colonial times of which the author has copies, but are too voluminous for other than mere mention in this genealogy.
Joris Ryerson was the father of ten children, and the step father of seven, three of the latter being his first wife's children, and four by his second wife's previous marriage.
