Reyer Michielsen van Kortryk

Reyer Michielszen Van Kortryk (son of Michiel Bastiansen Van Kortryk and unknown) was born 1654 in Schoonrewooerd, Holland, and died date unknown. He married Jacomyntje Tibout Michielszen on April 15, 1686 in New Harlem, NY.

Reyer Michielsen, eldest son of Michiel Bastiaensen, was b.

at Schoonrewoerd, Holland, in 1653, coming in 1663 with his

parents; he m. April 15, 1686, Jacomyntje, dau. of Jan

Tibout, settling at Fordham, where he took part in building the

church, of which he was an active member.

"A mortgage given by John Archer to Cornells Steenwyck, of New

York, in 1676, gave him full title and possession of the Manor of Ford-

ham, which passed under his will and by certain deeds, to the Dutch

church of New York. In getting possession, the church met with great

opposition from the town of Westchester. This led in 1688 to a forcible

entry by the officers and friends of the church. Elijah Barton, engaged

with his father, Roger Barton, to keep possession for and in behalf

of the town of Westchester, when on July 16th, in the afternoon, there

came a great company of men with Nicholas Bayard, of New York, de-

manding admittance.

This being refused, Reyer Michiels and Teunis De Key, at Bayard's

word, broke open the door and the Bartons were ousted and roughly

handled.

With Bayard were also Nicholas Stuyvesant, Johannes Kip, Isaac

Van Vleeck, Michiel Bastiaens and his wife, and sons Bastiaen, Reyer,

Michiel, Hendrick Kiersen, and Jacques Tourneur. Also, "in the ex-

ploy t" was Hannah (or Anna) Odell.

The Westchester authorities issued a warrant July 20th, "to take

the bodies of the said Reyer Michiels, with the said complycetors", but

the church maintained its hold and the lands were ultimately sold.

Reyer Michielsen died in 1733, having had children, Michiel, Reyer,

Hendrick, Teunis, Hannah, Mary, Sarah, Jane, Jacomyntie, Johannes,

some of whom being called Michiels and others Reyers.
