   Listed as the first issue of Laurens Cornelissen [Kortright] by his second wife, “13. Aaron, … married about 1733, had three children. He married second, Margaret, daughter of John Delamater, 1762, had six children”.

   From page 567:
   “Aaron (13) had purchased, March 15, 1742, the Delamater farm on Montanye's Flat, and accompanying lands. The latter embraced all Isaac Delamater's draft lots of 1712, and Aeltie Vermilye's, of 1691 and 1712, except No. 20, 1st Division (see Appendix J). We believe two acres of No. 5, Van Keulen's Hook, were also included. Of these Aaron sold No. 10, 1st Division, to Adolph Myer, in 1751; part of the large Molenaor tract. He sold No. 5, of 1691, to Jonathan Odell, May 11, 1753, since of Jacob Schieffelin; and No. 6, 2d Division, to John Kiersen. He recovered, by purchase from Peter Waldron, the lower half of the Delamater farm, which together now embraced 12 acres east of the Lane, on which were the buildings, and west of the Lane, 40 acres on the Flat, and 19 1-3 acres (in it part of No. 8, 1st Division) on the heights. In 1762 and 1765 Aaron gave liens on some of the lands bought of Delamater to his nephew Lawrence Kortright, of New York, merchant, and finally the two made an exchange, April 28, 1772, Lawrence taking the farm and some woodlands, and giving Aaron and his wife a deed for 241 acres of the Wawayanda patent, in Orange County,—to go after their death to their sons, Lawrence, John, and Aaron Kortright,—whither they removed, and where their descendants are still found.”
