    He was age 22 when he arrived in New Amsterdam on de Bonte Koe in 1660. He was a member and deacon of the Ref. Ch. in Flatlands in 1677 and captain of the militia in 1689, and representative of Flatlands in the Assembly held at city hall in New Amsterdam 10 April 1664.

    He took the oath of allegiance in September 1687 as Coert Stevense van Voorhuys, having been in the country 27 years. On 8 Mar 1691 he purchased the real estate of John Tilton in Gravesend and conveyed this property to his son Albert on 20 June 1694. Kings Co. Conveyances II pg. 134 lists deed to land in Flatlands. ["Documentary History of New York," Vol. 1, pg. 660.]

    In the will of his brother-in-law, John Kiersen, dated 1705, he is listed as Coert "Stevensen." He sometimes signs his name as Coert Stevensen van Ruinen. ["New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," Vol. 54, pg. 250, 304, 247, 308, 309.]
