    Cornelis Hendricksen, bap. in N. Y., Nov. 3, 1680, b. at Mombaccus, Ulster County, N. Y., m. Dec. 26, 1701, Christina Roosekrans.

    He was a farmer in Ulster County, and moved to Marbletown, where most of his children were born, who were, Hendrick, Magdalena, Catrina, Johannes, Sara, Cornelis and Benjamin.

    p. 51:
    CORNELIS HENDRICKSEN CORTRIGHT, third child of Hendrick, was baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church at New York, the record being, "Cornelis, son of Hendrick Janszen and Catharyn Hans, baptized Nov. 3d, 1680, the sponsors being Jacob Janszen (Decker), Belitie Jans, and Reher Michielszen." His marriage is thus recorded in the Dutch Church, at Kingston, "Cornelis Hendricksen, j. m., born in Mombackes, and Christina Roosekrans, born in Kingstouwn, and both residing in Mombackes, married December 26, 1701."

    For several years he lived at Rochester, where with his brothers, he was a prominent man, but later in life removed to Marbletown, not far from Rochester, where several of his children were born, and after living there several years, he probably removed to the Minisink district, in Monroe County, Penn., as his wife joined the church there, known as the Smithfield church, June 23, 1745, "upon the representation of satisfactory certificates, in the presence of Niclas Du Pay, elder of the church." He and his wife witnessed the baptism of a grand-child in 1736, so probably he was living in Monroe Co., Pa., at the time, which was then included in Northampton County.

    His name was written in the church records variously as, Cortregt, Cortrecht, Cortreght, etc., and sometimes with a K.

    The records of Kingston show his children were, Hendrick, Magdalena, Catrina, Johannes, Sara, Cornelis, and Benjamin, all of whom came to the Minisink district, except the latter two, who remained in Ulster County.
