    JOHANNES CORTRIGHT, son of Cornelis Hendricksen and Christina (Roosekrans) Cortright, was born at Marbletown, Ulster County N. Y., bap. at Kingston, Aug. 15, 1714, and m. Margriet Dennemarken, Jan. 24, 1735. He removed to the Minisink, first settling in the "lower neighborhood" of this district, located in Sussex County, N. J., where in 1731 Johannes Westbrook deeded to him and others, a tract of land for a burying ground and a school, the first record of him there.

    His brother, Hendrick, also lived there at the time, and both were pioneer settlers in this new country, with other Hollanders who emigrated from Kingston, Marbletown, Hurley, Rochester and other places in Ulster County early in the eighteenth century.

    With his family, he removed to Northampton County (now Monroe), Pa. about 1744, across the Delaware River, where he purchased a farm, located in Lower Smithfield Township, his future home.

    In 1772, he was assessed there a proprietary tax of four pounds, his son John, Jr., twelve shillings, Christopher, one pound, six shillings and eight pence, and Elisha the same amount.

    Johannes and Margriet (Dennemarken) Courtright had issue:

    John, bap. Nov. 1, 1738, m. Maria Van Vliet.
    Christopher, bap. June 17, 1740, m. Martha Miller.
    Samuel, bap. July 5, 1742.
