    VANDER GRIFT, Paulus Leenderzen Was one of the leading men in New Amsterdam; as a burgomaster he was in high favor with the authorities. In the "Representation of New Netherland,' written in 1649, the following caustic comment was made regarding him: "Though Paulus L. Lenaertssen has small wages, he has built a better dwelling-house here than anybody else. How this has happened is mysterious to us." For the voluntary assessment to repair defences in 1654, Vander Grift subscribed 60 fl., and in 1664 he loaned the city 2000 fl. for the same purpose. In 1670, after the English occupation, Vander Grift returned to Holland.

  5. ↑ Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild [3].

    On Christmas day 1646 a fleet of four ships sailed from Texel, the seaport of Amsterdam, for New Netherland, carrying the new Director-General, Peter Stuyvesant, and his new vice-director, schout-fiscal, and commisary. The ships were the Great Gerrit, the Princess, the Zwol, and the Raet, with Stuyvesant and his wife Judith passengers on the Groote Gerrit . Paulus Leendertsen van der Grift was captain of the Great Gerrit. They sailed first to Curacao, and did not arrive in New Amsterdam until 11 May 1647.

  6.   Family notes per ???.

    When Paulus and Janneken returned to Holland in 1671, their daughter Grietie was 22, Marritie was 18, son Gerrit was 20, and Johannes was 13. The two daughters married around 1671 and both remained in New York. If the sons went back to Holland with their parents, they evidently later returned to New York, as Gerrit was present as a witness at the baptism of Grietie’s daughter Margariet on 6 Oct 1681, and Johannes was a witness at the baptism of Grietie’s daughter Cornelia on 24 Jun 1685.
