Notes for Cornelis Hendrickse VAN NES
Cornelis probably came with Andries de Vos to Rensselaersyck about 1640 or 1641. In April 1649 made preparations to leave the colony, but for some reason stayed and on Aug 15 1650, he leased for 8 years at 225 florins per year a farm at Greenbush, formerly occupied by Cornelis van Vechten. This farm contained 9 morgens of land and he had 3 horses. He served as Councilor Of Rensselaersyck 1652-8 and again 1661 and 1663 at an annual salary of 50 florins.
On May 23, 1659 he was granted a patent of 50 morgens at Amersfoort (Flatlands) Long Island where in 1664 his daughter Grietie and her husband lived. On March 21, 1664 at the occasion of his second marriage, he made an agreement with the children by his first wife to turn over to them certain property in satisfaction of their share in their mother's estate.
On June 16, 1664, he was granted a patent of 21 morgens of land in Schnectady. He and his second wife are listed as owners of Lot No. 7, north side of State St., Albany 1668-79.
His daughter, Geeritje’s marriage to Roelof Van Houten is recorded with the phrase from a record in 4 March 1649, “in the first part of the year 1643, as the wedding guests were going over the ice to the wedding of the daughters of van Es.”
