Mary Josephine, B THE ANCESTORS OF TWO SISTERS Records of the Ancestors of HELEN ROBINA CORTELYOU and CAROL VAN ZANDT CORTELYOU Press of BROWN PRINTING SERVICE LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 1954 PREFACE Many books have appeared through the years, showing descent from people of one surname in each case. Usually the number of de­ scendants increases rapidly with each generation and the percentage of the blood of any one strain tends to become microscopically small. As "Teddy" Roosevelt once stated with characteristic vigor, "It's like stirring a drop ·of champagne into a hogshead of water!" However that may he, the compiler conceived the idea of doing what has not been done he£ ore, at least as far as public print is concern­ ed. Rather than follow one line downward, how much more interesting to follow all lines backward when and as far as this can he done without too much difficulty and expense. Please note that the number of ancesters, or ancestral stations, will double with each move backward. But sometimes an ancestor will appear more than once in the same generation. 111 every case, the mother will always appear with double the number of the son or daugh­ ter, and the number of the father will be the mother's number less one. So, for instance, Charles Haines Manley, IV-5, has the parents, Charles l\ilanley, V-9, and Martha Felicia Haines, V-10. To work down toward the present, divide the mother's number by 2; the son's or daughter's number is IV-5. Or add 1 to the father's number then divide by 2. Please note that this hook was gotten together chiefly for the two granddaughters. It is not primarily for the general public. However, the compiler does think that the general public can have a lot of pleasure in working out lines as has been done here. With time and patience a large amount of interesting material can be gotten together. 5105 Underwood Avenue John V. Cortelyou Omaha 3, N ehraska Spring, 1954 THE TWO SISTERS 5 Chapter I THE TWO SISTERS More than twenty years ago a beginning had been made in assem­ bling data concerning the ancestors of the older of the two sisters.· Helen Robina Cortelyou was born on the west coast of Florida, at Tampa, on March 15, 1930. Somewhat later, the family moved to Wilkes Barre, Penn., then to_ Miami, where Helen's sister, Carol Van Zandt Cortelyou, was horn. Later a move was made to Washington, D. C., the father of the two girls having joined the navy. Later they moved to Omaha, then to Washington, where the father of the sisters served in the U. S. Navy again. With the ending of the war, the Cortelyous moved to Omaha once more. In due time the older sister entered Kansas State College, at Man­ hattan, Kansas. She was graduated in 1952, receiving the B. S. degree with high honors. She was elected to Phi Kappa Phi and to Mortar Board, honor societies. Earlier she had joined Kappa Kappa Gamma, a social sorority of which her mother and her three Cortelyou aunts are also members. The younger sister was born on the east cost of Florida, at Miami, on May 24, 1939. In due time the family moved to Omaha, where Carol is now attending Central High School, the "Omaha High School" from which her grandfather Cortelyou was graduated in 1893. Chapter I is very small, it must be admitted. But the book is still in its infancy, so of course Chapter I is short. THE PARENTS 7 Chapter II THE PARENTS 11-1. RUSHTON GARDNER CORTELYOU (son of John Van Zandt Cortelyou, 111-1) was born May 18, 1906, at Manhattan, Kansas, and married on June 2, 1939, at Manchester, New Hampshire, Margaret Helen Manley. Rushton Cortelyou was graduated from Manhattan (Kansas) High School in 1923, and from Kansas State College, at Manhattan, in 1927, with high honors and with the degree, B. S. in Civil Engineering. At K. S. C. he was elected to Phi Kappa Phi ( scholarship fraternity), So­ ciety of Civil Engineers, Mortar and Ball, and to Phi Delta Theta ( a social fraternity) • · He entered the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administra­ tion in the fall of 1927 and was graduated with the M. B. A. degree in the spring of 1929. He became assistant auditor at Maas Brothers department store, at Tampa, Florida, in 1929 and remained with them till December, 1935, when he became controller at Pomeroy's department store at Wilkes Barre, Pa. Later he became controller at Burdine's department store at Miami, Florida and remained with them till the fall of 1942. Rushton Cortelyou joined the U. S. Navy Reserve in the fall of 1942 with the rank of lieutenant. He was released to inactive duty on December 31, 1945, being at that time a lieutenant commander. On August 26, 1946, he became affiliated with the Fairmont Foods Company as economist, stationed at the main office in Omaha, Nebraska, and became assistant treasurer in 1947. On March 1, 1950, he became treasurer of Fairmont Foods Company. He and his family reside at 5109 Underwood Avenue, Omaha 3, Nebraska. II-2. MARGARET HELEN MANLEY ( daughter of Charles Henry Manley, 111-3) was horn June 12, 1906 at Junction City, Kansas, and married on June 2, 1929, at Manchester, N. H., Rushton Gardner Cortelyou. She was graduated from Junction City High School in 1924 and attended Kansas State College at Manhattan during the years 1924-'25 and 1925-'26. She joined the K. S. C. chapter of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and later became a member of P. E. 0. Children of Rushton Gardner and Margaret Helen (Manley) Cortelyou: Helen Robina, horn March 15, 1930, at Tampa, Fla.; and Carol Van Zandt, horn May 24, 1939, at Miami, Florida. THE GRANDPARENTS 9 Chapter III THE GRANDPARENTS 111-1. JOHN VAN ZANDT CORTELYOU (son of John Gardner Cortelyou, IV-1) was horn Sept. 19, 1874, at Harlingen, Somerset Co., N. J ., and was hapt. Jan. 30, 1875, by the pastor of the Harlingen Re­ formed Dutch Church. He married on August 24, 1904, at Fairmont, Nebraska, Grace Isabel Rushton. In the spring of 1884, in his tenth year, "Van Zandt" Cortelyou journeyed with his mother, his brothers and his sister from his birth­ place in New Jersey to their new home in Ewing, Holt County, Nebraska. His father had preceded them to that small frontier town. In the fall of 1890, the family moved to Omaha. John V. Cortelyou was graduated from Omaha High School (later known as Central High) in June, 1893. He entered the University of N ehraska in the fall of 1893 and was graduated in 1897 with the A. B. degree and with honors ( Phi Beta Kappa) . The next two years he taught in the Humboldt, Nebraska, high school. During the year 1898-'99 he was also superintendent of schools at Humboldt. In the summer of 1899, he bought the stock of the campus book­ store in Lincoln and starting with September he managed that store and also carried graduate work at the University. At the end of that college­ year, the University regents closed the book-store and that act left the manager of the store without an income hut with full time to carry on his studies. He was awarded the A. M. degree in June, 1901. On June 22, he took passage on a Hamburg-American steamer from Brooklyn to Hamburg, Germany, and then spent a month walking up the Rhine from Bonne with two young men from Philadelphia, who had been fellow-passengers on the Bulgaria. In the fall of 1901, he enrolled at the University of Heidelberg. He carried English philology as his major subject and Romance philology and Germanic philology as his minors. After three years of study there, he was awarded the Ph.D. degree with high honors (magna cum laude). His extended thesis, a hook of 126 pages, entitled "Die altenglischen N amen der Insekten, Spinnen- und Krustentiere," was published in Heid­ elberg, Germany, in 1906. The title would read in English: "The Anglo­ Saxon Names of the Insects, Spiders and Crustacea." Before leaving Heidelberg, John V. Cortelyou was elected head of the newly-formed Department of German at Kansas State College at Manhattan, Kansas. In 1916 the department was enlarged to embrace also French and Spanish, and was then called the Department of Modern Languages. 10 THE GRANDPARENTS With the coming of Henry J. Waters as the new president of Kansas . State College in 1909, Mr. Cortelyou was appointed editor of the college catalogue. He got out the 1909 catalogue and all later catalogues till he left the College in the spring of 1934. In 1922, he was elected secretary of the "K. S. A. C. Stadium Corporation," and the job of collecting funds and paying bills was his until he left in 1934, at which time there were no outstanding bills in connection with the building of the stadium. These two extra lines of work, catalogue and stadium, were in addition to a full teaching load. In the spring of 1934, J. V. Cortelyou's thirtieth year of service with the college was drawing to a close, and he had an important deci­ sion to make. He liked his work at the college, even though more and more extra work seemed to be heaped on his shoulders as the years passed. But he had long ago planned to prepare and publish a genealogy of the Cortelyou family and if that was to be done, the summer of 1934 seemed the time to get started in earnest.

Ruloff De Kype [5] was born in 1510 in Alencon, Bretagne, France. General Notes: Ruloff De Kype was a warm adherent of the Guises, and took a prominent part in the Civil War between the Catholics and the Protestants. On the triumph of the Protestants, which occurred soon after the general massacre of the inhabitants of Vassey in Champagne, in 1562, his Chateau was burned and he fled from his home at Alancon in Bretagne to Holland with his three sons, where they lived for several years under an assumed name. In 1569, with his son Henri, he returned to France, joined the army of the Duke of Anjou, and on the 13th of March 1569 fell in the battle fought on the banks of La Charante, near Jarnac. By the care of his son, Jean Baptiste, who was a priest, he was buried in a small Church near Jarnac. The Church and grave marker were destroyed during the French Revolution.

  • Chapter 1. Beginnings, 1664–1691
    Chapter 1. Beginnings, 1664–1691 ’Tis not with us as in our Fatherland, or as in Kingdoms and Re- publics which are established and settled by long and well expe- rienced laws and fundamentals, best agreeing with the condition of the people. But in our little body, made up of divers members, namely, folks of different nations, many things occur in the laying of a foundation for which there are no rules nor examples.1 The legal history of the British colony of New York may be said to have begun on August 26 1664, when Colonel Richard Nicolls anchored his little flotilla in Gravesend Bay and demanded from Peter Stuyvesant the surrender of New Amsterdam. Nicolls’ bloodless conquest confirmed the grant made by Charles II; James Stuart, Duke of York, could now attempt to dictate the terms of occu- pation and government in the rich domain to be called New York. In a larger sense, however, the legal history of New York began fifty years before. Many of the external determinants of the legal order, including the geographic, strategic, and economic constraints on occupation of the territory, were already expressed in the organization of the Dutch colony of New Nether- land. In conquering a province with an existing administrative system, more- over, the agents of the new proprietor had not the luxury of unrestrained cre- ation; the ways, means, and expectations of the population needed to be taken into account, if only to prevent the kind of social unrest that would require prohibitively expensive measures to garrison the Duke’s new possession.

JOHANGUERGH KLOCK (HENDRICK ) was born 1714 in Canajoharie, Montgomery County, New York, and died 1789 in St. Johnsville, Montgomery County New York.

She was born 1714 in Stone Arabia, Montgomery County, New York, and died Bef. 1807 in St. Johnsville, Montgomery County New York. Notes for JOHANGUERGH KLOCK: Old George was born in 1714 and died in 1789 or 1790 Also known Johan Guergh ( Old George ) Notes from the SOK Genealogy: George Klock Sr, lived near the banks of Crum Creek on the flats of the Mohawk on the north side of the river and but a short distance away from the upper Canajoharie Castle of the Mohawk, which was then located where the present Indian Castle now is. The activities of this man would fill a volumn of interesting reading. Little has been said of him but what was defamatory. Probably no man in the Mohawk valley achieved greater notoriety that he in his quarrel with his arch enemy Sir William Johnson, when the vituperations of the latter was heaped upon him when that gentleman sought to wrest the land from him and acquire it for himself. George Klock has left no written pages to tell his side of the story but in the "Sir William Johnson Papers", and Colonial Documents, one can find the reason and result of this battle for land between the two.

    ROBERT LIVINGSTON (1654 - 1725) The 20th Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans, Vol.6, p.458 Robert Livingston, the first lord of the manor, was born at Ancrum, Roxburghshire, Scotland, Dec. 13, 1654; son of Dr. John Livingston (1608-1672), a Presbyterian minister, who was banished from Scotland in 1663, on account of his nonconformist views, and went to Holland soon after the restoration of Charles II. Robert accompanied his father in his flight to Rotterdam, and immigrated to America in 1673, and after spending part of a year in Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay colony, removed to Albany, N.Y. In Albany, Robert was secretary of the commissaries who superintended the affairs of Albany, Schenectady, and the parts adjacent, 1675-86. He was married in 1683 to Alida, daughter of Philip Pietersen Schuyler, and widow of Nicholas Van Rensselaer. In 1686 he received from Governor Thomas Dougan a grant of land comprising large parts of what was subsequently set off as Dutchess county, and the grant was confirmed by royal charter from George I., who erected the manor and lordship of Livingston. Robert Livingston was appointed to proceed to New York with his brother-in-law, Peter Schuyler, to obtain a charter for the manor from Governor Dougan, under which charter he was town clerk, 1686-1721. In 1689 he attached himself to the anti-Leisler faction. He was secretary of the convention held at Albany, Oct. 25, 1689, which, while it acknowledged the sovereignty of William and Mary, opposed Leisler's proceedings. When Richard Petty, sheriff of Albany, reported to Leisler that Livingston favored the Prince of Orange, Leisler ordered Livingston's arrest, and the latter retired to one of the neighboring provinces until the arrival of Sloughter, in March, 1691.
