PREFACE.
_________
This compilation is printed and circulated to awaken interest in the subject, and secure materials for a more thorough genealogy. Some members of the family have shown indifference; others were unknown, or inaccessible; and, in consequence, a large part of this pamphlet is a mere record of names. Conjecture or doubtful authority were necessarily resorted to in some instances. Conscientious care has been bestowed to avoid errors, and to give due mention of each individual.
No blot upon the family name has been discovered; and of the many individuals here recorded, only one or two have caused regret that relationship must be acknowledged.
The Compiler solicits additional information, and the correction of errors. Communications may be addressed to him at No. 119 Broadway, New York.
Copies of records in family Bibles are especially desired. Dates and places of births, of baptisms, of marriages, and of deaths - places of residence, occupations, names of parents and children, maiden names of mothers and wives - would be useful. Facts of trifling interest in themselves might be valuable for the purpose of establishing identity. Extended information as to ancestors and collateral relatives might serve to corroborate statements herein contained, which rest at present upon doubted authority.

_______
The name seems to signify "wine-buyer"--that is, wine-merchant.
A different meaning is given by Mr. Munsell, who says that it signifies "Something to drink upon the bargain." (Annals of Albany, iii.; 60.) But this appears to be mistaken etymology.
The motto of the family, preserved upon some of its old plate, is, "Virtutem Hilaritate Colere,"--to adorn excellence with joyousness. Good principles with geniality seem to be preferred to somber correctness.
The family name is borne by a bay on the southerly coast of Java, near the westerly end of the island. This seems to be a memento of a Merchant or of a navigator.
In the United States of America, the name is found in 1642, when Peter Wynkoop settled at Rensselaerwyck, now Albany. He was then "Commissary Superintendent of Wares and Merchandise" for the Patroon Van Rensselaer (A. of A., i., 22; Hist. N. Neth., i., 440.)
In 1644, Peter Wynkoop was Supercargo of the vessel Arms of Rensselaerwyck, and arrived with her at Manhattan, she having been dispatched the previous autumn by the Patroon, to his colony. Kieft, the Governor, demanded from him, shoes for the soldiers, who were then engaged in a war with the Indians of the neighborhood of Hempstead, Long Island. Wynkoop refused to supply them; Kieft seized the shoes and ordered the vessel to be searched; and, finding powder and guns, which were not on the manifest, he declared them contraband, and confiscated the vessel and cargo. Wynkoop protested. He also sued the Fiscaal at Fort Amsterdam. The vessel and cargo, were released however, by agreement, and the case was referred for settlement to the Directors in Holland. The vessel soon after sailed.
6
(Hist. N. Y. Brod., i., 390; H. N. N., i, 339; A. of A., i., 196-199; iv., 56.) It does not appear whether Wynkoop returned with the vessel, or remained in this country.
In the same year Peter Wynkoop was commissioned by the Patroon to purchase from the natives land about Catskill; and in connection with the Commissary General, Arendt Van Curler, to recover lands, etc., which had been purchased, and misappropriated by a former agent, Adrian Van der Donck. (H. N. N., i., 339.)
The foregoing statements seem to apply to but one person. It has been impossible to trace him further.
SECOND GENERATION.
Cornelius Wynkoop, in 1671, was Elder of a Dutch Church at Esopus over which Hermanus Blom had labored as Pastor.
On the 25th of April, 1663, he received a grant of twelve morgens of land at Esopus, Ulster county,. (H. N. N., ii., 592.) The morgen seems to have been equivalent to a little more than two acres. This land is said to have been at New Dorp, now Hurley.
He removed from Albany to Hurley in 1664. The same year he hired some land of Albert Gysbert, for the price of a pair of horses - 400 guilders.
His wife was Marritje Jans. The baptismal records of some of their children have been found at Kingston. She is said to be the "Orphan Daughter," whose name is recorded in a list of immigrants from Holland, who arrived in the Gilded Beaver, March 1660. (Doc. Hist. N. Y., iii., 56.) Marritje Jansen, maiden, arrived on the Love, in the same month. (Same authority.) The names Marritje, Maria, and Mary, are said to be the same.. (A. of A., iii., 114.) This leaves the question of identity open. She was still living in 1678, as her name appears in that year in a list of church members.
In 1673, he was Schepen of Hurley, Ulster county. (Doc. Rel. to Col. Hist. N. Y., ii., 626.)
On the 5th of February, 1674, he witnessed the signatures of Indian Sachems to a treaty with Col. Nicolls. (Col. Uls. Hist. Soc., i., 63.) He died in 1674.

The removal of this Cornelius from Albany to Esopus, as above stated – a tradition, preserved through another channel, that he first settled at Albany - and a comparison of dates - make it probable that he was son of the Peter, above mentioned, and the fact is so assumed, though it is uncertain.
A tradition preserved in the family Bible of Judge Henry Wynkoop, of Pennsylvania, is as follows - Cornelius C. Wynkoop, a young bachelor, migrated from Utrecht in the United Dutch Netherlands, early in the 17th Century, to Manhadoes now New York and soon after settled at Vertrange (Fort Orange) now Albany. Here he erected certain water works, but his knowledge of the streams was defective, and a sudden rise of the waters destroyed his works. After this disaster, he removed from Albany to Esopus, where he remained as a farmer, until his death. He left four sons, Everardus, Johannes, Gerardus, and Benjamin. The first two remained at Esopus, as farmers; Gerardus with his family removed to Pennsylvania 1717; and the youngest, Benjamin, a silversmith, settled in New York.
THIRD GENERATION.
Children of Cornelius Wynkoop and Marritje Jans.
Johannes (John): he is said to have married Margartje Elmendorf; but this is doubtful. He did marry Judith Bloodgoodt – or Blodgart, (B. R. of K.) - probab1y Bloodgood. And it is likely that he had for a second (if not third wife) Cornelia Ten Broock. (B. R. of K.) He took the oath of allegiance to the British in 1689, in Ulster county. (D. H. N. Y., i., 279.) He was known as Major Johannes Wynkoop, freeholder of Kingston, in 1728. (Same, iii., 969.) The same year he was classed with "Old officers and old men in a "List of commanding officers, as well military as civil." (Same 972.) In 1731 he was Sheriff of Ulster county. (Same, i., 694: C. U. H. S., i., 99.)
Evert: he married Geertje (Gertrude), daughter of Jacobus Elmendorf. In the baptismal records her name is usually written Geertje, but once it is given as Greetje (Margaret) He seems subsequently to have married Antje Kiersted, a descend-
8
ant of Anneke Jans, whose name is well known in connection with the Claims against the corporation of Trinity Church. She is recorded as a widow, in a list of slaveholders, at Hurley, in 1755. (D. H. N. Y., iii., 847.)
He took the oath of allegiance in Ulster county, in 1698. (D. H. N. Y., i., 279.)
His name occurs as a freeholder of Kingston in 1728. (D. H. N. Y., iii., 969.)
Gerritt: his wife, according to the baptismal records of Kingston and Albany, was Hilletje (Hail) Gerritse.
He took the oath of allegiance, in Ulster county, in 1689. In 1700 he was Ensign of a foot company in the counties of Ulster and Duchess, under Conrad Elmendorf, Captain (D. H. N. Y., i., 363.) In 1712 he was a Deacon of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in Kingston and, as such, joined in a petition, May 1st, for the incorporation of a Dutch Church. (D. H. N. Y., iii., 967.)
In 1717 he removed his family to the township of Moreland, then in the county of Philadelphia, now Montgomery, Pennsylvania. His wife, at this time, was Helena Elte or Else. (F. B. of H. W.) She may have been a second wife, or her name may have been differently written after her removal. Perhaps the tradition incorporated in the Bible record was incorrect.
Claes: baptized at Kingston in 1668. This name should probably be Klaas - Nicholas.
Catharine: baptized at Kingston in 1671 or 1672.
Benjamin: baptized at Kingston, November 5, 1673. He was a silversmith, and settled in New York, and married Femmetje Van Der Heul, October 22, 1697. (C. M. N. Y., 1862, 651; M. R.D.C.)
In 1698 he was admitted a freeman of New York city. (H. N. Y., Val. 377.) He is recorded as having voted in the South Ward, Sept. 29, 1701. (C. M. N. Y., 1857, 520.) He is mentioned as head of a family in 1703. (D. H. N. Y., i., 615.) The baptismal record of his children is to be found in New York city.
He is said to have married Anne Elmendorf. This seems to be a mistake; yet he may have married and lost her, before his removal to New York.

FOURTH GENERATION.
Children of Johannes Wynkoop and Judith Bloodgoodt.
Cornelius: baptized at Kingston, Jan. 4, 1688. This Cornelius was probably the person who was husband of Barbara Mathyson, or Matzeze, in 1709 and 1710: though she may have married Cornelius, son of Evert and Geertje. It is likewise uncertain which Cornelius was the one who married Hendrica (Henrietta) Niewkerk, December 14; 1711. It is asserted that she was the husband of the other Cornelius. (H. H. R.} It is not known that both of them survived infancy.

Cornelius: baptized January 1, 1701.
Gerritt: baptized November 29, 1702. Effort has been made, without success, to trace this Gerritt. He is said to have been father of Gerardus, who married Elizabeth (or Mary) Bennet; but though this is possible, it is uncertain.
Nicholas, baptized at Albany, 1705. (A. of A.: J. Munsell.) He was born February 9, 1705, and on the 20th of September, 1732 he married Ann, daughter of Henry Knipers of Hersymas, Bergen county, New Jersey. He died August 3, 1759.

Maria: baptized August 29, 1714.
FIFTH GENERATION.
Children of Cornelius Wynkoop, Jr., and Barbara Mathy-
son
Evert: baptized at Kingston, 11, 1709. This must be the Evert Wynkoop, Jr., whose birth is recorded in his own family Bible, on the 29th day of January, 1709. (His Bible, printed at Amsterdam, in 1714, is now in the possession of the Compiler of this book, who is his great-great-grandson.) On the 3d of May, 1730, he married Arriantje (Arrietta) Schepmoes, daughter of Dirck and Margaret Schepmoes, who was born November 12, 1706, and died March 26, 1779. Evert was a Captain in the Old French War, and returned home sick of camp fever, of which he died September 16, 1757. His tombstone at Kingston is still in good preservation, and it bears the following inscription: "Here lies the body of Captain Evert Wynkoop, who departed this life the 16th day of September, Anno Domini 1757 in the 49th year of his age."
Tjaatje: baptized at New York city, October 8, 1710.

Johannes: baptized at Kingston, August 16, 1719.
Catrina: baptized at Kingston, February 11, 1722.
Adrian: baptized at Kingston, August 21, 1726. He seems to have married Catharina Low; and they appear to have been baptismal witnesses in New York city, in 1765 and 1794. (B. R. D. C.) He left his whole estate to his wife and to his nephew, John C. It is, therefore, probable that he had no children.
Cornelius (C.); baptized November 5, 1732. (H. H. R.) He married Mary Catharine Roel, April 24, 1760. (C. M. N. Y., 1862, p. 651). Her name was also written Ruehl (N. Y. M. iii., 112). This was probably the "shopkeeper," who, was admitted a freeman of New York City in 1770. (C. M. N Y., 1856, p. 501.)

Baptisms recorded at Kingston.
Cornelius (D.) baptized April 25, 1742. He was perhaps the Cornelius D. who married Leah Dubois, about April 10, 1762. (N. Y. M, vi. 98.) He appears to have subsequently married Anne Gansevoort. See Cornelius, son of Dirck and Geertje.
Annatje: baptized November 11, 1744.

14
Petrus: baptized August 10, 1760.
Leah: married Peter Brill (C. C. K.)
Maria: married Christian Meyer. (C. C. K.)
Child of Gerritt Wynkoop.
Gerardus: It is believed, though the fact is not established, that this Gerardus was son of Gerritt, which Gerritt was son of Geritt and Hilletje Gerritse. He married Elizabeth Bennet. He was an officer of the Revolutionary Army. His residence was in Bucks county, Pennsylvania. He was Speaker of the Assembly of Pennsylvania for nineteen years. He died in 1812. (M. B. W. & S. R. S.) His wife is also called Mary. (C. L. W.)
Children of Nicholas Wynkoop and Ann Knipers.
Helena: born February 8, 1734. (F. M. W.)
Henry: born March 2. (0. S.) 1737. He married Miss Cummings of New Jersey; (A. M. A.) and afterward, September 10, 1761, Susanna only daughter of John Wanshaer, and Christiana Egberts of Essex county, New Jersey. [Her name is also written Wansaer.] She was born October 29th, 1742; and died August 26, 1776. (F. M. W.) On the 21st day of April 1782, he married Sarah Newkirk, of Pittsgrove, New Jersey. (S. R. W.) She died June 28, 1813, aged 71. (F. B. of H. W.)
He served as a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary Army; and he was a member of the First Provincial Conference of Pennsylvania, which met at Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, June 18, 1776. His house was distinguished as the home of Col. Monroe, during the time when the latter was disabled by a wound received at the battle of Trenton. A letter from General Washington addressed to his friend Wynkoop, procured these hospitable quarters for the Colonel. President Monroe, in a letter dated March 26, 1824, expressed the most lively gratitude for the kindness received during an interesting period of our Revolutionary War. (W. B. W.)
He was a member of the First Provincial Congress; and the personal friend of Alexander Hamilton. (A. M.A.)
He was a member of the First Congress of the United States which met at New York, 1789. (Republican Court, page 166.)
He was an Associate Justice of the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks county, Pennsylvania. (S. R. W.)
15
It is said that Washington favored the giving of an honorable title to the President, and that on one occasion he asked General Mulenburgh what he thought of styling the President, High Mightiness. The General answered: - "if all the incumbents should have the commanding size and presence of yourself, or of my friend Wynkoop (who was present), the title might be appropriate; but if applied to some lesser men, it would provoke ridicule." (Republican Court, page 153.)
Children of Cornelius Wynkoop and Elizabeth Vander
Spiegel.
Jacobus: born about 1721. (Tomb inscription at Albany. He was baptized at New York, March 3, 1725; and was husband of Alida Coens or Koens. (B. R. D. C.) He was a "skipper" [sea captain] and married Alida Myers [Coens not Myers], of Curacoa; who was born October 11, 1736. His father was a wine merchant of New York City. Jacobus removed to Ulster county. He, with his family, left Esopus for A!bany about two weeks before the British destroyed Esopus. (E. W. of A.) His wife died October 16, 1794, aged 58 years and five days; and he died May 4, 1795, aged 74. (Tomb inscriptions; A. of A., vi. 98.) Possibly he was the person who, in 1778, joined in a petition of the inhabitants of Rochester, Ulster County, for protection against the Indians. (C. of U. H. S., i., 58.)
Femmetje: baptized at New York, October 19, 1726.
Benjamin: baptized at New York, December 21, 1729.
Cornelius: baptized the same day. He seems to have been the husband of Abigail Osburne.
Anna: baptized July 29, 1733.
Child of Benjamin Wynkoop, Jr., and Eunice Burr.
Benjamin: baptized at New York, April 9, 1732.
SIXTH GENERATION.
Children of Evert Wynkoop and Arriaentje Schepmoes.
Cornelius: born March 1, 1731; died April 21, 1741. (F. B. of E. W.)
Dirck, (Richard): born October 15, 1732; married, November 1, 1754, Tjaatje (Charity), daughter of Johannes Wynkoop.
16
and Maria Bogardus. She was born November 19, 1731, and died November 17, 1757. On the 13th of December, 1760, he married Sarah, daughter of Petrus Smedes. She was born December 8, 1737. Dirck died December 9, 1796. (F. B. of E. W.; N. Y. M., iii., 422.) A transcript from the baptismal records of Kingston states the date of his baptism as September 22, 1732; but this seems erroneous as to the month.
He was a member of the Second Provincial Congress, which met at New York, November 14, 1775. (Col. of Ulster Hist. S., i., 120.)
When the British burned Esopus, some of the public papers in Mr. Bancker's charge at Judge Wynkoop's house, on the corner of Pearl and Fair streets, were removed only a few moments before a party of Red-coats began to plunder the buildings. (Same, 138.)
Judge Dirck Wynkoop was an estimable gentleman, and one of the most active and noted persons in Ulster county during the Revolution. While a member of the Committee of Safety, he was sent to the Provincial Congress of 1775; served in the Assembly in 1780-81; in 1788 became a member of the State Convention, to which was submitted the Federal Constitution. He was appointed, by ordinance of the Convention of 1777, an associate with Levi Pawling, named First Judge, and from 1783 he held for ten years the office of First Judge of the county. (Same, 69.)
An obituary notice was published in the "Rising Sun" of Kingston, December 16, 1796, in the following terms:
"Died, at his house in Kingston, on Friday Evening the 9th inst., the Hon. Dirck Wynkoop, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, for the County of Ulster, in the 65th year of his age. In the discharge of his judicial duties Judge Wynkoop ever supported the strictest integrity and impartiality. In our national councils, to which the voice of his country had often called him, the firm Whig and independent Patriot ever marked his political career. In domestic life he was an affectionate husband and an indulgent parent. He bore the pains of an excruciating disorder with Christian firmness and resignation, and his candle went out in peace with God and man."
His tombstone, which is in good preservation, stands beside that of his father in the graveyard of the First Dutch Church.
17
His silver box, for smoking tobacco, descended to the Compiler. The lid is embossed with the representation of a Holland feast.

He lived at Marbletown, Ulster county, and died there September 19, 1795, and was buried at the new church at that place. (F. B. of E. W.; C. M. N. Y., 1862, 651; N. Y. M., x., 79.) He was a Major in the Revolutionary Army.
