TENTH GENERATION

908. Cornelius* VAN DER HOFF⁽⁶⁴⁶⁾ was born in 1683 in Albany, Albany Co, New York, USA. He Baptised at Albany Dutch Church on 16 Sep 1683 in Albany, Albany Co, New York, USA. Sponsors Jurriaen Caillarat and Geertruy Cornelise. He died on 28 May 1765 in New York, USA. He had an estate probated on 28 May 1765. The Will named all of his children except Marietje, who had died young.
CORNELIUS VAN DER HOEF went with his family to Bergen County, New Jersey where, on 18Oct1712 at the Hackensack Dutch Church, he married Elizabeth Louweryns Ackerman, born 1691 or 1692, daughter of Lawrence Ackerman and his wife Geertje Egberts of Albany. Cornelius was listed as a debtor in the estate of John McDowell, physician, of Hackensack (NJA 30:316), and he made his own will there as a yeoman on 16Jan1742. Since this was not probated until 28May1765, he probably died that year. The will, in which his wife and friends Jacob Blinkerhoof and Jacob Oldwatter were executors, named children Johannis, Laurence, Gertje, Dorothy, Catherine, Jacob, Cornelius, Egbert, Jannetje and Neally. H.S. Ackerman in the Ackerman Family lists these same children (including also a Peter, born 1723) but reverses the order of Johanis and Laurence, which is felt to be incorrect from other indications.
He was married to Elizabeth (Lysbeth)* ACKERMAN on 18 Oct 1712 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. At the Dutch Reformed Church. Elizabeth was recorded as having been born and now living in Hackensack, NJ. Cornelis was recorded as having been born in Albany, Albany Co., NY, and now living in Hackensack.

909. Elizabeth (Lysbeth)* ACKERMAN ⁽⁶⁴⁷⁾ was born about 1691. Children were:

454 i. Johannis* VANDERHOEF.
ii. Laurence VAN DER HOFF⁽⁶⁴⁸⁾ was born about 1716 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. LAWRENCE VAN DER HOFF first lived in Hackensack, but later moved to New York City, where he and his wife became members of the Dutch Church on 17Feb1766. He was still living there in 1775 when he made his will on 06Sept1775, although his wife had probably predeceased him as she is not mentioned therein. Surviving children named are designated (*) below. Since the will was probated in New York City on 15Dec1785, he probably died there shortly before. He had married Agnietje, daughter of John (GMNJ 18:22) & Marytje (Ackerman) ALLEN, of New York City on 07May1743 at the Dutch Church in Hackensack.

iii. Gertje VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁴⁹⁾ was born about 1718 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA.
iv. Dorothy VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵⁰⁾ was born about 1720 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA.
v. Catherine VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵¹⁾ was born about 1722 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. She Baptised at Bergen Reformed Dutch Church on 17 Jun 1722.
vi. Jacob VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵²⁾ was born about 1725 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. He Baptised at Bergen Reformed Dutch Church on 7 Mar 1725. JACOB VAN DER HOEF continued living in Bergen Co with his wife and became a member of the Schraalenburgh Dutch Church on 02Nov1766. The last recorded mention of Jacobus and his wife Maria was when they sponsored on 24May1774 Marretje, daughter of their daughter Martyntje in the New York Dutch Church. Since he left no will and there is no record of an estate, the time of this death is unknown. Jacob married 20May1748 at Hackensack to Maria OUTWATER, daughter of Jacob Franszen and Martyntje (Berthholf) Outwater (GBR 55:352).

vii. Cornelius VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵³⁾ was born about 1727 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. He Baptised at Bergen Reformed Dutch Church on 3 Sep 1727. CORNELIUS VAN DER HOEF died at a comparatively early age, in that his will was dated 18Feb1757, New York City, and probated 03Mar1758. In it he described himself as a carpenter and made his wife, Jane, executor and sole legatee; but since no children were named and no record of any has been found, it is doubtful that he had any. On 08Jun1754 at New York in the Dutch Church, he married Jannetje Andriesse (or Jane ANDERSON). As his widow, she witnessed a baptism in New York in 1758 and joined the Dutch Church there on 01Feb1768. She signed a deposition on 16Feb1758 as widow and executor of Cornelius, together with Andrew Lowsie, bricklayer of New York, and Priscilla, his wife, relative to a mistake made in the count of some prize money paid her as her husband's share (CEM 2:684). She was buried in the New York City Dutch Church on 31Mar1791.

viii. Marietje VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵⁴⁾ was born on 19 Sep 1729 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. ⁽⁶⁵⁵⁾ She Baptised at Acquackanonk Reformed Dutch Church on 2 Nov 1729.
ix. Egbert VAN DER HOEF was born in 1732 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. He Baptised at Hackensack Dutch Church on 15 Mar 1732 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. EGBERT VAN DER HOEF had one child baptized at Tappan in Orange (now Rockland) Co; this may indicate that he temporarily moved there, but since it is so close to New York City, this cannot be considered conclusively. He married at Schraalenburgh on 27Jan1756 to Margrieta ENNELY (or ANNELI or HENDERSLY) whose family is unknown. In the baptism of Cornelius the mother was listed as Maria LEZIER, but this is felt to have been an error.

x. Jannetje VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵⁶⁾ was born about 1734 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA. She Baptised at Bergen Reformed Dutch Church on 22 Dec 1734.
xi. Neally VAN DER HOEF⁽⁶⁵⁷⁾ was born about 1735 in Hackensack, Bergen Co, New Jersey, USA.
