The Wife of Jan Bastiansen Kortrijk "According to a book by Henry H. Courtright (written before 1900) (1112) Jan's wife is not named. It just says `Jan married and settled farther up the Linge, at a busy little village within sight of Wolfsweart Castle, also of the ruined Abbey of Marienweest, and called Beest.' It later states that he and his three sons (approaching manhood) and his brother Chiel (Michael) left for America on April 19,1663 on the `Brindled Cow'".

"According to many accounts, Jan Bastiansen Kortrijk was married (circa 1640 - 1645) to Iolanta/Jolant/Jolanta De La Montagne, in Beest, Holland, daughter of Johannes Mousnier De La Montagne (1592 - 1670) and Rachel Monjour de Forrest (1609 - 1643). Iolanta De La Montagne is said to have been born in 1627 in Belgium (or Leyden, Holland) and (according to one source citing the name as Yolanta de la Montagne) to have died after 1677 in Harlem, New York. A seemingly authoritative source listing the six children of Rachel de Forrest, includes a "Jolant," who was born in 1627, but who died in Tobago, West Indies, as an infant. It is known that the family returned from the West Indies to Holland, where two other children were born before they emigrated to America. Only if "Jolant" did not die, but returned to Holland, could she have married Jan Bastiansen Kortrijk. Those wishing to pursue the matter should see: "The Montanye Family," edited by Lois Stewart and published by the Society of Descendants of Johannes de la Montagne, 3657 West Nichols, Springfield, MO 65803, August, 1991, as well as this web site.
"So who was Jan's wife? Another line of research suggests it could have been a woman named Annetje Cornelis. I have found mention of such a woman, born circa 1610, and the name appears numerous times in Dutch baptismal records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam in the years 1647, 1655, 1656, 1659, etc. apparently as a sponsor. However, I find no connection of this name to Jan Bastiansen Kortrijk and I was initially sceptical of this theory because this woman was using a maiden name in the baptismal records. We do find a(n) "Annetje Cornelis Kortright," born about 1680, a daughter of Cornelius Van Quackenbush. A search for her grandparents might be worthwhile. As always, variant spellings also hinder the search. The question is further confused by a source that says "Jan Bastieansen married Annetje Cornelis De La Montagne", thereby suggesting that the "two women" may be the same. It is a shame that confusion reigns at this point, as the Montange line leads to Yolanta's father, Jean Mousier de la Montag/ne (born 1592 in Saintes,Santonge,France) and possible avenues of interest.
"Yet, another source claims that Jan Bastiassen Van Kortryk Louw was married twice, once about 1640 to a Yolanta de La Montagne and then to Annettje Cornelis. She is said to have been born in 1622 in Leerdan, Holland, and to have married our man in 1644, in Beest, Holland . But the web page also states: "It hasn't been proven yet that she is the wife of Jan. Documentation is needed.""

Catherine Hanssen could not have been the daughter of Hans Webber and Trynje Pieters. Given Catherine's marriage date, and the ages of her children, she must have been b. ABT 1655. Her latest Cathryn Hendrickse Kortright) was baptized in 1699::

New Amsterdam Baptisms 1639-1730:
Kingston Baptisms 1660-1809:
Allowing for a birth at age 45 and a somewhat tardy baptism of the infant, the mother (Cathryn) was b. no earlier than 1653; and her marriage date of 14 Dec. 1672 suggests that she was b. BEF 1657 (age 15). There was no surviving Catherine or Tryntje born to any Hans or Jan in New Amsterdam during that time window who could have been ours, other than the d/o Jan Swaen and Marritje Jans. What's more, Hans Webber died BEF 1650, when his widow remarried; so he couldn't have been Catherine's father:

It is possible that Catherine was b. overseas, in which case we would not know who her parents were. I cannot find her marriage record online, nor the baptismal record of her daughter Antje (b. ABT 1676); so I don't know where she was BEF Apr. 1674.

"Yesterday I found that in Dec 1664 Jan Swaan sold his lot on the Heere Gracht (Stokes' Iconography 2:394) and "Jean Swan" was granted a pass to sail on the "Unity" to "Holland" (New York Historical Mss: English; Books of General Entries... 1664-1673, ed. by Christoph and Christoph, 1982; p. 70.)
"'...1663 June 30. "... the males of the two most populous communities of Pavonia, [Bergen Co., NJ] on June 21, 1663, had been formed into military companies. Bergen being the capital ... Caspar Steinmets (Stymus) upon request of the Bergen Magistrates was appointed Captain, while on June 30, following, the inferior officers were designated. Adriaen Post, living at Bergen, was appointed Ensign with Jan Swaen as Sergeant.'
"...'1668 May 12. Do. Same to Paulus Pietersen, for land near Bergen between Thomas de Cuyper and Frederick Philippsen, 3 1/2 morgen; a woodlot between Jan Swaen and Frederick Philippsen, 9 1/2 morgen; a piece of meadow No. 4, South of Jan Lubersen; a town lot next to Derrick Gerretson; another townlot back of the first and a garden on the South side of the town, the whole 37 acres.'
"The list of members of the church at Bergen begins in 1664 with other records following 2 to 3 years later. I do not see either Jan Swaen or his wife in any of them."

Personally, I have doubts that Jan Swaen was the father of Catharine Hansen. The names Jan and Hans were not used interchangeably in most New Amsterdam records (the 9 July 1699 record notwithstanding; but see Howard Swain c/o http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Dutch-Colonies/2000-06/0961208183), and Catharine's father was probably a Hans and not Jans. On the other hand, Jan did grow some roots in New Amsterdam before moving to New Jersey. Conventional wisdom is that he returned to Holland. Perhaps he did go there in 1664 in the "Unity"; but the fact that he continued to be mentioned as a landowner in NJ at least until 1668 suggests that his family may have stayed behind for a while, and that Catharine (who was 15 in 1668) may have done so permanently.
