Excerts from book:
In the "History of Schenectady County," (1879), page 40, is:
"Gerrit VEEDER, second son of Simon Volkertse, married, October 3d, 1690, Tryntje (Catharine), daughter of Helmer (William) Otten. She was the only child of Otten, who died in 1676. His widow, Ariantie (Harriet), daughter of Arent Andriese Bradt, called the Noorman, subsequently, about nine months after his decease, married Ryer Schermerhorn. Gerrit VEEDER died in 1755, and left surviving him five sons, respectively named Helmers, Wilhelmus, Hendricus, Simon, and Cornelis; and four daughters, named Engletie, married to Johannis VEDDER; Arientje, married to Daniel Danielse Van Antwerpen; Annatie, married to William Bancker, and Hellena, married to John Bancker.
Gerritt owned the land about VEEDER's mills, early in the 18th century, and had a lease, from the Church, of the mill privilege, in 1718. Through his wife, Catharine, he obtained possessions of lots in the village, on the north and west corners of Union and Church streets, which she had inherited from her father, Otten."
The following Putmans are mentioned:
Arent, page 77
Cornelius, page 77
John, page 52
Johannes, page 76
Victor, page 77
Pages 51-52:
"This Catalina Bradt was the daughter of Andries De Vos, a magistrate and Deputy-Director of Reusselaerwyck. She was reputed to be a lady of intelligence and good education for the limited opportunities of that day. She had great and sad experience in the early history of Schenectady...Then, too, her daughter Cornelia (who had married John Pootman [Putman]) and her husband were both massacred at the same fearful time of destruction..."
Pages 76-77:
"Johannes Putman came to Schenectady in 1664. He married Cornelia, daughter of Arent Andries Bradt and Catalyntje De Vos. His homestead lot was on the northwest corner of Union and Ferry streets, having 100 feet frontage on Union street. Later, he purchased the 100 feet lot next west from Jan Roeloefse, the oldest son of the celebrated Anneke Janse, by her first marriage. He sold subject to the life estate of himself and wife. Roeloefse had no children. On the disastrous night of February 9th, 1690, both Putman and his neighbor Roeloefse, with their wives, were slain by the French and Indians. Jan Putman left three sons and two daughters.
"Arent, the oldest son of Jan, married Lysbat Akerman. He inherited his father's house lot, corner of Union and Ferry streets. He moved to the Mohawk country with his family, where he was living as late as 1754. He had a numerous family. This is the ancestor of Montgomery county Putmans.
"Victor, second son of Jan, December second, 1706, married Margaret, sister of Jan Pieterse Mebie. From him and his brother Cornelius, the Putmans of Schenectady county are generally descended.
"Cornelius, third son of Jan, married Jacomyntje, daughter of Teunis Viele."
Page 100:
"Jan Pieterse MEBIE came to Schenectady in 1684. He married Anna Pieterse, daughter of Pieter Jacobse Borsboon..."
Page 101:
"Jan Pieterse died April 8th, 1725, leaving surviving him three sons and five daughters..."
"Abraham, the second son of Jan Peterse, born June 26th, 1695, married, June 10, 1718, Annatje, daughter of Albert Vedder. He secondly married, March 30th, 1752, Cataline Roseboom..."
The CROMWELLs are on page 141: Aegje, Jacobus, Jan Philipse, Lysbeth and Stephen CROMWELL.
"Jacobus Cromwell married, September 26th, 1703, Maria Philipse, and the same year settled at Schenectady. He was a tavern-keeper, and in 1711, purchased a house and lot in Front street of Wouter (Walter) Vrooman for 130 pounds. After his death, in 1717, his widow married David Lewis, who came to Schenectady in 1713, and was also an inn-keeper.
"Aegje, Cromwell's oldest daughter, born January 29th, 1706, married John Antees (Entis).
"Lysbeth, another daughter, born October 16, 1707, married Robert Carter.
"Stephen a son of Cromwell, born March 6th, 1709, married Cornelia, daughter of Arent Pootman.
"Jan Philipse, another son of Cromwell, born January 21st, 1711, married Agnietje, daughter of Harman Philipse."
Pages 185-186:
"Abraham OOTNOUT, son of Jonas, of Albany, born: May 27th, 1744, came to Schenectady in 1759. He married, first, Margaret, daughter of Gerrit Janse Lansing, of Albany, November 27th, 1767; secondly, married, November 14th, 1787, Helena Lansing, widow of John Zabriskie, of Hackensack, N. J. During the Revolutionary War, Mr. Oothout was the Captain of a Company in Colonel Abraham Wemple's Regiment, and after the war was for years prominent in the military affairs of the State as a General of Militia. He was, as early as 1810, Mayor of the city of Schenectady, and held many civic offices of trust; but, perhaps, in no position was he more conspicuous and efficient than as one of the original founders and patriots of Union College. General Oothout died in 1822. The writer well remembers the large numbers attending his funeral, for General Oothout was a man of mark in this community, and much respected. The President, Faculty, and all the students of Union College were there to honor the good man's memory; and he well recollects (being then in attendance as a student) that, as a lingering feature of old-time funeral, mulled wine was freely distributed to all comers. Probably the last occasion of such an old Dutch custom in the county of Schenectady; and perhaps it is well, in this day of extreme purity and progress, that the old custom is nearly forgotten.
"Gerrit, a son of General Oathout, born January 14th, 1776, died June 19th, 1832, unmarried.
"Henry A., another son, born June 30th, 1780 married Eliza Ann Nicoll, a lineal descendant of Colonel Nicoll, the first English Governor of the Province of New York. Mr. Oathout was an attorney-at-law, for many years residing and practicing his profession at Albany. During the latter years of his life, returning to Schenectady, he retired from professional practice, and died at his homestead June 27th, 1846. His excellent widow died at the residence of her son, in the city of Rochester, January 22d, 1872, in her 85th year."
