Bording Records

I'm back after a few days away from the computer. Today's post returns to the family of Claes Bording - indirectly.

I decided to look at some available online Bording records. Although Claes and his family was secured in America by 1700, I looked at records from the 18th century [1700s]. I ruled out English Bordings since there was no suggestion that Claes lived there.

Four countries did dominate the records: Denmark, Prussia, Germany and Norway. Denmark was by far the dominant country Prussia next, followed by Germany and a couple of entries for Norway.

In no way do records from a century after the fact offer proof of birthplace. It does, however, offer a glimmer of hope in determining the birthplace of Claes  Bording. The Netherlands do not appear in the available records. Prussia remains a strong possibility, with Demark the most likely option. Germany is a slim possibility.

Nothing firm, but maybe closer to an answer.

A Birthplace Quandry

I am hoping to have an update on the Bording [Bordingh] family ready to go for tomorrow. Preparations for that post have put me in a bit of a quandary - determining the birthplace of one Claes Claeszen Bordingh. Nearly every source presents a different locale for Claes' birth. Specific details will be presented in the Bording narrative.

The options:
(1) The Netherlands
(2) Danzig, Denmark
(3) Denmark
(4) Bording, Denmark
(5) Ravox [Ravaux or Roubaix, France / Ravnholt or Ravnholtlund, Demark]
(6) Bloemendaal, Noord Holland, The Netherlands 
(7) Danzig

(1) Claes clearly spent time in The Netherlands before settling in New Amsterdam during the 1640s, so a birth in that country would be a possibility. His mother was still living in Amsterdam in 1647. So, either Bording was a Dutch native, or his family had moved there during his youth.

(2) Danzig, Denmark. Danzig, now Gdansk, Poland, is not part of Denmark. That takes this one out of the competition, even though "Danzig, Denmark" is a popular birthplace among the undocumented sources.

(3) Denmark is a possibility for Claes' birth.

(4) Bording, Denmark. That Claes' surname could be a Danish place name makes sense.

(5) Ravox appears in the marriage record for Claes and Susanna. Researchers have turned up similarly spelled locations in France, as well as Danish towns beginning with "Rav."

(6) Bloemendaal appears in at least record as Claes' home. This would make him a Dutchman by birth. This could also have been where the Bordings settled after leaving 'wherever.'

(7) Danzig shows up as Claes' place of birth either separately or with "Denmark" with some frequency. The most intriguing source is the Half Moon Series: Papers on Historic New York. [1897] This source states that Danzig seems to be the place of Bordingh's origin. It goes on to mention that Bordingh is an occupational name meaning "lighterman" or "boatman" in the East Prussian dialect of the region. Bordingh was a mariner.

Now, where was Claes Bording born? We can rule out Danzig, Denmark, since that place never existed. Denmark is a possibility, as is The Netherlands and Danzig. Danzig was a major trading partner with The Netherlands. The Bordings may have had their origins in The Netherlands and Claes was born in Danzig or vice versa. Definite conclusion? Claes was not born in Danzig, Denmark!

Family Update: CREGIER [1st generation]

First Generation
 

1.  Martin Cregier^1–2 was born in 1614–1617 in Borken, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.^3–4 He died after 1686 at the age of 72 in Canastagione, New York, British America.^3–4 There are conflicting places of birth for Martin Cregier, as well as a conflicting time frame  for his death.

Cregier's place of birth has been given as Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrennes, France and Borken, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, the latter on the border of The Netherlands. His death was estimated to have fallen between 1686 and 1689 to as late as 1713.

Martin Cregier  married about 1638 in Borken, or possibly in The Netherlands, to Elisabeth Janse. Their eldest child, Francois [Frans] was either born in Borken or Maastricht, Limburg, The Netherlands. Martin Jr. may have been born in Amsterdam.

The family arrived in New Amsterdam before 5 April 1643 when daughter, Jannetje was baptized at the Dutch Chuch there.

On 2 September 1643, Martin was on record as discussing the price of beaver. He sent 50 beavers to Holland for sale on 15 July 1644. Creiger went into partnership with Willem Kieft, representing the Dutch West India Company, and nine others on 4 December 1646 to purchase the "La Grace," a small French frigate that would be used as a privateer under the control of the Dutch government.

Cregier, on 18 May 1643, acquired a lot north of the fort on the west side of Heere Wegh [Broadway]. Here he erected the first public building on that thoroughfare. By 23 July 1647, Cregier was operating a tavern. He also ran a shipping business between Fort Orange/Albany and New Amsterdam/New York City with a sloop called the Bedfort. The trading venture was later expandined to include the Delaware River markets. Martin would also serve as fire warden [1648] and orphanmaster for New Amsterdam in later years.

In 1651 and 1652 Martin was trading with merchants on the Isle of Wight. On 2 February 1653, Cregier and Arendt van Hatten were commissioned as the first burgomasters of New Amsterdam. Martin served as burgomaster again in 1654, 1659, 1660 and 1663.

Creiger had been commissioned a captain of militia on 5 December 1656 and placed in command of the garrison at New Amstel [modern-day New Castle, Delaware] after the Dutch reclaimed the settlement from the Swedes. [The Swedes had captured the former Dutch settlement in 1654.] Cregier was involved in local military affairs at New Amstel off and on through 1659.

He resigned as burgomaster on 26 June 1663 to devote his efforts once again to the military. Following the aforementioned service at New Amstel, Cregier accompanied Peter Stuyvesant on 12 June 1660 to investigate the Esopus War that had taken place that spring near Wildwyck. Once peace was established, Matin remained in Wildwyck and served as city treasurer and orphan master during 1661.

After the war, a dozen young warriors were sold into slavery in Curacao by the Dutch. This act was deemed unforgivable by the Esopus.. This action led, in part, to the Second Esopus War that began with the Indians attacking Wildwyck on 7 June 1663. Later the village of Nieu Dorp [Hurley] was also attacked. 21 settlers were killed, 9 wounded and another 45 taken captive.

Governor Stuyvesant sent Cregier to quell the uprising. He was given the rank of Captain-Lieutenant of the West India Company. The forces under Cregier included about 80 company mercenaries, 30 English soldier under Sgt. Nicholas Stillwell and some 40 Long Island Indians. Cregier's "scorched earth" campaign successfully ended the war and nearly all of the captives were rescued. The village of New Paltz would be established by Louis DuBois and others on land ceded to thee Dutch by the Esopus. 

Martin Cregier returned to New Amsterdam after conquering the Esopus. Not long after his return, the political tide turned in the Dutch colony. On 8 September 1664, Martin was one of the signers of the Ratification of the Articles of Capitulation, turning control of New Netherland over to the English. Richard Nicholls became governor of the colony of New York. Cregier took the Oath of Allegiance to England.

Cregier remained a force in New York City. He was appointed a captain of one of two companies ordered to appear upon Stuyvesant's departure on 17 August 1668. He was made captain of a foot company under Governor Lovelace in 1670 and 1672. Martin was a customs collector, superintendent for the "erection of fortifications" and tax commissioner under Lovelace.

The Dutch regained control of the colony for a brief period in 1673-74. Martin once again served as burgomaster and superintendent of building fortifications. After Gov. Andros reestablished British control of New York, Cregier served briefly as a tax commissoner and was listed as a merchant. He was a church master the same year.

During the 1670s, Cregier had purchased property near Canastagione [Niskayuna] not far from Albany. He retired there, probably living with Martin Jr. The elder Cregier was back in New York City in 1686, when he appeared on the list of church members. Martin was residing on Pearl Street, either with his daughter, Tryntje, or next door to her.

After 1686, Martin Cregier's life becomes a bit of mystery. He may have died between 1686 and 1689, probably in New York City, or returned to Canastagione, where he died between 1689 and the early part of 1713.

Martin Cregier and Lysbeth Jans were married circa 1638 in prob. Borken, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.^4–5 Lysbeth Jans was born in 1620–1623 in Germany or The Netherlands.⁶ She died before 1686 at the age of 66 in New York City, New York, British America.⁴
 

Martin Cregier and Lysbeth Jans had the following children:

              2              i.   Francois "Frans" Cregier, born ca 1639, Borken, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany; married Walburga DeSille, 29 Feb 1660, New Amsterdam, New Netherland; died 1666, New Castle, Maryland, British America.

              3             ii.   Martin Cregier Jr., born ca 1640, prob Amsterdam, Noord Holland, The Netherlands; married Jannetje Hendricks, Sep 1671, Albany, New York, British America; died 21 Jan 1702, Castagoa, Albany, New York, British America.

                            iii.   Catharina Cregier was born in Apr 1643 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷ She was baptized on 5 Apr 1643 in New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷ She died before 1645 at the age of 2 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷

                            iv.   Willem Cregier was born in Aug 1644 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷ He was baptized on 28 Aug 1644 in New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷

              4             v.   Catrina "Tryntje" Cregier, born Dec 1645, New Amsterdam, New Netherland; married Christoffel Hoagland, 23 Jun 1661, New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, New Amsterdam, New Netherland; married Reoloff Martinszen Schenck, ca 30 Nov 1688, New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, New Amsterdam, New Netherland; died 1713, Flatlands, [Brooklyn, Kings Co.], Kings, New York, British America.

                            vi.   Elizabeth "Lysbeth" Cregier⁷ was born in Nov 1647 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷ She was baptized on 24 Nov 1647 in New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, New Amsterdam, New Netherland.⁷ Lysbeth appears to have married a Borgardus.

              5           vii.   Cornelis Cregier, born ca 1651, New Amsterdam, New Netherland; married Annetje Bording, 30 Jun 1676, New York City, New York, British America; died ca 1720, New York City, New York, British America.

 

Family Updates Preview

Covering the next several posts, I will be updating family groups and stories. This plan could be interrupted, of course, if more vital information or news becomes available.

Among the families scheduled for an update are: CREGIER, BORDING, DOUGLAS, PERKINS, SCOTT, TOWNE, LAKIN, STRICKLAND, MATTHEWS, LATHAM, HOWELL, BAKER, BROWNE, HILL, JONES, GREELEY, MOYSE, SINGLETARY, HIBBERT, ALLEN, PEARCE/PIERCE, TREADWAY, FOLKARD, LOOKE, WEBSTER & MARSH.

A few others may find their way into the picture, as well. The updates may be a few sentences, clarifying a relationship, or several generations, expanding on my previous information.

Several of these are related by marriage. Hopefully. I will have the wherewithal to run their stories in successive posts. BUT, I make no promises! 

I don't have any particular order set to mind, so if you are related to any of these families, check back from time to time to see if your family of interest has been covered.

Generational Adjustment: Annetje Bording

I am making adjustments to information on a previous post about Annetje Bording, daughter of Susanna Vreught and Claes Bording. The focus here is on Annetje's mother, Susanna.

The Dutch Church records have Susanna listed variously as Elias, Lees, Lies, Lees, Lues,  Vreught, Vrught, Marsuryns, Martyrns and possibly a few other variations of Lies, Vreught or Marsuryn.

Two theories exist. (1) A marriage to an Elias/ Lies Marsuryn prior to her marriage to Claes Bording. (2) She was not a Vreught.

FamilySearch.org  has the Netherlands Births and Baptisms, 1564-1910. Among the records is a 6 April 1631 christening for Susanna, daughter of Maturijn Lies and Marij Sijmon in Amsterdam, Noord Holland, Netherlands.

Susanna was previously shown as the daughter of Pieter Vreught and Marritje Simons. Marritje, or Marij, married three times. (1) Maturin Lies; (2) Pieter Vreught & (3) Symon Joosten - c1647.

Maturin Lies must have died shortly after Susanna's birth. Vreught would then have been the only father, Susanna knew. He may have adopted her. Susanna had a brother Willem. He may have been a Lies or Vreught, but both were called the children of Marritje and Pieter Vreught in 1647.

So, an adjustment to the Generations: Pieter Vreught is replaced by Maturin Lies as the grandfather of Annetje Bording.

Generational Wrap-up

At long last the generations list has come to a conclusion! As has been the case for most of my lengthy series of posts, this has been an enlightening endeavor. I have a sizable stack of documents and articles shedding new light on, perhaps, 15-20 families.
