The Iroquois called him kora-kowa, "The Great Corlaer" which became a title of honor used for all great leaders. He is called "The founder of Schnectady and Stien Hocke or Watervliet, New York". "In 1667, while on a journey to Canada, in compliance with a friendly invitation from the French governor, Tracy. Having embarked in a canoe to cross Lake Champlain, he was overtaken by a storm and drowned..." He left no legitimate children. Name also seen as Van Curler, and in Holland Van Korlaer.

Notes: Jacob Jansen came from the town of Etten, six miles from Breda, in the province of North Brabant, Holland and to distinguish him from the numerous other Jansens, according to the usual Dutch custom, he was given the suffix Van Etten. Worked as head farmhand to Aert (Arthur) Pietersen Tack/Tach. Took Jacob Jansen came to America in 1658 or before & Peter Stuyvesant was the Governor of the Dutch Colony of New Netherlands (now New York State). Upon arrival on this continent, Jacob settled at Wiltwyck (now Kingston) on the Hudson River. Oath of Allegiance to England in 1689. Lived in Marbletown, NY. First appears in records as "Van Etten" in 1670 when son Adrian, their third child, was baptised. Marriage record: "1665, 11 Jan.

I have a copy of the article "The Divorce of Annetje Arians" from Olde Ulster, vol. 7, 1911 (Reel #897082, page 207-212) - article refers to Aert T. Tach being accused of bigamy, having a wife in Amsterdam, Holland and Annatje Arians, his first wife, in New York. "On which ground Annenken Ariaens, his first wife, has petitioned your honours for a decree of divorce and permission to marry someone else… Annetje Arians (Annatje) (Adriaensen, Adrians, Gelvins), b. c1632, Amsterdam, Holland.

His wife, Annetje was carrying her second child at that time. Aert probably returned to Holland, where he married another woman. Annetje was granted a divorce from Aert Tack August 21, 1664 at Fort Amsterdam. Any information on this family would be appreciated. I have a lot of information on the Van Ettens in NY and in Ontario, Canada. I am looking for information on JOSEPH VAN ETTEN b. c1761, NY, USA, bapt 17 Oct 1761, Port Jervis, NY, USA, mar.
