2. Jan Bastiansen van Kortrik was born in 1618 in Leerdam, Holland (Kortryk, Belgium ?). He died after 1677 in Harlem, NY.
"...settled farther up the Linge (from leerdam) at a busy little village within sight of Wolfswaert Castle, as also of the ruined abbey of Marienwaert and called Beest, it's balliwick of the same name joining westerly to the Prince's land, but within the Gelderland border." (Also seen as Beesd. )
Later he embarked with his brother Michael (Michiel) and their respective families 16 Apr 1663 on the ship "De Bonte Koe, (the Spotted Cow)" headed for Nieuw Amsterdam -- Jan Bergen was Master of the ship. Each adult was charged 39 florins, cchildren under 10, except infants were half price. It cost Jan Bastianensen for the transportation of his family 204 florins, 10 stivers.
He may have been the "Korttryck" who owned a bouwery on Staten Island in 1674. He spent part of his time at Harlem, but is last mentioned there 8 Jan 1677 when he was a witness to a power of attorney given his old friend, Jan Louwe Bogert to Hendrick Jansen Baker, to collect money due Bogart on Brooklyn property sold to Thomas Lamberts.
He died after 1677 probably in New York.
