MEMBERS OF THE DUTCH CHURCH,
WITH THE NAMES OF THE STREETS
IN THE CITY OF N E W-Y O R K,
a. D. 1 6 8 6.
From the original manuscript of Rev. Henry Selyns,
Pastor of the Church.INTRODUCTORY NOTE,
BY THE REV. THOMAS DE WITT, D.D.
Of the Collegiate Dutch Reformed Church, New-York.
The list inserted below is copied from a small volume originally
belonging to Dominie Henricus Selyns, of the Reformed Dutch
Church in the city of New-York. In this are recorded the names
of the members of the church, arranged in their order in the respec-
tive streets, probably to guide him in his pastoral visitations. It
bears the date of 1686—Dominie is the official name familiarly
given to their ministers at that period. Dominie Selyns sustained
a high reputation in the ministry. In his early day he officiated in
the church at Stuyvesant’s Bouwery, on the spot where St. Mark’s
Church now stands, and in the church at Brooklyn combined, from
1660 to 1664, when he returned to Holland. Such was the high
estimation in which he was here held, that when a vacancy occurred
in the church of New-York, by the death of Dom. Drisius, a call was
forwarded to Mr. Selyns, which he declined. When, again, a vacancy
occurred in 1682, by the death of Dom. W. Yan Nieuwenhuysen,
a call was again forwarded to him, which he accepted. He con-
tinued pastor of the church until his death in 1701. He sustained a
high character as an able and faithful minister, and was distinguish-
ed for his literary acquirements. He is said to have cultivated a
taste for poetry, of which a few specimens in Latin and Dutch re-
main. A poem of some length will be found prefixed to Cotton
Mather’s Magnalia Americana, addressed to the author.
The list is copied literally from Selyns’ manuscript. The original
Dutch has been retained.

The Records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New-York
commence in 1639, and are subsequently continued with care
and regularity. At that time Everardus Bogardus was minister.INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

It is not known at what time he was settled. It is ascertained
that he was here as early as 1635. From the complexion of the
earliest records, it appears that there must have previously been
an ecclesiastical organization, but at what time that organization
took place cannot be ascertained.
Mr. Bogardus left the church in 1647, and was succeeded by
Johannes Megapolensis and Samuel Megapolensis, who officiated
at the same time. Johannes Megapolensis, it appears, also labored
for a time at Rensselaerwyck. He died in 1670. Samuel Me-
gapolensis was also a doctor of medicine, and was one of the
commissioners to negotiate with the British at the capitulation of
the colony in 1664. The next in order of time were,
Samuel Drisius, from	1659 to 1672
Wilhelmus van Nieuwen-
huysen,	1671 to	1681
*Henricus Selyns,	1682 to 1701
Gualterus Du Bois,	1699 to 1756
Henricus Boel,	1713 to	1754
Joannes Ritzema, 1744 to 1776
Lambertus De Ronde, 1751 to 1776
Archibald Laidlie, D D. 1764 to 1778
John H. Livingston, D D. 1770 to 1810
William Linn, D. D. 1785 to 1805
Gerardus A. Kuypers, “ 1787 to 1833
Ritzema and De Ronde retired into the country when the Bri-
tish took possession of the city in 1776, and did not return to their
charge at the close of the war, but remained in retirement in their
old age, receiving an annuity till their death.
Dr. Laidlie was the first who preached in the English language*
being called for that purpose from Flushing in Holland*
* The following are the concluding lines of the Latin poem above referred
to, addressed by Dominie Selyns to Cotton Mather, and inserted in the Mag-
nalia.—Ed.
“ Tu dilecte Deo, cujus Bostonia gaudet
Nostra ministerio, seu cui scribere libros,
Non opus, aut labor est, et qui Magnalia Christi*
Americana refers, scriptura plurima. Nonne
Dignus es, agnoscare inter Magnalia Christi X
Vive liber, totique orbi miracula monstres,
Quae sunt extra orbem. Cottone, in saecula vive ;;
Et dum mundus erit, vivat tua fama per orbem.

* There was formerly a fresh water pond where a part of Centre-street and its vicinity
^re now situated. That quarter of the city is still often called the Collect, from kolk, the
Dutch word for a small lake. The families residing to the north or on the Bowery road,
iare described in the list as “ beyond the fresh water,” referring to this pond.LIST OF CHURCH MEMBERS.

NOTE.
Many of the above names are familiar abbreviations, and correspond to-
English names as follows :—
Geertje, Gertrude;	Styntie, Christina;
Grietje, Margaret;	Neettje, Cornelia;
Mietje, Mary;	Marrietje, Maria;
EIsje, Alice ;	Annetje, Anna ;
Baetje, Elizabeth;
Tryntje, Catherine;
Aeltje, Alida;
Claesje, Claudia, &c.
The list appears to have been prepared with great care, but probably con-
tains some errors, especially in respect to the maiden names of the married
women. One mistake of this kind certainly exists in the case of Gov. Stuy-
vesant’s widow, whose family name was Bayard, instead of Isendoorn. On
the death of her husband, letters testamentary were granted to her as the
executrix of his estate, commencing in the following manner :—
“ Whereas Mr. Petrus Stuyvesant, heretofore Governor of these parts for the
States General of the United Provinces and the West India Company, de-
ceased, did, in his last will and testament, declare and appoint Mrs. Judith
Bayard, his widow and relict, to be his whole and sole executrix, to dispose^
of his estate, goods, and chattels, to such uses and purposes as in the said will
and testament is at large set forth,” &c. Dated at Fort James, in New Yorkr.
the 7th day of March, in the twenty-fourth year of his Majesty’s reign, A. D.
1671, [1672, new style.]*
* Lib. 1. of Wills, Surrogate’s Office. The will of Gov. Stuyvesant was dated 19 Jan*.
1671—2, and the letters testamentary were issued in the following March.400
NOTE.
This lady was the daughter of Balthazar Bayard, a French protec-
tant, who having fled from his native country to escape religious persecution,
took refuge in Holland. She was married at Amsterdam, and accompanied
her husband to this country in 1647, where she continued to reside until her
decease in the early part of 1687. Their children were two sons, Balthazar,
born in 1647, and Nicholas William, in 1648. Her will, which was proved
April 7, 1687, contains the following provisions respecting the chapel erected
by Gov. Stuyvesant on a part of his estate, now the site of St. Mark’s Church :
“ And I do by these presents further, by form of a legacy, give and grant
to the Reformed Nether-Dutch church, or congregation of the city of New-
York, my the testatrice’s church or chapel, situated on my bowry or farm,
together with all the revenues, profits, and immunities, to have and to hold
the said chapel and appurtenances after the time of my decease unto the over-
seers of the said congregation to their use aforesaid for ever; with further
power, if they see cause, to demolish or displace the same, and to employ the
materials thereof to such uses as they shall think fit or expedient; provided
that, in such case, of the said materials be made and built all and whatsoever
in the enclosed testament is expressed and required for the preservation of the
tomb or vault, which was built by my deceased husband in the said church.,,
The “ enclosed testament” was another will of a previous date, and contained
the following bequest to Col. Nicholas Bayard, a leading politician of that period:
u Item. To my said cousin Nicholas Bayard, and to his wife and children, if
desired, a burying place in the tomb or vault of my last deceased husband in
the chapel or church at my bowry; and in case it should happen that my said
church or chapel did come to decay, or for any other reason be demolished, I
do hereby declare and publish it to be my last will and testament, that of the
materials of said chapel be made a building sufficient for a cover upon said
vault.”
The late Petrus Stuyvesant, Esq. a great grandson of the Governor, caused
this vault to be repaired and enlarged about forty years ago, when St. Mark’s
Church was erected, beneath which it now lies. The remains of the Governor
were supposed to be then recognized, after a lapse of nearly one Hundred and
thirty years since his decease.—Ed.
