Notes:

In the name of God, Amen. “I, Ryer Michelsen, the elder, of the Manor of Fordham, in the County of Westchester, being now about four score years of age, and of sound and perfect memory.” It is my will that my 3 sons, Ryer, Hendrick, and Tunis Michelsen, shall have the use and benefit of all lands, meadows, rights, and privileges in Westchester County, until July 1, 1736, and then all my lands are to be sold “for the most that can possibly be got,” and each of my sons is to receive £18. And all of my personal property of horses, cattle, and sheep are also to be sold. I leave to my eldest son, Ryer Michelsen, 40 shillings as a preference for his birthright. And whereas it happened that in the life time of my eldest son, Michel Michelsen, deceased, I was bound for him for his only debt to Benjamin Corsa, for the payment of £21, 8s., on or before February 17, 1725, the same is to be paid out of 1/7 of the money, and the rest is to go to his son, Ryer Michelson. I leave to my daughter Mary, wife of Benjamin Haviland, £5. To Michel Michelsen, the second son of my deceased eldest son, Michel Michelson, £5. And whereas it so happened, that for the only debt of my son-in-law, Joseph Haviland, I and Benjamin Corsa became bound to Michael Furman, “in the sum of 20 odd pounds,” the same is to be paid out of 1/7 of the money, and also an account of money which the wife of said Joseph Haviland is indebted to me, “and has left her cupboard and glass in pledge for the same.” And the overplus is to be paid to my said daughter Sarah, wife of Joseph Haviland. The rest of the money is to be divided among my 3 sons, Ryer, Hendrick, and Tunis, and my daughters, Hannah, wife of Leonard Vincent, deceased, and Jane, wife of Benjamin Corsa. I leave to my son Ryer, and my loving friend Peter Keer, executors.

Reyer Michielsen, named in some curious proceedings, under 1674, married, in 1686, Jacomina, daughter of Jan Tibout, and settled in the town of Fordham. He took part in building the church there, in 1706, and a stone bearing his initials may now be seen in the carriage house wall of Mr. Moses De Voe, who took it from the foundation of the old church, which stood upon Mr. De Voe’s farm. Reyer died in 1733, aged 80 years, having had eight children, to wit: Michiel, Reyer, Hendrick, Teunis, Hannah, who married Leonard Vincent; Mary, who married Benjamin Haviland; Sarah, who married Joseph Haviland, and Jane, who married Benjamin Corsa. The sons of his son Michiel (being Reyer and Michael) retained the name of Michaels, but other of Reyer’s sons took the patronymic Reyers. Hence have descended the two families of Westchester County, and other sections of this State, named Ryer, and Michael, or as also written, McKeel or Mckeel. The name Reyer is said to come from ridder, a knight.

Reyer Michielsen, eldest son of Michiel Bastiaensen, was b. at Schoonrewoerd, Holland, in 1653, coming in 1663 with his parents; he m. April 15, 1686, Jacomyntje, dau. of Jan Tibout, settling at Fordham, where he took part in building the church, of which he was an active member.

A mortgage given by John Archer to Cornelis Steenwyck, of New York, in 1676, gave him full title and possession of the Manor of Fordham, which passed under his will and by certain deeds, to the Dutch church of New York. In getting possession, the church met with great opposition from the town of Westchester. This led in 1688 to a forcible entry by the officers and friends of the church. Elijah Barton, engaged with his father, Roger Barton, to keep possession for and in behalf of the town of Westchester, when on July 16th, in the afternoon, there came a great company of men with Nicholas Bayard, of New York, demanding admittance.

This being refused, Reyer Michiels and Teunis De Key, at Bayard's word, broke open the door and the Bartons were ousted and roughly handled.

With Bayard were also Nicholas Stuyvesant, Johannes Kip, Isaac Van Vleeck, Michiel Bastiaens and his wife, and sons Bastiaen, Reyer, Michiel, Hendrick Kiersen, and Jacques Tourneur. Also, “in the exploit” was Hannah (or Anna) Odell.

The Westchester authorities issued a warrant July 20th, “to take the bodies of the said Reyer Michiels, with the said complycetors”, but the church maintained its hold and the lands were ultimately sold.

Reyer Michielsen died in 1733, having had children, Michiel, Reyer, Hendrick, Teunis, Hannah, Mary, Sarah, Jane, Jacomyntie, Johannes, some of whom being called Michiels and others Reyers.

Notes:

Bastiaen Michielsen, always so styled in the town books, though in the church records usually called Bastiaen Kortright, remained in H., where he m. in 1689, Joiante, dr. of John La Montagne, dec. On Sept. 19, 1701, he bought from Peter van Oblienis, a tract of land at Sherman’s Creek, laid out to Oblienis in 1691, as lot No. 20. This became the well-known Kortright farm, which continued in the family till 1786. It was originally ten morgen, or twenty acres, and is so rated on the town books for the next half century; but this was exclusive (for meadows were never taxed) of the adjoining marsh, or the morasse creupelbos, of the original description. And, then, be it remembered, the allotments of 1691 generally overran the estimate, and this lot lying isolated was not likely to be an exception. This brought it up to 45 acres, 27 perches. Here Bastiaen Michielsen built and lived till very aged; at least, his name in the tax lists runs down to 1753. He also owned two pieces of meadow at Kingsbridge, bought of the town by Joh. Vermilye, Apl. 1, 1693, and on the same date transferred to Bastiaen, to whom the town gave a deed Jan. 4, 1700. Bastiaen Michielsen Kortright had issue, as far as appears, Michael, b. 1697; Johannes, b. 1702; Aefie, who m. John Devoor; and Rachel, who m. Isaac Delamontagne. Johannes Bastiaens, as he is properly styled in certain deeds, but calling himself (after his fa.’s patronymic) “Johannes Michelson Kortright,” m. Aeltie, dr. of John Vermilye, 2d. He was a weaver, but succeeded to the farm at Sherman’s Creek, which, in a mortgage given January 9, 1768, he describes as No. 20, and 10 morgen, and by the original boundaries of 1691. Within a year after, he removed to New York, and having lost his wife, appears to have died about 1775. His son, John Courtright, as he wrote his name, married in 1774, his cousin, Aefie, or Effie, daughter of John Devoor, of Hoorn’s Hook, and was last of the family to own the ancestral farm, of which he made sale, May 24, 1786, to Cornelius Harsen, who conveyed it, January 3, 1804, to Jacobus Dyckman, whence it came to his son, the late Isaac Dyckman. It was included in the tract of 128 acres (being part of said Isaac’s estate) called the Fort George Tract, which was parceled into lots, and disposed of by public sale, October 14, 1868.

Notes:

The largest sale of Bronx real estate which ever took place, involving a plot of 3,332 acres, or something over five square miles, to wit: the sale of the Manor of Fordham by the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in the City of New York, was inaugurated on September 29, 1753.

On this date a notice was nailed on the door of the English Parish Church in the village of Westchester by Joost Vredenburgh. We know little about Vredenburgh, except that according to his affidavit he was a shoemaker. His two official companions were farmers, Hendrick Michaels, who spells his own name "Magiesle", and Benjamin Corsen. Michaels was the ancestor of the present Ryer family, well known in Bronx real estate, one of Hendrick Michaels' sons having been named Ryer and the succeeding generation having taken their father's first name instead of his last. The descendents of Benjamin Corsen are known by the name of Corsa and both families continued to be active in the Fordham Manor Church. Hendrick Ryer was an Elder and James Corsa was a Deacon in the year 1823.

BY His Excellency GEORGE CLINTON, Esq. Governor of the state of New-York, General and Commander in Chief of all the Militia, and Admiral of the Navy of the same.

PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an inquisition taken before David I. Pell, Esq. one of the coroners of the county of West Chester, on the 18th day of May, instant, it appears that Isaac Smith, deputy sheriff of the said county, was on the 17th day of the said month, inhumanly murdered while in the due execution of his said office; and that a certain John Ryer, late of the town of Westchester, in the county of Westchester aforesaid, stands charged with the commission of the said horrid crime, and whereas it is represented to me that the said John Ryers hath fled from justice.

NOW THEREFORE, I have issued this my proclamation, hereby offering a reward of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to any person or persons who shall apprehend and deliver the said John Ryer to the keeper of the common gaol of the said county, so that he may be brought to justice. And I do by these presents strictly enjoin and require all officers, civil and military, and all other the good citizens of this state, to be aiding and assisting in the premises to the utmost of their power.

And do further hereby enjoin and require the Magistrates of the said county to cause to be apprehended (if that is not already done) every person who may have been in any way accessory to the said offence, who may have aided the said John Ryer in his escape, or who may have withheld that assistance which was required of them by the said deputy-sheriff in the execution of his said office, and which, by the law and their duty as good citizens, they ought to have rendered, in order that they may be held to answer for the same. GIVEN under my hand and the privy Seal at the city of New-York, this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year 1792, and in the sixteenth year of the independence of the said state.

GEORGE CLINTON.

Notes:

The Poe Cottage stood in the northwest corner of a small tract of about one acre, almost triangular in shape, originally and from a very early date, part of the farm of Hendrick Ryer. Some time before 1822 John Berrian came into possession of this plot, for in that year he sells it to Jonas Farrington for $500.00. This undoubtedly included the house, which seems to have been standing in April of 1816, for in that year Hendrick Ryer, conveying the adjacent farm to his son, Henry Ryer, describes the boundary line as running “southwest along a ledge of rocks to land of John Berrian at a Cedar Bush at the point of rock, and thence along Berrian’s land back of the house to the stone on the road to Kingsbridge marked “L.”

OBITUARY.

JOHN GARRISON RYER.

John Garrison Ryer, father of Police Sergeant John Ryer, and who had been substantially a resident of Yonkers all his life, died at Grasslands Hospital, Valhalla, yesterday. He was taken there nine days ago. For the past five years he has been an invalid, having suffered an apoplectic stroke. He made his home with his son John, at 93 Maple street. Heart failure is given as the cause of death.

Mr. Ryer was 71 years of age. He was born in Mosholu when it was a part of the town of Yonkers. He was a son of the late Abram and Elizabeth Ryer. His grandfather, Dennis Majory, for many years was the keeper of a toll-bridge at Kingsbridge. When his father died, Mr. Ryer, who was then a boy, came to Yonkers proper with his mother and his grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Majory. For sixty years Mr. Ryer lived at 247 New Main street. He was a graduate of School No. 2. He was a hat-cutter by trade, and worked in the different local factories. For thirty years he was employed by the Waring Company, and for a long time was foreman of one of the departments in the plant.

His wife, who was Miss Emma Van Orden, died about twenty-five years ago. Of the eight children only three survive – Sergeant Ryer, Cornelius Ryer of Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs. Hugh M. Stevenson, of Lincoln, Neb. There are also two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Parry of this city, and Mrs. Sarah Baguley of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

The funeral services will be held at his late residence, 93 Maple street, tomorrow afternoon; interment, Oakland Cemetery.

Notes:

CORNELIUS RYER IS MISSING FROM HOME.

Cornelius Ryer, the youngest son of Mr. John G. Ryer, of 252 Nepperhan avenue, has been missing from his home, since September 3, 1903. When his father and sister, left him in the morning for their work, he was in his usual frame of mind and showed no signs of a desire to go away. When they returned at noon he was not home, and as he sometimes went out into the woods with his companions, it was thought he was there then. He has not been seen since. The last place, he was known to go to, after leaving his own house was to Mrs. Miller’s at 63 Garfield street, with whom he used to live. He went on some errands for her and then left.

Any information leading to the discovery of his whereabouts will be thankfully received by his father.

Cornelius is 12 years of age. He is of fair complexion, very straight, light hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he had on a white straw hat, red waist with white dots, brown knickerbockers and black shoes and stockings. He is a pupil of No. 7 school.
