ISAAC AND JANNETJE MAURITZ DAVIDS

Isaac and Jannetje were both born in Ulster County, New York in towns near one another. Their families probably attended the same church called "The First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Kingston". Jannetje was born in Kingston on the 18th of June in 1671. Isaac was born in 1668 in Marbletown. Kingston is home to many historic churches. The oldest church still standing is the one I named above, which was organized in 1659.  So, naturally, they were married in this church on the 13th of November in 1692. They had the following children:

Marietje (1692-) 
Angelica (1694-1733) 
Christoffer (1697-1709) 
Jennetje (1699-1770) 
Frederick (1701-1778) 
Joris (1704-1774), our ancestor, born in Marbletown 
Samuel (1706-1796) 
Christoffel (1709-) was christened at the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, nickname "Stoffel" (Perhaps Christoffer's nickname was "Stoffer"?)
Issac (1711-) 
Benjamin (abt. 1712)) 

Kingston is a city in and the county seat of Ulster County, New York, United States. It is 91 miles (146 km) north of New York City and 59 miles (95 km) south of Albany.

History of Marbletown, NY, copied from Wikipedia:
By 1672, there were fifty-three houses on the site of the village of Marbletown, most of them log dwellings. The surface of the town was hilly upland, broken by valleys and streams. The Esopus flows through the northern part, while the Rondout runs through the southeast corner with a fall at High Falls.

The Town of Marbletown is located in the central portion of Ulster County on the eastern edge of the Catskills and the northern edge of the Shawangunk Mountains. Marbletown’s scenic landscape, mountain views and abundant farmland help define its rural character. The Town is rich in architectural heritage, boasting four nationally registered historic districts. 

It seems that the Davids family lived in a lovely environment.

Étaples or Étaples-sur-Mer ([etapl]; Dutch: Stapel) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. It is a fishing and leisure port on the Canche river.

Étaples takes its name from having been a medieval staple port (stapal in Old Dutch), from which word the Old French word Estaples derives. As a port it was part of the administrative and economic complex centred on Montreuil after access from the sea to that town was restricted by silting.[Wikipedia]

BOURGON BROUCARD

Bourgon Broucard, our seventh great grandfather, was born on Mar 1, 1645 at Bungary, near LaRochelle, France on the western seacoast near the Bay of Biscay. (Brouckaert means living at the  lowlands.)  Bourgon was from an honored and noted French family.

Bourgon Broucard was a Huguenot, a follower of John Calvin, who left France for Germany seeking religious freedom, prior to 1664. He had one child by his first wife there, and three children by his second wife there before moving to Amsterdam, Holland between 1672 and 1675.

His first wife was Marie du May, who he married on Dec 1, 1663 at the Walloon Church in Manheim, Germany. She died at Manheim.

His second wife was Catherine LeFevre, who he married on Dec 18, 1666. She was the daughter of Abraham LeFevre and Antoinette Jerrian. 

Bourgon and wife, Catherine, and children immigrated in 1675 on the "Gilded Otter," settled in what is now Brooklyn, New York. They moved to Cripplebush in Bushwick, Long Island, where he bought a farm. [ In 2018: Bushwick is a working-class neighborhood in the northern part of the New York Cityborough of Brooklyn. It was first founded and settled during Dutch colonial times.]

Four years later, he sold-out, then in 1692 purchased another farm in Dutch Kills (now a part of Long Island City).  In 1677, he was listed among the members at the settlement of Domine Casparus Van Zuuren in Kings County Breuckelyn, Midwout, New Amersfoort, New Utrecht.    He bought more land in Mospeth Kills, Newtown. Bourgon Broucard was one of the founders of the French Church of New York.

On May 9, 1702, he and his son-in-law, John Coverson, bought 2000 acres of land in Somerset County, New Jersey. The land was bounded on the north and northwest by the Raritan and Millstone Rivers. They purchased this land from William Dockwra, a London merchant. This photograph of the Raritan and Millstone Rivers, from Wikipedia, gives an idea of where their property must have been.

 Bourgon  died in 1720 in Bushwick, Long Island, New York about the age of 75, and was buried on the bank of the Raritan River in New Jersey, where the Millstone River empties into it.
