Here we have another family who lived in Ulster County, New York in the mid 1600s and also attended the Dutch Reformed Church. Jacobus Janse Decker was born in Kingston, Ulster, NY on the 22nd of May in 1671. Actually, Ulster County, NY wasn't officially formed until November 1, 1683. Its charter included the towns of Kingston, Hurley, Marbletown, Foxhall, New Paltz, and all villages, neighborhoods, and Christian habitations on the west side of the Hudson River. The Catskill Mountains occupy the north-west part of Ulster County and the Shawangunk Mountains extend north-east from the south-west corner of the county.
Jacobus' wife, Annetje Kortright, was born in 1678 in Rochester, Ulster, NY. The Town of Rochester is an interior town located near the center of Ulster County (Mid-Hudson region of New York). The northwest part of the town is in the Catskill Park.
Jacobus and Annetje had ten children. The first eight were born in Ulster County. Lea and Zolomon were born in Orange County, NY:
1696 Grietjen, our ancestor
1698 Hendrick
1701 Catherina
1705 Geertje
1706 Jacobus
1708 Johannes
1711 Sarah
1712 Benjamin
1717 Lea
1722 Zolomon
Annetje probably died giving birth to Zolomon in 1722 in Orange County, NY. Jacobus lived to be 90 years old! His death occurred in Minisink, Orange, NY in 1761.
