Just finally got around to reading the original entry in this line.
Jacob Clute, son of Gerrit and Machtelt Heemstraat Clute.. He was born 18 January 1736, Halfmoon, Albany, NY. He died 3 March 1796 and he was always called a farmer. There is a manuscript at Schenectady Historical Society, which lists some of his children.
His Marriage Bond was 29 May 1761 and his Marriage 12 June 1761. He married Mayke Lansing ( daughter of Hendrick Lansing and Annatje Ouderkerk). The first three children were baptised in HalfMoon and the next 4-9 was in Schaighticoke.
Their son Hendrik, born 27 Oct 1765 married Elizabeth Schoutin on 11 Feb 1790 in Rennssalaer.NY. There is some additional evidence, that seems to indicate that Hendrick first married Anna Crossit and had a daughter Caty in Fonda.
There is a will in Vol 1, No. 4 1984 in Saratoga, County. Jacob of Halfmoon, Saratoga 1796, 3 March. letters of Administration granted to Henry and Richard Clute on Petition of Mother Mayke.
This Jacob was an observer of Highways in 1777. His bondsmen for the marriag were Dirk Brat Van Schoonhaven and Cornelius Van Santvord.
Jacob son of Gerrit Clute and Marritje Heemstraat ( I know, but there were really two Gerrit Clutes in this period , who married sisters). He was born ca 1747and married Cornelia Van Valkenberg.
Schenectady children: Gerrit 9 Jun 1765, Maria 12 Jun 1768 and possibly Ariantje. This same man seems to have then been inKinderhook and had Sarah 4 Nov 1759,Hendrik 29 Aug 1762 and another child born 19 Sept 1776. My notes are obscure, but the name seems to start with an L..
I know that Hendrik who married Elizabeth had some children, but have never had a name for any of them.
Now I have a Henry Clute who lived in Providence, Saratoga, He was born about 1794. His parents were a Jacob Clute and either Sarah Platto or Mayke Lansing. He died in 1880. According to a descendet he was orphaned at an early age and live dwith the Hagedorn family. He was was married to Eunice Perry and then Sarah Moorehouse.Did not have a son Richard.
Now I have a Richard born about 1792, lived Wayne, Arcadia and Albany. I found some pension records for him and the census. He married Mary Jeffers on 20 Sept 1817 in Montgomery. I only have Martha 1839 and Rachel 1833. This could be Solomon Jeffers parents.
My notes on Solomon Jeffers say he was bp. 16 April 1827 and was the son of Dirk Clute and Phoebe Hammond..Will check out this couple next time I get some extra moments.
