I'm trying to track the death of Jacobus Durie (bp. 24 Jun 1744 at Schraalenburgh) and m. 1765/66 to Geesje Demarest (bp. 23 Sept 1744). Jacobus Durie was the son of Jan Durie, the Loyalist, and Jannetje Peek (whose father, Jacobus Peek,and brother, Samuel Peek, were also Loyalists). I don't have access to the Durie Family book but would like to know if it says anything about his death. He appears to have died in about 1775 -- or at least before 1776 when Geesje remarried Abraham Blauvelt. My gggggrandmother Osseltje Durie is one of Jacobus and Geesje Durie's children and m. to Walter Clendenny. What happened to Jacobus Durie? Was he killed for being a Loyalist? Apparently his father, a Loyalist, went to NYC, Canada, Maryland and eventually back to NJ. And was Blauvelt (Geesje's second husband) a Loyalist, too? I'm so confused that I'm making myself crazy. Seems Osseltje's brothers changed spellings to Duryea after the Revolution. Was this the embarrassment of being the children of Loyalists? Does anyone have anything on the Duryea spelling? Thanks.
