I will address your requests together.Joost & Magdelena (Levre) Duryea came to LINY in 1675 from Germany, having been previously French Hugonots.Among their many children was Abraham Joosten Duryea b. 1685, who married Elizabeth Polhemus.Among Abraham & Eliz. children are three that I will mention.Daniel Duryea b. abt. 1710, Nelche Duryea b. abt 1711, & Joost Duryea b. 1715.One of the children of this Joost & his wife Catherine Schenck b. 1720 was Catherine Duryea b. bet. 1737-1763.
It appears that the Catherine who married Joseph Van de Water may be this Catherine Duryea.Certainly this Nelche Duryea is the one who married your John Terhune.
There is a Catherine Duryea desendant several generations later of the above Daniel Duryea who may or may not be the wife of Livingston Van de Water.
Any added information you may have would be helpful.
