Dear Sharon,
There appears to be a genealogical "drift" in your family information here, for which, nonetheless, I am grateful that you would make your post.
There were two immigrants to New York, Joost Duryea (var. sp.) and Jan Durie. The former came over in advance of the other by several years. But, there is no indication that they shared common ancestry. This seems apparent by the fact that neither had any interaction with the other--despite the cultural norms, either here or abroad.
That is to say, one might reasonably expect that there would be either record of mutual interaction between these fellows, especially regarding religious ceremonies of offspring or grandchildren, but this is not demonstrable.
Jan^1 Durie started out in New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York, but moved to northern New Jersey early on, with his Huguenot brethren under Demaree. Joost^1 Duryea,instead, arrived on Long Island, and stayed there, as did his children, throughout their lives. Again, the signicance here is that there is no apparent interaction between these two fellows and their families at a time when such interaction would be, if not mandatory, at least expected.
If the "two brothers" scenario I have just mentioned is a part of your research, I would urge you to disassemble that faux connection.
Meanwhile, the data you have gathered may be extreemly important for either students of Jan^1 Durie or Joost^1 Duryea. Format is unimportant in these deliberations, though it is admirable that you would consider your intended recipients.
In other words, I hope that you will consider making your documented presentation here at the Duryea Family GenForum without concern for the format. Your readers can always ask questions should such derive.
Yours,
Richard
