Van BurenThe original settler of the Van Buren family did not bear the name Van Buren.It was not the custom, when he came to America, 1631, for Netherlanders to have a family name except in rare cases.The Dutch of New Netherland, after the succession of the English in 1664, began to adopt family surnames, generally taking the name of the place from which they or their parents emigrated in Holland, using the prefix "Van," which is Dutch for of or from.Thus it was no doubt, with the second generation of the Van Buren family in America, the father of whom was Cornelis Maessen -Maes or Maas, being the Christian name of his father, the suffix "sen" or "se" signifying son.
Cornelis Maessen either emigrated from Buren, a village of the province of Gelderland, Holland, or was a native of that place.During the summer of 1631 he sailed for America in the ship "Rensselaerwyck" having with him his young wife, Catalyntje Martense, (daughter of a man namedMarten) and had at least one son named Marten.A second son, Hendrick, is said to have been born on the voyage.They settled on a farm a little below Greenbush, at a place called Papsknee, leasing a farm from the Patroon Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, who had been granted large tracts comprising large portions of the present counties of Albany and Rensselaer, then called Rensselaerwyck.He and his wife dies in 1648, and the records show they were buried the same day.He died intestate, and the children were placed under guardians.His estate consisted in part of property in New York City, which is now between Fourteenth and Christopher streets.Children mentioned in legal papers:Marten C., see forward:Hendrick, Maes, Styntje.
