Cornelis Van Vorst was in New Netherland as early as 8 Sep 1634 ("Promisory note of Cornells van Vorst In favor of Mr. Cock," New York Historical Manuscripts: Dutch translated by Arnold van Laer, Vol 1, p. 178). In History of Hudson County it is said that he may have been a brother of Jan Van Vorst, that his second wife was Vrouwtje Ides (without any dates) and gives the four children found here. Without other information, this work gives the first two known children of Cornelis (both born in The Netherlands) to his unidentified first wife and the later two children to Vrouwtje Ides. Both of these, Ide and Annetje, had children named Cornelis and Vrouwtje.3,4
