"Aug. 19, 1662, Hendrick Cornelissz Maessen and Marten Cornelissz Maesen, brothers, for themselves and for Maes Cornelis Maessen, Stijntie Cornelis Maessen and Tobias Cornelisz Maessen, their minor brothers and sisters, all living in the colony of Rensselaerswyck and children of the late Cornelis Maessen and Catelijntie Martensz, who died in this country and formerly lived at Bueren Malssen in gelderlant, execute a power of attorney to Gerrlt Cornelissz, living at Trlcht, in Gelderland, to receive an inheritance left by their uncle, Hendrlck Maessen, who died at Cuijlenborch.
   "On the same day, Jan Verbeeck, formerly councilor of the colony of Rensselaerswyck, and Cornelis Theunisz Bos, formerly magistrate of Fort Orange and the village of Beverwyck, make a joint affidavit that Cornelis Maessen and his wife died about 14 years ago and were both buried on the same day, leaving the aforesaid five children over whom the said Cornelis Theunisz Bos and Theunis Dircxsz [van Vechten], inhabitant of the colony, have thus far been guardians. Cornelis Theuniss Bos further states that he came to this country in 1636, in the ship Rensselaerswijck, in the service of the said Cornells Maessen and that he served him for six years; also that the said Hendrlck Cornelisz Maessen was born on the said ship (see p. 369 of this work [VWH - see a citation to Hendrick's birth]) and that the other children were born in the colony. Deeds, powers of attorney, etc., 1660-65, p. 15-17, 22-23, among the Rensselaerswyck Mss."
4. [S672] A. J. F. van Laer, Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts, In Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts, a footnote on p. 181 says "[Cornelis Maesen's] second son, Marten Cornelisz, has by Pearson and other writers been confused with Swarte Marten, or Black Marten, who from the mark he makes is readily identified with Marten Cornelisz van Ysselsteyn, one of the proprietors of land at Schenectady in 1663 and later one of the settlers of Claverack. This Marten Cornelisz van Ysselsteyn states in an affidavit of Oct. 28, 1660 (Notarial Papers, 1:36, Albany County clerk's office) that in his youth he had lived for many years at Houten, in the bishopric of Utrecht." This affidavit must be the reference used by Conkling ("Martin van Buren," NYGBR 28:207) when he states "Marten Cornelisse (son of Cornelis Maessen) . . . deposed in 1660 that he was born in Houten in the Province of Utrecht, and was probably not more than two years of age when his parents came to this country." In any event, Buren in Gelderland Province is about 31 km or 18 miles from Houten in Utrecht Province.

"Marten Cornelisse (son of Cornelis Maessen) . . . deposed in 1660 that he was born in Houten in the Province of Utrecht, and was probably not more than two years of age when his parents came to this country." Thsi was written in 1897 and corrected in 1908 Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts.
