• Notes

  This is the original Brinkerhoff coming to the US in 1638. The name was spelled Brinckerhoff for the first few generations and some branches still spell it that way. I have heard that it originally was van Brinckerhoff but the van was dropped when they migrated to the US. Joris Dirkcsz Brinckerhoff sailed to New Amsterdam in 1641 aboard the ship Den Eichenboom (The Oaktree). The family name originated in Holland from their position around the 14th century as royal messengers, bringer(messenger) hoffe(court). Settled on Staten Island, 1638 under conttract with Cornelius Melyn, owner; Moved to Long Island Aug 15, 1641 after murderous Indian attack, later to Brooklyn. Owner large farm in heart of now Brooklyn.
