Huyken, and the next year removed to Gowanus, in Brooklyn, of which town he was afterwards a trustee. His wife dying Mar. 1, 1709, in her 40th yr., he m. Christiana Gerbrands, June 14, 1714. He d. in 1754, leaving, besides daughters, sons Gerrit, b. Sep. 6, 1691: William b. Mar. 26, 1693, and Cornelius, b. Feb. 12, 1709, who d. in Brooklyn at an advanced age, without issue. He bore the character of an energetic, business man, but was remarkable for his humor. When the Revolutionary troubles began, he inclined to the whig couse, but finally espoused that of the king, served as a captain of militia under the British, and at the peace retired with his family to Nova Scotia, where he died.
