• Notes

  Rutger Joesten Van Brunt, came from Holland in 1653 and was the common ancestor of the Van Brunt's in America. He was among the first settlers in New Utrecht on Long Island in 1657 and a farmer by occupation. The most plaussible deriviation for the name is from Brunt a local name near Dreumel in the province of Gelderland, in that part called Neder-Betuwe. He married for his first wife, Tryntje (Caterine) Claes, the widow of Stoffel Harmensen Van Borculo (now Barkalow) and had by her three son, Nicholas, Joost (or George), and Cornelius.
