The Brink Family in America (except those who have come with the recent Holland
emigration since 1846) are descended from Lambert Huybertsen (Brink), who arrived
in New Amsterdam in December, 1659, with the “de Trouw” (faith). The entry upon the
ship's books is " Lambert Huybertsen from Wagening [Wageningen], wife and two
children.” To these must be added a son, Cornelius, born on the voyage."
Lambert Huybertsen (Brink) was born in 1629 in Wageningen, Wageningen,
Gelderland, Netherlands. His family did not use “Brink” until after immigration to
America, but it is used here to clarify family lines. Wageningen is a town on the right
bank of the Rhine in Gelderland. It is about twelve miles from Arnhem. It contains the
state agricultural college and the school for forestry. These are beautifully situated on a
bluff.
His parents were Huybert LAMBERTSE and Jantsen JOOSTEN. He married
Hendrickje CORNELISSE about 1654 while in the Netherlands and before his
emigration to America. The Brink Family in America are descended from Lambert who
with his wife Hendrickje and children Huybert and Jannetje left the Netherlands 23 Dec
1660 aboard “de Trouw” (Faith).
Lambert died 1702 in Hurley, Ulster, NY.
A correspondent of Olde Ulster writes from Holland that the father of Lambert
Huybertsen (Brink) must have died within a year after the emigration of his son to
America as he finds a protocol on record of which he sends the following translation
“Protocol van Vestenisse Wageningen 1660. Enjoined at the Archives of the Kingdom at
Arnhem.
“Jantsen Joosten, widow of Huybert Lambertse, assisted by Claes Jansen, chosen by
her as her representative in rights, for one moiety, and Lambert Huyberts, Peter
Huyberts and the above named Claes Jansen as the husband and the representative in
right of his wife Gysbertjen Huyberts and also representing the minor brothers and
sisters of his wife, all heirs of the late Huybert Lambertse, their father, for the other
moiety, declare to have sold, transported and given in plain possession to Gerrit
Hindercamp and Aeltjen Foenissen, his wife, and their heirs, a certain house and
garden situated on Dolderbrinck, in the neighborhood of Wageningen, etc.” Here follows
the description. It is declared to be a free and heired estate.” It is dated 28 November,
166o.

Lambert Huybertsen [Brink]‘s father, Huybert Lambertsen [Brink], owned a home and
farm at Dolderbrink which was just outside the walled city of Wageningen, Netherlands
and he raised tobacco and sheep. This farm was sold 28 Nov 1660 after Huybert
Lambertsen Brink’s death by his heirs (wife Jannetje and children Lambert, Gysbertje,
Pieter). Many immigrants to America took their last place of residence as their surname
when surnames became required and Lambert Huybertsen’s family took “Brink”.
Hendrickje Cornelisse was born in 1639 in Reusel-de Mierden, Noord-Brabant,
Netherlands. Her parents may have been Cornelis Barentsen Van de CUYL and
Lysbeth ARENTS. Her parentage is disputed and other possible family lines for her to
have born into include , Vernooy, Osten, and Van Duyn. Hendrickje died in 1702 in
Hurley, NY.
The Lambert Huyberts mentioned must have been the one who emigrated to America
during the previous year. The family seems to have come to Wageningen from
Harderwyk, in the same province of Gelderland, a score or more miles north.
The word Brink means ” park, square or village green.” and the Brink family is very
numerous in the Netherlands. The name is in various forms as van den Brink (of the
Brink); van Brink (of Brink); Ten Brink (the Brink); Brinkhuis (Brink house); Brinkhorst
(Brink grove); Brinkenberg (mount Brink); Brinkerhoff (a paved square); Dolderbrink
(valley Brink). There are many country seats and villas in Holland with the name de
Brink or den Brink, among others a magnificent country seat near Arnhem called de
Brink (the park).
Frederik de Brincke and his sister Christina gave goods to the church of Keppel, in
Gelderland, in 1349. Lambert Brinck is mentioned in a charter of Duke Arnold of
Guelder in 1437. In 1503 another Lambert Brinck was master of the Sanct Crucis Guild
at Harderwyk. This family dwelt in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries principally at
Harderwyk, and several members were Burgomasters there.
Ernst Brink was the son of Dr. Alphert and was a very learned man and celebrated
antiquarian. He was born in Harderwyk in 1581. From 1612-15 he was the secretary of
the Dutch embassy at Constantinople, and from 1618-48 librarian of the University of
Harderwyk. His sister Elizabeth married Lambert van Domselaer.” The name of Lambert
was a favorite one in the family.
The arms of the family are thus described:
“d’argent an boeuf de gueules, corne’d'or, marchant surune terrassede sinople. Bourlet
et lambrequens d’argent et de gueules. Cinier: une corbeille d’or en sortent des
flamines de feu.”
Arriving at New Amsterdam Lambert Huybertse (Brink) had the son born at sea
baptized Cornelis and then his family traveled up the Hudson River to the Esopus
(name of river and Algonquin Indian tribe) area to Wiltwyck (soon Kingston). He was
one of the first settlers at Nieuw Dorp (soon Hurley) and in 1662 signed a five year
lease with the Dutch West India Company (GWC) Director Stuyvesant on land there
west of the creek.
In the Spring of 1662, Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Governor of Niew Amsterdam,
established the village of Niew Dorp on the site of an earlier Native American
Settlement. On 7 Jun 1663, during the Esopus Wars the Esopus Indians attacked and
destroyed the village, and took captives who were later released. England took over the
Dutch Colony on 6 Sep 1664. On 17 Sep 1669, the village, abandoned since the
Esopus Indian attack, was resettled and renamed Hurley. It was named after Francis
Lovelace, Baron Hurley of Ireland.
After Director Stuyvesant declared war on the Esopus Indians and attacked and killed
and captured and shipped some out as slaves, the Indians retaliated with the 7 Jun
1663 destroying of Nieuw Dorp [Hurley] and Wiltwyck in which they burned and killed
and took captives including Lambert’s wife Hendrickje (pregnant) and children Hytbert,
Jannetje, and Cornelis who were rescued after about 3 months.
In 1667 at the end of his land lease agreement, Lambert purchased the land he had
leased and more land also from the English who had taken over in 1664 (and mandated
surnames) and the deed was dated 5 Aug 1667 and was filed at Kingston, NY. Nieuw
Dorp, at that time, included parts of present-day Rosendale, Marbletown, Woodstock,
and New Paltz. The area was settled around 1669 but received its patent (to Henry
Beekman, Thomas Garton, and Charles Brodhead) only in 1703. The community of
Marbletown once served briefly as the state capital. The Town of Marbletown is near the
center of Ulster County, southwest of the City of Kingston.
Lambert was one of the Dutch settlers to protest their treatment by the British military in
the “mutiny at the Esopus” in 1667. The Wiltwyck document concerning this was signed
by 31 men including Lambert on 28 Apr 1667.
He was one of the Protesting burghers at what Governor Nicolls called "the mutiny at
the Esopus" in 1667 and one of the inhabitants of the Esopus Who petitioned Governor
Sir Edmond Andros in 1680 that a minister be sent there. His wife and three children
were captured at the burning of Hurley by the Indians June 7th, 1663, and were
captives three months, and he served as a soldier in Captain Henry Pawling's company
in 1670. Lambert Huybertsen Brink was a soldier in Henry Pawlings company in 1670.
Lambert’s name frequently appears in the records of the Schout’s Court in various
capacities. His name is signed as witness twice to the renewals of the celebrated
Indian treaty negotiated in 1665 by Governor Nicolls. He was one of the protesting
burghers at what Governor Nicolls called “the mutiny at the Esopus” in 1667.
He is a Witness to the Indian treaty made in Hurley in 1677, purchasing parts of
present-day New Paltz, Rosedale, Esopus, and Lloyd, upon which the New Paltz Patent
is based. New Paltz was founded in 1678 by French Huguenots, including Louis
DuBois, who had taken refuge in Mannheim, Germany, for a brief period of time before
coming to America.
Lambert was one of the inhabitants of the Esopus who petitioned Governor Sir Edmond
Andros in 1680 that a minister be sent there.
He had charge, for some time, of the lands in the Esopus of Director Petrus Stuyvesant,
and at one time leased one of his farms there. The homestead farm of Lambert
Huybertse Brink was the farm of the late Peter P. Brink, west of the creek at Hurley, and
during these two hundred and forty-four years since it came into the possession of the
family has never passed out of it. Across the road lies the farm of the late James D.
Wynkoop which, like the Brink lands, has never passed from the family since 1662.
On 27 April 1689 Lambert Huybertsen Brink “makes over” to sons Huybert and Pieter
324 acres at Hurley and on 09 March 1702 “makes over” to son-in-law Cornelis Cool
(husband of daughter Jannetje) 63 acres at Hurley, NY.
On 12 Feb 1696, Lambert Huybertse (Brink) made and executed his last will and
testament, which will was proved on 11 Apr 1702. Son Hendrick was not in the will and
is presumed to have died before it was written. Son Gerrit was not in the will and this is
a mystery to researchers as is the fact that his descendants went by the surname
“Terpenning”. Lambert is believed to have been buried at the Dutch Reformed Bruial
Ground at Hurley, but no proof had been found.The old cemetery in Old Hurley contains
some very ancient slabs of redstone adjacent to the graves of generations of the family
on which may be traced initials of the early members of the family dying more than two
hundred years ago. The will is written in Dutch from which the below is translated.
Be it known hereby to everybody, that to-day, the 12th day of February in the year of our Lord 1695/6, I,
Lambert Huybertse, of Hurley in the county of Ulster; well in body and in full power and use of my mind
and memory, (praised be the Lord), considering the shortness and frailty of human life, the certainty of
death and the uncertain hour thereof, and desiring to set everything in order, make this my last will and
testament, in manner and form as follows: Revoking, annulling, declaring null and void, all and every
testament and testaments, will and wills, heretofore made and passed, either verbally or in writing, and
this alone to be taken far my last will and testament and no other.
First, I commend my soul to God Almighty, my Creator, to Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, and to the
Holy Spirit my Sanctifier, and my body to the earth, whence it came, to be buried in a Christian
manner, and there to, rest until my soul and body shall be reunited on the last day and enjoy the
eternal joy of immortality, which God in his grace has promised and prepared by the only merits
of our Saviour, for all who truly repent and believe in him. Concerning such worldly state of
houses, lands, money, goods, accounts or what further belongs to my estate, which the Lord has
been pleased to grant me beyond my merits, I order, give, and dispose thereof in form and
manner following:
First, it is my wish and will, that all my honest debts shall, in due time, be paid.
Secondly, I give to my youngest son, Pieter Lambertse two horses, also, that the house in which
he lives, shall be finished in garret, floor doors, windows, etc., out of my estate without anything
being paid therefor to my other heirs. I further give to my said son, his order, heirs, or
administrators, one just fifth part of my whole estate.
Thirdly, I give to my sons, Huybert Lammerse and Cornelis Lammerse, and to my sons-in-law,
Cornelis Cool and Arien Gerretsen, one just fifth part of my whole estate, to dispose, each for
himself, of said fifth part of my estate, as he pleases, only under this condition, that Arien
Gerretsen shall have and enjoy the just fifth part of my land, lying next to the land belonging to
him, and that in consideration of the fertility of this land my other four heirs shall have and enjoy in
ownership my house, barn, &c., without paying therefor anything to said Arie Gerretse. but they
shall divide in equal shares all other movable estate among themselves
Fourthly, I appoint as executors of this my last will and testament my said heirs, to-wit, Huybert
Lammertse,Cornelis Lammerse, Pieter Lammerse, Cornelis Cool, and Arie Gerretse, demanding
this my foregoing testament shall be fully obeyed and carried out. Thus done at Kingston on the
day and year as above.
Before signing and passing this it is my wish that my son-in- law Cornelis Cool shall have in one piece
two shares of the land occupied by me, to wit, the one now made over to him, and the other bought by
him from my son Lammert Huybertse.LAMMERT HUYBERTSE Signed, sealed and published by
Lammert Huybertse as being his last will and testament in our presence. WESSEL TEN BROECK,
JACOBIS LAMETER, ARIE ROOSE. [Proved 11 April 1702].
Children
1. Huybert Lambertsen (Brink)
Huybert’s wife Hendrickje Swartwout (m. 16 March 1679) was born 8 Jun 1658 in
Wiltwick, Ulster, New York. Her parents were Roeloff Swartwout and Eva
Albertse Bradt. Hendrickje died 28 May 1699 in Hurley, Ulster, New York.
Huybert was in Captain Gorsonnes Company of footmen along with his father
and brother Cornelis. On 27 April 1689 Huybert Lambertsen Brink’s father
“makes over” to he and brother Pieter 324 acres of land at Hurley, NY and
Huybert Lambertsen Brink inherited and stayed on the home farm there. In 1710
Huybert Lambertsen Brink was taxed at Hurley for 1 chimney and 1 stove and 1
slave. In 1711 Huybert Lambertsen Brink volunteered for a military expedition to
Canada under Captain Ten Broek and there is no more in the colonial records
after this pertaining to Huybert Lambertsen Brink. Huybert Lambertsen Brink’s is
the oldest grave marker still identifiable at the Dutch Reformed Church Burial
Ground at Hurley.

3. Cornelis Lambertsen Brink Cornelis Lambertsen Brink was born on the
ship as his parents and two siblings were coming to the new world. His parents and
siblings Huybert and Jannetje left The Netherlands 23 Dec 1660 aboard “de Trouw”
(Faith). The entry upon the ship’s books is ” Lambert Huybertsen from Wagening
[Wageningen], wife and two children.” To these must be added a son, Cornelius, born
on the voyage.
Cornelis was baptized in New Amsterdam 4 May, 1661. His parents were Lambert
Huybertse BRINK and Hendrickje CORNELIS Cornelius. He was captured, with his
mother and his brother and sister by Indians. They were held three months before their
release. It was his children that started to use the name Brink. He married Marijken
Egbertse MEYNDERSE in Kingston 23 April, 1685. Cornelis purchased a tract of land
between the Esopus and Plattekill creeks in the south part of the present town of
Saugerties on 6th of February, 1688. He thus became one of the earliest permanent
settlers of that town. Cornelis died in 1725 in Hurley, Ulster, NY.
The village land of “Saugerties” was obtained from Esopus Indian Kaelcop, chief of the
Amorgarickakan Family. Governor Andros purchased the land on April 27, 1677, for the
price of a piece of cloth, a blanket, some coarse fiber, a loaf of bread, and a shirt. The
village was incorporated in 1831 as “Ulster,” but it changed its name to “Saugerties” in
1855. In 1710, during the Palatine immigration, over 3,000 German Palatines were sent
here by the English Crown to manufacture naval stores, tar, and turpentine.
Marijken Egbertse Meynderse was born 27 April, 1661 in New Amsterdam, Queens,
NY. Her parents were Egbert MEYNDERSE and Jaepe JANS. Marijken died 8 Mar
1726 in Kingston, Ulster, NY

The earliest known sale of land in the region of the Esopus involved a parcel sold by the
Esopus Indians to Thomas Chambers, a carpenter and farmer residing at that time in
Rensselaerswyck. The patent was confirmed on 5 Jun 1652. Though out the early
history of the settlement, the presence of the Indians cast an ominous pall over the
whole community. They were particularly vulnerable in their scattered houses and were
often at fault for the bad relations. Director-General Peter Stuyvesant recognized the
danger to them, and at his urging the settlers signed a bond on 31 May 1658, agreeing
to erect a palisaded village and demolish their separate dwellings. Then on the night of
20 Sep 1659, a group of settlers and soldiers senselessly shot three Indians, killing one
of them. The result was the First Esopus War, which did not end until the signing of a
peace treaty on 15 Jul 1660.
Despite the war and the uneasiness of the ensuing peace, the population of the
community continued to grow. By 2 May 1661, the hamlet had been named Wildwyck
by Stuyvesant. About May of 1662 a second community was established nearby, called
Nieuw Dorp (New Town) [now Hurley] which was settled by former residents of
Beaverwyck and Wildwyck. The farmland bought by Evert Pels was between Wildwyck
and Nieuw Dorp.
The fragile peace ended on 7 Jun 1663, when the Indians burned Nieuw Dorp and
attacked Wildwyck. On that morning a number of Esopus Indians entered Wildwyck
[now Kingston] to sell their produce, corn and beans to the settlers, between 11 and 12
in the forenoon, some people on horseback, rushed thru the Mill gate, from the New
Village, crying out “the Indians have destroyed the New Village.” Upon hearing this, the
Indians fired a shot and attacked the settlers at each house with axes, tomahawks, rifles
and pistols. Sixteen settlers were killed and a number were carried off as
prisoners including Cornelis’ mother Hendrickje (pregnant) and her children Hytbert,
Jannetje, and Cornelis who were rescued after about 3 months.
1 Sep 1689 – Oath of Allegiance, Ulster County, NY
6 Feb 1688 – Cornelis Lambertse purchased a tract of land between the Esopus and
Plattekill creeks in the southern part of the present town of Saugerties, NY. He was the
first permanent settler of that town
30 Dec 1701 – Cornelis Lammertse signed the “Petition of the Protestants of New-York
to King William III” complaining of injustices in the English government of New York.
21 Jul 1706 -Cornelis Lambertse and Marytie Ekbertse appear as witnesses at the
baptism of Margery, daughter of Saomon Schut and Jannetie Chissam at Kingston,
Ulster, NY.

Egbert was the first of the American Brink family to abandon the custom of using his
father’s name as a surname, and resume the family name of the Netherlands. Egbert
Brink was one of the assistant trustees of the town of Marbletown in 1738 and his name
appears as one of those who organized the Reformed Dutch Church of Marbletown in
1743. He lived to be one of the signers of the Articles of Association of the patriotic
citizens of Ulster County on the 9th of June, 1775. Preceding his residence in
Marbletown he lived in the town of Hurley where he served as one of the 146 trustees of

Jacob Brink was listed as a soldier in the foot company of the Militia of the
Corporation of Kingston in 1738. He is listed in 1755 as owning three slaves:
Dick, Charles, and Peg.
The spire at the Dutch Reformed Church in Kingston, New York was even higher
when Jacob and Annatje were married there in 1722.
Jacob and Annatje were married at the The Old Dutch Church, officially known
as the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Kingston, located on Wall
Street in Kingston, New York, United States. Formally organized in 1659, it is one
of the oldest continuously existing congregations in the country. Its current
building, the fifth, is an 1852 structure by Minard Lafever.. The church’s 225-foot
steeple, a replacement for a taller but similar original that collapsed, makes it the
tallest building in Kingston and a symbol of the city,

In the 1663 Esopus War, Albert Gerretson was wounded and his house was burned.

Arien was a Justice of the Peace and Judge of the Ulster County Probate Court before
1725
The area is now Midwood, Brooklyn, derived from the Dutch word, “Midwout” (middle
woods), the name the settlers of New Netherland called the area of dense woodland
midway between the towns of Boswyck (Bushwick) and Breuckelen (Brooklyn). Later, it
became part of old Flatbush, situated between the towns of Gravesend and Flatlands.

Pieter’s wife Geertruy Matthysen Teunissen (Newkirk) was born 18 Sep 1671 in Bergen,
New Jersey. Her parents were Mattheus Cornelisse Van Nieuwkercke and Anna Lubi.
Geertruy died 20 Feb 1759 in Minisink, Sussex, New Jersey.
Historically, the name Minisink, which dates to the mid 17th century, has applied to a
much larger area than the current town, running as far north as Minisink Ford, twenty
miles northwest of present day Minisink, south to the Delaware Water Gap, thirty miles
southwest of present day Minisink, and from the Kittatinny Ridge to the east to
the Poconos to the west. The Minisink Patent, granted in 1704, was a somewhat
smaller area, but still far larger than the present town, which was given its present
boundaries in 1800. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the New York – New Jersey
border was previously seven or eight miles north of its present location: Minisink, now in
New York.
