Johannes Kip who married Catherina Kierstede was born
in 1655. His parents were Jacob Hendrickszen Kip b: May
16, 1631 Amsterdam, Holland, m: February 14, 1654 New Amsterdam,
NY to Maria De La Montagne b: January 26, 1637 Amsterdam, Holland.
Jacob's parents were Hendrick Hendrickszen Kip b: abt 1600
Holland and Tryntie Droogh(4496). Maria's parents were Dr. Johannes
De La Montagne b: 1492 and Rachel Monjour.
Hendrick Kip, bap. Feb. 8, 1654. Mr. Holgate in his American
Genealogy, pages 110-112, says that he and Jacobus (Jacob) Kip,
his brother, were co-patentees of the Manor of Kipsburg, a tract
of land on the east side of Hudson river where Rhinebeck now stands,
extending four miles along the river and several miles inland.
This patent dated June 2, 1688, confirmed an indian title to the
land given July 28, 1686. He was probably the Lieut. Hendrick
Kip of Capt.Baltus Van Kleeck's Company of Foot, in 1700, one
of the eight Militia Companies in the counties of Ulster and Dutchess.1
He married and had a number of children who settled in the vicinity
of Rhinebeck.

Anna Kip bap. June 17, 1694 Albany; m. at Albany, Nov. 29,
1716, Johannes Evertse Wendel
Cateyntje Kip bap. Aug. 8, 1697 at Albany m. 1719(?) her cousin,
Anthony Kip
Jacob Kip, bp. Aug. 29, 1666. He is probably the Jacobus Kip
born Aug. 25, 1666, mentioned by Holgate as the co-patentee with
Hendrick (9) of the Manor of Kipsburg, and who died Feb. 28, 1753.
Mr. Holgate makes the mistake which is followed by Bishop Kip
in saying that he was twice married, and first to Mrs. Henrietta
(Hendrickje) Wessels, widow of Gulian Verplanck. It was his cousin
Jacobus (18) who married this lady. He married Rachel Swartwout,
and though Bishop Kip calls her the daughter of John Swarthout
(Swartwout), Esq., I think it more probably that she was the dau.
of Roeloff Swartwout, first Sheriff of Wiltwyck, at the Esopus,
and commissioned Dec. 24, 1689, a Justice of Ulster County. Both
Bishop Kip and Mr. Holgate give the date of birth April 10, 1669
and her death Sept. 16, 1717. She was living Oct. 2, 1726, and
with her husband, then called Jacob Kip, Senior, was sponsor at
the baptism of Rachel, daughter of their son Isaac.
They had issue:
Isaac Kip, born Jan. 8, 1696; m. Jan. 7, 1720, Cornelia, dau.
of Leonard and Elizabeth (Hardenburg) Lewis; she was born Nov.
9, 1692; bap. Dec. 11, 1692, and died July 10, 1772; he died July

dau. of Francis and Anneke (Lynsen) Marschalk, of New York; she
was bap. July 30, 1732; through them Bishop Kip of California
traces his ancestral line.
