CORNELIS CORNELISE VAN DER HOEVE was born about 1642 in Holland,
possibly at Beest, the port from which the family sailed in 1661.
There is some conflict in the references in his early career since
several sources state that he was a magistrate in Bedford, Brooklyn
Township, in 1673. This, however, does not appear in O'Callahan's
Register of New Netherlands and, since his son of the same name later
occupied such a position, the reference is believed to pertain to the
latter. On the other hand, in the Early Records of Albany County, we
find that Cornelis purchased a house in Albany on 03Jun1672, where the
family apparently moved to, probably shortly after the death of his
elder brother. On 04Mar1677/8, Cornelis, having bought another house
in Albany, sold his first one. He was next recorded as attending (in
Oct1674) the funeral of the Patroon Jeremiah Van Rensselaer. The
Albany Court Minutes show his appointment as an official carter of
Albany on 04Apr1676, in which capacity he continued during 1678 and
1679. On 27Jun1681, he asked to be re-appointed carman since he
"suffered great misfortune through the sinking of his boat" and this
was done the following July 5th. Cornelis and a friend, on 02May1682,
contracted with his brother-in-law Jurian Caljer for the latter to
build them a 36-foot boat with four bunks, which was probably used in
river shipping. In his will, dated 05Sep1685, he named his wife Metje
Beekman (Metie Beechman) but not his children, who were to receive a
half share in the event she remarried.
