JORIS RYERSON (translated George Ryerson)2, (Martin1), the eldest son of Marten and Annetje (Rapelje) Ryerson was bap. in Brooklyn on Sept. 19, 1666: d. 1749. The sponsors at his bap. were Michael Hanzen and Catalina Jeronymus. He was evidently named in honor of his grandfather, Joris Jansen de Rapelje. Up to the time of his marriage (about twenty-four years of age), he resided in Breucklen (Brooklyn) at the Wallabout, no doubt at the home of his father. He then removed to Manhattan Island, now New York City, where he engaged in farming, first on a farm leased from Trinity Church, then on the Dey farm, and where he resided for some years, subsequently selling out in 1708 and removing to New Jersey, which was then a wilderness. Here, in company with Capt. Arent Schuyler and others, he purchased from the Indians 5500 acres in N. E. New Jersey, upon which land he settled. He married on June 26, 1690, Hannah (or Anneken) (Schouten) Dey, widow of Teunis Dey, and daughter of Johannes Schouten. She was born Mar. 17, 1666, and died May 17, 1743. Her first husband whom she married on Feb. 4, 1685, died in 1688, leaving three small children, besides a five acre farm running from Broadway to the water's edge in New York, which the present Dey St. divided in the middle. The three small Dey children were reared by George (Joris) Ryerson with his own family, and one of the daughters, Jane Dey, married a younger brother of her step-father, namely Frans Ryerson. Her brother Derick (Richard). Dey became the father of Col. Theunis Dey, who distinguished himself in the Revolution as an officer in the Army and member of the Continental Congress. Joris (George) Ryerson was a prominent man in the community and as early as 1715 was one of "His Majesty's Judges" for Bergen County.

After the death of his first wife, Hannah (Dey n‚e Schouten) Ryerson, Joris married in his old age, and his second wife was Hannah, or Susannah, widow of Abraham King, of Second River. Her maiden name was Susannah De Forest. Many old documents teeming with historic interest still exist concerning Mr. Ryerson's activity in colonial times of which the author has copies, but are too voluminous for other than mere mention in this genealogy.

Joris Ryerson was the father of ten children, and the step father of seven, three of the latter being his first wife's children, and four by his second wife's previous marriage. All of his own children were by his first wife, Hannah Ryerson.

Joris married SCHOUTEN, Hannah 11 Aug 1691. Hannah (daughter of SCHOUTEN, Johannis) was born 17/17 Mar 1665/1666; died 17 May 1743. [Group Sheet]
