Six children gladdened their home — Stephanua, Maria (Mrs. Van Rensselaer), Sophia (Mrs. Teller), Catharine (Mrs. Derval, afterwards Mrs. Frederick Philipse), Cornelia (Mrs. Schuyler), and Jacobus. The latter married the step-daughter of the Herr Frederick Philipse, and was the ancestor of the Yonkers branch of the Van Cortlandt family. Be-side owning the Yonkers estate be was a large landed proprietor in the town of Bedford, Westchester County. He was an eminent merchant, and filled many offices in New York, holding that of Mayor from 1710 to 171!'. His son, Frederick, succeeded to the Yonkers estate, dying in 174!». By the will of Jacobus the estate devolved to his grand-son, James, a man held in the highest respect for his many good i|tialities and for the help generously extended during the troublous days of the Revolution, to his suffering neighbors. Dying childless in 17*1, the estate reverted to his brother Augustus, at whose death, in 1823, the prop-erty went into the female line, the descendants tak-ing the name of Van Cortlandt, and the present rep-resentative is Augustus Van Cortlandt.
