According to information gleaned, mostly, from documents in this collection, it appears that Jan Fort [Laffort; La Fort; Laford; Libertee; Libbertee; Vandervort] (1650-1707) married Margreit [Margrieta; Margaret] Rinckhout (1658-1734), daughter of Jan Rinckhout and Eva Rinckhout. Jan and Margreit had at least three children: John [Jan], David and Abraham (1695- ), and, in the early 1700s, lived on land on the Maquak [Mohawk?] River near Canastagiaene [Canistagajonie], Albany County, New York.
Margrieta was the sister of Elizabeth (Mrs. Karell Hansen) Toll and Gertruy (Mrs. Simon) Groot and Jurrian Rinchhout [Rinckhout]. Their father was Jan Rinchhout [Rinckhout].
By 1717 a Jacob Fort was living on a farm at Schaatekook (Schaghticoke), Albany County.
In 1728 a Jan Fort is listed in a quitclaim of land on the north side of the Moaks [Mohawk?] River, at Konistageishche, Albany County, as the deceased father of Jan, Daniel, Nicolaes [Nicholas] and Ysaak [Isack].
In 1783 a John N. Fort is a farmer living Nistigaune [Nestiguana; Niskayuna] in the Clifton Park Patent, Albany, New York. In 1837 a Daniel J. Fort is mentioned in a document issued by the surrogate of Onondaga County, and a Garrit [Gartt; Garret; Garrett] Fort is mentioned in 1838, 1839, 1848, and 1852 documents from Fabius, Onondaga County.
This collection of land papers relates to lands currently in Albany, Saratoga, and Onondaga counties in New York State, focusing on Shenendehowa, the Clifton Park Patent, and Fabius. It includes deeds, leases, quit claims, mortgages, and bonds and also a limited number of wills, letters of administration, and receipts. An index to names found in the documents follows the calendar.
