Joris and Catalyntie were among the first settlers of New Amsterdam. They arrived on the first ship "the Eendracht" (The Unity) sent out by the West India Company, and Joris is referred to in colonial literature as one of the Twelve Men representing the New Netherlands in 1641.
Joris and Catalyntie resided for three years, until 1626 in Albany, then
removed to New Amsterdam, where they remained for more than 22 years (occupying and owning a house and lot on the north side o f present Pearl Street - lower Manhattan-East Side near Wall Street-, and butting against the south wall of the fort, for which he received a patent on the 18 of March, 1647), and until after the birth of his youngest child in 1650.
