Sandra,

> Hollond and Catharine Hansen Weber b. 1653.

You have greatly confused me Sandra.  Maybe we are not talking about the same
Hendrik "Henry" CUTRIGHT.  The one was born in 1717 in Harlem, NY.  Husband to
Elizabeth Hornbeck and Father to John, Bejamin and Charity CUTRIGHT that hooked
up with Sam PRINGLE, some WESTFALLs and HORNBECKS and moved into Virginia as
Pioneers.  I believe Henry was right there with them, and died on the South
Branch of the Potomac River.  I am going to be in Moorfield tomorrow and would
love ot find his Grave, if I do, I will put flower on it for all of us.

Now, I have his line as being thus:
Henry's parents: Pieter Hendricksen KORTRIGHT and Marytjen "Mary" VAN GARDEN.
Pieter b. 1697
Pieter's parents: Hendrick Jansen KORTRIGHT Van BEEST and Catherine Hansen
WEBER.
Hendrick Jansen was was born ca 1648.
  Hendrick Jansen's Father was: Jan Bastiaensen Van KORTRYK, b.1618 in Kortryk,
West Flander Belgium.  That is as far back as I have gone.  Till I make a trip
to Begium, which would be cool!

Hendrick Jansen KORTRIGHT Van BEEST did have a son named Hendrick KORTRIGHT, b.
ca 1676.  He was not the one I mentioned above.  This is his Uncle.  Under the
children you mentioned above, he would be the second son, Hendrick Hendricksen
Kortright Jr.
He married twice, in 1700 to Marritje De WITT, he divorced her in 1702 and
remarried to
Catharina CROM 2 Dec 1703.  That is all I have for him.
