Notes for Gerrit WYNKOOP
45. Gerrit Wynkoop, (Gerret 5, Cornelius 1,) baptized in Kingston, N. Y., November 29, 1702: married Susannah Van Vliet, whose name is recorded "Vlet," at the baptism of her son Johannes, in Bucks County, Penn. No child has been discovered later than 1736. Doctor James [177] was not his son, although the second edition of this genealogy conjectured that he was. James was son of Abraham
[52], by his second wife.
98 Christ Church, Phil. See also note to Helena [149].

100 A manuscript, made by a David Fulton, and dated November 29, 1855, narrates that David Fulton, the ancestor of the Fulton family, in this country, was an Ulsterman, who came to this country to escape persecution, and settled about one hundred miles northeastward from Boston. But the need of constant watchfulness against the savages worried him, and he sold his place, and purchased land about fifteen miles northeast of Philadelphia. He left three sons, David, Robert, and James, who removed to Virginia, and settled in Frederick and Loudoun counties. He had also a daughter, Hester, who married a Mr. Middleton.
Robert Fulton married, in Pennsylvania, a woman named Wyncoop, a descendant of an ancient family in Germany or Holland, wine-merchants -- hence the name, from wine and cup. A cane, in possession of one of the family, in 1824, is inscribed with their coat of arms, a merchant holding a cup of wine in his hand. [No -- the derivation is from the Netherland wyn, wine, and kooper, a buyer. -- COMPILER.]
See also Margaret Fulton, who married, in 1787, Cornelius Wynkoop [365]. Robert Fulton, the inventor, b. 1765, d. 1815, m. 1806, Harriet Livingston, was son of an immigrant from Kilkenny, Ireland.
