We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

    • His occupation is given as Painter in his 1834 marriage record to Maatje Bienefelt.

      He resided in Holland WI in the 1850 census, dwelling 314, visit 316. Next door is another Cornelius Van der Jagt, age 66. (Relationship to my Van der Jagt family is unknown.)

      Living with his daughter and son-in-law John and Mena deMaster in 1880 Holland, Sheboygan WI census.

      His death date is given as 5 Feb 1886 in Portrait and Biographical Record of Sheboygan County. I used the date entered here, from researcher Mary Risseeuw. A Sheboygan Press article dated 2 Feb 1920 under the heading "Thirty-Two Years Ago Today" shows that the date from Mary is correct:
      C. M. Vanderjagt, one of the oldest settlers of the town of Holland died after a short illness at the residence of his son-in-law John Master, at 12 o'clock last night. The deceased was born in Burg Island of Schouwen, Holland, Dec. 19, 1812, and came to America in '48 stopping at Sheboygan and immediately located in Town Holland. He was a well to-do, industrious and respected citizen and quite popular. The funeral will take place on Saturday at 1 p.m.

      Cornelius was described as "of the Town of Holland" in the probate of his wife Maatje's will in 1875. [2]
