I have received some replies to my last posting and in answer to them - There are no records of to the best of my knowledge., that Jacob Janse Flodderse every uses the surname Gordineer, also borne as Gaudinier, Gardinieir, Gordonier etc, The Gordineer and its many spelling finds its origin with Josina Gordineer who in 1643 marries Flodderse - documentation can be found in Grenville C. Mackenzie's The Families of the Colonial Town of Philipsbury - - There are two Known " copies" both type scrip 1 - New York Geneological and Giographical Record 2- The Westchester County Archives, 2199 Saw Mill River Rd, Elmsford, nY 10523 (914 592 1925) Note - All the records that i have and these's deal mostly with the Gordineer's on the lower Hudson Valley - (note that the family seperates in 1686 with Albert Gordineer and some of his sisters and brothers moving to "what now is", lower Westchester Co. The only records of Jacob Janse Flodderse show his name as just that : these include courts records, apprentiseship papers (cira 1630's), land deeds (both his and his fathers): The only "Children" of Jacob that assume the susname Gordineer are the children of Josina which is the native custom - The children of Jacob's second marriage to a european women assume the surname of their father Flodderse - which is later corrupted to Floders by their desendants - It is a gross error to assign the surname of Gordineer and its many spellings (remember not many native's wrote their own names or did the spelling) to Jacob Janse Flodderse, and it is also in error to assume that all his children assume this surname - the records prove other wise -
In ref to Wyandance - not all Gordineers - will find lines to this; the lineage that i have found is through maternal grandmothers; search grandmothers with surnames of Texel, Lent, Abrams, Van Tassel. May all feel free to contact me in ref to their geneology search of Gordineer's.
