Aug. 15, 1636, he entered into a new contract with the patroon and the same year he sailed by the Rensselaerswyck, accompanied by his wife Catelijntje Martens and a servant by the name of Cornelis Teunisz, from Westbroeck.

      == Research notes ==

      === LNAB ===:'''Maesz''', Cornelis' patronymic, is the "surname" that he signed his name with. 09:06, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

      === Bloomingdales ===:According to an email received Nov. 14, 2007 from Barbara (Van Buren) Perricelli, "the Bloomingdales were NOT Van Burens. Proof exists in the Albany Church deacons' records, showing that Maes Cornelius Van Buren died in Nov. 1662, so he could NOT possibly be Maes Cornelius Bloomingdale.
      : "Also, the man born in Houton was known as "Black Martin" and his full name was Martin Cornelius Van Esselstyne."Source: Page: [http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/gen/report/rr01/rr01_464.html#P76919 Pane-Joyce Genealogy]
