• Notes

  Joanna and Pierre Van Cortlandt married, living south of Poughkeepsie on the Van Cortlandt Manor, which Pierre had inherited as his part of the huge Van Cortlandt estate. The house where Pierre and Joanna entertained President George WASHINGTON is now a New York landmark, and is open to the public. During the upheaval that led to the Revolutionary War, Pierre sided with the Patriots. He was a member of the Provincial Congress at White Plains that gave New York's ratification to the Declaration of Independence on July 9, 1776. He later became Lieutenant Governor of the State and, often, Acting Governor during the war when Governor George Clinton mounted military campaigns. http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Cortlandt-15
