and Cornelia Lubberts, was born on the 21st of September, 1666, and married on the 10th of October, 1688, Anna Bancker, eldest daughter of Garret Bancker and Elizabeth Dircks. Bancker came to Beverwyck about 1656, probably from Amsterdam. Mr. de Peyster was an Assessor of the Dock Ward, an Assistant Alderman of the same, Mayor of New York, and a prominent member of the Provincial Legislature, acting as Chairman of several Committees. About the year 1710, he visited his relatives in Holland. He had issue, seven sons and five daughters. One of his daughters, Cornelia, married Matthew, a son of Matthew Clarkson, Secretary of the Province of New York, by his wife, Catharina Van Schaick, and had issue, who became the ancestors of the Philadelphia branch of the Clarkson family. Cornelia survived her husband Matthew Clarkson, and married Gilbert Tennent.
