      == Biography ==
      <blockquote>"Dirk Cornelisen Keyser as early as 1657 was a merchant at New Amsterdam, were on July 18th of that year he gets judgment against one Jan Roelfsen for a debt on his swearing to the correctness of his accounts,--judgment for '13 beavers.' And there he is still found on July 19, 1662, when Dirk Keyser and Andries Spiernigh, partners, merchants at New Amsterdam, confer power of attorney upon Walraef Clarhout; and yet on Set. 2nd of the same year when he acts as witness to a power of attorney by Nicholas Bott to Nicholaas De Meyer to collect debts in Holland. Doubtless he himself was born in Holland, though his name appears on none of the surviving sailing-lists. He must have been well on in life when he married,--probably in Albany, whither many early New Amsterdam merchants removed and where all early records are lost. He is found at Wildwyck (Kingston) as early as 1669. His first child was baptized at Kingston June 18, 1671, and here it was that 'Catryn' and several intervening children were baptized. On May 15, 1671 Dirk Keyser was possessed of lot number 22 in Kingston: on that date 'the inhabitants were ordered to renew the stockade' and the portion that fell to him was '8 1/2 rods.' In 1676 his name appears in a list of petitioners to Governor Andrus concerning church matters at Kingston. In 1689 when the Oath of Allegiance was being administered by the English authorities he is not among those who took it, but instead is found under the head of 'These following persons Did nott apear, viz.' The records show that on Aug. 23, 1682, the Honorable Court orders that a certain piece of land 'on the Ronduyt Kill at the Great Falls' formerly granted to Thomas Quick and Francis Coin 'shall now be equally divided between Thomas Quick, Jan Waerd and Dirk Keyser because Fancis Coin has run away--each of them to receive twenty-five morgen (fifty acres) or just one-third portion.' The court records also show that on Jan. 25, 1684, there was granted to Dirk Keyser 'a conveyance of twenty acres of land on the Rondout Kill at the south end of Jopsen Berrig' Whether he continued merchant and became farmer as well is uncertain. He is found taking part in building the Marbletown church; and it was doubtless after him that the near-by Keyserike was named."<ref> William Henry Van Benschoten, pp. 27-28 </ref></blockquote>
      Dirck Corneliszen/Cornelissen Keyser resided in what is now Ulster County, New York by Jun 1671 when son Cornelis was baptized. His wife's name appeared with various spellings in the translation of the baptism records of their children and in the profiles created for her and in ancestry family trees.

      === Notes ===
      The baptism and marriage records of their children provide clues to when and where Dirck and Agnietje Keyser lived. Baptism records place the Dirck Keyser family near the Old Dutch Church of Kingston which is currently in Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Four children of Dirck and Agnietje were baptized at the church in 1671, 1679, 1681 and 1684. There may have been additional children born before, after or in between these documented children.
      The marriage record for Cornelis Keyser stated that he was born in Kingston (1671) and currently (1698) resided in Moreml [Marbletown].<ref> Baptismal and marriage registers of Kingston, Hoes, pp. 8, 513</ref> The marriage record for Jannetie stated that she was born in Hurley (1681) and currently (1703) resided in Moreml [Marbletown].<ref> Baptismal and marriage registers of Kingston, Hoes, pp. 15, 520</ref> The marriage record for Jacob stated that he was born in Roosedaal [Rosendale] (1684) and currently (1702) resided in Horle [Hurley].<ref> Baptismal and marriage registers of Kingston, Hoes, pp. 21, 519</ref>
      Rosendale, Hurley, Mombaccus and Kingston are near each other and are all currently in Ulster County, New York. Wikipedia says that Mombaccus was the Dutch name for the area that became the Town of Rochester.
