4)  NOTES

Jan Bloetgoet was born before 4 August 1672, when he was baptized in the old Dutch Church in Flushing, New York, the youngest son of Frans Janszen and Lysbeth Janse (Van Gouda) Bloetgoet of Flushing[1-2].  

Jan married Mary Morgan (1672-1730) before 1694 in New York[1-3].  She was probably the daughter of Charles and Elizabeth (Feake) Morgan of Flushing.  They had six children:

*  Francis Bloodgood (1694-1766), married 1717 Judith Shotwell (?) (1697-1766).
*  John Bloodgood (1696-1756), married 1728 Sarah Brinckerhoff (1709-1760).
*  William Bloodgood (1698-1756), married 1726 Mary Gach (1700-1760).
*  Jeffrey Bloodgood (1700-????).
*  Elizabeth Bloodgood (1702-177), married 1721 Thomas Gach (1702-1770).
*  Deborah Bloodgood (1705-1749), married 1735 Byerly Bashford (1710-1794).

John Bloodgood was described as a wheelwright and carpenter who purchased considerable property in Westchester County, New York, but, apparently, did not reside there.  On 4 August 1703, John Williams sold land in Mamaroneck, Westchester County to John Bloodgood of Flushing, carpenter and later in 1703 John Bloodgood, carpenter, sold land in Mamaroneck to Godfrey Hans, ropemaker of Mamaroneck[2].

John Bloodgood died intestate after 1715, the year that he belonged to the Company of Jonathan Wright, and 18 May 1716 when a "certain document was prepared, signed and sealed by Governor Robert Hunter, Esq., concerning John's widow Mary and the settlement of his affairs.[2]"  

Mary (Morgan) Bloodgood married, secondly, Captain James Savage[2].  Mary is mentioned in the 1720 will of her father, Charles Morgan of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, as the wife of Captain James Savage.  In Mary's will proved in 1730, she mentions her son William Bloodgood[2].
