Abraham Kool (baptized at Tappan November 2, 1707) and Annetje Meyer had eight children, viz. ; Jacob, Ide (1st), Ide (2d), Isaac, Johannes, Rachel, Abraham and Andreas.

5. Isaac Kool (born Januarj- 21st and baptized at Tappan February 15, 1741) and Catharine Scrven (l)orn at Tappan August 28, 1747) were married at Tappan by Rev. Samuel Verbryk, pastor of the Tappan Reformed Church, October 15, 1764. They settled at New City, in their native county, and had fifteen children born there, viz.: Abraham, Breghje, Rachel, John, Jacob, Anna, Elizabeth, David, Isaac, Jr., Mary, Margaret, Philip, Catharine, Andrew and Sarah. In 1794 the parents removed to Broadalbin (or Fondabush), in P^ulton County, where the father died and was buried in October, 1800. The mother, after his death, returned to Rockland County, where she died in 1832. It was in this generation that the spelling of the family name was changed to " Cole." The pronunciation under its earlier and later forms was the same. The change in spelling was adopted to protect the name against mispronunciation by an incoming people not acquainted with Holland forms and sounds.

Nicholas Lansing, October 5, 1777) married Elizabeth Meyer, at Kakiat, .January 11, 1798, the ceremony being performed by Rev. George G. Brinkerhoft'. The wife was a daughter of Johannes Meyer and Tryntje Van Houten, both born in the county, but of Holland descent. These had three children -- Isaac D., Catharine and Eliza. The last died unmarried in 1851. The second, Mrs. Thomas Lippincott, who died September 23, 1881, is represented numerously by descendants in New York City and elsewhere.
