Myndertse, Barent, master shoemaker, in Beverwyck, as early as 1659; d. about 1689, when Pieter Vosburgh administered on his estate. It is not known that he left any children.

Two brothers, Myndert and Carsten Frederickse, smiths, were among the early settlers of Beverwyck. They came from Iveren. Among other real estate in the village they owned the north corner of State street and Broadway, and had their smith shop without the south gate on the north corner of Broadway and Spanish (now Hudson) street. They were members of the Lutheran church of which Myndert was elder and Carsten deacon, in 1680. The latter died probably about 1690 leaving four children (see Frederickse).

Myndert Frederickse was armorer to the fort in 1697; made his will March 20, 1703 or 4 proved May 1, 1706, in which he spoke of "my house hard by the church in Cow street [now Broadway], and of "my [Lutheran] church book with silver clasps and chain." He married first Catharyn Burchharts [Burger], in New Amsterdam, Aug. 5, 1656; and secondly Pietertje Teunise Van Vechten, in 1663. At the date of his will, in 1704, he had five children living, viz: Frederick, b. in 1657; Burger, b. 1660, settled in New York; Neeltie, w. of Hendrick Douw; Reynier; Johannes, who settled in Schenectady.

The unsettled condition of the early Dutch family names is well shown by the descendants of Myndert Frederickse, which follow; some took the surname of Myndertse,, his Christian name; whilst others took that of Van Iveren, the place from whence he came in Holland.
