John Van der Voort was born in the vicinity of a locality called Six Mile Run near New Brunswick, in Somerset County, New Jersey on March 30, 1755. He was baptized on 22 Apr 1756 in New Brunswick, Middlesex County, NJ. Therefore, he was about eight years old when his parents, Jacobus and Metje (Montfort) Van der Voort moved with the family to Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York.
In April of 1775, in Beekman, New York, Dutchess County, where he then resided, he enlisted for one year in Captain William Clark's Company in Colonel Swartwout's regiment in the revolutionary service. They marched by land from there to New York and took Bedlows Island and fortified Governor's Island. He remained in New York in the service until his year was out, that he was discharged there in the latter part of April of 1776. He was in no battle during the year except the resistance they met when taking the Island from the British.
In 1776, and soon after he was discharged from the year's service, he enlisted again for seven or eight months in Captain John Dustin's Company in Colonel Swartwout's regiment, he enlisted at Beekman aforesaid, where he resided at the time. That they went to the highlands on the west side of Hudson River and built fortifications there. He stayed there until his term of service had expired and was discharged there.
In July of 1777 he enlisted for eight months at Beekman in Dutchess County aforesaid in Captain Bentley's Company in James Van Denburgh's regiment. They marched towards Saratoga to join forces against Burgoyne, but a little below Saratoga an express met them (advising) that Burgoyne had surrendered. They then marched back to Albany and from there went to Poughkeepsie by water and from there they went below White Plains near the British lines and joined Colonel Van Rensselaer's regiment. During this term of service he was a brevet lieutenant of his company; that he continued in the service at that place until his eight months had expired when he was discharged there sometime in February of 1778.
In March of 1778 he started to go a privateering, went to New London, CT and went aboard of a vessel called Putnam under command of Thomas Alliss (Allan) and Lieutenants Garret and Solston. He was made quarter gunner, the vessel carried twenty guns.
