Carl's parents were born in Schiedam, Province of South Holland, the Netherlands, and emigrated to Ludington in 1885.

Courtland. Pieter Krijn , Clara, Carl Peter, and Willemina were born in Schiedam, the Netherlands; Richard, Nathan, Jennie, and John were born in Mason County, Michigan.
Like the rest of his family, Pieter Krijn adopted the surname "Courtland", and Americanized his given names to "Carl Peter".
Carl married Katherine "Kate" Bertha Decker, daughter of John Decker and Lovina Geiger of Pigeon, Huron County, Michigan. Carl and Kate married in Kilmanaugh, Huron County, Michigan on October 7, 1912. They had four known children:
1) Richard C. Courtland (1913-1965), who was married twice. the name of his first wife is unknown; his second wife was Helen DuCamp;

3) Howard John Courtland (1921-1998), who married Martha Helen Roe;
4) Arthur Leroy Courtland (1925-2001, who married Mary Lou Hardman.
