Baptized on 29 March 1703, Hendrik Kortregt, son of Cornelis Hendricksen and Christina Roosekrans, married Jannetjen Ennes, daughter of William and Cornelia Viervant Ennes, on 6 Nov 1724, at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, in then colonial New York.

Hendrik, as was typical of the time, would anglicize his given name to Henry which appears thus in Pennsylvania legal documents, tax records, his Will, and as inscribed on his field stone burial marker.

Named in Henry's Last Will and Testament are the following children: Cornelis, Daniel, Benjamin, William Ennis, Abraham, Jeane, and Cornelia Courtright. The surname variant Courtright predominates throughout this document.

Known 18th century variants of their surnames which appear in early Dutch and later English language records in both colonial and post Revolutionary War New York and Pennsylvania include: Kortregt, Kortright, Kortrecht, Curtreght, Courtright, Cortright and Ennes, Ennis, Annes, Ennist, Innes.
