This work traces some of the descendants of Garret Cornelissen Van Nieuwkercke, who arrived in New York in 1659, with his wife Chieltje Cornelis and son Cornelis. The surname was eventually simplified to Newkirk. The Hamilton line begins with Robert Hamilton, who emigrated from Ireland with his wife about 1772. They had five daughters and one son after arriving in this country, and lived in Laurens County, South Carolina. The Bayless line commences with John Bayless, who was born in England in 1617, probably of Huguenot ancestry. His descendants lived in New York and New Jersey. Some of the main allied lines include: Amos, Austin, Baker, Beasley, Bell, Benson, Blackford, Butler, Chapman, Coleman, David, Ensminger, Ertel, Fry, Garee, Garthwaite, Goble, Harrell, Hendrix, Honey, Kiser, Lane, Logan, Lord, McBride, McCormack, Miller, Newhouse, Nite, Oldham, Rich, Rigdon, Roseberry, Ross, Shields, Showalter, Smith, Snider, Straughan, Tarkington, Vandament, Wikoff and Williams.
