   In many records, including the NYDRC records his last name appears as Reyertszen. He was witness to a baptism in the NYDRC on 10 July, 1672. He was baptized in the Nieuw Kerk in Amsterdam on 23 Nov., 1637, and witness to his baptism was Trijntje Hendrix. In his baptism record he used the last name of Reigersen. In 1646 a company of ships left Amsterdam, Holland for New Amsterdam. the boat anchored off shore close by Fort Amsterdam in present day Battery Park while its cargo, and supplies, and passengers were unloaded into small boats, and were rowed to the wooden pier. The Reijersz boys, both Marten, and Adriaen ferried were on this boat, and when they landed in New Amsterdam they soon rowed over the East river to Brooklyn. Its few houses stood by the ferry, and along an old Indian trail. By Nov., 1662 while living in Flatbush Marten was traveling the rough trails north to the church in Brooklyn every Tuesday afternoon where he attended confirmation. He attended Christian classes in the church on this day every week, which were taught by Dominie Hendricus. On 25 March, 1663 Marten Reijersen, of Amsterdam, Holland, today, on Easter Sunday, was confirmed and admitted to the Lord's supper. From the marriage book of the Flatbush Dutch Reformed church we find the following: "14 May, 1663, Marten Reijersen of Amsterdam, and Annetie Joris from Nieuw Nederlandt (Rapalje), witness was Catalina Jeronimus, three girls, and the mother". The first church was erected in 1666, so they were married in a barn instead. Marten was very active in the Brooklyn DRC, and later served as its Deacon. His last name was often written as Ryerson, Reyerson, Reyerse, Reijerse, Ryersen, Ryerss, Reyersz, Reyerszen, Reyers, Reiyersen, Reysse, Reyse, Reyersz, Reyerszen, Reyers, Reiyersen, Ryorsson, and Rierson. On 25 March, 1660 he was admitted as a member of the Flatbush DRC. From 1675-1676 he was listed in the assessment rolls in Brooklyn. In Sept., of 1676 he paid taxes in Brooklyn on 4 horses, 8 cows, 4 calves, 2 hogs, and 31, and a half morgens of farm land. Also tax records in Brooklyn for 20 August, 1675 shows him owning 4 horses, 6 cows, 1 hog, and the same land. From 26 Sept., 1677 to 1685 Marten, and his family lived in Wale-Bocht (Wallabout, Brooklyn). He owned a farm in this area, and it was listed in the above tax records. His family was listed as members of the Brooklyn Dutch Reformed church in 1677. In 1679 he was elected as the magistrate for the Wallabout area. In 1682 he was elected as the Constable for this area. On 26 Sept., 1683 he paid taxes in Brooklyn again, this time for 2 horses, 2 calves, 5 cows, and 19 morgens of land. From 1685 up until his death he lived on his farm in Flatbush, and he was listed as one of the early Patentees of this town.
