Cornelius Jacobsen May
Cornelis Jacobszoon Mey (in English often rendered Cornelius Jacobsen May), was a Dutch explorer, captain and fur trader. Cape May, Cape May County, and the city of Cape May, New Jersey, so named first in 1620, were named after him.〔Russell Shorto, ''The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony that Shaped America.'' First Edition. (New York City: Vintage Books (a Division of Random House, 2004), p. 40. ISBN 1-4000-7867-9〕
==Family==
Cornelius May is said to be from the city of Hoorn but may have been born in the small village of Schellinkhout, just east of Hoorn, as he appears to have been the brother of Jan Jacobszoon May van Schellinkhout, after whom the island of Jan Mayen is named.〔Samuel Muller ''Geschiedenis van de Noordsche Compagnie.'', Gebr van der Post, 1874, footnote on page 167 ()〕 Both brothers were the cousin of, in his day, a far more famous sailor, Jan Cornelisz May,〔(Gerben Kazimier ''History of Schellinkhout 1601-1650'' )〕 who led several expeditions to explore the Northeast passage and between 1614 and 1617 circumnavigated the world with Joris van Spilbergen.
