    1. [DUTCH-COLONIES] Cozine - Brewer/Brouwer, Demarest, Van Orden, and Koning Families
    2. Barbara Terhune

    3. To Dutch-Colony listers interested in the Subject families, We have been writing our book, /West of the Salt/, for several years. However, we have continued researching associated families. Recently we came across a problem in current genealogies dealing with Domine Cornelius Cozine of Conewago which we felt needs addressing separately. An error as to the correct identity of his second wife also affects other families, such as the Demarests and the Brouwer/Brewers. We had hoped to submit this to Dorothy Koenig's NNC, but didn't complete it until after she retired from publishing. Barb Terhune COZINE ADDENDUM Domine Cozine's WidowMisidentified -Affects Brouwer and Demarest Family Lines- Reference is made to the will of Domine Cornelius Cozine, Sr. (pages 49-51, /West of the Salt/), dated 5 Aug 1786, also available online with Ken Heindl's post to the Dutch-Colonies mail list of Aug 2000. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Dutch-Colonies/2000-08/0966628298 We will focus on two details of this will: * The identification of his second wife is simply “Mary,” together with the specifications of her inheritance. * His direction to executors to provide an “outset” (usually monies and/or goods upon marriage) to “Elizabeth Venordir.” This individual is otherwise unidentified and uncorrelated with Domine Cozine. So there are these two uncertainties in Cozine's will that are also incorrectly presented in existing genealogies. With regard to Cozine's second wife, “Mary,” the Rev. Demarest wrote in 1884: “/His /[Dom. Cozine]/wife, Maria //Brewer//was the daughter of one of the colonists She upon his death went to Haverstraw, N.Y. where she married David S/./Demarest of Hackensack, N.J.”/ Rev. Demarest was notable for researching and writing a marvelous historical paper detailing the Dutch colony that established what has come to be known as Conewago in York (now Adams) County, PA. The colony was first populated in 1767 and mostly migrated further west by the mid-1790s. Demarest wrote his paper in 1884 when “Conewago” and the Dutch colonists were but a dim memory. Many subsequent genealogies have copied Demarest and specified Mary to be a Brouwer or Brewer. We recently became aware of documents, legal court evidence that disputes and obsoletes Demarest's identification of Mary (Maria) _Brewer_ as Cozine's second wife and identifies the family of the recipient of the “outset” Elizabeth Venordir ! It is as follows: _Dauphin Co., PA Deed Book H, Vol. 2, page 430_ John Yurry and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Mary, wife of Rev. Co. Cozine, dec'd” of the town of Haverstraw in the County of Orange, N.Y. appoints Joseph Brinkerhoff of York Co., PA their attorney to receive whatever due them from [Cozine's] estate. _Dauphin Co., PA Deed Book H, Vol. 2, page 429_ Mary Cozine, widow of Cornelious Cozine married David Demerest, Bergen Co, Oct 4, 1790, came before the court and said she appointed Jacob Vanorden--no more David Van Orden of Orange Co NY her attorney in the estate of the said Cornelious Cozine dec 'd, David Beatty. EX. On August 1, 1787, she while a widow, empowered David Van Orden her Ex. The significance of these Dauphin Co., PA records cannot be overstated. They reveal that Mary, second wife of Cornelius Cozine, Sr. was _widow_ Mary Van Orden, prior to her marriage to Cozine. She was not Mary Brewer, since her daughter Elizabeth was a Van Orden. They also reveal that “Elizabeth Venordir” (recipient of an outset in Cozine's will) was in fact, the daughter of Mary Van Orden, Cozine's second wife. Elizabeth was a teenager (born 1769) living in the home of her stepfather Cornelius Cozine and her mother, Mary. So... * Elizabeth was genealogically a Van Orden and * Elizabeth was a daughter of Mary and a prior Van Orden husband... * Hence, Mary was a Van Orden widow (not Brewer nor even a Westerfield widow) But, what _was_ the maiden name of the widow Mary Van Orden? Armed with the above data, it didn't take long to locate the following marriage record that identifies her as Mary Koning (not Mary Brewer), along with baptismal records of their children, including Elizabeth in 1769 (recipient of an outset in Dom. Cozine's will). Marriage Record: Records of the Reformed Dutch Churches of Hackensack & Schraalenburgh, NJ, (Holland Society of New York 1891), Part 2, pg. 50, [1760] 31 May Stephen Van Orden, y.m.; Mary Koning, y.d. Baptismal Record: Schraalenburg DRC, Bergen Co., NJ - 29 Jan 1769; Elizabeth; Stephen Van Orden and Mary Koning; wit: Johannes Westervelt. Magdalene Christi The Van Orden attorneys, David and Jacob, appointed by Mary (Koning) Van Orden Cozine Demarest to represent her inheritance from Domine Cozine's estate, were brothers of her first husband, Stephen Van Orden, deceased. To summarize, Mary (Koning) Van Orden was the second wife of Domine Cornelius Cozine; and her 5^th child by her first husband Stephen Van Orden was Elizabeth Van Orden (baptized 08 Jan 1769, died 13 Sep 1856). Unfortunately, Rev. J.K. Demarest, in writing his paper about Conewago, apparently failed to consider the fact that Domine Cozine had a son, Cornelius Cozine Jr., and that son had married a _Mary Brewer_(baptized 22 Apr 1755, died after 1796). Also Cornelius Jr and his wife, Mary Brewer, a much younger couple, had four children born, all baptized in Conewago. However, Rev. Demarest was correct in stating that the Domine's widow, Mary, married David Demarest and moved to New Jersey (but she was not Mary Brewer). We do not wish to convey any real criticism of Rev. Demarest, because he contributed so much fine historical work in the area of the early Dutch settlers of Conewago. Our research has failed to identify the parents of Mary Koning. However, Frank Van Orden's genealogy research may already have answered this question. He identifies her parents and siblings, as well as the children she had by her husband, Stephen Van Orden. Frank Van Orden indicates that Mary was the daughter of Arie Koning and his wife, Elizabeth [Conraed] Hartje, married in 1719 in Rockland Co., NY. He lists 8 known children born between 1720-1738: Jacob, Conrad, Pieter, Margrithje, Leuntje, Elizabeth, Marya (b. 1736, Tappan) and Antje. Marya, born in 1736 looks like a very good "fit". Based on her 1760 first marriage to Stephen Van Orden as a "young woman", we estimated that her birth was no later than 1742. Frank's web site does not include sources, so we will leave documentation to prove or disprove this lineage to others. His work can be seen here: http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=fvano&id=I1095 The Marriage of Stephen Van Orden and Mary Koning Stephen Van Orden (1735-1771) and Mary Koning were married 31 May 1760 at Schraalenburgh Dutch Reformed Church in Bergen Co., NJ. He died before 18 Aug 1771 when their youngest child, Marytje was baptized at Schraalenburg DRC with the notation as to parents: "Marytje Van Orden, widow of Stephen Van Orden.” Stephen and Mary (Koning) Van Orden had the following children: Andries, Rachel, Peter S., Jan S., Elizabeth,* and Marytje. * This Elizabeth (5^th child, above) was the Elizabeth living in the Cozine household with the Domine and her mother, Mary, at the time of the Domine's death. These children and their father are discussed further below in Ancillary Data. The Marriage of David Sam Demarest and Mary Koning Four years after the death of Domine Cornelius Cozine, Sr., his widow, Mary (Koning) Van Orden cozine married her 3rd husband, David Sam Demarest on 04 Oct 1790. Schraalenburgh DRC records show that David and Mary witnessed the baptism of their mutual grand-daughter, Margrietje Demarest on 14 Nov. 1790, witnesses: David Sam Demarest and Maria Koning, his wife. They again witnessed the baptism of a mutual grandson, David on 25 Jan 1796. The parents of both children were David D. Demarest (son of David Sam Demarest) and Marytje Van Orden (daughter of Maria Koning)! In addition, on 08 Mar 1795, Mary Koning and her 3rd husband David Demarest witnessed the baptism of Maria Van Orden at Tappan DRC, parents: Peter S. Van Orden and Margrietje Haring, witnesses were David Sam Demarest, Maria Demarest [nee Koning, paternal grandmother and namesake]. Ancillary Data The Facts about Mary^5 Brewer (Daniel^4 , Abraham^3 Brouwer, Peter ADAMSE^2 , Adam PIETERSE^1 ) and her husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. Mary^5 Brewer/Brouwerand her husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. baptized four children at Conewago DRC between 1776 and 1783: Antie, Daniel, Sarah and Cornelius III. They are listed in the 1783 Tax List of Straban, York Co., PA. This family migrated to Mercer Co., KY between 1783 and 1786. There they purchased a farm, as previously indicated in /West of the Salt, Cozine Section,//pp. 45-64/. Unfortunately, Cornelius Jr. died between February and May 1787, leaving his wife Mary (Brewer) and 4 children, all of whom were named in his will (recorded in Mercer Co., KY Will Book 1, p. 12), as well as, Mercer Co., KY Guardian bonds for several years. These 4 were the grandchildren of Dom. Cornelius Cozine Sr., who had died one year earlier in August of 1786. About nine months later, on 10 Jan 1788, Mary Brewer Cozine married (2nd, not 3rd) Samuel Demaree Jr. (son of Samuel Demaree and Leah Demarest) in Mercer Co., KY; and they relocated to Shelby Co., KY. before 1790 when tragedy struck. Young Daniel was killed and his sister, Sarah, was kidnapped by Indians. Mary Brewer did _not_travel back to New Jersey, marry David Sam Demarest there, bury him, then scurry back to Kentucky in time to marry Sam Demaree, Jr in January 1788! In addition, Mary had four young children by her late husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. that have to be accounted for. Furthermore, as noted above, David Sam Demarest, of New Jersey, was still alive in 1796, welcoming his grandchildren into the world. Unfortunately, more than a few current genealogies continue this impossible fiction as fact. Hopefully this paper will help correct these misconceptions. Stephen^5 Van Orden (John^4 , Andriese^3 , Jan^2 , Pieter^1 ) Mary Koning's first husband, Stephen^5 Van Orden,//was born 02 May 1735 in Hackensack, Bergen Co., NJ. His parents were John^4 [Andriese]Van Orden and Rachel [Wouter]Van Schyven. He was baptized 22 June 1735 at Schraalenburg DRC, Bergen Co., NJ, witnesses were Stephen Terhune & his wife, Lydia [Demarest]. His siblings were: Andries, Wouter, David, Leah, Rachel, and Jacobus. As noted previously, Stephen married Marytje Koning 31 May 1760; both listed as young and single. He and Mary had 6 children, the 5 youngest were baptized at Schraalenburg DRC: i.

Clarification of the 3^rd marriage of Maria (Koning) Van Orden Cozine Demarest This might qualify for Ripley's Believe It or Not.... Between 1789 and 1790, (mother) Maria (Koning) Van Orden Cozine and (daughter) Maria Van Orden marry men with the same bloomin' name...David Demarest!

    3. sometimes REAL genealogy facts do look convoluted. I married first Miller-then a Thompson-followed by another unrelated Thompson. My first born (daughter from the first Thompson) married a Miller...going from Thompson (maiden name) to Miller (married name)....... If I didn't do genealogy for my family and set the record straight, some descendent would be bald from tearing their hair out in frustration... I also have an ex-sister-in-law (sis to my first husband, Miller), whose maiden name was Miller-marry a man named Miller....so it is twists like these that cause us the most problems....just have the facts as we find them proved out... Which I know you do excellent work and I thank you for your many helpful posts!

Frank Van Orden indicates that Mary was the daughter of Arie Koning and his wife, Elizabeth [Conraed] Hartje, married in 1719 in Rockland Co., NY. He lists 8 known children born between 1720-1738: Jacob, Conrad, Pieter, Margrithje, Leuntje, Elizabeth, Marya (b. 1736, Tappan) and Antje. Marya, born in 1736 looks like a very good "fit". Based on her 1760 first marriage to Stephen Van Orden as a "young woman", we estimated that her birth was no later than 1742. Frank's web site does not include sources, so we will leave documentation to prove or disprove this lineage to others. His work can be seen here: http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=fvano&id=I1095 The Marriage of Stephen Van Orden and Mary Koning Stephen Van Orden (1735-1771) and Mary Koning were married 31 May 1760 at Schraalenburgh Dutch Reformed Church in Bergen Co., NJ. He died before 18 Aug 1771 when their youngest child, Marytje was baptized at Schraalenburg DRC with the notation as to parents: "Marytje Van Orden, widow of Stephen Van Orden.” Stephen and Mary (Koning) Van Orden had the following children: Andries, Rachel, Peter S., Jan S., Elizabeth,* and Marytje. * This Elizabeth (5^th child, above) was the Elizabeth living in the Cozine household with the Domine and her mother, Mary, at the time of the Domine's death. These children and their father are discussed further below in Ancillary Data. The Marriage of David Sam Demarest and Mary Koning Four years after the death of Domine Cornelius Cozine, Sr., his widow, Mary (Koning) Van Orden cozine married her 3rd husband, David Sam Demarest on 04 Oct 1790. Schraalenburgh DRC records show that David and Mary witnessed the baptism of their mutual grand-daughter, Margrietje Demarest on 14 Nov. 1790, witnesses: David Sam Demarest and Maria Koning, his wife. They again witnessed the baptism of a mutual grandson, David on 25 Jan 1796. The parents of both children were David D. Demarest (son of David Sam Demarest) and Marytje Van Orden (daughter of Maria Koning)! In addition, on 08 Mar 1795, Mary Koning and her 3rd husband David Demarest witnessed the baptism of Maria Van Orden at Tappan DRC, parents: Peter S. Van Orden and Margrietje Haring, witnesses were David Sam Demarest, Maria Demarest [nee Koning, paternal grandmother and namesake]. Ancillary Data The Facts about Mary^5 Brewer (Daniel^4 , Abraham^3 Brouwer, Peter ADAMSE^2 , Adam PIETERSE^1 ) and her husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. Mary^5 Brewer/Brouwerand her husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. baptized four children at Conewago DRC between 1776 and 1783: Antie, Daniel, Sarah and Cornelius III. They are listed in the 1783 Tax List of Straban, York Co., PA. This family migrated to Mercer Co., KY between 1783 and 1786. There they purchased a farm, as previously indicated in /West of the Salt, Cozine Section,//pp. 45-64/. Unfortunately, Cornelius Jr. died between February and May 1787, leaving his wife Mary (Brewer) and 4 children, all of whom were named in his will (recorded in Mercer Co., KY Will Book 1, p. 12), as well as, Mercer Co., KY Guardian bonds for several years. These 4 were the grandchildren of Dom. Cornelius Cozine Sr., who had died one year earlier in August of 1786. About nine months later, on 10 Jan 1788, Mary Brewer Cozine married (2nd, not 3rd) Samuel Demaree Jr. (son of Samuel Demaree and Leah Demarest) in Mercer Co., KY; and they relocated to Shelby Co., KY. before 1790 when tragedy struck. Young Daniel was killed and his sister, Sarah, was kidnapped by Indians. Mary Brewer did _not_travel back to New Jersey, marry David Sam Demarest there, bury him, then scurry back to Kentucky in time to marry Sam Demaree, Jr in January 1788! In addition, Mary had four young children by her late husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. that have to be accounted for. Furthermore, as noted above, David Sam Demarest, of New Jersey, was still alive in 1796, welcoming his grandchildren into the world. Unfortunately, more than a few current genealogies continue this impossible fiction as fact. Hopefully this paper will help correct these misconceptions. Stephen^5 Van Orden (John^4 , Andriese^3 , Jan^2 , Pieter^1 ) Mary Koning's first husband, Stephen^5 Van Orden,//was born 02 May 1735 in Hackensack, Bergen Co., NJ. His parents were John^4 [Andriese]Van Orden and Rachel [Wouter]Van Schyven. He was baptized 22 June 1735 at Schraalenburg DRC, Bergen Co., NJ, witnesses were Stephen Terhune & his wife, Lydia [Demarest]. His siblings were: Andries, Wouter, David, Leah, Rachel, and Jacobus. As noted previously, Stephen married Marytje Koning 31 May 1760; both listed as young and single. He and Mary had 6 children, the 5 youngest were baptized at Schraalenburg DRC: i.

Clarification of the 3^rd marriage of Maria (Koning) Van Orden Cozine Demarest This might qualify for Ripley's Believe It or Not.... Between 1789 and 1790, (mother) Maria (Koning) Van Orden Cozine and (daughter) Maria Van Orden marry men with the same bloomin' name...David Demarest! Thank Heaven for the following baptismal records that present both couples, sharing the same space and time, and thus, distinguishes between them.
