Hello, I am still looking for a female named Perkins Lambert b. about 1747, she married in Manhattan in 1768 to Johannes Brouwer (aka John Brower) b. 1747. Marriage records states both are of New York (City). Johannes Brouwer b. 1747, s/o Johannes Brouwer b. 1712 (m. Susanna Druljet b. 1710 , baptised at French Church), s/o Jacob Brouwer b. 1684 (m. Pieternella De La Montagne b. 1683, d/o Jean), s/o Jacobus Brouwer b. 1655 d. 1707 (m. Anneke Bogardus, d/o Willem, s/o Rev. Everardus Bogardus and Anneke Jans), s/o Adam Brouwer b. 1620, the immigrant who arrived in Manhattan in 1642, and married in 1645 to Magdalena Verdon, d/o Jacob. If you notice, Magdalena, Pieternella, and Susanna are of FRENCH ancestry. Could this be a 'pattern' in that Perkins Lambert is perhaps also of French ancestry? Lambert is a French surname found in London and Manhattan records in the New Netherland time period. I have never been able to find any family which Perkins Lambert fits into. Was the Lambert name derived from her father's first name? Was the PERKINS name given to her because of a Perkins-Lambert marriage at some point? Or was Perkins not a surname, but was the name perhaps some other name which 'morphed' into Perkins. For example: was it Perkes; Perckes; Pickens? Was this a FRENCH name? John Brower and Perkins Lambert baptised some children in Manhattan from 1769 thru 1776. I searched for Perkins Lambert as a baptismal sponsor for other BROWER-Brouwer babies but did not find her anywhere. The children were: Susanna b. 1769 (named for paternal grandmother); John b. 1770 (named for paternal grandfather); Robert b. 1772 ( this might be the maternal grandfather, because there is no ROBERT used by this Brouwer family line); Jacob b. 1774 (named for paternal Great Uncle, or paternal great grandfather); Susanna b. 1776 (named for the prior daughter who died). Susanna Brower m. 1800 David Ostrum. There is a record of a later child, named Thomas Brower. Thomas is a name rarely used by the Brouwer family line, this might be a clue from the maternal side. I already understand the BROUWER side of the family, but lack any indentification of this Perkins Lambert. Would love to hear from anyone who might know Perkins Lambert Brouwer. Best regards, Lilly Martin
