Does anyone know what became of Egbert Teunis Egbertsen and his children? This Egbert Egbertsen was a son of Teunis Egberts and Susanne le Tillier, who maried (2) Jannetje Duchesne. He left a will in Richmond County, NY, dated July 6, 1721, proved August 25, 1721. He was married to Francyntje Duchesne, and had four sons baptized in Staten Island (Port Richmond) DRC. Children were: Abraham bp 1713 Jul 13; wits Theunis Egberts, Antie de Sien Theunis bp 1718 Aug 10; wits Jean Gareau, Marie Auder Isaac bp 1720 Apr 10; wits Thomas Kasper, Francyntje Mangels Ral Johannes (John) 1722 May 20; wit. Marytje Claassen. There were also two daughters, Catharine and Susannah, who may not have been baptized in Port Richmond. An Egbert Egbertsen who I think is the same man shows up in the probate records index for New Castle County, Delaware between 1738-1742 in New Castle County. He probably lived in Appoquinimink Hundred there. A land record dating back to 1734 gives the names of the five children then living. Part of this land record reads: "This is whereas Egbert Egbertson, late of New Castle Co., dec'd., in his lifetime was seized of a plantation tract of land which he purchased of Andrew Jubart by Deed, dated 16 Aug 1734. Then sd Egbertson died Intestate leaving five children (viz) Abraham, Isaac, Catharine and John Egbertson and Susannah, the wife of Nicholas Belveal; they received an Order of Orphans Court, dated 16 April 1745, to divide sd land." The recitation of this land record and others shows the land was in Thoroughfare Neck, Appoquinimink Hundred. After the division, several pieces of this tract were sold. In 1774, one of the pieces of this Egbert Egbertsen land here ended up in the ownership of my own Andrew Eliason, whose wife was Lydia Dushane. Andrew is a descendent of Elias Cornelisen and Lysbeth Meyer, married on 29 December 1678, NY DRC. Ellias and Lysbeth baptized two sons in NY Dutch church, Cornelis in 1679 and Johannes in 1682. Lydia was a descendent of Anthony Duchesne and Anna Boquet, as well as descending from Nicholas de Meyer and Lidia van Dyck. Is anyone researching these people? I would like to know what became of the Egbert Teunis Egbertson children. Also I would like to know what became of Egbert's brothers, especially Johannes and Isaac. We have several men with missivg wives down here, and wives with missing husbands. So if anyone had a Family Sheet or names of spouses for any of these whose spouses aren't mentioned in the above record, or death dates, or any other support, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and interest. Best wishes, Liz J
