Hi all, Some more info on Fredrick Lubbertszen -- He gave his age as 36 in 1640 and 37 in 1641; but 55 in 1664. [Reg of the Prov Sec I:332, 337-8 and CDNY II:482] This calculates to a birth about 1604 or 1609. Since Pam found the 1628 bap. of daughter, Rebecca, I'd believe the 1604 date (married at 23 rather than 18). He may have arrived in New Netherland as early as 1633. See CDNY 2:140. This appears to recount the purchase from the Indians of land on the Connecticut River by Jacob van Curler, Fredrick Lubbersen and others. His will abstract is shown in NYGBR 47:168. It is dated 1679 and was proved in 1693. It is a joint will of Frederick Lubberse and Tryntie Hendrickse. Since Tryntie's was m/1 to Cors Pietersen by 1638 (see next paragraph), she was probably born about 1618; so was somewhat younger than Fredrick. Since it was a joint will, I wonder if Fredrick didn't die soon after it was written in 1679, but it was not probated until Tryntie died -- perhaps in 1693. I finally found the evidence that Tryntje Hendricks was the daughter of Hendric Tomassen and Elsje Martens. It is in Reg. of the Prov. Sec. I:97-98. This document is a 1639 release from Cors to Adam Roelantsen for payment of 50 guilders for his [Cors'] wife's interest in the estate of her deceased father and her mother. Adam had married Tryntje's mother, Elsje. [see the suit brought in 1638 by Cors in Council Minutes IV: 15] The release also shows that Cors is from Langeraer (Langeraar today). This is a small village about halfway between Leiden and Amsterdam. As to the two wives of Fredrick Lubbertszen -- My guess is that the first was Styntie Jans and that the Styntie Hendricks ref. is a mistake: the clerk had Hendricks on the brain after writing Tryntie Hendricks. Or perhaps Liz is right and she was the dau. of a Jan Hendricks. I do not believe Styntie is the daughter of Hendrick Tommassen and Elsje Martens who were the parents of Tryntie Hendricks. Note that Frenderick and Styntie had their first ch. born in Amsterdam in 1628. Cors was from Langeraar and Adam Roelandsen was from Friesland. My guess is that Hendrick T. and Elsje M. arrived in NN in the 1630's with dau. Tryntie. Then Hendrick died and by 1638 Adam had married the widow Elsje and Cors had married the dau. Tryntie -- all in NN. (Adam had been in NN as early as 1633, but apparently went back to The Netherlands and in 1637 was appointed schoolmaster and arrived back in NN in 1638.)
