Annatie NAMBURGH Your Annatie Namburgh was really Annatie VAN AMBURGH, but the clerk or minister at Tarrytown had some difficulty with her surname. The Van Amburgh family was from Almelo, Overijsssel, Netherlands (as per the following marriage record) and settled (first) in the Fishkill area of Dutchess County, New York (formed in 1683), which is north of Tarrytown. The marriage of Hendrick Arentszen (Van Amburgh) to Aeltje Claes (the widow of Machiel Ferre) was recorded at the Old Dutch Church of Kingston, Ulster County, New York on 11 May 1664. Aeltje had married Machiel Ferre [Banns] after 17 Apr 1660 in the New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church, but no information is given in the record beyond their names. They baptized one son (Peter) at Kingston on 10 Apr 1662.

First publication of Banns, 27 April; second, 4 May; third, 11 May. * Almelo, in the Province of Overijssel, 25 miles E.S.E. of Zwolle, the capital of Overijssel Abraham Hendrickszen (Van Amburgh), the son of Hendrick Arentszen and Aeltje Claes, was born circa 1668, probably in the Fishkill area. He married circa 1694 to Anna Canniff, who was born circa 1676 (probably on the Manor of Courtland in Westchester), the daughter of Jeremiah Canniff and Anna Woelfse. Your Annatje Van Amburgh was born probably at Fishkill, and baptized at the Old Dutch Church of Kingston: 30 Jun 1700; [Hoes B#1179] Abraa Hendrickse, Anna Kerf; Anna; Johannes Schepmoes, Jan Buys, Neeltje Gerritsen. Annatje had 2 siblings who were also baptized at Kingston: Hendrick on 24 Nov 1695 and Isaac on 26 Sep 1697. Both Hendrick and Isaac married at Tarrytown (again, shown as "Namburgh" in the records). Annatje Van Amburgh married (1st) to Willem Brouwer (son of Samuel Brouwer and Margietje Smidt) on 6 Nov 1725 at First Reformed Church of Tarrytown (Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow): Nov. 6, 1725 - Willem Brouwer, j. m., b. on the Minnaer of Cortlandt, and Annatie Namburgh, b. in Duys Co. Both l. on the Minnaer of Cortlandt. "Duys Co." is Dutchess County, and "Minnaer" is Manor. Following the death of Willem Brouwer, Annatje Van Amburgh married Jeremias Mabie, who was himself the widower of Helena Concklin (or Canckley), at Tarrytown: Aug. 22, 1730 - Jeremyas Mebie, widower of Helena Canckely, b. in Harlem, l. in Phillips Burgh, and Annatie Namburgh, widow of Willem Brouwer (see No. 53), b. in Viskill, l. on the Mennaer of Cortlant. Additions/corrections are always welcome. Regards, Pam Sears
