I'd forgotten you had presented evidence of that in our last discussion. <snip> > I think Anna was probably one of the oldest of Caspar's children. > > Revising your lineup: > > Abraham bp. 6 Oct 1616 in Utrecht > --wit: Guillaume Tintenier, Magdaliene, wid. of Abraham Tintenier > Nicholas > Guillaume > > Francina, who married Peter Heijbloem on 2 August 1642, Amsterdam > > Anna wife of Joris/George Hack and later of Nicholas Boot > > Jannetje born in Utrecht [NA RDC marr. record] > > Marija bp. 7 Nov 1627 in Amsterdam > Judit bp. 8 Nov 1629 in Amsterdam > Catrijna bp. 2 Sept 1631 in Amsterdam > Jacus bp. 24 Nov 1633 in Amsterdam > Catrijna bp. 22 June 1636 in Amsterdam > Sara bp. 1 May 1639 in Amsterdam Good. Thanks. I had thought that there was room for one or maybe two more children between Abraham and Marija. So, now we have them. Of course, the order of nos. 2 thru 5 are "uncertain", as they say. But I should add that (from the Hoffman article, Rec. 71:117-119) the parents of Casper Varlet were Nicholas Varlet and Francina Jacobs and the parents of Judith Tintenier were Abraham Tintenier and his first wife (unknown) -- his second wife was Magdalena. I also note from the Deposition of Judith Varlet (Rec. 71:117) that she says she was about 15 when they sailed in 1650. So, it seems to me the Judith bp. in 1629 might have died young, and there could have been another Judith born about 1635. Regards, Howard hswain@ix.netcom.com

Good show Howard. An additional support for the genealogy of the family can be found in the will of Augustine Herman, of Cecil County, Maryland. One clause mentions Nicholas and Judith Varlet, two siblings of his then-deceased wife Judith Varlet, as his brother- and sister-in-law. Herman also mentions Nicholas Varlet's "Sonn & his In Law Nicholas Bayard" --who is a step-son of Nicholas Varlet by virtue of his 1656 marriage to Anna Stuyvesant, whose previous marriage was with Samuel Bayard. Here is the pertinent clause from Herman's will. It pertains to that part of Herman's property which is in and near New York: "And for the Said Estate within and without New Yorke Aforesaid I doe hereby Ordaine Constitute & Authorize my loveing Brother in Law Mr. Nicholas Varlett and his Sonn & his In Law Nicholas Bayard with my Sister in law Mrs. Judith Varlett for to be Lawfull Overseers & Adminstrators there In Trust Untill the Competent Age or Marriage Aforesaid" This will was transcribed and contributed to USgenweb archives by a descendant, Katharine Harbury, who also comments, "there is no date or anything to show that this was probated in court" --which makes sense as Herman had later written a will superceding it. > > I think Frans Heijbloem came to New Amsterdam --he appears in the NA > > baptism register: > > 1651 Jan 01; Nicolaes Verleth; Abraham; Abraham Verleth, Francosicus > > Heybloom, Judith Verleth > > Of course, as we've seen in the past, one did not have to be present > to be a "witness". Note that there were 3 witnesses named. Good point; I had forgotten to consider that. It still makes me curious though --Francina Varlet married Pieter (Franss) Heijbloem, yet here is mentioned the one who is apparently Pieter's father. > But > I should add that (from the Hoffman article, Rec. 71:117-119) the parents > of Casper Varlet were Nicholas Varlet and Francina Jacobs and the parents > of Judith Tintenier were Abraham Tintenier and his first wife (unknown) -- > his second wife was Magdalena.

Possibly, although no additional child by that name appears in the index to the Amsterdam Doopregister, and there's a pretty consistent string of Varlet children baptized in this era who do appear in that index. Whatever age she was, Judith did marry and have a child rather late (in 1666 and 1669); perhaps Judith simply remembered herself as being younger on the voyage. Checking the baptism books of Amsterdam for 1635 (as opposed to the index) and searching the burial records would also be useful. Speaking of Judith --I only found one child for Judith and her husband Nicholas Bayard. I wonder if anyone knows of more. Thanks again & best wishes, Liz J

Let me correct a typo of mine which I now notice in the last post I made. > An additional support for the genealogy of the family can be found in > the will of Augustine Herman, of Cecil County, Maryland. One clause > mentions Nicholas and Judith Varlet, two siblings of his then-deceased > wife Judith Varlet, as his brother- and sister-in-law. Herman also > mentions Nicholas Varlet's "Sonn & his In Law Nicholas Bayard" --who > is a step-son of Nicholas Varlet by virtue of his 1656 marriage to > Anna Stuyvesant, whose previous marriage was with Samuel Bayard. I typed "Judith" once too many times here. Augustine Herman's wife was JANNETJE Varlet, not Judith. Judith Varlet married Nicholas Bayard. I think that's all the typos for today. Liz J
