Pam and all, Jurian Blauw married 1st Hester Emmet, as is seen from the baptsims of two of their children:12 Mar 1729; Jurian Blauw, Hester Emmet; Leena; Fredrik Blaw, Lena, z.h.v.Collections of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, Vol. II, Baptism for 1620 to 1730 in the Reformed Dutch Church, New York, pg 490. 10 Oct 1731; Fredrick; Juryson Blaauw, Hester s.v.; Nicholaes Vechten, Cornelia s.v.New Utrecth Baptisms, NYGBR 112:211 Jurian was baptized at the DRC of Brooklyn:1708, February 29: -Jurjen; parents: Fredirck Blaauw, Lena; witnesses: Abram Blaauw, Jannetje Brouwer.New York Historical Dutch Manuscripts, Old First Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn, New York, First Book of Records, 1660-1752, by A.P.G. Jos van der Linde, pg f152. Based on his baptism in 1708, the baptism of Leena in 1729, and the mention of Engeltje was his oldest daughter, it seems lilkely that Leena died young and they had a second child named Magdalena, though that Magdalena could be a daughter of Cornelia. Hester's parents were probably John Emmet and Engeltje (?). It seems likely that John (his oldest son) and Engeltje are Hester's children, named after their maternal grandparents. Fredrick apparently died young as he is not mentioned in the will.
