I am looking for some family history of the Duvee's in and around the NewAmsterdam area in the 1700 time frame. Mary Duvee married a James Jenkins in about 1713. They had a son, William, born 1714 and another son, John, born 1725. William moved to Bergen County, New Jersey and married Margrietje LaRue there in 1745. John married Jacomyntje Van Duersen in 1756 and remained in New York. This is all the information I have on this family with the exception of what I have in the following paragraph, sent to me by another researcher. "James Jenkins from Wales- who came to America in Queen Ann's reign about the year of our Lord 1700-01-02-03-04 and married a Miss Mary Duvee from France, who had twenty children, but which is more singular had seven children in three births, however, they all died before they were married, except William and John. The latter who was the youngest, was born in the year of our Lord 1725: pension application W 20179 on service of son James Jenkins 1758-1801." Tom Jenkins from Texas tjenkins@ghg.net
