Hi I'm doing research into Charles COLLIER who was born in NY in 1844. He is the son of Robert and Polly Collier who were married around 1823 in New York. Robert was born 12 March 1796 in Coxsackie NY the son of Theunis Collier and Catharine VAN den BURGH. Theunis was born about 1771 in Coxsackie Green NY to Isaac Collier and Sarah VAN VECHTEN. Catherine was born in about 1775 in Coxsackie Green NY. Charles Collier was married to Jenny BENNEFOFF and they were living in Wisconsin. One of their daughters was Minnie J. Collier who married William Henry FULLER. Anyone doing research into this family would love to hear from you. Kind regards Dianna

Hi Dianna, Not researching any of the names, but noticed a lot of Dutch names, if you need any help finding their Dutch origins let me know Regards Annemarie -----Original Message----- From: nyc-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nyc-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of dianna charles Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 8:52 AM To: NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] Collier/Van Bechten/Bennehoff Hi I'm doing research into Charles COLLIER who was born in NY in 1844.

Hello Dianna, I am a descendant of Jeuriaen Caljer (Colyer). He lived in Kings County, (Brooklyn area), Long Island, New York. Many times he is refered to as Jeuriaen Caljer of Long Island. This surname became spelled as COLLIER by 1800. I have noticed that there is also an IRISH name, or British name, spelled Collier. However, because your family listed included so many DUTCH name, I am 'assuming' you family actually is tied to the DUTCH Caljer/Colyer family. This however does not help you in your immediate research, and perhaps this is something you already worked before. Sorry if this is old news. Just trying to help. In my family line Jannetje Caljer b. 1676, married Nicholas Brouwer b. 1672 Gowanus, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY (Long Island) She was the daughter of Jeuriaen Caljer. Jeuriaen Colyer was a Ship Builder. He is included in "The Eary Settlers of Bushwick" by Andre Provost. (Bushwick is a neighborhood in Kings Co NY). In my Brouwer (Brower) family line they used the name Jeremiah over and over many generations and this was in honor of Jeuriaen. I also found many uses of Jurrie, Jury, which was another form of the name. I wonder, did you find any forms of this name in your line? Best regards, Lilly Martin Adam Brouwer 1620-1698 descendant ----- Original Message ----- From: "dianna charles" <diamonddi57@optusnet.com.au> To: <NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 10:51 AM Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] Collier/Van Bechten/Bennehoff > Hi > I'm doing research into Charles COLLIER who was born in NY in 1844.
