Notes for RAGEL JANS: 1661, May 9 -- "... Again we have a Dutch patronymic, Maritje, daughter of Jan. [Rachel] was one of two daughters, age 1 1/2 and 4, who appear unnamed with their parents, Jan Theunissen and Maritje Jans, on the May 9, 1661 passenger list of the ship 'De St. Jan Baptist' ... The record of her second marriage shows that Maritje was born Amsterdam. The father was very likely the Jan Teunisze who was born at Amsterdam 10-19-1631, son of Teunis Jans from Deventer, Ourjas, Netherlands and his wife Jannetje Arents which couple had married (Amsterdam?) September 14, 1624. [The Lost Palatine 16:10]. " [John D. Baldwin research, B4, B19) "The two 'sons of Teunis,' Jan and Arent, adopted the surname of Pier, also found as Pyer. Jan's daughter Rachel, the wife of Arie Fransen is found as Rachel Jansen Pyer, Rachel Janse Pier, Rachel Rachel Jansen Pier, Rachel Pier, also simply by the patronymic Rachel Jans and Ragel (Dutch for Rachel) Jans." [Baldwin, B19] 1703, 1707, 1711 -- "Likely she used her married surname as the Maritje Ploeg, sponsor at baptisms of four of her DeLong grandchildren." [Baldwin, B20] 1712 -- "A witness to baptism of child in Kingston." [Baldwin, B20] 1716 -- "Sponsor at birth of Neeltje, daughter of probable daughter Willemtje."
