She was married to *David DuBois on 8 Mar 1688/89 in Kingston, New York. From "The American Descendants of Chretien DuBois of Wicres, France", part one, pages 21-22:

"David DuBois settled in Rochester patent, Ulster County, New York.

The name of David DuBois appears as Lieutenant in Captain Vernooy's Company for Rochester & Wawarsing 1715. He took Oath of Allegiance in 1689. David was Supervisor of the Town of Rochester from 1717 to 1728. In 1729 he was one of the Overseers of the Poor, Town of Rochester.

4-2-1694: Indenture between John Wood & Hannah, his wife, parties of the first part, and David DuBois of Kingston, son of Louis DuBois one of the Patentees of New Paltz, for the consideration of "2300 schipples of wheat", a conveyance of 10 acres of meadow land. In March 1697 David DuBois conveyed this land back to John Wood. In the will of Louis DuBois pr. 1696: "Payments for the land which my son David bought from Jan Wood to come out of my estate as I promised my son David."

3-15-1709: "Leendard Cool desires a conveyance for the land that lies behind his land, between David DuBois, his land, and the land of Captain Joachim Schoonmaker..."

The name of David DuBois was included on a "Lis of Quit Rent, Rochester from May 28, 1715 to 1729", although there is no amount given." Children were: Catryn DuBois, Hannah DuBois, Catrynje DuBois, *Annaatjen DuBois, Josaphat DuBois, Elizabeth DuBois.

He was married to *Sarah TenBroeck on 22 Nov 1702 in Kingston, New York. Children were: Maria Vernooy, Cornelis Vernooy, Wessel Vernooy, *Jacob Vernooy, Johannes Vernooy, Johannes Vernooy, Coenraad Vernooy.

He was married to *Annetje Cornelis VanDeCuyl WFT Est. 1656-1688. New England Historical and Genealogical Register, v. 106, pp4-14, January 1952:

"Cornelis Cornelissen Vernoy (his patronymic is evident from the baptismal entries of his children) arrived here with his wife (Annatje Cornelis) and a [sucking] child (Lysbeth) on 'de Trouw'* which had sailed from the Netherlands 20 Jan. 1664. In The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, 1929, p. 102, are given what are supposed to be the names of the father and grandfather of the settler without, however, the benefit of any proof whatever. In any case the name Vernooy (Vernoey - verdriet, meaning sorrow) is unusual enough so that we may safely assume that the settler belonged to a family of that name which resided at Wyk-by-Duurstede in the Province of Gelderland from an early date. The earliest mention of the name which I have noted was of Willem Vernoy who rented the manor of Natewisch, Utrecht, in 1547 (Navorscher, 1903:383). Cornelis Jacobsz Vernoy born in Sticht (the Bishopric) of Utrecht and twenty-one years old married in 1602 at Wyk-by-Duurstede Anna, the dau. of Capt. Marishall (Algemeen Geertruida van Kriekenbeek a name also found in New Netherland). She married as his widow in 1662 at Cothen near Wyk-by-Duurstede (the ancestral home of the van Cortlandt family), for on 8 March 1707, Johannes, a native of that town, married Catharina van Gramsbergen at Amersfoort where both of them were living at that time. While on 18 March 1739, there was baptised at Wyk-by-Duurstede Maria Vernoy, a daughter of Jan Vernoy and Emerentia Van Eyndhoven, these persons incidentally being ancestors of the writer. And finally Adriaen Vernoy of Wyk-by-Duurstede is mentioned on 18 Oct. 1715 as a tenant of a fief situated in Gelderland (Powers of Attorney (Volmachten) of the Court of Landtenure of Gelderland).

"During the seventeenth century there were several members of this family to be found in the Province of Gelderland in and around the town of Brakel (the place of origin of the van Brakelen family). In the third quarter of the seventeenth century Cornelis Vernoy was the Scholtus, a sheriff, of the manor of Brakel, and the Dike Reeve of the district and one of the tenants of land belonging to the manor. His wife was Elisabeth van den Burchgraeff mentioned as his widow in 1674 (Navorscher, 1915). Cornelis died 11 Jan. 1673 (Ned Leeuw, 1947:406). His will, dated 30 Sept. 1670, is in the Archives of the Court of Land Tenure of Gelre. At the time of making his will he was a schepen of Zuylichem, a town near Brakel.

"There is also mention of Dirck Vernoy, Gherard Vernoy, and Anthony Vernoy in these same archives during the second half of the seventeenth century (respectively 3 May 1648, 12 Nov. 1665, and 4 Aug 1698) and what is of importance their seals attached to these papers have been preserved. These all show: Or three chevrons Gules. As a crest we find a pair of wings and also a pair of wings charged as the arms. The colors have been taken from the Roll-of-arms of the Aalmoesenierskamer, Chamber of Alms, support of the Poor of Utrecht, of which Anthony Vernoy was a regent in 1699.

"A thorough search in the archives of Utrecht and Gelderland would undoubtedly disclose the family of the settler and establish his right to these arms."

[*Note: The ship "de Trouw" was called, in English, "Faith", and is the same ship on which the Low family arrived in 1659.]

From Wawarsing, Where The Streams Wind by Katharine T. Terwilliger:

"The first man to live on land he owned appears to be Cornelis Vernooy. In 1702 Anna Beek Phenix, her second husband, and two children by her first marriage, sold some 400 acres to Cornelis Vernooy. The deed gives his address as Wawarasink, so apparently he had been living there before his purchase. He bought not only the 400 acres of land but all the houses, barns, stables and fences on it. For this he paid 'a competent summe of money' and, for an unspecified time, was to pay 'four bushels of good winter Marchantable wheat yearely on ye five and twentieth day of March in ye City of new Yorke...'.
Mr. Vernooy could not have been a young man when he bought the land. According to a shipping list Corneliss Cornelisse Vernoey, his wife and sucking child left Holland in 1664 on the Geloove (meaning Faith). They lived in Kingston for a time. If we imagine him as 20 when he left Holland, he would have been 58 in 1702." page 4.

"The first grist mill in the present Town of Wawarsing was erected by Cornelis Vernooy, presumably soon after he purchased land in Wawarsing. It was along the stream later named in his honor. The fact that in the early 1700s there was need for a grist mill here indicates that farms were growing in number. One cannot overestimate the boon the Vernooy mill would have been. Until then farmers could make only a coarse meal and that in such small quantities as could be ground out by hand with a pestle. They came from as far away as today's Grahamsville to have their grain ground at Wawarsing. Tradition (or folklore) says Mr. Vernooy brought the running gear for his mill from Holland." ...page 7.
________________________________________________________________

From the Ellenville Journal, Nov. 13, 1969, by Katharine T. Terwilliger:

"Succeeding generations of Vernooys ran the mill in Wawarsing and lived in the stone house near it which their ancestor had built.... By the mid-1850's, perhaps sooner, the grist mill passed from the Vernooy family. There were many owners until it burned in 1897."
________________________________________________________________

The first will of Cornelis Vernooy and his wife Annatje Cornelis was dated Feb., 23, 1682/3 and written in Dutch. It was filed on July 1, 1727. A later will was written June 22, 1719 and filed July 1, 1727 in Dutch.

From "The Hardenbergh Family", by Myrtle Hardenbergh Miller:

"In 1705 he [Cornelis Vernooy] purchased of Col. Jacob Rutsen a tract of the Amy Beake Patent, the present site of the village of Wawarsing, and erected the first grist mill in the township, bringing the mill from Holland...." Children were: Seletje Vernooy, *Cornelia Vernooy, Lysbeth Vernooy, Greetje Vernooy, Marritje Vernooy, *Getty Vernooy, Rachel Vernooy, *Cornelis Vernooy, Johannis Vernooy, Jacob Vernooy, Child Vernooy.

She was married to *Peter Low on 11 Jan 1701/2 in Kingston, New York.^(17245) From "Time and the Valley" by Katharine Terwilliger, etal:

"It is uncertain just when the first people established their homes in sections that eventually would bear the name of Lackawack, Montela, and Eureka: now all are submerged under Merriman Dam.

"Deeds help, yet not so much as one might hope because they seldom mention whether or not there were buildings on the land.

"Deeds show that Coll. Henry Beekman, one of the Trustees of the Rochester Patent, came into possession of land in the Town of Rochester, and that in 1708 he sold at least a portion of it to Pieter Louw of Wawarsink, to use the spelling in the deed. The land is described in part as 'beginning by a great fall Called Honck' thence up the Creek northerly 'to ye high mountaines including Severall Small parcels of Land...' Among the Indian names for the parcels Beekman sold to Pieter Louw is one called Ragawack. Whether Ragawack could contain a substitution of an 'R' for an 'L' is a guess. It can be argued that this description is not conclusive for this area==that there could be another great fall 'called honck' and that the 'high mountaines' are not. However, there is no question but what Peter Low (the name came to be spelled Low and Lowe, rather than Louw) did own land in what would be called Lackawack and the Lackawack area. It is believed he came to live in the region of Honk Falls soon after 1708. Much of the land in his purchase came to be known as the Low Right.

"Peter Low was the progenitor of families widely known and respected in this area. He had three sons (Cornelius, Peter and Gideon) and four daughters (Elizabeth married Tobias Hoornbeek; Johannah married Michael Helm; Helena married Cornelius VerNooy; and Rachel)." ...pages 1-2. Children were: *Elizabeth Pietersz Low, Cornelius Low, Helena Low, Johanna Low, Maria Low, *Petrus Pieterson Low, Rachael Low, Gideon Low.

He was married to *Annaatjen DuBois on 28 Apr 1728 in Kingston, Ulster Co, NY.⁽⁶⁸⁰⁵⁾ Children were: *Sarah Vernooy, Jacob Vernooy, Cornelia Vernooy, Zamuel Vernooy, Josaphat Vernooy, Maria Vernooy, Wessel Vernooy.

She was married to *Petrus Pieterson Low on 18 May 1753 in Rochester, Ulster County, New York.^(17247) It appears that Petrus Low was unmarried until the age of 38. The marriage is shown in the church register as "Petrus Low j.m. and Sara Vernoy j.d. banns in the Meeting at Rochester, and both born and living there, Apr. 29, 1753. Married May 18, both born and living over in Rochester near the Menine (Minisink?)". The 'j.m.' and 'j.d.' mean literally 'young man' and 'young woman' in the Dutch language, but in this context, they mean 'previously unmarried'.

The church records also show that Petrus paid the "pall" for his brother Cornelius on March 20, 1746/7. Children were: Jacob Low, Maria Low, *Cornelius P. Low, Sarah Low.
