She was married to *Hendrick Jochemse Schoonmaker in 1657 in Albany, New York.⁽³⁰⁹⁷⁾ From "The History of Kingston, New York", by Marius Schoonmaker, 1881:

"Hendrick Jochemsen Schoonmaker was a native of Hamburg, in Germany. The precise time of his arrival in this country is not known, but he came in the military service of the Dutch West India Company, and was lieutenant 'in the company of his noble Honor the Director General.' It is certain that he was there as early as the year 1654, for there is a record of his advance of money in that year to Governor Stuyvesant 'in time of need'. He was an innholder at Fort Orange, and acquired the title to considerable real estate. He owned, besides other lots, a lot on the east corner of what is now Broadway and State Street. In the fall of 1659 his company was ordered to Esopus for the defence of the settlers in their troubles with the Indians. He was there in 1660, and at the expiration of his enlistment he settled at Esopus. A short time afterward, in 1662, when the burghers organized a company of militia at Esopus, he was appointed lieutenant under Thomas Chambers as captain.

Hendrick Jochemsen married Elsie Janse, daughter of Jan Janse Breestede and widow of Adriaen Petersen Van Alcmaer. He died about 1681, and his widow, September 26th, 1684, married Cornelis Barentsen Slecht.
Hendrick left four children, Jochem Hendrick, Egbert, Engetje, and Hillitje."

From "Scandinavian Immigrants in New York", by John O. Evjen, 1972, page 212 (from the chapter on Danish immigrants):

"Elsje Jans, from 'Breestede' (Bredstedt), a daughter of Jans Jansen and Engeltje Jan van Breestede, came with her parents to New Netherland in 1636. She was married, on May 17, 1643, to Adriaen Pietersen van Alcmar, widower of Grietje Pietersen.

The Council minutes of that period tell us how Adriaen wooed and won her as his wife. It appears that Elsje was in the service of Cornelis Melyn of Staten Island. She left the service before her term had expired, in order to marry Adriaen. Melyn was much displeased at this, and brought suit against Egbert Woutersen, her stepfather, 'husband and guardian of Engel Jan, her mother', for damages on account of Elsje's marriage engagement.

Elsje appeared in court on September 11, 1642, and testified that 'her mother and another woman had brought a young man to Staten Island.' She claimed she had never seen him before. They desired that she should marry him. She declined at first, but finally consented. 'She concluded her testimony by returning in court the pocket-handkerchief she had received as a marriage present.'

Five days later she made the declaration that she sent for Adriaen Pietersen, and that on his coming to Staten Island she accompanied him on board his yawl.

A week later, Melyn and the Fiscal had Pietersen before the court, charged with Elsje's abduction. Pieterson was ordered to bring her into court, deliver her to Melyn, and receive her again from him 'on giving security for the payment of the damage Melyn may have suffered.' [New York G&B Record, VII, p.117]

After the death of Adriaen Pietersen, Elsje married Hendricksen Jochemsen, of Esopus. After his death she married Cornelis Barentsen Slecht (Sleght), who was in New Amsterdam in 1662, and at Wiltwyck (Esopus) in 1664."

From "The Early History of Kingston & Ulster County", by Marc Fried:

"On Thursday, June 7, 1663, between eleven and twelve o'clock, when nearly all the men were at work in the fields, a large number of Indians began entering Wildwyck from different points, in bands, dispersing among the dwellings in a seemingly friendly manner, under pretense of bartering a little maize and some beans. The visitors had been in Wildwyck about a quarter of an hour when some people on horseback rushed through the mill gate crying out 'The Indians have destroyed the New Village!'. The Indians at Wildwyck then commenced a general attack on the bewildered inhabitants, murdering them in their houses with axes and tomahawks and firing on them with guns.... In the meantime, the New Village had suffered a similar fate. The entire settlement was burned to the ground, except for a new unroofed barn, a rick, and a small stack of reed. Here, according to the official report, there were three men killed. There were no wounded, but a man and thirty-four women and children were carried off by the Indians. In Wildwyck twelve men (including three soldiers), four women, and two children were reported dead, with ten women and children taken prisoner. Eight men were injured, one of whom died nine days later of his wounds. Twelve houses were burned. Hendrick Jochemsen (Schoonmaker) was 'very severely wounded in his house [in Wildwyck] by two shots at an early hour.' A child of Schoonmaker was among those taken prisoner from the New Village. Also taken captive from the New Village were the wife and three children of Lambert Huybertsen (Brink), two children of Albert Heymans Roosa, the wife and child of Antoine Crispell, and the wife and three children of Louis DuBois...." (pp. 61-62)

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

"Hendrick Jochemsen Schoonmaker was born at Hanse Town, near Hamburg, Germany. He died about 1681 at Kingston, married at Albany ca 1657/8 Elsie Janse Van Breestede of New Amsterdam, daughter of Jan Janse Breestede and Engeltje Jans, and widow of Adriaen Pieterszen Van Alcmaer by whom she had three children ( 5/17/1643) She married (3) Cornelis Barentsen Slecht.

Hendrick Jochemsen Schoonmaker came to New York in 1654 in the military service of the Dutch West India Company. He settled at Albany prior to 1655 and kept an inn there. Schoonmaker purchased considerable property and loaned money to Governor Stuyvesant 'in time of need.' He had lot No. 1 at Wiltwyck, and was a member of the Citizens Council of War in that village, and a signer of the ordinance drawn up on the first day of January Anno 1663, with Thomas Chambers, Cornelis Barentsen Slecht, and Pieter Jacobsen. He was Lieutenant of Militia stationed at Esopus 1660 with his company and settled there at the expiration of his term of enlistment. At the time of the burning of Wiltwyck by the Indians June 7, 1663, he was severly wounded and one of his children was captured. At that time he lived near the Mill Gate. His commission was renewed April 18, 1670.

Hendrick was called 'Hendrick the smith.' On official papers he signed his name Hendrick Jochemsen. Court records of Kingston say 'he was recently deceased Nov. 7, 1682.' The descendants of Hendrick Jochemsen Schoonmaker are quite numerous in Ulster County, New York, and are widely scattered. Their children seem to have settled in Rochester, Ulster County; all had large families. They had sixteen children.

Their first child Jochem Hendrickse married 1679 Petronella Slecht."

She was married to *Cornelis Barentsen Slecht on 26 Sep 1684.

He was married to *Engeltje Jans WFT Est. 1613-1639. From "Scandinavian Immigrants to New York", by John O. Evjen, 1972:

"Engeltje Jans, from 'Breestede' (Bredstedt, in Schleswig), came with her husband, Jan Jansen, to New Amsterdam about 1636. By him she had the following children: 1) Tryntie, who was married to Rutger Jacobsen Schoonderworth or Van Woert, and whose descendants assumed the name of Rutgers; 2) Jan Jansen van Breestede, who in 1647 married Marritje Lucas (Andries); 3) Dorothea Jans van Breestede, who in 1650 was married to Volckert Janszen from Frederickstadt, and whose descendants comprise the Dow family of New York; 4) Elsie Jans van Brestede, who was married three times....

After the death of Jan Jansen, Engeltje Jans was married on September 1, 1641, to Egbert Woutersen, of Isselsteyn. He is often mentioned in the Court Record of New Amsterdam 1653-1674 as arbitrating in disputes. He and his wife were frequently invited to stand sponsors at baptisms.

They made their will on June 20, 1652.

Woutersen took the lease of a bowery on December 1, 1646, on Manhattan; and on May 10, 1647, he obtained a patent for a tract of land, called in Indian Apocalyck, lying across the North River, west of the Manhattan.

Woutersen died 1680, without issue."

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

"Jan Jansen Van Breestede resided on High Street, New York. He was a cooper. In 1658 he was appointed marker, or gauger, of beer barrels. In 1668 he was inspector of pipe staves and meat packing. In 1674 he was fire warden. From Court Minutes, New Amsterdam appear: March 19, 1658, Jan Jansen Van Breestede, cooper, being sent for to Court, appearing, is asked, as he is petitioned to be marker of beer barrels, how much he will charge a piece? He places the charge at one stiver per half barrel with approval of the magistrates. The magistrates allowed him the time of one year, and shall enjoy him two stivers for each, but the increasing or diminishing lies at the pleasure of the Burgomaster.

Oct. 4, 1661, City Hall. Paulus Schrick v/s Jan Jansen van Breste, demands 5 1/2 beavers for a barrel of pork. Defendant says there is coming yet to him 54 guilders and 7 stivers, wages from Johannes van Beeck, deceased, whose widow plaintiff has married. Plaintiff says that does not concern him. Burgomasters and Schepens, having heard parties, decree, whereas sewant, in the time that Van Beeck, deceased, was indebted, was as good as beavers, that the debts shall be set off against each other; therefore order Paulus Schrick to pay the defendant 10 guilders and 7 stivers.

Oct. 10, 1661. Same case. Paulus Schrick v/s Jan Jansen van Breste. Requests reconsideration of debt, as according to the marriage contract he has nothing to do with his wife's debts ... Defendant says that the plaintiff applied to him twice for the account, he offered him payment, producing in effect two witnesses. Plaintiff denies not that he offered payment but says it was in sewant... Burgomasters and Schepens persist in their rendered judgment of Oct. 4th past. ...

Jan was an early settler of New Amsterdam coming there with his wife about 1636. Engeltje married 2d 9/1/1641 Egbert Woutersen of Isselsteyn who died 1680." Children were: *Elsie Janse Breestede, *Tryntie Janse Breestede, Jan Jansen Van Breestede , Dorothea Jans Van Breestede.

She was married to *Rutger Jacobse VanSchoonderwoert on 3 Jun 1646.⁽³⁰⁹⁹⁾ From "The Hardenbergh Family", by Myrtle Hardenbergh Miller:

"Rutsen is not, technically, a family name but was assumed later. The supposed progenitor Jacob Van Schoenderwoert, or Jacob from the shining fields, a place two miles north of Leerdam, Holland, and four miles from Vianen. His sons Rutger Jacobse came in 1636 and Tunis Jacobse in 1640. Tunis resided at Beaverwyck and was a man of some prominence. His descendants have as their patronymic, Van Woert.

Rutger Jacobse embarked October 1, 1636 from Texel on the yacht Rensselaerswyck bound for Fort Orange. He served as a farm hand on the farm of Teunisz from Breuckelen for a term of six years beginning April 1637, at Fl. 100 a year. In 1643 he was engaged as foreman on the Great Flats in Resselaerswyck at Fl. 200 a year and some clothes. From 1648 to 1654 he is charged with an annual rent of Fl. 125 for a saw mill on the Fifth creek, he also had a saw mill and a grist mill with Barent Pietersz as partner for which he paid rent of Fl. 500 a year, also on Fifth creek. About 1648 he owned a sloop plying on the Hudson River between Rensselaerswyck and New Amsterdam. On April 4, 1649 he agreed to pay Fl. 32 a year for three years, for rent of his house and the right to fur trade. In October 1680 he and Goosen Gerritsz were authorized to brew beer and of brewing free of charge, the beer needed for the households of Van Slichtenhorst and de Hooges. Everyone drank beer, wine and whisky, at that period, water was the only alternative. Tea, coffee, and chocolate were all unknown until the close of the 17th century. Beer was served at every meal.

Jacobsen seems to have lived most of the time in Rensselaerswyck. In 1649 he bought a lot on High Street, New Amsterdam, and built a house on it. In 1656 at Fort Orange, he mortgaged this house and lot for 1528 guilders. His wife gave another mortgage on it in 1658 and one on her house at Fort Orange. This was done to meet what officer Cornelis Steenwyck was trying to collect from them, a sum of 5482 guilders. In the fall of 1660 he sold the house and lot in New Amsterdam at public auction to Johannes Withart, his own attorney. Jacobsen contested the sale in court, claiming the house and lot were not 'held up' before they were sold. After several hearings the Court decided that Jacobsen had no reason to start suit. As the suit was renewed, arbitrators were appointed to decide the matter.

Rutger Jacobse was a prominent man in Beverwyck. On April 23, 1652 he secured a lot in the town. He was Counciler 1649-1651 in Rensselaerswyck for which he received Fl. 50 a year. In 1656 he was magistrate of Rensselaerswyck and laid the cornerstone of the New Dutch Church situated at the present intersection of State Street and Broadway in Albany. In 1661 he owned a share in Mohickander Island. On Nov. 7, 1656 Thomas Chambers was haled before the court on which was seated Jacob Rutsen. Rutger died before December 9, 1665. His inventory showed silver and jewelry amounting to 512 guilders and 14 stivers.

Rutger Jacobse married (2) 3/6/1646 Tryntje Jans from Breestede who died 1711 at Rosendale at the home of her son Jacob Rutsen.
