Notes
General:
BIRTH-MARRIAGES-DEATH: Harry Macy JR, "Origins of Some New Netherland Families," THE NEW YORK STATE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD, Vol. 123, #1, Jan 1992; pp 17-19.
COMMENTS: All notes below are from the RECORD above unless otherwise noted.
Barent Barentsen Rottmer is not known to have come to this country, but at least one of his daughters did--Geesje Barents, who married, in Albany circa 1661, Thomas Lewis, later of New York City."
Also according to the RECORD (p. 19), Barent's mother Geesje Barentsdochter and her second husband Pieter Jacobsz van Rynsburch/Rensborch were both deceased in 1663, and her heirs were named as Annetie's (eight) Bradt children and "their cousins...Geesie Barents and Raechel Barents"...so Barent himself had died, as had Jan and any other children. No baptism for daughter Geesje Barents has been found, so her mother is unknown. Because she named a daughter Catharina, I have placed her in the family of Barent and his second wife, Cathalina Michiels.
OCC: (1) Caffaworker (caffa, a rich silk cloth similar to damask) at first
marriage in 1632.
(2) Armesinworker (armesin, a heavy silk, usually black and used for
clerical garments) at marriage in 1634.
(3) Satinworker at marriage in 1644.
RESIDENCES: In 1632, "from Altenbruch," and living in the Schaepensteegje, a street in Amsterdam. In 1634, "from Otterndorf," living in the Schaepensteegie. In 1644, "from Otterndorf," living on the Heylgeweg.
COURT: A marginal notation on the second marriage intention indicates that the groom had appeared before the Weeskamer or Orphanmasters' Court, which would indicate that he had one or more children; the third intention has a notation that the bride was cleared by the Weeskamer 16 Dec 1644. "The Weeskamer records have not been searched."
