Eva Albertse Bratt

Notes:

Also called Aefje, Affien, etc. On 3 Jun 1662 in Rensselaerswyck, her father, now widowed, made an agreement with his several children, in which it is evident that they were listed in birth order and that the first two, Affien and Barent, were baptized in Amsterdam. Affien was Eve, widow of Anthony de Hooges and now married to Roeloff Swartwout.

Eva married Anthony de Hooges in Oct 1647 in Fort Orange (now Albany), New Netherlands. Anthony was born between 1620 and 1623 in Netherlands; died about 11 Oct 1655 in Beverwijck (now Albany), New Netherland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. Anna de Hooges was born about 1650 in Fort Orange (now Albany), New Netherlands; died in 1688.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: 1607, Frederikstad, Norway

Notes:

Also spelled Bradt. In August 1630, still in Holland, he signed a contract (along with two others) with patroon Kiliaen van Rennselaer to become partners in a sawmill in Rensselaerwyck in New Netherland. With his first wife Annetje, his daughter Eva, and son Barent, he left Holland, sailing from the Texel on 8 Oct 1636 on the ship Rensselaerswyck. Annetje was pregant and, during a violent storm on 2 November, she gave birth to their third child, a son, who was named Storm and who in adulthood took the surname Vanderzee, "from the sea." The ship reached Manhattan on 4 March 1637 and anchored at Fort Orange, up the Hudson, on 7 April.

The sawmill partnership lasted only a year, because Albert departed to devote his energy to planting tobacco and trading in furs. In 1646 he got out of the tobacco business and, with his brother Arent, became operator of two sawmills on the Tawasentha. This enterprise lasted many years and is the reason that the stream became known as the Noorman's Kill.

Albert married Annetje Barents on 11 Apr 1632 in Oudekerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Annetje (daughter of Barent Röttmer and Geesje Barentsdochter) died in 1661 in Rensselaerswyck, New Netherland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Bef 3 Jun 1662, Rensselaerswyck, New Netherland
• Alternate death: Bef 5 Jun 1662

Notes:

Also called Annetje van Rotmerz. Her 1632 Amsterdam marriage intention calls her place of origin "Oudenbroek."

Notes:

They were married on Easter Sunday by the Reverend (Dominee) Joannis Silvius.

Notes:

He presumably died in Amsterdam. His wife survived him, remarried, and emigrated to New Netherland.

Barent married Geesje Barentsdochter. Geesje died before 1663 in New Netherland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Aft 1666

Notes:

Also spelled Geesgen; Baerents; Geesie Barents; etc. Possibly as early as 1642 (Jacobus, citation details below), she came to New Netherland with her second husband, Pieter Jacobsz van Rynsburch/Rensborch, who may have been from Rensborg in Schleswig-Holstein. They were both dead by 1663.
