New Netherland Settlers
 
New Netherland Settlers: The Stevensen and Jacobsen Families.
A genealogy to three generations of the descendants of Maria Goosens and her husband Steven Janse Coning who settled in Fort Orange in 1649
(Stevensen Family) and Maria Goosens and a man named Jacob (Jacobszen Family) Available on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca
A brief excerpt from my book New Netherland Settlers: The Stevensen and Jacobsen Familes was previously published as The European Origins of Steven Janse Coning in the December 2001, Vol. 6 No. 4 issue of New Netherland Connections. My book completes several years of research into the origins and descendants of Steven Janse Coning who was baptized in 1617 in Nijkerk and settled in New Netherland with his wife Maria Goosens circa 1649. By 1663 Steven and Maria had at least 7, possibly 8 children. After their divorce in 1663 Steven and Maria married other spouses, and Maria had one more known child born to a man named Jacob whose surname is unknown. This book follows Steven, Maria and their descendants to three generations. The book is 154 pages fully sourced and footnoted. Six full pages of original documents from Nijkerk are included as well as maps. Steven and Maria's lives are set in the historical context of the fascinating world of the early settlement of New Netherland. Steven's newly discovered origins and names of his parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and siblings are documented and sourced. His family's suffering when the Bubonic plague struck Nijkerk in 1636 when Steven was only 18 years old is well documented and included in the book. Hand-drawn maps complete this book which is part of the New Netherland Settlers series. Albert Gijsbersen, plaintiff, against Maria Goosens, defendant. The plaintiff demands reparation of honor for damages, to wit, because the defendant said that he had stolen a chest with goods at the Manhattans. The defendant denies that she said this and declares that she has nothing to say against the plaintiff honor or virtue, although the plaintiff called her a whore. The honorable court, having heard the parties and seeing that the defendant cannot prove her accusations against the plaintiff and declares that she has nothing to say against the plaintiff, condemns the defendant for her abuse to pay a fine of six guilders for the benefit of the poor and the costs of the trial, forbidding her to utter such slander again, on pain of greater fine TABLE OF CONTENTSPART I: THE DUTCH IN NEW NETHERLANDOrigins of New Netherland Rensselaerswyck Beginnings Fort Orange & Albany Beginnings Early Settlers & Immigration Religion Money & Money Substitutes Introduction to Patronymics Translation of Dutch Phrases in Church Records Bibliography of Sources in Part I PART II: THE FIRST GENERATION OF THE FAMILY IN THE NEW WORLD Steven Janse Coning & Maria Goosens Steven Janse Coning & Geeertruy Cornelise van Fulpen Maria Goosens & a Man Named Jacob Maria Goosens & James Matthews Genealogy Report PART III: THE CHILDREN OF MARIA GOOSENS Ryntie Stevens & Gysbert Gerritszen van Brakel Jan Stevensen & Lysbeth Lucas Jannettie Stevens & Her Three Husbands: William Erwin, Clement Sever (aka Sebra) & Thomas Roberts Goosen Stevensen & Annettie Jans Loursen Christina (Styntie) Stevens & Robert Darkins Isaac Stevensen & Margrietje Van Veen Pieter Stevensen & Janneken Schouten Hendrick Jacobs & Anna Simonse Fell PART IV: THE GRANDCHILDREN OF MARIA GOOSENS Marritie Gysberts van Brakel & Samuel Borsie Stephen Gysbertszen van Brakel & Dina Kloppers Gerrit Gysbertszen van Brakel & Cathryntje Claese van der Volgen The Andriessen & Smock Families Marritie Stevensen & Michael Jans The Stevensen Family The Gleave & Charlton Families The Sebra Family The Roberts Family The Pasco Family The Maurits Family The Cuyler Family PART V: MAPS PART VI: DOCUMENTS Appendix A: 1651 Oath of Fidelity Download an Order Form or Use Paypal
