Biography

Symon Schouten was born about 1653. He died in New York, probably before 1714.

His origin is unknown, and he has no known relation to Jan Lucaszen Schouten.^[1]

Symon probably immigrated to New Netherland as a young man. In an Albany legal proceeding he was identified as a servant to Tryntje Melgers and Wynant Gerritse (van der Poel) as of 19 May 1674 and for some time after. ^[1]

He married, Ifje (aka Eypjen, Eckje, Eyckje, or Cypje) Jans, daughter of Jan Valentyn, before 1678. They were members of the Albany Reformed Dutch Church at the time its records started in late 1683.^[1] Their first two children were born before the Albany records started.^[2]
