Levinus Winne, son of New Netherland immigrant settler Pieter Winne, has many descendants and is the subject of some genealogical confusion needing to be sorted out. Many profiles are affected.
The father, Pieter Winne, is generally agreed to have been been born in Ghent, Flanders, in 1609. (There appears to be a fairly good source for his birth.) He is represented here by profiles including [[Winne-19]], [[Winne-23]], [[Winne-86]], and [[Winne-135]]. He was married first, apparenlty in Flanders, to Aechie Jans Van Schaick ([[Van_Schaick-26]] and [[Van_Schaick-106]]), said to be born in 1612. Profile [[Winne-124]] is for a son named Pieter, born in Ghent in 1632. I can't see the source cited in that profile, but I don't think the information is valid (although it's very possible that Aechie had a son in 1632, when she was 20, but this and other early children did not survive).
Pieter and Aechie emigrated to Curacao, where a son named Pieter ([[Winne-134]]) was born circa 1643. This is the only child of the first marriage who is acknowledged in the first Pieter Winne's two wills. Aechie died in Curacao in in the 1640s. A number of genealogies indicate that a son, Levinus Van Schaick Winne, was born around the time of her death. This son is represented here by [[Winne-18]] and [[Winne-123]]; the first of these profiles credits Levinus with two wives and several children.
Pieter Winne left Curacao and ended up in New Netherland, with Tannetje Adams ([[Adams-2017]] and [[Adams-14274]]) as his wife. Pieter Winne's second will (dated 1684) lists his living children by his wife Tannetje; the second child on that list is named Levinus. I deem it highly unlikely that a son by the second wife would have been named Levinus if there was already a living son by that name. Accordingly, the Levinus who had those wives and children must have been the son of the second wife, Tannatje, not the son of Aechie.
I can't confirm the existence of Levinus Van Schaick Winne, but I think it's likely that this son died in about 1659 (consistent with the death date on [[Winne-123]]), and that the next son born to Pieter and Tannetje Winne was given the name Levinus.
I propose the following:
-
Revise [[Winne-18]] to replace the mother Aechie with Tannetje as mother and change the birthdate to an estimated date of around 1660 (after the birth of brother Adam Winne)
-
Add Pieter Winne (born 1609) to [[Winne-123]] as the father.
I am working on removing Aechie as the mother of several children who were born after her death and are recorded in Pieter Winne's will as being the children of Tannetje.
Some information sources:
Does anyone have primary sources or other information to support or refute any of this, or that can resolve discrepancies between the birthdates and death dates given in various unmerged profiles?
