Research Notes

Name

• Last name Coens, or Coenraad.
• Coens may actually be her 'grand-matronymic', Agnietje assumably being named "Agnietje Coens" after her grandmother, Agnietje Coensse.
• The early records of the church were written in Dutch. Her name was translated by Roswell Randall Hoes as Angenieta Coens, Agniet Koen, Angieta Coens and Agniet Jacobz in the baptism records of her children.
• LNAB per New Netherland Project naming conventions is Coens, the name that appears on the earliest baptism record. -Smith-62120 20:25, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Geographical Information

The baptism and marriage records of her children provide clues to when and where Agnietje lived. Baptism records place her and her husband Dirck Keyser near the Old Dutch Church of Kingston which is currently in Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Four children of Dirck and Agnietje were baptized at the church in 1671, 1679, 1681 and 1684. There may have been additional children born before, after or in between these documented children.

The marriage record for Cornelis Keyser stated that he was born in Kingston (1671) and currently (1698) resided in Moreml [Marbletown]. ^[11] The marriage record for Jannetie stated that she was born in Hurley (1681) and currently (1703) resided in Moreml [Marbletown]. ^[12] The marriage record for Jacob stated that he was born in Roosedaal [Rosendale] (1684) and currently (1702) resided in Horle [Hurley]. ^[13]

Rosendale, Hurley, Mombaccus and Kingston are near each other and are all currently in Ulster County, New York. Wikipedia says that Mombaccus was the Dutch name for the area that became the Town of Rochester.
