Biography
This profile is part of the Kool Name Study.
- See also: Kool/Cool Families
Jacob Arentsz (also known as Jacob Arents Cool, Jacob Arentsz, Jacob Arents Kool) was born in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands, probably around the year 1570. He was a Sailor or Ferryman in Amsterdam 1596 [1] Jacob wed Aeltje Dircks on 27 January 1596 in Amsterdam. Jacob died 6 November 1634 in the Netherlands. His wife Aeltje Dircks was born in 1572 at Vollenhoven, Netherlands (of Vollenhoven). Aeltje and Jacob had at least six children: Arent, Dierikien, Pieter, Barent, Barent and Lievyn - who were all baptised at Saint Nicholas Church, called De Oude Kerk (The Old Church), in Amsterdam, except for Barent, who was baptised at Saint Catharines Church, called De Nieuwe Kerk (The New Church), also in Amsterdam.
Name
Jacob Arentsz Kool[2] His surname is spelled variously Cool, Coal, Kool, and after 1806 Cole (not the case which every Kool Family line). This family line used Kool not Cole as some other Kool lines. The pronunciation of all of these names is Cole.
Little is known regarding his father, Arent. In his children's baptismal records JACOB ARENTS is described as a Sailor in Amsterdam and Father works on ship between Amsterdam and Rotterdam. [see source: The Barent Jacobsen Cool Family].
Disputed Origins and Patronyms
Some sources have identified Jacob Arentsz as a son of Adriaen Jacobsz Kool and Margaretha van Rosendael. There are no known sources connecting him to these parents. if Jacob's father was Adriaen Jacobsen Kool, then Jacob's patronymic name would have been Adriaensen or a variation thereof. Adriaensen is the patronymic that is formed by adding sen, zoon, or simply s, se or sz to the father's first name. Jacob's patronym of Arentsz indicates that his father was named Arent, not Adriaen. Moreover, Jacob named his eldest son "Arent"; based on Dutch naming practices of that era, that is a strong indication that Jacob's own father was named Arent.
Some sources have identified this man with the patronymic Barentsen or a variant thereof (e.g., Jacob Barentsen Kool), which would indicate that his father was named Barent. This is also contradicted by records showing him as Jacob Arentsz.
According to Benson's authoritative study The Barent Jacobsen Cool Family : "The Dordrecht line of Kools going back to Adriaen Kool in the year 1450 [i.e., the family of Adriaen Jacobsz Kool] has no connexion whatsoever with the family of Barent Jacobsen Kool/Cool."

Note on possible origin of the surname Cool-Kool
It is likely that the surname Kool/Cool comes from the many place names incorporating the name Cool/Kool within the area of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, such as the Coolsingel. In fact, Jacob Arentsz/Arentsen Kool was described as Veerman op Rotterdam (Ferryman at Rotterdam) in the baptismal records of several of his children. In a [1611 map] there are Cool Polder, Cool Molens, and de Coolse Wech; in a [1660 map] there is Het Ambacht van Schoonderloo en Cool; in a [1740 map] however the spelling for the same place appears as Kool and later still becomes Koolsche, and today would roughly correspond to the Cool Wijk or Cool district of the city of Rotterdam.[3][4]
Birth
- abt. 1570
- Noord-Holland, Nederlands. According to some family researchers, Jacob was born in 1580 in Vyfretch (!! Never heard of a place named like that ???), Holland. (Vyfretch comes from certain software programs: it could be that the city of Utrecht was meant, as the U sometimes was written as a W, thus Wtrecht, but the place Vyfretch for sure is a non-existent place!) Some family researchers also claim that he came to the New World, and died in 1676 in New York; however, no authority or records have been given in that regard.
Occupation
- Sailor or Ferryman between Amsterdam and Rotterdam. [5][6]In his children's baptismal records, Jacob Arents is described as a Sailor in Amsterdam and Father works on ship between Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Aeriaensz is another variant spelling of the name rendered here as Arentsz. Could you please add that name to the Other Last Names data field?

This was the only Jacob I could find in Amsterdam ...
Cool-192 and Arentsz-3 appear to represent the same person because: There's every indication that these are the same person. No conflicts; Arentsz-3 is PPP Thanks :)
And was reading the G2G again, Jan mentioned it looked like the age mentioned at the marriage record said he was 27 , or maybe it's 29 ? Hard to read so (roman xx and something that's hard to really say what it is . but anyway the xx seem pretty clear so he would have been age 20 + something .
The incorrect parents removed , so now we really have to look if we can find the correct ones eeh :D
Just looked at this G2G , it's full of records !
And here is a Wikipedia page Philip added , guess with the google translate button you can read what it says.
O and it's not just one map, these were three different maps , I made a collage of those to show what name was used during what time, so the earliest one was Cool and the later version was Kool (in the maps that is)
