Biography

Marretje Pieters, daughter of Pieter Cornelise Luyster, was married to Pieter Pieterse Monfoort.[1] She is estimated to have been born about 1657 in New Netherland, based on the birth dates of her children. Some sources give her birth date as 21 July 1652, but this is her husband's baptism date. Profile Luyster-8 gave New Amsterdam as her birth place. Profile Luyster-91 gave her birth place as Newton, Queens, New York. Her baptism is not in New Amsterdam church records.

Her husband Pieter Montfoort was baptized in New Amsterdam on 21 July 1652. The New Amsterdam church records don't show this woman being baptized on that date. I reviewed the New Amsterdam church records from 1652 to 1660 and did not find a record for her baptism.
