Biography

Aeldert Heymensz was born in Herwijnen, Gelderland, in about 1618. No record of his baptism or birth has been located.

According to Engel Roza in De Herwijnse Ro(o)sa’s en de herkomst van hun familienaam, the earliest record of Aeldert Heymensz Roosa is the record of the 1655 baptism of his daughter Neelke, which also names his wife Wijlke Ariens de Jongh. That record identifies him with his patronymic name. The first record that shows him with the family name of Roosa is a deed on 3 March 1660.^[1]

A(e)l(d)ert Heymensz wordt het eerst genoemd in de doopakte van zijn dochter Neelke in 1655, waar we ook in lezen dat zijn vrouw Wijlke Ariens de Jongh heet. De eerste aanwijzing dat ook Aeldert de familienaam Ro(o)sa gaat voeren wordt gevonden in de volgende akte:^[1]
Translated: A(e)l(d)ert Heymensz is mentioned for the first time in the baptismal certificate of his daughter Neelke in 1655, where we also read that his wife is called Wijlke Ariens de Jongh. The first indication that Aeldert will also carry the Ro(o)sa family name later is found in the following deed:

3 maart 1660; Alen Heymensz Roosa nabuer tot Herwijnen heeft vercoft en opgedragen voor de helfte van vier mergen lants onverscheijden end onverdeijlt met de erven van Govert Ariensz de Jongh inne den gerichte van Hellouw binnen den paelgraeft gelegen tusschen lant van Jasper Geritz oost en Gerardt Falcken west streckende ten zuijden aen lant van willem Jansz cum suis end ten noorden <...> off soo wie en met laste van acht voeten schoordijcks gelegen inne den gerichte van Herwijnen beneden het middel van elk hoeft ende met de helfte van eens thijns van acht gulden jaerlicxs d’erven van Govert Ariens de Jongh voorschreven in eenen eygendom erfflick te hebben en te besitten ende comparant voornoemd verteech daer op en hij geloofde en ende ten waervan ne den boedel van Arien Meertens en borders van sijnen wegh t’onzen lanrecht actum iii martii <1660>^[1]
Translated: Alen Heymensz Roosa nabuer to Herwijnen has sold and dedicated half of four morgen land (onverscheijden en onverdeeld=) in good relations with (and to?) the heirs of Govert Ariensz de Jongh in the (gericht=) court of Hellouw within the paelgraft lying between the land of Jasper Geritz (East) and Gerardt Falcken (West) stretching to the south to land of Willem Jansz cum suis end to the north ... or so who and with charge of eight feet situated in the direction of Herwijnen below the middle of each hoeft (head ?)) and with the halve of a thijns (tax) of jearly eight guilders, the heirs of the afore mentioned Govert Ariens de Jongh to have and possess in one hereditary property and the aforesaid comparant (Alen Heijmensz) 'verteech' (=waives?) and promisses and and of which the estate of ​​Arien Meertens and borders of his way at our landright (court) actum iii martii 1660.

Aeldert Heymensz, buurmeester in Herwijnen, had via zijn vrouw Wijntje Ariens de Jongh een dubbele verwantschap met de familie.
Translated: Aeldert Heymensz, 'buurmeester' in Herwijnen, had a double affinity with the family through his wife Wijntje Ariens de Jongh . ^[1]

On the 16th of April 1660 he and his family arrived at New Amsterdam, New Netherland, on the Bonte Koe (Spotted Cow), recorded as "Albert Heymans, farmer, from Gelderland, wife and 8 children: 17, 15, 14, 9, 8, 7, 4, 2 yrs old."^[2]

His wife was Wyntje Ariens (Welke de Jonge). A footnote in Gustave Anjou's compilation of Ulster County probate records lists their eight children as follows:^[3]

1. Heyman Alderse Roosa (1643- ? ) m. Ann Margriet Rosevelt
2. Arien Roosa (1645 - ? ), m. Maria Eversen Pels
3. Jan Roosa (1651 - ?) m. Hillegondt Willems
4. Neeltie Roosa (1656 - ?) m. Henry Pawling
5. Ike Roosa (1658 - ? ) m. Roelof Kierstede
6. Jannetie Roosa (1659 - ?) m. Mattys Ten Eyck
7. Mary Roosa (1660 - ?) m. Lourens Jansen
8. Guert (1663 - ? ), Baptism Date: 15 June 1663

The will of his son-in-law, Henry Pawling, husband of Neeltje, dated 1691, names her brothers Arien Rosa and Gysbert Rosa.^[4]

Aldert Heimansse Rosa died on 27 February 1679, just a few days before the baptism on 2 March of his grandson Aldert Rosa. The child's baptism record identifies witness Wielke de Jongh as Aldert's widow and gives his date of death.^[5]
