Biography

Ariaantje was a daughter and the oldest child of Jan Ryerse Schermerhorn and Engeltie Vrooman, baptized in Schenectady, New York on 21 June 1712. She was married to Nicholas de Graaf.[1]

Her father made his will on 28 October 1752. In the will, he mentioned his daughter Ariantie, wife of Claas de Groff, and left her 100 Pounds. [2]

She is not mentioned in the will of her husband, written 28 December 1790, so she is assumed to have died before that date. [3]
