Biography
Elizabeth ("Elsie") Staets/Staats was a daughter of Abraham Staets and his wife Catharina ("Tryntje") Jochems. She was born in Beverwyck, New Netherland (now Albany, New York) in the late 1650s.[1]
She was married to Johannes Wendell by about 1677 or 1678. He was a widower with two children from a prior marriage.[2] Her first child was born in 1678. Children of her marriage to Johannes Wendell were:[3]
- Abraham, born 1678, married Katrina Theunis DeKay
- Susanna, married Johannes Lucas Wyngart
- Catalynte, married Jacob Davidse Schuyler, died 1701
- Elisabeth, married Johannes Ten Broeck, died 1712
- Ephraim, born 1685, died 1731
- Isaac, born 1687, died in infancy
- Isaac, born 1688, married Catalyna Van Dyck
- Sara, born 1688, married Jacob Sanders Glen
- Jacob, born 1691, married Sarah Oliver.
Johannes Wendell died in 1691 or 1692.[4] Elisabeth was principal beneficiary and executrix of the estate.[5][6]
On 25 April 1695 Elsie married Johannes Philipse Schuyler, a much younger man, as her second husband. There were four children from this marriage:[7]
- Philip, born December 1695
- Johannes, born 1697, married Cornelia Van Cortlandt
- Margaret, born 1701, maried Philip Pieterse Schuyler
- Catalyntie, born 1704, married Cornelius Cuyler
The Schuyler household was a prosperous one, among the wealthiest in Albany. Johannes Schuyler was appointed mayor of Albany in 1703 and elected to the provincial Assembly in 1710.[8] However, in the years following the second marriage, the Wendell children complained that their mother and stepfather did not support them adequately and had not distributed the estate as directed by their father's will.[9]
Elisabeth Staats died in June 1737 (3 June 1737?) and was buried from the Albany Dutch Church, identified as the wife of Johannes Schuyler. Her husband survived her.[10]

As noted on Abraham's profile, many genealogies name only one wife of Abraham, perhaps because the will, made April 21, 1683, names Tryntie Joachims, the first wife, before his 1684 marriage to Catrina. Both wives Tryntje and Catrina, however had the same patronymic, being in both cases a daughter of a different Jochem.
So it seems clear to me that we need to detatch both daughters from Catrina as mother, and then set them for merge into the matching Elizabeth Staets-43.
