SWART History

IV

JESAIAS SWART, son of Teunis and Christina (Vrooman) Swart, was baptized at Schenectady, New York, May 3, 1713. He died at Scholharie, New York in 1782, where he lived most of his life and where his will, dated February 22, 1781, was proved June 14, 1782. In it he named his oldest son, Teunis; youngest son, Bartholomew; daughter, Sarah; deceased daughter Geertruy and her heir Josias Clark; daughters Steynge, Maria, Engel and Eva; deceased daughter Susannah and her heirs, Engel and Eva.

Jesaias Swart married (first) at Schoharie, New York, October 2, 1737, Janneke Vrooman; (second), January 9, 1747-48, Geertruy Vrooman, daughter of Bartholomew Vrooman, of Schenectady. Geertry (Vrooman) Swart died intestate, and letters of administration were granted September 21, 1799, to Bartholomew Swart and Johannes I. Lawyer. For some reason settlement was delayed until 1816, when David Swart and Bartholomew Swart, Jr., petitioned the court for settlement.
