Residence

New Netherland [19] [20]

In 1660, Roeloff Swartwout went to the Netherlands for farm implements. While he was there, the Directors of the West India Company gave him a commission as provisional Schout of the Village of Wildwyck, dated April 15, 1660. This commission authorized him to preside at meetings and act as judge. Director General Stuyvesant refused to recognize this appointment, saying that Roeloff was too young and inexperienced, but the directors ordered him to ratify the appointment, and Roeloff was appointed on May 23, 1661. The first session of the court was held on July 12, 1661. [21] He served as Schout for at least two years.

He is said to have arrived in New Netherland in April 1660 on the ship "The Spotted Cow" [22][23][24] If correct, this would be his return from the 1660 trip to the Netherlands.

Swartwout-512 and Swartwout-24 appear to represent the same person because: seems a good match, married / linked to same female.

Mix-216 Steven Mix
The patronymic Fredrickse on this Swartwout-241 has been around since the orignal import in 2011. But through merging and matching it is clear that Roeloff is the son of Thomas, not of a Frederick. So the Fredrickse patroymic should ultimately be removed.

Good catch, Steven. Thank you for correcting this.

Mix-216 Steven Mix
Per the note on the half-brother Jan, from Early New Netherland Settlers by Robert Gordon Clarke, Jan was the only child of Adrientje Symons.

By the dates, that mother died in childbirth on the same day Jan was born.

So therefore this son Roeloff Swartwout-24 belongs instead to the second wife, as in his match. So he should be disconnected from the mother Adrientje Symons as he is currently attached here.
