Biography

Albert Alberts was baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, New Netherland, on 13 August 1651, recorded as the child of Albert Albertszen. The witnesses were Wolfert Gerritszen van Couwenhoven and Grietje Van Nes. ^{[1] [2]} Albert's mother is not on the baptismal record. She was Gerbrechtje Dircks, widow of Jans Janz.

Albert was a farmer in Flatlands. ^{[3] [4]} Albert was on the Flatlands assessment rolls in 1675, 1676, and 1683. He and Hendrickje were listed as members of the Flatlands church in 1677 and 1679. Albert gave 6 guilders towards the purchase of a bell for the Flatlands church on 23 August 1686. He transferred his church membership to the Hackensack church in 1689. He was a member of the East Jersey general assembly in 1695. He was appointed twice for 2-year terms as an Elder in the Hackensack church, in 1698 and 1702. ^{[5] [6]}

Albert married Hendrickje Stevense van Voorhees, daughter of Stephen Coert Van Voorhees and Willempie Roelofse Seubering, about 1674, based on an estimate of 1675 for the birth year of their first child. ^{[6] [7]} They were most likely married in Amersfoort (Flatlands), where both families were settled.

Albert and Hendrickje had children: ^{[8] [6]}

1. Jan (John), ca 1675, married Elizabeth Bertholf about 1699, died about 1718
2. Willemptje, bp. 2 April 1677, Midwoud, died about November 1682. ^[9]
3. Antje, ca 1678, married Jacob Zabriskie in 1699
4. Stephen, born 4 April 1680, bp. 18 Apr 1680, New Utrecht; parents Albert Alberts and Hendrickje Stephens, witnesses Lucas Stephens, Styntje Alberts ^[8] (p. 14), married, first, Lydia Demarest
5. Gerbrechtje, bp. 13 Aug 1682, Amersfoort, parents Albert Alberts and Hendrickje Stephens, witnesses Jan Martensz, Jannetje Stephens ^[8] (p. 34), married Abram Housman
6. Willemtje, bp. 7 December 1684, Amersfoort, parents Albert Albertsz and Hendrikje Stephens, witnesses Jan Stephensz, Willemtje Soubering ^[8] (p. 46), married, first, Jacobus Bongaert
7. Marretje, bp. 31 October 1686, Amersfoort, parents Albert Albertse Terhuyn and Hendrickje Stephense, witnesses Dirch Jansen Amerman, Altie Pouls ^[8] (p. 52), married Hendrick Bertholf
8. Rachel, bp. 22 Aug 1690, Bergen (born in Hackensack), married Jan Hoppe

Of note is that Albert's "Terhuyn" surname first appears on these church records in 1686.

Albert moved from Flatlands to Hackensack about 1689. In May 1689 "upon letters from other churches" Albert became a member of the Reformed Dutch Church of Hackensack, and on 22 September 1694 "upon confession of faith," his wife Weyntie Brickers also became a member.^{[10] [11]} On 28 November 1693 Albert Albertson Terhuynen conveyed about 3 acres of land in Flatlands to Pieter Nevius. Recorded 7 March 1694. Page 356 of Kings County Deeds.^[12]

Hendrickje died before 1693, when Albert married Weyntie Brickers, the daughter of Jan Bricker and Gierte Fonda. Their marriage year is based on the birth of her first known child in early 1694. The Bricker family was of Albany, but Wenytie's siblings, mother, and step-father all appear in Hackensack church records, so they apparently moved to the area perhaps shortly after 1690.

Albert and Weyntie most probably were married in New Barbadoes Township, Province of East Jersey, as the baptisms of their children were all in the Hackensack Reformed Dutch Church. They had children (spellings of Albert's surname shown):^[6]

1. Geertru or Geertruy, baptized 10 March 1694, daughter of Albert Terhuyne, witnesses Teunis Slingerland and Geertie Fonda, his wife (p. 74)^[11], married Hendrick Banta
2. Albertus, baptized in 1695, son of Albert Terhuynen, witnesses Theunis Slingerlandt and Geertruyt Fonda (p. 75)^[11], married Anna Maria Ackerman
3. Johannes, baptized 21 June 1700, son of Albert Terhuyn, witnesses Klase Jans Romeyn and Stintie, his wife (p. 82)^[11], married, first, Geese Westervelt
4. Dirck, baptized 26 July 1702, son of Albert Terhuyne, witnesses Jan Klaus Romeyn and Maregitie Brickers (p. 85)^[11], married Catharina Kip
5. Weyntie, baptized 1 April 1705, daughter of Albert Terhuyne, witnesses Johannes Slingerland and Elena Vander Schuere (p. 89)^[11], married Gerret Lydecker

Weyntie died shorty after her daughter Weyntie was baptized, as Albert married, third, Maritie DeGraves, widow of Andries Tibout, on 8 September 1705 (p. 29).^[11] Weyntie is buried in the Hackensack Cemetery, per Find A Grave: Memorial #222925885.

Weyntie's death was probably related to childbirth, as on 3 October 1704 Albert Terhuynen, husbandman, wrote his will, giving his entire estate to Weyntie for 14 years or until remarriage, then half of the estate, with the other half evenly divided among named children John, Steven, Annitie, Gerbring, Williamke, Maritye, Rachel, Albertus, and Geertruyd.^[13][6] At that time Albert expected that his much younger wife would outlive him.

Albert and Maritie had one child:

1. Annatie, baptized 15 Dec 1706, parents Albert Terhuynen and Maritie DeGraves, witnesses Jan Terhuynen and Elisabeth his wife (p. 91) .^[11]

On 16 Feb 1707/8 Albert wrote a second will:

Albert Terhuness of Hackensack, Essex, New Jersey. Wife Mary, Appointed brother John Terhunes of Flatlands, NY and brother-in-law Albert Stevens of Hackensack as tutors of his children. Estate to John, Steven, Gertruyd, Willementie, Marritie, Rachel, Albertus, Johannes, Dirck, Wyntie, Annettie. Proved 20 Sep 1709.^[14]

The Will also provided: Provision is made for wife Mary, who is to have, among other things, a gold ring, "being in weight and price £1." All the rest of estate to children John, Stephen, Gertruyd, Willementie, Maritie, Rachel, Albertus, Johanes, Dirck, Wyntie and Annettie. My wife is to have the northwest chamber in the house, and firewood, and a piece of ground for a garden, and 10 schepples of corn and 6 schepples of wheat yearly. "Done at my common dwelling house in Hackensack, in the cellar chamber at 9 of the clock in the evening." Witnesses: William Borthoff, Claas Rugen, Albert Scerens, John Conrad Codwin. ^[15]

Albert died within a year of writing his second will, as Maritie DeGrave, widow of Albert Terhuyne, married Jan Aliee (Alyea), widower of Susanna Laroe, banns posted on 23 September 1709 (p. 33). ^[11] It was customary for Dutch widows to wait one year before remarrying, placing Albert's death perhaps in August or September 1708.
