Research Notes

Speculative Account of Origins

See father Willem, there is a Hypothese the van Oldenbarneveldt family also was involved somehow with New Netherland, no real prove ,but there were some things that suggested this.

Pieter's father was Lord Willem of Stoutenburgh. I had found references that he was a treasurer of New Amsterdam and others that he was a treasurer of New Netherland. He had a home on Broad street, east side.

• source of the above :van Stoutenburgh USA [nader onderzoek gewenst, teveel aannames,op basis van nader onderzoek is de connectie zeer onwaarschijnlijk]

Willem was a great favorite of King Henry IV of France and was a gentleman-in-waiting at the king's court. He had been attached to the Dutch embassy of Francis Aerssens and gave him trouble. Aerssens had reported to Johan Oldenbarneveld that Willem was extravagant, idle, and pleasure loving. Later, Willem became Captain of cavalry and governor of the fortress Bergen op Zoom. After the death of his father Johan, all the family property was confiscated, and he was deprived of his governorship and captaincy. When the war resumed, he was not allowed to serve. Being reduced from a high station to obscurity did not sit well with him. Brooding, William swore to avenge the death of his father and blamed all their troubles on Maurice, the Stadtholder. William was the instigator of a plot to assassinate Maurice. The plot was discovered. Only Willem and van der Dussen, the husband of his cousin,from Elias Barneveld escaped, (though his brother, Reinier, Lord Groeneveld was caught and executed). Willem escaped to Rotterdam and then to Brussels where he lived under the protection of Archduchess Isabella. His wife would have nothing more to do with him and the dishonor he brought upon the family(=not true ,his wife send him money every year). Willem eventually became a Catholic and served as a Captain of Cavalry in the service of the Spanish. It is unknown if there were other children than Pieter.

Willem married Walburg de Marnix. She was the daughter of Jacob van Marnix, the only son of the famous Philip de Marnix, Lord of Alegonde. This is where it comes down to fact and fiction. Willem turned Catholic and dropped his surname for a short time and was just known as "Willem van Stoutenburg" due to the fact that the van Olden Barneveldt family was not in good ties with the Dutch King, Willem van Nassau. Willem may or may not have had children with Walburg.If so, it may or may not have been in wedlock. If Willem and Walburg did have a son, his name would be Pieter van Stoutenburg,assuming the lesser known name "van Stoutenburg" instead of "van Olden Barneveldt" due to his father's actions (true:Willem very often used the name van Stoutenburg instead of van Oldenbarneveldt).

If Pieter was his son, was he smuggled out of the country to the new Dutch settlement in NYC, then known as New Amsterdam? Pieter was very well off in New Amsterdam and had good government positions. If he was a peasant from Amersfoort, then how did he arise to such good standings? Willem has certainly been around, in Belgium and in Spain, it is unknown how many children he probably had. Though Pieter's daughter was named Wijntje, she was also known as Willemijntje or Wilhelmina, the female form of Willem. Whoever Pieter was, even if he was the son of Willem with an unknown woman, he is responsible for the majority of Stoutenburgs in the United States, out of the New York Area.
