Biography

Lisbeth was born between 1643 AND 1644 in Berlicum, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands.

David and Elizabeth with six children were living in Berlicum, North Brabant, a few miles south of Oss and Geffen. They left the port of Amsterdam September 2, 1662 on the ship Voss(Fox), to immigrate to America. Probably some time was spent in an English port and then about mid-September, the Voss again proceeded to New Netherlands.

After a stormy voyage they arrived in New Amsterdam on November 14, 1662. The Dutch West Indies company ledger for this trip is still preserved in the New York State archives in the state library at Albany, New York. Elizabeth and her oldest daughter, then nearly 21, joined the church in New Amsterdam. Elizabeth and her children were living in a small house owned by Jonas Barteltzen next-door to him on the market field. Later this was Whitehall Street, New York City, located across from where the weekly market was filed under the walls of the Fort Amsterdam.

Lisbeth occasionally had to "sell some household goods to procure food for her children," as she told the Orphan Masters Court when she was called before them on April 26, 1663.

Five years after David died, on January 29, 1668, now at age 52, she was married to Kier Wolters. She and her boys move to Harlem, just north of New York City, to Kiers farm. Abraham, her youngest child, was now nearly 12 and could help with the work. She died a couple of months later.
