She was not married to Hendrick Harmensen (de Boer, de Boor) see post below from Louis (from 2016) so I removed him as her husband now. Some genealogies had him added as husband to Femmetje her stepdaughter but she also wasn't married to him, he either is a duplicate of this Harmensen-3 or maybe he was a totally different Hendrick Harmens who married a woman named Egbertje Jans as was mentioned by Lois;

Hendrick de Boer (farmer) was Hendrick Harmensen who settled in Long Island 1638. Wife named as Egbertie Jans, had a daughter Grietie b. 1616 who married Abraham Ryker (Riker). Hendrick died in 1643, killed by Indians...

The perhaps duplicate has the daughter Grietje that married Abraham Ryker but.. he is also attached as husband of Trijntje Herxson, because he was attached and imported (several times) as husband of Femmetje which was incorrect it's possible he didn't exist ?

So will look if there are sources that show if was a couple Hendrick Harmens (de Boer) and Egbertie Jans...

Hi,

Maria Roberts Roberts-6559 and Marij Roberts Roberts-1194 are marked as Unmerged Matches because it looks like they perhaps are the same, but not certain (no sources) so needs some research, and perhaps the manager of the Roberts-6559 knows if she was intended to be this Maria ?

If so they can be merged of course, thanks for the help it's appreciated !

Greets from the Netherlands,

Bea :)

This says Maria died in 1610, yet was married in 1618 and had a child in 1619?

Maria Roberts DOB is not in question; two spouses/marriage dates not logical. Hendrick Do Boor (farmer) was Hendrick Harmensen per Riker/Ryker records, with Abraham Riker marrying daugh. of Hendrick. Hendrick killed by Indians in 1643, and his wife married Jeuriaen Fradell NA in 1645.

2nd wife of John Seals was a widow Maria Roberts(son) Sloof. John (Jan/Old Jan) died April 1645 & his land 1/2 to her, and spouse of his daugh. Phoebe, who was Teunis Nyssen (Nijssen). Maria married 3rd Thomas Grydy(?) on 8-9-1645. Maria is not the mother of Phoebe AKA Femmetje. In addition to the above about Hendrick, he is also on tree records as the husband of Phoebe in error. Maria Roberts should not be merged with anyone as mother of Femmentje Jans (dau. of John & wife of Teunis Nyssen.
