Research Notes

There are at least two girls by this name needing to be disambiguated. There are baptisms recorded for two Aagjen Freers born to brothers: one born 1725, daughter of Hugo and Marytjen Freer; and one born 1721 to Abraham and Jannetje Freer. This source has given the Aagjen Freer who married Isaac Deyo as the daughter of Abraham Freer.

Meaning of the "bo. & liv." entry (below) is ambiguous. It may mean Isack was born and living at New Paltz, and Aegje was born and living in Dutchess County, or it may mean that both of them were born in New Paltz and were living in Dutchess County. (New Paltz was not in Dutchess County, so this cannot be interpreted as indicating that they lived in New Paltz, Dutchess County.)
