Biography

Annetje was baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush, New York, on February 24, 1684 (old-style date would be 1683/84, but the Dutch churches in New Netherland did not use the Julian calendar). She was recorded as a child of Elderd Lucasz and Stijntje Hendricks.^[1]

She married Hans Bergen.

Her father's will of 23 February 1711 mentions her as Anne, wife of Hans Bergen. ^[2]

Research Notes

LNAB

Lucassen is the only surname that Annetje appears with in records before taking her husband's surname. Though she was baptized without a surname, there is no record of Annetje using her father's first name as a surname. Elderts, Annetje's assumed patronymic, has been added to her first name field.

Parents

A Geni profile identifies her father as ELDERT LUCASE VOORHIES, a son of Lucas Stevense Van Voorhees and Catalyntje Hansen Van Noorstrant who died in 1688.^[4] The chronology appears plausible, but evidence seems to be lacking.
