Biography
Teuntje, the daughter of Laurens Jurriaansz Haff and Kniertie Pieters (Meet), was married to Johannes Martenszen Wiltse. They had twelve children, baptized between 1717 and 1739.[1]
Her parents had a daughter named Teuntje baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush (Long Island, New York) on 24 July 1681.[2] That is the only record known for their daughter Teuntje and some researchers have treated her as the wife of Johannes Wiltse, but it is not credible that she is the same girl who married a man born in 1695 and bore children as late as 1739. Accordingly, it must be assumed that the girl baptized in 1681 died in childhood and the Teuntje who married Johannes Wiltse is a child born later whose baptism record was lost.
Research Notes
This woman's given name is seen with a variety of spellings, such as Teuntje and Theuntje and Theuntie, but "Theunitje" is simply a misspelling -- it adds a syllable that does not belong.
Antonia appeared as a "middle name" on one profile for her. This is an anglicized equivalent to the Dutch name Theuntje. It is not a middle name. People did not give their children middle names in the 1600s.

Is there a source for the claimed date of thw marriage?
A note about the family of Lourens Haf in Pat Wardell's files stated: "In 1698. Lorus Haff and wife Cannerto, sons Jarwin, Peter, Johannes and Jacob; daus., Stinchie, Maria, Tuntie, Margaretta and Santa were living in Flushing, L. I." (Source is Bunker, Mary Powell. Long Island Genealogies (J. Munsell's Sons, Long Island, N.Y., 1895), page 207, apparently this information is from the 1698 New York census.) The order of the daughters in that list suggests that Teuntje ("Tuntie") was born some time after Styntje ("Stinchie") in 1683 and Maria in 1685, and before Margrietje in 1694. If the dates of the connected children on this profile and in Wardell's notes are correct, that places her between about 1685 and 1694. Brothers are indicated as born about 1686 and 1689, but there is space for at least one child between 1689 and 1694. I think that's where the second Teuntje fits!
