Rich Hollenbeck's Thoughts about some of the alleged children of Willem and Fytje

"I have never found any reports from https://www.genealogieonline.nl/en/the-forgotten-ones/ that I trust.
  • Tryntje Catharina (Goes) Hollenbeck (1706– ). There appears a daughter of Matthias John Goes and Cornelia Mattheuse Van Deursen, a wife of John William Hollenbeck at geni and at RootsWeb. She is the wife of Jan Willemse Hollenbeck/Halenbeck
  • Gerrit Halenbeck (1720–1778): Willem Jansz would have been in his early 40s when Gerrit Halenbeck (1720–1778) was born. But Fytje Van Vechten (1671 - 1722), being more than five years older than Willem, would be 50 or nearly 50 at the time of Gerrit's birth. No sources found. Opinion or best guess: DOUBTFUL. Still searching. I have the Claverack baptism book in the shopping cart at Kinship to order as soon as the website is restored (it is down for an upgrade). I will revisit this record after that book arrives and I am able to check for a baptism there. [ Miranda Cartier There is no evidence this son ever existed with Willem or any of the other siblings]

Quoting from Van Deursen Family, Volume I (1912)[12], “. . . on July 8, 1723, at Albany, the ‘Widow Cornelia Hoes’ married (2d) Williaem Hallenbeck (Albany Church Records), whose first wife was Feytje Dirksz, dau of Dirk Teunessen Van Vechten and Jannetie Michiels of Katskil, to whom he was married May 23, 1697, and by whom he had several children.” Similar information is related in History of Cornelius Maessen Van Buren, 1913,[13], these two sources offer different accounts of the children of Matthys and Cornelia Hoes.

Hallenbeck-140 and Jansz-450 appear to represent the same person because: After cornelia’s spouse died - she remarried William Jansz (now known as Hollenbeck) this was marked as an unmerged matched over a year ago and if the correct van Deusen/goes(hoes) match was made with Cornelia this Merge needs to be made

Oldest paternal ancestor

Draper-310 Richard Draper
Janze is a Dutch patronymic meaning his father was Jan. Sometimes it is useful for genealogists. It might also be confusing to genealogists.

Hollenbeck-914 Miranda (Hollenbeck) Cartier
I understand your trepidation however as a New Netherland Settler he falls under the ‘Last Name at Birth’ usage for how a profile is styled, all other names he may have then used later in life are fully captured in his other last name field
posted by Miranda (Hollenbeck) Cartier
Mark Hallenbeck
I added sources for two extensive genealogies published in the early 20 century for the Van Deusen and Van Buren families. These present similar data for Cornelia Van Deusen (1660-1723) including her second marriage to William Jansz Hallenbeck, 3 Jul 1723. It seems unlikely that any children issued from this marriage. Cornelia's year of death does not seem correct.

Cornelia's profile links a second marriage to William Hallenbeck. This profile has no other family links. Is this "our" William? If so, should Jansz-450 and Hallenbeck-140 be merged? Then we have to sort out the children of Cornelia's first marriage.

posted by Mark Hallenbeck
Hollenbeck-914 Miranda (Hollenbeck) Cartier
Hallenbeck-140 can be merged into Jansz-450 to keep with NNS patronymic

After Fytje's death in 1722, "Williaem" married second Cornelia Matthijsse (Van Deusen) Goes (1667–1723) after 8 Jul 1723 at the First Dutch Reformed Church, Albany, Albany, New York. Cornelia had married first 21 Oct 1685 Mattys Janse Hoes or Goes (1659-1723). Her parents were Teuwes "Mathew" Abraham Van Deusen and Helena Robberts.

All of our research indicates Cornelia / William had no children from their marriage

Hollenbeck-914 Miranda (Hollenbeck) Cartier
I 100% presume their marriage to be a shotgun wedding based on Rachel’s birth (his is a guess though)

The Hoes/Goes line his second wife’s children from first marriage

What are we double checking

posted by Miranda (Hollenbeck) Cartier
Hollenbeck-72 Richard Hollenbeck
Fytje was 26 and Willem was 19 when they married. Six months after their marriage, their first child Rachel was born. Fytje died when her youngest daughter Sara was only about seven years old.

Here are the approximate ages of Willem's grandchildren at the time of his death: Cornelia Hoes: 11, Mareitje Spoor: 11, Catharina Spoor: 9, Sarah Spoor: 8, Christoffel Muller: 6, Dirk Muller: 4. Many of his grandchildren were born after his death.

I didn't take the trouble to calculate dates within the years--just a rough reasonableness check. Please double check my math.

Hollenbeck-72 Richard Hollenbeck
Hallenbeck-140 is not ready to be merged into Jansz-450 because this is a somewhat "iffy" merge to begin with. Much research must be done to make sure this is a correct merge. Is Cornelia Van Deusen the right spouse? (example)
posted on Hallenbeck-140 (merged) by Richard Hollenbeck
Hollenbeck-914 Miranda (Hollenbeck) Cartier
You are correct - us lay people aren't privy to seeing these original documents - but someone from The Holland Society saw them when they transcribed and rewrote all these baptism records. The Last Name Willem was using at the time of his marriage and first several children's birth was "Jansz" https://archive.org/details/yearbookofhollan00holland/page/76 I have a vested interest in seeing this reflected properly as Willem is my 7th Great Grandfather. I know patronymics didn't stop all at the same time with the New Netherland Settlers and some families adopted a proper surname sooner than others; but in Willem's case he was still using a patronymic LNAB. Hope that helps.

Hollenbeck-72 Richard Hollenbeck
Richard Lanman Jr. writes, "Most of the original documents do not use the Hallenbeck spelling...."

While I agree that there is a wide variety of spellings, who among us, if anybody, has ever really seen the "ORIGINAL" documents? As I understand it, we are looking at typed copies of handwritten copies of yet more handwritten copies. Any originals if they still existed, would be unreadable or nearly unreadable. Some of the scribes spoke English and others spoke German and others Dutch. The variety in spelling is almost certainly affected by that. So Last Name At Birth is not obvious from these "original" documents.

Hallenbeck-51 and Halenbeek-22 appear to represent the same person because: I just created Halenbeek-22. Most of the original documents do not use the Hallenbeck spelling, but I'd prefer to merge and use Hallenbeck as this seems the correct spelling.
