Died 1705 in Essex County, New Jersey, USA
Wife of John Francisco — married 4 Sep 1681 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands.
DESCENDANTS:
Mother of Hendrick Francisco, Abraham Francisco, Frans (Francisco) Franser, Barant Francisco and Johannis Francisco.
Elizabeth (Geitje, Geesje) Buijs was the wife of John Fransoy Franse 'Francisco' Sisco. John Fransoy/Franse/Francisco/Sisco, a French protestant (Huguenot) born about 1660 in France, who fled north to the Netherlands to escape religious persecution. His name probably just means "John the Frenchman" Jean le François in French. He was married to a Dutch woman, Elizabeth Geitje, either in the Netherlands or in New Jersey. In the Netherlands and in the Dutch community of Second River, New Jersey, he was known as Johannis Franse, which means "John French" in Dutch. Later the name was written as Francisco or Fran Sisco. He is supposed to have had at least five sons, Henry, Frans, Johannis, Abraham, and Barent. Many of the descendants of Barent in New Jersey shortened the name to "Sisco", whereas the descendants of Henry in New York and points west kept the full name of "Francisco". A southern branch of this family is descended from a John Francisco who moved to North Carolina about 1750. The southern branch changed the name from Francisco to Sisco or Cisco about 1800.
Elizabeth (Gerrits ?) Francisco formerly Buijs was born 1665 in Amsterdam Amsterdam Municipality Noord-Holland, Netherlands.

Research Notes
Elizabeth was my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother.
Here are the different, unrelated families that have been discovered so far:
1. A large family descended from John Fransoy, a French protestant (Huguenot) born about 1660 in France, who fled north to the Netherlands to escape religious persecution. His name probably just means "John the Frenchman" = Jean le Francois in French. He married a Dutch woman, Elizabeth Geitje, either in the Netherlands or in New Jersey. In the Netherlands and in the Dutch community of Second River, New Jersey, he was known as Johannis Franse, which means "John the Frenchman" in Dutch. Later the name was written as Francisco or Fran Sisco. He is supposed to have had five sons, Henry, Frans, Johannis, Abraham, and Barent. Many of the descendants of Barent in New Jersey shortened the name to "Sisco", whereas the descendants of Henry in New York and points west kept the full name of "Francisco". A southern branch of this family is descended from a John Francisco who moved to North Carolina about 1750. The southern branch changed the name from Francisco to Sisco or Cisco about 1800. A letter from Elon Francisco in the Family Research Documents at left shows how the name was in transition from Francisco to Cisco or Sisco in the early 1800's. Men of this lineage have the R1b1b2a1b Y chromosome haplotype of Western Europe, described in the following Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R1b1b2a1b
The John Fransoy Franse 'Francisco' Sisco Family History
From: Paul Hardeman Sisco Jr. who is conducting a Cisco/Sisco/Francisco Family DNA Project:
We haven't connected all the dots. But it appears our common ancestor was a French Protestant born about 1660 in France who fled France during the period of persecution of the protestants by King Louis XIV. His name is variously given as John Francisco, John Fransoy, and Johannis Franser. The name is probably a Dutch variant of "Jean le Francois" -- John the Frenchman. The word "Frans" in Dutch means "French. He married a Dutch woman named Elizabeth Geitje (pronounced and sometime spelled "Geeshee"). He died and is buried in New Jersey.
It is a pleasure to make the acquaintance of a descendant of a famous member of our town's past. 'Anthony Francisco' and 'John Francisco' are interred in the cemetery at the Old Dutch Church. Their names are read each year at the roll-call on the 4th of July. For the Revolutionary War Veterans, 66 patriots buried in the churchyard at the Old Dutch Church in Belleville, New Jersey.

From: Paul Sisco of the Cisco/Sisco/Francisco Family DNA Project: We are Related to (Old Henry Francisco) of Whitehall, New York, U.S.A.
Some exciting DNA results have just come in. Louis Joseph Francisco III, a direct descendant of Henry Francisco of Whitehall, NY, was DNA tested and his Y chromosome is an excellent match to the Y chromosome of other men who are part of the large Francisco/Sisco/Cisco family of French Protestant origin.
Not all of you may be familiar with Old Henry. He claimed to be 134 years old when he was interviewed by Benjamin Silliman in 1819. I’ve attached excerpts from that interview compiled by Shirley Wicker Hendrix of Murray, KY.
It’s generally agreed that some things in the interview are inaccurate. Henry may actually have been born in Essex County, NJ, as a son of John Fransoy/Franse/Francisco and his wife Elizabeth Geitje. It is more likely that his father John fled France at the time of the persecution of the French Protestants in the late 1600’s. John then married a Dutch girl. French Protestants were usually Calvinists, and they fled to countries or provinces where Calvinists were welcome: the Netherlands, England, parts of Germany, British North America, and Dutch-colonized South Africa. Frederick William, the ruler of the German state that included Berlin, was a Calvinist, and he issued a special Edict to help his co-religionists – the Edict of Potsdam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Potsdam
But his family did believe Henry died at the age of 134. I’ve attached page 2 of the family bible of his son Solomon Francisco of Cincinnati, Ohio. In the lower left-hand corner you can see the note about Henry’s death. If that is correct, Henry (born in 1686) would have been 82 when Solomon was born in 1768.
You can also see how fluid the spelling of the family name was. There are three spellings on this single page of the Bible – Francisco, Fran Sisco, and Sisco. Henry’s pension records from his service in the Revolutionary War also use all three spellings.
Henry is probably the most famous member of our family An article in Military History magazine in 2010 repeated much of the Silliman interview, and also included information about his pension records. A link to that article is:
http://www.mediabistro.com/portfolios/samples_files/88544_wuTnOmFSZzh7sYpWY4ti6MUix.pdf
Don’t believe everything you read about Old Henry. The events of his life and his age when he died are still controversial. But later generations of Francisco, Sisco, and Cisco men were noted for their long lives and their ability to produce children over a long period. Don’t forget that Senator Strom Thurmond started a family of four when he was 70 years old. The grandfather of one of my neighbors married a 14-year-old girl when he was 65 and proceeded to have nine children with her. Winter-spring marriages of that sort were not unusual in those days, especially when the man had a pension as Henry did. That gave security to his young wife.
Here is the lineage of Louis Joseph Francisco III from Old Henry. Louis’ ancestor Charles Austin Francisco of Richmond, Indiana, was a prominent banker in that town.
