Notes from Early Bergen County Families

The following notes are from the EBC web site and research to revalidate the indicated dates and places is ongoing.

The family name is also from the old English Cyning meaning tribal leader.

Pieter de Ceuninck became member of the church of Groede Jan. 1666 with attest from the church of Guines (near Calais); afterwards he went to Retranchement (near Sluis); he is probably the same as the Pieter de Keunijngh who became member of the church of Groede July 1672, together with his wife Anna Koleths, with attest from Sint Anna ter Muiden (also near Sluis) later he moved to Sluis

Pieter de Koninck, en Anna Calet, syn Huysvr. were accepted into membership of the NYC Ref Ch 27 Feb 1679.

Pieter de Coninck II (Peter King II) & his wife Anna Calet, were immigrants to New Castle County, Delaware by 1680/81.2

27 febr. 1679, Pieter de Koninck en Alla Caler zijn huisvr. Probably this Alla Caler (typing error for Anna?) is the same person as the Anna Koleths [orginal French form probably Colet or Collet], who was wife of Pieter de Koninck and who were both mentioned in Groede 1672. It is not clear yet if this Pieter is the father of Jacob and Anna his stepmother, or a half-brother, but they were (very) probably related. Jacob's father Pieter had by his second wife Tanneke Guilliaems de Puijdt only one son and 4 daughters, who inherited from their mothers side, so Pieter can't be a full brother.

In 1684 Peter Sluyter, John Moll (an early presiding justice of the court at New Castle) and others purchased 3,750 acres from [Augustine] Herman, manorial proprietor of the 20,000-acre Bohemia Manor (whose son Ephraim was a Labadist), as a site for a Labadist colony:

"The Labadist community was limited to one hundred persons, with Peter Sluyter as its head and his wife installed as abbess. Sluyter grew rich, dealt in slaves and tobacco and lived well, while the members of the colony suffered many privations. Sluyter died in 1722 and the Labadist colony scattered and none were left five years after his death. In 1698, Sluyter divided up a portion of the land, of which he had become sole proprietor, and conveyed three necks to Herman Van Barkelo, Nicholas de la Montaigne, Peter D. Koning, Derick Kolchman, John Moll, Jr., Hendrick Sluyter and Samuel Bayard.^[2]
