Biography

Baptism

  • 2 Dec 1646 Tuil, Neerijnen, Gelderland, Netherlands[1]

Immigration

  • MAR 1663 'Rose Tree', to New York, NY[2]

Marriage

He married Jannetje Adriaens in 1672, apparently at Flatbush, Long Island. Evidence for the date of their marriage is that on 26 February 1672 Gysbert Tysz at New Utrecht paid the Flatbush Church a marriage fee of two English shillings.[3] Jannetje and her family had also immigrated on de Rooseboom (The Rose Tree) in 1663, recorded as "Adriaen Lammertsen, from Tielderweert, wife and six children, 17, 15, 11, 7, 5, and 3 years old, and Jacob Hendrix, his nephew."[4] Tielderweert was indicated to be the country around Tiel (or Thuyl) in Gelderland.[5] Tiel is about 14 km from Gijsbert's baptism place of Tuil. It is possible that the families were acquainted in the Netherlands, and likely that they were well-acquainted from journeying together to New Netherland. Ledley and Moorhouse suggested that "Gisbert" and Jannetje were the eleven-year old children enumerated in their fathers' ship records and that they "began a shipboard romance which continued ashore, even though Gisbert’s family settled in New Utrecht and Jannetje’s in the New Lots section of Flatbush."[6]

Death

  • Gijsbert died in 1727.[8] Since his will was proved 17 May 1727, he died before that date.[9] Since he was of Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey when his will was written in 1720,[9] it is likely that he died at Middletown.

If his baptism on 2 Dec 1646 took place a short time after his birth, he would have been 16 years old when he sailed aboard the Rose Tree in March 1663. The ages of the children were listed in the ship records as 17, 15, 13, 11. Perhaps a calendar conversion would cause this discrepancy. Or perhaps he was considered to be in the "17th year of his age."

In any case, that would make him one of the oldest, if not the oldest, child. In many genealogies, he is listed as the youngest child of the first wife. However, when his father's estate was settled, his name was listed last, after Tonis and Hendrick. Often, the sons are listed in age order. Perhaps this is why many genealogies place him farther down in the birth order. https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/48331/images/LongIslandSrcRec-001929-74?ranMID=50138&ranEAID=4026539&ranSiteID=Xib7NfnK11s-MBxrqUL2LDinS1RVEy_dCQ&o_xid=4026539&o_lid=4026539&o_sch=Affiliate+External&pId=295673

Another possibility is that this is not his baptismal record.

These comments are general in nature; I haven't delved into the records for the family...

I don't know much about the accuracy of the children's ages given in ship records for New Netherland, but I do know that calendar transition issues don't apply here. The Netherlands (with the rest of Western Europe) were on the Gregorian calendar ("New Style" dating) since 1582, when Pope Gregory dictated the change. The British Isles (Anglican) and Orthodox Christian countries lagged behind in making the transition. I have found that the Dutch churches in New Netherland continued to use the Gregorian calendar in their records after the English took control, but when we work with civil records created by English authorities we may need to contend with calendar issues.

According to Dutch custom, Gijsbert (the name of the maternal grandfather) would have been the name of the second son, the first son being named for the paternal grandfather. The son Jan baptized in 1644 could have been named for the paternal grandfather, consistent with the indication that Mathijs had the patronymic name Jansen. When children died (particularly the children who were named for their grandparents in keeping with Dutch custom), the name of the deceased child would go to the next child of the same gender, so there is a decent chance that the Gijsbert baptized in 1646 died young and was replaced by a son born later (such as in 1652). The indication that a son born after emigration to New Netherland was given the name Jan suggests that the child called Jan who was baptized in 1644 had died.

Laenen-8 and Van Pelt-142 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. These matches have been reviewed by the New Netherland Settlers Merge Approval System, and the "Green" destination NNS profile is protected as PPP, and the "Merge Pending" profile is now ready and able to be merged into it. I saved the data to the bios. Thanks!
