Biography

Married by license to Edward Barber in the New York Dutch Church on 3 December 1714, Marike Tijs was the daughter of Peter Tyssen and Barbara Jans per New York Genealogical and Biographical Record^[1], referenced by J.S. Elston^[2] in his Tice Families reference work on page 22 entries 4,5.

On 23 November 1718, in the Freehold/Middletown RDC, "Edward Barber and wife" served as witnesses for the baptism of Peter, a child of Marike's brother, Matthias Pieerszen, and his wife, Geesie Hendricksen.

Marike joined the Freehold Church in January 1724 (GMNJ^[3], 23:94): "Admitted to the congregation Jan 1724; Marike, wife of Ed. Barber, on confession" (GMNJ^[3], 22:5). She is identified again in the membership list of the Freehold church in 1731, "Maria Berber, wife of Edwert Berber." (GMNJ^[3], 23:94)

See the entry for her husband, Edward Barber for details of their known and probable children.
