I am descended from Paulus Van de BEECK, through is dau, Hester paulus Van der BEECK and Jeurian BLANCK, Jr. (the first native-born American Silversmith). I have a large file of descendants of Thomas BADIE, father of Maria BADIE, which I am willing to share. It is in Word for Windows 95 (7.0) text format.

Here's what I have on Mary BADIE and Paulus (and her two previous husbands):

11. Mary/Marie/Maria/Marryke Thomas/Thomasdr Badie/Baddie/Badye, b. 1608, Netherlnds; d. > 1690, ca. 1697; m1. ca. 1623, Jacob Fernon/Farden/Verdon/ Verdonck/Vardon/ Fardon/Ferdon of France (b. 1600-1605, (France, Holland or Denmark), d. < 1636 (prob in Netherlands, may have IMMIGRATED ca. 1630), son of Jan/Jean Verdon; m2. ca. 1636-7, New Amsterdam, William Ariaense/Adriaensen Bennet (de Cuyper), of Gowanus (b. prob < 1610, France, Holland or Denmark, of FRENCH descent; d. Mar 9 - Sep 9, 1644, (in Dutch-Indian War)), a Cooper, son of Adriaen Bennet; m3. Oct 9, 1644, NYDRC, Paulus Van der Beek/Van der Bec/Beec/Beecq/Diepenbeeck, (IMMIGRANT Ancestor, ca 1643-45), (b. ca. 1623, from Bremen, Germany, d. 1680, Brooklyn (Flatbush DC)). She came to New Amsterdam, 1635-1638.

Mary probably came to America after 1634, and prior to her second marriage. She probably came with her mother and step-father, Cornelis Lambertse Cool. She may have come with her husband Jacob, who family tradition says worked for the DWIC. He is reputed to have mde several trips back and forth to America.

Jacob was Secretary of the Dutch West Indies Company. She was wealthy and gave a silver communion service to the Dutch church of Brooklyn. They came to New Amsterdam in 1630.

William was in New Netherland by 1636. IMMIGRANT. In 1636, he, with Jacques Bentyn, bought 693 acres of land at Gowanus, from the Indians. The house he built there may have been the first house built by a white man in Brooklyn. In 1639, he purchased his partner's interest. About 1643, the house was destroyed by the Indians.

Paulus was originally a farmer from Bremen, went to Curacao, then to New Netherland, became a farmer on Long Island. Paulus was a surgeon for the Dutch West India Company (He had served in Curacao and on the company's ships). May 12, 1646, ground-brief for lot 14, a house with garden next to lot of William Bredenbent (his step-father-in-law). He lived at lot 36, Block C, on the Castello Plan map. He was a member (one of 19) of the Convention, in 1653, which petitioned Gov Stuyvesant for more rights for the colonists. [Volume II of History of New Netherland by E.B. O'Callahan, published 1848.] Deed, Mar 22, 1653, to the Deaconry of New Amsterdam for: the same. She and Paulus l in NYC until ca. 1655. In 1656, he resigned his position of company doctor. He was a farmer of the burgher's excise on wine and beer. He sold the same, but the brewers of New Amsterdam complained, in Jan 1657, that this was a violation of the order in the Netherlands. A Small Burgher - Apr 11, 1657. They later l in the Bennet house, in Brooklyn. He was the first physician or surgeon in the small settlement (1660 - 31: families, 134 people) of Gowanus (Breuckelin), where he maintained a large and prosperous farm, and practiced his profession. Farmer of the Revenue, 1656-1661. 1660, he is shown as farmer of the slaughter (butcher), in NYC, in court records. Manhattan. 1661, Farming the excise on Long Island. 1662. Ferrymaster, Manhattan and Brooklyn in 1662. On Feb 3, 1662, he hired carpenters to build him a house at Gowanus. On Sep 27, 1662, Maria transferred from the NADRC to the church at Brooklyn. He bought plantation lot #17 at Gravesend, Oct 24, 1663. 1665, L. Brooklyn. 1675, taxpayer, Brooklyn. 1677, one of patentees of the Brooklyn patent. Aug 6, 1679, he sold one half of the farm in Gowanus, formerly of William Bradenbent, to Willem Huyken, for 3000 guilders. He resided on the farm late of Garret Bergen, in Gowanus.

On Oct 3, 1684, Maria donated two silver beakers to the church at Brooklyn. One of these beakers has been preserved. On Feb 28, 1694, Maria signed a deed. Mabel Spell believed that Maria lived at least 87 years. Maria inherited property from her mother, her step-father and two husbands.

Paulus was from BREMEN.

Rem Van der BEECK was the son of Johannes, as shown by his usually used patronymic, Rem JANSEN. Interestingly, most of his children continued with: the changing patronymic pattern and became REMSENS. One or two branches of: his descendants took the permanent SURNAME - Van der BEECK, much to the confion of those descended from Paulus.
