Johannes Ambeck Van Beeck born ca. 1620, died in before Nov 1658 when his widow re-married. The marriage entry states "Maria Verlet, Wede, Van Johannes Van Beeck." [1]
Johannes Van Beeck married Maria Varlett, apparently(?) at the Stadt House Inn, New Amsterdam, New Netherland on19th February 1654. [2] The marriage was declared unlawful and void by the Director-General and Council of New Netherland on 14 September 1654, on the grounds that the officiant was not authorized to perform marriages and the couple had not published banns.[3] Apparently the couple arranged to legalize their marriage before May 1655, when they baptized their daughter Judith in the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam.

"Marriage done at the Stadt House Inn, New Amsterdam, New Netherlands this 19th February 1654," Maria Varlett, dau of Casper and Judith Varlett. Marriage custom of 1654. Engaged to John Van Beeck. clipped from St Louis Post-Dispatch, St Louis, Missouri Mon, 15 Dec 1879, page 2. Note: The newspaper article appears to quote a primary record from New Amsterdam. It would be better to have the original record.
↑ Note: Daughter Judith appears to be the same person in marriage entry: 1674 29 Aug; Gabriel Mivielle, jm van Bordeau, in Vranckryck; Judith van Beeck, jd van Willemstadt. Gabriel surname is given as Monvielle in the 1690 bp of Susanna Schrick's child. See http://longislandgenealogy.com/Marriage/MARR.HTM
