Research Notes

The following notes were added by Vicki Norman in May 2015:

Note: I do not think Johannes was married to Geesie, it was Jan or Janetje Vrooman. or is Jan another name for Johannes?

Note: Discrepancy of Jan Hendrickse Vrooman's wife - was she Grietje Ryckman or Geesie Symonse Veeder? See discussion on: Rootsweb: Dutch Colonies: [2]

Under VEEDER, we find Pearson names Simon Volkertse Veeder alias de Bakker as making his will Jan. 8, 1696/7 and mentioning the following children: Pieter; Gerrit; Johannes; Volkert; Volkie m Barent Jane Wemp; Geesie m Jan Hendrickse Vrooman; Magdalena m Willem Appel.^[1]

"Jan Vrooman was the son of Hendrick Meese and married Geesie, d/o Symon Volkertse Veeder, July 4, 1680, and had 15 children - 9 sons and 6 daughters, most of whom attained maturity and left families. He made his will April 24, 1732" ^[2]

The Vrooman/Vroman Family in America Book (and I^[3] know this is loaded with errors including my own mother being listed as the child of her father's brother), states Jan Vrooman b. Feb 2, 1653, s/o Hendrick Meese Vrooman, m Geesie Veeder, d/o Symon Volkertse Veeder and they had 15 children, one of which was Jannetie Vrooman b. 07-23-1682. It goes on to state she married Andress Bratt (1680 - 1767) on 03-04-1705. It also goes on to state they had a daughter Magdalena Bratt who m. Johannes Schermerhorn. ^[4]
