Additions and Corrections to “Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y." - Adriaen3 Bennet (Adriaen2, Willem1)

Additions and Corrections to “Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Some of His Descendants”, by Wilson V. Ledley

The Family of Adriaen3 Bennet (Adriaen2, Willem1) (#10) and Barbara Vonk

93 (1962): 199, 94: 37.  Adrian’s father, Adriaen2, was listed in the 1706 Tax listing of Brooklyn.[1]  Though Ledley thought that Adriaen2 had died by 1711 and his wife, Angeniejte, had moved with her son to the New Brunswick area, it is clear that both Adriaen2 and his wife Angeniejte moved to New Brunswick by 1710[2] where he and his wife are listed separately as members. 

Adriaen3 purchased land[3] at Freehold, Monmouth Co., New Jersey and had moved there by 17 May 1700 when he purchased land there from John Bowne and is noted as a resident in the deed.[4]  Though two of his children were baptized in New York after that,[5] it was probably for the convenience of his family.  Adriaen3’s son, Isaac4 was baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church of Freehold and Middleton in 1717[6] and Adriaen3 served as an elder there in 1719,[7] so he was not the Adriaen Bennet in the 1711 membership listing of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick.

The main changes to the family of Adriaen3 come from a quit claim deed between the children of Adriaen3 and Barbara acknowledging that their father had willed some land to his son, Adriaen4, effective after the decease of his wife, Barbara.[8]   Though the will appears to have been lost, several things are now known from the deed.

94: 37.  Adriaen3 did not survive his wife, so he did not return to Brooklyn, marry a woman named Catherine, nor die there in 1731 as Ledley suggested may be the case.  He died sometime between 10 Apr 1740 when he purchased land from Coert and Sarah Van Voorhees and 17 Nov 1743 when his children executed the quit claim deed.  Catherine and her husband will be identified later.

Barbara Vonk died sometime after 1768.  As Barbara Bennet, widow, she was involved in several court cases[9] from 1767 through 1769.  One of the cases was concerning the removal of 300 trees from her property.

94: 37.  The deed suggests that Adriaen3 and Barbara did not have a son named Jan since he is not named in it.  It will later be shown that the Jan whom Ledley assumed was their son was actually Jan4 Bennet (Jan3, Willem2, Willem1).

94: 37.  Cornelius Kroesen, husband of their daughter, Catherine4, was of Burlington Twp., Burlington Co., NJ when he wrote his will on 29 Mar 1748/9.  He died before 7 Apr 1749 when his will was proved.[9a]  Catherine probably married second Rem Gerritsen before 02 Sep 1750 when their daughter, Barbara, was baptized at the Reformed Dutch Church of Six Mile Run, NJ.[9b]  They had two other children baptized there, Gerrit on 03 May 1752 and Barbara on 17 Nov 1754.
.  
94: 37.  A son named William4 is mentioned in the deed, but was not included by Ledley.  He was probably the fellowbondsman named in the administration of the estate of James Reid on 18 Jan 1751.[10]  Abraham Bennet and Volkert Bennet took the inventory of the estate.[11]  No further trace.

94: 167.  Their granddaughter, Barbara5 (Cornelis4), wife of Cornelius Wyckoff, had another son, Jacob6, baptized on 16 Apr 1751 at the Presbyterian Church of Cranbury.[12]

94: 167.  Their granddaughter, Hendrickje5 (Cornelis4), married Abraham Williamson[13] and had a daughter, Neeltje6, named in Cornelius’ will.

94: 167.  Their granddaughter, Anna5 (Cornelis4), probably married first Frederick Van Liew[14] on 11 Oct 1750.  He died on 06 May 1758.[15]

94: 168.  Their granddaughter, Elizabeth5 (Cornelis4), wife of Barent Stryker, had seven other children, baptized at Six Mile Run,[16] New Brunswick[17] and Hillsborough, N.J.,[18] that were not listed by Ledley:
1.      Elizabeth6, baptized on 6 Jun 1760 at Six Mile Run, died young.
2.      Annetje6, baptized 10 Oct 1762 at Six Mile Run.
3.      Cornelius6, baptized on 27 May 1764 at Six Mile Run.
4.      Barent6, baptized on 20 Jul 1766 at Six Mile Run.
5.      Geertje6, baptized on 29 May 1768 at New Brunswick.
6.      Elizabeth6, baptized on 21 Oct 1771 at Hillsborough.
7.      Neeltje6, baptized on 20 Mar 1774 at New Brunswick.

94: 168.  Their granddaughter, Neeltje5 (Cornelis4), wife of Cornelius Boerum, had three other children,
1.      Annetje, baptized 8 Apr 1765,[19] died young.
2.      Geertje, baptized 1 Feb 1767.[20]
3.    Johannes, baptized 2 Sep 1768. [20a]

94: 168, 94: 213. Their son, Isaac4, probably married second Elizabeth Kroesen.  They had a son, Nicasies5, baptized on 22 Jan 1744.  Ledley identified him as the son of Isaac4 Bennet (Isaac3, Adriaen2, Willem1) and Elizabeth Aersen.  However, the mother’s maiden name is Kroesen, not Aersen.  The witnesses were Nicasies Kroesen and Maritie Roland, probably the maternal grandparents[21], the child being named after his maternal grandfather.  Also, the baptism was just two month before the baptism of William, son of Isaac Bennet and Elizabeth Aersen on 21 Mar 1744, so it is very unlikely Nicasies was their son.  Isaac4 married third Mary Van Horn.  Their oldest daughter was named Elizabeth, presumably after Isaac’s second wife, Elizabeth Kroesen.

94: 168. Maria Van Horn, the third wife of their son, Isaac4, was the daughter of Abraham Van Horn and Mary Dungan, mentioned in her father’s will[22] as Mary Krewsen.  As Maria Bennet, widow, she married second Derrick Krusen on 16 Feb 1758 at the Reformed Dutch Church of Churchville, Pa.[23]

94: 168, 94: 209.  The other main change is in regards to their son, Adriaen4, whom Ledley was not able to trace any further.  He thought that Adriaen4 Bennet (Isaac3, Adriaen2, Willem1) had married second Jane Griggs.[24]  However, as will be seen later, that Adriaen married Catherine Woertman and died in 1731.  It was Adriaen4 (Adriaen3, Adriaen2, Willem1) who married Jane Griggs, based on the later events in his life and the naming of his children.[25]

He is probably the Adrian Bennet listed in the records of the Presbyterian Church of Cranbury, N.J.[26] of 30 Mar 1750.  He had a horse stolen from his stable at Cranberry Mills in 1763.[27]  The land that Adriaen4 inherited was near Cranbury,[28] in South Amboy,[29] bordering land owned by Daniel Griggs, his brother-in-law,[30] in 1768.  Adriaen Bennet, Sr. is listed in the tax list of South Amboy in 1780,[31] his widow being listed in 1785.[32]  Aaron Bennet4, Sr. and Aaron Bennet5, Jr. are listed in other years.[33]

94: 209, 95: 18.  Adriaen4 Bennet and Jane Griggs had two daughters, Margaret5 and Barbara5, named in the will of Jane's brother,[34] Rueben.[35]  As noted above in the tax lists, they probably had a son named Aaron5.  An Adrian and Jane Bennet had a son named Benjamin5 baptized at the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick on 26 Oct 1751,[36] probably another son of theirs.  Ledley identified Benjamin as the son of Adriaen4 Bennet (Abraham3, Adriaen2, Willem1) and Josyntje, but the mother’s name in his baptismal record is Janthe, clearly a variation of Jane, not Josyntje (who would have been almost 48 at the time[37] besides).  Thus, the children listed were named after their grandparents, Adriaen Bennet, Barbara Vonk, Benjamin Griggs and Margaret Johnson, following the normal Dutch naming conventions.

95: 165. Adriaen4’s son, Aaron5, married Sarah Schenck, daughter of Luke Schenck and Lammetje Remsen.[38]  Aaron’s will,[39] dated 5 May 1812 in South Amboy, mentions his second wife, Sophia, and four of his five children; Jane6 (wife of Daniel Perrine), Lydia6 (wife of William Longstreet), Mary6 (wife of David Dey) and his deceased son, Aaron6 (whose four children are also mentioned).  Their son, Luke6, named after his maternal grandfather, predeceased his father.  Aaron Bennet, Jr. was appointed administrator of Luke’s estate,[40] with Aaron Bennet, Sr. and John Dey, both of South Amboy, serving as the fellowbondsmen.  Ledley thought this will pertained to Aaron6 Bennet (Peter Pra5, William4, Jacob3, Willem2, Willem1).  However, the mother in the baptismal records of his children, Aleda[41] and Peter Pra Bennet,[42] is Annetje, not Sophia.  Neither of the only two known children of Aaron and Annetje Bennet is mentioned in this Aaron’s will.
