Additions and Corrections to “Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y." - Isaac3 Bennet (Adriaen2, Willem1)

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

Updated 11/13/2025

The Family of Isaac³ Bennet (Adriaen², Willem¹) (#14) and Magdalena Joosten

93:210.  Isaac’s son, Isaac⁴, married Elizabeth Aerson, thought to be the daughter of Matthew Aerson and Maria Van Dyck, baptized 21 Sep 1701 at the RDC of Brooklyn, NY.  However, it is more likely that she was the daughter of Aert Aerson and his wife, Elizabeth Andriessen, baptized 18 Apr 1704 at the same church.  Though Isaac Bennet and Elizabeth Aerson had a son named Matthew, he was their 4^th son (named after his presumed maternal uncle), and they did not have a daughter named Mary.   If Aert were Elizabeth’s father, then Issac and Elizabeth’s two oldest sons, Aert and Isaac, were named after their grandfathers, while their two eldest daughters, Magdalena and Elizabeth, were named after their grandmothers. (added 11/13/2025)

94: 40.  Isaac³’s family is probably listed in the Kings Co., N.Y. census of 1698 in Brooklyn[1] under the name Isaac Mennist.  The last record of Isaac Bennet is his listing in the Tax Assessment of Brooklyn on 20 Dec 1706.[2]  He does not appear in a listing of Freeholders in Brooklyn on 27 Jan 1711.[3]  As seen later, his wife, Magdalena, remarried about that time to Joseph Fenton.  Bergen states[4] that Isaac and his children removed to Bucks Co., Pa.  However, it appears that Isaac himself did not and his children who did so probably did as they reached maturity.  Ledley assigns a second wife, Sarah, to Isaac.  However, the baptismal record of Sarah Bennet on 30 Sep 1732 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Bensalem[5] which is probably the source for that assertion does not gives any indication of the relationship between the witnesses Isaac Bennet and Sarah Bennet.  Isaac was probably the first cousin of the father, while Sarah was probably paternal aunt of the baptized, not the step-mother, all living in the area at that time.

94: 40.  Isaac³’s wife, Magdalena Joosten, was the daughter of Joost Fransen and Geertje Van Nuys, not a Van der Koek as Ledley suggested.  He referenced a land sale recorded 6 May 1701 between Isaac Bennet and Helena, his wife, and Michael Vanderkoek for 1/2 a plantation in Bedford, formerly the property of Joost ffrance (Frans).[6]  Michael Van der Koek's wife was Sara Joosten.[7]  Sara and Magdalena were daughters of Joost Frans/Fransen and Geertruyd Aukes Van Nuys. Magdalena was baptized at Midwout on 2 Nov 1679, daughter of "Frans. Joosten" (an error in record has the names are reversed) and Geetruid Aukes. Sponsors were Wijnand, & Huisvrouw, Jannetje Aukes (Jannetje is in error for Annatje).[8]

Magdalena Joosten married second Joseph Fenton.  Isaac probably died about 1711 when he did not appear in the list of signers at the Brooklyn Town Meeting on 27 Jan 1711.[9]  However, Joseph Fenton does appear in that list.  Joseph was taxed in Jamaica in 1709,[10] so he moved to Brooklyn in the interim.  He died by 1719 when the inventory of his estate was taken: 

“An Inventory and Appraissment Taken this Sixteenth Day of December 1719 by us under Written of all ye personall Estate Left by Joseph Fenten late of ye yland of Nassau Deceased upon ye Request of Adriaen Bennet son in law of said Joseph Fenten and Casparus Kimber Another to said Joseph Fenten.”[11] 

In this document “son in law” should be understood as step-son. “Another” should almost certainly be read as “Brother” and understood as “half-brother”.

This understanding is supported by later interactions between the children of Isaac Bennet and Magdalena Joosten and the children of Joseph Fenton (son of Joseph Fenton and Magdalena Joosten) and his wife, Mary Van Dyck as evidenced in several baptismal records:

1) Eelena of Joseph Fenten and Maritie van Dyck, bapt. October 19, 1746.  Spon: Isaac Bennet and Bettie Aarse.[12]

2) Jan of Joseph Fenten and Maritie van Dyck, bapt. December 29, 1748. Spon: Jost Bennet and Gertie Vliet.[13]

3) Agnietje, d/o Joseph Fenton and Maria Van Dyck, baptized 2 Feb 1752; Johannes Bennet and Agnietje Bennet[14]  (See later discussion for Angeniejte’s inclusion in this family.)

4) Maajeke of Jacob Bennet and Maajeke Wykof, bapt. April 22, 1753. Spon: Joseph Tenton and Maria Van Dyk.[15]

Of the children of Isaac and Magdalena:

94: 208. Their son, Adriaen⁴, married Grietje Van Pelt and had a daughter, Margaret, baptized at the DRC of New Utrecht in 1723[16].  He is included in a list of Freeholds in Brooklyn on 7 Jan 1724.[17]  His wife was deceased by May 21, 1728 when her father wrote his will appointing two of his sons as guardians for his granddaughter, Margaret Bennet.[18] 

94: 209, 94: 37. Adriaen⁴ did not have a daughter named Barbara as assumed by Ledley, which was based on Adriaen’s presumed second marriage to Jane Griggs.  Ledley stated that Adriaen³ Bennet (Adriaen² Willem¹) had possibly married a woman named Catherine as his second wife and that he died intestate in 1731.  Barbara Barth, in “The Family of Dirck Jansen Woertman of Brooklyn Ferry” identifies that Catherine as the Catherine Woertman above.[19]  While the identification of Catherine is correct (which was Barth's goal), the identification of her husband is not.  As shown earlier, that Adriaen did not survive his wife, Barbara Vonk.

With the elimination of Adriaen³ Bennet (Adriaen², Willem¹) above as a possible husband of a woman named Catherine, it is apparent that it was their son, Adriaen⁴, who married Catherine Woertman.[20]  Catherine’s subsequent history has been largely lost due to the lack of records regarding her, the incompleteness or inaccuracy of some of those that do exist and the misinterpretation of others.  A review of the lives of those closest to her, i.e. her first husband, Adriaen Bennet, her second husband, Jacob Bennet, her step-daughter, Margaret Bennet, and her sister-in-law, Angeniejte Bennet, helps to bring her biography back.  No single record proves any one of these relationships, but taken together present a reasonable reconstruction of her family.

Catherine is known to have married a Bennet from the will of her father,[21] written in October 29, 1729, which gives her married name as Bennit. They were residents of Brooklyn, NY in 1731[22] where the family is listed in the census with 3 males above 10 and 1 woman above 10.  The other two males are probably his brothers, Jacob who married in 1732[23] and his brother, Joost.  Adriaen and his wife, Catherine (no maiden name given), were witnesses for the baptism of Engeltje Blauw on 10 Oct 1731.[24]  However, he was deceased by November 1731 when his widow, Catherine, was appointed executor of his estate.[25]

After Adriaen’s death, Catherine married Jacob⁴ Bennet (Jacob³, Adriaen², Willem¹), son of Jacob Bennet and Barbara Verdon, as his second wife.  It is not known when Jacob’s first wife, Jannetje, died, but it was sometime before Jacob Bennet, Jr. and his wife, Catherine, appeared as witnesses for the baptism of Catherine’s niece, Catherine Hoogland.[26]  The use of Jr. for this witness clearly indicates that he was the son of Jacob Bennet and Barbara Verdon as the only other Jacob born by 1720 who might have been living in Kings County was older than Jacob Bennet, Jr.’s father.[27] 

94: 209. Margaret⁵, daughter of Adriaen⁴ Bennet and Grietje Van Pelt, married Jacob Bergen, but Ledley notes his identification of Jacob’s parents was questionable, and it is, in fact, partially wrong.  The children of Jacob Bergen and Margret Bennet include the children of two separate families as given by Teunis Bergen.[28]  The “first” family is that of Jacob, son Jacob Jacobse Bergen and Maria Crosen,[29] his wife, Margaret Bennet and the first three children in the combined family below.  The “second” family is that of Jacob, son of Frederick Bergen and Gerretje Veght, his wife Margaret Lane[30] and the last three children in the family below. 

The children of Jacob Bergen and Margaret Bennet are as follows:

1) Grietje⁶, baptized 6 May 1745;[31]

2) Gerretje⁶, baptized 10 June 1747,[32] witnesses were Frederick Bergen and Gerretje Veght;

3) Adrian⁶, baptized 3 May 1749;[33]

4) Frederick⁶, baptized 08 Dec 1751;[34]

5) Jacob⁶, baptized 01 Aug 1756;[35]

6) Elsje⁶, baptized 28 Sep 1760.[36]

Jacob, son of Jacob Bennet and Maria Crosen, was baptized in 1731,[37] too late to have married and have children of his own in 1745.  The oldest son and oldest daughter of Jacob Bergen and Margaret Bennet were named after their maternal grandparents.  The witnesses for their second daughter (in the “first” family), Gerretje⁶ (a somewhat unusual name) were Frederick Bergen and Gerretje Veght.[38]  Given that Jacob’s parents cannot be Jacob Bergen and Maria Croesen, then the names of next oldest children and the presence of Frederick Bergen and Gerretje Veght as witnesses strongly suggest that they were the paternal grandparents of the child baptized, Gerretje⁶. 

Jacob Bergen’s will[39] mentions his wife, Margaret, his brother, Henry (who must be the son of Frederick Bergen and Gerretje Veght[40]), his daughter, Charity, his son, Jacob, his daughter, Elsje, and others.  Though named Charity in his will, her name appears as some form of Gerretje in the baptismal records of her six children.[41]  She is clearly part of the “first” family while Jacob and Elsje are part of the “second.” 

Jacob Bergen probably did not marry Margaret Lane as his second wife.  She was not identified by Honeyman in his article on the Lane family[42] and Bergen[43] gives no source for her maiden name.  Margaret’s will[44] makes bequests to her daughters Charity and Elsje, making no distinction between them, implying they were both her children.

The correct identification of the parents of Jacob is important because Teunis Bergen attributes the following records to Jacob Bergen and his wife Maria Crosen (whom he thought sometimes went by the name of Margaret) ,[45] but were in fact for his cousin, Jacob Bergen and his wife, Margaret Bennet.

On 11 Aug 1746, Jacob Bergen and his wife, Margaret, of Richmond County, “quit claim, release &c. to Jacob Bennet and ‘Cattrenah’ his wife, of Gowanus, against all manner of actions, &c.”[46]

On 11 Oct 1746 Jacob Bergen and Margaret, his wife, convey to Peter Van Pelt and "Christopher Schass" a farm at Gowanus, and a woodlot No. 43.... being bound north-westerly by Cornelius Van Duyn... south-westerly by woodlot of Jan Bennet.”[47]

23 Apr 1751 Jacob Bergen and Margaret his wife of Staten Island sold land to Cornelius Krousen.[48]

1744 was an important year for Margaret.  She became 21[49] so likely received some settlement from her father’s estate, married Jacob about that time and probably received a settlement from the estate of her grandfather, Wouter Van Pelt, whose will[50] was probated that year.  The first record above was probably in regards to property of her father.  It may be related to the care Jacob Bennet and Catherine Woertman, her step-mother, likely gave to Margaret in her minority. The second record is probably related to the bequest of her grandfather, Wouter Van Pelt of Gowanus.  Peter Van Pelt was her brother, named in her father’s will and “Christopher Schass” was probably her uncle, Christopher Schaers, from whom she later received a bequest in his will.[51]  The last record is probably in preparation for their move to the New Brunswick area of New Jersey before the baptism of their son, Frederick, there later that year.[52]

One other probable record of Catherine is the baptismal record of Johannes, son of Johannes Bennet and Angeniejte Bennet at the DRC of Freehold and Middletown on 5 Jun 1737.[53]  The witnesses were Jacobus Bennet and Catherine Woert.  Angeniejte Bennet was the sister of Adriaen Bennet, husband of Grietje Van Pelt, as will be seen later.  Many of the names of witnesses were abbreviated, so it is likely that Catherine Woertman is the witness here.  Angeniejte was the sister-in-law of Catherine Woertman by her first husband, Adrian.   Though the other witness could be Angeniejte’s brother, he had moved to PA by 1739, possibly sooner, and is not known to have used the name Jacobus.  The other witness is probably Catherine’s second husband, Jacob Bennet, whose father or he himself used the name of Jacobus when selling the land in 1739 mentioned above.

Jacob and Catherine may have had two children together, Abraham and Anna Margaret, both baptized at the DRC of New Utrecht:

6 Aug 1738; Abraham; Jacob Romret, Catharina, s.v.; Joost Schaer, Margrieta Schaer.[54]

31 Aug 1740; Anna Margrieta; Jacob Romret, Catharine, s.v.[55]

This identification assumes several corrections to the records should be made:

1) The father’s surname should be Bennet, not Romret.  The surname, Romret, is otherwise unknown to the author in Kings Co, N.Y. about that time, but is close in form to Bennet.  The surname was noted as difficult to read in an earlier abbreviated transcription,[56] allowing for the possibility it is in error.

2) One of the witnesses at Abraham’s baptism, Joost Schaer, may actually be Stoffel Schaers. Stoffel or Christopher Schaers was the last known male of the Schaers family in Kings Co., N.Y.  His will mentions his Van Pelt cousins, but no descendants of his own or the Schaers family.[57]

3) The other witness at Abraham’s baptism, Margrieta Schaer, may actually be Margaret Bennet, daughter of Adriaen Bennet and Grietje Van Pelt. She was the step-daughter of the presumed mother in these baptismal records.  She was also the grandniece of Christopher Schaers, the other presumed witness, and was mentioned in his will. Margaret may have been living with the Bennets at the time, given the land transaction noted earlier.

Besides the need for several corrections, there are no close relatives of Jacob Bennet and Catherine Woertman with the names given these children.  Their association with this family is speculative, but they are mentioned here in hopes that further research may provide additional information.  In any case, if they were Jacob’s children, they died young as he makes no mention of having descendants in his will.

Catherine died some time before Jacob wrote his will.  However, she probably died much earlier, as it appears that Jacob married as his third wife, Charity Remsen, probably the widow of Christopher Remsen,[58] by license dated 24 Oct 1763.  His nephew, Jacob Stellingwerf, was the fellowbondsman for his marriage license.[59]

94: 210. Their granddaughter, Eleanor/Magdalena⁵ (Isaac⁴), probably married John⁴ Bennet (Abraham³, Adriaen², Willem¹), whose parents Ledley did not identify.  Their family will be discussed later under John’s family.

94: 210. The wife of their grandson, Isaac⁵ (Isaac⁴), was probably Madgalena/Leentje⁵ Bennet (Joost⁴, Isaac³, Adriaen², Willem¹), as identified in her family later.  Isaac married a third time as his will written in Northampton,[60] dated in 1786, mentions his wife, Mary, and four of his five known children, omitting Maria⁶ who probably died young.  The mother of Isaac in 1781 mentions the mother as Lena Bennet who was also baptized then.  The mother is not named in the baptisms of Maria in 1780 and William in 1783 (noting the mother was not baptized).  These records conflict with each other and the marriage record, but assuming the record of Isaac’s baptism has the mother listed incorrectly (it is unlikely that Leentje was baptized as an adult), the records together most likely represent this family.  (updated 11/13/2025)

94: 213.  Their grandson, Nicasies⁵ (Isaac⁴), was probably not their grandson.  As seen earlier, he was probably the son of Isaac⁴ Bennet (Adriaen³, Adriaen², Willem¹). 

94: 213. Their grandson, William⁵ (Isaac⁴), husband of Elizabeth Wynkoop, probably moved to Amwell, Hunterdon, N.J. where his will[61] was written 4 Apr 1806.  He names his wife Elizabeth, daughters Elizabeth⁶ Harrold (dec’d), Patience⁶ (wife of John Coffin), Polly⁶ (wife of Cornelius Van Horne), Sarah⁶ (wife of Levi Brown), Ruth⁶ (wife of Samuel McNair), Polly⁶ [sic] (wife of John Runyon), Rebecca⁶ Bennet, sons William⁶ and Gerardus⁶, and two grandsons.  His will was proved 13 Apr 1808.  The baptisms of Elizabeth, Sarah and Gerardus in Pa. were noted by Ledley.

This identification of his wife as Elizabeth Wynkoop seems doubtful.  She is not named in the baptismal records of her children, which is unusual.  Elizabeth Wynkoop, probably William’s sister, is named as the witness of their children, Sarah and Gerald (which Ledley omits).  His wife not being named in the baptismal records, the names of her daughters Patience, Patty, and Ruth not being common Dutch names, and the lack of her being identified in the Wynkoop Genealogy suggest that she was probably not a Wynkoop, or possibly even Dutch.  (added 11/13/2025)

95: 11. Their grandson, Richard⁵ (William⁴), had an additional son, Ryck⁶.  He was baptized on 25 Jan 1761.[62]

95: 11. Their granddaughter, Jannetje⁵ (William⁴), wife of Jacobus Van Sant, had four additional children, Elizabeth⁶ (b. 1762), Lena ⁶(b. 1764), John⁶ (b. 1769) and Mary⁶ (b. 1769).  Their family is listed in Barbara Barth’s “The Dorland Enigma Solved.”[63]

95: 13.  The will[64] of William⁴ does not mention a son named Matthias⁵.  It is likely that the military reference Ledley cites is in relation to his cousin, Matthew⁵ Bennet (Isaac⁴, Isaac³, Adriaen², Willem¹).

95: 13. Their grandson, John⁵ (William⁴), had another daughter, Huldah.  She was baptized on 1 Jun 1804.[65]

95: 13. Their granddaughter, Leena⁵, or Helena (William⁴), was not baptized on 15 Nov 1752.[66]  She was the wife of Thomas Craven, and was born about 1729, based on the several additional children she had not mentioned by Ledley.  Other children included in Thomas’ will[67] were William⁶ (b. abt. 1749), Ann⁶ (b. abt. 1750), Jacobus⁶ (b. abt. 1752), Giles⁶ (b. abt. 1755), Catherine⁶ (b. abt. 1758), Isaac⁶ (b. 1760), Thomas⁶ (b. abt. 1762), Helen⁶ (b. abt. 1765) and Edith/Ida⁶ (b. abt. 1768).  The approximate birth years appear in Barbara Barth’s “The Dorland Enigma Solved”.[68]

95: 15 and 95: 16.  Their granddaughter, Charity⁵ (Jacob⁴) is likely the Geertje Bennet who married Isaac⁵ Bennet (Johannes⁴, Willem³, Willem², Willem¹), whom Ledley had not identified.

95: 15.  Jacob⁴ had a daughter, Agnes⁵, mentioned in his will.[69]  She may be his youngest daughter, baptized as Annanitje in 1755,[70] as no daughter named Annetje is mentioned.  However, she would have only been about 14 when as Agnus Bennet she married Andrew Coupland[71] in 1769.

95: 15. The wife of George⁴/Joost, Geertje Vliet, was tentatively identified by Ledley as the daughter of John Vleet and Griertje Wyckoff.  However, baptismal witnesses and the naming of her children suggest that she was the daughter of Jan Van Vliet and Fytje Vanderlinde, baptized on 13 Jun 1711 at Six Mile Run.[72]  Though undocumented, Susannah Vliet, wife of Garret Wynkoop, was probably her sister, being named after her paternal grandmother, Susanna Hendricks.[73]  Susanna and Geertje were witnesses for each other’s children[74] who were also named after the aunt serving as a witness.  As will be seen, both had sons named Jan/Johannes and daughters named Sophia after their maternal grandparents.

95: 15. Though undocumented, Joost and Geertje probably had three other children:

1.      95: 207. Jan⁵.  Ledley identifies this Jan as Johannes⁴ Bennet (Jacob³, Willem², Willem¹), having a second marriage to an unknown wife.  However, they were two different men, Jan being named after his maternal grandfather, Jan Van Vliet.  His children were:

a.       Maria⁶ (#284).  The witness for her baptism[75] was Leentje Bennet, probably her paternal aunt (see below).

b.      Jan⁶ (#285).  The witness for his baptism[76] was Geertje Bennet, probably his paternal grandmother.

c.       Permelia⁶ (#286).  The witness for her baptism[77] was Sophia Bennet, probably her paternal aunt (see below).

2.      94: 211. Leentje⁵.  As mentioned above, she was the witness for her niece, Maria, being named after her paternal grandmother, Magdalena Joosten.  She was the “Eleanor Bennet” who married Isaac⁵ Bennet (Isaac⁴, Isaac³, Adriaen², Willem¹), whose parents Ledley could not identify.  In the baptismal record of her daughter, Magdalena,[78] she is styled as “Leentye” with Joost Bennet as the witness, being the maternal grandfather.  She is styled as “Leentje” at the baptism of her daughter, Elizabeth.[79]

3.      95:207. Sophia⁵.  As mentioned above, she was the witness for her niece, Permelia, being named for her maternal grandmother, Fytje Vanderlinde.  She married Garret Dungan by license dated Mar 1761.[80]  Ledley tentatively identified her as the daughter of Isaac³ Bennet (Adrian², Willem¹) and Magdalena Joosten.

94: 40.  Isaac³ and Magdalena probably did not have a son named Johannes.  As seen below, it was their daughter Angeniejte who married a Johannes Bennet, not the other way around.  He could be the John Bennet of Kings Co., N.Y. who purchased land near New Brunswick, N.J. in 1731,[81] but he was almost certainly the same John Bennet of Brooklyn, Kings County N.Y. who bought land in Middletown, Monmouth County, N.J. from the same couple in 1727,[82] probably Jan³ Bennet (Willem², Willem¹).

94: 37, 94: 40. Isaac³ and Magdalena had a daughter named Angeniejte⁴, born about 1710[83].  She is placed in this family based on the naming of her children, their presumed relationship with their baptismal sponsors and the baptismal record of her niece, Angeniejte Fenton.[84]  She married Johannes⁴ Bennet (Willem³, Willem², Willem¹).  Ledley had identified her as Angeniejte⁴ Bennet (Jan³, Adriaen², Willem¹), however, as seen earlier, that Angeniejte⁴ married Rem Remsen.

95: 16, 95: 20 and 95: 163. The children of Angeniejte⁴ Bennet and Johannes Bennet were attributed to three different families by Ledley:

1)      Johannes⁴ Bennet (Isaac³, Adriaen², Willem¹) (#77) and Angeniejte⁴ Bennet (Jan³, Adriaen², Willem¹).  Their children were listed by Ledley as #195 - #202.

2)      Johannes⁴ Bennet (Willem³, Willem², Willem¹) (#106) and Annetje Couwenhoven. Their children were listed by Ledley as #266 – #270.

3)      William⁴ Bennet (Abraham³, Adriaen², Willem¹) (#84) and an unknown wife.  William did not actually exist, but was assumed based on his presumed son, William, having mentioned several nephews named William (sons of Jacob, Hendrick and Angeniejte below), in his will.[85]  Their children were listed by Ledley as #217 - #220.

95: 15, 94: 37. Ledley stated he had difficulty identifying the parents of Johannes, head of the first family above.  Though Isaac³ and Magdalena had no known son named Johannes, Ledley relied on the assumption that his oldest son and oldest daughter were named after their paternal grandparents, though he noted that the baptismal sponsors of his children were often distant cousins.  Having misidentified the parents of Angeniejte, he did not realize that she was an undocumented daughter of Isaac³ and Magdalena and that her oldest son, Isaac, and oldest daughter, Magdalena,[86] were named after their maternal grandparents.  The baptismal sponsors who were distant relatives were then close relatives.

The mother’s name, Annetje Couwenhoven, in the second family appears to be the result of two mistakes:

1)      Ledley cites a baptismal record for Arriantje of the second family above, but the parents listed are Hendrick Bennet and Jannetje Couwenhoven.[87]  No baptismal record for their daughter, Arriantje, has been found.  The next baptismal record is for Jacob, son of Johannes Bennet and Angeniejte Bennet, with a note that “Couwenhove” was crossed out and Bennet inserted.  This appears to be the source of her mistaken surname, Couwenhoven.

2)     The baptismal record of Isaac of the first family lists his mother’s name as Annemietie Bennet.[88]  This appears to be the source of her mistaken given name, Annetje.

The children of Angeniejte⁴ and Johannes Bennet were:

1)      95: 16. Isaac⁵ (#195), baptized 27 Feb 1732,[89] parents: Johannes Bennet, Annemietie Bennet; witnesses: Willem Couwenh[oven], Adraantie Bennet, his wife.  The witnesses are his paternal aunt and uncle.  Isaac was named after his maternal grandfather. 

2)      95: 20. William⁵ (#217), born about 1733.  He married first, Catherine Warne, by license dated 01 Jul 1760.[90]  He married second, Mary Prall, widow of Thomas Warne, on 17 Mar 1782 at the DRC of Freehold.[91]  His will[92] mentions, William, son of his brother, Hendrick, and William, son of his brother, Jacob, and William son of his brother-in-law, Walter Hyer (husband of Angeniejte, below).  William was named after his paternal grandfather.

3)      95: 163. Arriantje⁵ (#266), was born about 1735, not 1737.[93]  She married Teunis Amack.  Her placement in this family is based on the naming of her children, Johannes and Angeniejte, after their maternal grandparents.  They also had children named after their paternal grandparents.  Arriantje was named after her paternal grandmother.

4)      95: 16. Johannes⁵ (#196), baptized 5 Jun 1737,[94] parents Johannes Bennet, Agnietje Bennet, witnesses: Jacobus Bennet and Catharina Woert.  The witnesses were probably Catherine Woertman, widow of Angeniejte’s brother, Adriaen (#72) and her second husband, Jacob Bennet.  No further trace.  He did not marry a woman named Margaret.  That was John⁵ Bennet (Jan⁴, Jan³, Willem², Willem¹), who had an almost identical list of children.  See the discussion of his family later.

5)      95: 20. Jacob⁵ (#219), baptized 29 Dec 1739[95] (published records say 1737), parents: Johannes Bennet, Agnietie Bennet, witnesses: Cornelius Santvoort, Geertje De Hart.  Jacob married Aefje Amack and had a son named William, baptized on 6 Feb 1774.[96]

6)      95: 17. Hendrick⁵ (#197), baptized 16 May 1742,[97] parents Johannis Bennet, Agnietje Bennet, witnesses: Hendrick Bennit, Jannetje Couwenhove. The witnesses were his paternal uncle and aunt.  He married Neeltje Colwell by license dated 12 Jan 1762.[98]  Neeltje, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Colwell, was baptized on 25 Feb 1748 at Christ Church, Shrewsbury, N.J., being 6 ¾ years old, living at Middletown Point, N.J. at the time.[99]  Her brother, William, was baptized the same day.[100]  William Colwell and Hendrick Bennett applied for a remedy for a lost deed for land at Middletown Point sold to Thomas Colwell that had burnt in a fire at Hendrick’s home in 1786.[101] Shortly after that, Hendrick’s family moved to Mohawk, Montgomery Co., N.Y., before the 1790 census.[102]  He died at Halfmoon, Saratoga Co., N.Y. where his will[103] was written on 28 Oct 1806 and was probated in Saratoga County on 13 Oct 1806.  In it he names his children: Ada⁶ Lanosam, eldest daughter, John⁶, eldest son, Thomas⁶, second son, Mary⁶ Bell, second daughter, Elizabeth⁶ Schouten, third daughter, William⁶, fourth son, Cornelius⁶, fifth son, Hendrick⁶, Jr. (without number, but probably the third son), Peter⁶ (without number, but probably the sixth son).  Four of their children were baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church of Freehold.[104]  Their daughter, Annanitie⁶ (probably a corruption of Angenitje), is not mentioned in the will.  Their son, Johannes, did not die in 1846 in New Jersey.  That was Johannes⁵ Bennet (John⁴, probably Jacob³, Willem², Willem¹).  He was baptized 19 Jan 1766,[105] so he also was 80 when he died.

7)      95: 17. Magdalena⁵ (#198), baptized 17 Nov 1745,[106] parents: Johannis Bennit, Agnietje Bennit.  She was named after her maternal grandmother.

8)      95: 17, 95: 21. Angeniejte⁵ (# 199 & #220), baptized 03 Jul 1748,[107] parents: Johannes Bennit, Agnietje Bennet.  She did not marry James Van Brackle as she would have only been 13 when their marriage license was issued on 2 Nov 1761.[108]  That Agnes was born in Brooklyn.[109]  Angeniejte⁵ married Walter Hyer and had their son, William, baptized at the Reformed Dutch Church of Freehold on 25 Jun 1769.[110]

9)      95: 17. Geertje⁵ (#200), baptized 22 Sep 1750,[111] parents: Johannis Bennit, Agnite Bennit; witnesses: Cornelis Luyster and Ariaantje Cowenhoven, who was probably Johannes’ niece.

10)  Cornelius⁵ (#201), baptized 04 Jan 1756.[112]

11)  Maria⁵ (#202 & #270), baptized 08 Aug 1758.[113]

95: 164. Peter⁵ (#269) may have been their son as Ledley assumed, but given the spacing of their children above it seems doubtful.  However, a better placement has not been identified.  He did not marry Elizabeth Stout (whose maiden name only appears in the last record cited by Ledley) and the John Bennet baptized on 10 Apr 1796 was not his son.  The maiden name of the wife of Peter⁵ is unknown.  

Peter Bennet and Elizabeth Stout were married in Somerset Co., N.J. by license dated 12 Jul 1795.[114]  The family moved to Cayuga Co., N.Y. where four of their other children were baptized.[115]  Elizabeth Stout was probably the daughter of Thomas and Jannetje Stout, baptized 29 Mar 1772.[116]  This Peter Bennet was probably the son of John⁵ Bennet (Hendrick⁴, William³, William², Willem¹) and Maria Post.[117]  If correct, four of their five known children were named after their grandparents. 

Besides Peter, of the other sixteen children in the three families outlined by Ledley, all were children of Johannes Bennet and Angeniejte Bennet, except the following:

1.      Hendrick (#218).  He was probably the son of Hendrick⁴ Bennet (Willem³, Willem², Willem¹) and Jannetje Couwenhoven.  His oldest son, Hendrick,[118] and his oldest daughter, Jannetje,[119] were probably named after their paternal grandparents.  His wife, Ann, was named in the will of Elsje Jewell,[120] possibly the daughter of Richard and Elsje Jewell mentioned in his will,[121] but Ann has not been placed in the Jewell family. 

2.      Agnes (#267), wife of James Van Brakle.  She was the daughter of William⁴ Bennet (Jacob³, Adriaen², Willem¹).  See the discussion of that family later.

3.      William (#268).  He was the son of Jan⁴ Bennet (Jan³, Willem², Willem¹).  See the discussion of that family later.

95:211.  Joshua⁶ Bennet (John⁵, Isaac⁴, Isaac³, Adrian², Willem¹) was of Pennsylvania when he married Catherine Green in Monmouth, NJ.  His older brother, Benjamin, moved to Monmouth, NJ.  I assume he is the one who married a woman named surnamed Greene and not his brother, John, as Ledley noted.  No further trace on Joshua, but his brother John is likely the John Bennet named as the husband of Ann, daughter of Adrian and Mary Hegeman, in Adrian’s probate record of 26 Feb 1810, File 1078.   (added 11/13/2025)

94: 40. Isaac³ and Magdalena did not have a daughter named Sophia⁴.  She was their granddaughter, Sophia⁵ Bennet (Joost⁴, Isaac³, Adriaen², Willem¹), identified earlier.

Bennets of Buckingham, Bucks, PA (added 11/13/2025) 

Several Bennet families lived for short periods of time in Buckingham township, Bucks, PA.  In addition, several individuals whose parentage is unknow also lived in the township.  It is assumed they are related, though the evidence for that is slight.

Joseph Bennet 

The only certain record of Joseph is the 1820 census record of Buckingham, Bucks, PA which lists Joseph Bennet, aged 45 or older, with 2 males aged 18 to 25, 1 female aged 16 to 25, and 1 female aged 45 or older.  His is probably the Joseph Bennet who witnessed an affirmation by Amos and Lucretia, children of Isaac Bennet (presumably a brother of Joseph), that they had bequest from the will of Amos A. Hughes, their maternal uncle.  None of Joseph’s children are known for certain, but one of them is probably Joseph Bennet, listed in the 1840 census of Buckingham, Bucks, PA, aged 30-39, 1 male aged 5-9, 1 male aged 10-14, 1 male aged 15-19, 1 female aged 5-9, 1 female aged 10-14, 1 female aged 30-39.  

Joseph married Mary Doan, daughter of Israel Doan, as mentioned in the sale of land from Israel’s estate:

On 8 Apr 1857 the heirs of Israel Doan (his wife was Mary) released to Oliver Doan his estate.  The heirs included Mary Doan, wife of Joseph Bennet,

Bucks Co., PA Miscellaneous Records, Vol 12, pg. 426, indexed under Deeds. 

His family is listed in the 1850 census of Doylestown, Bucks, PA as: Joseph Bennett, 51; Mary, 44; Charity, 20; John, 13; Elmira, 7; and Josephine, 2.  M.A. (prob. Ann in his will) Worthington, age 45, is living with him in the 1870 census of Doylestown.  On 10 Mar 1873 Joseph Bennett of Buckingham, Bucks, PA wrote his will, being advanced in age, mentions his wife, Mary, children: Ann, widow of Francis Worthington, Charity, wife of Jacob Walton, Kinsey Bennett, John W. Bennett, and Elmira, wife of Edmund Bailey.  Executors: Kinsey Bennett and Lewis Worthington.  Proved 7 Jun 1873. 

Isaac Bennet 

Isaac Bennet married Sarah Hughes in October 1792 at Buckingham, Bucks, PA.  George Hughes willed land to his brother Elias' daughter, Sarah (Bucks PA Wills, bk 5, pg. 434).   On 1 Apr 1814 Isaac Bennet of Solebury, Bucks, PA, and Sarah his wife (lately Sarah Hughes who by the will of George Hughes of Buckingham, Bucks, PA dated 20 Feb 1783 was to inherit a lot of land in Buckingham) sold that land to Elisha Walkinson.  Bucks PA Deeds, vol 43, pg. 129.  He was listed in the 1810 census of Buckingham, Bucks, PA, aged 45 yrs or older (therefore born before 1766), 1 male under 5 years, 1 male 5-9 years, 1 female 5-9 years, 1 female 45 years or older.   Isaac probably died about 1828 when Letters of Administration were issued (I do not know to whom) for an Isaac Bennet of Buckingham, Bucks, PA.  

As mentioned under Joseph Bennet, Isaac had 2 minor children, Amos and Lucretia, probably the children aged 5-9 in the 1810 census (the younger male presumably died young).  Amos’ will mentions his cousin, Joseph Bennet, probably the one mentioned earlier:

Amos Bennet of Buckingham, Bucks, PA, wrote his will on 22 Oct 1864, mentioning his wife (not named), makes bequests to Mary Higs, wife of Chilean Higs, Elizabeth Eyre, wife of Caplain [Captain] Eyre, and Elizabeth Gaston, and the residue of his estate to the children of Joseph Bennet, his cousin, and the children of his cousin Caplain John Murset?  Bucks Co., PA Wills, vol. 16, pg. 210, #11595 

Though the 1840 census of Buckingham, Bucks, PA for Amos lists one male aged 10-14 in his household, no sons are named in his will, so if he were Amos’ son, he probably died young.  No children were living with him in the 1850 census.  The Elizabeth Donnelly living with him in the 1850 census may be the Elizabeth Gaston named in his will. 

Elizabeth Bennet 

An Elizabeth Bennet married Jonathan Kinsey in March 1785 in Buckingham, Bucks, PA, see Extracts from Common Pleas and Quarter sessions courts and abstracts from justice docket of Buckingham, PA,

https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/koha:272980.  This family has not been traced further, but the only connection to Joseph Bennet is that he had a son named Kinsey, presumably after his paternal great uncle, Jonathan Kinsey.

Will of William Bennet of Northampton, Bucks, PA written 7 Apr 1826, proved 17 Apr 1827, mentions wife, Cornelia, daughters, Margaret, Mary, and Charity, sons, Peter, Isaac, and William.

Cornelia’s tombstone says she was in the 60th year of her age when she died.  I am assuming this Cornelia died young and there was a 2nd born about 1768, or that the tombstone is wrong.

[27] An examination of the Bennet family shows there were only Jacob Bennets with a son named Jacob Bennet born before 1720.  Even considering the designation Jr. may have only meant “the younger” there were only eight Jacob/Jacobus Bennets born before 1720.  Of these, Jacob # 68 is the only one who could be the husband of Catherine.

[28] Teunis Bergen, The Bergen Family: Or, The Descendants of Hans Hansen Bergen (Albany: Joe Munsell, 1876).  The “first” family is listed on page 568.  The “second” family, page 555, lists the mother as Margaret Lane.  Jacob’s will includes a daughter named Charity who is actually part of the first family.  His will also mentions a grandson, Roelof Van Dyck, who is probably the son of his daughter, Margaret, of the “first” family.  Bergen lists a daughter named Maria in the “first” family, but she is not mentioned in her father’s will.  Her oldest child was born in 1791, making her inclusion in this family doubtful. Her husband, John Newbury, appears to have died just before the 1800 census when she is listed in Southfield, Richmond Co., NY as Mary Newbury, age 16-26 with two daughters under 10 (see Richmond, New York 1800 Federal Census, transcribed by James Elbrecht,Jr.,
