Notes on the Descendants of Dirck Janszen Van Sutphen and Elizabeth Jans
This article is a follow-up on the series of articles titled Additions and Corrections to “Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn , N.Y.
Elizabeth Jans was the daughter of Jan Jacobsen (van Rheenen) and Geertje Gysbrechts.[3] She married 2nd John Lake before 30 Apr 1712.[4] She died before 4 May 1723 when John Lake wrote his will [5] naming his wife as Mayke.
Elizabeth Jans, wife of Dirck Janszen Van Sutphen
The Family of Elsje2 Sutphen and Harmen Van Zant
Elsje2 Sutphen (Dirck1) was born about 1679, being married by the time of the census of New Utrecht, Kings County Elizabeth 3, born say 1699, married Volkert Vandergrift on 06 May 1719 at Abington Presbyterian Church, Montgomery , PA.
The Family of Hendrickje2 Sutphen and Benjamin Van Cleef
Benjamin Van Cleef was baptized 25 Nov 1683, not 1682, at Flatbush.[9] His mother, Engeltje, usually went by her patronymic name, Laurens, as in the baptism of her niece, Joosje, daughter of Barent Joosten and Citie Laurens on 26 Dec 1661.[10]
The Family of Jacob2 Sutphen and Annetje Bennet
As noted in the author’s previous post, their son, John3, was not born in 1711 and did not marry Pieternella Stout or Ann. He was born in 1722 and probably married Eleanor Griggs.
Their son, Derick3, was not baptized in 1712 at Freehold as Ledley supposed,[11] as the family was still in New Utrecht, NY until at least 1719.[12] As noted in the author’s previous post, Derick3 did not marry Mary Couwenhoven,[13] nor was the son John baptized in 1732 his. He did not marry Margaret Couwenhoven as supposed elsewhere.[14] He did marry a woman named Mary with the children otherwise mentioned in The Sutphen Family.[15] Mary was listed as a communicant at the Old Tennent Church , Manapalan, Monmouth , NJ
Their son, Jacob3, probably did not marry Mary Schenck[18] as listed in The Sutphen Family. He may have married Maria Voorhees, born 6 Jan 1726 and baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church of Freehold and Middletown , Monmouth , NJ Middletown
Their daughter, Elizabeth3, was an undocumented daughter who married John Aten. The Sutphen Family attributes this marriage to Elizabeth3 Sutphen (Abraham2, Dirck1) and John Aten, son of Adrian Aten and Jacobje Middagh. Elizabeth
Their son, Adrian3, was born about 1716. He was an early member at the First Reformed of New Brunswick, Middlesex , NJ
If they had a son named Abraham3, he did not marry Maria Barkeloo. Of the six supposed children, only the last three children listed in The Sutphen Family[28], Antje, Jacob[29] and Jan, could be his. The baptismal records mentioned for those last three children have not been found, so they and their parents have not been confirmed. As described later, Maria Barkeloo married Abraham2 Sutphen (Dirck1) and the first three children, Jacob, Cornelius and Antje, were theirs. He may be the Abraham Zutphen who appears in several probate records near Readington , NJ
They probably did not have a daughter named Lea3. No baptismal record has been found for her and their daughter Annetje[34] was baptized just three months after Lea was supposedly born. As described later, it was probably Lea3 Sutphen (John2, Dirck1) who married Henry Hoogland.
As noted by Ledley,[35] William[36] was probably not their son, but the son of John2 Sutphen (Dirck1)
Their son, Isaac3, probably did not marry Jannetje Barkeloo. As will be seen later, it was probably his cousin, Isaac3 Sutphen (John2, Dirck1) who married her.
The Family of John2 Sutphen and Engeltje Bennet
As discussed in a previous post, their son Jan3 did not marry Catherine Longstreet. He married Pieternella Stout and Ann, whose family is otherwise described in The Sutphen Family.[37]
Previously, it was thought that Jan and Jacob, sons of Jacob and Annetje Sutphen moved to Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ.[38] However, Jan was actually the son of Jan Sutphen and Engeltje Bennet, which suggests that Jacob, husband of Mary Schenck, was actually Jacob3 Sutphen (Jan2, Dirck1), thus the son of Jan Sutphen and Engeltje Bennet, baptized 20 Jan 1716/17 at the DRC of Freehold, Monmouth, NJ.[39] This is supported by the naming of his children. His eldest son was named John, after his paternal grandfather, and his other son, Ralph, after his maternal grandfather, while his daughter, Ann[40], was probably named after her paternal grandmother. The eleven married children of John2 Supthen (Dirck1) and Engeltje mostly followed the normal Dutch naming conventions, i.e. their two eldest sons and their two eldest daughters were named after their grandparents. All of them named one of their two eldest sons John. All of them with daughters had one of their two eldest daughters named Ann, except Benjamin whose third daughter was named Ann and Isaac who did not have a daughter named Ann. It appears that Annetje was a substitute for Angeltje/Engeltje in this family[41]. It is also supported by the fact that their brother, Derick3 Sutphen (Jan2, Dirck1), their sister, Agnes3 Sutphen (Jan2, Dirck1) and their sister Lea3 Sutphen (Jan2, Dirck1) moved to Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ as will be seen below.
Their son, Isaac3, is almost certainly the one who married Jannetje Barkeloo. not Isaac3 Sutphen (Jacob2, Dirck1). He is mentioned in the will[42] of Cryn Jans Van Mater as his brother-in-law. He and his wife, Jannetje Barkeloo, were witnesses for the baptism of his nephew, Isaac, son of Cryn Jans Van Mater and Mary Sutphen, his presumed sister, on 02 Nov 1760.[43] Like his siblings, his eldest son was named John, though he did not have a daughter named Annetje or Engeltje. He was on a jury for a trial for a murder committed on January 17, 1750,[44] He was also subscribed on 16 Mar 1750 to give money to the church.[45] Either of these could be Isaac, son of Jacob Sutphen and Annetje Bennet, but that Isaac would have been only 19 at the time for either of these, so it is unlikely.
Son, Derick3, born about 1709, married Maria Couwenhoven. They had 2 sons: Jan baptized 22 Aug 1732,[46] and a second Jan baptized 16 Dec 1733 at the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick.[47] Jan Sutphen, the paternal grandfather, was the witness for the baptism of his son Jan in 1732. On the same day, Derick was the witness for his youngest brother, Benjamin. Nothing is known for certain of Derick after the baptism of his son, John4, in 1733. He purchased land in Amwell, Hunterdon Co. from Jacob Sutphen on 15 Mar 1744.[48] He is probably the Derick Sutphen who was assigned land, on 3 Sept 1744 with Luke Ryerson at Alis Hocking Brook in Amwell, Hunterdon , NJ Co. , NJ in February 1753.[50] It may be Derick made an offering for himself and someone else as there is no other known Derick Sutphens in the area at the time. There were two Derick Sutphens is a subscription list of 1779[51], probably Derick3 and his nephew, Derick, son of Jacob3 Sutphen (Jan2, Dirck1). Lucas Ryersen and his wife, Elizabeth, had a daughter named Elizabeth
Their daughter Anne3, baptized in 1713, died young. They had a 2nd daughter named Annetje, baptized 6 Dec 1730 at the Old Tennent Presbyterian Church, Manapalan, Monmouth , NJ
Their daughter, Agnes3, married Johannes Williamson at DRC of Freehold and Middletown Raritan ]. This is a misrecording or mistranscription of Willmze as parents of their son, William, baptized on 5 Nov 1738 are listed as Johannes Wilmse and Agnietje Sutveen.[56] Johannes was probably the son of William Williamson & Catherine Gulick.[57] Their children were[58]: Catherine, born about 1737, named after her paternal grandmother; William, born about 1738 (baptized 5 Nov 1738), named after his paternal grandfather, Anne, named after her maternal grandmother Engeltje/Angeltje, John, born about 1743, named after his maternal grandfather; Abraham, born 1745, and Maria, baptized on 8 Oct 1749 (mother’s name given in the record as Agnes). Given the gap between Maria and his next daughter, Rebecca, and the naming of Rebecca’s children[59], it is likely Agnes died about 1750 and Johannes remarried a woman named Mary, named as his wife in his will. Johannes’ children by his 2nd wife were probably Rebecca, born 9 Apr 1753 and Jacob, born 5 Jan 1759. The family lived at Amwell, Hunterdon , NJ
Their son, William3, had three other children, Peter, baptized 1 Mar 1761 at the DRC of Six Mile Run, Somerset Co., NJ,[61] Annetje, baptized on 20 Jun 1762 at the DRC of Six Mile Run[62] and William, baptized 20 May 1766 at the DRC of Six Mile Run.[63]
Their son, Adrian3, was probably born about 1723 as he married Annetje Jansen on 29 Nov 1744 at the DRC of Freehold and Middletown
Their daughter Mary3, not Mayke[65], was probably the unnamed child baptized on 24 May 1724. She married Cryens Van Mater[66] by license dated 12 Jun 1752.[67] Engeltje Sutphen gave her consent to the marriage.[68] Also, her oldest daughter was named Engeltje[69] after her maternal grandmother and her second daughter was named Ida[70] after her paternal grandmother. Though the Somerset County Historical Quarterly is used as the source for their daughter Mayke as the wife of Garret Lane Garret Lane
Their daughter Leah3, probably married Henry Hoagland. The transcribed bible record copied by her son, James, in his Revolutionary War pension application of about 1832 gives Leah’s birth date as 11 Feb 1725.[73] A birth date in February would be typical for a baptism in March as was Leah’s, so her birth date in the bible record would be one year earlier than expected. The original record was transcribed by their son James for his Revolutionary War pension application and may have given the year as 1725/26, which may not have made sense in 1832. The naming of her oldest daughter, Ann, after her maternal grandmother, Engeltje/Angeltje, and her oldest son, John, after his maternal grandfather suggests this placement. Also, the family probably resided at Amwell, Hunterdon Co., NJ where several of her other presumed siblings lived.[74] Henry and Leah had their youngest daughter, Maria baptized[75] on 14 Nov 1762, and Leah’s sister, Mary, and her husband Cryn Jans Van Mater were the witnesses.
The Family of Derick2 Sutphen and Grietje Van Pelt
Their son, John3, married Neeltje Van Pelt, as described in the author’s previous post.
They had another daughter, Neeltje3, baptized on 2 Jun 1731 at the Old Tennent Presbyterian Church, Manapalan, Monmo uth , NJ
They had another daughter, Elizabeth3, born say 1733. She married Joseph Johnson by license dated 22 Jun 1756.[77] In his will[78] dated 10 Jun 1785, Joseph Johnson names his wife, Elizabeth, but no children. He mentions his nephew, Derrick Sutphen, son of Aurt. Aert was Elizabeth Elizabeth Middletown
They had another daughter, Jemima 3, born say 1736. She married Benjamin Griggs by license dated 11 Jun 1763.[85] She is mentioned in the will of Elizabeth, widow of Joseph Johnson, as her sister, Jemima Griggs (wife of Benjamin Griggs).[86]
The unnamed child baptized on 20 Oct 1723 at the DRC of Freehold[87] may have been the Jacob mentioned earlier as Jacob3 Sutphen (Jacob2, Dirck1)
The Family of Gysbert2 Sutphen and Geertje Van Pelt
Gysbert married 2nd Arriantje Nevius, widow of Peter Voorhees, by license dated 15 Jun 1749.[88] His son, John3 was baptized 08 Apr 1728, not born 1732.[89]
His son, Jacobus3, had another daughter, Geertje, baptized at the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, NJ on 30 Oct 1757.[90] Though his placement in The Sutphen Family was tenuous[91], with his eldest daughters and eldest sons named after their grandparents, his identification is assured.
The Family of Abraham2 Sutphen and Mary Barkeloo
The wife of Abraham2 is mentioned only once as Mayke in the records of the DRC of Freehold and Middletown
His son, John3, was baptized on 15 Dec 1734 at the Old Tennent Presbyterian Church, Manapalan, Monmouth Co., NJ.[94]
Three of the children identified in The Sutphen Family as children of Abraham3 Sutphen (Jacob2, Dirck1), i.e. Jacob, baptized 17 Jun 1739; Cornelius, baptized 10 Sep 1741 (not Aug); and Antje, baptized 06 May 1744 (not 1742), were children of Abraham2 Sutphen (Dirck1) and Mary Barkeloo. Mary Barkeloo’s parents are uncertain, but are likely Jan Harmens Barkeloo and Margaret, based on the naming of their eldest daughter, Grietje, after her maternal grandmother and their third son, John, after his maternal grandfather. The baptisms of the last three children in The Sutphen Family as children of Abraham3 Sutphen (Jacob2, Dirck1) could not be found. Given Abraham Sutphen and Mary Barkeloo’s first child was baptized in 1719, they are almost certainly not the children of this couple, but their parents have not been identified.
His son, Abraham3, married Eleanor Schoute, who was baptized on 21 Oct 1736. His will[95] mentions his wife, Lenah (nee Scout) and their daughters Mary4, Ann4 and Elizabeth4.
