Descendants of the Immigrant Benjamin3 Van De Water (Jacob2, Claes1)
This post is a follow-up of the post “The Vandewater Family in the Netherlands.” Wilson Ledley provided an excellent overview of the family in his series of articles “The Van de Waters of New York.”1 When he began, he did not know there were actually two different Van de Water families. This post will focus on the family of the immigrant Benjamin Vandewater and will include the families of the Vandewater daughters which Ledley omitted. It will include some additions and corrections. The family of the immigrant Hendrick Vandewater was presented in a separate post.
Benjamin5 Vandewater (Jacobus4, Benjamin3) lived longer than previously thought. Ledley did not know that the 1738 census was taken in 1731, nor that Benjamin Vandewater, age 71 testified in a court case in 1741,2 so the family of Benjamin Vandewater listed there was the family of Benjamin5 Vandewater (Jacobus4, Benjamin3), not that of his supposed son of the same name. The three males over 10 are likely himself and sons, Bernardus and Peter. Of the three females over 10, only his wife Engeltje is known. He could have had a son named Benjamin as Ledley suggested if one his sons was living elsewhere at the time.
It was Benjamin5 Vandewater who married Magdalena Huysman Vandervoort, widow of Jan.3
It is likely that either Benjamin6 Vandewater, Jr. (who is otherwise unknown) or a son of Bernardus5 Vandewater obtained a marriage license with Ruth Hopson on 10 Jan 1758, though she remarried within the year to James Rigby so her husband was deceased shortly after their marriage. Ledley suggested her husband was an otherwise unknown son of Hendrick6 Vandewater (Johannes5, Hendrick4, Jan3, Hendrick2, Abraham1), but as was seen in the earlier post, that is very unlikely.
Engeltje6 Vandewater (Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) did not marry Jan Mekmijl as Ledley supposed.4 She married Adrian Hoogland as can be seen from the baptismal witnesses of her children, including Harmen Van de Water [her brother] and wife Marytje Coljer,5 and the naming of their eldest son, Benjamin,6 and their daughter, Engeltje, after their maternal grandparents. Jan married Engeltje6 Vandewater (Jacobus5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) whom Ledley proposed as an alternative.
Benhardus6 Vandewater (Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) did not marry a woman named Geertje and have a daughter named Ida; it was Barent Van de Vanter and his wife, Geertje.7 The witnesses were Cornelius Suydam and his wife, Margaret; the child’s maternal uncle and his wife, Margaret Van Sicklen. Bernardus may have married and had a son named Benjamin who married Ruth Hopson (see above). He may also have had an unknown son who had a son named Bernhardus who married Phebe Simons in 1773,8 though the timing is tight (each marriage at 20, and eldest child each time). Both Bernhardus and his wife were of Kings Co., NY at their marriage, the fellowbondsman being Lambert Andriessen whose family lived in Brooklyn. Ledley says he found two Bernardus Vandewaters in the 1790 Census of NYC, one in the West Ward9 and one in the East Ward,10 with the same family composition. Only the family in the West Ward was found on review, probably the husband of Phebe Simons. Only one Bernardus Vandewater was found in the 1789-1800 NYC directories.11
Peter6 Vandewater (Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) married Sarah Alberts whom Ledley did not name. The will of Johannes Albertse of Bushwick12 names his daughter, Seatie [probably Sarah] Vandewater and his son.in-law, Peter Vandewater.
Catherine5 Vandewater (Jacobus4, Benjamin3, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) did not marry Lucas Burbanck in 1765. His wife was identified as Catherine Caljer, third wife of Hendrick6 Van De Water (Johannes5, Hendrick4) in the earlier post.
Cornelius5 Vandewater (Jacobus4, Benjamin3) and Dorothy Losee did not have a daughter named Sarah13 who supposedly married Jan Bras. It was Dorothy’s sister, Sarah, who married Jan Bries/Bras, who were married by 29 Jun 1703 when their daughter Catherine was baptized with Peter Hendrickse & Catherine Hendrickse, the paternal grandparents, as witnesses.14
The family of Cornelius5 Vandewater (Jacobus4, Benjamin3) and Dorothy Losee was also discussed in an earlier post, “The Early Vandewaters of Hempstead, NY,” so only a summary will be included here. They almost certainly had a son named Peter6 after his maternal grandfather, Peter Losee. He moved to Westbury, Hempstead, NY by 1736, and named his nephew, Benjamin Vandewater (almost certainly the one who moved there by 1780, see below), in his will. Cornelius and Dorothy probably also had a son named Jurian after his paternal uncle, who was the Jurian Vandewater who lived in Hempstead, and who probably had a son named David who lived next to his cousin, Benjamin, in the 1790 census of Hempstead, NY. David’s son, Lott Uriah, was supposedly named after his paternal grandfather. Ledley tentatively identified this David as a son of Cornelius7 Vandewater (Jacobus6, Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3). However, that Cornelius is not known to have lived to maturity and neither of his siblings had any connections to Hempstead. In this identification, Cornelius is David’s grandfather, not his father. Other details for this family are described in the earlier post.
The family of Benjamin 7 Vandewater (Harmen6, Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) was discussed in an earlier post, “The Early Vandewaters of Hempstead, NY,” so only a summary will be included here. His two eldest sons, Harmen8 and Adolphus8, and a daughter, Catherine8, moved to Dutchess Co., NY. Benjamin 7 moved to Hempstead by 1780 and sold his land in NYC, NY in 1785. His third son, Benjamin8, apparently moved to Hempstead, NY with his father and married there in 1783. However, he appears to have returned to NYC, perhaps to manage his father’s farm until it was sold. He and his wife transferred their membership in the Dutch Reformed Church from Harlem to New Hackensack, NY in 1787, near his siblings.15 However, by 1790 he had returned to Hempstead, NY, living next to his father. Other changes to his descendants are discussed in that post.
Adolphus8 and his wife, Phebe Phillips, had two more daughters:16
Mary, born 27 Oct 1790, baptized at the DRC of Poughkeepsie, NY
Deborah, baptized 09 Jan 1791 at the DRC of Poughkeepsie, NY
Peter7 Vandewater (Jacobus6, Cornelius5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) and Aegie Lange had another daughter, Engeltje, named after her maternal aunt, who married Francis Harris17 on 17 Jul 1774 at the Reformed Dutch Church of Hopewell, NY.18 Their daughter, Hannah, baptized in 177719 with her maternal grandfather, Peter, and his 2nd wife, Hannah Morris, serving as witnesses, named after her step-grandmother. Engeltje was not Peter’s sister, Engeltje7, who married Jonas Schoovenhoven and was thought to have married 2nd Francis Harris.20
The abstract of the will of Peter7 Vandewater (Jacobus6, Cornelius5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3)21 mentions his daughter, Mary Sherlock, and his son, William Sherlock, not Mary’s son as Ledley understood the will.22 Peter’s widow, Elizabeth Fairchild, petitioned that she be appointed as guardian of her children, Mary Sherlock Vandewater, William Vandewater, Wincha and Elizabeth Vandewater on 7 Mar 1785.23 William Sherlock Vandewater married Clarissa Rodman on 15 Mar 1795 at the Presbyterian Church of Jamaica, NY.24 He may be the William Vandewater, husband of Claris, who was born about 1773, was living with his daughter, Eliza, wife of John Davies, in the 1850 census of Thompson, Sullivan, Co., NY, and died on 20 Aug 1851 at Belvidere, NJ.25 Claris was born on 15 Jun 1774 and died 11 Jan 1836 at Thompson, Sullivan Co., NY.26 They also had a daughter, Clarissa, who married 1st George Baker and 2nd Ely Moore.27 Peter’s daughter, Mary, probably married William Nesbit on 12 Oct 1794, also at the Presbyterian Church of Jamaica, NY.28
Magdalena8 Vandewater (Peter7, Jacobus6, Cornelius5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) did not marry John Oothout.29 Neither she nor her children are not mentioned in her supposed father Peter’s will. It was Magdalena7 Vandewater (William6, William5, Hendrick4), whose children were baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church of NYC, including Elizabeth and William, named after their maternal grandparents.
Benjamin7 Vandewater (Jacobus6, Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) had a son named John, after his maternal grandfather, John Simson. He was mentioned as Benjamin’s eldest son in the will of Benjamin’s brother, Jacobus7 in 1760.30 No further trace.
Lena8 Vandewater (Benjamin7, Jacobus6, Benjamin5, Jacobus4, Benjamin3) married Marinus Van Vlekeren with marriage intentions dated 20 Oct 1766, not 1776.31 Marinus married Lena’s sister, Mary8 on 15 Oct 1774, not 1784,32 confirmed by the baptisms of their children.
