On 17 March 1653 Cornelis Barentsz Slecht is mentioned as being married. As registrations of later dates reveal, his wife was Tryntie Bos (†1674), a daughter of one of my female-line ancestors, Thijs Jansz Bosch of Bodegraven, Holland. They had at least 2 sons: Matthys & Hendrick, and a daughter Jakomyntie Slecht.

The first publication of the Banns of Cornelis' remarriage were on 26 Sept. 1684 by parson Johannes Weecksteen, of Kingston: CORNELIS BARENTZ SLEGT, widower of Tryntie Bos, of Woerden in Holland, and ELSIE JANS, widow of Hendric Jochemz, of Breestee, both resid. in Kingstouw[n].
HENDRICK CORNELISSEN SLECHT, wheel-wright, young man of Woerden in Hollant, and ELSJEN BARENS, young girl of Amsterdam, both residing in Wiltwyck, now Kingston. First publication of their marriage Banns was on 25 July; the third on 8 Aug. 1666 in Kingston. Hendrick Slecht & Elsje Slecht widnessed the baptism of Roelof, son of Jan Elthingh & Jakomyntie Slecht, on 27 Oct. 1678 in Kingston.

ReplyDeleteSorry for my late reaction. I noticed this Slecht family because the Dutch word "Slecht" had the meaning of "bad". Anyway, I link to an American branch is always interesting!
DeleteHi Judy and Joan, I'm descended from Cornelis Slecht & Tryntie Bos, as well. Judy, I would love a link to the American side. I've thought about going overseas to research more but will first visit the New Netherland Institute in Albany and the NY State Archives. My email is kambricrews@gmail.com. Couldn't find you on Facebook Judy, but my name is pretty easy to find. Would love to share any info. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry for my late reaction. Sending an email when there's a commend to approve doesn't seem to work. Indeed, Facebook has a lot of Judy Martins.
DeleteI think I am related as well. :)
