Pieter
Caspersen van Naarden ★ was
purportedly from France, but while living in Leyden (Leiden, near the North
Sea), Holland in July 1621, he called himself “Pierre Gaspard” on a petition to
be relocated to America MA1, and he must have also lived in Naarden,
on Gooimeer (Gooi Lake) at some
point ST15, MA1. His request seems to have
been granted, as he was in New Amsterdam before February 17, 1647, when, as
“Pieter Van Aerden” (from Naarden),
he witnessed the baptism of Hendrick, the son of Abraham Ryck BI1, MA1. On April 10, 1650, as “Pieter
Casparszen”, he witnessed the baptism of Abraham, the
son of Abraham and Aechtie Jans
Willemszen BI1, MA1. He married Aechte Jans van Norden in about the year 1651 in New Amsterdam MA1, MA4, and because he was called a
carman ST15 and a beer carrier FE7, he probably owned a horse and
a cart. On June 15, 1653, Pieter Van Naerden
and Aecht Jans were
witnesses or sponsors of the baptism of Frans, the son on Wessel Evertszen and Geertje Bout at the
Dutch Reformed Chuch in New Amsterdam EV4. On September 13, 1654, Pieter Van Naerden
and Belitje Theunis were
witnesses or sponsors of the baptism of Aeltje, the
daughter of Gerrit Gÿsen EV4.
In 1656, just 120 houses existed within the confines
of New Amsterdam, but by 1660, the city had grown to approximately
300 homes ST15. The “Afbeeldinge van de Stadt Amsterdam in Nieuw Neederlandt” is a map which is commonly called “The
Castello Plan”, and was drafted sometime between 1665 to
1670, but depicted the layout of the city as it was in the summer of 1660 ST15. The Castello Plan utilized data compiled by
the survey of the city ordered by Jacques Cortelyou on June 7, 1660 ST15. Combined with contemporary records and the “Nicasius de Sille List”, which
was a survey conducted by Nicasius de Sille that occurred on July 10, 1660 of all
of the houses which had been built by that date, and essentially was a
street directory, it was possible to determine the occupants or owners of each
house and shop ST14, ST15. This information was employed to create a key to The Castello Plan, a
reproduced map with city blocks which were assigned letters, and houses which
were assigned numbers ST15.
The house of Pieter van Naarden
was located on the corner of Heere Gracht, which is now called Broad
Street, and Marckvelt Steegh (Marketfield Street), and is referred to as Number 19 on
Block “D” ST15. He and Claes Tijssen (Claes Tyssen Cuyper GE2), who was a cooper, each purchased a plot of
land at this location in October 1653 from Willem Beeckman
ST15. The conveyance of
Pieter’s lot from Beeckman was dated on October 15,
1653 GE2. The width of
these lots on the Gracht
(canal) were less than twenty feet, and were just forty-six feet deep, with an
alley of four feet between them ST15. The small home constructed by Claes Tijssen
was demolished sometime before the map was created in the summer of 1660, but
after March 1658, when David Wessels purchased the Tijssen
lot as an addition to his own, which was directly behind the Mabille and Tijssen parcels ST15. David Wessels instead built a wall which
fronted Heere Gracht ST15.
Pieter and over twenty other burghers and residents
appeared at the City Hall on November 11, 1653 in response to a summons, at
which time they were asked by the Burgomasters
and Schepens if they would submit to some general taxes which would benefit the city FE7. A schepen
could be compared to an alderman or a council member
who also served in a judicial capacity. The
Burgomasters and Schepens had enacted a measure which would funnel the excise
of beer and wine into their coffers, and this money would be utilized for the
good of the city, but the effective date of this measure was November 11, and
so there was no cash on hand as of yet FE7. The attending burghers and inhabitants
unanimously approved the measure, and the name of Pieter Caspersen appeared as
a signatory FE7.
On May 4, 1654 at the City Hall of New Amsterdam,
Pieter Caspersen van Naerden and Barent Jacobsen Cool took an oath to
comport themselves honestly and in accordance with the laws in their office of
Beer Carrier FE7. Several rules were enacted, which they pledged
to follow; a transcription of this account has been provided FE7:
the Burgomasters and Schepens of
this City aforesaid do hereby ordain and enact: That from this time forth the
Burghers as well as the Tapsters or Tavern-keepers, who are desirous of laying
in or carrying away any wines or beer, shall be bound before so doing, to
obtain from our Receiver thereunto appointed, a proper permit, and pay the
excise promptly thereof, which Receiver shall be in attendance for that purpose
in his house from 6 o’clock to 8 o’clock in the morning and from one to three
in the afternoon, except on Wednesday and Saturday afternoon.
And in order to
prevent all fraud and smuggling in the one and the other, the Burgomasters and
Schepens aforesaid with the approbation of the Honble
Director General and Council have appointed and accepted as sworn Wine and Beer
Carriers Barent Jacobsen Cool and Pieter Caspersen
van Naerden and no person, be he who he may, except
such Beer Carriers, shall be at liberty to work at, lay in, or remove any wines
or beer from one warehouse, cellar, or brewery to another or to bring foreign
beer within this City’s gates on pain of forfeiting said wines or beer and
arbitrary correction at the direction of the Court.
And in order
that this Ordinance and Law may be the better observed and obeyed by every one, the officer is commanded and ordered, to pay
strict regard to all frauds and smuggling, and he is authorized, whenever he
may deem it necessary to search in the presence of two of the Court the cellars
of the Tapsters, and to gauge all the casks, and to seize all the wines and
beer, that have not been entered-or have not paid excise, which according to
the foregoing Article, in addition to the Arbitrary Correction, shall be
subject to confiscation to be applied 1/3 to the poor; 1/3 to the officer and
1/3 to the informer.
Thus done and enacted at the
Court of Burgomasters and Schepens of this City of New Amsterdam, and after
publication, affixed this 4 May, 1654. Arent van Hattem 1654, Martin Kregier, P.L.
vandie Grift, Pieter Wolfersen,

Provisional
Instruction prepared by Burgomasters and Schepens of this City New Amsterdam
relative to the Office of Beer and Wine Carrier:
First. The Wine
and Beer Carriers shall be obliged to be in attendance from six o’clock in the
morning until six o’clock in the evening in front of the Company’s Warehouse,
or each one at his own dwelling-house in order to be ready and at the service
of every one, who would desire to lay in or remove any
wine or beer.
2dly
It shall not be lawful for the appointed Wine and Beer Carriers to labor at any
wines or beer, or to carry them from one place to another before and until a
proper permit from the Receiver thereunto appointed shall be delivered unto them; which permit they shall be obliged to return to the
said Receiver every evening after sunset.
3rdly
The appointed Wine or Beer Carriers for what they may

thence to and about the Fresh Water, double what is aforesaid.
But in case any
Brewer employ his own horse and dray and a man to convey Beer with one of the
appointed Beer Carriers, the latter shall be entitled to the just half of the aforesaid fees, and if the Beer Carriers make use of the
Brewer’s horse and dray then one third of the fee shall belong to the Brewer.
4. The
appointed Wine and Beer Carriers shall be held to provide at their own cost
their own tools for handling the wine and beer.
5. In attending
to the duties of their aforesaid office, they shall not be permitted to get
drunk, so that in handling the wines or beer, no damage may happen through
their carelessness, and in case such may occur, and it be found to have
happened through their neglect, they shall be liable to repair and pay the
damage in full.
6. That the
appointed Wine and Beer Carriers be not defrauded by others in their office
aforesaid, they are hereby charged to keep sharp watch on the exportation and
importation of wine and beer and if they find, that such is done by any other
person, they may seize all such wines or beer, whereof they shall receive the
third part.
Finally, the
appointed Wine and Beer Carriers promise and swear that in this, their aforesaid office, they will act faithfully and honestly;
that they will practise or allow no fraud; and
observe the foregoing regulations, as well as such as the Burgomasters and
Schepens may hereafter add thereunto.
And therefore Barent Jacobsen Cool and
Pieter Caspersen van Naerden are provisionally
chosen, appointed, and accepted for one year certain, who, thereupon, in the Court
of Burgomasters and Schepens, at the hands of the Officer have solemnly taken
the following oath. Done at the City Hall, New Amsterdam in New Netherland this
4 May, 1654. Aernt van Hattem
1654, Martin Kregier, P.L. vandie
Grift, Pieter Wolfersen, Oloff
Stevensen, Wilh: Beeckman.
We Barent Jacobsen Cool and Pieter Caspersen van Naerden, in quality as Beer Carriers and laborers in the
Weigh-house and porters in the Public Store, promise and swear in the presence
of Almighty God, to behave ourselves honestly and faithfully in the aforesaid
office; also not to meddle with or assist in any smuggling, and in all things
discharge the duties of our office, as honest Wine and Beer Carriers are bound
to do according to the above order and the laws of Fatherland. So truly help
us, God Almighty!
Later that year, on October 5, 1654, Pieter
Caspersen van Naerden was a defendant against Anthony
Jansen van Vaes, who demanded the rent for the previous year and the current year which was due him, a sum of approximately three florins
FE7. Anthony Jansen
van Vaes stated that he intended to seize the furniture from Pieter’s house,
because Pieter proposed to vacate the premises FE7. Pieter acknowledged that he owed Anthony the
back-rent, and he requested an extension, but the Burgomasters and Schepens
judged that the proposal of the confiscation of Pieter’s furniture was lawful,
until Pieter was able to make a full payment or otherwise satisfy the plaintiff
FE7. This suggests
that once Pieter was able to pay Anthony, his furniture should have been
restored unto him. Slightly over a month after this, in probably an unrelated
case, Pieter Caspersen was a plaintiff on November 30, 1654 against Teunis Tomassen Quick, who was in
default FE7; further details of this issue are unknown.
Pieter Caspersen of Naerden
had the Small Burgher Right on April 12, 1657, which meant that he was entitled
to trade and had the potential to be appointed to an office of less import than
that of those who had the Great Burgher Right, who could serve in the office of
Burgomaster, Schepen, Orphan Master, or Schout FE11. Pieter died circa 1665 MA1, or in or before 1668, when Aechte was described as a widow ST15.
The father of Pieter
Caspersen van Naerden
may have been Caspar Mabille MA1,
MA4, who was perhaps born in Naarden, Holland, and
has been referred to as “the Sergeant” MA1. Caspar
traveled to New Amsterdam in or before 1650, for on November 6, 1650 in that
city, as “Caspar de Sergiant”, he witnessed the
baptism of Joris, the son of Joris Homes MA1. The father of
Caspar was said to have been Seigneur Pierre Mabille
de Névi MA1, MA4, who was also
called “Pierre Gaspard Mabelle” MA4, and was a
Huguenot who held estates in Neuvy, south of Angers
in Anjou MA1. There are about nineteen locations
with the word “Neuvy” as a part of the place-name in France (perhaps even more than that), and of
those, two are south of Angers; Neuvy-Bouin is
sixty-six miles due south of Angers, and Neuvy-en-Mauges
is twenty-five miles southwest of Angers. Pierre may have evacuated the country
to Holland after the Massacre of St. Bartholomew’s Day, on August 24, 1572 MA1.
Aechte Jans van Norden ★ was called Aechtje Jans, an unmarried woman from Norden, when she married
Abraham Willemszen, and unmarried man from Amsterdam,
on April 27, 1647 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam PU4. Because she was “of Norden”, Aechte probably
immigrated to New Netherland, and the city of her birth was most likely Naarden, Holland. Abraham Willemz. Van Amsterdam was a seaman for the West India Company who worked on the Swoll in 1643 JA7.
Abraham Willemszen was the father of Willem, baptized
on August 2,1648 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; witnesses or
sponsors were Jan Willemszen Van Amsterd.,
Jan Dirckszen Van Amsterdam, Grietie
Hermans, and Marÿ Geeraer PU4. After
marrying Aechtje Jans van
Norden, Abraham had requested and was granted a leave of service in 1647 and
found local carpentry work in New Amsterdam, but he engaged in a duel on
November 12, 1649 and died from his injuries the following day JA7.
However, the baptismal record for the second child of Aechtie
and Abraham did not indicate that Aechtie was a widow
of Abraham Willemszen. Aechtie
Jans and Abraham Willemszen
were the parents of Abraham, who was baptized on April 10, 1650 at the Dutch
Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; witnesses or sponsors were Arie Dirckszen, Pieter Casparszen, Marÿ Claes, and Janneken Jans EV4. After the
death of Abraham Willemszen, she married Pieter, with
whom she was the mother of Marritien, Jan, Engeltje, Metje, Caspar, and Trÿntie.
Marritien, the daughter of Pieter Casparszen, was
baptized on September 12, 1652 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; witnesses or
sponsors were Adriaen Dirckszen,
Marritie Lievens, and Lÿsbeth Cregiers EV4,
MA1.
Jan, the son of Pieter Van Naerden, was baptized on October 4, 1654 in the Dutch
Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; witnesses or sponsors were Hendrick Willemszen and Marritie Claes EV4, MA1. Jan Pieterse of the Woestyne
married Anna Pieterse, the daughter of Pieter Jacobse Borsboom PE18. Jan was the father of
Pieter, baptized on January 20, 1686 in Albany, New York, Catharina, who was
born about 1691, Annatje, who was baptized on April 16, 1693 in Albany, New
York, and Jacob, perhaps baptized on May 5, 1700 PE18 but called the second
son in Jan’s will dated April 3, 1725 PE21. Jan
Pieterse Mebi and Annetje Bosboom were the parents of Abraham, baptized on June 26,
1695 at the First Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady in Schenectady,
Schenectady County, New York; witnesses or sponsors were Gerrit Symonse (Veeder) and Antje Sanders CO40. Jan Mebi and
Annetje Bosboom were the
parents of Engeltje, baptized on November 10, 1697 at
the First Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady; witnesses or sponsors were
Jacobus Peek and Jannetje Reyerse
Schermerhoorn CO40. Jan
Mebi and Anna Borsboom were
the parents of Maria, baptized on May 5, 1700 at the First Reformed Dutch
Church of Schenectady; witnesses or sponsors were Jacobus van Dyck and Sara
Peek CO40.
She may have also been called Maritje PE18. Jan Meby and
“antye” Bosboom were the
parents of Meittye, baptized on October 7, 1704 at
the First Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady; the witness or sponsor was Lysbis Aonissen CO40. Jan was also the father of Margaret,
who he named in his will NE36, PE18, PE21. Jan Mebie and
Anna Bosboom were witnesses or sponsors of Anna, the
daughter of Kornelis Slingerlant
and Eva Mebie, who was baptized on October 3, 1703 at
the First Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady CO40. John Mabee,
a yeoman of Schenectady, New York, wrote his will on April 3, 1725 in which he
named his eldest son, Peter Mabee, his second son,
Jacob, his youngest son, Abraham, and his daughter, Margaret; this will mentioned seven daughters but named only Margaret NE36, PE21. Jan Danite and Jacobus Peek were
witnesses and the will of “Jan Peterse Mabee” was proved on September 13, 1725 NE36, PE21. Jan
died on April 8, 1725 PE18. A
gravestone inscribed with “ANNO1725 IANMEEBIE DEИ8APRIL OBIT” is located
at Vale Cemetery in Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York; a photo of this
gravestone can be viewed on the Find a Grave website.
A different individual
called Jan Pieterse Van Naerden has been said by some genealogists to have been
the son of Pieter and Aechte. Information about this Jans Van Naerden has been
provided here, but I do not believe this individual was the son of Pieter and
Aechte. Jans Van Norden was said to have married Elizabeth Rees MA1 or Elizabeth Rees Van
der Lipstradt VA14; this marriage may have occurred in the
Lutheran church attended by bride’s family VA14. Lysbeth, the daughter of Andries
“Roos Van derlipstradt” was
baptized on October 25, 1654 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam EV4. This Lysbeth
or Elizabeth was later referred to as Elizabeth Rees. Elisabeth Rees was a
witness to the baptism of Elisabeth, the daughter of Adam Jansen and Abeltie Sloth, on May 24, 1701 at the Reformed Dutch Church
of Hackensack in Bergen County, New Jersey, and Elisabeth Rees was called the
grandmother of Elisabeth, the daughter of Andries Van
Norden and Antie Laroe, in
her baptism at the Hackensack Dutch Reformed Church in New Jersey on September
15, 1717 HO23. Jan Pieterse Van Naarden and Elizabeth Rees Van
Lipstradt were said to have been the parents of ten children VA14. These were Peter,
born about 1674 in New York, John, born about 1675 in New York, Caspar, born
about 1677 in New York, Metty, born about 1678, perhaps in New York, Andries,
born about 1680 in New York, Adam, born about 1681 in New York, Albert, born about
1684, perhaps in Bergen, New Jersey (now the site of Jersey City), Margarita,
born in Bergen about 1686, Elizabeth, and William, born in Bergen in Hackensack
or Bergen VA14. The records of the Lutheran Church in New
York state that Margareta Jansen Van Orden (probably Jan and Elizabeth’s
third-to-last child) was born in Bergen, New Jersey and married Hannes Lassen
of Kingston on September 12, 1708 BA49. This marriage record was also recorded thusly
in 1708: “Oct. 24, at Hackinsack, at our religious service. Johannes Lassen,
Y.M., and Margareta Jansen Van Orden, Y.D.” BA49. Margareta Lassen of
“Hackinsack” was called a widow of Johan Lassen in her second marriage to
Richard Kock on September 25, 1715 BA49. Jan was said to have died on August 29, 1733
and Elizabeth was said to have died on December 15, 1735 VA14.
Engeltje, the daughter of Pieter Van Naerden and Aeghtie Jans, was baptized on
September 6, 1656 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; witnesses or
sponsors were Reÿnout Reÿnoutszen
and Jannetie Jans EV4, MA1. Engeltie Van Naerden
was said to have married Jan Jansen Mol MA1, VA14, who was called a
French Huguenot VA14 and a shipbuilder MA1. Engeltje Pieters, an
unmarried woman from New York, and Jan Janszen Moll, an unmarried man from
Amsterdam, who both resided in New York, declared their intent to marry on
September 12, 1675 and were said to have married on November 20 in Esopus PU4. Engeltje and Jan were
the parents of eight children whose baptisms were recorded in the Reformed
Dutch Church in New York EV4. Engeltie
Pieters and Jan Janszen Mol were the parents of
Pieter, baptized on May 23, 1677; sponsors or witnesses were Aecht Jans and Otto Gerritszen EV4. Engeltie Pieters and Jan Janszen
Mol were the parents of Maria, baptized on September 29, 1680; sponsors or
witnesses were Lúcas Tienhoven
and Trÿntie Pieters EV4. Engelte
Pieters and Jan Janszen Mol were the parents of
Abraham, baptized on February 18, 1682; sponsors or witnesses were Hendrick Jilliszen and Trÿntie Pieters EV4. Engeltie
Pieters and Jan Janszen Mol were the parents of Jacobús, baptized on January 30, 1684; sponsors or
witnesses were Hendrick Kermer, Lúcas
Tienhoven, and Trÿntie
Pieters EV4. Engeltje Pieters and Jan Janszen
Mol were the parents of Aefje, baptized on April 21,
1686; sponsors or witnesses were Jacob Boelen, Jan Pieterszen, and Trÿntie Pieters EV4. Engeltie
Pieters and Jan Mol were the parents of Johannes, baptized on April 8, 1688;
sponsors or witnesses were Assúerús Hendrickszen, Jan Pieterszen, and
Marritje Pieters EV4. Engeltje
Abrahams and Jan Janszen Moll were the parents of Aefje, baptized on September 8, 1690; sponsors or witnesses
were Wilhelm Abrahamszen and Lÿsbeth
Schúúrman EV4.
The reason that Engeltje’s surname was recorded as
“Abrahams” is unclear. Engeltie Pieters and Jan Janszen Mol were the parents of Isaacq,
baptized on May 1, 1692; the sponsor or witness was Annetie
Thomas EV4. Engeltje Pieters was called the wife of Jan Mol when she
was a witness to the baptism of Jan, the child of Anna Mol and Jan Farrlis on May 5, 1700 EV4, but Jan Janszen
Mol had died in or by 1704 when Engeltje Moll married
Mÿndersz Steen on October 10, 1704 in the Dutch
Reformed Church in New York; they had a license to marry on October 8 PU4.
Metje, the daughter of Pieter Van Naerden and Aegtie Jans, was baptized on
April 14, 1658 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; witnesses or
sponsors were Jacob Kip and Merritje Adriaens EV4, MA1. Metje Van Naerden was
said to have married Jean Pierrot VA14, MA1 who was also a
shipbuilder MA1. Metje
Pieters and John Piroo were the parents of Pieter,
baptized on February 24, 1689 at the Dutch Reformed Church in New York;
witnesses or sponsors were Caspar Pieterszen and Aechtie Jans EV4. Metje Mebÿ and Jan Piroo were the
parents of Maria, baptized on August 10, 1690 at the Dutch Reformed Church in
New York; witnesses or sponsors were Hendrick Jacobszen
and Lÿsbeth Forman EV4. Pierre,
the son of Meta Meby and Jean Pierro, was born around noon on August 9, 1692
and was baptized after the morning prayer on Wednesday, August 24, 1692 in this
church by the minister, Mr. Peyret; he was presented to St. Batême by his godparents, François Vincent
and Elizabeth Gautier WI42.
The record in French stated “Batême. - Auiourdhuy mecredy [probably “Baptême. - Aujourd'hui mercredi”] 24.e jour d’Aoust 1692
apres La priere du matin a esté Baptisé En cette Eglise par Monsieur Peyret
Ministre Pierre fils de Jean Pierro et meta Meby né le neuf de ce mois viron
midy presenté au St. Batême par françois vincent et Elizabeth
gautier ses parein et marreine” WI42.
Casper, the son of Pieter van Naerden and Aechtje Jans, was baptized on February 15, 1660 in the Dutch Reformed
Church in New Amsterdam; the witness or sponsor was Marie Boele EV4, MA1.
Trÿntie, the daughter of Pieter Casparszen Van Naerden and Aefje Jans, was baptized on
December 17, 1662 in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam; the witness or sponsor was Sara Pieters EV4, MA1. Tryntie Van Naerden was said to have married Hans Spier of
Bergen on August 1, 1683 VA14. The records of the Dutch Reformed Church in New
York indicate that Trÿntie
Pieters, an unmarried woman from Bergen, married Hans Hendrickszen
Spier, an unmarried man from Bergen on August 1, 1683; they had a certificate
from Bergen PU4. If this Trÿntie Pieters was the daughter of Pieter and
Aechte, then she and Hans Spier resided in Bergen, New Jersey. Treyntje Pieters and Hans Spier were the parents of
Hendrick, baptized perhaps on October 5, 1685 in the Reformed Protestant Dutch
Church of Bergen in the village of Bergen, New Jersey; witnesses or sponsors
were Jans Aerts van de Bilt and Catreyna Spier BA50. “Freyntje” Pieters and Hans Spier
were the parents of Herrempje, baptized on October 3,
1687 in the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Bergen; witnesses or sponsors
were Johannes Spier and his wife BA50. Treyntje Pieters and Hans Spier were parents of Johannes,
baptized perhaps on October 7, 1690 in the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of
Bergen; witnesses or sponsors were Toris Jansen and Merritje Tonis BA50. However, there was a Tyntje Pieters
who resided near Aneckje Jans
on the west side of Heeren Gracht in New York in 1686 BA17.
“Aaght Jans, wid:
of P. van Naarden” resided on the Heere
Graft on April 19, 1665 FE12.
She was enumerated on that street when she was assessed zero florins for the
support and lodging of soldiers; her tax was likely waived on account of being
a widow FE12. After the death of
Pieter and as late as 1686, she continued to live in the house on the corner of
Heere Gracht and Markvelt Steegh ST15, for in 1686 as “Aneckje Jans, widow of Pieter Van
Naerden”, she was listed as a member of the Dutch
Church in New York City, who resided on the west side of Heeren Gracht BA17. Additional individuals who were likely her children
who also resided on that the west side of Heeren Gracht in 1686 were Tryntje
Pieters and Jan Jansen Moll and his wife, Engeltje
Pieters BA17. Aechte Jans died
circa 1689 MA1.
