• Notes

  Married: Jacob's widow, Stijntje married Claes Teunissen who later moved the family inland to a more remote area known by the Indian name, sopus also known by the Dutch name, Wiltwyck (now Kingston, Ulster county, NY). Claes and Stijntje's names appear in both Fort Orange and Wiltwyck records. There is no compelling evidence of any children born to Stijntje Douwes in her second marriage to Claes Teunnisen. No record has been found of when Stijntje or Claes died. We know only that Stijntje is last mentioned in Kingston church records in 1682 and Claes in 1700. There were clearly two different Claes Teunissen's in the records of New Netherland, so beware in researching Claes.
