The son of Pieter Teunisen and grandson of Teunis Crynen of Etten. (Stowell, p 488).
Aert Pietersen Tack was recruited to settle in New Amsterdam by Adrien van der Donck. Prospective settlers for those Dutch colonies, or servants for those already established in New Netherlands, were hired or recruited in the mother country, generally in the area from which the colonial leader came -- in this case van der Donck from North Brabant.
Van der Donck at that time was seeking farmers for his Yonkers colony in the neighborhood of Breda, his birthplace. Among several he recruited were Aert Pieters Tack and Jacob Jansz/Jansen from nearby Etten, according to papers dated May 15, 1652. The two were contracted for six years. Such contracts ranged from two to six years. Passage money in these cases was usually paid by the employer. In New Netherlands, bed and board were furnished in addition to wages, which for farmhands ranged from 100 to 150 guilders a year, depending on age and experience.
After his marriage, Aert was beset with money problems, and soon deserted his young family. The nature of a number of difficulties involving Aert Pietersen Tack emerges through a sequence of court cases beginning in 1662. There were several problems with employees over wages, and that November (1662) he mortgaged the grain crop to be harvested the following year. Tack apparently left before the fall of 1663, either as the result of the Indian raid or under cover of it. His wife harvested the grain and was enjoined by creditors from using the harvest (except that which the court ordered her paid for her work in harvesting). In May 1664, further evidence of Tack's indebtedness, in this case, for cattle appeared. In July, the court took steps to condemn Tack's property for his absenting himself, and to sell it to satisfy a list of creditors. (http://www.pegrowe.com/genes/vanatta/vanatta_name_history.htm)
In May, 1664, and inventory was made of his estate, which was sold to pay his debts. The inventory included the following:
A farm containing 20 morgens* of arable land wherein there have been sown 11 schopels of winter wheat....a dwelling and lot at Wiltwyck, two mares and a young mare one winter old, a cow and a heifer two years old, a plow and its belongings, a wagon, a sleigh, a truncle cart, two harrows...one with wooden and the other with iron teeth, a fathom of rope....a rein with two bridle bits, a winnow, two hayforks, an old forest axe, a chest with old things (these Anneke Adriens appropriates for her own use), a pair of tongs and a dinner dish, a pothook, a blanket, an old bed (these three things Anneke Adriens appropriates), a water pail, a kettle, two wooden troughs, a strainer, a stoof [for warming feet over live coals], an earthen pot, a kettle filled with tar, a half barrel, a table without feet, 27 or 28 fir wood plates, a churn without bottom, some old tubs, some dreps lying in the loft, some oats worth 18 or 19 schepels, 1 or 1 1/2 schepels of peas, a bench and a chair, two lengths of old edges. Thus made in Wiltwyck this May 12, 1664. (Stowell, p 125).
According to Ernest Thode's German English Genealogical Dictionary, a Morgen is defined as, theoretically, the amount of land that one man and an ox can plow in one morning.
In October of 1664, Jacob Jansen (Van Etten), a farmhand of Tack (who later married Tack's ex-wife, Annetje Ariaens), sued for wages due him. The following month, Jacob himself was sued to collect a debt of wheat which he admitted but explained that he couldn't pay due to being sick with fever. He was granted time until the Tack estate was settled, when he presumably could collect wages due him. In January 1665, Annetje Ariaens requested relief from her debts because her effects had been sold "on behalf of creditors of her absconded husband". That same month, Jacob again requested the court that he be paid his wages from the estate in the amount of "388 guilders heavy money in wheat". He was told he could be paid after prior preference creditors were satisfied.
Betty Price posted the following to the Kuykendall page on Genforum.
For the benefit of those Kuykendall (and various spellings) descendants just learning about their heritage and for those who continue to add research to that which they already have, I want to let you know about an article just published in "New Netherland Connections" which is published quarterby by Dorothy A. Koenig, Editor. Internet address: dkoenig@library.berkeley.edu
In Volume 7, Number 2 of the April, May, June Edition 2002, front page, an article entitled "Aert Pieterszn Tack" by Frans Gouverneur of the Netherlands, tells many of us, myself included, about the family, parents and grandparents of our Aert Pieterszn Tack, father of Grietje Tack who married our First Born American Luur Jacobszn Van Kuykendall from whom all bloodline Kuykendalls, by any spelling, descend.
Mr. Gouverneur has translated much of what he found in the Holland records into English for our benefit for which I am grateful. I have great difficult in reading or interpreting the Dutch writings. His article includes sources which are very important.
One thing which I noticed in particular was his "spelling" of our given name, "Luur Jacobszn van KUIJKENDAEL." I think this is the first time that I have seen it spelled that way. However, in all of the writings that I have seen, the name is obviously outstanding and noticeable with any spelling. Even when it is found as "Kuy Kendall" two words, sometimes without the KUY. Careful research is important in that case.
Although Grietje was born to Aert Piertsen Tack while he was still married to Anneke Adriens, and raised by Anneke Adriens as her daughter, Grietje was actually registered as the daughter of Aert Pietersen Tack and Grietje Vooght when she was baptisized. Grietje Vooght was an indentured servant in the Tack household, and most likely was the birthmother of Grietje Tack.
Old Dutch Church of Kingston records show the following births:
Parents: Aart Pietersen Tack & Grietjen Vooght. Child: Grietjen. (baptised Aug 1663) Sponsors: Jacob Jansen, Barber Andries
The death record of her son Cecil shows her maiden name as Talley, and also indicates she was born in Transdale, Tennessee. Might this actually be a reference to Trousdale County?

From OLD TIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS by Virgie Speights
WILL TATOM March 28, 1963
When Will Tatom celebrated his 89th birthday Sunday, more than 150 persons attended the annual all-day celebration. A new 50 foot long table had been built in the yard of his home near Pineland, where he has lived for the past 50 years. Fifty-four of his 70 descendants were present including all nine of his children.
Mr. Tatom was in the midst of all the hubbub, chipper as could be, greeting friends and relatives from far and near, including several sets of twins these being scattered throughout the family. The little Saver twins, exactly 85 years younger than he, perched one on each knee while he remembered about his early life.
Born in the community in which he has lived his whole life, just southwest of Hemphill, he told of his early ancestors being early Sabine County settlers. His mother, the former Ella Dent, was a native of Georgia, but his father, Samuel Plummer Tatom was born at old Sabinetown, of parents who came from Mississippi. The family claims Indian ancestry, and Mr. Tatom does seem to possess the dignified bearing of an Indian chief.
Mr. Tatom has the reputation of being a steady, enthuisiastic worker. His first job was hauling freight by wagon and mule team before the days of railroads in Hemphill. He hauled freight from Many, Louisiana and Bronson, Texas for the early Hemphill merchants, including Ed Pratt, J.O. Toole and Taylor Morris. He still remembers the day he made his biggest paycheck. From Bronson he rushed to a printing press to Hemphill and then sped back to Bronson with a gasoline motor. For this long day's work, he received the magnificant sum of $10, which was really a handsome sum in those days.
Most of his livilhood was earned on the farm and he owned quite a sizable portion of land in his community, his holdings stretching from near Hemphill to quite close to Pineland.
As each of his children married, he gave 40 acres as a wedding present. For the boys, he added a horse. All except two of his children still live in this area, in the Pinehill and Plainview communities. Mrs. Ola Kemp, a daughter lives in Beaumont, Texas, and W. C. Tatom, a son, lives in Buna, Texas.
Mrs. Vernon Dubose, her husband and two children, live with her father in the old home. The others, who live near are Dewey, Elmon, Clyde, Claude, Grady, and Mrs. Edna King.
Mr. Tatom married Miss Delia White, also a native of Pinehill, in 1896. She died in 955, after 59 years of marriage.
Troy Tatom, 71, of Pineland died at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, 1994, at his residence on FM 2024, Plainview Community.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the chapel of Starr Funeral Home Inc. in Hemphill with Bro. Don R. Falke, pastor of First Baptist Church, and Bro. T.A. Lane, pastor of Yellow Ridge Baptist Church, officiating. Interment was at Plainview Cemetery.
Born June 16, 1923, in Sabine County, as a son of the late Dewey and Etta (Pennington) Tatom, he had lived in Beaumont from 1946 to 1975, when he retured to Sabine County. He and Mildred Boyett were married Aug. 8, 1944, and celebrated their golden anniversary earlier this year.
Tatom was a retired truck driver with Temple-Inland Forest Products and Overland. He was a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II and a member of Pineland's First Baptist Church.
Survivors: his wife, Mildred Tatom of Pineland; two daughters and sons-in-law, Elaine and Hunter Henry of Midland, Michigan, and Nancy and Larry Shackleford of Sour Lake; five grandchildren, Luke Shackleford and Taylor Shackleford, both of Sour Lake, Adrianne Reed and Joda Henry, both of Michigan, and Jamie Henry of Florida; brother and sister-in-law, Lynn and Dorothy Tatom of Pineland; an aunt, Vernon DuBose of Pineland; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Pallbearers: Reggie Cordray, Rodney Cordray, Thomas Cordray, Samuel DuBose, Floyd Gipson, Hershell Phillips, Eugene Tatom, and Norbit L. Tatom.
