Marritje Jans, born about 1607 in Flekkeroy, Norway was the daughter
of Tryntje Jonas who was the first mid-wife of New Amsterdam and the
sister of Anneke Jans. Anneke had married twice. First to Roelof Jansen
in Amsterdam Reformed Niew Kerk in April of 1623 and the second time
in New Amsterdam to Domine Everadus Bogardus in March of 1638.
The records show that Marritje was married three times. Around 1632
she married Tyman Jansen, more than likely at Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
He died before 1646, for in that year Marritje married for the second time
to Dirck Corneliszen Van Wensveen on 28 August1646 at the Reformed Dutch
Church at New Amsterdam. Dirck died by July 1648 and the following year
on 20 July 1649 Marritje married for the third and last time to Govert
Loockermans.

on 11 April 1663 at New Amsterdam to Jacob Leiser.
Elsie had four children by Pieter. Three, Cornelis, Timotheus, and Margarita,
