Jacoba Schenck Reyerszen

Different name variation/spelling?

Jakoba married Jan Dircksen Hooglandt circa 1689?

Information I have reason to believe is/may be accurate, but have no proof of, is preceded and/or followed by a question mark: thus "James Houghland. b. ?1781" means I'm making an informed guess at his birth date. If you take my information elsewhere, please, please, also take my doubt.

By 1741 Jan had settled at Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. "Here probably Jan Dircksen died, but his wife, Jacoba, was living in 1765."

In the 1765 will of son Derrick, provisions were made for Jacoba, his elderly mother.

REYERSZ, REYERSZEN or RYERSS [modern Ryerson]

Adriaen, therefore, became the first progenitor of the Adriaensen [since Adriaense or Adriance] family in America, also of the Martense family, [now extinct], of Flatbush, L. I., and the Ryers, or Ryerss, family of Staten Island, a branch of the Ryerson family. The descendants of his brother Martin's family are all known by the name of Ryerson and Ryerse. The peculiar Dutch custom of changing the names has been explained in the previous part of this work. While the name of Reyersz is of considerable antiquity in Holland and belongs to the privileged classes they retained their Dutch family name until coming to America. In all probability the spirit of liberty and democracy which prevailed in the colonies led Adriaen to permit his children to follow the local American custom. Hence his two older sons, Elbert and Martin, became the ancestor of the Adriance and the Martense families.
