About Anna (Anneke) Kikebel
Anne was banished from Albany by the magistrates for having an illegitimate child - (named) Benoni.
Records of the First Church at Albany show that Anna caused quite a stir in the church. Some women refused to go to communion if she was present. Her father sued the rumour mogers and won substantial damages.
Gradually she mended her broken reputation and married Thomas Kikebel, with whom she had a stormy relationship (as recorded in the Castello Pan Notes of I.N. Phelps-Stokes:
Tomas Davits lived at #2 Block M on Manhattan in 1669(on the east side of the canal...
Skipper Tomas Davidts bought one of Adriaen Vinchant's (Vincent's) houses, May 1, 1660, and sold it to Johannes de Peyster, January 22, 1670.-Liber Deeds, A: 192; ibid., B: 166. He seldom occupied it himself, for his wife, a daughter of Domine Gideon Schaats, preferred to live with her father, in Albany,. During 1662-3-4, this house was occupied by Foppe Robberts.-Register of Solomon Lachaire, trans. by O'Callaghan, 328-9; Rec. N. Am., V: 43. Thomas Davids, or Davidsen, sailed a sloop between New Amsterdam and Fort Orange. The Labadists, who went up to Albany with him, in April, 1679, speak very sharply of his character. The skipper was a son-in-law of D. Schaets, the minister at Albany, a drunken, worthless person who could not keep house with his wife, who was not much better than he, nor was his father-in-law. He had been away from his wife five or six years and was now going after her.-Journal of Jasper Danckatrts, ed. by James and Jameson, 197.
However, Anneke Schaats did not return with her husband on that trip. It took the authorities, both at Albany and New York, a long time to induce her to rejoin him. She was "headstrong and would not depart without the Sheriff & Constable's interference," in June, 1681. Finally, an "Extraordinary Court" was held in Albany, July 29, 1681. Thomas and Anneke were brought before it, and were bound over to behave themselves together, and to go to New York with their children. This they promised to do, but with evident reluctance. The history of Domine Schaats's troubles with his congregation and with his daughter is quaintly told in Doc. Hist. N. Y., 8vo. ed., III: 883-7, and reprinted in Eccles. Rec., II: 762-4.
Notes for ANNA (VAN CURLER) SCHAETS:
!Source: John T. Palmer's Schaets family history, p 16. Ann Schaets was banished by Albany by the magistrates for having a illegitimate child, Benoni van Curler, by Arent van Curler. The records of the First Church at Albany have confirming information that Anna caused quit ea stir in the church. Some women of the church refused to attend communion if Anna was present. Her father Dominie Gideon Schaets sued these rumor mongerers and won his case fort substantial damages. Records of these court proceedings are still in evidence at Albany. Agnietje Moens Schaets, Anna's mother, never recovered from her grief and seems to have pined away until she died in 1666. Anna's husband Thomas Davidse Kikebel adopted her son Benoni and gave him the family name. !In "Men of Religion and Skeptics," under the discussion of Dominie Gideon Schaets, p 222-223, we find "In time Anneke Schaets proved to these merciful people that her father was not wrong in deeming her not willfully evil but rather one misled by the credities of the Dutch-Mohawk frontier. Gradually she mended her broken reputation, married a Mr. Kikebell of New York, and after a short, stormy interlude of adjustment accepted her destiny, becoming an exemplary wife and mother. This fine, sturdy matron fulfilling well her normal obligations in the community, was a good divident to charge to the account of Dutch frugality, which extended not only to cheeses and grains but also to lives and the stuff of which humanity is made."
