VANDERGRIFT GENEALOGY by Fred Thomas: An
VANDERGRIFT GENEALOGY by Fred Thomas: Annetje was living in1695, but probably died before 1706, as she is not mentioned in her husband's will. Some have conjectured that she may have been sister of Roelof Jans, the first husband of Annetje Weber Jans, who later mar. Dom Everardus Bogardus, but she does not seem to be recorded as such, though she probably was a relative, as Roelof acted as sponsor for one of her children.

Life Sketch
Below are verbatim excerpts from Howard S.F. Randolph, F.G.B.S. [Fellow of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society], Associate Editor [of The Record], “The Elsworth Family of New York City, with the Related Families of Rommen-Romme-van Langstraat and Roome,” The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record (Volume 64[1933]).
154: “The progenitor of the Elsworth family in New York City is often mistakenly spoken of as “Christopher” Elsworth. His name is really Theophilus Elsworth… The error arose because the Dutch in New Amsterdam—true to their custom of giving nick-names and abbreviations of names—called him “Stoffel” or “Stophel.” “Theophilus” was not a Dutch name, and and “Stoffel” was the usual abbreviation for “Christopher” or “Christoffel.”
155: “Theophilus himself spelled his last name “Ellsworth” in his will, but from the time of his sons, on the family has spelled the name ‘Elsworth.”
155: “… the proclamation of the marriage of Theophilus Elsworth to Annetje Jans has been discovered in the archives of Amsterdam, Netherlands. This important document shows that Elsworth was a native of Bristol, England and was born there about 1625. It is found in the Proclamation Book at Amsterdam, D.T.B., 464… Translation… 1 June, 1647 [date of Proclamation]…. Theophilus Elswaert from Bristol [which means that he was born there]… having no parents [i.e. parents not living]…”
<== end of verbatim excerpts
Theophilus-1 Elsworth (ca. 1625–ca. 1712) of New Amsterdam, is frequently—albeit erroneously—identified as a son of Sir John Ellsworth and Lucia (Bower) of Cambridgeshire, England. Theophilus was not of noble birth; he and his wife, Annetje Jans, were “both unable to write, and the part of [Amsterdam] where they lived was of the very humblest.” (Randolph, 155).
Older genealogies frequently included “three brothers came to America” tales and some fraudulent professionals invented noble origins for immigrant ancestors to satisfy clients seeking greater social status. Others have attempted to validate lines of descent from Sir John and Lucia (Bower) Ellsworth to other immigrants of colonial New England named Aylsworth, Ellsworth, etc. No original records have been found to document the existence of the Ellsworth-Bower family.
