About Barbara van Swearingen
From Four Kings
In 1658, Garret van Swearingen was appoined as one of the Councilors and the commissary Feneral of the City of Amsterdam in New Amstel. Garret married Barbara De Barrettes (this surname appears in some of the colonial papers as de Barrelle). Barbarah was born in Vallenciennes, France (naturalization petition) and was probably a sister or daughter of Isaac de Barrette of Haarlem, Holland, who came to America about 1656/7. In the naturalization petition of 1669, Garrett paid court costs for himself, his family, and Isaac de Barrette. Barbarah may also have had a brother, Peter, who was referred to by Garrett in a Talbot Co. Deed Book (15 Sept 1668) as "my trusty and well beloved friend and Brother Petter Debarale to be my True and Lawfull Atturney." She, was from a Norman-French family.
In 1669 Garret and Barbara and her family received their English naturalization papers. Barbara DeBarrett and Garrett van Sweringen are known to have had at least three children as their names appear in a will from this period. It was shortly after the takeover of the Dutch colony at New Amstel, his family migrated to St. Mary's City in St. Mary's County in the province of Maryland.
In 1670, Barbarah de Barrette died at St. Mary's and six years later Garrett married Mary Smith, then about sixteen years old.
