Events

1. 1650, Dirck Teunissen or Dirck Teunissen Noorman, was in New Amsterdam as early as 1650, or before.
2. 1650, Oct 22, Dirck Teunissen married Adriantje Walich a widow from North Holland.
3. 1652, Apr 15, It appears that he had leased land of Abraham Verplanck But he began to burn lime upon it Verplanck therefore brought suit against him on April 15 1652 claiming that Teunissen by burning lime upon his land spoiled it impoverished the soil .
4. 1653, Dec 1; Teunissen had a second law suit on December 1, 1653 when Jan Hendricksen demanded to get his boat which was in the hands of Teunissen. The boat had been lost by Hendricksen. Teunissen had found it. He had not used it, but would not give it to the owner before he had paid one rix dollar in salvage.
5. 1655, Sep 6; Teunissen's sued Jacob Clomp "quote from the court minutes Pltf says the deft removed 3 of his canoes from the wharf and used the same on board his vessel, and has allowed them to drift away requesting restitution of the canoes, one of which was laden with lime belonging to Willem Bentin. Deft denies..."
6. 1657-1658; Teunissen was accused of having relations with his step daughter Tryntie Cornelis. This case went on from April 1657 through Mar 1658. Apparently, the case against Dirck and Tryntie was not further pursued...In fact there is some evidence that the charge against him was unfounded. First the mother's implicit belief in the daughter's innocence. Secondly, that Teunissen was not severely punished, if at all, for on December 22, 1658, he acted as sponsor at the baptism of Christian Pieterszen and Tryntie Pieters. Thirdly that this Tryntie Pieters was no other than his own accused step-daughter Tryntie Cornells. She had been married October 28, 1657 to Christian Pieters.
