I am not positive that I transcribed the names of the two last children of Roelof and Eyke; they may not both be named Aldert. If there’s only one Aldert, then that one is the father of the three children. Wientie was not in this record. Charles Hollander, 2010

from David Baker, 2013: "Roelof's father was Hans Kierstede who came to New Amsterdam with Director Keif in 1638. He married Sara Roelofs in Manhattan 29 June 1642. " David Jacobowitz

GEDCOM Note

There was a Roeloff KIERSTEDE (b 01/16/1646/47 d 1713) who married Eyke Aelbert ROOSA (b 04/02/1650 d 1731), who had a descendant by the name of Cornelius KIERSTEDE, who was a gifted silversmith. I don't know if this was a child of Roeloff's or perhaps a nephew. It could be that Cornelius crafted the knives for a ROOSA family.

Here is the story on a fabulous bowl crafted by Cornelius KIERSTEDE:

"The largest two-handled American Silver Bowl known to date has just been acquired by Robert Ensco, Inc., of New York City. It was made by Cornelius Kierstede, a silversmith of Dutch ancestry, who was baptized in New York in 1675. He served his apprenticeship as a silversmith and became a Freeman in 1698. He moved to New Haven in 1722.

"This Kierstede bowl is unusual because of its size and its beauty. It is ten inches in diameter, four and one-half inches high and weighs a bit over twenty-six ounces. It is more than an inch larger than any other known two-handled bowl made by an American silversmith.

"There are six panels with embossed floral decoration that suggest the flower motifs used by early Dutch painters. In the bottom of the bowl is a large conventionalized flower of intricate workmanship.

"While Cornelius Kierstede worked in New York City his silver was highly individual and showed strong traces of continental influence. Unlike many pieces of fine silver, this two-handled bowl bears the initials of the owners, Q over T and V, for Theunis Jacobsen QUICK and his good wife, Vroutje Janse Haring Quick. They were married in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City, 1st Dec. 1689. Later they moved to Somerset County, N. J., where Theunis was an honored member of the Dutch Reformed Church in New Brunswick.

"There is no question that this bowl was made by Cornelius Kierstede while he still lived in New York City. It shows a welldefined foreign influence with the caryatid handles and the elaborate detail. Stephen G. C. Ensco considers this piece one of the most important examples of late seventeenth century American silver he has ever seen."

This bowl is now in possession of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
