marriage

1650 07 Aug; Mathys Capido, jm van Bontze; Elsje Pieters, van Hamburg, wid Hans Webber

from I.N. Phelps Stokes

Capito then secured the position of clerk or secretary to the village of Wildwyck, in the Esopus (now Kingston). The great trouble of his life overtook him there. In a letter to Stuyvesant, dated June 29, 1663, he describes it feelingly:

(The writing of Mathys Capito (Capido) "I, your Honorable Worships' humble petitioner, have also been brought to ruin during these late troubles in the village of Wiltwyck, caused by the savages, not having lost only my dear wife, who was killed by the barbarians and then burned with the house, to which they set fire, but in the same fire also all my movable effects, that nothing else is left to me, but my honest name.-N. Y. Col. Docs., XIII: 267. "

Captain Martin Cregier gives an account of the murder of Vrouw Capito, in hisJournal of the Second Esopus War.-Doc. Hist. N. Y., 8vo. ed., IV: 37.

As part of this account, it seems Cregier identifies Vrouw Capito as Elsje Pieters...
