About Lysbeth Jansen
Pieter Jansen alias (de) Noorman (Trynenburgh) married Lysbeth Jansen of Amsterdam on March 9, 1647. Pieter Jansen died before October 6, 1662 when his widow married Joost Janszen Cocquyt from Brugge who was at that time inhabitant of Bushwick[1]
As early as the year 1628, Jans William Woertman had married HARMTJE (Hannah, an unusual name among the Dutch) and they were the parents of at least three children born in Amsterdam, Holland:
2H. ELIZABETH JANS (or Woertman, dau of John) born about 1630. Her name is spelled variously in church records as Elizabeth, Lysbeth, Lysbet. Her first recorded appearance in America was 7 July 1647 when she married (1) PIETER JANSEN NOORMAN (born in Norway). Elizabeth and Pieter were among the first settlers of the town of Bushwick, having purchased 130 acres of land in that area, located on the East River. Elizabeth was living on and acquired title to this property at the time of her husband's death. She and her second husband made a joint will in 1688 giving the property to Teunis Woertman (son of her brother Dirck Jansen Woertman) in whose family it remained until 1785 and became known as the Woertman House.
Elizabeth married (2) 6 Oct. 1662 at New Amsterdam Dutch Church, JOOST JANSEN COCQUIT (Cockuit or Kokhuyt; bom at Brugge, Flanders, Belguini; recorded as emigrating from Wieringen 27 April 1660, as a soldier on the ship Otter). Elizabeth, as a widow, 10 March 1694/5 executed a codicil to the joint will, indicating that Joost died prior to that time. The will, proved 1 April 1695, made bequests to nephews and nieces indicating that Elizabeth died without issue.
