Pieter Philipszen Ringo(18) was born in New Amsterdam before 23 OCT 1658.(19) Pieter died after 1674 at age unknown.(20) He was baptized 23 OCT 1658 in New Amsterdam, New York.(21) PIETER PHILIPSZEN RINGO, the last known child of Philip Janszen Ringo and Geertje Cornelis, was baptized October 23, 1658 at the Dutch Reformed Church at New Amsterdam. Hillegond Megapolensis, wife of Cornelis Van Ruyven, as witness and Godmother. He lived to, at least, young manhood for on September 4, 1674 as “Pieter Philipszen,” along with Hendrick Gabriellsen, another sailor, appeared in the proceedings of the Court of New Amsterdam, suing John Thompson, skipper of the “Galiot” for an order requiring the master to pay them their monthly wages. The court, in its wisdom, ordered both parties “to conduct themselves on both sides as they ought to” and told the plaintiffs that they “shall return on board (the ship) to complete their voyage” or that they should supply two other sailors to take their places. Pieter was not yet sixteen years of age at the time. No more is known of his life or death, but it has been determined that the Pieter Ringo found at a later date in the Netherlands is not the same person.
