Roelof Pieterszen

1653 Oct 26; Roelof Pieter Roelofszen; Roelof; Cornelis Potter, Engelbert Corneliszen, Swaentie Potters

"ROELOF2 PIETERSEN [BAS] (Pieter1 Roelofszen) was baptized in the New York RDC on 26 October 1653 as the child of "Roelof Pieter Roelofszen" [sic] with sponsors Cornelis Potter, Engelbert Corneliszen, and Swaentie [Jans] Potters; he died, probably at Maspeth Kills, Newtown, Queens County, New York, sometime after 1703. Roelof was married no later than 1680 to AELTJE2 BOECKHOUT (Jan1 ), born, probably in Leiden, Netherlands, circa 1657; she died, probably after 12 November 1699 when she and Roelof served as baptismal witnesses together but before 6 October 1700 when Roelof served as a baptismal witness without her for her probable namesake granddaughter—Aaltje, the eldest daughter of their probable daughter, Hilletje, and her husband, Isaac2

Bragaw. Aeltje was probably the daughter of Jan1

Boekhout [John1

Buckhout] of Mespath Kills and his wife, Hannah. If so, Lysbeth Jans, second wife of Pieter1

Roelofszen, was first the step-mother of Roelof and then the sister-in-law of Aeltje.
