Susanna Verleth

Those who arrived on the "Fortuyn" in 1650-1651:

-- Their son, Nicholas Varlet, his wife Susanna Jans[30], and their baby daughter Susanna, born in 1649 in Amsterdam. Their youngest child, Abraham, was born aboard the "Fortuyn" in December 1650. Baptisms in Amsterdam of two of Nicholas and Susanna's children had been sponsored by his sister Francina's husband, Pieter Heijbloem. Francois Heijbloem (Pieter's brother, or perhaps their father) sponsored the January 1651 baptism in New Amsterdam of Nicholas and Susanna's son, Abraham. It is possible that Francois Heijbloem was aboard this voyage of the "Fortuyn", although no other evidence exists in North America of Francois Heijblom's actual presence there.[31] After Susanna Jans' death, Nicholas Varlet married Anna Stuyvesant, sister of Peter, director of the New Netherland colonies from1647-1664. [6] Nicholas Varlet had a varied and interesting career in the colonies, spanning a quarter-century. A comprehensive profile of his life with pointers to other resources can be found in Purple's "Ancient Families" series in NYGBR, Vol. 9, no. 4 (October 1878).
