Willem Jacobs young man from Burum living in Amsterdam marr. Geertje Hendricks young woman from Gogh 3 April 1643. The witness named Stynje Jacobs wife of Roelof Jans is a possible sister to Willem Jacobsz.
There is no documentation that Geertje's father was Heyndrick Gerets van Gogh widower van Wees who marr. 22 July 1627 in Haarlem Gritge Jans widow from Gogh. Gritge Jans was not Geertje's mother, because Geerte was clearly born before 1628. Baptismal sponsor is Giertje Heindrix in 1644 and 1645. There is no documentation that she was Geertje's stepmother, Grietje Henricx could be a possible sister to Geertje Hendricks.

Dutch Convention, 1664; m. Geertje Hendrickse." Jack Cole's More About Willem Jacobse Van Boerum: Emigration: 1649, Came from Amsterdam to New Netherland Goverment: 1657, Was one of the Magistrates of Flatbush Residence: Settled in New Lotts which at the time was part of Brooklyn Der ick Hartshorn's More Abt: Arrived in New Amsterdam, about 1649. He was a Magistrate in 1657, 1662 and 1663. In 1664, he was identified as "Actual Schepen" (Overseer) of the town of Flatbush, now Brooklyn. At that time he reported to Peter Stuyvesant of the invasion of the town by the British. The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 123, number 3, July 1992 Origins of Some New Netherland Families By Harry Macy Jr (continued from The Record 123:96) BOERUM The Long Island Boerum family descends from Willem Jacobsz Van Boerum of Flatbush, who stated in 1687 that he hd been in this country 38 years, placing his date of arrival circa 1649 (DHNY 1:659). It has been stated, without proof, that the name was ôalmost certainly derived from the town of Burum in Frieslandö (Hendrick Booraem Jr, ôBoerum Family Genealogy,ö typescript, 1983 the Holland Society of New York Library). In his will drawn in 1687, Willem Jacobse Van Boerum named his wife Geertie Hendrickse and four children: Hendrick, Geertruy, Jacob, and Hillegont (Kings co. Deeds 1:110, abstracted Rec. 47:230). When Jacob was married in 1684 he was called ôvan Amsterdamö (Flat. Fr. Marr. 1:21), and the archives of that city confirm that the family had lived there. Using the Amsterdam DTB indexes, the following marriage intention was found (DTB 459:120, FHL 113202, 3 April 1643): Willem Jacobss van Burum snydergezel, out 26 jaer woonende in de St Jacobstraet is opgeteeck[en]t op de acte van Joannis Crucius pre[dikan]t met Geertie Heyndrix van Goch tot Haerlem (Willem Jacobss from Burum, journeyman tailor, age 26 years, living in St Jacobstraet, is registered on the attestation of Joannis Crucius minister, with Geertie Heyndrix from Goch, at Haarlem) In the margin of this entry is the word ôExtraordinaris,ö meaning that at least one of the parties was not a resident of Amsterdam. The Rev. Joannes Crucius was at this time minister at the nearby city of Haarlem (Nieuw Nederlandsch Biografisch Woorden boek, 1974 ed., 4:480), and the marriage register of the Reformed Church of Haarlem (FHL 115554) shows that the first banns were recorded on 5 April 1643 for: Willem Jacops j.g. van Burum woon[ende] toe Amsterdam met Geertje Heyndricx j.d. van Gogh woon[ende] inde Schachestraet testes Jan Janssz woon[ende] inde Schachestraet Styntje Jacops huys[vrouw] van Roelof Janss woon[ende] inde Hoochstraet (Willem Jacops young man from Burum, living in Amsterdam, and Geertje Heyndricx, young woman from Gogh, living in the Schachestraet [in Haarlem], witnesses Jan Janssz in the Schachestraet, Stynje Jacops wife of Roelof Jans, living in the Hoochstraet). A marginal notation indicates the couple were married 26 April 1643. One may wonder whether Stynje Jacops (Jacobs) was possibly a sister of Willem. Willem and Geertje had three children baptized in Amsterdam, in the same order as named in WillemÆs will: 1. Hendrick, 23 Oct 1644 in the Nieuwekerk, [of] Willem Jacobsz {&} Gitrje Henrix [wit.] Grietje Henricx (DTB 42:431, FHL 113145) 2. Gertruyt, 26 Dec 1645 in the Oudekerk, [of] Willem Jacobss [&] Giertje Henrix [wi.] Giertje Heindrix en Lysbet Davets (DTB 8:75, FHL 113133) 3. Jacob, 5 Feb 1647 in the Oudekerk, [of] Willem Jacobsz [&] Giert Heindrix [wit.] Abram Claes [&] Willem Rutjes (DTB 8:117, FHL 113133) On Long Island, Hendrick married Maria Adriaens Smit (See Rec. 109:138-46 for descendants); Gertruyt married Gerrit Lubbertsen (Rec. 116:154-63,202-210); and Jacob married Gertruyt de Beauvois (Kco. 39-40). Hillegont, the fourth and last child named in WillemÆs will, was apparently born after the familyÆs 1649 migration to New Netherland, in which case her baptismal record is lost; she married Jn Aldertsen Roosa of Kingston (Rec. 119:204-206). Nothing found to date has shed further light on the family in ôBurum.ö Church records for the Friesland village of the name do not begin until 1680. Geertje Hendricks van Goch was probably the daughter of the Heyndreck Gerets van Goch weduwaenar van Wees, who married in a civil ceremony at Haarlem 22 July 1627 Gritgen Jans weduwe van Goch (Haarlem DTB 151:7, FHL 115584). No other record of him has been found, but Grietje Jans might be the Grietje Henricx [i.e., wife of Hendrick] who appears as a baptismal witness above. Hendrick may also have been the father of a Cornelis Hendricx van Goch who was buried at Haarlem 23 November 1657 (Haarlem DTB 72:15). His previous wife remains unidentified. Goch (Gogh) is a town in Germany next to the Dutch border, and Weeze (Wees) lies about five kilometers to the south. However, this area was part of the Netherlands province of Gelderland until 1715. Mr Otto Schutte states that the painter Vincent Van GoghÆs surname derives from the same place. While church records for Goch and Weeze begin too late to be of help in this case, there are other extant records for the area which may prove useful. Footnote: It is not at all clear whether ôvan Gochö (or ôVan Goghö) should be read merely as ôfrom Gochö or as a surname. The marriage record for GeertjeÆs father cited here suggests the use of ôvan Gochö as a surname, since he is also called ôwidower from Wees.ö *********************** From: John Hagaman <hagaman@pluto.njcc.com> To: <Dutch-Colonies-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 1999 9:19 PM Subject: Re: Capt.
