Generation #2
Heyltje (1Dad) Jacobs of New Amsterdam
Heyltje Jacobs was born in about 1635, probably in the Dutch
Republic. From the 1679 marriage record for Heyltje's possible sister, Willemtie
Jacobs, researchers have reported that this family was from Goteburg, Sweden.
However, this is not proven.
1679 24 Dec; Jan Broersse Decker, wid Heiltie Jacobs,
liv Marbletown; Willemtie Jacobs, wid Jan Cornelisse, of Gottenburgh, liv Kingston.
Sometime before 1661, Heytje immigrated to Dutch America with her family.
Heyltje is first found documented in a 1661 Esopus (now Kinston
NY) baptism. In about 1662 probably at Esopus (now Kinston NY), Heyltje
married Jan Broesrsen Decker b. c. 1628 in Husun, Duchy of Schleswig.
Jan and Heyltje lived their lives in Wiltwyck (now Kingston,
Ulster Co) New York, raising at least four children. But, Heyltje died 1/9/1678
in Ulster Co NY, and Jan Broesren would marry next Heyltje's little sister, Willemtje
Jacobs.
