   This would indicate that Judith was born about 1635. She married, 23 May 1666 in New York, Nicholas Bayard (Reformed Dutch Church NY Marriages 1639-1801, p. 32), and they had a son, Samuel, baptized 5 Sep 1669 (Reformed Dutch Church NY Baptisms 1639-1730, p. 95). The Varlet Family of Amsterdam (Cor Snabel and Elizabeth Johnson, www.varletfamily.pbworks.com) states that Judith was acually at least twenty-one years of age at the time of the voyage, citing her baptism on 8 Nov 1629 in Stadsarchief Amsterdam: doopregister, akte 6 p 256.

Burgomasters and Schepens finding, that parties have made no written agreement, and having carefully listened to the statements on both sides, decide, that the services of pltf. began, when she went aboard ship at Amsterdam, that according to the confession of pltf. the passage price from Holland was to be deducted from the wages and to settle the question of goods received, Jacob van Couwenhoven and Pieter Cornelissen van der Veen are hereby authorized to balance accounts."
   [Apparently all was finally decided amicably, as Judith (or her dau., also named Judith) was a sponsor at the baptism, in 1683, of Rachel Straatmaker, dau. of Gessie Gerrits, the sister of the plaintiff Jannetje].
