Note inserted "Baptism and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church at Kingston (Hoes 1891) show that at time of marriage (p. 507, No. 70) of Cornelis Barentz Slegt, widower of Tryntie Bos. and Elsie Jans, she was widow of Hendric Jochemz (Hendrick Jochemsen Schoonmaker no doubt) and not the widow of Adrien Peterson (Van Alcmaer) as stated at bottom of p. 33. It would seem that the footnote to p. 114, Vol. 2 is correct and that Elsie Jans m, (1) Adriaen Petersen (Van Alcmaer), (2) Jochem Hendricksen Schoonmaker, and (3) (as his third second wife) Cornells Barentsen Slecht or Slegt. See also Baptismal records in above which show that children of Hendrick Jochemsen and Elsje or Elsjen Jans were baptised as follows (in addition perhaps to others) : Hendrick and Volkert 17 May 1665 (Jan Jansen Van Breestee was a witness); Engeltjen 18 Mar 1663; Hilletie 30 Oct 1669. Therefore, if she m. Cornelis Barentsen Slecht after 36 Sep 1584 she could not have m. Hendrick Jochemsen (Schoonmaker) as his 3rd wife and had the above children by him in the 1660's. D.S.P.

Promise to observe the lawful marriage [wettelycke trouw]. 2° The estate, possessed by each, each party, on either side, shall retain, unmixed for the heirs of either party. 3° The married couple shall live on what shall be gained during their married life. And what, upon the demise of either one of them shall be then found to be in existence, shall be equally divided, and the deceased's heirs shall receive the just half. Only the bridegroom donates to the bride as a dowry or bridal present two hundred sch. of wheat or the value of the same. The survivor is entitled to keep the gains [winste] until death or remarriage, viz. that which is gained during the married life, provided a reliable inventory shall be taken [so that] the same [can] not be diminished. In case the survivor, remaining single, should need the same, no inventory need be taken, but after the demise of both the heirs of both parties shall equally divide. In testimony of the truth have subscribed to the present with our own hand, this September 26, 1684, at Kingston.[signed] Cornelis Barents Slecht This is the mark X of Elsje Jans, by herself [signed] Jan Eltinge [illegible signature?] To which testifies [signed] Wm DlaMontagne, Clerk.
