Perry Streeter, "Gerrit Jansen van Oldenburg: DNA Testing Yields More Garrison Descendants in New Jersey & New York", New Netherland Connections Vol. 15, page 16 (2010): 15:17. Possibly the unkown fourth child identified in 1659 (NYGBR 124 (1993): Macy, "The Verschuer Family of Bushwick".

Elisabeth Gysberts was probably born between 1645 and 1655.

She married Jan Gerritszen, son of Gerrit Janszen van Oldenburg and Clara Matthys, "say 1676" according to one published source, but possibly as early as 1670 or earlier as argued by another.
Phylis J. Miller, "The Garrison-Gerritsen Descendants of Gerrit Jansen Van Oldenburg Alias Gerrit de Moe", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 124, pp.1-9 (Jan 1993): Married say 1676 based upon an estimated birth date of eldest son.
Perry Streeter, "Gerrit Jansen van Oldenburg: DNA Testing Yields More Garrison Descendants in New Jersey & New York", New Netherland Connections Vol. 15, page 16 (2010): 15:17. Argues for an earlier marriage date then 1676.

As a widow of John Garritse, called "Elisabeth garritse vande haes," she bought 178 acres at the "head of Fresh Kill" from Vincent Fountaine in March 1697. She sold half of this land to Pierre Joubert on 22 May 1699.
Phylis J. Miller, "The Garrison-Gerritsen Descendants of Gerrit Jansen Van Oldenburg Alias Gerrit de Moe", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 124, pp.1-9 (Jan 1993).

Elisabeth Gysberts died circa 1703; (in Jan 1704 her son, Johannes Garrison, sold the land on which she lived).

Nathaniel Brittain was born to William and Mary (Collins) Brittain in Amwell Twp., Pennsylvania. He married Jane Simonton about 1769 and they were the parents of Samuel, R.B, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Robert, Jane, Sarah, Nathaniel and John. He died on October 2, 1817.

Like many families, the Revolution split the children of William and Mary into two camps. Three of their sons were Loyalists and fought for the crown during the Revolution while the other 3 sons fought for the colonies.

Family/Spouse: Jean Simonton. Jean (daughter of Robert Simonton and Mary McDowell) was born on 11 Jan 1750 in Bedminster, Somerset County, NJ; died on 8 Mar 1799 in Northampton County, PA; was buried in Scotch-Irish Presbyterian Cemetery, Martins Creek, Northampton County, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Zeboeth Brittain was born January 9, 1746 in Amwell Township, New Jersey to William and Mary (Collins) Brittain. He marrried Elizabeth Marr in about 1767. They were the parents of Mary, William, Joseph, David, Elizabeth, Rachel, John, James, Ellen and Sarah.

Zeboeth's mother Mary was of French descent and strongly suppored the colonies during the revolution. William however, was a devoted King's man. This division in the family influenced their children. The three youngest sons, William, James and Joseph were Tories and went to New Brunswick, Canada to fight for the crown. Nathaniel, Zeboeth and Samuel fought for the Colonies in the New Jersey forces.

Zeb died on July 11, 1790.

From Sally Britton Shreeve:
"Zeboeth served for two seasons with Washington's Army. He fought at Fort Washington and at Strandsburg - was a summer at each place (Miller and Pursel). He was a Revolutionary Soldier from Northampton Co., PA (Oregon State Libary; 929.1/F53le by Charles A. Fisher pub. 1948 (A to Eppler (p. 67-70)From 1779, Pvt. in Co. of Capt. John Nelson 1779
To 1782, Co. of Capt. Hugh Gaston, 1st Class, 3rd Co., 5th Bat. Northampton County Militia.

Zebeoth may be found in U. S. Serial Set 12172 - 4. Easton is between the Lehigh and Deleware Rivers in Northampton Co.
MIL: "Zeboeth Brittain" (so spelled in the record) was still on the pay-roll of Capt. John Nelson's Company of Northampton County Militia in June 1779 (Pennsyvlania Archives, 5th Series, VIII, p. 659). He was 33 years old.

His brother Nathaniel was in this company at one time, but does not appear upon this pay roll. Zeboath (sic) also appears as a private in the Chester County Militia (Pennsylvania Archives, 4th Series, p. 271) He is said to have been in the battles of Stroudsburg and Fort Washington. Fort Washington is north of New York and was taken by the British in November 1776. Fort Penn was located at Stroudsburg in eastern Pennsylvania. Joseph and Elam (Alem) Marr were also in this captain John Nilson's Company. They were probably the brothers of Elizabeth Marr whom Zeboeth married." Source: "Brittain Genealogy" p. 5 by James E. Brittain.

"The Revolution almost collapsed during the winter of 1777-1778. Newport, New York, and Philadelphia were all held by the British, and Re-enforcements and supplies came to them steadily from over the sea, while Washington's Army at Volley forge was living miserably in a camp village of log huts." (Alber Bushnell Hart). It would be interesting to learn where old ZEB was at this time. Washington and Marshall over at Valley Forge, were asking where Thomas Jefferson was... Cornwallis did not surrender until October 19, 1781, so there was some activity during all the time of his service." "Brittain Genealogy" by James E. Brittain, (1936) p. 11

On the same day, he and his brothers Nathaniel and Samuel signed up with the Colonial militia and their younger brothers James, William, and Joseph signed with the Loyalist brigades. He was still on militia rolls in 1785."
