[In listing her birth, FindAGrave has no function for choosing older, colonial names. Her birth is probably Gravesend, Long Island]
...............................................

Agnietie Truax (or du Trieux) was said to be born on Christmas Day and baptized on 29 Dec 1675 in New Amsterdam. Her parents were Jacob du Trieux and Lysbeth Post.

Agnes married Benjamin Stout sometime before 1711, most likely in New Jersey. Some genealogists think he may have been married before to a Mary Leonard. In 1712, Agnes is a member of the Middletown Baptist Church and Benjamin has served as Sheriff of Monmouth. By 1715, they have moved to Appoquinimink Hundred, Delaware. (This becomes New Castle, Kent Co, DE) Benjamin appears to already have children when his father, Richard Stout, dies in 1705. [WFT 9 June 1703 - proved 6 Oct 1705, Middletowne, NJ. Six sons (including Benjamin) and 3 daughters are named, as well as a dau/law - meaning there is a dec'd son = 10 known children.

Benjamin gifts land in 1721 to adult sons Charles (of nothing further, except he sells this land in 1727) and to Benjamin. (d. Delaware 1740: WFT 25 Apr 1740, proved 10 June)

Father Benjamin died in 1734, with Agnes and son Jacob petitioning the court to sell the house. 1740 is not only the year Agnes' son Benjamin died but also the year her daughter Agnes and husband Alexander Blackshear sell his inherited land and begin their move to North Carolina. Several accounts say Agnes (and one other person not named) accompany them to NC. She may have died there sometime around (or after) 1745. The other person is not Jacob's or Benjamin's widow (Elizabeth Lewis) as they can be accounted for in Delaware. It is unknown what happened to son Charles or who this traveling companion might have been.

Anyone having further information on Agnes after 1740, please share. The above biography is a compilation of several accounts. Other than the land records, WFTs (Wills and Final Testaments) or other court actions, the story needs more proof.

About Aeltje Pieterse van Couwenhoven
Aeltjem was born an illegitimate out-of-wedlock daughter to her mother Marye du Trieux by Pieter Wolphersen van Couwenhoven. However, Maria's first husband was Cornelis Volckertsen Viele.

reference to her illegitimate birth
I, the undersigned Pieter Wolphersen, hereby acknowledge for myself, my heirs and successors that this day, date underwritten, I have adopted,as I do hereby adopt, Aeltjem Pieters van Couwenhoven, my own daughter, whom I have begotten and procreated by Maria de Truy, promising therefore that from this date I shall do by the above-named, my daughter, as a god fearing father is bound and ought to do by his own legitimate daughter; therefore, I hereby discharge and release Cornelis Volckersen, husband and guardian of the aforesaid Maria de Truy, from all charges and responsibilities incidental to the bringing up of a child till she becomes of age; I, Pieter Wolphersen, promising to look after the child, to let her learn to read and to bring her up according to my means.

Furthermore, if I do not beget any children by my present wife, the above named child shall be my rightful heiress and inheritrix, as if she were duly begotten in lawful wedlock, and if it happens that children be begotten by me and my wife, the above named Aeltjen Pieters shall receive, like the legitimate children on my side, a just child's portion of all such goods, means and effects as it shall please the Lord God Almighty to bestow on me. Requesting that this may have effect before all courts, I have signed this without fraud in the presence of the subscribing witnesses hereto invited. Done, the 7th day of January 1642.

This is x the mark of Pieter Wolphersen

Acknowledged before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, Secretary on January 7, 1642.

Lt. Pieter Wolphertse Van Kouwenhoven commissioned a Lt. during the Esopus War on June 30, 1663. Lt. Pieter Wolphertse Van Kouwenhoven in 1688 at Brewer, Elizabethtown, Essex County, New Jersey.

pos Annetje Peterson was the daughter of Lt. Pieter Wolphertse Van Kouwenhoven. I came across this item in the Fall 1997 Swedish Colonial News. It has a Couwenhoven reference which may be of interest to you.
Anders Stille's Wife by Dr. Peter S. Craig

Deeds by Anders Stille, eldest son of Olof Stille, identify his wife as Annetje, the Dutch form of Anna. In testimony before the New Castle court, Anders stated that he had been familiar with the houses and streets of the town since 1658. In the 1671 English census of the Delaware, Anders was shown as residing in New Castle and married to the owner of his house, named Anna Peterson by the English census taker.

Who was Anna or Annetje "Peterson"? This has long stumped me. However, in working up a pending article on this 1671 census for future publication, I was struck by the fact that Wharton's cenuss was a door-to-door survey of each resident. Comparing his census with records of early patents and deeds disclosed, beyond question, that the house occupied by Anders Stille and his wife was owned by a Dutch brewer by the name of Pieter Wolfertsen van Couwenhoven, who was in prison at Manhattan in 1671 because he had defaulted on a mortgage of property in Elizabethtown, NJ, to Governor Philip Carteret of New Jersey. Pieter was not himself named in the census, perhaps to hide his identity from creditors. But, whatever the reason, the father's financial difficulties now tell us that his daughter, known as Annetje Pieters van Couwenhoven to the Dutch, was the wife of Anders Stille, the Swede. The house in New Castle was sold in 1672 and the Stille family moved to Christiana Bridge to live next door to Anders Stille's niece Elisabeth Petersdotter (Yocum), wife of the English soldier, John Ogle.

Dr. Peter S. Craig 3406 Macomb Street NW Washington DC 20016.

Pos Annetje Peterson was also known as Anna Pieterson. She was also known as Annetje Pieters. Annetje married Anders Olofsson Stille, son of Olof Persson Stille, in May. 1671.

10178 Notes: MHR
From Willit T. Summers Spears to Mary Hedges Reiner, February 1977: This account is from a copy of a letter by Jennie E Gano (Jan Elizabeth Jameson Gano), born Oct 3, 1857.

"The RIBELIN's" "The ancestor of the RIBELIN's in Kentucky was WILLIAM RIBELIN, who came to Kentucky with DANIEL BOONE some time in 1783. He and his wife, MARY ANNE, were with BOONE at the time in the Fort at Boonesboro, sharing the dangers and hardships of pioneer life. Later he bought land about five miles from Mt. Sterling in what was then Fayette Co. VA., now Montgomery Co. KY.

We have the bond for a deed to land purchased by him from Charles Morgan, dated March 10, 1787. There are a number of old deeds but this one is the oldest proof we have of his settlement in KY. The story of his coming with BOONE in 1783, is a family tradition of which no written proof has been found to date.

This WILLIAM RIBELIN was a grandson of WILLIAM RIBELIN who came to Charleston, South Carolina from Germany when he was 21 years old, bring a small box filled with gold. You have seen the box many times as we have it now.

WILLIAM RIBELIN, who came to KY, (our great-great grandfather), was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and present at the capture of Lord Cornwallis. His discharge from the army was in the family for many years, but now is lost. He died in Montgomery Co. KY, in 1822, and is buried in a family burying lot near his old brick house where he lived on Slate Creek. (Note by M.H.R: He died Nov 4, 1822 in Fleming Co. KY, a farmer and shoemaker. I doubt that his house was brick.) (Further note by M.H.R: Fleming Co. KY., Circuit Court file No. 8721, Dec 18, 1810. A certain ELISHA HURD owned 350 A. which is described in an article between said HURD and one, WILLIAM RIBELIN, to whom said HURD, on the day aforesaid sold said land). On Nov 4, 1822, said RIBELIN departed this life."

10183 O'Callaghan's History of New Netherland, Volume I, page 172. O'Callaghan says:

Van Twiller, Wolfert Gerritsen, Andreas Hudde, and Jacob van Curler, obtained from the Indians, in the course of this summer, without the knowledge or approval of the directors in Holland, three flatts of land on Long Island, amounting, it was estimated, to between ten and fifteen thousand acres. (Footnote: 16th June, 1636. The Director-general and council of New Netherland, residing at Fort Amsterdam, on the island of Manhattans, certify, that before them appeared, this day, Tenkirauw, Ketamiau, Ararykau, Aswackhou, Suarinkekinkh, Wappattawackenis, Ehetyl, owners, who by the advice and in the presence of Penhawis, Cakapeteyno, chiefs in that quarter, have, for certain goods delivered to them, sold, &c., to Jacobus van Curler, the middlemost of the three flatts to them belonging, called Castateeuw, lying on the island Sewanhancky, between the boy of the North River and the East River. Same day, same parties sell to Hudde and Ferrittsen, the westernmost of the above flatts; and on the 16th of July, same year, same Indians sell to Van Twiller the easternmost of those flatts. Alb. Rec. GG,31, 35, 39. Van Curler transferred his part, called Cashutey, to Van Twiller in July, 1638. Alb. Rec.i.,30.) The Director-general established a tobacco plantation on one part of his section; Gerritsen and Huddde had a well-stocked farm, called Achterveldt, on theirs; and Jacob van Curler hired Thomas Hall to superintend another farm, or plantation, which he commenced on his part.

10189 Obituary
Died – of quick consumption, after an illness of six months, at the residence of her parents, William N. and Ann E. Cassity, four miles north-east of Wetmore in Brown County, Kansas, at 8 o’clock, a.m., Sunday; June 10, 1888. Mary Alma Jinks.

Deceased was born in Brown County near where she died, Sept. 25, 1864, and was therefore 23 years, 8 month and 10 days old at the time of her death. She was married to Ernest Jinks Feb. 22, 1882, and leaves a husband and two children, Wm. Curtis, five years old, and Bessie May, two years old. She made a last request of her mother to take care of Bessie. Being the last sister of a family of five she much desired to see Willie, the oldest brother who was in Leadville, Col., and telegraphed for but did not arrive until she had passed away – the realities of which none living knoweth.

At the early age of eleven years she joined the Methodist church, and lived an upright believer thereafter. She was a loving daughter and sister, dutiful wife, a kind and loving mother, and leaves a grief-stricken husband, father, mother, three brothers, and last but not least two little orphans who had hardly learned to lisp the dear word, “mother,” then the monster, Death, snatched her from them; shall we say forever? We hope not.

The funeral took place at the Baptist Church at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. Rev. T.E. Rolfe delivered one of his very able funeral discourses to some three hundred relatives and friends of the deceased, after which a long train followed the remains to its final resting place in the Wetmore Cemetery.

The parents and husband of the deceased extend to all who in any way helped them in their sad bereavement, their heart-felt thanks.
