Notes - Note on Find a Grave for her son Symon
Symon Groot (Symon de Groot or Symon Symonse Groot on some records. [Delete this sentence ] I don't believe Symon Symonse because we show his father was Hugo) was born about 1620 in the Netherlands to Hugo Cornelis and Maria Peter Van Reygersberch de Groot. Rebecca Philipse du Trieux was born about 1630 at New York City, New York County, New York to Phillip Antonse and Suzanne du Chesne du Trieux. Symon came early to New Netherland. He was a boatswain of the ship PRINCE MAURITZ in the service of the West India Company and was living in New York City by 1643. Symon married Rebecca about 1650, probably at New York City, and their children (not sure of order) were: Rebecca, Suzanna, Marietje, Lysbet (#176286789), Symon, Cornelius, Claas, Sarah (#167475267), Philip, Dirk and Abraham. The family moved to Beverwyck (Albany), New York in 1654 and moved on to Schenectady in 1662. Symon and his sons had become farmers by this time. February 8 and 9, 1690, the family were some of the victims of the Schenectady Massacre when the French and Indian allies attacked the village. Symon and his wife Rebecca were in Albany attending a baptism when the attack happened. Their five living sons were taken prisoner and marched to Canada, the trip taking two weeks due to the snow and cold weather. It took over a year to gain the release of all their sons. Symon died in 1699 and is probably buried in Schenectady.

[3] - REBECCA DU TRIEUX, probably born in New Amsterdam, married Symon Symonee Groot. He came to New Netherland in the service of The West India Company, as boatswain in the ship Prince. Maurica. In 1645 he bought a house and lot of Jacob Roy in New Amsterdam. Soon after he removed to Feverwyck, where he purchased or built a house, which in 1654 he offered for sale. In 166, being about to remove to Esopus, he empowered Johannes Withart to sell his house and lot; but it is evident that he changed his purpose, for in 1663 he hired a bouwery of 25 or 30 morgens of Gerrit Bancker and Harmen Vosdored, at Schenectady, and still retained possession of his house in Albany as late as 1667.
On the sad night of Feb. 8th, 1690, his five sons, Symon, Abraham, Philip, Dirk and Claas were taken captive by the French and Indians and carried to Canada; the following year they were redeemed. (Pearson, First Settlers of Schenectady.)

[4] - 8 Feb 1690 - Schenectady
Her five sons Symon, Abraham, Philip, Dirk and Claas were taken captive and redeemed a year later.
