- Marritje Jans, born about 1607 in Flekkeroy, Norway was the daughter of Tryntje Jonas who was the first mid-wife of New Amsterdam and the sister of Anneke Jans. Anneke had married twice. First to Roelof Jansen in Amsterdam Reformed Niew Kerk in April of 1623 and the second time in New Amsterdam to Domine Everadus Bogardus in March of 1638.
The records show that Marritje was married three times. Around 1632 she married Tyman Jansen, more than likely at Amsterdam in The Netherlands. He died before 1646, for in that year Marritje married for the second time to Dirck Corneliszen Van Wensveen on 28 August 1646 at the Reformed Dutch Church at New Amsterdam. Dirck died by July 1648 and the following year on 20 July 1649 Marritje married for the third and last time to Govert
Loockermans.
