Notas

She was daughter of Eoelof Kiersted aud Eyke Boosa, and a descendant of Annetje Webber, wife of Eoelof Jansen, and afterward of Rev. Everardus Bogarctus, who is familiarly and expensively known to her descendants, to Trinity Church, and to the courts of New York, as Anneke Janse. Roelof Jansen and wife had a daughter, Sarah Eoeloffe, who was married to Hans Kiersted, and their son Eoelof Kiersted was husband of Eyke Eoosa.

The ancestor of the Kiersteds was killed in France for his religion, and his dead body was dragged through the street by the hair of his head. His son, who was a weaver of line fabrics, was stripped of his property. Hiwife peddled needles and other small things. Both were industrious, and they got together considerable money, which they invested in black broadcloth, and bringing the cloth with them to New Amsterdam, they found profitable sale, for some conspicuous man had recently died, and black goods were in demand, while the supply was short. The sale of the cloth gave them such a start that they were in possession of a large property at the time of their death.
