Hilletje Bragaw

~• thanks to the work of:

"That Roelof Pietersen [Bas] and Aeltje Boekhoute married and were the parents of Hilletje, wife of Isaac2

Bragaw, is deduced from the following baptismal records: —On 12 November 1699, in the Brooklyn RDC, Roelof Pieterse and [his wife] Aeltje Boekhoute served as sponsors for the baptism of Pieter, son of [Roelof's brother] Johannes Pieters and Annetie Arianse. —On 6 October 1700, Aaltje was baptized in the Brooklyn RDC as the eldest known daughter of "Isaak Broekaar" and''' "Hilletje"'''; with [maternal grandfather] "Roelof Bas" and [paternal grandmother] "Catalijntje Broekkar" serving as witnesses. Aaltje and Aeltje are Dutch equivalents of Alice; therefore, it seems virtually certain that she was identical with "Alles," one of the five children named in the will of John Buckhout [Jan Boekhoute] of Mespath Kills which he made on 23 August 1682 (Long Island Source Records, 133, as abstracted from the Town Records of Newtown, Queens County, New York)."

"HILLETJE, b. ca. 1680 or earlier; ; d. after 1736 when "Heyltie Bragaw" occupied "No. 11. Juffrou's Pew" in the Dutch Church at Newtown, Juffrou being a title of respect for elderly females (Appendix D. "Pew-Holders of the Dutch Church in 1736," The Annals of Newtown, 416); died before 8 Nov 1754 when she was omitted from her husband's will; m. probably at Dutch Kills, Queens Co., NY on 3 April 1699 to ISAAC2 BRAGAW (Bourgon1 Broucard), bapt. Brooklyn RDC 7 Aug 1678, d. between 8 Nov 1754 when he made his will and 14 March 1757 when it was proved, son of Bourgon1 and Catherine (Le Fevre) Broucard."

Baptized New York Reformed Dutch Church Oct 26, 1653 as the child of 'Roelof Pieter Roelofszen" with sponsors Cornelis Potter, Engelbert Corneliszen, and Swaentie [Jans] Potters.
-----------------------------------------------------
This marriage and the birth of Hilletje is deduced from the following:
1 - on Nov 12, 1699, in the Brooklyn Reformed Dutch Church, Roelof Pieterse and [his wife] Aeltje Boekhoute served as sponsors for the baptism of Pieter, son of [Roelof's brother] Johannes Pieters and Annetie Aarianse.
2 - on October 6, 1700, Aeltje was baptized in the Brooklyn Reformed Dutch Church as the eldest known daughter of "Isaak Broekaar" and "Hilletje"' with [maternal grandfather] "Roelof Bas" and [paternal grandmother] "Catalijntje Broekkar" serving as witnesses.

March 14, 1757 important date but significance unknown at this time. I (Dale Updike) have placed it as her husband Isaac BROKAW's date of death, as it is before his will is proved.
She occupied a No 11 Juffrou's Pew in the Dutch Church at Newtown, but she died before Nov 8, 1754 as she was not mentioned in her husband's will.
