Marie Du Cloux was supposedly baptized on 17 Nov 1576 but there is no online record corroborating this date.  When she married Jesse De Forest on 23 Sep 1601  her father was recorded as Nicaise du Cloux merchant of Sedan. She birthed 11 children between 1602 and 1620.  Her husband, Jesse De Forest, died in 1624 when her youngest child was 4 years old.  There is no further record on Maria.  Three of her children, Hendrick, Isaac and Rachel, sailed for the New World in 1736.  Her son Jean de Forest remained in the Netherlands.
