Niesie Huytes

Feb 2021

Niesie Huytes married Andries Andriessen on 17 Oct 1655 in the Dutch Reform Church of New Amsterdam.  The marriage records reads that she was from Coudun in Vrielant. (1) They had 7 children, but 4 of them  seem to have died very young.  When Andries died sometime around 1682 Niesie had three young children.  Maritie would have been about 18, Tietje about 13 and Huybert about 10. (2) We know Huybert was still alive in 1694 as he was a witness to the baptism of one of his sister's children that year. (4) Niesie remarried to John Vigne on 15 Feb 1682. (1)
John was also known as John Van Gee and owned considerable land in New York. He was also the first male European child born in New Netherlands. His first wife, Emmerentje Gosen Van Nieuwershluys had died around 1680.  She had been a widow with three children and he had three more children with Emmerntje, but only his son Gosen lived to adulthood, and there is no record of Gosen after 1673. (3) So, when he married Niesie with her three young children in 1682, he had no living children of his own.
He wrote his will on 2 Feb 1688/9 and died 21 Dec 1689, just 7 years after his marriage to Niesie.  In his will he named the heirs of his first wife's children, the heirs of his deceased sisters, his nephews etc., but he made no mention of his wife Niesie, or her three children. Niesie had been a witness to the baptisms of Andries and Maria Koning, children of her daughter Maritie.  She was also a witness at the baptism of Johannes Poel, oldest son to her daughter Tietie. However, John Vigne does not show up in any of the baptismal records for her children. (4)
Niesie wrote her will on 24 Jun 1716 naming the two sons of her daughter Tiente: Johannes Van Pelt who was to get 6 shillings and Johannes Poel who was to receive £100.  She left the rest of her estate to her grandson Johannes Poel and "her oldest daughter Maritie Koiningh," also naming them as executors. (6) There was no mention of her other daughter, Tietie, even though she didn't die until 1731.

(3) Wikitree on John Vigne

Jan (Johannes) Vigne was the first European male child born in New Netherland. His parents were Guillaume Vigne and Adrienne Cuvellier.

The Vigne family originated from Valenciennes, France. Three daughters, Christine, Maria and Rachel, were born prior to their journey to New Amsterdam. Christine and Maria, the oldest and second-oldest, were probably born about 1610 and 1613, respectively. The youngest of the three, Rachel, was baptized on March 16, 1623 at the Leiden Walloon Church. The Vignes sailed to America on the Nieu Nederlandt in April of 1624, and began their farm - one of the first six on Manhattan Island - by 1625.

The year 1624 (or 1625) witnessed the birth of Jan [Jean] Vigne, the first white male born in New Netherland.

Jan grew up on the Vigne farm, just north of what is now Wall Street. We know there was a precipitous falling-out among the family after his stepfather Jan Jansen Damen moved into the house. Damen evicted two of Jan's married sisters and their husbands in 1638, and a year later his presence or influence may have pushed the third sister into marrying the scoundrel Cornelis Van Tienhoven when she was just 16 years old.

He married Emmerentje Gosens van Nieuwersluys when he was 21. She was the widow of Lambert Wolf and already about 40 years old. Her children by Lambert were daughter Aeltgen (1627), daughter Gysbertgen (1628) and son Herman (1631). Jan moved into her home on Oude Gracht in the Jacobsbridge section of the city. There they had three more children: Johannes in 1646 (probably died in infancy), Johannes (2nd, 1647, also died young) and Gosen (1648).

On 19 January 1655 he bought 170 acres along the Hudson River, probably near Bergen. He sold this land on 25 March 1670. On 31 March 1668 he bought 30 acres on Hobookshe Creek, which was probably in the vicinity of Hoboken. He also owned a brewery or two - a very commonplace establishment in the hard-drinking colony - and owned substantial parcels of land on Manhattan through his inheritance.
