by Susan Brooke
June 2021
Catherine Margits was baptized 4 Feb 1625/26 at the New Church in
Amsterdam, daughter of Joseph and Anna Margits. (1) Her mother, Anna van Waerdenburch,
died when she was ten years old and her father remarried. Catherine
married Adrian Hegeman at Sloten, near Amsterdam, on 7 Mar 1649. (2) She
was twenty-four years old but the marriage register recorded her age as
twenty-one. Catherine and Adrian Hegeman had two children in Amsterdam and then
moved to the American Colonies. Altogether they had eight children within
a fourteen - sixteen year span. Her brother, Joseph Margits, died in East
India about 1633 and she inherited some money from his estate. (3)
Her
husband died 4 Apr 1672 when her youngest child was about nine years old. She
lived another eighteen years. When her grandson Adriaen Hegeman, son of Joseph
Hegeman, was baptized on 31 Oct 1680 she and her oldest son, Hendrikus
were the witnesses. (4) On 10 May 1685 she was one of the witnesses at the
baptism of her granddaughter Johanna, daughter of Elizabeth and her husband
Tobian van Eyck. (5) In April 1688, Catharina moved from Flatbush to New
York and joined the Reformed Dutch church there. She died in 1690 and her son
Joseph paid 20g. for a grave for his mother. (6) On 16 Apr 1690 her children
requested an appraisal of her lands. (7)
