I jumped when I saw that Jaquays. I have researched a Jaquis clan in upper NY state, Clinton County, and surrounds. Have seen references to birth places of Vermont, New Hampshire, and just to keep it interesting, France. Wahhooo! But, Benj died in Franklin County, New York, date ???, after 1860 census.
Oh, how I wish I could have helped on your Farmer line!
(Just saw your comment on Moore History - Deep in the Heart of Texas) - I need to do this. I have so many brick walls it's hard to pick the top 10, though.
Thank you Carol, Brenda and Greta for your comments. Carol, I appreciate your writing that, and I know you will remember that name now. Brenda, I know how much you tried, and I appreciate it deeply. Greta, I do have more than 10, so I guess we will forge ahead together, forever!
Your Gerritje Wyckoff seems to match a woman by that same name who lived exactly a century earlier. See for example: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=trees4u&id=I8965 This Gerritje Wyckhoff had the same named spouse, same named child who was born exactly 100 years earlier in the exact same location.
To me, that is very suspicious. Are you sure your information about Gerritje Wyckhoff is correct? What sources do you have for her?
Whatever her story is, the name Gerritje Wyckhoff is without a doubt Dutch in origin. Please contact me if you need help tracing your ancestors in the Netherlands!
Hi Yvette,
Thank you very much for commenting on this difficult Brick Wall of mine. I am the person who posted the RootsWeb information, you referenced above.
Sources: Somerset County Genealogical Quarterly, Vol. 2, No. 1 "Van Neste Family" (March 1983). "Van Neste Family." Pp. 113 & 341-343. Author not sure Gerritje's last name is Wyckoff, and if Marytje's is Bodine. AND, New York Genealogical & Biographical Record (NYG&BR). Vol. 131: 142. (April 2000). "The Rall / Roll Family: Descendants of Jan Mangelsen and His Wife Tryntje Van Woggelum" by Barbara A. Barth. Gerritje and John/Jan were married 4 years before she died.
Thank you for catching her death, yes, it should be 1725!!
Her husband, and his ancestors were mostly in New Jersey and New York. I've a lot of Wyckoffs in my tree (but not direct lines).
If you could solve my mystery, then I'd love to pay you the $100.
Happy New Year's to you.
Hi Barbara,
The son's birth date too, is off by 100 years in your post. I can't help you any further than that but I hope that having the correct information in your post will allow somebody who does to find the information and help you.
Yvette, I clearly had a problem with this line. However, my database and RootsWeb site are correct. Maybe I should "hire" you as a proof reader! Many thanks.
Barbara
Is is possible that Jaquays is a varient of Jaquith? There was a Jaquith family in Vermont (in or near Stowe). Agnes Town married Lester Jaquith. I used to correspond with Agnes, but I believe she passed away in Arizona some years ago. David
Anonymous, I wish their name was Jaquith, as there is a book and lots of sources for that surname. However, an early Rhode Island line clearly states Jaquays, as well as other records. I appreciate your suggestion, since every bit of input helps.
