Maria Waldron

 

The marriage of Frederick Willense to a Maria Waldron is documented, although there appear to be more than one Maria Waldron. Her ancestry appears differently in different sources. Conversely, the Frederick Willense parentage of Sarah Willense/Williams seems to arise from there being few other possibilities. We have no documentation for this connection other than finding it in various family trees online, these showing no documentation. The research connecting Sarah Willense to later generations seems solid, but her connection to earlier generations is tenuous at present.

Received with his br. Joseph, and their w. to the fellowship of the chh. at New Amsterdam..." The main biography continues with the line of Resolved Waldron. Footnoted (Pg 554-556) is the biography of his brother Joseph Waldron: "Joseph Waldron, "living near the hoeck of Passenger Street" in Amsterdam on the eve of his second marriege, appeared before the orphan masters, May 12, 1649...and gave bond for maintenance of his two chn. by his late w. Aeltie Hendricks; ...one of these perhaps was left at Amsterdam with its gd-mo., Maria Goverts, since it is not named in our records here, ...and Waldron was wont to order part of his salary to be paid his said mo.; the last notice was on Aug. 30, 1661 being two months' wages, 48 florins. He was butler to the garrison, and had charge of the magazine of the company. Waldron d. in 1663. Just before his end, sending for a notary to draw up his will, he said "there would be nothing left - but if anything whould remain, it should not be touched, but go to pay the passage of his widow who intended to leave for Fatherland". ...It appear(s) that there were "six minor children, two of whom are by a former marriage", the orphan's court of New Amsterdam, Dec. 10 1663, at the desire of the wid. Annetie Daniels, appointed Resolved Waldron, "her husband's brother" and Hendrick Jansen vander Vin...as guardians of her surviving chn. It is uncertain whether she visited Holland, as she was m. here in 1668 to Harman Smeeman and again in 1682 to Coenraet Ten Eyck. Joseph Waldron's children known to us were Sarah, Daniel, Mary, Anna, Deborah and John. Deborah d. in inf., and John when not quite 8 yrs. old... Daniel Waldron, b. 1650 at Amsterdam, m. in 1673 Sarah Rutgers, dr. of Rutger Willemsen. He was a gun-stock maker, but while serving in the city guards against Leister, lost an eye and was otherwise badly hurt by the premature discharge of "a great gone" (sic), Mar. 19, 1691....Daniel Waldron and his son Joseph were admitted freemen Aug. 30, 1698, He had chn. Joseph b. 1674; Judith, b. 1675, m. Mr. Isaac Selover; Rutgers, b. 1677; Annetie b. 1681, m. Francis Buys and Isaac van Duersen; Sarah, b. 1683, m.

W1	Descendants of Maria Waldron by Stephen L. Flanagan posted Mar. 20, 2001 on GenForum, Genealogy.com (Covert Forum). Five generations including Rose Anne Covert, the great-grandmother of the author. Beyond implied family knowledge, no sources listed. (Author<parents<grandparents<Rose Ann Covert<Jacob Covert<Lucas Covert & Cornelia Van Zandt) Lists: Maria Waldron (1686-1766) born 1686 in New York City, died 176, married Frederick Williams. Their children: Sarah Williams born 10 April 1717, married Peter Praa Van Zandt (b. 29 May 1708). Sarah Williams & Peter Praa Van Zandt were parents of Cornelia Van Zandt. Cornelia's line of descent is extended; however, no other children of Maria Waldron & Frederick Williams are listed. No other children of Sarah Williams & Peter Praa Van Zandt are listed. The bulk of information focuses on children and grandchildren of Cornelia Van Zandt & Lucas Covert, which apparently came from Rose Ann Covert; the source for the older generations is then in question, but possibly also from Rose Ann Covert.
