GEERTJE CORNELIS from BEEST Corrected to VANDERHOEVEN
My 7th Great Grandmother and 6 children came from Van Beest,
Netherlands on this ship.
Their name was VANDERHOEVEN.
Geertje was a widow who came alone with 6 children.
It is a Dutch custom for widows to take the given name of their husband when
he passes. Why she added van Beest, I do not know. It is the country she lived in.
Here is the passenger list I have:
Hugh Barentsen de Clein, and Wife and seven children
Peter Marcelis van Beest, and Wife and four children and 2 servants
Aert Pietersen Buys van Beest, and Wife and son
Frans Jacobsen van Beest, and Wife and two children
Widow Geertje Cornelis van Beest, and six children
Widow Adriaentje Cornelis van Beest, and Daughter
