• Notes

  DATA BASE: Notes provided by Mrs. Margaret Caldwell, 6933 Calle Centuri, Tucson, AZ 85710. Aart Pietersen Tack b. ca. 1630 Holland-Came from Holland to Ft. Orange ca. 1659. His marriage to Annetie Arians (Adriansen) was bigamous. She had two children before it was discovered and their names are Cornelius Tack b. 14 Aug 1661-Kingston,NY, and Grietjen Tack, b. Aug 1663. In Anjou's Probate record it is stated that Aart Pietersen Tack married 2nd Grietjen Vooght and that she was the mother of Grietjen Tack, but the article in Ulster Genealogy cleared up that error. Aart Pietersen Tack had deserted Annetje and had committed bigamy by marrying another woman in Holland and so Annetie's mother, Geertjen Jans, presented Grietjen Tack for baptism. Grietjen Tack was named for her grandmother who served as guardian at baptism of her granddaughter. The word for guardian in Dutch is Voogo. The Dominie who recorded the baptism failed to indicate that "Grietjen Vooght" was really Grietjen (guardian) and not Aart Pietersen Tack, and he was summoned to appear for punishment for bigamy. "Chastised with rod and branded on his back," but it seems he couldn't be found. He had been deeply in debt. After he disappeared, creditors tried to collect from the bankrupt estate without much luck. One who tried to collect from the estate was Jacob Jansen Van Etten who was asking for his wages as farm hand on the estate which was being sold. On 3 April 1665(actually 11 Jan 1665), Jacob Jansen Van Etten married Annatie Adrians (Tack).
