- Femmetje Albertse husband, Hildebrand Pietersen, was born ca. 1613 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He married Femmetje ALBERTSE. Hildebrand died in 1639 in New Amsterdam, NY.
Femmetje Albertse was born ca. 1615 in Noord-Holland, Netherlands. Her father was Aldert Van NORDEN (1589 – 1650) and Geertuy DRIES. Several genealogies say Adert immigrated to New Netherlands, but I can find no evidence (Miner). After Hildebrand died, she married Hendrick Janse Westercamp (Westecamp) before 1641 in Kingston, NY. (This predates NARDC records)
She was probably the Femmetge Aelberts who married Michiel Anthonisz van Uytrecht in 1656. Through an unfortunate mistake, Michiel had been led to believe that his first wife in the Netherlands had died and subsequently married Femmetje, who was then living in Catskill. The first wife, still alive, then arrived in the New World. Femmitje stepped aside and was granted a divorce 4 July 1656. Femmetje died in 1667 in Kingston, NY.
The Westercamps were living at Beverwyck near Fort Orange (now Albany, New York) by the summer of 1652. Hendrick died between 1653, when he appeared as witness in a court case, and 1654, when Femmetje appears in court and is called a widow. One of his dying wishes was that his daughter (either Grietjen or another unknown daughter) be released from her indenture. In September of 1654, Femmetje was successful in fulfilling this wish.
