Notes for: Willempte Wyckoff

She was raised at her father's "Mountain Farm" 3 or 4 miles from
Whitehouse in Hunterdon Co., NJ. Willeptje kept a record of her
family. It was written in Dutch and about 7 pages long. These pages
have been pasted into a historical scrapbook prepared some years ago
for the Readington Reformed Dutch Church in NJ. It lists her four
children by Peter Cozine who were all baptized at the Conewago Colony,
and 6 children by Abraham Voorhees, her second husband, of Hunterdon
Co., NJ.

This is probably the Williampe Voorhees buried in the Whitehouse NJ
DAR cem. "d. 5.8.1829 in 77th year of her age." Tombstone records. DOD
2 May 1829 is from WFIA. Had a will probated in 1829.

From Somerset Co. Hist Soc Quarterly, "The Conewago Colony," her first
4 children were by Peter Cozine, the rest were by Abraham Voorhees.
Except for Abraham, all were born at Readington.

The following are records of Willempe Wickoff (1752-1829) and her
family by two marriages. She and first husband, Peter Cosine
(1744-1779), were members of the New Jersey Colony in what is now
Adams Co., PA, and several of their children were baptized at the
Conewago Dutch Church. After he died, Willempe apparently returned to
NJ. Her second husband, Abraham Voorhees (1753-1808) is described as
"of Lebanon, Hunterdon Co.," and some of their descendants were
residents of that state. (See Stapleton's 'Memorials of the Huguenots
in America,' p.131; Van Voorhees Family, pp. 493-7; also Wyckoff
Family in America, p.39).
