Notes for: Mary (Maria) Brewer
Mary is said to have had twelve children by her first husband, Garret Westervelt. The last was born in 1766. Sherron told me that Jan, Abraham, and possibly a widowed Mary went to the Conewago Colony in Pennsylvania. Mary may have later returned to Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey with on of her sons - but that is only a guess.
All the following info was sent to me by Sherron Westerfield (sherronw at searnet.com).
When Cornelius wrote his Will in 1786 he called his wife MARY. No
records have been found of when his wife ANTJE died (some researchers
say <1775). No record of his marriage to MARY have been found.
According to Rev. J. J. Demarest (1884), "His wife, Maria Brewer, was
the daughter of one of the colonists. She, upon his death went to
Haverstraw, NY where she married David S. Demarest of Hackensack, NJ."
Also, {Rev. Demarest} "In 1790 Mary Cosine, then became Mary Demarest
by a second marriage, appeared before Peter Harring, County Clerk of
Hackensack, NJ, and obtained the appointment of Jacob Brinkerhoff as
her attorney in the settlement of the estate of her first husband in
York County, Pa." I can find no record of her Demarest marriage in the
Demarest family genealogy, but perhaps a more thorough search of
records at Haverstraw or Hackensack will reveal something.
In the DRC Hackensack marriage records there is recorded the marriage
of Maritjen Brouwers to Pieter Herdewey, banns posted 19 Feb 1738.
Could that be this woman's first marriage? Anyone researching her
specifically may want to track this down.
Most of this information has been under my nose all this time. I
simply had not fit the pieces of the puzzle together. I had 2 women in
my records by the name of Maria/Mary Brouwer. But could not see their
relationship until I entered more Brouwer data into my computer
records. This is one time that going back a couple of generations even
though it is not my direct line has really paid off.
Among the children of Abraham Brouwer and Lea Demarest were Rachel,
who was the first wife of Hendrick "Henry" Banta; Daniel, Peter, and
Marytje "Maria."
(a) Henry Banta, his second wife, and many children, (b) Daniel and
his wife, Maritie Konig, and their 8 children with families, (c)
Peter, and his wife, and (d) Marytje "Maria's" two sons, Jan and
Abraham Westervelt, and perhaps a widowed Maria, all went to Conewego
Colony, and then moved on to Mercer Co., KY.
Daniel Brouwer's daughter, Marya, undoubtedly was the one who married
1st Cornelius Cosyn, Jr., 2nd Davidt Demaree, and 3rd Samuel Demaree
Jr.
(1) Marya and Cornelius, Jr. were married at Conewago, and they had
four children baptized there. When Cornelius Jr. died, Daniel Brewer
(her father) was appointed by the court to be guardian of the
children. After Daniel died, the husband of Marya's sister Susanna
(Samuel Demaree) and Marya's new husband and step-father to the four
children, Samuel Demaree, Jr. (the two Samuels were third cousins),
were appointed in Daniel's place.
(2) Evidently Marya returned to Bergen Co., NJ after Cornelius Jr.'s
death for there she married Davidt Demaree. Mrs. Dorr incorrectly
cites him as "David T." but in the Demarest genealogy he is actually
shown as being named "Davidt." Their marriage records refer to him as
a widower, and to her as "Mary Cozine, widow." For whatever tragic
reason, within a matter of weeks she was again a young widow. I have
yet to discover where Davidt died. Did he return to Conewago with her?
Did she bury him and return alone? And, did she return to Conewago or
go directly to Mercer Co., KY?
(3) Marya married Samuel Demaree Jr. five months after marrying his
half-brother Davidt (they had different mothers), but this time she
was in Mercer Co., KY. The marriage record says he married "the Widow
Cozine, whose maden name was Mary Brewer."
Mrs. Dorr also seems to have been in error about the birth date of
Marya. She says Marya was baptized 9 Sep 1762 in Somerset Co., NJ.
Yet, I found the record of a baptism on 24 Jun 1764 in the RDC at
Readington Twp, Somerset Co., for twins named Daniel and Marya, the
children of Daniel Brewer and Marya Konig. The logical conclusion is
that there was a first daughter, Marya, who died in infancy. However,
the second Marya then would have been only 12 years old when she
married the first time, shocking but not impossible on the frontier of
Pennsylvania. The Demarest genealogy incorrectly states that this
Marya was the second wife of Rev. Cosine, rather than first wife of
Cornelius, Jr.
So, who was the second wife of Rev. Cosine? The sister of Daniel
Brewer, Maritje "Maria" Brouwer (b.1721, more near Rev. Cosine in
age). Her first husband was Gerrit Westervelt, by whom she had 12
children, the last in 1766. I have not found the date or place of
Gerrit's death. However, their two oldest sons, Jan and Abraham, and
their wives, went to Conewego Colony, as did Maria's brother, Daniel
and all his large family, her brother Peter and his family, and her
brother-in-law, Henry Banta (husband of her deceased sister, Rachel),
and his large family. And, her Demarest cousins.
Let's assume she went to Conewago with her large contingent of family
and became Rev. Cosine's second wife. After his death, her son Jan and
family went to Kentucky with all the rest of her relatives who had
been at the Colony. But her son, Abraham and his family returned to
Hackensack. The Brouwers, Demarests (her mother's people) and
Westervelts had been among the founding families of Bergen County.
In 1884 a Rev. Demarest (see sources) wrote about the history of the
colony. About Rev. Cosine, he says "his wife, Maria Brewer, was a
daughter of one of the colonists. She upon his death went to
Haverstraw, NY where she married David S. Demarest of Hackensack." In
another place, Rev. Demarest says that the Cosine/Cozine family came
from "the West bank of the Hudson near Haverstraw." They may even have
known each other back in Haverstraw! I'd love to check some records
there just to see what would turn up. Rev. Demarest also wrote: "In
1790 Mary Cosine, then became Mary Demarest by a second marriage
[unaware of a prior Westervelt marriage], appeared before Peter
Harring, County Clerk of Hackensack, NJ and obtained the appointment
of Jacob Brinkerhoff as her attorney in the settlement of the estate
of her first husband in York County, Pa." I have not yet found a
record of her marriage to a Demarest.
In 1790 the younger often-widowed Maria Brouwer was back in Mercer
Co., KY having babies with her 3rd husband, Samuel Demaree, Jr.
Here is some inportant information regarding all this:

COZINE ADDENDUM
Domine Cozine's Widow Misidentified
-Affects Brouwer and Demarest Family Lines-
We have been writing our book, West of the Salt, for several years. However, we have
continued researching associated families. Recently we came across a problem in current
genealogies dealing with Domine Cornelius Cozine which we felt needs addressing. An error
as to the correct identity of his second wife also affects other families, such as the Demarests
and the Brouwer/Brewers.
Reference is made to the will of Domine Cornelius Cozine, Sr. (pages 49-51, West of
the Salt), dated 5 Aug 1786, also available online with Ken Heindl's post to the Dutch-
Colonies mail list of Aug 2000.
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Dutch-Colonies/2000-08/0966628298
We will focus on two details of this will:
• The identification of his second wife is simply "Mary," together with the
specifications of her inheritance.
• His direction to executors to provide an "outset" (usually monies and/or goods
upon marriage) to "Elizabeth Venordir." This individual is otherwise unidentified
and uncorrelated with Domine Cozine.
So there are these two uncertainties in Cozine's will that are also incorrectly presented in
existing genealogies.
With regard to Cozine's second wife, "Mary," the Rev. Demarest wrote in 1884:
"His [Dom. Cozine] wife, Maria Brewer was the daughter of one of the colonists
She upon his death went to Haverstraw, N.Y. where she married David S.
Demarest of Hackensack, N.J."
Rev. Demarest was notable for researching and writing a marvelous historical paper
detailing the Dutch colony that established what has come to be known as Conewago in York
(now Adams) County, PA. The colony was first populated in 1767 and mostly migrated
further west by the mid-1790s. Demarest wrote his paper in 1884 when "Conewago" and the
Dutch colonists were but a dim memory. Many subsequent genealogies have copied
Demarest and specified Mary to be a Brouwer or Brewer.
We recently became aware of documents, legal court evidence that disputes and
obsoletes Demarest's identification of Mary (Maria) Brewer as Cozine's second wife and
identifies the family of the recipient of the "outset" Elizabeth Venordir ! It is as follows:
Dauphin Co., PA Deed Book H, Vol. 2, page 430
John Yurry and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Mary, wife of Rev. Co. Cozine,
dec'd" of the town of Haverstraw in the County of Orange, N.Y. appoints Joseph
Brinkerhoff of York Co., PA their attorney to receive whatever due them from
[Cozine's] estate.
Dauphin Co., PA Deed Book H, Vol. 2, page 429
Mary Cozine, widow of Cornelious Cozine married David Demerest, Bergen Co,
Oct 4, 1790, came before the court and said she appointed Jacob Vanorden--no
more David Van Orden of Orange Co NY her attorney in the estate of the said
Cornelious Cozine dec 'd, David Beatty. EX. On August 1, 1787, she while a
widow, empowered David Van Orden her Ex.
The significance of these Dauphin Co., PA records cannot be overstated. They reveal
that Mary, second wife of Cornelius Cozine, Sr. was widow Mary Van Orden, prior to her
marriage to Cozine. She was not Mary Brewer, since her daughter Elizabeth was a Van Orden.
They also reveal that "Elizabeth Venordir" (recipient of an outset in Cozine's will) was in fact,
the daughter of Mary Van Orden, Cozine's second wife. Elizabeth was a teenager (born
1769) living in the home of her stepfather Cornelius Cozine and her mother, Mary. So...
• Elizabeth was genealogically a Van Orden and
• Elizabeth was a daughter of Mary and a prior Van Orden husband...
• Hence, Mary was a Van Orden widow (not Brewer nor even a Westerfield widow)
But, what was the maiden name of the widow Mary Van Orden? Armed with the above data,
it didn't take long to locate the following marriage record that identifies her as Mary Koning
(not Mary Brewer), along with baptismal records of their children, including Elizabeth in 1769
(recipient of an outset in Dom. Cozine's will).
Marriage Record:
Records of the Reformed Dutch Churches of Hackensack & Schraalenburgh, NJ,
(Holland Society of New York 1891), Part 2, pg. 50,
[1760] 31 May Stephen Van Orden, y.m.; Mary Koning, y.d.
Baptismal Record:
Schraalenburg DRC, Bergen Co., NJ - 29 Jan 1769;
Elizabeth; Stephen Van Orden and Mary Koning;
wit: Johannes Westervelt. Magdalene Christi
The Van Orden attorneys, David and Jacob, appointed by Mary (Koning) Van Orden Cozine
Demarest to represent her inheritance from Domine Cozine's estate, were brothers of her
first husband, Stephen Van Orden, deceased.
To summarize, Mary (Koning) Van Orden was the second wife of Domine Cornelius
Cozine; and her 5th child by her first husband Stephen Van Orden was Elizabeth Van Orden
(baptized 08 Jan 1769, died 13 Sep 1856). Unfortunately, Rev. J.K. Demarest, in writing his
paper about Conewago, apparently failed to consider the fact that Domine Cozine had a son,
Cornelius Cozine Jr., and that son had married a Mary Brewer (baptized 22 Apr 1755, died
after 1796). Also Cornelius Jr and his wife, Mary Brewer, a much younger couple, had four
children born, all baptized in Conewago. However, Rev. Demarest was correct in stating that
the Domine's widow, Mary, married David Demarest and moved to New Jersey (but she was
not Mary Brewer). We do not wish to convey any real criticism of Rev. Demarest, because he
contributed so much fine historical work in the area of the early Dutch settlers of Conewago.
Our research has failed to identify the parents of Mary Koning. However, Frank Van
Orden's genealogy research may already have answered this question. He identifies her
parents and siblings, as well as the children she had by her husband, Stephen Van Orden.
Frank Van Orden indicates that Mary was the daughter of Arie Koning and his wife,
Elizabeth [Conraed] Hartje, married in 1719 in Rockland Co., NY. He lists 8 known children
born between 1720-1738: Jacob, Conrad, Pieter, Margrithje, Leuntje, Elizabeth, Marya (b.
1736, Tappan) and Antje. Marya, born in 1736 looks like a very good "fit". Based on her
1760 first marriage to Stephen Van Orden as a "young woman", we estimated that her birth
was no later than 1742. Frank's web site does not include sources, so we will leave
documentation to prove or disprove this lineage to others. His work can be seen here:

The Marriage of Stephen Van Orden and Mary Koning
Stephen Van Orden (1735-1771) and Mary Koning were married 31 May 1760 at
Schraalenburgh Dutch Reformed Church in Bergen Co., NJ. He died before 18 Aug 1771
when their youngest child, Marytje was baptized at Schraalenburg DRC with the notation as
to parents: "Marytje Van Orden, widow of Stephen Van Orden." Stephen and Mary (Koning)
Van Orden had the following children: Andries, Rachel, Peter S., Jan S., Elizabeth,* and
Marytje.
* This Elizabeth (5th child, above) was the Elizabeth living in the Cozine household with the
Domine and her mother, Mary, at the time of the Domine's death. These children and their father
are discussed further below in Ancillary Data.
The Marriage of David Sam Demarest and Mary Koning
Four years after the death of Domine Cornelius Cozine, Sr., his widow, Mary (Koning)
Van Orden Cozine married her 3rd husband, David Sam Demarest on 04 Oct 1790.
Schraalenburgh DRC records show that David and Mary witnessed the baptism of their
mutual grand-daughter, Margrietje Demarest on 14 Nov. 1790, witnesses: David Sam
Demarest and Maria Koning, his wife. They again witnessed the baptism of a mutual
grandson, David on 25 Jan 1796. The parents of both children were David D.6 Demarest
(son of David Sam5 Demarest) and Marytje Van Orden (daughter of Maria Koning)!
In addition, on 08 Mar 1795, Mary Koning and her 3rd husband David Demarest
witnessed the baptism of Maria Van Orden at Tappan DRC, parents: Peter S. Van Orden and
Margrietje Haring, witnesses were David Sam Demarest, Maria Demarest [nee Koning,
paternal grandmother and namesake].
Ancillary Data
The Facts about Mary5 Brewer (Daniel4, Abraham3 Brouwer, Peter ADAMSE2, Adam PIETERSE1)
and her husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr.
Mary5 Brewer/Brouwer and her husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. baptized four children at
Conewago DRC between 1776 and 1783: Antie, Daniel, Sarah and Cornelius III. They are
listed in the 1783 Tax List of Straban, York Co., PA. This family migrated to Mercer Co., KY
between 1783 and 1786. There they purchased a farm, as previously indicated in West of
the Salt, Cozine Section, pp. 45-64. Unfortunately, Cornelius Jr. died between February and
May 1787, leaving his wife Mary (Brewer) and 4 children, all of whom were named in his will
(recorded in Mercer Co., KY Will Book 1, p. 12), as well as, Mercer Co., KY Guardian bonds for
several years. These 4 were the grandchildren of Dom. Cornelius Cozine Sr., who had died
one year earlier in August of 1786.
About nine months later, on 10 Jan 1788, Mary Brewer Cozine married (2nd, not 3rd)
Samuel Demaree Jr. (son of Samuel Demaree and Leah Demarest) in Mercer Co., KY; and
they relocated to Shelby Co., KY. before 1790 when tragedy struck. Young Daniel was killed
and his sister, Sarah, was kidnapped by Indians. Mary Brewer did not travel back to New
Jersey, marry David Sam Demarest there, bury him, then scurry back to Kentucky in time to
marry Sam Demaree, Jr in January 1788! In addition, Mary had four young children by her
late husband, Cornelius Cozine, Jr. that have to be accounted for. Furthermore, as noted
above, David Sam Demarest, of New Jersey, was still alive in 1796, welcoming his
grandchildren into the world. Unfortunately, more than a few current genealogies continue
this impossible fiction as fact. Hopefully this paper will help correct these misconceptions.
Stephen5 Van Orden (John4, Andriese3, Jan2, Pieter1)
Mary Koning's first husband, Stephen5 Van Orden, was born 02 May 1735 in
Hackensack, Bergen Co., NJ. His parents were John4 [Andriese] Van Orden and Rachel [Wouter]
Van Schyven. He was baptized 22 June 1735 at Schraalenburg DRC, Bergen Co., NJ,
witnesses were Stephen Terhune & his wife, Lydia [Demarest]. His siblings were: Andries,
Wouter, David, Leah, Rachel, and Jacobus.
As noted previously, Stephen married Marytje Koning 31 May 1760; both listed as
young and single. He and Mary had 6 children, the 5 youngest were baptized at
Schraalenburg DRC:
i. Andries6 Van Orden, b. c 1760; d. Aft. 1801.
ii. Rachel Van Orden, b. 13 May 1761 d. 05 Jan 1830, Mercer Co., KY.
Iii. Peter S. Van Orden, b. 14 Aug 1763 d. 09 Nov 1846, Rockland Co., NY.
Iv. Jan S. Van Orden, b. 08 Jul 1766 d. 21 Apr 1837, Rockland Co., NY.
v. Elizabeth Van Orden, b. 08 Jan 1769 d. 13 Sep 1856. Rockland Co., NY.

Clarification of the 3rd marriage of Maria (Koning) Van Orden Cozine Demarest
This might qualify for Ripley's Believe It or Not....

Van Orden marry men with the same bloomin' name...David Demarest! Thank Heaven for
