Biography

Margriet was was baptized in Albany, New York, on 22 January 1696, recorded as a daughter of Jan Albertsz and Geesje Dirksz.^[1] Richard Schermerhorn and other researchers have identified her as the daughter of Jan Albertse Bratt (or Bradt). ^[2] This identification has been found to be erroneous, resulting from mistakenly treating Jan Albertsz and Jan Albertse Bratt as the same person. ^[3]

According to Richard Schermerhorn in Schermerhorn Genealogy and Family Chronicles, they were married on 25 February 1713 at the house of Jan Albertson (Albertse) at Coxsackie, New York.^[2] Records of the Albany Reformed Dutch Church record the marriage of Cornelis Scermerhoorn and Margritie Albertti on 6 February 1713, after three banns.^[4] The marriage registry of the New York Lutheran Church shows a date of 8 February 1713 for the marriage (or possibly marriage banns) of Cornelis Schermerhoorn and Margareta Jansen, "at Klinckenberg." ^[5][6][7]
