Research Notes
Confusion About Identity of His Wife
There has been some confusion or uncertainty about which of multiple girls (first cousins) named Aagjen Freer was his wife. Morrison's 1903 article on "The Freer Family" identified Aagjen, the daughter of Abraham Freer and Jennetje de Graef who was baptized in 1721, as having married Isaac De Joo and Aagjen, the daughter of Hugo Freer and Marytjen de Witt who was baptized in 1725, as having married Isaac Deyon. He assigned three children to one wife and five children to the other.[22] Ruth Heidgerd, in her 1968 book on The Freer Family identified Isaac's wife as the daughter of Abraham Freer and Jannetje de Graaf who was baptized in 1721.[23] A third Aagjen, daughter of Salomon Freer and Claartjen Westvaal, was baptized in 1722 and therefore also could have married in 1744. Morrison suggested that it was possible that she was the girl who married Isaac De Joo, but stated that he had placed that Aagjen as the daughter of Abraham Freer.[24]

Meaning of the "bo. & liv." entry (below) is ambiguous.

(New Paltz was not in Dutchess County, so this cannot be interpreted as indicating that they lived in New Paltz, Dutchess County.)

Heidgerd identified her as Freer-19, but did not explain her reasoning.
Here is my analysis:
Geography: Birth place and residence place on marriage record are ambiguous. It is likely that Isaac and all three Aagjens were born in New Paltz, even if they were baptized in Kingston, so the birthplace is not a discriminator. They married in Dutchess County in 1744, so it is likely that both were living there by then. Abraam Freer and Jannetjen de Graaf are said to have moved to Rhinebeck (when?) in Dutchess County. Hugo Freer is said to have been received into the Rhinebeck church in 1742. The little information I have seen about Solomon Freer indicates that he was having children baptized in Kingston as late as 1743. There is evidence that Hugo was in Rhinebeck when Aagje married Isaac, but the lack of evidence related to the other two fathers does not rule them out.
Names of Children: Dutch naming customs indicate that Isaac and Aagje should have named their first two sons and first two daughters for their parents. Their recorded children are:
Isaac and Aagje appear to have honored the custom in the name of Henrick, but they were not consistent. Notably, there is no child named for Isaac's mother Margrietje. If Aagje is Freer-192, Maria and Hugo were named for her parents. If Aagje is Freer-19, Jannetje was named for her mother.
Witnesses at Children's Baptisms: Identities of witnesses often held identify family relationships:
I think the weight of the evidence (name of first child, name of subsequent child, and witnesses at baptisms) points to her being Aagje Freer-319, the daughter of Hugo Freer and Maria de Wit, baptized in 1725, but there may be other evidence I am not aware of. (This is not my family and I am not familiar with the literature and lore. I am only trying to help untangle a conflict.) Does anyone have other evidence or perspectives??
