Timeline

• 24 Feb 1639 Quirjin Anthonis Quirijnssen, as guardian, and Cornelis Peeterssen Tack, as overseer, of the orphans of Peeter Peeterssen Tack, names Cornelis, Aert and peter, by his late wife of Maiijken Anthonis Quirijnsdr, make an agreement that the father will raise his children properly. When the children are of age they to are to receive from the father 20 rijnsgulden as part of their maternal inheritance.^[4][5]

• 15 May 1652 he entered into a contract with Adriaen van der Donck to work for him in New Netherland at a rate of 100 guilders annually.^[6] That same year he emigrated to New Netherland.^[7]

• 1653 - Aert immigrated to America and settled into the Dutch Colony known as New Amsterdam later known as New York. It would appear that Aert Pietersen Track was at Fort Orange on the 5th of August 1660. ^[8]

• 26 Nov 1659 Cornelis Peetersen Tack, d'Oude [the elder] acts as guardian for Aert Peeterszen Tack, the latter being 'uitlandich' (out of the country). The record describes the selling of a piece of land that was inherited from Stijntje Anthonis Quirijinsen, Aert's aunt.^[9]

• On 23 October 1660, Aert Pieterszen Tack, who was residing at Rensselaer wijck in New Netherland, assigned part of an inheritance due from his grandfather, Teunis Crijnen (or Crynen), to Jan Hendricksen (also spelled Henrix and Hendricxsz) van Bael in repayment of money he had received from Jan Henrix van Bael. He authorized Jan Henrix to collect the inheritance for him from his brother Cornelis Pietersz Tack, dwelling at Etten. ^[10][11]

• He married Annetje Adrians/Arians/Ariens/Adriansen/Adriaense^[12] (surname possibly DeCam or Krom or Gelijns) around 1653 or 1660, in Wiltwyck (now Kingston, New York) or Beverwyck (now Albany, New York), New Netherland. US & international records list her as Annetje Adriaense Cam ^[12]

• Their son Cornelis was baptized at the Kingston Dutch Church on 14 August 1661.^[13] A second child, daughter Grietjen (Margaret), was baptized in that same church in August 1663. Grietjen Tack is usually identified as the daughter of Aert Tack and Annetje Adrians, but the baptismal record names Grietje Vooght as the baby's mother.^[14] It has been suggested that Annetje was indeed the mother, but that a woman named Grietje (possibly Annetje's mother) acted as the baby's guardian in the absence of the father (who had gone to Holland); the Dutch word "voogd" means "guardian."^[15]

• Some time between about December 1662 and February 1663, Aert Tack deserted his wife. He returned to the Netherlands, where on 9 May 1663 he appeared before the Schepenen in Etten and discharged his uncle as keeper of an inheritance of 170 guilders from Heijltjen Peetersen Tack (probably his father's sister Helena).^[16] On 23 June 1663 he appeared again before the Schepenen in Etten and discharged his uncle Cornelis Peetersen Tack as his guardian for all affairs.^[17] Clarke speculated that Aert returned to the Netherlands to live with (or perhaps marry) Grietje Vooght.^[18] Annetje Adrians remained in New Netherland, where in August 1664 she successfully petitioned for dissolution of her marriage to Aert Petersen Tack. Her petition stated that Aert Pietersen Tack "of Haerlem" had married another woman in Holland.^[19] She married Jacob Jansen Van Etten at the Kingston Dutch Church in January 1665. The record of Annetje's second marriage describes her as "the deserted wife of Aaert Pietersen Tack."^[20] Some sources speculate that Aert Tack did not desert Annetje, but rather was slain in an Indian attack in 1663.

• Aert Tack apparently left Holland to return to New Netherland in 1664. His name (Aert Tack, from the Barony of Breda) appears on the ship list for De Trouw (the Faith), as of 20 January 1664.^[21] It is unclear where he settled after arriving in New Netherland. A public record from Etten on 4 February 1669 describes Aert Peeters Tak as being "uijtlandigh" (out of the country),^[22] indicating that he was thought to be alive and living some place other than Holland.

• Records of the Dutch Reformed Church in Kingston, New York, include the baptism on 20 April 1685 of Gerrit, a child of Frederic Gerritz and Lysbeth Tack.^[23] It has been suggested that Lysbeth was a third child of Aert Tack,^[24] but no confirmatory evidence is known.^[25]

• No record of Aert Tack's death is known, but a wide range of dates and places have been recorded by family history researchers. Reported dates and places for his death include 7 June 1663 in Kingston, Ulster, New York; August 1663;^[26] after 1688 in an unknown location; and 1705 in Kingston, Ulster, New York.

Research Notes

Disputed Wife - The August 1663 record of the Kingston, New York, baptism of Grietjen Tack, daughter of Aert Tack, names Grietje Vooght as the baby's mother.^[47] That record has led some family historians to infer that Aert Tack had a wife named Grietje Vooght in addition to his wife Annetje Adrians, who had earlier (in 1661) been recorded as the mother of their son Cornelis Tack.

There is, however, no other record of "Grietje Vooght." Also, Aert Tack's wife Annetje Adrians was very much alive and living in Kingston in 1663, while Aert Tack had left Kingston and gone to the Netherlands before baby Grietjen's birth. It has been suggested that Annetje was indeed the mother of Grietjen Tack, but that a woman named Grietje (possibly Annetje's mother) acted as the baby's guardian in the absence of the father; the Dutch word "voogd" means "guardian," so "Grietje Vooght" would mean "Grietje the guardian."^[48]

Annetje's Name - Annetje Adrianensen DeCam Gelvans - There's no source that she ever went by this name.

Misc. Notes

Aart Pietersen Tack in the year 1626 in Etten, Etten-Leur Municipality, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. His parents, Peter Peterszn Tack and Maria Anthonisdr Quirijnen had him baptized on the 26 July 1626 at the Roman Catholic Church in North Brabant, Netherlands. ^{[citation needed]}

On 15 May 1652 Aert Pietersz Tack was contracted by Adriaen van der Donck for Nieuw Nederland at 100 guilders per year. ^{[citation needed]}

"Appeared before me, Johannes Provoost, in the service of, etc., Madame Johanna Ebbinghs, wife of Jeronimus Ebbinghs, who declares in the presence of the afternamed witnesses, on the one side, that she has sold, and Aert Pieterse [Tack,] and Jan Willemsen, of the other side, that they have bought a piece of land lying in the Esopus in New Netherland, adjoining to the north and to the west the seller, to the south the thicket [kreupel bosch,] to the east the hill, comprising forty-eight morgens and seventy-two rods, for the sum of six hundred and fifty guilders to be paid in three installments; the first, on the first of June, A.D. 1661, two hundred guilders, in good whole beavers; the second, on the first of June, A.D. 1662, half in grain at market price, and the other half in beavers as before; and the third installment on the first of June, A.D. 1663, two hundred and fifty guilders in grain, whole beavers as specified above. p.277 Thus done and with the friendship and amity of all, contracted and agreed in the presence of Arent Van den Bergh and Gillis den Necker as witnesses hereto invited on this 5th of August, A.D. 1660, at Fort Orange.

Before 1661 he had married Annetje Adrianensen DeCam Gelvans ( See Annetje's Name )and had one child together Cornelis Tack, who was baptized on the 14 of August 1661 in the Old Kingston Dutch Reformed Church, in Kingston, Ultser County, New York.

This 1st marriage did not last long and Aert Pietersen Tack was found with another woman by the name of Greitjen Vought, who he had a daughter by the name of Grietjen Aertse Tack, who was Baptized on the 16 of August 1663 in the Old Kingston Dutch Reformed Church in Kingston, Ulster County, New York.

His First wife Anneken Adrijan on the 21 of August 1664 at Fort Amsterdam, New York Petitioned for a Divorce: Anneken Adrijan / Contra: Aert Pietersen Tack. It would appear from this Petition for Divorce that Aert Pietersn Tack took on another wife, while still married to Anneken Adrijan. Anneken was asking for a divorce, so she could remarry.

It is unknown exactly when Aert Pietersen Tack actually died, but we do know by the divorce case that he did not die during the Indian Massacre of 1664. But it appears that he abandoned his 1st wife Annetje leaving her with all his debts. He most likely went back to Holland to his other wife and died there. If Aert had died, what purpose would the Court have in ruling Annetje her freedom from the marriage, death would have done that. But instead the Courts charged Aert Pietersen Tack with Abandonment and Bigomy Charges and Annetje was now free to marry. Most likely Aert Pietersen Tack, went back to his 2nd wife in Holland to escape all his charges against him, for he is never seen again in the New Amsterdam/New York Record Books^[49]

One story about is death in the year 1664 may have had to do with an Indian massacre that may have left him captured or killed by the Indians. But that does not seem to hold up in court where his 1st wife is asking for divorce and the Court makes the decision that she has been deserted or abandoned by her husband. ^[50]
