Because of multiple inquiries I will share the pertinent info I have which was provided to my mother by researcher she hired (researcher is unknown to me and the researcher failed to attribute sources of his info.)
Jacob Q. and Anna Elizabeth Brouwer (Bogardus) had the following children: Reynier b. Mar. 29, 1719 (died in infancy), Elizabeth, b. Jan. 25, 1721, Reynier b. Jan. 30, 1723 (died in infancy), Jacob b. Oct 28, 1724, Reynier b. May 3, 1727, Klaasje b. Apr. 20, 1729 (died in infancy), Marretje b.Oct. 1730, Johannes b. Sept. 4, 1732, Petrus (Peter) b. Nov. 6, 1734, Abraham b. Aug. 23, 1736, Claasje b. Oct 25, 1739, Wyntje b. Nov. 22, 1742.
The surviving Reynier from above married Catharine Waldron and had the following children: Anna Elizabeth b. Dec.1, 1750, Johannes b. May 11, 1752, Jacob b.Sept. 26, 1753, Abraham b. Sept 10, 1755, Margrietye b. Aug. 4, 1757, Reynier b. Sept 1, 1759, Wyntje b. Mar 4, 1761, Catrina b. Nov. 15, 1762, Pieter b. Sept. 20, 1764, Isaac b. Sept. 14, 1766, Jannetje b. July 31, 1768, Cornelius b. Mar. 12, 1771.
Information on the parent Reynier from the above paragraph: "...There was much dissention within the Dutch Reformed Churches in Pre-revolutionary America, and the Church at Tappan was one where the schism between the conservative forces, favouring [sic] control and the training of clergy remain with the mother church in Amsterdam, Holland, and the liberal forces, favouring [sic] the right to train and ordain ministers in America, was paticularly full of rancour. In 1761, a number from the Tappan Church refused to pay the Dominie's salary and began attending other Dutch Reformed churches in the area where the Dominies were conservative. In the case of Reynier, note that daughter, Catrina, was batized at the Paramus Church in 1762, and sons, Pieter and Isaac, at the Schraalenburgh Church in 1764 and 1766. The Paramus Church was located in present Ridgewood and the Schrallenburgh Church in present Bergenfield, both in Bergen County, N. J. Seceeding members of the Tappan R!
eformed Church established their own "Schismatic" Church. This "Irregular" Church at Tappan, as it was called, remained until 1779, after the Revolution. Reynier and Catharine were listed as members in 1768, and their yougnest two daughters were baptized within this break-away church. Later, Reynier and Catharine moved to Hempstead, Rockland County, NY, and they were admitted to the Kakiat Dutch Reformed Church in West New Hempstead in 1790. Reynier was elected an Elder in this church in 1793. Many members of the conservative "Irregular" Church at Tappan were British supporters, or at least sympathizers. Reynier did sign a modified Haverstraw Patriot Association in 1775, but his son-in-law's father, Jan Post neglected or refused to do so. Frederick Post, who married (Reynier's) Anna Elizabeth, the eldest daughter, fought for the British in the King's Orange Rangers, and it is likely that this Post family was the first of Reynier's line to come to Canada. Johannes an!
d Jacob lost their lives while serving in the King's Orange Rangers.
Of the sons, only Abraham and Cornelius remained in New York, as Reynier, Peter and Issaac all followed the Post family to the Napanee area of Ontario. Of the daughters, Catrina remained in New York, but Jannetje, who had married John Snyder, followed her elder sister to Ontario. Margrietye may have died young or at least remained a spinster....the sons changed the spelling [of their names] to Quackenbush ..."
