Hello Frans,

I have most of the children posted by Tom, and a couple of others that may
be questionable. I also have a possible second wife, but I have some
uncertainties about her. Was she the wife of THIS Willem BEEKMAN? Is the
marriage date correct, and therefore Willem divorced Catharine, or was
Elizabeth really the first wife? Here's what I have. Comments by all are
welcome.

Dear list,
Willem Beekman and Catharina de la Noij (bap. NY 27 Sep 1691, daughter of
Abraham de la Noij and Cornelia Toll) married, in NY, 11 Oct 1707.
Children bapt., in NY:
1. Maria; 13 Feb 1723.
2. William; 21 Apr 1725.
3. Elizabeth; 19 Apr 1727.
4. Abraham; 13 Aug 1729.
5. Jacobus; 8 Mar 1732.
6. Adrianus; 24 Jul 1734.

Has anyone any idea why there are no children between 1707-1723; did I miss
some; did they reside at another place; or have we to conclude that they
simply waited in getting children (quite modern I guess -:) ).
Thanks and regards,
Frans Gouverneur
