Willard,
I think I can help you out with some of your questions. The material I
will reference comes from articles from the journal Record, a
publication of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. In
the October 1913 volume there is an article on Warnaer Wessels and His
Descendants. To summarize, Warnaer emigrated from Holland with his
extended family in 1653. His sister Maria married Peter Alricks,
February 9, 1664. Their mother, Metje Boonen (Wessels) along with
numerous siblings and wives came at the same time. Maria & Peter
Alricks children were:

Peter Sigfridus, bap. Oct. 3, 1666; m. Maria Oblinus, b. 1668, dau. of
Joost Obinus and his wife Maria Sammis of Harlem (m. 1661), and widow
of Thomas Tourneur, whom she m. April 5, 1692.

Harmanus. (no data) [Maria had a brother named Hermanus]

Jacobus, bap. Sept. 10, 1671.

Wessels, m. probably Elizabeth, dau. of John Purdy, of All Hallows
Parish, Ann Arundel County, Maryland, who mentions his daughter
elizabeh Alridge in his wil, dated Oct. 21, 1701 (Maryland Wills,
vol.3, p. 233)

There is a second article in the Record dated July 1913 that is on the
Alrick descendants. I read through the article which is too detailed
to outline here. It begins to address some of your questions about
later descendants. The journal Record is on line and accessible to
members of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society. The
society has produced a CD that contains entries for all the sir names
appearing in the journal from its beginning in 1869 to the present. I
may be worth the expense of joining and purchasing the CD since Alricks
likely appear in other articles. To start, you might want to google
the article I referenced to see if it can be accessed for free at some
other site.

I would like to hear about your interest in the Alricks since Peter
Alrick married my distant aunt Maria.

Tom Wessells

Subject: [LDR] Peter Alrichs (c. 1637-1694) and his Wessel spouse (DE)


Peter Alrichs was born in Nykerck, Groningen, in the Netherlands, about
1637. Alrichs was the son of a Peter A1richs, and was the nephew of
Jacob Alrichs, Director of the Dutch colony on the Delaware. Peter
married Susanna Wessells in 1664; they had five children: Sigfridus,
Hermanus, Jacobus, Wessell, and Peter. (Bendlar, "Colonial Delaware
Assemblymen 1682-1776," 1989)Elsewhere, the wife of Peter Alrichs
(Allricks) is listed as Marie. (Hutton, "Seventeenth Century
Ancestors." 1987)My interests are in clarifying the name of the spouse
of Peter Alrichs, knowing the parents of the Wessel wife of Peter
Alrichs, as well as learning the names of descendants of Alrichs who
lived on Delmarva Peninsula in the colonial
period.***************************************QUESTIONS about POSTING
