This is entrancing! I was typing away past my bedtime – First Generation is short – but a great summary. Second generation treats Maria (my ancestor) thoroughly! That is to come after this one. Hope you enjoy this summary of Philippe and his two wives.

First Generation

1. Philippe1 du Trieux, born about 1586; married first about 1615 or earlier Jacqueline Noiret; married second about 1621 Susanna du Chesne; emigrated to New Amsterdam probably in 1624 on the New Netherland; died between 1649 and 1653. Children; 9 (du Trieux, de Truy), 3 sons and 6 daughters.

By his first wife:

2. i. Philippe2, bap. at Amsterdam, Holland, Jan. 3, 1616. Probably died in infancy, as a second child of this name was bap. in 1619.
3. ii. Philippe2, bap. at Amsterdam, Holland, Feb. 10, 1619.
4. iii. Madeline2, bap. at Amsterdam, Holland, Feb. 9, 1620. Probably died in infancy.

By his second wife:

5. iv. Maria2 or Mary. Probably born in Holland. From the fact that her name appears first on both occasions when she and her sister Sara act as sponsors at Baptisms in the Dutch Church, New Amsterdam, on Dec. 2, 1645 and Feb. 2, 1649, it would seem that she was the older of the two sisters. It has been suggested that Maria was a sister of Philippe1 du Trieux, but as she began bearing children in 1640, and as she constantly appeared as sponsor at the baptisms of her nephew and nieces, this seems most improbable. [blogger’s note: She was indeed a daughter of Philippe, but of his first wife, bp. Amsterdam 05 Apr 1617 [1]]
6. v. Sara2. Born in New Netherlands.
7. vi. Susanna2. Born in New Netherlands.
