I was wondering if there there is a William Dey Herbert Jr., or "the third", who would be the one born 1881, as Sarah Dey Herbert was born 1782, and would have been 99 years old when giving birth.
In regard to Trinity church, I offer the following, BUT emphasize that i DO NOT believe that you are related through the Dey line to Theunis Dey:I found the following in "Ryerson
Genealogy" by LBERT wINSLOW rYERSON at familytreemaker and thought I would
share with the group.
2. JORIS RYERSON (translated George Ryerson)2, (Martin1), the eldest son
of Marten and Annetje (Rapelje) Ryerson was bap. in Brooklyn on Sept. 19,
1666: d. 1749. The sponsors at his bap. were Michael Hanzen and Catalina
Jeronymus. He was evidently named in honor of his grandfather, Joris
Jansen de Rapelje. Up to the time of his marriage (about twenty-four
years of age), he resided in Breucklen (Brooklyn) at the Wallabout, no
doubt at the home of his father. He then removed to Manhattan Island,
now New York City, where he engaged in farming, first on a farm leased
from Trinity Church, then on the Dey farm, and where he resided for some
years, subsequently selling out in 1708 and removing to New Jersey, which
was then a wilderness. Here, in company with Capt. Arent Schuyler and
others, he purchased from the Indians 5500 acres in N. E. New Jersey,
upon
which land he settled. He married on June 26, 1690, Hannah (or Anneken)
(Schouten) Dey, widow of Teunis Dey, and daughter of Johannes Schouten.
She was born Mar. 17, 1666, and died May 17, 1743. Her first husband
whom she married on Feb. 4, 1685, died in 1688, leaving three small
children,
besides a five acre farm running from Broadway to the water's edge in
New York, which the present Dey St. divided in the middle. The three
small Dey children were reared by George (Joris) Ryerson with his own
family, and one of the daughters, Jane Dey, married a younger brother of
her step-father, namely Frans Ryerson. Her brother Derick (Richard).
Dey became the father of Col. Theunis Dey, who distinguished himself in
the Revolution as an officer in the Army and member of the Continental
Congress. Joris (George) Ryerson was a prominent man in the community
and as early as 1715 was one of "His Majesty's Judges" for Bergen County.
After the death of his first wife, Hannah (Dey n‚e Schouten) Ryerson, Joris
married in his old age, and his second wife was Hannah, or Susannah, widow of
Abraham King, of Second River. Her maiden name was Susannah De Forest. Many
old documents teeming with historic interest still exist concerning Mr.
Ryerson's activity in colonial times of which the author has copies, but are
too voluminous for other than mere mention in this genealogy.
