Born: c. 1640, probably in Amsterdam, Holland
Married: c. 1664 to Emmetje (a/k/a Amy) Jans (a/k/a Jansen)
Died:  late 1674 or early 1674/5 in Elizabethtown
Parents: Andries Jochemsen and Seletien (or Celitje) Fredericks
Children: Elias, bapt. Nov. 4, 1665; md. Mary Boeckhout; d. 1732-1733
Joshua, bapt. "Feb. 30", 1667; md. Engeltie Opdyck; d. 1730-1731
Enoch, b. c. 1668-9; md. Tryntje Opdyck; d. c. Oct. 2, 1741
Cornelius, bapt. Sept. 26, 1670; md. Annetje Opdyck; d. 1724
Andries, bapt. Dec. 21, 1672
Benjamin, bapt. Sept. 23, 1674
Notes: Brought to America as a child.  His children were baptized at the Dutch Church in New York City.  Gardner speculates that widow Emmetje (Amy) may have moved to Newtown, Long Island, where her sons resided.  Joachim's sister Francyntje's first husband was Abraham Lubbertsen, who was also an early Elizabethtown settler, although he did not stay long.

All of the above information is from Charles Carroll Gardner's thorough examination of the family appearing in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, beginning at Vol. 21, No. 1, p. 1 (dated 1946 but published in 1948) and continuing through Vol. 22, No. 4 (dated 1947 but published in 1950).

Lot Right: 1st
Assoc. List: Original
Clinker Lot: 141 (presumably allocated to Thomas Moore or successor in title due to sale mentioned by Hatfield)


     Hatfield:  "[W]as, probably, from New Haven, Ct., and a son of Wm. Andrews, who came, to New Haven, previous to 1643, with a family of eight persons.  [Note that this is disproved by Gardner.]  His house-lot contained 4 acres, and was bounded, N. and E., by a highway; S., by Matthias Hatfield; and, W., by Dennis White.  He had died, in 1675, and his widow, Amy, sold, June 22, 1675, to Thomas Moore, 'the house Orchard Garden Home Lott Pasture for Calves,' and all that might be claimed by the Concessions -- a first lot-right -- except 20 acres sold by her husband to Peter Moss [Morss, Morse], 'and one peare tree and some Gousberry bushes,' reserved for her own use.  [Citing Barber's His. Coll. of Ct., p. 160.  E. J. Records, I. 46, 7.  E. T. Bill, p. 108.]

     Will:  Dated October 15, 1674.  Proved March 11, 1674/5.  Leaves property to unnamed wife and children.  Witnesses were Humphrey Spening [Spinning] and Jan L-----? [Lubbertson?].
