David WILSON (WILLSON)⁽⁵⁸²⁾ was born in Ireland.⁽¹⁸⁰⁾ According to the Pike County History by Jess Thompson, the family was of Irish and French Huguenot ancestry who fled France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. Thompson says: "they, as did the early Lewises and Collards, found refuge in Ireland where the various families sojourned for a long period of time."

David, his wife, and at least one son (James) came to America in 1808.

He was married to Nancy ELDER before 1793 in Ireland. ⁽¹⁸⁰⁾ Note: There is a recorded marriage in South Carolina in 1812 between a David Wilson and Nancy Elder. This raises questions about the inference that David and Nancy were married in Ireland and about the mother of James and David Jr. There is no other evidence they were in NC so this could be a coincidence of two people with the same names.

Annetje WOERTMAN was christened on 15 Jun 1684 in Brooklyn, Kings, NY. ⁽²⁾ Married 27 April 1705 to Isaac DE RIEMER (born about 1680; son of Huybert
DE RIEMER and Catherine) and had children born in Brooklyn, New York:
Peter RIEMER chr 17 Feb. 1706, Isaac RIEMER chr 20 June 1708, Hubertus
RIEMER chr 13 Dec. 1710, Marritje RIEMER chr 27 Jan. 1714, Catherine

Oct. 1726.
Parents: Dirick Jans WOERTMAN and Marrietje Teunis DE NYSE.

Annetje WOERTMAN⁽²⁾ ANNETJE, known most commonly as Annetje Lodowycke, may have been a half-sister to Dirck and Elizabeth, inasmuch as Lodowycke de Jong appeared as sponsor to the baptism of Annetje's first child. Proponents of this theory point out that the mother of the family, Harmitie, widow of Jans, probably married Lodowycke de Jong in Holland and he probably sponsored the family, Elizabeth and Dirck, children of the first marriage, and Annetje, his own daughter, in the move to America. It is fairly certain that the mother came to America, but in all land transactions she is known merely as Harmitje Jans. with Ledowicke never appearing in the picture. She lived to a ripe old age and owned considerable property in Long Island and Brooklyn and died after 1685. This would make Annetje born probably in 1636, half sister to the other two children. At her marriage in 1655, she names herself as "Annetie Loderwycks Van Amsterdam" (Annetje Lederwycks of Amsterdam).

Annetje married 7 Aug. 1655 in New Amsterdam Dutch Church, SIMON CLAUSE (Claeszen Van (or of) Groeningen; his will, made 8 July 1684 and probated 7 Oct. 1684, indicated that Annetje had died before that time). They were residents of Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York. Parents: John William WORKMAN/WOERTMAN and Harmtje (Hannah).

Dirck WOERTMAN was christened on 26 Nov 1693 in Brooklyn, Kings, NY. ⁽²⁾ He died in Bushwick, NY. Married Elizabeth (born about 1696) and had children born in New Brunswick, New Jersey: Anna Marie Wortman born 3 Feb. 1723; Dirck Wortman born 28 March 1725; Jacobus Wortman born 21 April 1727; (Note the move for a time to New Jersey). Parents: Jan Derick WOERTMAN and Anna Maria ANDRIES.

Dirick Jans WOERTMAN was born about 1630 in Amsterdam, Holland. He died after 1706. Dirck Jans WOERTMAN (Richard, John's son, WORKMAN), immigrated to America in 1647 and was unmarried at that time (the date fixed when in 1687 he took the oath of allegiance at Brooklyn and stated that he had been in the country 40 years).

Although known during this period simply as Dirck (Derick) Jans, in 1680 he resumed the surname of Woertman and was known by it from then on. Just where he lived from 1647 to 1661 is not certain, but on 10 April 1661 he and his wife, Marrietje Teunis DE NYSE were admitted to the Brooklyn Dutch Church. Just when the couple was married is not known, but it was probably in 1660.

At this time and subsequently Dirck (Derick) owned property in Brooklyn and operated the Brooklyn Ferry. The sale of this property took place in 1687. Dirck was made a town officer in 1673 in Brooklyn.

Parents: John William WORKMAN/WOERTMAN and Harmtje (Hannah).

He was married to Annetje Auke VAN NUYS on 9 Apr 1691 in NY.⁽²⁾ The date is actually from a prenuptial agreement that Dirck, as widower of Maritje Teunis, made with Annetje Aukes (widow of Wynant Pieters, daughter of Auke Jans VAN NUYS who emigrated in 1661 and made his will in 1694 naming his daughter Annetje as the wife of Dirck Jansen WOERTMAN). There were no children of this marriage.

Elizabeth WOERTMAN⁽²⁾ was christened on 19 Sep 1699 in Somerville, NJ.⁽²⁾ Parents: Jan Derick WOERTMAN and Anna Maria ANDRIES.

Elizabeth Jans WOERTMAN⁽⁵⁸⁸⁾ ELIZABETH JANS (or Woertman, daughter of John) born about 1630. Her name is spelled variously in church records as Elizabeth, Lysbeth, Lysbet. Her first recorded appearance in America was 7 July 1647 when she married Pieter Jansen Noorman (born in Norway).

Elizabeth and Pieter were among the first settlers of the town of Bushwick, having purchased 130 acres of land in that area, located on the East River. Elizabeth was living on and acquired title to this property at the time of her husband's death. She and her second husband made a joint will in 1688 giving the property to Teunis Woertman (son of her brother Dirck Jansen Woertman) in whose family it remained until 1785 and became known as the Woertman House.

Elizabeth married a second time 6 Oct 1662 at New Amsterdam Dutch Church, Joost Jansen Cocquit (Cockuit or Kokhuyt; born at Brugge, Flanders, Belguim; recorded as emigrating from Wieringen 27 April 1660, as a soldier on the ship Otter). Elizabeth, as a widow, 10 March 1694/5 executed a codicil to the joint will, indicating that Joost died prior to that time. The will, proved 1 April 1695, made bequests to nephews and nieces indicating that Elizabeth died without issue.
