3897Trÿntje's baptism record.1

On 7 June 1696, she married 3896Jasper Hood, presumably in Manhattan, New York City, since their marriage is documented among the records of the Collegiate Church there.2 (The marriage record shows her name as "Cathrina Andries," but this is merely an alias of Trÿntje Lúÿkas. See the explanation in the problem section further down this page.)

3897Cathrina's and 3896Jasper Hood's marriage record.2

Ten months later, they baptized their first child, Jan, who was followed by other children in the years thereafter.

Dellmann O. Hood's book The Tunis Hood Family on page 10 describes how the witnesses of the abovenoted baptisms are related to 3897Trÿnjte, although I haven't bothered to confirm his information for myself.

Problem: Resolved The name "Cathrina Andries" versus "Trÿnjte Lúÿkas" 3896Jasper Hood married "Cathrina Andries" in June 1696,1 yet just ten months later he and "Trÿntje Lúÿkas" baptized their son Jan.2 At first glance, one might think that "Cathrina" and "Trÿntje" are different women altogether, even though it's very unlikely that 3896Jasper would've fathered a son with a different woman (i.e., Trÿntje) mere weeks after marrying Cathrina. A closer examination, however, indicates that "Cathrina Andries" and "Trÿnjte Lúÿkas" are in fact the same woman: First, the name Trintje is a common Dutch nickname for women named Catherine. Second, we can surmise that Cathrina's/Trÿntje's name is based on the old Dutch patronymic naming system that was common among Dutch inhabitants of New York around this time. Arthur Kelly's book Names, Names, and More Names: Locating Your Dutch Ancestors in Colonial America explains on page 10: During the period of Dutch settlement, encompassing most of the seventeenth century, patronymics were commonly used. Many of the early Dutch Settlers arrived in New Amsterdam without an established surname. Individuals were identified by adding their father's name to their given name with an attached suffix to indicate child of such as "-s", "-se", "-zen", etc. For example, an individual named Jacob might be further identified as the son of Jan by calling him Jacob Jans or Jansen. Since 3897Trÿnjte's father's name was 15588Lucas Andrieszen, one would anticipate her surname to be Lucassen. However, it's not inconceivable that a woman could use her father's patronym as her own, hence Andries.
