  • Notes 
    • April 17, 1699, Rachel(widow of Arie) remarried "In the presence of Ariaan Roos, Geesje Pier, Maria Nucella (wife of Domine), and Mary Singer was Rachel Pier with her chemise over her clothes married to Allert Hendrickson Ploeg by me (Domine Nucella." The significance of her chemise is that she brought none of her first husband's debts to her second. She called widow of Arie Franssen, born Amsterdam, Resident Kingston. She was a witness in 1712, a sponsor at bith of Neeltje, illegitimate daughter of Willamtje in 1716, and a sponsor in 1723. Her name appears in various forms; Rachel Jansen Pyer, Rachel Janse Pier, Ragel Jans, Rachel Jans, Rachel Jansen Pier and Rachel Pier.

      Bill Tufts information: Rachel Janse Pier, m2 17 Apr., 1699, "Albert Ploeg"(source not given; marriage date is correc t. Arie's death date not verified). Marriage #143, Kingston, NY -17 April, 1699, Allbert Hendrickson Ploeg, j.m., b. & res. Kin gstown (sic) and Rachel Pier, widow of Arie Franssen, born in Amsterdam, and res. here (Kings ton). On margin of this entry is: "In the prescence of Ariaan Roos, Geije Pier, Maria Nucil la, and Mary Singer, was Rachel Pier, with her chemise over her clothes, married to Albut Hen drickse Ploeg by me (Dominie) Nucella". "This curious custom occasionally practiced in Great Britain and America, was based upon a n erroneous belief that a widow, when married in this manner, relieved her new husband from a ll responsibility for debts contracted by the first husband".
