Brechje (Grietje)
Terpenning was his wife. Born on February 2, 1735, she was the daughter of Theunis and
Margriet Grietjen (DeGraaf)
Terpenning. Theunis was the son of Baltus Terpenning, born in
Amsterdam, Holland. One source shows that she was
baptized on 2 February 1735 In New Paltz, Ulster County, New York.
Another lists the Baptismal Register of the Old Dutch Church of
Kingston: Ulster County, NY, 1775. Perhaps there was an Old Dutch
Church of Kingston in New Paltz. Barbara
Houtenbrink has provided the
title page of the reprint of the church records, the
original title page, and the
page on which Brechje's baptism is listed.
