I will begin with two quotes:
Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University:
"Genealogy is the science of personal identification."

Justus Reiniger Moll,(1b-1c-1d)
"Remember, young man, we trace by place, and prove by date."

The purpose of this essay is to unveil a mysterious character, mentioned in original documents of New York Dutch Reformed Church Records (Albany) and by J.H. Innes, 1902 (5) Lambert Huybertsen Moll (1595 - 1679) a carpenter and a shipbuilder. Lambert was born in the province of Gelderland (Gelre) in The Netherlands, and he was one of the first Dutch Settlers in North America.

To do this many documents are consulted about Moll-genealogy. In this field, exhaustive documentation is collected by J.Anton Moll,1912 (The Netherlands), Dr.Willem H.Moll,1939 (1a) The Netherlands, and Justus Reiniger.Moll, 1931 (1b-1c-1d),United Stated of America, honory member of the "Vereeniging Families Mol(l)", the son of Alexander Henry Moll and Viola Belle Reiniger) (1), (2).
It is beyond doubt that Lambert´s parents lived and worked in a region of The Netherlands known as the province of Gelderland (or Gelre) and he was definitively not a Walloon as was sometimes mentioned. Both in The Netherlands, in Belgium as well as in Germany the surname Mol(l) frequently occurs and a nice and interesting website about the Moll´s from Gelderland is constructed by Hans Boldt: LINK : The Moll Family,Gelderland

Understanding the motivation of the Dutch to stretch ones wings towards continents far away from their little country it is important to outline the context of living in the 17th century (19),(26) ,(47),(49).
At the time of Lambert Huybertszen Moll and his family, the whole population in the Netherlands including a small part of Western Germany (-WestPhalen, Munster, Aken, Xanthen, Kleeve-) and the Flemings and Walloons in the southern provinces of what is now Belgium (the "Kempen" and "Brabant"), was less than 1 million people ! To day in the same geographic region about 25 million Dutch speaking people are living in this second-most-crowded-area of the world.
Since 1100 AD, families named as Mol, Moll, Moel or de Mol lived in the borderland of Belgium and The Netherlands, in a city called Mol (43) near Antwerp.
In course of the eigthy-years-war (1568-1648) and the onset of the Reformation many of these migrated first to the northern and eastern provinces of the Netherlands, they adopted the Dutch Reformed Church and after they moved towards the new colonies (Northern America, The East Indies).
It can not be proven that there is a familial connection between Lambert Huybertsen Moll and the Moll´s now living in The Netherlands, but the suggestion is made earlier (1939) by the Dutch historician Dr. Willem Hendrik Moll (l). The problem is : Both "Lambert" and the surname "Moll" or "Mol" (l) are very common names in the Netherlands and some crucial documents about the Moll´s in The Netherlands are lost for some reason or they can not be found. There are three questions that have to be solved about Lambert Huybersten Moll :

To answer these questions reliable sources about the early Dutch settlers are consulted: The New Netherland Project (36), New York State Library (27), the “Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie” (1,2,49) in the Netherlands, old archives from the "Gemeentelijk Archief van de stad Amsterdam" , the library of the Holland Museum in Michigan (7) and the Library of Congress in Washington (400 years of Dutch heritage). Additional information about immigrants and their relatives was found in the well documentated NYDRC “Baptism Records of New York Dutch Reformed Church,” (6) and other websites (48). Further, a lot of books dealing with the Dutch origin of people living in North America are consulted. Apart of the work of Innes (5), a lot of genealogical information is presented on The Internet. This information is published by relatives of Dutch Immigrants in the United States who have roots in The Netherlands, going far back to the first settlers in New Amsterdam in the XVIIth century. Many of these websites are focused on own roots, of course. There are numeruous of these sites and one can read scarcely but useful information about Lambert Huybertsen Moll and his descendants. It appeared that some data are ambiguous, contradictory or conflicting. On the other hand, statistically, a lot of information seems to fit or to match remarkably well. However, the fascination in genealogy is not reading your own name in a list of surnames, it is unravelling a historical puzzle.
In our view a complete genealogical study makes sense if it is combined with medical and or biological evidence about familial traits. Interpretation of genealogical infomation should be done very carefully and there are some threats. One has to face some difficulties as I will try to explain.

As time passes, many records or data appeared to be biased. It is difficult for human beings to give accurate and objective information, unintentionally. This has different reasons. In written documents especially important events are mentioned but sometimes documents are incomplete or inaccessible.
Other major points of bias or mis-interpretation are : lack of memory, prejudice, mis-spelling of (sur)names, unacquaintedness with an unknown (often rewrited and badly readible) written language, customs, the incompleteness of documents, lost of data due to carelessness, warfare, catastrophies, burnings, shipping-disasters and so on. Even if the proper person is alive, one never can completely rely on the information he or she has given about historical “facts”. Furthermore, it is hazardous to rely on (sur)names.

For example : what is the significance of a name like Tryntje Pieters (a common girls´name in Holland). Tryntje (or Trientje) most likely means Catharine, but what about:

"Pieters", “Pieters(z)(e)”, “Pieterse(n)”, “Peter(s)”, “Petterson”?.
Is it a surname ? A patronymic ?
Is Pieters the father, a grandfather or an uncle ?
Is the child adopted ?
Is the child illegitimated or born out of wedlock ?
Is the child an orphan ?

Although opinions about familial relations have been changed during the last decennia, nevertheless surnames are among the oldest “evidence” of family history that we have at our disposal. Passed on from generation to generation, they often reach back to times from which no documents have survived. It should therefore come as no surprise that interpreting them to gain information about one's origin almost always proves to be an exceedingly difficult task for a genealogist. There is no doubt that Immigrants in a new world stood under pressure to modify their name in new circumstances (hybridisation).Without correct additional information such as domicile, residence, birthdate, date of baptisizing, dead etc. a name like Tryntje Pieters is useless. Verification is the problem.

From a biological point of view claims about inheritance based upon genealogical studies that are concentrated on paternal lines only, are a little bit silly. Traits of sons and daughters can be predicted from sexlinked inheritance (link : http://bio.bd.psu.edu/biol033/Chapter06.html).
The human genome consists of 22 duplicated autosomal chromosomes, 2 sex chromosomes and a lot of extra-nuclear (or mitochondrial) DNA. The DNA-content between the sex chromosomes is different from each other: X-chromosomes consist far more DNA compared with Y-chromosomes. Only boys inherit their Y-chromosome from their father, but every child inherits an X-chromosome from the mother together with all the mitochondrial DNA.

An old saying predicts: A man never can be sure he is the biological father of his child.Indeed, biologically, the maternal line (from the mother) seems a more natural way to ascertain one´s origin. Genetically women have more ´credit´ in progeny-inheritance. But the situation is complex. From generation to generation much more genetical information is given to a child passed from the mother (extra-nuclear or mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA-chromosome) than from the father.

So, maternal inheritance is when all of the mitochondrial DNA in the cell is from the mother. The theory of maternal inheritance states that all the Mitochondria (mtDNA) in you are descended from the small population that traveled from your mother in her egg (and so for several hundred-thousends of years). The theory predicts that Sperms may be too small to contain mitochondria, so mitochondria travel exclusively down the female line, and male bodies are dead ends as far as mitochondrial reproduction is concerned. Incidentally, this means that we can use mitochondrial to trace our ancestry strictly down female or maternal lines. Unfortunately, there are some problems with this theory (21).

Nevertheless, there is a break-through among genealogists that with respect to inheritance, the maternal line is at least as important as the paternal line. A number of specific disorders have been described where mitochondrial mutations (from the mother) are either inherited or occur early enough in development to dominate most cells. These disorders characteristically affect muscle and nervous tissue, particularly the optic tracks. Among these conditions are Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathv (LHON), which usually presents with onset of symptoms after puberty; Kearns-Sayre syndrome and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), which both result in paralysis of external, but not internal, eye muscles; myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF), which presents at various ages; and mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis with stroke-like episodes (MELAS), which evolves during infancy.
Unfortunateley death causes are not (yet) frequently mentioned in genealogical records.
In our view this is a serious shortcoming.Disorders and death causes should be part of the specification of genealogical records in future. It is desirable that this is confirmed by official medical papers but not obligatory. None of the above disorders have been published (as far as we know) in records of Lambert Huybertsen Moll´s relatives, so their medical conditions never will be unveiled. (If you love it: Properties of human (sex-) chromosomes and related disorders are presented in : The Virtual Library on Genetics, link: http://www.ornl.gov/hgmis/vltoc.html)

Only boys receive the Y-chromosome from their father. Theoretically this Y-chromosome (14) and especially its SRY compartment (see above) , assuming that “jumping genes" (13), crossovers or allel-mutations are not involved, can give a decisive answer for a paternal line :

Molecular research was unthinkable until recently and with respect to genealogy the genetical techniques are difficult. If sexlinked diseases (on the X-chromosomes) are involved in a family (hemophilia, colorblindness) techniques are developed to match DNA (or the genome) with geneaological data to establish familial connectivity. This cutting edge of scientific technology is not yet accepted as a valid method, but recently a geneaology construction in a historical isolated population was stated in Pima Indians with respect to rheumatoid arthritis.
Records in hospitals could give decisive answers if combined with geographical, epidemiological and or hereditary characteristics and emphasize their importance for genealogical use.
DNA research (genetic mapping and matching) is the solution.

(3) Historical Context:

New Netherland was a place where people from all over Europe came to make a new life. As much as half of the population of Dutch colony (present-day New York and New Jersey) came from the United Provinces of the Netherlands. But along with them arrived other European immigrants. The Netherlands was a haven for those seeking religious freedom and safety from decades of political violence.(52)
Indeed, Lambert Huybertsen Moll´s parents lived in turbulent times. During the XVIth and XVIIth century (the onset of the Renaissance) and the eighty years´ war, the lower countries (today Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourgh) fought against Spain, tiran Phillips II and the Duke of Alva (Blok, 1892; Groen van Prinsterer, 1852). After the outbrake of this war many wealthy peoply from Antwerp (among them rich Jews and a merchant Usselinx, a Flemish) migrate to trade-cities in Zeeland and Holland: Hoorn, Middelburg, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

Many people in the Dutch province Zeeland want an aggressive revenge against the Spanish. However, as usual in Holland, trade- and money making has priority. During and after their struggle for independancy (1568- 1648, peace of Westphalen and Munster) the Netherlands (in particular Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hoorn and Middelburg) became a wealthy and prosperous region. They need room for their worldtrade. Further, the “Regenten (Rulers)” of the “Dutch East India Compagny,VOC” (founded 1602) (8) thought that cutting of the trade-routes of Spain in the Atlantic could be in favour of their chances in the eighty years war. In december 1608, the english sailor Henry Hudson (38) contacts famous Dutchmen like Plancius and Hondius and the VOC to seek a trade-route to China via the North. On 1609, april 6th Hudson took the open sea (33) from the isle of Texel (main seaport of Holland and Amsterdam at that time) with the sailboat the “Halve Maen” (9,25) under Dutch command. However, off Norway, the crew forced Hudson to sail to the West. So, via the Faroer they reached North America, Albany and a river. According to the Dutch crew, this river (the Hudson) looks very similar to their “own river Rhine” and they love the pure landscape. They did some exchange trade with local indians (Beaver-, Bear- and Otter- furs) and went home. During a second Dutch enterprise to North America(1610-1611) Hudson was thrown over in a sloop or dinghy and nobody has heard of him since.

The Dutch were interested in establishing trading posts in the Hudson River area.Adriaen Block was hired to investigate and trade for furs (with the Mohawks indians). In 1613 he and another Dutch fur trader were on their way back to Holland with a cargo of furs when Block's ship, the Tiger caught fire and was destroyed at the mouth of the Hudson River. The two captains and their crews constructed huts in which to overwinter on Manhattan Island while they built a new ship for Block, a 45 foot, 16-ton vessel, the Onrust (the Restless) (53). The remains of Adrian Block's ship, the Tiger,have been found in 1916, working on a new subway line in Lower Manhattan, near the place where the World Trade Center was build in 1960. The trial voyage of this new ship was in the spring of 1614 when Block sailed through the East River and the whirlpools he so aptly named Hellegat (Hell Gate) and into Long Island Sound. It is here, in Long Island Sound, that the only reminder of this explorer remains -- Block Island. Adriaen Block sailed up the Connecticut River in 1614. Block claimed Connecticut in the name of the Dutch. In the course of this voyage, Block became the first recorded European to explore the Connecticut River, sailing 60 miles up the river, past present day Hartford, probably as far as the rapids at Enfield.

According to Howe (1969) , Block wrote, "Next, on the same south coast, succeeds a river named by our countrymen Fresh River, which is shallow at its mouth ... . In some places it is very shallow, so that at about fifteen leagues [between 30-60 miles] up the river there is not much more than five feet of water. There are few inhabitants near the mouth of the river, but at the distance of fifteen leagues above they become more numerous ... . The depth of water varies from eight to twelve feet, is sometimes four and five fathoms [24-30 feet], but mostly eight and nine feet. The natives there [South Windsor] plant maize, and in the year 1614 they had a village resembling a fort for protection against the attacks of their enemies. ... The river is not navigable with yachts for more than two leagues farther, as it is very shallow and has a rocky bottom. ... This river has always a downward current so that no assistance is derived from it in going up, but a favorable wind is necessary." (pp 221-22).

Block sailed up the Connecticut River in the Spring. Was he fighting against the Spring freshet? Captain Block returned to Holland with the good news that fur trading was a very real possibility. Over the next few years, trading between the Dutch and the Indians was established. In 1624 the Dutch built a settlement in Nieuw Amsterdam (New Amsterdam, New York) and a trading post on the Connecticut River, calling it Kievits Hoek (soon to be abandoned).

Note !: Nieuw-Amsterdam was first called Novi Belgii and founded in 1624 by Belgian people.
Many Dutch people migrated there and the name was changed into Nieuw-Amsterdam (so say the Belgians!!- but in that period -until 1830-, they still were part of the Netherlands). Later the English conquered Nieuw-Amsterdam and changed the name into New York.

By 1633 the Dutch had acquired land from the Indians in present day Hartford on which they built a fort and a trading post (the House of Hope).

Since 1611 Dutch rulers, in particular Prince Maurice (Mauritz) of Orange-Nassau and the flemish merchant Willem Usselincx made plans to colonize parts of North America, and tried to establish a trade-company (West India Company, WIC ). This interferes with the policy of the Dutch counsellor Johan van Oldenbarneveldt (18). Van Oldenbarneveldt was no supporter of the WIC: "A waste of money, exploitation of slavery and a risky act without vision."

As leader of the party favoring control of state affairs by the States-General,Oldenbarneveldt was increasingly opposed by the house of Orange. This conflict was aggravated by the fierce struggle of the Remonstrants and the strict Calvinists; in this quarrel, Oldenbarneveldt (together with Barleaus, Coornhert and Hugo Grotius) and Maurice of Nassau found themselves in opposing camps. In 1618, Maurice, determined to crush the Remonstrants (the Arminians) , convoked the Synod of Dort (Dordrecht) , which condemned their doctrine. From that time on the doctine of Calvinism, as established by the Synod of Dort for the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, was the national religion of both Holland, and New Netherland. Many prominent Remonstrants (1619) were persecuted, they preached their believes in secret, or tried to leave the country (26).

Could this be a reason for Lambert Huybertsen Moll to embark on a sailboat to the newly discovered land (24) or was he just an adventurous man ? Anyhow, Hugo Grotius was banished but escaped from "The Castle of Loevenstein" in a wooden bookchest, Oldenbarneveldt was arrested and, after a highly irregular trial for treason, he was sentenced to death. His execution was a judicial murder brought about by his personal enemies; no incriminating evidence has ever been found against Oldenbarneveldt, who was one of the ablest and most patriotic statesmen in the history of the Dutch. By no means an example of the socalled DUTCH TOLERANCE ! After the tragic death of van Oldenbarneveldt (beheaded 13 May 1619 and a dark page in Dutch History), the way was opened for the WIC (established in 1621). See also the following link:The United States of America and The Netherlands.

After unsuccessful efforts at colonization, the Dutch Parliament chartered the "West India Company," a national-joint stock company that would organize and oversee all Dutch ventures in the Western Hemisphere. Sponsored by the West India Company, 30 families arrived in North America in 1624, establishing a settlement on present-day Manhattan. Much like English colonists in Virginia, however, the Dutch settlers did not take much of an interest in agriculture, and focused on the more lucrative fur trade.

The Dutch settlement centered at the southern tip of Manhattan was established in 1624.In 1625 the first Dutch settlers sailed to North America under the WIC command (10)(34) and ca. 1630 about 500 Dutch colonists had settled in Nieuw Nederland according to the administration of Kilian van Rensselaer. May 4, 1626, Peter Minuit arrives in New Netherland aboard the See Meeuw to become the third director of the new land. Pieter Minnewit (Peter Minuit) is best known as the man who should have bought the island of Manhattan from the Indians for the legendary sum of 60 Dutch guilders, (or $24.00) as is mentioned in the Pieter Schagen document (28). Indeed Minuit bought the Island of Manhattan (used by Indians for hunting), and according to the Dutch Historician P.J.Blok (1892) this price was valuable for an Indian and equals :
10 Rifles, 10 pound of Gunpowder, 300 Bullets, 30 Axes, Clothes, and a Copper pot.

About 1629 Kiliaen van Rensselaer founded a Colony in Nieuw Netherland and rules for the new colonists were published in 1630. Since 1626 sailships (“De Eendracht” , “De gouden Bever” , “De Bontekoe” ) of the WIC sailed from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to North America, to and fro. They brought craftsmen, adventurers, immigrants and their families to the newly discovered land. Among them many Huguenots from France (Walloons) and the Southern Netherlands.The first “Settlers” lived in Albany, Delaware and the isle of Manhattan. It must have been hard times for those immigrants (19). No hospitals, no medication, lack of capable craftsmen, sometimes lack of food and fights with the local Indians (Fiske, 1899; Cecil Lynn, 1977). Was Lambert Huybertse Moll involved in these fights ? Sometimes, women sailed back to Amsterdam during their pregnancy and they were taken care in the “ Binnengasthuis ”, a hospital in Amsterdam (Dapper, 1663) , now a historical monument. Could it be possible that one of these women was a relative of Lambert Huybertsen Moll ?

In 1611 a group of merchants banded together and formed the New Netherland Company. The charter was granted to them by the States-General (there was no king) in 1614. Their charter expired in 1618, and was not renewed due to a new group of powerful men who demanded exclusive trading rights in the New Netherlands (New York). The controversy went on until 1621 when the “Privileged West India Co.” was clustered.On March 31, 1624 a ship carrying settlers left Holland. It was the "Nieuw Nederland" and aboard were thirty families who were going to cultivate the land overseas. A short time later Fort Orange was constructed opposite the old Fort Nassau (54). The land surrounding Fort Orange was later named Beverwyck. The West India Company was slow to bring in settlers, so on June 7, 1629 concession was given to the Patroons to create colonies in the New Netherlands. The Patroon named Kilian van Rensselaer obtained his rights on November 19, 1629, and established the colony Rensselaerwyck (meaning Rensselaer’s ward or district). This was the only Patroonship established in the “North River” area. His land began “above and below Fort Orange on both sides of the river with the islands therein.” Van Rensselaer did not have a uniform system of land measurement which led to a number of disputes. Van Rensselaer is buried in the Old Church at Amsterdam 7 october 1643 (see photograph below):

Among those involved in the disputes was Thomas Chambers who left Rensselaerwyck and started a new colony in Ulster County, called Esopus. Even after the Patroons were allowed to form their own colonies, colonization still went slow. The States-General was then forced to try alternate methods to incourage colonization of the New Netherlands. They proclaimed free trade and free land to private persons under some restrictions. To further incourage colonization, the first church in Albany was built in 1643.(35). This church was only 34 feet long by 19 feet wide. It housed only nine benches. This church served the Albany residents until 1656. After the English took over New Netherlands and renamed it New York in 1664, Albany became a city in 1686. It was one mile wide and thirteen miles long. Its borders stretched along the Hudson River. This transition must have been awkward for both the Dutch and the English settlers, because that year it was known by three names. The Dutch continued to call it Beverwyck while many of the English called it Williamstadt, a name the English briefly gave to Fort Orange within the borders of Beverwyck. The official name of the city was Albany, in honor of James II, the Duke of York. All land outside of Albany belonged to the colonies, especially Rensselaerwyck. Trade with the Indians was thought to be reserved strictly for the West India Company. Many of Albany’s residents were brought to court for seeking out Indians to trade beaver pelts with them. The attitudes regarding trade made the settlement of Schenectady difficult. Arent Van Curler (Curlaer) may not have been the first white man to visit the area now known as Schenectady, NY, but he was the first white man to apply for permission to settle on the Great Flat land tract west of Schenectady in 1661. The officials in the colonies and in Albany opposed the settlement of this area in order to control trade with the Indians there. They purposely delayed the process until after the English took control of New Netherlands in 1672 for a short moment and definitively in 1674.

The new Republic appeared to have become too powerful:
Period 1672-1674 was (after World War II) the heaviest period of disaster for the Dutch Republic "het ramp jaar". On april 6th 1672, half of Europa (France, Sweden, England and Germany) declared war on the Republic. The sea battle was won by the Dutch naval-hero Michiel de Ruyter. Amsterdam and colonial trade could continue until 1795. However the war on land was not successful in the beginning. The French (and their envious flaunting King Louis XIV) attack the Dutch Republic ("an act against the Law of Nations" according to Groen van Prinsterer,1852) with an army of about 146000 troups, unanimously followed with an equivalent number of troups by the English and the Germans.
(See also this website: Anglo-Dutch Wars.)

This resulted in a short period of decay in the Republic until peace was signed in 1674 with the English (peace of Munster and Keulen) and in 1678 with the French and Louis XIV (peace of Nijmegen). Prince William III of Orange married to Maria Stuart II, november 1677, London and he became King of England in 1689. During this period (until about 1735) the United Republic of Netherlands never has been more powerful and wealthy.
King William III (of Orange, in the Netherlands) and his wife, Queen Mary II, were installed as rulers of Britain in 1688. The "Glorious" or "Bloodless" Revolution had deposed King James II who had openly supported the Roman Catholic church, alienating most of the English population. Parliament then offered the crown to William and Mary under condition that the monarchs accept the new English Bill of Rights which included the requirement that all future monarchs be members of the Church of England. These events were major steps toward a constitutional monarchy and the ascendancy of Parliament in English government. In 1690, James II mustered an army in Ireland, but "King Billy" won the Battle, fought along the Boyne River, and James fled to France. "Orangemen" still celebrate the Battle of the Boyne, to the enduring embitterment of many Northern Irish Catholics.

Note:

The founder of Rensselaerswyck was Kiliaen van Rensselaer (Hasselt 1580-Amsterdam 1646), born at Zwartewaterstad (near the city of Zwolle) in The Netherlands, Overijssel. Rensselaer, buried in Amsterdam 7 october 1643 in the Old Church, was a rich merchant and a jeweller in Amsterdam and he never crossed the ocean. He financed the Rensselaerswyck (Patronaat). TOP

(4) Integrity:

Integrity in monitoring and using documents and protection of personal data are important. Standards for Nettiquette and the Use of technology in Genealogical Research can be found in several documents (23).This essay about Lambert Huybertsen Moll is part of a study project. It does not pretend to be a professional Genealogical Research following genealogical standards. Nevertheless it makes sense to hold the code of Ethics and Conduct published by the Board for Certification of Genealogists (32) as much as possible. There is a difference between writing history, constructing genealogical files and the use of data from archives. There always exists some tension between seeking the truth, making an objective and statistical comparison of collected data and personal involvement. Archives can be defined as unique and irreplaceable documents, made and accumulated by a person or organisation and preserved because of their continuing informational evidential or historic value. One might be proud if there is a noble price winner in the family or a famous artist. But what about a political opponent ? A criminal ? An eccentric, a lunatic or a "Loser" ? To what extent such information should be published or be used for other purposes ? A lot of people are skeptical about domain-registration, personal registration and (ab)use of archives. Many prefer to be anonymous and are aversed from being mentioned in records. So,let us be alert, sceptical, accurate, thoroughly and polite. TOP

Lambert Huybertsen Moll´s ancestors were from Dutch origin, living at Wageningen,in the province of Gelderland, The Netherlands.

A record of the parents of Dutchman Lambert Huybertsen Moll (Huybert Lambertsen Moll and Geertje Cornelis from Amersfoort, The Netherlands), is given by the Connover Genealogy: LINK: http://www.conovergenealogy.com/Pages/my01001.htm Jan 3, 1618.

Wulphert Gerritsz (van Couwenhoven) and his wife Neeltgen Jacobs purchased a bleachcamp outside the Coppelpoort of Amersfoort with Hubert Lambertsz Moll and his wife Geertgen Cornisdochter as their partners (see fig. 13, below). They borrowed 500 Carolus Guilders from Ghijsbert Cornelisz van Cuijlenburch, a citizen of the city of Utrecht, at an annual interest of 25 guilders and 20 stivers. In addition, Hubert Lamberts and his wife Geertje Cornelisdochter contracted a special mortgage of 400 Carolus guilders with the consent of Wulffert Gerritsz and his wife. On the north side of the property lay the River Eem, on the east the city moat and on the south and west the heirs of Gerrit van Speulde. This propety came with two other mortgages: 200 guilders to the Poth and 600 guilders to Jo. Catharina van Morendael not yet conveyed to her. In a codicil, Wulpher Gerritsz baker and his wife Neeltgen Jacobs become party to the mortgage of Hubert Lambertsz Moll and his wife Geertge Cornelis for 400 guilders with interest on Ghijsbert Cornelisz van Culenborch with restriction that Wulpher would pay 150 guilders in the year 1618 and thereafter be free of obligation.

The above names of the parents of Lambert Huybertsen Moll also can be found in Dutch Records (1,2). Only before the year 1500 relatives of Lambert Huybertsen Moll (named Moll) can be found in regions what is now Germany. The following chart presents some relatives of Lambert Huybertsen Moll, collected from Dutch Genealogy Records (1,2). Descendants of Johan Moll (1548-1642) and Hendrik Moll (1571 are still living in the Netherlands to day (in the province of Utrecht, Amsterdam, Huizen (VISIT HUIZEN), a small village near Amsterdam), Rhenen near the Grebbeberg and in Neede (Eibergen) in the province of Gelderland. Familial connections between Johan Moll (living in the province of Gelderland, Achterhoek) and the parents of Lambert Huybertsen Moll are strongly suggested but the official documents have not yet been found. To day most of the Moll´s are living in Huizen, The Netherlands (about 60 closely related families).

Lambert: b. 1638 in Wageningen, Gelderland, Netherlands (Father Huybert Lambertse , born Gelderland 1552 died Gelderland 1660 !). Died before 11 April 1702 in Hurley, Ulster, NY. Married Hendrickje (Cornelis b. ca 1635 in Wageningen, Gelderland, Netherlands) in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands. See Robert Borreson, "Direct Terpening Descendants of two Dutch Immigrants to New Netherland," LDS film # 1421918. Will executed on 12 Feb 1695/1696. Proved on 11 Apr 1702. Transferred property to Cornelis Cool (son-in-law) on 9 Mar 1702. Name: LDS Ancestral File ID G442-CB (Lambert Huybertse Brink 1629-1702) is a match; LDS Ancestral File ID 9ND4-30 (Lambert Huybertse) is a match. Lambert leased land in Hurley from the Governor under King Charles II in 1661. In 1708, one of the sons of Lambert assumed the name Brinck (Brink). The stone walls of the original house he built in Old Hurley can still be seen, with a brick addition added in 1842. In a codicil to the will of Luis DuBois dated 27 Feb 1695/6, the Lambert Huybertse farm in Hurley is referred to as a boundary to land owned by DuBois. This implies that Lambert was still living (from Abstracts of Wills Vol I 1665-1707, pages 463 & 464: Liber 5-6 page 173). Lambert, his wife, and two children appear on the passenger list for DE TROUW, 13 DEC 1660. Lambert Heybertsin is listed among those taking an oath of allegiance in Ulster County on 1 Sep 1689 (from E. B. O'Callaghan, M.D., The Documentary History of the State of New-York (Albany, New York: Weed, Parsons & Co., 1850), vol. 1, p. 173.

(5) Comparison between Sources

Data about Lambert Huybertsen Moll and his relatives can be found in several sources on the Web (1,2) the rootsweb file (3,4).
(LINK: GenCircles) and the archives of the Dutch CBG, “Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie, Tijdschrift “Talpa”, 2e jaargang no.8, pp 4.

Though, ancient papers are a very transient material.Unfortunately data from these sources do not match. They differ on several points. What is up ?

In the rootsweb file (3), Lambert Huybertsen Moll is married with Tryntje Pieterse (van Couwenhoven) and she is mentioned as the mother of seven children (see below). However the biological mother of Cornelis Lambertse most likely is Hendrickje Cornelis. The seven children of Lambert Huybertse(n), are:

Name: Lambert Huybertsen MOLL Sex: M Birth: in Wagening Death: UNKNOWN Residence: ABT. 1668 Bushwick, NY Immigration: 13 DEC 1660 From Wagening (=Wageningen) Father: Huybert Lambertszen MOLL b: in Aernhem, The Netherlands Mother: Jannetje WILLEMS b: in Meppel, Netherlands.

These records are confusing in four ways: 1e: The daugther Marretje should be born about 1630 Long Island NY although the Immigration data of the Father is in 1660. (perhaps this could be a secondtime registration) 2e: Parents of Lambert Huybertsen Moll are mentioned as Huybert Lambertsen Moll and Jannetje Willems from Meppel.(perhaps there is confusion with a grandson named Lambert Huybertsen) However there also are records about a son of Lambert H. Moll, named Huybert Lambertsen who married Jannetje Willems (!). 3e: A daughter Lysbet (Elisabeth) Lammertse and a son Peter (Pieter) Lambertszen (born 1670) are not mentioned in the Dutch records. 4e: There are two sons named Hendrick Lambertsen (or Lammertszen) each from another marriage.

It is not unthinkable that Lambert Huybertsen Moll returned to The Netherlands and remarried with Hendrickje Cornelis and returned to New York, but records are missing.[It is but a hypothesis]. Sources: Title: Immigration for Lammert Huybertsen Page: R Billard, DCML citing Ship Passenger lists to NA 1657-1664 Text: 1660 13 Dec; Lammert Huybertsen, from Wagening; Wife and two children

NOTE: This Lammert Huybertsen might be a grandson of Lambert Huybertszen Moll, Dutch Settler.

The question is : who out of a possible 3 wifes is the biological mother of the children of Lambert Huybertszen Moll ? According to Dutch records (1,2) Lambert Huybertsen Moll was married three times.

Margaretha ? His first wife wasMaria (Margaretha).., unknown. Did Margaretha die in Nieuw Amsterdam after the birth of the first child in 1625 (LINK see Marretje Lambertse Blauvelt-Moll) ? Was she left behind in The Netherlands ?

Margaretha ?

In a record at Ancestry.com: about Lambert Huybertse Moll the following is mentioned:

Lambert Huyberse MOLL was born about 1604 (?) in Holland. He died after 1664 in Bushwick, Kings Co., Ny. He married Unknown. Unknown was born about 1604 in. She died before 1641. She married Lambert Huyberse MOLL. They had the following children:

Record from Ancestry.com MyTrees.com : In this record a son Reyer Moll is mentioned.

Most likely these are the three children of an unknown mother, Margaretha as mentioned in Dutch records.

Trijntje ?

His second wife is supposed to be Tryntje PIETERS (van Couwenhoven), born before 1626 (?) - died after 1688, and his third wife was Hendrichje Cornelis.. born 7 July 1641 NewYork.

Hendrichje (or Hendrikske van Schaick ? or Henrichje Arents ?) could be a daughter of the couple (Pieter) Cornelis Aertzen BREYANDT (born 1619) and Belitje (or Greetie) HENDRICKS (born 1623) Steenwijk, province of Overijssel, The Netherlands. (A memorial-tablet of this couple is to be seen on the marble-floor of The Old Church of Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

According to "The History of McDonough County Illinois," Volume 1, Compiled by Ruth Chenowith and Sara Wisslead Semonis: Lambert Moll and Hendrickje Cornelis were the parents of Marretje.

Why the eldest daughter was named (very unusual according to namegiving rules at that time) Maria instead of "Tryntje Lambertse" ? Why his youngest son was named "Cornelis" ? According to Dutch genealogical archives (1,2) Hendrichje Cornelisz (or Hendrichske) married Lambert Huybertsen Moll after 1660 (third wife) and they became a son Cornelis Lambertse Moll. Tryntje:

Hendrikje VanSchaick {Mol} female born in New Amsterdam, New Netherland Father: Cornelis Aertsen VanSchaick (about 1610-1669) Mother: Belitje Arabella Hendrickse {VanSchaick} (est. 1610-about 1661) Baptized 7 Jul 1641 :2212,p2 Married Lambert Haybertsen Mol (about 1640) about 1659 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland Died before 1664 in New Amsterdam, New Netherland. Another record about Hendrichje (Hendrickje) Cornelis can be found at the following link: http://www.u.arizona.edu/~terp/genealogy.html

Hendrickje: LDS Ancestral File Id: 9ND4-45 (Hendrikje Cornelis). Hendrickje was taken captive by Indians in the 2nd Esopus War in June of 1663, along with 3 of her children. They were captured on June 7, 1663 and were held for three months. The last of the captives were released in Dec 1663. Biography: De Halve Maen, vol 57, #1. Father: Cornelis Barentse Van de Cuyl (b. 1615 in Wageningen d. 1706). Mother: Lysbet Arentse (b. 1615 in Wageningen d.1676). Sisters: Annetje m. Cornelis Vernooy (they emigrated on the ship Geelove "Faith" on 20 Jan 1664). Jacomyntje m. Jan Barentse Kunst on 14 Mar 1663--she was his 2nd wife). Most likely this Hendrichje (Van de Cuyl) is NOT the same as Hendrichje Cornelis BREYANDT (see above).

A simple research in the databases of Ancestry World Tree for the name of Tryntje Pieters (New York before 1750) unveils at least 3 other records in which a Tryntje (Catharina) Pieters is mentioned. A Tryntje Pieters (birth 17 dec 1662) is supposed to be the spouse of Hans Spier and / or Tamme Jacobs Bolhuis and / or Hendrick Albertse.

More information is available about a certain Tryntje Pieters. Pieters(e) or Pietersze is a common Dutch patronymic. Tryntje Pieters is frequently mentioned in archives. For instance, a Tryntje Pieters was mentioned as the daughter of Pieter Casparzen Van Naerden Mabie and Aechtje Jans :(Tryntje (Catharina) PIETERS BIRTH: 1662 CHRISTENING: 17 DEC 1662, New Amsterdam,New York,Dutch Ref. Ch,N.Y. Father: Pieter Casparzen MABIE Mother: Aechtje JANS)

The matter becomes more complicated by the fact that in old archives of Amsterdam, The Netherlands (16) a Lambert Huybertsen Moll (a carpenter) is mentioned together with his “huyswijf” (house-wife) Tryntje Pieters and their son Jo(h)annnes Moll, born 1640 Amsterdam The Netherlands. One of the immigrants mentioned in the passengerslist of the “Gilded Beaver” (1658) was a maiden Tryntje Pieters, sailing from Amsterdam to New Amsterdam (12). Possibly this is the same person Tryntje Pieters, an orphan, as mentioned in the following records of Decoursey

The breakup of the partnership of Albert ANDRIESSEN BRADT and Pieter CORNELISSEN that took place in 1638, was apparently still being litigated as late as 1659/60; for in August 1659, Simon TURCK, plaintiff, "as husband and guardian of Merretje PIETERS, dau. of the deceased Pieter CORNELISSEN as well as for himself as representing the orphan child of Tryntie PIETERS, deceased dau. of Pieter CORNELISSEN," produces in Court his demand against Albert ANDRIESSEN de Norman, defendant, "concluding, that the attachment on the two cows grazing with Wolfert WEBBER shall stand good and have its full effect, until the said Albert ANDRIESSEN shall have paid him his arrears to the amount of fl. 2, sent to him by Joris Jans RAPALJE, 3 Sept. 1649, in the absence of Pieter CORNELISSEN, millwright, deceased., not accounted for nor made good by him." For details of this lengthy litigation see: John O. Evjen, SCANDINAVIAN IMMIGRANTS IN NEW YORK (1916), pp.26-28; Berthold Fernow, THE RECORDS OF NEW AMSTERDAM FROM 1653-1674, v.III, pp.24, 32, 37, 57,

A Remarkable Note:

About the time of his marriage with Hendrichje, Lambert Huybertsen Moll must have been at the age of 68 and was already a grandfather of at least 8 grandchildren ! Possibly a man of this age had a lot of other things to attend to, yet ...... the more the merrier. Such things will occur in the best regulated families.

(6) Spelling the Surname Moll "What is in a name ?"

The Saxons

The name MOL (Moll, Molle or Molla, Latin- Mollis) is the German (Saxon) verb [muldo + lauha]. Muldo means dry and softy sand (Dutch = Mul) or perhaps a "mouth" near a see-shore. Lauha means a small raising platform (the english verb "level"). References to Mill or the animal Mole (Talpa europea) are without significance. In the Netherlands places like Muiden, Ijmuiden, Genemuiden are local and natural harbours, located on dry sand (56).
Notwithstanding this several Mol(l) families depicted one or more images of this little animal in their arms. The Moll-family tree is one of the oldest families in the Lower Countries (Netherlands, Belgium,West-Germany).

In history the surname or nickname Moll (meaning gentle or soft) is recorded first among descendants of the anything but peaceable Saxon-tribes who in the 5^th century AC (during the Great Migration) moved from South-East Germany towards the Lower Countries,the Western and Eastern provinces of the Netherlands, England, Scotland and Northumbria. A certain Aethelwald Moll and his son Aethelred I were rulers ("kings or usurpers") of the Saxions in Northumbria between 759-796 when the Vikings raid on Iona, Inishbofin, Inishmurray, Skye and Rathlin in 795(17).

The Flemish [see ref: (46)]

Early municipal records of Mol(l) in the lower countries are dated from ± 1100, Baldricus Mol, (Lochem- Gelderland) and Roelf Mol (Deventer- Overijssel), Florijs Mol (1322) Grafelijke Lenen Overschie (41) and Pieter and Joosten Mol (± 1490-1580) Burgomasters of Reymerswaal (province of Zeeland).

More than 100 representants of Mol between 1274-1589 are named in a list of Flemish Burgomasters (Governors) of Brussels (44). Among them a certain Iwain Moll named Ywain,Yvain,Jueyn or Isewyn. This Iwain Moll is known as (de) Mol(l) van Leedtbergen, Lord of Deurne (1456) in the province of North Brabant, region "De Peel",The Netherlands. He was a "principal-sherrif (hoogschout)" in the city Den Bosch The Netherlands, and he is mentioned together with his daughter Judith Moll (39).

See: A Flemish Mol Family-tree: Iwain (de) Moll

Iwain Moll married first to Geertruyd Pieck and later to Judith Pieck. This Judith Pieck (born ± 1412?) was a daughter of Jonkheer Gijsbrecht Pieck, died ±1436 ,rentmeester van Gelre (1413), and Wilhelmina van Arkel van Heuckelom van Acqoie born ± 1395- died ± 1458 (40).(45).This lineage goes far back in history (See Ref. Rebecca van Balen, [REF:(55)].The daughter of the marriage between Iwain Moll and Judith Pieck was Judith Moll (born ± 1440 ?or earlier). She first was married to a nobleman Wessel van de Boetselaer or Wesceslas de Boetselaer and later to Knight Hendrick Taye, Lord of Ruysbroeck.

NOTES:
[1] On the following link(40) Iwain Moll and his second wife Judith Pieck are mentioned as : Jutte Pieck, huwde met Jueyn Mol, heer van Leedbergen.
[2] Elburg van de Boetselaer (or Elburgia van Boetzelaer),abbes of the Abbey at Rijnsburg, the granddaughter of Judith Moll was the donatrix of glas nr 5 ("The Queen of Sheba and King Salomo") in the St Jans Church Gouda.(42)

Changing the Surname

During the Reformation some families changed their surnames (from Mol or de Mol into Moll or van Mol or vice versa). Before the peace of Munster (1648, the end of the eighty years war), members of the same family in the Netherlands signed documents by turns with Moll, Moller, Mol, Mool, Moel, Mul(l), Mohl, Mill, or even van Moll(e). After that time, all members of the Dutch Reformed families in Amsterdam (prov. North Holland), Amersfoort (prov. Utrecht), Arnhem, Wageningen, Velp, Zutphen (prov.Gelderland) consequently signed their documents with Moll.In the province of Zeeland most members of the Moll-family changed their name from Moll into Mol.
Only during the French period (1798-1813) all those name-changing became definitively.
Especially the surname Mol(l) is very frustating for Genealogical research : Before the Council of Trent (1545-1563) most members of the Moll´s who lived in the eastern provinces of The Netherlands (Gelderland, Achterhoek, Overijssel,Twente) and Western Germany (at that time the same part of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V) and they were Roman Catholic. They often moved or migrated between these regions for trade without written documents. This situation was maintained until the Reformation (Moll, 1864, 30).

Besides, due to Iconoclasm (1566, "Beeldenstorm" or Alteration), many archives in monasteries and splendid Roman-Catholic ornaments (for instance in Deventer in the province of Overijssel, The Netherlands) were destroyed. Only a few documents of the rich and the better classed-people could be preserved.

Lambert is very common in The Netherlands. In combination with the second name Huybertsen or Huybertse (=son of Huybert) it is mentioned in genealogical records of Amsterdam, Arnhem and Wageningen (Gelderland, The Netherlands) and in databases of people living in New York (Nieuw Amsterdam).

According to the Dutch historician the late Dr.W.H.Moll (1,2), only members of the Mol(l) families from Gelderland (SEE LINK: Wageningen, Achterhoek, Arnhem, Velp, Zutphen, Putten and North Holland Amsterdam,Huizen: written in Dutch Language) are closely related. In the Moll-families names like “Lambert”, "Lammert" and “Huybert” are frequently used.

One problem is: the name of Lambert Huybertsen Moll sometimes is spelled as: Lambert Huyberse, Lambert Huybertszen, Lambert Haybertse or Lammert Huyberts or combinations. See also:Ancestry.com

NOTE: In the work: I. N. Phelps STOKES: The Iconography of Manhattan Island, 1498-1909; Arno Press, NY, 1967. 6 Volumes (Lib Congress C# 67-13560) Lambert Moll is mentioned as Lambert Huybertsen Mol. (57), see also: INDEX TO PLOTS ON THE CASTELLO PLAN MAP.

Huyberts (= Hayberts= Huyberse = Huybertse = Huybertsz(en) = Huybertsen= "son of Huybert") are frequently used as synonyms. In some cases Huybert or Huyberts is used as a surname in next generations.

(7) Concluding remarks

Searching for information about Lambert Huybertse Moll in genealogical documents or achives one should use Mol, Moll and Lambert Huyberts(e(n)) as keys. Consulting different sources yields different outcomes. The above data suggest that the sources only are in accordance with respect to FOUR CHILDREN of the Dutch settler Lambert Huybertsen Moll: Mar(r)itje, Geertje, Huybert, Abr(ah)am.
The exact identity of the mother(s) of these four children remains UNCERTAIN, although in favor of a certain Tryntje Pieters(e) as the mother of Geertje, Huybert and Abr(ah)am. Most likely the mother of Maritje was Margaretha (unknown) and his third wife Hendrichje Cornelis (Breyandt) or Hendrichje van Schaik almost certainly was the mother of at least one child (Cornelis Lambertse). However, this argument could be based on the assumption of namegiving rules in the Netherlands of that time.

Manhattan Island was first under Dutch rule and was known as New Amsterdam. Its early growth of the town was made under the auspices of the West India Company, a private corporation, which kept a rather jealous eye upon its officials and colonists. A constant intercommunication, which resulted in a wealth of records, was kept a constant intercommunication. Although most of those records supposedly perished, the author, J. H. Innes, used them, complete from the year 1636, to prepare this book. Mr. Innes wrote: "Within the period of the first thirty or forty years of the colonization of New Amsterdam there are to be met, within the town, representatives of every country of Europe west of the line of the Slavonic peoples. The Dutch, of course, greatly predominated." This book on microfiche contains studies of the town under both Dutch and early English rule, interesting stories, maps, plans, views and a wealth of genealogical information :
The Hamlet at the Ferry - Lambert Moll - Hage Bruynsen, the Swede - Dirck Volckertsen and His Brother-in-Law, Abraham Verplanck - Thomas Hall's Place

1664, In O'Callaghan's "History of New Netherland; or New York under the Dutch", Volume 2, page 529: one reads the following: "Those citizens of New Amsterdam who, on September 5, 1664, signed a petition to Gov. Stuyvesant asking him to surrender to the British fleet of 6 frigates (with 600 soldiers aboard) to avoid "the absolute ruin and destruction of about fifteen hundred innocent souls, only two hundred and fifty of whom are capable of bearing arms."
