Individual Details
Rachel DE LA MONTAGNE
(1634 - 4 Oct 1664)
Rachel Mousnier de la Montagne, the oldest daughter of Dr. La Montagne and his first wife Rachel DeForest, was born in Leiden, Holland, in 1634. No baptismal record in Leiden can be found for Rachel, but she is named as an underage (under 25) child of Rachel DeForest in the Orphanmasters' records in Leiden in 1654. As a young child, Rachel traveled to the colony of New Netherland with her family in 1636 aboard the Rensselaerswyck and she grew up in New Amsterdam.
When her mother died in 1643, it was probably Rachel who had to assume the major care of baby Willem, even though she was just nine years old. Even after her father remarried and his new wife took over the care of the household, Rachel seems to have remained close to Willem. It was Rachel and Willem who went to Fort Orange (now Albany) in 1656 with their father and stepmother, although both Jan and Maria stayed in New Amsterdam.
