Catrina Creiger was baptized Dec 31, 1645 at New Amsterdam (NYC), NY. She was the daughter of Captain Martin Creiger (b. abt 1614 Toulouse, France-d.early 1713 in the Mohawk Valley, Canastagione,NY) & Lysbet (Elizabeth) Jans. Captain Martin Cregier was the first Burgomaster of New Amsterdam.
Catrina Cregier was married to her first husband (Nicasius De Sille - 1655) only briefly before she was married to Christoffel Hooglandt (marriage banns) June 23, 1661 ("It was formally announced from the pulpit of the church in the fort"). They were parents to: Dirck (b. 1662-d. 1721), Elizabeth (b. 1664, d. young),Harman (b. 1666, d. young), Martin (b.1667, d. young), Christoffel (b. 1669-d. 1748), Francis (b. 1672), Jacob (b. 1676, d. prior to 1684), Harmanus (b. 1681-d. 1771).
After the death of "Stoffel" Hooglandt in Feb. 1684, she continued to live at their home located on Pearl Street between State & Whitehall Streets, NYC until she next married twice widowed Roelof Martense Schenck in 1688. The service was held at the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church on Long Island.
At that time she "moved to the bay" (Flatlands - near Jamaica Bay) where she lived thru the death of her 3rd husband (1705). Although her other children moved away from Long Island, her youngest son Harmanus (1681-1771) lived on Long Island the rest of his life. Catrina Creiger died the last part of 1713 (after the death of her father earlier in 1713). Both she & her son Harmanus were members of the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church (est. 1654).
Her diminutive Dutch nickname was "Trynjie".She is often referred to in legal records as "Trynjie" just as her husband was referred to as "Stoffel".
(Very few stones remain from the early burials at this site - lost to custom of "no stones" & to ravages of time.
