*Here is more added by John Sherman on 12-12-18: Catalyntje De Vos was born 1628 in Holland, Netherlands to Andries and Margrietje Pieterse Coeymans De Vos. She emigrated with her parents May 17, 1641 from Amsterdam, Holland, arriving August 20, 1641 at New Amsterdam, New York on the ship DEN EYCKENBOON. They were originally Huguenot refugees from France. Catalyntje married Arent Andriessen Bradt in 1648 at Albany, Albany County, New York and their children were: Aeffje, Ariaantje, Andries, Cornelia (#83441117), Samuel and Dirck. After the death of her husband Arent November 12, 1662 at Albany, she married Barent Janse Van Ditmars and they had a son - Cornelius. On the evening of February 8, 1690, when the town of Schenectady was sleeping, a party of more than 200 Canadien French and allied Mohawk, Sault and Algonquin warriors attacked the unguarded community, burning nearly all the homes and killing or capturing most of the inhabitants. Only a few escaped to nearby Albany. Among those killed were Catalyntje's husband Barent Van Ditmars and their son Cornelius. Also, son Andries by Arent and his son. After these hard times, Catalyntje married Claas Janse Van Boekhoven at Schenectady later in 1691. She died, having outlived Claas, July 23, 1712 at Schenectady and is buried there.
