Jannetje Teller Schuyler

by

Family-based resources, tell us that Jannetje Teller was born in November 1648 or perhaps in 1662. She was the daughter of New Netherland pioneers Willem Teller and Margaret Donchesen Teller.

In November 1684, she married Arent Schuyler at the Albany Dutch church. By 1700, at least six children had been christened in Albany and New York.

In March 1685, "Janneke" filed a joint will with her new husband. As yet childless, they entrusted the entire estate to the surviving partner while making provisions for subsequent offspring.

These Schuylers initially made their home in Albany's second ward. But by the mid-1690s, they had re-located to New York.

Jannetje Teller Schuyler probably died shortly after the birth of her last child in 1700. Arent Schuyler re-married at the end of 1702.
