Generation No. 2

2. Pieter Jansen² Scholl (Jan Pietersen¹) was born Abt. 1633 in Holland, and died Aft. 1684 in NY ¹. He married Margaritje Provoost November 16, 1660 in New Netherlands, daughter of David Provoost and Margaretha Gillis. She was born Bef. February 24, 1640/41 in New Netherlands¹, and died Unknown.

Notes for Pieter Jansen Scholl:
Pieter Jansen Scholl came to New Amsterdam as a Redeptioner before 1659. On January 28, 1659 he is listed as a servant employed as a shoemaker by Canraat (Coenraet)Ten Eyck. The passage money for the voyage from Holland to New Amsterdam was paid by Canraat ten Eyck who claimed services for pay. Difficulties arose over payment and resulted in legal action. On March 8, 1661 Pieter Scholl was sent to prison while the case was under consideration. On March 15, 1661 he was released and let off with a fine of twelve guilders and costs for offenses. There is no record of required repayment. The Court Minutes of New Amsterdam reflect three occasions where Pieter Scholl was sued for debt or default in trade. On February 24, 1664, when the British conquest was imminent, he was among those citizens who pledged a loan of 100 florins to the City. That was probably a loser as an investment. There are no records to show a repayment. His name appears in the records on November 27, 1668 when he sold a house in Flatbush. In 1673 his name appears on the roll of citizens of Hempstead, Long Island, where his daughter, Annetje, was married in 1680.
The last known record of his name is found in a transfer of property to his "beloved son-in law Hendrick Mandeville" on June 14, 1684 at Hempstead, Long Island. His son, Johannes or John and his son Peter reverted to the English spelling of their surname, while David, and many of his descendants, adhered to the Dutch spelling.
It should be noted that the location of events is sometimes misleading in New York and New Jersey. There were no counties prior to 1683 and both States were under the Governor of New York until 1702. Until 1664 the records reflect the location as New Amsterdam. After 1664 and up to 1702 there was a New York Province, an East Jersey Province and a West Jersey Province.
Scholls, OR; Schollville, KY; and Scullville, NJ are named after some of the descendants of Pieter Scholl and Margaritje Provoost.
