THE DESCENDANTS OF [WILLEM?] KLINCKENBERG

Generation No. 3

3. WILLEM³ KLINCKENBERGH (WILLEM² KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]¹)²⁰ was born about 1684 in New York ²¹, and died Unknown. He married JANNETYE JURRIAENS. She was born about 1689, and died Unknown.

Notes for WILLEM KLINCKENBERGH:
A child named Elizabeth was recorded as having been baptised on 21 April 1736 in Maidenhead, New Jersey, with her Godparents listed as Abraham Stevens and Maryte Corsen, and her parents listed as "Wellem and Jannetye Klenkenbergh."[a] Although this "Wellem Klenkenbergh" could have been the one born in 1649, it is more likely that it was his son, born about 1692.
Another source states that this baptism was found entered in the records of the North and Southampton Reformed Low Dutch Church in the Bristol Road in Churchville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, not in New Jersey.[b] This source states that the above Church records also disclose the baptism on 29 August 1742 of Elsie Frestone, a child of Isaac Frestone and Johanna Broades [Broadhurst], the godparents being listed as Willem Klinkenbergh and Elsie Broades [Broadhurst], who were surely Willem (born c.1684) and his sister, Elsye.[b]

Child of WILLEM KLINCKENBERGH and JANNETYE JURRIAENS is:

ELIZABETH⁴ VAN CLINKENBURGH, b. 1736, probably Maidenhead, New Jersey ²²; d. Unknown.

Notes for ELIZABETH VAN CLINKENBURGH:

4. BARBARA³ VAN CLINKENBURGH (WILLEM² KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]¹)²³ was born about 1687 in New York ^24,²⁵, and died Unknown. She married JACOB CONEY 6 August 1707 in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania ^26,^27,^28,^29,³⁰. He was born about 1680, and died about 1713.

Notes for BARBARA VAN CLINKENBURGH:
The following entry is found in PENNSYLVANIA VITAL RECORDS:

"A REGISTER OF BAPTISM THE FIRST
COLUMN SHEWING YE MONTH BEGINNING
AT MARCH, THE SECOND YE DAY OF THE MONTH
WHEN THEY WERE PERFORMED AND ADMINISTERED TO THE
PERSONS HEREAFTER MENTIONED."

"1710, May 21. [Parents:] Jacob Cony, barber klinckenbergh; [Child:] Willem; [Godparents:] Willem klinckenbergh, Jannetye Jurriaens
"Note: Jacob Cony and Barbara Van Clinkenburgh were married at the First Presbyterian Church, Philada. Aug. 6, 1707."[a]
In conflict is another source which states that this baptism took place "at the Dutch Reformed Church in Bensalem, Bucks Co."[b] Yet a third source states that the baptisms in May 1710 occurred not in the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, but in the North and Southampton Dutch Reformed Church (also called the Neshaminy Church) in Churchville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The date given for Willem's christening is 2 May 1710.[c]

She married JOHN BRADHURST(BROADHURST, BRADECKS) 7 April 1708 in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania ^37,^38,³⁹. He was born about 1683, and died Unknown.

Notes for ALSE/ELSYE VAN CLINKENBURGH:

6. JOHN³ CLINKENBEARD (WILLEM² KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]¹)⁴³ was born about 1693 in New York or Pennsylvania ⁴⁴, and died Bef. 15 May 1741 in (Pennsylvania?)^45,⁴⁶. He married [ANNE?] [----?----]⁴⁷ about 1719. She was born about 1700, and died Unknown.

Notes for JOHN CLINKENBEARD:
[The compiler's sixth great grandfather.]
John was born in about 1694, during the reign of King WILLIAM III and Queen MARY (II), probably in New York but possibly in Pennsylvania. He died before 15 May 1741 when his father wrote his Will, and may have died before 17 March 1734/5, the date his supposed widow married Richard Plummer. The exact date and place of John's death are unknown.
John married, and his wife was perhaps Anne [----?----], but no documentation regarding his marriage has been found. Regarding the identity of John's wife, for which we have no solid evidence, the Filson Club genealogy states that

"Perhaps his widow (or that of his brother Josiah) was the Anne Clinkenbeard who married Richard Plummer on 17 March 1734[/5?]."

(In another record, the marriage of "Anne Clinkenburgh" is recorded as occuring on 17 January 1734, but this was due to an error in calculating Quaker dating.)[a]
It has been suggested that Anne could have been another granddaughter of Willem and Jannetje's (Johanna's?)---the daughter of either William, Joriah, or John himself. Had she been a daughter of John or Joriah, both of whom died before their father wrote his Will in 1741, she presumably would have been mentioned (unless she, too, had died) in her grandfather Willem's 1741 Will, since all of the children of those two sons appear to have been named.
Although Willem Klinckenberg of Northampton (c.1668-1754) did NOT name all all of his living grandchildren in his Will, there is every reason to believe that 1) all of his grandchildren had been born by 1741, and 2) he named in his Will all of his grandchildren who had been born to his DECEASED sons, John and Joriah.[b] These grandchildren were:

John's child: William Clinkenbeard.
Joriah's children: Johanna and Joriah Clinkenbeard, daughters.

In addition to the children of John and Joriah, Willem's only other grandchildren who WOULD HAVE BORNE THE CLINKENBEARD SURNAME would have been the children of his son William. However, this son appears to have had no issue, for, contrary to what one would expect, there has been found no baptismal or other record of any children born to William such as there have been of the children born to his brothers and sisters.
Thus, while the linkage cannot be documented, the assumption can be made that the only grandchild of Willem's named William Clinkenbeard was John's son, and that, given the uniqueness of the name "Clinkenbeard," it was that William who, almost certainly, was our William Clinkenbeard (1725-1823) of Connolloway Creek, Pennsylvania, and Shepherdstown, Virginia. Further circumstantial support for this resides in the fact that the latter William named his first son "John," (after his own father?). If, as it appears, this assumption is correct, then William's father, John, was the direct-line forefather from whom we descend.

Child of JOHN CLINKENBEARD and [ANNE?] [----?----] is:

11.

WILLIAM⁴ CLINKENBEARD, b. 1725, Bucks [now Northampton] County, Pennsylvania, probably in Northampton; d. April 1823, Winchester, Clarke County, Kentucky.

7. JORIAH³ CLINKENBEARD (WILLEM² KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]¹)^48,⁴⁹ was born about 1699 in New York or Pennsylvania ^50,^51,⁵², and died Bef. 1741.

Children of JORIAH CLINKENBEARD are:

	i.		JOHANNA⁴ CLINKENBEARD, b. about 1723, (Bucks County, Pennsylvania?); d. Unknown.
	ii.		JORIAH CLINKENBEARD, b. about 1725, (Bucks County, Pennsylvania?); d. Unknown.

8. ELIZABETH³ VAN CLINKENBURGH (WILLEM² KLINCKENBERG, [WILLEM?]¹)⁵³ was born about 1705 in New York or Pennsylvania ^54,⁵⁵, and died Unknown. She married BARNARD (BARENT) VAN HORNE 25 February 1725/26 in the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania ^56,⁵⁷, son of BARENT VAN HOORN and GEERTJE CLAUSSEN. He was born 3 April 1691, and died about 1751 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Notes for ELIZABETH VAN CLINKENBURGH:
Elizabeth married in the Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on "25 Feb. 1726[/7?], as his 2d wife, BARENT VanHORN,[a] b. 3 April 1691, d. in Bucks Co., perhaps ca. 1751,[b] son of Barent Christian VanHoorn (Christian Barentson) and Geertje Dirks Claussen;[c] at least 3 children."[d]
Although Elizabeth was living at the time her father named her in his Will of 15 May 1741, she may have died prior to 31 December 1741 as suggested in the following source: "A Barent van Hoorn, widower, who was born in Bucks County, married a Jannetje Boskerk, who was born in the Manor of Morland, December 31, 1741. . . If Barent van Hoorn, widower, mentioned above, was the same person who was married to Elizabeth Clinkenbeard, then Elizabeth must have died sometime between May 15 and December 31, 1741. Further, even though it is not of direct importance, a Barent Van Horn, widower, married a Janneke Slegt November 1, 1764. If this is the same Barent van Hoorn as previously discussed, then he was married at least three times."[e]
Further in regard to the Van Horns, the same source states: "The Vanhornes came into Southampton Township early, but the time is not known. On May 6 and 7, 1722, Abraham Vanhorne purchased 290 acres of land from Bernard Christian, by a lease and release. The land was probably in Southampton Township [Bucks Co., Penn.]. Northampton Township had quite a sprinkling of Hollanders among her early settlers. Among the earliest to settle were those who came from Long Island, New York, which included the Vanhornes, who came from the Flatbush section. The author believes as previously stated that Wellem Klinckenbergh and his family were among that group which included the Vanhornes. The family name Vanhorne comes from the little town and Seigneuri of Horn in Brabant, Netherlands. Abraham Vanhorne was the first of the family to settle in Northampton. He came as stated previously prior to 1722."[f]
