He married first, Dorothea Volckers, who died in 1658, as reported by him 12 Apr. 1660, to The Orphan's Court in New Amsterdam, expressing his intentions to remarry, and asked for the appointment of guardians for his four (4) children. The resulting proceedings, as given in "Original Records of Burgomasters and Orphan Masters," page 132 , are preserved as follows: "On the 15th, of April 1660, appeared before me Joannes Nevius, secretary of the Orphans Chamber of the City of Amsterdam in New Netherland, Pieter Jansen Witt, who in the presents of Henderick Willemsen, the baker, and Jan Jansen van Breeste produced a petition presented to the Director General and Council of New Netherland, August 25, 1658, wherein he reports the death of his wife who left him four children, and his intent on to marry again, as well following the customs and manners of the country; the property, after his wife's death, amounting to 3,200 fl. the florin at 20 stuyvers, of which is said children's share or half is 1,600 fl. He declares his conscience that there is no more and that no more would be found by impartial men; and administrators to take care of the property, so that said children may not be harmed in their interest, Hendrick Willemsen, the baker, and Jan Jansen van Breeste , binding for the afore said children's share of 1,600 fl.... . This was approved... A marginal note on petition dated 12 April 1660.. Gives wife's name Dorothy Volckers... that he promises to secure this money here at the Manhattans .....that the above mentioned be elected guardians of his four children, further to bring up the children, until they are of age or marry, to board and clothe them and do all for them that an honest father is bound to do."
