More about his father:
Willem Adriaenszen was born before 1615 "in possibly France, but more likely Holland," according to Ledley, although Denmark is also a possibility (see below). The date assumes that he was at least 21 at the time of his only known marriage.

Also known as Willem de Cuyper (or William the cooper, his trade, as called in the marriage record of his widow, Maria Thomas, 9 Oct 1644).

The first record for him is dated 1636 when he and Jacques Bentyn (possibly a clue to Willem's Bennet surname) purchased 936 acres of land at Gowanus. On 26 Dec 1639, Jacques Bentyn sold his interest to Willem Adriaense. Little is known of Willem except that he is only referred to with the Bennet surname after his death, and that he was a cooper by trade. On 9 Sept. 1644, his property was patented by Gov. Kieft to Mary Thomas widow of Willem Ariaense Bennet, deceased. It was property that later was between 28th and 41st streets in Brooklyn.

There are, in addition to the families descended from Willem Bennet, several other Bennett families of English origins, found in the early settlements of New England and in parts of New Jersey. Willem's descendants can be distinguished, at least in the earlier generations, by the appearence of a single "t" at the end of the name, as compared to a double "tt" more commonly found with the other families. Willem Bennet's origins are not certain. It is noted that in the earlier records, his sons are always recorded under the patronymic, "Willemszen, " until some time after their own marriages when they are primarily seen as "Adriaen Willems Bennet," and "Willem Willems Bennet." Willem himself, is always recorded as "Willem Adriaenszen," in other words, "Willem son of Adriaen." The Bennet surname was adopted by the sons after the English conquest of New Netherlands. In the 1698 census of Brooklyn, where five Bennets are recorded, none of them are distinguished by either of the letters "E" for English, or "F" for French. Both sons and grandsons of Willem Adriaensen took oaths of allegiance at Kings County in 1687. These oaths were generally administered by the English Royal Government to only non-English persons. Previously published accounts of Willem, by Provost (1948) and Ledley (1963) lean towards the belief that Willem was of French Huguenot descent, and conclude that while that can not be determined with certainty, he was most likely not of English descent.

A new look into the origins of Willem Adriaensz identifies some entries found in Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (Albany, 1908) regarding a Willem Adriaensz, cooper, as pertaining to Willem Adriaensen of Long Island. If the connection is correct, then it appears that Willem Adriaensen was among the first Europeans to acquire land on Long Island, doing so in probably 1636 (whether or not Jacque Bentyn, who also bought land on Long Island at this early time, is a relation of Willem or not as not yet been determined). The VRBM entries state that Willem Andriaesz was from "Elseneur," which is identified as Helsingör in Denmark. Although this can not prove Willem's ethnic origins, it does appear that he was in Denmark before arriving at New Netherland.

More about his father:
Willem Adriaenszen was born before 1615 "in possibly France, but more likely Holland," according to Ledley, although Denmark is also a possibility (see below). The date assumes that he was at least 21 at the time of his only known marriage.
Wilson V. Ledley, "Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Some of His Descendants", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vols.93, pp. 193-204; 94, pp. 34-41, 107-114, 156-169, 205-213; Vol. 95, pp. 10-27, 155-165, 204-207 (1962-1964): 93:195-198. #1 in the genealogy.
Married Maria Badie, daughter of Thomas Badie and Aeltje Braconie, at probably New Amsterdam circa 1637.
Ibid., 93:197.
Also known as Willem de Cuyper (or William the cooper, his trade, as called in the marriage record of his widow, Maria Thomas, 9 Oct 1644).
John Reynolds Totten, "Van Der Beek Family Notes", New York Genealogical & Biographical Record Vol. 64, pp.229-243; 367-387 (1933): p.230.
The first record for him is dated 1636 when he and Jacques Bentyn (possibly a clue to Willem's Bennet surname) purchased 936 acres of land at Gowanus. On 26 Dec 1639, Jacques Bentyn sold his interest to Willem Adriaense. Little is known of Willem except that he is only referred to with the Bennet surname after his death, and that he was a cooper by trade. On 9 Sept. 1644, his property was patented by Gov. Kieft to Mary Thomas widow of Willem Ariaense Bennet, deceased. It was property that later was between 28th and 41st streets in Brooklyn.
Wilson V. Ledley, "Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Some of His Descendants", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vols.93, pp. 193-204; 94, pp. 34-41, 107-114, 156-169, 205-213; Vol. 95, pp. 10-27, 155-165, 204-207 (1962-1964): 93:196.
On 24 November 1642 Hendrick Jansen tailor conveyed to Willem Adriaenszen "his garden dwelling and brew house," at Manhattan, for 2500 guilders, payable in three installments.
Arnold J.F. Van Laer, Register of the Provincial Secretary, 1642-1647, New York Historical Manuscripts, Vol. 2 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1974), pages 88-89.
There are, in addition to the families descended from Willem Bennet, several other Bennett families of English origins, found in the early settlements of New England and in parts of New Jersey. Willem's descendants can be distinguished, at least in the earlier generations, by the appearence of a single "t" at the end of the name, as compared to a double "tt" more commonly found with the other families. Willem Bennet's origins are not certain. It is noted that in the earlier records, his sons are always recorded under the patronymic, "Willemszen, " until some time after their own marriages when they are primarily seen as "Adriaen Willems Bennet," and "Willem Willems Bennet." Willem himself, is always recorded as "Willem Adriaenszen," in other words, "Willem son of Adriaen." The Bennet surname was adopted by the sons after the English conquest of New Netherlands. In the 1698 census of Brooklyn, where five Bennets are recorded, none of them are distinguished by either of the letters "E" for English, or "F" for French. Both sons and grandsons of Willem Adriaensen took oaths of allegiance at Kings County in 1687. These oaths were generally administered by the English Royal Government to only non-English persons. Previously published accounts of Willem, by Provost (1948) and Ledley (1963) lean towards the belief that Willem was of French Huguenot descent, and conclude that while that can not be determined with certainty, he was most likely not of English descent.
Wilson V. Ledley, "Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Some of His Descendants", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vols.93, pp. 193-204; 94, pp. 34-41, 107-114, 156-169, 205-213; Vol. 95, pp. 10-27, 155-165, 204-207 (1962-1964): 93:194-5.
A new look into the origins of Willem Adriaensz identifies some entries found in Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (Albany, 1908) regarding a Willem Adriaensz, cooper, as pertaining to Willem Adriaensen of Long Island. If the connection is correct, then it appears that Willem Adriaensen was among the first Europeans to acquire land on Long Island, doing so in probably 1636 (whether or not Jacque Bentyn, who also bought land on Long Island at this early time, is a relation of Willem or not as not yet been determined). The VRBM entries state that Willem Andriaesz was from "Elseneur," which is identified as Helsingör in Denmark. Although this can not prove Willem's ethnic origins, it does appear that he was in Denmark before arriving at New Netherland.
Harry Macy, "Origins of Some New Netherland Families", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol.123 (1992): 123:21-22.
Willem Adriaenszen died between 9 March 1644 and 9 September 1644; His death possibly occured during the "Indian Wars" of this period, a time during which Willem's house was burned down.

Immigrant ancestor to America between 1626 and 1628 (estimate, an exact record of immigration has not been found) she came to New Netherlands, with her parents. She was living as late as Jan 1697. She had children with all three of her husbands and is the ancestress of countless descendants living today who can trace their origins to early New Netherland.

More about his father:
Willem Adriaenszen was born before 1615 "in possibly France, but more likely Holland," according to Ledley, although Denmark is also a possibility (see below). The date assumes that he was at least 21 at the time of his only known marriage.

Married Maria Badie, daughter of Thomas Badie and Aeltje Braconie, at probably New Amsterdam circa 1637.
Ibid., 93:197.
Also known as Willem de Cuyper (or William the cooper, his trade, as called in the marriage record of his widow, Maria Thomas, 9 Oct 1644).
John Reynolds Totten, "Van Der Beek Family Notes", New York Genealogical & Biographical Record Vol. 64, pp.229-243; 367-387 (1933): p.230.
The first record for him is dated 1636 when he and Jacques Bentyn (possibly a clue to Willem's Bennet surname) purchased 936 acres of land at Gowanus. On 26 Dec 1639, Jacques Bentyn sold his interest to Willem Adriaense. Little is known of Willem except that he is only referred to with the Bennet surname after his death, and that he was a cooper by trade. On 9 Sept. 1644, his property was patented by Gov. Kieft to Mary Thomas widow of Willem Ariaense Bennet, deceased. It was property that later was between 28th and 41st streets in Brooklyn.

On 24 November 1642 Hendrick Jansen tailor conveyed to Willem Adriaenszen "his garden dwelling and brew house," at Manhattan, for 2500 guilders, payable in three installments.

There are, in addition to the families descended from Willem Bennet, several other Bennett families of English origins, found in the early settlements of New England and in parts of New Jersey. Willem's descendants can be distinguished, at least in the earlier generations, by the appearence of a single "t" at the end of the name, as compared to a double "tt" more commonly found with the other families. Willem Bennet's origins are not certain. It is noted that in the earlier records, his sons are always recorded under the patronymic, "Willemszen, " until some time after their own marriages when they are primarily seen as "Adriaen Willems Bennet," and "Willem Willems Bennet." Willem himself, is always recorded as "Willem Adriaenszen," in other words, "Willem son of Adriaen." The Bennet surname was adopted by the sons after the English conquest of New Netherlands. In the 1698 census of Brooklyn, where five Bennets are recorded, none of them are distinguished by either of the letters "E" for English, or "F" for French. Both sons and grandsons of Willem Adriaensen took oaths of allegiance at Kings County in 1687. These oaths were generally administered by the English Royal Government to only non-English persons. Previously published accounts of Willem, by Provost (1948) and Ledley (1963) lean towards the belief that Willem was of French Huguenot descent, and conclude that while that can not be determined with certainty, he was most likely not of English descent.
Wilson V. Ledley, "Willem Adriaense Bennet of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Some of His Descendants", New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vols.93, pp. 193-204; 94, pp. 34-41, 107-114, 156-169, 205-213; Vol. 95, pp. 10-27, 155-165, 204-207 (1962-1964): 93:194-5.
A new look into the origins of Willem Adriaensz identifies some entries found in Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (Albany, 1908) regarding a Willem Adriaensz, cooper, as pertaining to Willem Adriaensen of Long Island. If the connection is correct, then it appears that Willem Adriaensen was among the first Europeans to acquire land on Long Island, doing so in probably 1636 (whether or not Jacque Bentyn, who also bought land on Long Island at this early time, is a relation of Willem or not as not yet been determined). The VRBM entries state that Willem Andriaesz was from "Elseneur," which is identified as Helsingör in Denmark. Although this can not prove Willem's ethnic origins, it does appear that he was in Denmark before arriving at New Netherland.

Willem Adriaenszen died between 9 March 1644 and 9 September 1644; His death possibly occured during the "Indian Wars" of this period, a time during which Willem's house was burned down.
