NOTE: The surviving Albany RDC records start in August 1683. It is clear from later marriage records that prior to that date, Jan Pieterse and his wife, Anna Borsboom, had two daughters, Eva (2-1) and Margrietje (2-2).
Below is a chronological listing of all baptism records for the children of Jan Pieterse Mebie.
1/20/1686
Baptism: (10) Pieter (2-3), parents: Jan Pietersz., no mother listed;
witnesses: Abraham van Trigt, Lysbeth Van Trigt.
4/16/1693
Baptism: (10) Annetje (2-6), parents: Jan Pieterse Mebi and Antje P. Bosboom;
witnesses: Jan Hendriksz. Vrooman, Cornelia Pietersz. Van Olinda.
NOTE: Between Pieter (2-3) and Annetje (2-6), Jan and Anna had two other children whose baptisms have not survived: Jacob (2-4) and Tryntje (2-5). An examination of the original records of the Schenectady Reformed Church confirms that, in Pearson’s "First Settler’s of Schenectady", Jacob’s birth and baptismal dates are not correctly identified. Since virtually all previous genealogies have relied on Pearson’s data for Jacob, they are incorrect.
6/26/1695
Baptism: (11) Abraham (2-7), parents: Jan Pietersz Mabi and Annetje Bosboom;
witnesses: Gerrit Simonz and Antje Sanders.
11/10/1697
Baptism: (11) Engeltje (2-8), parents: Jan Mabi and Annetje Borsboom;
witnesses: Jacobus Peek and Jannetje Reyerz.
5/5/1700
Baptism: (11) Maria (2-9), parents: Jan Mabi and Anna Borsboom;
witnesses Jacobus van Dyck and Sara Peek.
10/7/1704
Baptism: (11) Metje (2-10), parents: Jan Meby and Antye Boosboom;
witness Lysebit Tonissen
1725
The will of Jan Pieterse Mebie (2), dated April 1725 and proved August 1725, states that he had 10 children: three sons: Pieter (2-3) (the eldest), Jacob (2-4), and Abraham (2-7) (the youngest), and 7 daughters, of whom only Margaret (2-2) is named.
