Introduction

The majority of these records are for the descendants of Jan Pieterse Meby, the son of Pieter Casparszen van Naerden and Aechtje Jans, born in 1654 (baptized Oct. 4, 1654 in the Reformed Church of New Amsterdam).

All records contained in this file are verified, primary records from Albany, Schenectady, Montgomery and Herkimer Counties in the State of New York. Certainly, not every record from these counties is included. Many church records are incomplete or have been destroyed. In particular, no records exist for Albany prior to mid-1683; no records exist for Schenectady prior to 1694; there is an 18 year gap (from 1794 to 1812) in the St. John's Reformed Church records; a 15 year gap (late 1795 through 1810 in the records of the German Flats Reformed Church; and virtually all of the pre-1800 records of the Reformed Calvinist Church Of Canajoharie (AKA Fort Plain or Sand Hill) have not survived the passage of time.

However, this collection is believed to contain all of those records that have survived. The primary focus was to capture the records from the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. Records from the last three quarters of the 19th century were included for convenience, but are clearly far from complete. Starting before the turn of the century in 1800, many Mabie families began moving westward, out of the area covered by this research.

In addition to the church records, some will abstracts have been included where available. (The will information is printed in green.) In most instances, the wills have proven to be very helpful in determining the relationships between parents, children and spouses. In a few cases, available death, burial or tombstone data was also helpful and is included. And in one critical case, a bible record was used to establish births.

Wherever possible, each child has been assigned a unique number, based on their parents and their order of birth. For example, since Jan Pieterse was the second child of his generation, he is #2. His son Pieter (the third child born to Jan Pieterse) is #2-3, while Abraham (the seventh child born to Jan Pieterse) is #2-7. Pieter's third child John is #2-3-3. You will note that each succeeding generation adds one digit. The starting point for these assignments was R. Robert Mutrie's, 6000 New York Ancestors: A Compendium of Mabie Research, Log Cabin Publishing (Ridgeway, ON: 1986). This book includes a compilation of the early generations as they were known to researchers in 1986. [R. Robert Mutrie, Editor, The Long Point Settlers Journal. Log Cabin Publishing (Ridgeway, ON: 1986). Both the book and the ongoing journals are available from R. Robert Mutrie, 244 Maple Leaf Avenue North, Ridgeway, ON.] However, several deviations from all previously published sources have been documented within this file.

PLEASE NOTE: All names are spelled as found in the records. Therefore, a global search of this file by name will not necessarily locate the appropriate records.

Not every "Mabie" record contained in this file is for descendants of Jan Pieterse. In particular, there is a Thomas Mebi, who first surfaces in 1730, and his descendants. Each record associated with this line is identified by the label "X". There may also be some records where the names Mabee and Maley have been interchanged. This line is denoted within the file by the label "C". Finally, there is a line that stems from a Dorothy Pickert and her husband "Jan Pieter Mebi", as reflected in two baptism records in 1730 and 1731. Since Jan Pieterse Mebie died in 1725, there is an unsolved mystery as to the identity of this second Jan Pieter. Each record associated with this line is identified by the label "JP". As with the principal line, where known, each child is assigned a unique number, e.g. JP-1-3-2.

Each church record is identified by type as an M for a Marriage or a B for a Baptism. The date in the leftmost column is the date of the record. Where available, birth date information has been provided separately. Following the record type, each church, for which records are included in this file, is identified by a unique number placed in parentheses. Clicking on the source number will take you to a file which will identify the source of the record.

The descendants of Jan Pieterse Meby

There are no surviving records of baptisms for 4 of Jan Pieterse's 10 children or for Jan's marriage to Anna Borsboom. Their first two children, Eva and Margrietje, undoubtedly were born prior to the time that the records cover (mid-1683 for Albany, 1694 for Schenectady). Therefore, since there is no certain way to determine who was the eldest, I have taken these two in the order in which they were married: Eva first. So, Eva is identified throughout this file as (2-1) and Margrietie is (2-2). The third child of Jan and Anna was son Pieter:

1686

 1/20    B (10) Pieter (2-3), father Jan Pietersz
                       witnesses: Abraham van Trigt, Lysbeth van Trigt

The next two children of Jan and Anna were Jacob and Tryntje. Jonathan Pearson, in his Genealogies of the First Settlers of Schenectady, gives Tryntje's age at her death in 1773 as 82, placing her birth in 1691. In the case of Jacob, we know, from the will of Jan (see 1725) that Jacob was his second son, placing his birth prior to that of Abraham in 1695. Since Tryntje was presumably born in 1691, and Anna was born in 1693, it is most likely that Jacob was born between Pieter and Tryntje. Therefore, Jacob is identified as (2-4) and Tryntje is (2-5). Note that Pearson has incorrect birth (3/1/1698) and baptism (5/5/1700) dates listed for Jacob. The birth date is completely inconsistent with the will of Jan. I have reviewed the original baptism records and Jacob's baptism is not recorded. It is possible that Jacob was an adopted child. Anna's sister, Tryntje, gave birth to an illegitimate son named Jacob, of whom there is no further record. One theory is that this child was adopted by Jan and Anna as their own.

1725

NOTE: Will of Jan Pieterse Mebie (2), late of Schenectady, dated 4/3/1725 and proved 9/13/1725, 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. The fact that Jan died in 1725 has been substantiated through other contemporaneous documents.

                       witnesses: Gisbert van Brakel and Maritie Vroman, DOB: 2/20

NOTE: On 2/19/1726, Pieter Meebie (2-3) signed a so-called Quit Claim (Albany County Deeds, book 6, page 215, recorded 9/20/1733) in which Pieter, decribed as the eldest son of John Meebie deceased, relinguished all rights to the land on the South side of the Mohawk River which were left to Jacob Meebie (2-4), described as John's second son, in the Will of John Meebie dated 4/3/1725, in exchange for two Pounds current money.

                       witnesses: John Collins, Maregrita Schuyler and Metie Meebie

1729

NOTE: The margins of the original records of the Schenectady Church for 1729 and 1730 have deteriorated and the dates did not survive.

 ?/?     B (11) Arent (2-3-4), parents: Pieter Moebi and Susanna Vedder
                       witnesses: Simon Vedder

1730

 ?/?     B (11) Achien (2-8-7), parents: Pieter Daniels van Antwerpen and Engeltje Mebi
                       witnesses: Harmen van Antwerpen and Cornelia Potman

                       witnesses: Cornelius van Dyk and Maria Mebi, DOB: 2/23

NOTE: Not accounted for in Jacob's will of 1755. Must have died young.

 ?/?     B (11) Achien (JP-2), parents: ( )er Mebi and ( )ea Pikket
                       witnesses: Hendrik Hagedoorn and Antje Stevens

NOTE: This section of the Schenectady Church records for 1730 has been partially destroyed. The date and the beginning of the parent’s names did not survive. See below (JP-3) for more. This couple definitely had a son named Joseph. For reason given under (JP-3) below, it is believed that Joseph was their eldest child. The Schenectady baptism records for 1728 indicate a gap of some 7 months, so perhaps Joseph (JP-1) was baptized at that time.

 ?/?     B (11) Jacobus (2-5-8), parents: Arent Sam. Brat and Catrina Mebi
                       witnesses: Samuel Brat and Margrieta Meinders

 9/30    M (01) Thomas Maeby (X), j.m. v. N. Albanie, met Sarah Couper, j.d. v. N. York, woonen alhier.

NOTE: The descendants of Thomas all used the surname Mabb. This is a separate and independent family. These records are contained in this file because of past confusion, in particular on the part of Jonathan Pearson.

1731

 8/29    B (11) Hendrikus (2-9-5), parents: Cornelius van Dyk and Marytje Mebi
                       witnesses: Nicolaus Schuiler and Elsje Wendel

10/3     B (11) Jacobus (JP-3), parents: Jan Pieter Mebi and Dorothea Pikket
                       witnesses: Jacobus Peek sr & wife Elisabeth Peek

NOTE: Jan Pieterse Mebie died in 1725. Therefore, this appears to be some other Mabie that has entered the Schenectady area. At this stage, the identity of this new Jan Pieter Mebie can not be absolutely determined. However, it is possible that Pieter (2-3) may have had an illegitimate son with Anna Peek in 1708 (child’s baptismal name Jan Pieter). Jacob’s brother Joseph (JP-1) is thought to be older than Jacob simply because his children were older than Jacob’s, and therefore, it is assumed that he married earlier. Ultimately, the comparative ages of Joseph and Jacob make no difference. It also appears certain that this couple had two other sons, Bartholomew (JP-4) and Lewis (JP-5). (See below for more information.)

1732

 2/6     B (11) Rebecca (2-8-8), parents: Pieter van Antwerpen and Engeltje Mebi
                       witnesses: Arent S. Brat and Catrina Mebi

 2/20    B (11) Albert (2-7-5), parents: Abraham Mebi and Annatje Vedder
                       witnesses: Harm Albertze Vedder and Cathrina S. Brat

NOTE: According to his tombstone in the Schenectady burial ground between Front and Green Streets, Albert died March 1732. (See 2-7-8 below.)

 3/12    B (11) Margrieta (X-1), parents: Thomas Mebi and Sara Kouper
                       witnesses: Jelis van Vorst and Elisabeth Mebi

The fourth, Jacob’s daughter, was not included as one of his 5 children in his will which was dated 4/25/1755, indicating that she died before the will was written. The name Jackemeyntje suggests, however, that this was, in fact, Jacob’s daughter Margarita.

 1/31    B (11) Sarah (2-3-1-10), parents: Abraham Van Antwerpe and Annaatje Mebie
                       witnesses: Abraham Yates and Sarah Yates

 2/10    B (no record found) David (JP-1-4), parents: Joseph Mabie and Catherine Schuyler

NOTE: This record is based on David’s pension application, written in 1834 (#R-7058) in which he stated that his birth date was 2/10/1762 and that he was baptized in the Presbyterian Church at Fort Plain. The Fort Plain records for this time have not survived. Joseph had a number of children in addition to David, including 2 daughters (Margaret and Cathlein) who were married prior 1781, and a third daughter (Dorothy) who was married in 1783, a daughter (Alida) married in 1784, and a daughter Anna married before 1788. Therefore, it is estimated that David was child #4. The identification of the mother as Catherine Schuyler is based on an Oneida Claim of Pre-emption in which Jacob Schuyler referred to "his brother-in-law Joseph Mabie" as well as on the 1814 Quit Claim that identifies the children (and their spouses) of Joseph and Catherine as Schuyler heirs. This 1814 Quit Claim is critical to identifying the children of Joseph whose names appear in these records: Cathlein (married Peter H. Ehle), Margaret (married Joseph Laux), Dorothy (married Peter Marsh), and Anna (married Garret Van Slyck). A son of Joseph, named Nicholas (JP-1-7), also appears on the Quit Claim. Not on the Quit Claim, but still believe to be children of Joseph, are David (married Gertrude Freymauer) and Alida (married John Meyer).

NOTE: Probably died young. (See 2-7-8-7 below.)

12/5     M (Bible) Jacob Meebie (JP-3) and Christiana van de Eerwaerde

NOTE: This data is taken from Jacob’s family bible, apparently written in the first person by him. This bible record states that the marriage was performed by Dom. Johan Casparius Lappius, who was then serving as the minister for the Reformed German Church in Sand Hill (Canajoharie). The early baptism and marriage records for this church have not survived. Therefore, this bible is used to document this marriage and most of Jacob’s children. This bible record, written in German, has been mis-interpreted by some as indicating that the wife of Jacob was named "Ehle Veronica Christina Van de Edward." This is an incorrect translation. It is also worth noting that nothing has been found that would indicate that Christina’s surname was "Fetland", as some books indicate.

1764

NOTE: A map of the Van Horne Patent, showing the houses on the South side of the Mohawk River, dated 10/9/1764, shows the house of Joseph Mabie (JP-1) adjacent to that of the widow Schuyler. The Van Horne Patent extended upstream from the Montgomery County area into what is now Herkimer County. The original of the map is located at the New York State Office of General Services, Albany.

                       witnesses: Albert A. Vedder and Neeltje Banker

11/19    M (11) Cornelius Mebie (2-4-8), Schenectady, and Hester Groot, Schenectady

12/20    M (11) Lowis Mebie (JP-5), Maquasland and Nancy Pouwell, Maquasland

NOTE: The term "Maquasland" meant "Mohawk territory" or "out in the frontier". Some genealogies state that Louis was a son of Abraham. Pearson does not. Lewis was a Loyalist, a Sergeant with Butler’s Rangers, who moved to Ontario in 1783 with his wife and five children. Lewis’ was buried in the Mc Afee Church Graveyard, "Lewis Mabee, died Oct. 12th, 1823, aged 85." Thus, he was born in 1738 or 1739. The graveyard is located on the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario. In a Loyalist petition filed on 8/30/1787, Lewis referred to his uncle, Lewis Clement. This definitely ties Lewis Mabee to the family of Joseph Clement and Anna Peek (Lewis Clement was their son). Another probable member of the JP line is Bartholomew, whose name appears in militia lists from the 1760s. Therefore, I have listed Bartholomew and Lewis as JP-4 and JP-5, respectively, although Bartholomew’s age relative to Joseph, Jacob and Achien remains unknown. Also unknown are any other daughters.

1768

NOTE: The Will of Peter Mabee (2-3) dated 3/2/1768, is referenced in other documents (see 2 deeds under 1799 below) but has never been found.

 3/6     B (11) Susanna (2-3-9-1), parents: Pieter Mebie and Alida Peek

                       witnesses: Abraham van Antwerpe and Annaatje van Antwerpe

11/22    B (10) Hanna (C-1), parents John Maby and Christine Tremper

NOTE: This John Maby is almost certainly a mistranscription of the records for John Maley of Albany. However, since the records alternate the spelling as Maley and Maby, I have included them in this file for completeness.

 9/7    Joseph Meby (JP-1) voted for Ant. Van Fechten for Sherrif of Tryon County. Harmanus Meby (2-3-7) voted for Johannes Frey for the same position. It appears that Frey won the election.

NOTE: The will of Harmanus (2-3-7) (see 1800) clearly states that he had a daughter named Susannah, but no record of a baptism has been found. This is an approximation of Susanna’s birth date, given later data.

                       witnesses: Walter Switts and Sarah Switt

NOTE: Records from St. George’s Church give child’s name as Maria. This is apparently in error, based on Peter’s will and the birth, after his death, of a daughter Maria.
