Children Names notes for 8G GM Zytian Liuwes
I have seen the names of three of the children of Gerret and Zytian mentioned several times in the records of the Germantown area in the early 1700’s -- Wilhelmina, Cornelius and William.
We know that Wilhelmina Dewees married Nicholas Rittenhouse in New York in 1689 and moved with him to Germantown shortly thereafter. And also by the later 1690’s and early 1700’s, several other Dewees names began to appear in Germantown including Garret and Zytian who seem to have been the parents and Cornelius and William who seem to have been brothers of Wilhelmina.
It was the next generation of Dewees who were more prominently mentioned in the records of Germantown.

My Comments notes for Gerret Hendricks (Spouse 1)
Both Gerret Hendricks Dewees and Zytian Dewees were named in Germantown land records -- he in 1698 when he purchased 50 acres there and she and he when in 1701, Zytian widow of Gerret Hendrick Dewees, represented by her appointed attorney, Nicholas Rittenhouse, sold half of that lot and then later sold the other half.
