By William Henry Van Benschoten pg. 414 Antje Delva was the daughter of Anthony Delva, or D'Elba, and Jannatje Hillebrants who were Roman Catholics and just possibly the only persons of that faith in the little Protestant community. This Antoni D'Elba it was who figured so prominently in the socalled "Esopus mutiny" in 1667 when the Dutch burghers resisted the insolence of the English soldiery. When the English Capt. Brodhead was seeking to induce some of the younger burghers to go to Albany as reinforcements to the English garrison there, Antonio d'Elba voiced the public feeling by saying: "Shall we go fight our friends and leave our enemies at home?" For his part in this disturbance he was sentenced to banishment; which sentence was mitigated, however, and he continued on at Kingston. It seems very much in character that at the public sale on Sep. 9, 1665, of the effects of "Gysbert Van Imbroch, surgeon, deceased," "Antonio D'Elba" should be found buying "4 small bags holding small shot, ball and some flints for 30 Gldrs;" also, "a couple of canon (een paer canons), two powder horns and a shot bag with a belt-15 gldrs." He was of French or Italian origin, and his name would suggest from the island of Elba. We find that on Feb. 10, 1669, and again on Feb. 9, 1675, he had acquired property in the Corporation of Kingston. We know he possessed property there in 1680, as it was on Dec. 8th of that year that the Hon. Court decided that the town clock should be placed on his lot and decreed "that the bell should be rung at noon and in the evening." On Feb. 6, 1688, Louis DuBois conveys to him a house and lot in Kingston south of William De la Montanye's. When the stockade was ordered renewed in 1671, the portion falling to Anthony Delba, we find, was "5 rods." On Sep. 1, 1689, when the Oath of Allegiance was being administered at Kingston by the English authorities Anthony very consistently refused it: "These ffowing persons were present when ye Oath was Agivin but Did Reffues to taike it"-he, the first on the list. Previous to her marriage with Gerrit Antje had married on Dec. 22, 1695. Lucas De Wit who died in 1703. Lucas' will, dated Feb. 15, 1702-3, specifies: "My wife, Antje, shall have the just half of the residue in house, land, real and personal property, as well as all that is coming to me from my father, as his testament will show * * If my wife shall remarry, she is to appoint guardians over the minors and to deliver to them one half part of the estate. If she remain unmarried she is to possess everything." http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/12280680/person/-176302910 Annatje Delva Birth 1675 in Kingston, Ulster, New York, United States Death 1700 in Kingston, Ulster, New York, United States Parents Anthony Delva 1658 - 1730 Jannatje Hillebrants 1662 - 1726 http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=agbi&h=2525400&ti=0&indiv=try&gss=pt&ssrc=pt_t18560733_p1892139922_kpidz0q3d1892139922z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgplz0q3dpid American Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI) about Antje Dewitt Name: Antje Dewitt Birth Date: 1675 Birthplace: New York Volume: 43 Page Number: 213 Reference: Gen.
