No wills or death dates are found. Since there are no probable relatives as witnesses at the baptisms of their children, it is presumed that neither Wessel nor his wife Geertie had any family in the colony.
There are numerous references to Wessel Evertszen in the early records of New Amsterdam, like most of the early settlers, he was somewhat contentious & he appears in the court records as a householder, fisher & trader. (See records of New Amsterdam 1653-1674, Berthold Fernow editor 1897 NYC.) Report by Harriet Stryker-Rhoda, noted Dutch Researcher.

Notes:

* It has been erroneously stated that Geertie Bout was a daughter of Jan Evertsen Bout and Tryntje Simond De Witt. There is no marriage recorded for Jan Evertsen Bout in NYDC, but he witnessed Bap,'s in the church from 1641 to 1669. He did not witness any baptism of a child of Wessel & Geertie as he would if she had been his daughter or a close relative.
