Arien Allertsen Roosa and Maria Everts Pels

Arien Allertsen Roosa and Maria Everts Pels
Arien Allertsen Roosa was from Herwijnen, Gelderland, Netherlands. He was the son of Albert Heymans Roosa and Wyntje Ariens de Jongh. On 16 April 1660, he and his family set sail for New Netherland aboard de Bonte Koe. They settled in Wildwyck (later Kingston, Ulster, New York).
Three years later, in 1663, the village was attacked by Native Americans and Arien's eldest sister and another of the Roosa children were taken prisoners. Nevertheless, Arien and his brother, Jan, ventured out to work in the fields without permission and were caught and fined by the Schout (sheriff). Arien was still a minor at that point.
New Netherland was taken over by the English and tensions ran high between the English soldiers and the Dutch burghers throughout the colony. In 1664, Arien, his father, and Ariaen Huybertsen got into a fight with the English guard over a canoe that belonged to the Roosas. Neither party could speak the other's language very well and the conflict became physical. In 1665, Arien's father was summoned to court and many residents thought he would be arrested. A crowd, including Arien, assembled but the situation ended peacefully. Arien told the court that he was on his way to the minister with a message, saw something going on at the guardhouse, stopped briefly, and then continued his errand. In 1667, the Esopus mutiny took place as reaction to the abuses of the English commander at the Esopus, Captain Brodhead. Arien and his father were later charged as being among the key players in the mutiny. The governor banished the two Roosas and the others for their part but later reversed the sentences.
Arien married Maria Everts Pels. Maria was the daughter of Evert Everts Pels and Jannetje Sijmons.
Arie and Maria's children:
Aldert Roosa, married Petronella van Etten (the daughter of Jacob Jansen van Etten and Annetje Adriaens-see Van Etten family) 21 Jun 1696 in Kingston, Ulster, New York.[1]

    Plaintiff demands of the above mentioned defendant fines for violating the ordinance dated August 4, last, that no one should venture out to mow without consent and a proper convoy, the fines being,
    For Pieter Bruynsen,              25 gldrs.
    " Henderick Aertsen              75 "
    " Ariaen Roose,                     75 "

    " Ariaen Huybertsen,             75 "
    Cornelis Barentsen, on behalf of his farm hands above named, answers that they are not guilty and that they are not disposed to pay the fine, but that the matter must be heard and decided by the judge having jurisdiction, and requests copy thereof.
    Cornelis Barentsen Slecht's reply having been heard, the court here decides it has jurisdiction, and orders the above defendants to pay the fines in full to the plaintiff.
Vol. I, Page 95, 30 Oct 1663
    Roelof Swartwout, Schout, plaintiff, vs. Ariaen Roose and Jan Roose, defendants. Plaintiff demands from defendants a fine of one hundred gldrs., for violating the ordinance dated August 4, in that they worked in the field without permission and a convoy, and also say that they had sufficient means of defence there.
    The Council of War and Commissaries decide that, as defendants are still young and minors, they shall be excused in this case.
Vol. I, Page 176, 18 Nov 1664
    Samuel Olivier, Joris Porter, Eduard Chattelton, appearing before the hon. court, say that on last Thursday, being Nov. 3/13 (they being stationed on the redoubt as a guard), Allert Heymans came with his people for the purpose of taking a canoe from the shore which canoe they had been ordered to watch by the guard which they relieved. Ariaen Huybertsen then came and took hold of the canoe for the purpose of shoving it into the water, whereupon Samuel Olivier came with his gun for the purpose of preventing the same, and threatened to shoot said Ariaen Huybertsen. Ariaen Albertsen, in the meantime, took the small shot out of his gun, and reloaded it with ball, and Allert Heymans also challenged the guard to fight them, man against man, and even raised his axe and threatened the soldier Eduart Chattelton to hit him with the same, and make a complaint about the violence committed against them in their quality of guards at the redoubt by the aforementioned persons. Allert Heymans answers that he arrived on the bank with his people, for the purpose of launching their own canoe, and to use it for hunting, whereupon Samuel Olivier, coming from the redoubt, with his gun cocked, spoke to them. They not being able to understand him, Ariaen Huybertsen, nevertheless, intended to float the canoe, whereupon Samuel pointed the gun at his chest, whereupon he, Ariaen, pushed the gun out of the way, and took hold of his arm, and, this happening, Eduard Chattelton approached Ariaen, aforementioned, with and oar and struck at him, whereupon Joris Porter drew his sword for the purpose of separating parties. Thereupon Allert Heymans called from the wagon, "Keep quiet, I shall immediately come over to you to get the canoe afloat." When he came near the canoe, Eduard Chattelton also came with his gun, holding the thumb on the trigger and pointed to him to let the canoe alone. In the meantime, he (Heymans) took up the axe from the canoe and threatened him with the same, whereupon Eduard reversed his gun and threatened him with the butt end. In the meantime Ariaen Allerts, seeing this also took hold of his gun and loaded it with ball. Allert Heymans further went with the others to the redoubt, and there they were better informed by each other. The English, then understanding them a little (and understanding) that it wastheir own canoe, thereupon gave them the oars, and allowed the canoe to follow, and even Eduard Chattelton himself assisted them in getting the canoe afloat. They also deny having challenged the English soldiers, and further deny having taken the small shot out of the gun, but (say) that they simply loaded it with ball, because it was unloaded.
Vol. I, Page 180, 25 Nov 1664
    Willem Beeckman, Schout, Plaintiff vs. Allert Heymans, Adriaen Huybertsen and Ariaen Allertsen, Defendants
    Plaintiff demands from defendants on account of violence committed on the bank near the redoubt against the guard there, being for Allert Heymans and Ariaen Huybertsen 25 gldrs. each for the poor and for Ariaen Aelertsen 50 gldrs. for the poor, because he loaded his gun with ball, while they were having a quarrel on account of the taking away of a canoe, and sustains that defendants were not permitted to be their own judges in their own behalf. Defendants, having been informed by reading to them the complaint made on Nov. 18 last by the English soldiers, and the answers given thereupon, affirm their foregoing answer, and thereto add that the difference between them originates in their inability to at first well understand each other, the one party being English, the other Dutch. The hon. court, upon the advice of Mr. Christoffel Beresfort, commander of the local garrison, decides that defendants are not permitted to be their own judges, but that they ought to have addressed themselves to the court, and therefore sentences defendant Allert Heymans to pay 20 gldrs. to the poor and Ariaen Huybertsen 10 gldrs. in sewan.
Vol. I, Pages 236 & 238, 2 Jun 1665
    Examination of the below-mentioned persons, in regard to the turmoil on May 26 last...
    Ariaen Allertsen Roos asked, whether he had the watch last Tuesday? says, "No." What did he at the guardhouse? says that he had something to do at the minister's, and seeing some people at the guardhouse also went there, and after having delivered his message to the domine, he returned home.
This examination of the aforesaid persons by the hon. court and Bugher Council of War is adjourned till the arrival of the hon. Ld. Gov. Genl. or his order, just as the different between Allert Heymans and Daniel Butterwout was, yesterday, also adjourned till the arrival of the said Ld. Gov. Genl.

Footnotes
[1] A marriage record but no baptismal records have been found for Aldert. The reasons for including him as a son of Arien and Maria are: 1) Aldert and Petronella appear as witnesses to several of Arien and Maria's grandchildren and 2) Evert Roosa made "Myn Broeder Aldert Roosa" one of the executors to his will.
[2] No extant baptismal or marriage records are found for Jannetje. A record has been found for the second marriage of Jan van Etten, in which he is named the widower of Jannetjen Roosa (see Kingston records, #717). The following suggests that Arie and Maria are Jannetje's parents: Jan and Jannetje's eldest son and second oldest daughter were named Arien (baptism #795) and Marytje (baptism #1075). Also, Arie Roos and Maria Pels show up as witnesses to two of Jan and Jannetje's children's baptisms.
[3] The whole of this name is crossed out in corresponding list in Vol. II, and "Maria Pels" inserted.
[4] "Weynte Adriaanz d'Jong" also named as a witness in corresponding list in Vol. II.
