"A Rool of the names and surnames of them that haue takin oath of Allegience in ye country of Ulster by order of His Excely, Ye Governor; ye first day of September Anno Qe Domini 1689" and also upon "a list of the Freeholders with the county of Ulster, 1728" also freeholders of the town of Kingston: Aldert Ariese Roosa, AARIE ROOSA. On the former list appears the names of Jacob Van Etten and his son Jan, Johannes Westbrook and Evert Pels. In 1686, Arie Roosa, Jan Eltinge. Gerrit Aartsen, Hendrick Kip and Jacob Kip, were granted a large Tract of Land in Dutchers Co. This tract or grant is called "Arie Roosa Patent" and it embraced about 1500 acres, opposite Roudout Creek (Rondout) near Kingston, and extending along the bank of the Hudson River. Arie Roosa settled upon this grant and lived there through the remainder of his life. Many descendants are now found in Dutchers Co. as prosperous farmers and merchants.

Sheila Roosa Soto has bapt on 6 Apr 1682. (Probable birthdate).
Sheila Roosa Soto has baptism as 6 Mar 1693/94. (Possible birthdate). This is one of 31 baptisms on 3 Jun 94. Also bapt was Jan Oosterhout s/o Teunis Oosterhout & Ariaantje Roos Hoes Bapt #786. Couples witnessed for each other. As witness Arien was listed as Adriaan Rosa (with Maria Pels).
Aart Pietersen Tack was divorced by Annetje Arians Van Amsterdam on Aug 21, 1664. According to Eva Alice Scott, "on August 14, 1661, Aart Pietersen Tack and Annetje Adriensen had a son baptized, naming him Cornelis. In August (day of month is torn away), 1663, Aart Pietersen Tack and Grietjen Vooght had a daughter baptized, naming her Grietjen. The witnesses were Jacobus Jansen and Barber Andries. (Hoos Bapt#26). These two records...would seem to shed some light on the question of what became of Aart Pietersen Tack, whose property was sold, apparently in his absence, and whose wife, Annetje Arians, is said, in the record of her marriage to Jacob Jansen, to have been deserted by him. Jacob Jansen, one of the witnesses at the second baptism, would seem to be none other than Jacob Jansen De Lange, i.e. Jacob Jansen van Etten." This passage appears as footnote on page xii and xiii of EAS, Introductory to "Jacobus Jansen Van Etten".
From: "Jacob Jansen Van Etten" by Robert B. Van Atta, we receive the following analysis:
"The nature of her first husband Aert Pietersen Tack's difficulty emerges through a sequence of court cases beginning in 1662. There were several problems with employees over wages, and that November he mortgaged the grain crop to be harvested the following year. Tack apparently left before the fall of 1663, either as the result of the Indian raid or under cover of it. His wife harvested the grain and was enjoined by creditors from using the harvest (except that which the court ordered her paid for her work in harvesting).
In May 1664, further evidence of Tack's indebtedness, in this case for cattle, appeared. In July, the court took steps to condemn Tack's property for his absenting himself and to sell it to satisfy a list of creditors. In October of 1664, Jacob Jansen VanEtten, a farmhand of Tack, sued for wages due him. The following month, Jacob himself was sued to collect a debt of wheat which he admitted but explained that he couldn't pay due to being sick with fever. He was granted time until the Tack estate was settled, when he presumably could collect wages due him".
