Notes

• "The earliest known Aten is Hendrick, born in Holland about 1590. His son Adriaen, the father of Annetje, came to America in 1651."
• Annetje Aten, wife of Thomas Skillman and mother of his children, was a communicant member of Newtown (Ref. Dutch) Church, 1741. Her parents, March 20, 1696, made a joint will, dividing their estate at death equally among their children, except that that Maritje (bap. at Flatbush Dutch Church, March 31, 1678) was given a double portion, she remaining unmarried and having chief care of the father and mother, perhaps. The will of Thomas2 Skillman (Records of Kings County and Queens), dated Feb.13[note 1], 1739, witnessed by Barnadus Van Zandt, John Rapalje, and Cornelis Berrien, Jr., probated July 4, 1740, names his wife, Ann, and all their then living children. Two had died young.
