17th Century Ennes Wild Cards

I've been collecting intriguing references to the surname variants of Ennes for some time now. Entries 1 - 5 are true wild cards with no known connection to the William Ennes family of Kingston & the Minisink.  Entries 6 & 7 have a minimal relation between the Ennes & Goederus families - a bequest and a common residency, Kingston, for a few short years lead me to believe there may be an in-law connection. Updates will appear upon discovery.

Interesting to find an Ennesen coupled with a Gomaers in the Brazil Colony - variants of both surnames, Ennes & Gumaer appear in the Minisink:

Minisink Valley Genealogy entry:
Jeremy Kettle's Bequest to William Ennes, 1703
"...It is worth noting here that Jeremy Kettle's wife Catharina is a Guderis var. Goderis, Goderus, Gouderus, Goederus. Their first son, Jeremy was baptised in Kingston in 1675.  In 1683 a New Amsterdam marriage is recorded for Frans Goderus, jm van N. Yorke; Rebecca Ennes, jd van Amsterdam.  Two of the Goderus - Ennes children, Rachel  and Jacomyntie, would be baptized in Kingston in 1684 & 1685 respectively, thereafter this young family appears in the New Amsterdam records as residents, along with Sara Ennes and her husband Barent Hyben, on Hoogh Straat (High Street).

Dutch-Colonies-L discussion posits Catharina Guderis Kettle is elder sister to Frans Goderus:
Notes for JOOST GODERUS:
From: dkoenig@library.berkeley.edu (Dorothy Koenig)

You will want to read the article "Joost Goderis, New Amsterdam
Burgher, Weighmaster, and Dutch Master Painter's son" by Elva Kathleen
Lyon. It appeared in the October 1992 issue of "The New York Genealogical
& Biographical Record", Volume 123, Number 4, pages 193-202....
Joost was the son of Johannes/Hans Goderis and Tanneken van Goorel/Gorel,
the daughter of Hans van Gorel from Brabant and Josyntie Gelis.

Johannes Goderis was a master painter of marine and river scenes in the
early 1600s. He was the son of Joris Godderis -- who lived in Haarlem but
who was originally from Paschendale in Flanders (now in Belgium) -- and
his wife, Maurintgen Lybaerts. They were married before 1600.

In the last paragraph of the article cited above the author says, "[Joost
Goderis ... and his wife Jocomijntie Frans ... may also have had] a
daughter "Catharina Guderis", wife of Jeremiah Kettel..."

Jeremy Kettle's Bequest to William Ennes, 1703

Traces of William Ennes, Sr. are scarce, so happening upon the Ulster County, N.Y. Probate Records in the Office of the Surrogate, Vol. 1, added an interesting if minor piece to the puzzle. The variant William Annis is repeatedly named in the 1703/4 Will of Jeremy Kettle of Marbletown. No indication is given on the nature of the gift or bequest to William but the tone of the Will is doubtless an effort to make good on a promise.  Note Schepel is the Dutch unit of measurement for bushel.  Bushels of wheat were also used as payment on mortgages at this time. The inventory of Kettle's estate was completed in 1707.



It is worth noting here that Jeremy Kettle's wife Catharina is a Guderis var. Goderis, Goderus, Gouderus, Goederus. Their first son, Jeremy was baptised in Kingston in 1675.  In 1683 a New Amsterdam marriage is recorded for Frans Goderus, jm van N. Yorke; Rebecca Ennes, jd van Amsterdam.  Two of the Goderus - Ennes children, Rachel  and Jacomyntie, would be baptized in Kingston in 1684 & 1685 respectively, thereafter this young family appears in the New Amsterdam records as residents, along with Sara Ennes and her husband Barent Hyben, on Hoogh Straat (High Street).

Deeds 1685-1709 Vol AA (which includes Wills) is available on FamilySearch.org.  The complete Will with additional information on the payment terms to William is found on volume page 327 :

I give and bequeath unto William Annis ye Just and full summe of one hundred and twinty schipples of wheat to bee payd unto him by my Children Jeremy Richard Susan & Elisabeth in manner as follows the first payment to bee two years after my decease then each to pay him tenn schipples of wheat and ye two years following each to pay him yearly tenn schipples.*
