TRYNTIE JACOBS' FOUR. HUSBANDS
To write her genealogy would Lyle in Enterprise and News edi- require a page or two of the tion of May 12th'as to identities Enterprise and News but her name | and lineages of certain persons
illustrates the habit of the re- corders of olden days who regis- tered names as they were pro- nounced. It is said that forty dif- ferent ways of spelling Herkimer are found in the written history of the Mohawk Valley.
Now Tryntie is the Dutch dim- utive for Catherine and one finds it written in various ways in the early records as Tryntie, Treyntie, Trenica, Trintia and Katherin.
Tryntie's second name shows ac- cording to the Dutch custom of ter of one Jacob. But she may be the time that she was the daugh- identified also as Tryntie, Jacob's wife, just as she was also known as Tryntie Walings or Walings' wife. Then we run into the pleas- ures of researching by finding this family name spelled Walling, Walinghs, Waaallingh, Wallens, Wallingen, Walichz, Walichs, Wal- ichsen, Waallingen and Wolichs.
Nothing is known of Tryntie's place of birth or date but her first husband came from Winkle, a small town near Hoorne in North Holland and he returned to Hoorne in 1633. A brother, Symon Walings, was born Wiingaerden, Friesland. Probably Tryntie was born somewhere in this district. Her oldest daughter was married in 1663 ,hence Tryntie was born before 1623. Her youngest son was born in 1665 so she was not born earlier than 1620.
She married Jacob Walings van Winkle in Holland in 1642 and a daughter, Marritie was born at . Hoorne in 1643, another, Grietie in 1645 at Wiingaerden and a son, I copied this same inscription 40 years ago and I also made the age as 45 and the Nov. 2 as Nov. 12. As I recall the inscription was on somewhat illegible then. Waling in 1647 in Holland. In 1648 Jacob Walings van Winkle and Tryntie and the three child- ren came to Rensselaerwyck the Hudson. On Oct.| 1, 1650 he Benjamin Fox was a son of
John C. Fox and Elizabeth Dief- endorf. He married March 8.
1818 Catherine Staats. They had children: Caroline born 1820, mar- ried Richard A. North. Record of one child, Mary Elizabeth 1839- 1841. No further data. (a) Elizabeth born 1823
mar- ried Aaron Brower. No further re- cord.
b) Catherina born 1827, said to have moved to Chicago and died there unmarried. .
The above John C .Fox should not be confused with another John Fox also a son of a Chat-topher Fox, the births and deaths -^ these two Johns being fairly close to- Fox is:
1. Johan Phillip Fox, born Ger- many ca 1660, Palatine Immi- grant 1710, died post 1737, mar- ried Anna Eva. Y ...

ANSWER TO LYLE QUERY
In reply to query of Marie
buried in cemetery No .10 near old Palatine Church, the following is submitted: The John Fox in question is John C. Fox. His lineage is:
1. Johan Phillip Fox ,born Ger- many ca 1660, Palatine Immi- grant 1710, to Schoharie in 1712, died post 1737, married Anna Eva. 2. Johan William Fox born Ger- many ca 1690-85, 1710 immigrant, Stone Arabia patentee of Lot No. 7, 1723, died between 1774 and 1784.
3. Major Christopher William
Fox, born 1744, died 1820, mar-
ried 29 March 1768 Elizabeth
Hess.
4. John C. Fox, born 1769, died 1812. Birth and marriage records as follows:
"Aug. 23, 1791, John Fox son of Christopher Fox to Elizabeth Diefendorf, daughter John Jacob Diefendorf. Esq. (S. A. Ref.)
Tombstone inscription as quoted by Miss Lyle is: "John Fox died Nov. 2, 1812. Age 45 years and 8 days" which fails to check with birth date by 2 years. His correct age was 43 years and 8 days.
Either the inscription was incor- rectly carved or weather erosion has rendered the inscription par- tially indistinct, causing the 3 in 43 to be read as 5.

They had a son, Symon who was born in New Jer- sey (Pavonia). In Oct. 1654_Jacob acquired a tract of land (25 mor- gen or 50 A.) at Pavonia. On Jan. 2, 1656 their sixth and last child Annetie, was born. Jacob died in 1657 (?), for on August 17 of that year his widow published the banns of her second marriage to 29, Jacob Stoffelsen. On Dec. 1660 a son, Stoffel was baptized in the old Bergen, N. J. church of which Tryntie was a member. On Jan. 28, 1665 a son, Jacobus, was baptized in the Dutch church of New York. Stoffelsen died in 1667 and the widow soon after again married Michiel Tades of Bergen, N. J. who died in 1670.
Still, willing to be married she became the wife of Caspar Styn- metz (March 15, 1671.) At
