According to LORILUKE@@prodigy.net
The name den Jongh is Dutch for Young. Wyntie was alledgedly a widow wh en she
married Aldert. She received 320 acres of land in recognition of h er spouse's
public service. She was referred to as Wilhelmina or Lavini a. Her first
spouse's name is listed as Aagje Krom. NYG&BR IXX, January 19 39 ; Notes of
the Roosa-DeJongh Families" by Dirk De Young,former Americ an Consul at
Amsterdam, Netherlands, page 33-34

.....The Oct. 1938 issue of the NYG&BR contains an article on the Roosa-De
Jongh families of America, of interest to all who descend from Aldert or A
lert Hymanse Roosa and wife Wilhelmina De Jongh, early settlers of Ulst er
Co., New York. There are noted references to this family in previous is sues.
The author states he has authentic material on the family that trac es the
ancestry of the wife of Aldert/Albert back to 1500. This is the bra nch of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's lineage also.

The Wyntje Ariens De Jongh lineage is : 5. Adrian De Jongh born about 150 0;
4. Adrian De Jongh, born about 1530; 3. Meerten Adrians De Jongh, bo rn about
1560-70; 2. Adrian Meertensen De Jongh, born about 1600; 1. Wilhe lmina
(Wintje) Ariens De Jongh, born about 1630. Her brother, Arien Ariens en De
Jongh, was the burgomaster of Herwijnen, and held the power of attor ney of
her husband, Aldert. The following records to support the above we re
extracted from the Gerechtelijke Archiven vande Gerichtsbank van Tu il of
Gelderland, 1588-1681, the judicial archives of the District Cou rt of the
district that embraces Herwijnen.

(1.) June 29, 1664 : Arien Ariensen De Jongh (brother of Wyntje) convey ed
land in Herwijnen to Peter Jans Beuschem, by virtue of power of attorn ey
given him by Alert Hymensen Roosa on Feb. 26, 1660, and the security gi ven to
bind the transaction was Alert Hermansen's interest in the esta te of the late
Arien Meertensen De Jongh, to assure the buyer that any tax es on the same
back as far as 1626 would be paid. The estate mentioned w as apparently that
of the father of Wilhelmina De Jongh, wife of Alert Roo sa, as he would have
acted for her. This documents also indicates that Ari en Meertensen De Jongh
was the owner of the land as early as 1626. It reve als that the father of
Arien Meertensen De Jongh was Meerten.

(2.) March 3, 1660 : Alert Hymanse Roosa, livinf in Herwijnen, conveyed ha lf
a tract of land as yet undivided between heirs of Govert Ariensen De Jo ngh,
in Hellouw (a mile or so from Herwijnen) and again he pledged his int erest in
the estate of the late Arien M. De Jongh as security for the fulf illment of
the contract. Ot's further proof that the wife of Aldert was t he daughter of
Arien Meertensen De Jongh. THe DeJongh family owned large f owler preserves in
Hellouw in the seventeenth century.

(3.) March 20, 1637 : Jan Cornelise van Munster conveyed land in Hello uw to
Meerten Arien De Jongh, from which we may infer that Meerten De Jong h, of an
earlier period in that locality, was the father of Arien Meertens en De Jongh,
the father of Wilhelmina De Jongh.

(4.) April 26, 1632 : Joris Ariensen De Jongh made a conveyance of la nd in
Herwijnen, and gave as security for the contract his interest in t he estate
of his grandfather, Joris Ariensen De Jongh. This document prov es that the
above conveyance was, as early as 1632, in Herwijnen, had a gr eat grandfather
Adrian De Jongh, who must have beeen born circa 1500 or ea rlier, and who was
probably the great, great grandfather of Wilhelmina. Ot her De Jongh familis
in Holland claim that (Nederlandsche Leeuw, 1922, pa ge 283, & Vol. I, pg
457).

(5.) Jan. 11, 1631 : Adrien Evertsen Groot, an heir of Jan Adriensen Groo t,
conveyed land in Herwijnen to Adrian Adriensen Joriszoon De Jongh - Adr ian,
son of Adrian, son Joris, son of Adrian De Jongh, which again thro ws the De
Jongh ancestry of that locality back to Adrian De Jongh born n ot later than
1500. Although the name of this family of De Jonghs was some times spelled de
Jong or D'Jong, in the judicial archives it was almost al ways spelled De
Jongh. THe signatures were invariably written De Jongh. T he name Adrian is
also found in practically all branches of the family. T he author states that
he has tried in vain to research the family origi ns to the DeJonghe family of
Ghent and Bruges, where their arms were regis tered as early as 1280, one of
the patrician families of Flanders. It's h is belief, that this line does
spring from that origin, where the letter " h" in our name had its origin. THe
families of the name of Holland orig in rarely used the letter "h". In
Herwijnen, and elsewhere, the de Jong hs generally held official positions
where they resided.

On 20 March 1637 Jan Corneliuse van Munster conveyed land in Hellouw to Me
erten Arien's De JONGH, from which we may infer that Meerten De JONG H, of an
earlier period in that locality, was the father of  Arien Meerten sen De
JONGH, the father of Wilhelmina De JONGH.

On 3 March 1660 Alert Hymensen ROOSA, living in Herwijnen, conveyed in Hel
louw in the seventeenth century half of a tract of land as yet
undivided between the heirs of Govert Ariensen De JONGH, in Hellouw (a mi le
or so from Herwijnen), and again he pledged his interest in the esta te of the
late Arien Meertensen De JONGH as security for the fulfillme nt of the
contract; it is further proof that the wife of Alert or Aldert H ymensen ROOSA
was the daughter of Arien Meertensen De JONGH; the De JON GH family owned
large fowler preserves

A grandson of Adrian Meertensen De JONGH, the father of Wilhelmina De JONG H,
namely Dominus (Reverend) Martinus Adrianuse De JONGH, born in 1704, be came a
very noted Dutch Reformed minister and was the minister of the Dut ch church
in London for many yaers, and a son, a grandson and a great gran dson were all
great preachers in their day

Although sometimes spelled de Jong or D'Jong, it is almost always spell ed De
Jongh in judicial archives and as signatures.  This is true in extra cted
documents from old family wills preserved in Gorinchem, a few miles f rom
Herwijnen, where the family name was almost invariably spelled De Jong h.  The
name Adrian is also found in practically all branches of the famil y, and
records in Gorinchem reveal "Adrian De Jonghs" earlier even than He rwijnen.

Some sources have tried in vain to trace the origin of this De Jongh fami ly
back to the De Jonghs of Ghent and Bruges, where the arms were register ed as
early as 1280, one of the patrician families in Flanders. It is my b elief,
however, that we do spring from that origin, where the letter " h" in our name
had its origin.  The families of the name of Holland orig in rarely used the
letter "h".  In Herwijnen, and elsewhere, these De Jong hs generally held
official positions where they resided.

On 11 January 1631 Adriaen Evertsen GROOT, heir of Jan Adriensen GROOT, co
nveyed land in Herwijnen to Adrian Adriensen Joriszoon De JONGH-Adrian, s on
of 28572-Adrien, son of 57488-Joris, son of 114976-Adrian De JONGH, whi ch
again throws the De JONGH ancestry of that locality back to Adrian De J ONGH
born not later than 1500.

On 26 April 1632 Joris Adriensen De JONGH made a conveyance of land in Her
wijnen, and gave as security for the contract his interest in the esta te of
his grandfather, Joris Ariensen De JONGH; this document proves th at the
conveyor above was, as early as 1632, in Herwijnen, had a great gra ndfather
Adrian De JONGH, who must have been born about 1500 or earlier, a nd who was
probably the great great grandfather of Wilhelmina Ariens De JO NGH
