• Notes

  SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.) The next major source is a Family Bible (see enclosed) in the DAR library in Washington DC. This Bible was originally that of Robert Roseboom (born in 1693, died 1764) and Ryghie Roseboom (original notes written in Dutch). They were 1st cousins as indicated by the dates and names in appendix c and d, Brief History ... and married in 1743, when she would have been 43 years old. Not surprisingly, they died without offspring. Robert's will was probated in 1764 and mentions only his wife, brothers Hendrick, Ahasverus, Geysbert, John, and sister Elsje. Apparently their Bible was passed to Robert Roseboom, the grandson of Robert Roseboom's older brother Hendrick (born Dec. 16 1690, who married Debora (?). I recall looking up Robert Roseboom's will in the DAR library about 1972 and remember that it said that he was leaving to (?) "my lands in Poughkeepsie, of which I am not now in possession". This ties him to the Appendix (h) in "A Brief History of ....." and an oral tradition in my family that we once owned the city of Poughkeepsie. This land was acquired from the Rosebooms in a well-known court case where the local Episcopalian Church sued and acquired the land since the owners were not living anywhere near it and, they argued, had abandoned it. The other Bible entries were apparently recorded by Robert Roseboom, and start with "My father, Garret Roseboom born July 19, 1722." This fits with the Somerset County Historical Quarterly vol. 4, p. 143, where a Gerrit was baptized by Hendrick and Debora Roseboom on August 17, 1722 -Readington Reformed Church. The second generation Hendrick mentioned in "Brief History ...." above born in 1790 would have been 33 years old.
