     Joris succeded to the paternal estate on Flushing Bay and acquired several other farms by deeds dated 27 Mar 1729.¹
     NOTE: BC-Families Brinkerhoff file and the Brinkerhoff book have Joris Abrahams as married to Annetje Teunisse Bogert, daughter of Teunis G. Bogert (many children); but BC-Families Bogert (H-Z) File has Annetje married to Jorisz Janszen Brinkerhoff (but with the same dates, no children listed). The Brinkerhoff file also has a Joris Abrahams married to Annetje Coevers (with a son Hendrik b. 1709, m. Lammertje Rapalye, but Joris and Annetje Teunisse also have a son Hendrik (also b. 1709, m. Klaasje Kornelis). The Riker File assigns the children to Annetje Coevers, but does not name them (aside from Isaac, being the fifth child). It seems that this all should be the same person. It is possible that the name Annetje Coevers was only used in relation to Hendrick, and that Hendrick was married twice, but this is all speculation, and needs more study.⁶
