     Theunis Jacobse Klaarwater was born in 1624 at Baarn, The Netherlands.¹ He married Maria Hansen, daughter of Hans Vos and Geertje Seltens.¹ He died between 1715 and 1717 at New Paltz, NY.¹ He was buried in 1715 in Bontecoe, in the orchard of his farm.

     He was 20 when he signed the contract, and he was from Hamersvelt (near Leusden.)² Theunis Jacobse immigrated on 5 September 1656 to New Amsterdam on the "Otter." He had signed a contract with Jeremias Van Renselaer on 14 Jun 1656 in Amsterdam to sail on the "Otter."² Theunis Jacobse Klaarwater lived in 1709 at Shawangunk, NY.
     Theunis was a graduate of Univ. of Leyden. He was a soldier in Holland. He was exiled from Holland by Phillip 2nd of Spain for religious reasons. He immigrated to New Amsterdam, later moved to Kingston then to Bontecoe. With others, he was awarded a 4000 acre patent in 1709 by Queen Anne in Ulster Co. He was a Huguenot and one of the founders of the Ref. D. Ch. in Kingston. Later he attended the church at New Paltz.
Other sources have him coming to New Netherland about 1656 on the 'Otter' with Van Renselaer. If that is so, his son Jacob cannot have been born in The Netherlands (as the Deyo File suggests). While this website has a lot of transcriptions, it has Theunis as a son of Anthony Jacobs and Besseltgen Wouters. As Theunis' patronymic is Jacobs, and he does not name any children either Anthony or Besseltgen, this seems unlikely.^3,1,4
     The Klarwaters were one of the most ancient families of Holland. For centuries they owned and still (1909) own estates at Baarn, near Rotterdam. Its members were among the founders of the Dutch Republic and achieved distinction in the wars of Holland. The Klaarwaters fought under William the Silent and John of Barneveldt.
Theunis Jacobsen Clearwater, the founder of the Clearwater family in America was born at Baarn.⁵
     NOTE: Hasbrouck File had ? Klaarwater, the mother of Agatha Nicol, as a daughter of Theunis Jacobse Klaarwater. Theunis' son Jacob is b. c. 1663, and Elsje prob. c. 1675-80; Agatha is prob. b. 1650-1655, which would give a birthdate for her mother of 1630-35, enough to be a sister of Theunis.^6,4 Name variation: Theunis Clearwater.
