The children were all born on Staten Island as listed in (1) & Their names were all given in their fathers will (4). Her mg. to Pieter Pieterse Haughwout on 4 Nov 1683 is found in (3).
She died on Staten Island presumbly, although there exists no record of either her death or burial.
The registers of the First Dutch Reformed Church on Staten Island, located at Port Richmond, begin in 1696; although there were religious services there prior to that date, the records of baptisms there do not exist prior to 1696. We have therefor a period of time extending from 1683, the year of the mg. of Pieter Pieterse Haughwout , until 1696---13 years---during which time we have no records of the bap. of any of his children; nor their deaths, nor marriages. Hence we find no record of the bap. of his children elsewhere, we cannot determine exactly the order of his childrens births but must approximate thereto by reasonable deduction. The childrens names were all given in their father Pieter Pieterse will (4)

Source (1) Pieter purchased a house in Flatbush in 1661 and died before 15 Oct 1662 . From an application made by Femmetje Hermans to have guardians appointed for the two youngest children on 15 Oct 1662, we learn their names & their ages. Leffert is age 11 yrs. & Pieter Pierterse is 2 & a half yrs. Apparently the father Pieter Jans & his two older children have died in the 2 & a half yrs. between 15 Apr 1660 & 15 Oct 1662.

He resided on the East side of Broad St. near Beaver St. & adjoining his store. He was Schepen for several years & held in high esteem. He went over to Holland in 1660 & left his business here in charge of his wife. Margaret, returning only accassionally ( the Govenor using him as an emissary on several of his trips abroad) After the English conquest he returned once or twice more to Holland & seems after 1669 not to have come back. It was reported that he died in the East Indies. His property was heavily mortgaged to Jean Cousseau, who foreclosed in 1670. Baltthazar de Hart, a wealthy merchant purchased the property in Oct 1670, at a public sale. As the sequel shows, he had become quite intimate with widow Backer. He died the next year 1672 & having never md., left the most of his estate to his 3 brothers Daniel, Matthius & Jacob, having first made provision for his natural son, Matthius; And bequeathed to his" natural son Daniel de Hart, procreated by Margaret Stuyvesant, the house & lot then occupied by him and Elias Provost Smith," &" two great stilling kettles; also 600 guilders wampum annually; of all which the mother was to have the use until their son, Daniel (who had been baptized, 1 Sep 1671) should come of age. Among the Albany records is a petition, dated 29 Apr 1776, of Margaret Stuyvesant, for an examination of her account against the estate of the late Balthazar de Hart, with whom she was engaged to be married, & who in his lifetime made use of her estate.( In the History of Elizabeth, New Jersey p. 248)
A petition to the court by Margaret Backer setting forth that her husband Jacob Backer, about 8 years since, departed from her, leaving her with 3 small children, in a very poor condition, without making any pro-vision for payment of his debts or for the maintenance of his family. She very much doubts his life, not having in several years had any letter or advice from him, but various reports from Holland to the Easr Indies."

She sold the Brooklyn (Gowanus) farm to pay her deceased husbands debts and the children moved to Staten Island, where their father Garret had obtained a patent to 160 acres on the North shore in Sep 29 1677. The father's will was lost in a fire & the whole estate claimed by the elder son Dirck as the heir under the English law . On 2 Feb 1698/9 the younger son Hendrick petitioned to be protected in his rights, left him by his father's will, which had been burned, as he had settled on the property bequeathed him for 12 yrs, since he came of age. A family settlement & conveyances in 1709 released to Hendrick that part of the patent on which his house stood for over a century.
