  • Notes 
    • Maritje translates from the Dutch to "Mary"; Aertse is patronymic name from father Aert --the se on the end of Aertse means Daughter of Aert. Different spellings & names--Dutch influence of New York on spellings and names:More common than surnames before 1811 was the use of patronymics. Children even with established last names would also use a patronymic and often therefore received no middle names. The patronymic was based on one's father's name. The oldest form used the possessive of the father's name along with the word for son or daughter. [example Aertse for father's name Aert; the "-se" to show "daughter"].Examples would be a boy born to Jan being named Pieter Jans zoon while his daughter might be named Geertje Jans dochter. These forms were also commonly shortened, to Janszn. and Jansdr., or to Jansse, and finally to Jans which could be used for both male or female children. These patronymic names were official and even used on legal documents where inheritances can be seen to pass from father to son with different "last names".After 1811, many patronymics became permanent surnames such that Peeters, Jansen, Willems are common surnames today.
      Don't know where the surname "Hunt" originated--maybe the family had a surname change when they came to America.
