This family’s name in Holland was Kool. After the surrender of 1664 it passed into Cool. Persistent mispronunciation of it from the time of this change compelled the family to adopt the spelling used at today (Cole).
From “The Barent Jacobsen Cool Family,” Richard H. Benson, Newbury Street Press, Boston, 2001.
Barent Jacobsen Cool sailed to New Amsterdam, possibly from Amsterdam as a sailor in late 1632 on the ship Soutberg, which arrived in April 1633 with 140 soldiers. At that time, New Amsterdam, now New York City, had a population of only 400 to 500 people.
On June 8, 1633, Barent and six others signed a treaty with the Sickename Indians [Note: this purchase is the only reference to this tribe name] for purchasing land on the Connecticut River. The cost was recorded as 27 rolls of cloth, 6 axes, 6 kettles, 18 knives, and other articles. This was done to halt English exploration of the land. Barent’s group also built a trading house called “The House of Good Hope” and fortified it with several cannons.
Barent returned to Amsterdam by November 16, 1635. At that time, he and a gold wiremaker named Jacob Hanssen lodged a complaint about withholding pay from officers of the West India Company returning to Amsterdam on the ship Eendracht against Lubbert van Dincklagen, the former sheriff of New Netherland. Van Dincklagen said it was part of dispute with the director-general of the colony, Wouter van Twiller.
Wouter von Twiller (c. 1580 – 1656)
Barent sailed on the ship Den Dolphyn to New Amsterdam in early 1638 with his father-in-law, Leendert Arentsen DeGrauw. It is presumed that his wife and her brothers and sisters were also on board. On April 19, 1638, the crew of the Den Dolphyn made a formal complaint to the provincial secretary about how the ship leaked during the voyage and that the captain had not provided enough food for the passengers. Barent and DeGrauw testified that several children belonging to Jan Schepmoes and his wife didn’t receive enough food.
Barent later was captain of the yacht Amsterdam between 1638 and 1644. He sailed on the Hudson River and was a river pilot for other boats.
On April 13, 1654, Barent became a wine and beer carrier for the Dutch West India Company. He watched the company warehouse and was appointed by the New Amsterdam burgomasters as an exciseman. He, along with Joost Goderus, boarded ships in New Amsterdam, searched their contents, and levied duty on the goods they found. On September 21, 1663, Barent was appointed as a public porter and was elected foreman (Elder of the Beer Porters) on July 17, 1665.
On April 14, 1657, he was enrolled as a burgher of New Amsterdam and took an oath of allegiance to the city authorities, the States-General of the United Netherlands, and the Dutch West India Company and its director-general. After the surrender of New Amsterdam to the English in September 1664, Barent took an oath of allegiance to the king of Great Britain.
Barent and his family lived in house that was owned by the West India Company. This house was on Brough (Bridge) Street.
Here is today’s Google Maps Street View of Bridge Street
In 1668, the governor conferred title of Barent’s father-in-law’s land to him. This lot was on Broadway, just south of Wall Street across from the south yard of Trinity Church.

The last known record of Barent Jacobsen Cool is at the baptism of his grandson in New York, dated October 21, 1671, in which he is listed as a sponsor.
Early Germans of New Jersey by Chambers.
He was in New Amsterdam in the employ of the Dutch West India Company. Barent’s family was one of the five families living, June 8, 1633, on Bridge Street in New Amsterdam. Barent was a Dutch government representative with the Dutch West Indies Company He was a very respected man.
Children
1. Jacob Barensten Cole
Jacob’s wife Marretje Symons may have been born in 1640 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. Her parents were Symon Symonse Groot and Rebecca Du Trieux. Marretje died 1 Jan 1673 in Kingston, Ulster, New York.
Alternatively, Marretje Simons Schepmoes was baptized 12 October 1632 in the Nieuwkerk (New Church), Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands to Sijmon Floriszen and Claertje Arents. Another way to record her parents is Symon Florizen GROOT (1602 – 1699) and Claertje Arents or Rebecca De TRIEUX (1607 – 1689). She had four sisters, Lijsbet, Machtelt, Marij (who probably died young), and Jannetje, and three brothers, Floris, Arent (who probably died young), and Arent.
She seems to have arrived from the Netherlands as an indentured servant to Pieter Pietersen Harder “in the city of New Amstel, on the South River”.
Evert PELS, the husband of her sister Jannetje, paid for the remainder of her indenture in 19 February 1659. The Cools lived in Wildwyck/Esopus (now Kingston, Ulster, New York) where he worked for Juriaen Westfael, a farmer, and Marritje also worked, probably as a laundress. They moved to New Amsterdam (New York City) in 1667, where Jacob became a porter in the Weigh house and a beer and wine carrier like his father. By 1689, they had returned to Ulster County, where Jacob took an oath of allegiance.

4. Apollonia Barents Kool (Cole)
Apollonia’s husband Willen Isacsen Van Vredenburg was baptized 1 Jan 1637 at Kloosterkerk, The Hague, Netherlands. His parents were Isack Willemsz Van Vredenburg and Cornelia Jans. Willem died in 1703 in Rhinebeck, Dutchess, New York,
5. Leendert Kool
Leendert’s wife Marretje Cornelis was born 1651 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. Her parents were Cornelisz Hendricksen Van Dort and Magdelena Dirksen Volkertsen. Marretje died 1699 in Hurley, Ulster, New York.
Leendert lived in Marbletown, 7 miles southwest of Kingston. He owned and mortgaged several properties at Monbackus, now the town of Rochester. He was listed on the tax lists until February 1728.
Cole, Rev. , Isaac Kool (Cool or Cole) and Catherine Serven, New York: John F. Trow & Son (1876), p. 25:
“On page 26 of Book of Deeds AA in CountyClerk”s Office at Kingston, also on pages 70 and 266 of the same volume, and again on page 404 of Book BB, are found deeds of land sold by this Leendert Kool to different individuals. The first of these deeds is dated Feb. 18, 1685, and the last is after 1700. In them he styles himself Leendert Kool, and calls his wife Mary. The deed show that his residence was at Marbletown in Ulster County, about seven miles from Kingston, but he attended church at thelatter place. In these deeds his name is spelled in several different ways,among which are found Coule and Colle, as well as Cool and Kool. “I may adhere that possibly Leendert Cool and Marretje Della, who were stated . . . to have had a son Cornelis baptized in New York, April 18, 1694, may have been Leendert Cool and Marretje Cornelis. If so, the wife’s full name was Marretje Cornelis Della. Della appears, however, nowhere else in the many occurrences of her name.”
7. Theunis Kool
Theunis’ first wife Marretje Gerrits (widow), was born 1655 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. Marretje died 1696 in Ulster, New York
Theunis’ second wife Willemje De Lange was born in 1679 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. Her parents were Adrianus Franciscusz De LANGET and Rachel Jansen PIER. Willemje died in 1716 in Kingston, NY.
He was a member of the Albany Dutch Reformed Church. He Leased a farm in Columbia County in 1685.
Cole, Rev. , Isaac Kool (Cool or Cole) and Catharine Serven, New York: John F. Trow & Son (1876), p. 26:
“Theunis married Marretje Gerrits (widow), Jan. 12, 1676. In the New York Record the husband is entered as Theunis Barentsen Kool. No children of this pair are found on New York or Kingston records. At a later period, I find one Theunis Kool at Kingston, his name having probably come from this Theunis. My impression is that Theunis Barentsen Kool was the ancestor of the line of “Kools” now existing in Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, N.J. Very many Kools appear on the records of the Readington, N.J. Reformed Church, from its organization in 1719 till now. They have been very fond of the name Theunis and are known to be of the Holland Kools. No doubt this ancestor settled in that part of the country, as, after his marriage he cannot be found either in New York or Kingston.” Baptismal and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston: Teunis Kool, widower of Marritje Gerrits, born in N. Jorck, and Willemje Langen, j.d., born under the jurisdicdtion of Kingston, both resid. in Kingstown. Banns published, but dates not given. 2 Married: 22 Nov 1696 in Kingston, New York.
9. Pieter Kool (Cole)
Pieter’s first wife Hendrickje Jans was born 1660 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. Her parents were xx. Henrica died in 1688 in Kingston, Ulster, New York.
Pieter’s second wife Jannetje (Yanneke) Dingman was born 1670 in Kinderhook, Columbia, New York. Her parents wereAdam Dingman and Aeltie Jacobse Gardenier. Jannetje died in 1726 in Kinderhook, Columbia, New York.
Pieter bought 170 acres of land on the north side of Rondout Kill in Ulster County in 1685. Moved to Hackensack, NJ and then to Albany, NY. He was one of the first settlers on the Livingston Manor where Roeliff Jansen Kill flows into the Hudson River. He was a charter member of the Linlithgo Church at Livingston Manor. Peter and Jannetje Kool were among the original settlers of Hackensack, NJ (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. VII, No. 2, Apr. 1876)
Cole, Rev. , Isaac Kool (Cool or Cole) and Catharine Serven, New York: John F. Trow & Son (1876), p. 26:
“Pieter married Henrica Jans in New York Nov.3, 1680, and afterwards Jannetje Dingman at Kingston, Feb. 5, 1688. In the entry of the New York marrige he is called Pieter Barentsen Kool. In the entry of the later marriage at Kingston he is put down as “Pieter B. Kool of Kinderhook.” He had seven chiildren, viz. Johannes, Barent, Pieter, Adam, Willem, Marretje, and Andries. With their baptisms, the father’s name is in one place entered as Pieter Barentsen Kool, and in all other places as simply Pieter Kool. He seems to have lived at one time in Kingston, at another time at Kinderhook, and in the latter part of his life at Hackensack, N.J. The first five children were baptized at Kingston, and the last two at Hackensack. The dates range from Aug. 28, 1681, to March 4, 1705.”

Oh my, thank you so much for this information. Barent is my 10th great grandfather.
I’m not quite sure how I got here, but do the names Sluyter, Winfield or Burger ring any bells to you? I thought I may’ve gotten here whilst researching those lines. I have very deep roots in Esopus and Kingston, NY
This is brilliant work that you’ve done!

Hi Harry,
Thanks for the kind words.
Sluyter, Winfield or Burger aren’t in my lines.
Good luck in your research, Mark

Didn’t the Gonzalez family marry into the Cool family at some point. They were members of the Kingston Dutch Reform church and lived in Esopus,
Gale,
Do you have roots in Ulster County, NY?
I read somewhere that Manuel Consaulas (Gonzalez Duk) was born 1660 in Hispanola Spanish Netherlands. He came in a vessel from Curacoa West Indies carrying a peniard. His father was Don Manuel Gonsales b. 5/31/1589 in Penafiel Valladolid Leon Spain where he fled because of his Protestant sentiments to Benelux(Belgium Netherlands Luxumbourg) where he died 7/29/1636. His grandfather was Pedro Gonzalaz b. 1534 in Austorias Spain. His graet grandfather may have been Francisco Gonzalo de Aguilar of Seville Spain. Manuel Consaulas Married Marriejte Kool (Cool) from a Dutch family near Rochester New York. They moved to Mamakating Hollow N.Y. and built a log cabin. He was a carpenter, made shingles and also raised grain. He established trade with the Indians and also was a tavern keeper. He was part of Cpt, Gerrit Tuenise’s militia co. of Kingston N.Y. Supposedly there is a book by Clarabell Christine Morass on the Gunsolis family history.
Emanuel Gonzalez married Rebecca Westfall b.1687 daughter of Mareje Kool and Johannes Westfall. Gonzalez was my friend’s 5th great grandfather. Paul Boetto Joliet IL.
Hi Paul,
Interesting to have a Gonzalez so early in the 18th Century. I haven’t done the grandchildren of this ancestor yet, but I put in Jacob and Marretje’s children just now
Dear Mark. Gonzalez also known as Consaulus was supposedly the first white settler in Sullivan county New York. There is a picture of his grave on the internet. From what I have read he was a Spaniard but maybe born in the West Indies. The story of his sons being killed by the Indians is fascinating. My friend’s 4th great grandfather Emanuel’s son Joseph escaped that indian attack and his clan later removed to Illinois.

Gonzalez or Consaulus as he is sometimes referred to was a Spaniard who may have been born in the West Indies. He was believed to be the first white settler in Sullivan County New York. Many in his family were killed by Indians he was friendly with. The story is fascinating. My friend’s ancestor Joseph Gonszalez Emanuel’s descendant escaped that Indian attack and later moved to Illinois.
Manuel Consalus is my 10th great grandfather. I believe I once read that he was a noble. Is that right?
Dear Harry,
There was some mention of that which was discounted by others as being unsubstantiated. He did arrive in America on his own vessel. Some think that voyage may have originated in the West Indies so it has not been connected to Spain as far as I have been able to find. He was a fascinating man however. One day I googled him and read stories for over an hour.
Friends,
I am a descendant of Pieter Casparszen, called van Naerden. Pieter was sworn as a wine & beer carrier, for Nieuw Amsterdam, on 4 May 1655, along with Barent Jacobsen Kool. Last year, my brother discovered that his wife was a descendant of BJ Kool.
I am proposing a new lineage society: Society of Descendants of the Licensed Wine & Beer Carriers of Nieuw Amsterdam. I am pleased to find a number of descendants of Barent Kool have found their way to this wonderful site; and, I wish to invite you as members of the society.
So, if you are a descendant, on 4 May, raise a glass to your ancestor. At the moment, I contemplate having no dues, or other obligations. Perhaps it can grow.
This has to be some pretty wonderful news!! In fact, not only am I a descendant of Barent Kool, my birthday is 04 May!!…hahaha Cheers!! Thank you for putting in so much effort to bring us this ancestral gem!!
Hi Jon,
There is a somewhat similar existing society. Descendants of Colonial Tavern Keepers qualify for membership in the Flagon and Trencher Society. http://www.flagonandtrencher.org/
Those persons, either male or female, who can prove direct descent from a person conducting a tavern, inn, ordinary, or other type of hostelry prior to 4 July 1776 (within the area which became the first 13 states).
See my post https://minerdescent.com/2011/01/16/colonial-tavern-keepers/
Cheers!
Mark
Well, it will be a great day. I only got error messages on my PREVIOUS attempts to send my comment; so,I am happy to see it posted and even happier to find it got a genial reception. Thank you.
The lineal descdts. of Pieter C. mostly adopted forms of “Mabie” Consumate Mabie researcher is going to promote the society in next issue (digital and paper) of the MAYBEE SOCIETY COMMUNICATOR. I suppose it may not get published by 4 May.
Take a ‘selfie’ of your celebration. If I can convince anyone else, perhaps the pics can be posted.
You’re a chart member. Tell your kinsmen!
Thanks much for your response.

I am looking for a person who would be a relative to Tunis Cole born 1745 and died 17 Nov 1823 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. I can not find the wife of this man as she must have died 1780 or after. He shows up in Pittsylvania County, Virginia in 1777 when he signs the Oath of Allegiance for the Rev. War. He has sons Jeremiah, Barnett, William, David, Tunis, and Daughter Ana or Anna. He Also has a Rebecca (Sister living with him to help with the Children). I can not find where he married or if he married after his wife has died, and is dead by the time he makes his will in 1816. This person is my husband’s six generation and I am hoping you might be able to help. Jodie Cole jodie.cole@cox.net Thank you and I hope that you will email me if you have an results.
Jodie,
Tunis Cole b. 1745/46 is also my husband’s g g g g grandfather, i could not find a wife either. I do have listed the same children as you.

Thank you so much for your message. I am sure that their was a Tunis Cole and he had the children, but what happened to his wife. I had begun to wonder if he was real or not. Jodie Cole
I have followed it all the way to 1400 AD
Thank you so much I believe he is my Eighth Great Grandfather
I am a direct descendent of Tunis living in Kansas. Would like to know if anyone has found out mote about Tunis.
Hi! I am a direct descendant of Berent Kool – he is my 9th Great Grandfather on my paternal Grandmother’s side. Her maiden name was Cooley. I would love to hear from others regarding our shared ancestry. My great grandfather was Zeddie Cooley (Great Grandfather) and not much is known of his early life in Macon, Missouri. What I do know of his adult life is less than flattering! By the time he married my Great Grandmother – he had already been married and abandoned his first wife child. He died within just five years of marrying my Great Grandmother and three years after my grandmother’s birth. As a result my grandmother was placed in a girls home. I’d like to learn more about;

Wonderful read. I love this so much. Dutch was my 8th Great grandfather. I am a descendant of his son Theunis. Theunis had B Teunis Cole who had a son named William Tunis Cole. So on and so forth.
We used to think we were English but this showed our descendants came through New Amsterdam, New York from Holland through Barent Jacobsen Kool. Name was changed to Cole. I am descendent of Teunis’s son William Cole, then Irving Cole, then Asa Cole, then Marion Cole, then William Cole, then my father Donald Cole. I was born in Warner Robins, Georgia but only spent 1 year in Georgia. All my relatives from Teunis’s son William to my grandfather William are buried in Gwinnett County, Georgia. I currently live in Kansas.
Randall were you and your family from Georgia also?
. Having the Cole as our ancestors makes it fun to learn about New Amsterdam. The Hudson River Valley in those days was an interesting place
Barent Jacobsen Kool is my 8th great grandfather ,my tree is infused with many cole’s because my 3rd great Grandmother was catherine cole ( daughter of issac cole & catharine serven) she married Benjamin Wood. and their son jacob benjamin wood married mary catherine lippincott who’s mother was catherine elizabeth cole daughter of david cole & elizabeth meyer ( david cole was a son of issac cole and catharine serven. ) so isaac cole was my 4th and 5th great grandfather .
love all our dutch history. and reading all you have here
Denice Hopkins , NEW YORK,USA
Denice, I too am related to Jacob AND Benjamin! In fact I named my son Benjamin Jacob Wood in homage to this lineage. My dad had a copy of the Cole book and I spent many an hour reading through it and enjoying the vignettes about my Wood ancestors who married repeatedly into the Cole line.
Yours;
John Howland Wood (named after the Mayflower ancestor)
My maternal 8th GGP:
Maritje Kool and Johannes Westfall.
She had a cousin Johannes Kool who married Neeltje Roosa.
They had a daughter Elizabeth who married Arie Kortwight.
Arie is a Jewish name.
Neeltje Roosa’s parents were Anna Roosevelt and Heyman Roosa.
Heyman is a Jewish name.
Anna Roosevelt’s brother was Nicholas Roosevelt a Goldsmith. (Jewish trade)
