"Guleyn Vigne died in 1632. He married, as her first husband, Ariaentje Cuvilje who died in 1655. Both were Walloons from Valenciennes, France, and their family was one of the first to be established in New Netherland. Ariaentje married (second), Jan Jansen Damen of Bunick who died in 1651. She and Guleyn had four children." (David Vernooy Bennet, The First American Mrs. Rosencrans; The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record; Volume XC, July 1959; page 164)

"Dirck Holgersen married, before 1632, Christine Vigne, a daughter of Adrienne (Ariantje) Cuville and Guillaume Vigne, Walloons from Valenciennes in the north-eastern part of France. Adrienne and Guillaume had four children: Jan Vigne, who was probably the first white child born in New Netherland; Maria, who was married to Abraham Verplanck; Christine, the wife of Dirck Holgersen; and Rachel, the wife of Cornelius van Tienhoven. Guillaume died before 1632, when Jan Jansen Damen married his widow." (John O. Evjen, Scandinvian Immigrants in New York 1630-1674; 1916, K. C. Holter Publishing Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota; page 69)
