• He first appears in New York as "Mathys, a Frenchman" when he was sued by Barent Myndertse in 1683 for unpaid debts. On 8 Sep 1684 Jacob Sanders informed the court that a certain Frenchman named Matthys had threatened to poison his "negress," Pey. The Frenchman, Matthys Boffie, appeared and acknowledged that he had slept with the Pey for two years and that he had one child by her and she was pregnant with a second. Witnesses testified that Boffie had threatened that, if Sanders would not sell Pey to him for 50 or 60 beavers, he would get a root from the woods, give half to his lover, and take the other half himself and both would die on Sander's door. Boffie was ordered to be jailed until the next court session. On 11 April 1685 the court heard the testimony of Franceyn, the negress of Jacob Staets, as well as the testimony of Pey and several other negroes and negresses of Schenectady who added the charge that "Matthys Boffie, a Frenchman, a vagrant fellow of no settled habitation," tried to "entice and Inveagle" them to run away to Canada. The sheriff was ordered to confine Boffie and produce him before the court of Oyer and Terminer (Court Min. Albany 3:480-81, 526-28). No further record of the case has been found.
  In 1689 the Albany Court of Sessions ordered that "Mathys Boffie who lives at Canastagioene be ordered to come and live here in town." After daughter Catarina was baptized in Albany on 12 Feb 1690, Matthys and his wife, Catherine Barrois, next appear in New Jersey where son Nicholas was baptized at Bergen. In 1695 the couple witnessed a baptism at the Old Brooklyn Church. Son, Anthony was baptized in the New York City Dutch Church in 1696, and the next child was baptized at Albany in 1699. The next two are baptized at Schenectady, and the last three back at Albany.
  Mathieu is probably the "Mattias Boose Snor" listed as a freeholder at Canastigonie in 1720.⁴

• The Journal of Jaspar Danckaerts: (Friday, September 29, 1679). Here we crossed over, my comrade, Gerrit, our guide, and myself, in a row-boat, as it happened, which in good weather and tide, carries a sail. When we came over we found there Jan Teunissen, our fellow passenger, who had promised us so much good. He was going over to the city, to deliver his letters and transact other business. He told us he would return home in the evening, and we would find him there. We went on, up the hill, along open roads and a little woods, through the first village, called Breukelen, which has a small and ugly little church standing in the middle of the road. Having passed through here, we struck off to the right, in order to go to Gouanes. We went upon several plantations where Gerrit was acquainted with almost all of the people, who made us very welcome, sharing with us bountifully whatever they had, whether it was milk, cider, fruit or tobacco, and especially, and first and most of all, miserable rum or brandy which had been brought from Barbados and other islands, and which is called by the Dutch "kill-devil." All these people are very fond of it, and most of them extravagantly so, although it is very dear and has a bad taste. It is impossible to tell how many peach trees we passed, all laden with fruit to breaking down, and many of them actually broken down. We came to a place surrounded with such trees from which so many had fallen off that the ground could not be discerned, and you could not put your foot down without trampling them; and notwithstanding such large quantities had fallen off, the trees were still as full as they could bear. The hogs and other animals mostly feed on them. This place belongs to the oldest European woman in the country. We went immediately into her house, where she lived with her children. We found her sitting by the fire, smoking tobacco incessantly, one pipe after another. We enquired after her age, which the children told us was an hundred years. She was from Luyck (Liège), and still spoke good Wals [French of the Walloon variety]. She could reason very well sometimes, and other times she could not. She showed us several large apples, as good fruit of that country, and different from that of Europe. She had been about fifty years now in the country, and had above seventy children and grandchildren. She saw the third generation after her. Her mother had attended women in child-bed in her one hundred and sixth year, and was one hundred and eleven or twelve years old when she died. We tasted here for the first time, smoked "twaelft" [twelfth], a fish so called because it is caught in season next after the "elft" [eleventh] (ed. note: Striped bass and shad, respectively. The word "elft" has nothing to do with eleven, for elft = Fr. alose, or Eng. allice). It was salted a little and then smoked, and although it was now a year old, it was still perfectly good, and in flavor not inferior to smoked salmon. We drank here, also, the first new cider, which was very fine.
  We proceeded on to Gouanes, a place so called, where we arrived in the evening at one of the best friends of Gerrit, named Symon (Simon Aertsen DeHart). He was very glad to see us, and so was his wife. He took us into the house, and entertained us exceedingly well. We found a good fire, half-way up the chimney, of clear oak and hickory, which they made not the least scruple of burning profusely. We let it penetrate us thoroughly. There had been already thrown upon it, to be roasted, a pail-full of Gouanes oysters, which are the best in the country. They are fully as good as those of England, and better than those we ate at Falmouth. I had to try some of them raw. They are large and full, some of them not less than a foot long, and they grow sometimes ten, twelve and sixteen together, and are then like a piece of rock. Others are young and small. In consequence of the great quantities of them, everybody keeps the shells for the purpose of burning them into lime. They pickle the oysters in small casks, and send them to Barbados and the other islands. We had for supper a raosted haunch of venison, which he had bought of the Indians for three guilders and a half of seewant, that is fifteen stivers of Dutch money, and which weighed thirty pounds. The meat was exceedingly tender and good, and also quite fat. It had a slight spicy flavor. We were also served with wild turkey, which was also fat and of good flavor; and a wild goose, but that was rather dry. Everything we had was the natural production of the country. We saw here, lying in a heap, a whole hill of watermelons, which were as large as pumpkins, and which Symon was going to take to the city to sell. They were very good, though there is a difference between them and those of the Caribbee Islands; but this may be owing to its being late in the season, and these were the last pulling. It was very late at night when we went to rest in a kermis bed, as it is called (shake-down, bed on the floor), in the corner of the hearth, along side of a good fire.
  Although Jasper Danckaerts does not mention this "Oldest European woman in the country" by name, it has been concluded by Harry Macy, Jr. (NYGBR 142 [2011]:21-26) that Danckaert's is describing Aeltie Braconie. Realizing that the mention of "above seventy children and grandchildren," actually refer to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and that the age claims are certain exagerations, this identification is certainly correct. Here we have a brief description of Aeltje, and of her Gowanus home, in 1679.²⁴
• On 19 November 1679 Aeltje Braconie resided at Gowanus, Kings Co., Long Island, New York; when recorded as a member of the Brooklyn Reformed Dutch Church. "Aaltje Bredebent", recorded next to Maria Badye.²⁵
