• Willem Adriaenszen died between 9 March 1644 and 9 September 1644; His death possibly occured during the "Indian Wars" of this period, a time during which Willem's house was burned down.^4,5
• Also known as Willem de Cuyper (or William the cooper, his trade, as called in the marriage record of his widow, Maria Thomas, 9 Oct 1644).⁶
• Also known as Willem Adrianese Bennet.^7,6,1
• The first record for him is dated 1636 when he and Jacques Bentyn (possibly a clue to Willem's Bennet surname) purchased 936 acres of land at Gowanus. On 26 Dec 1639, Jacques Bentyn sold his interest to Willem Adriaense. Little is known of Willem except that he is only referred to with the Bennet surname after his death, and that he was a cooper by trade. On 9 Sept. 1644, his property was patented by Gov. Kieft to Mary Thomas widow of Willem Ariaense Bennet, deceased. It was property that later was between 28th and 41st streets in Brooklyn.⁵
• There are, in addition to the families descended from Willem Bennet, several other Bennett families of English origins, found in the early settlements of New England and in parts of New Jersey. Willem's descendants can be distinguished, at least in the earlier generations, by the appearence of a single "t" at the end of the name, as compared to a double "tt" more commonly found with the other families. Willem Bennet's origins are not certain. It is noted that in the earlier records, his sons are always recorded under the patronymic, "Willemszen, " until some time after their own marriages when they are primarily seen as "Adriaen Willems Bennet," and "Willem Willems Bennet." Willem himself, is always recorded as "Willem Adriaenszen," in other words, "Willem son of Adriaen." The Bennet surname was adopted by the sons after the English conquest of New Netherlands. In the 1698 census of Brooklyn, where five Bennets are recorded, none of them are distinguished by either of the letters "E" for English, or "F" for French. Both sons and grandsons of Willem Adriaensen took oaths of allegiance at Kings County in 1687. These oaths were generally administered by the English Royal Government to only non-English persons. Previously published accounts of Willem, by Provost (1948) and Ledley (1963) lean towards the belief that Willem was of French Huguenot descent, and conclude that while that can not be determined with certainty, he was most likely not of English descent.⁸
• Beginning with volume 93 in 1962 and continuing throught volume 95 in 1964, Wilson V. Ledley published, in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, a five generation account of William Adriaence Bennet. The work was an attempt to complete and publish the earlier work of John Reynold Totten, whose manuscript on the first three generations of Bennet descendants was never published before his death. Early work on the family had also been done in 1931 by Andrew D. Chidsey who compiled a manuscript entitled "The Genealogy of the Bennet Family of Long Island, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania." Copies of the Chidsey manuscript were deposited in Easton, Pennsylvania and in Boston, Massachusetts, and was focused on the Pennsylvania lines of descent. Andrew J. Provost, Jr., also devoted a chapter to the Bennet family in his "Early Settlers of Bushwick, Long Island," compiled in 1948.
• A new look into the origins of Willem Adriaensz appeared in NYGBR v.123 (1992) pp.21-22, "Origins of Some New Netherland Families," by Harry Macy, Jr., who identifies some entries found in Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts (Albany, 1908) regarding a Willem Adriaensz, cooper, as pertaining to Willem Adriaensen of Long Island. If the connection is correct, then it appears that Willem Adriaensen was among the first Europeans to acquire land on Long Island, doing so in probably 1636 (whether or not Jacque Bentyn, who also bought land on Long Island at this early time, is a relation of Willem or not as not yet been determined). The VRBM entries state that Willem Andriaesz was from "Elseneur," which is identified as Helsingör in Denmark. Although this can not prove Willem's ethnic orgins, it does appear that he was in Denmark before arriving at New Netherland.⁹
