• T.G. Bergen, in 1878, (NYG&BR 9:127) claims that William married 1st, Aeltje or Elsje ___, married 2nd Elizabeth Simpson, and 3rd, Marte ___. Hoffman in "Brouwer Beginnings" (TAG 23:204) states that "Several authorities credit him with a first wife Aeltje (certainly refering to Bergen) but no record has been found to substantiate such a claim." In a footnote Hoffman adds that "Willem Brouwer has also been credited with a wife Angenietje. This is based on the fact that Willem Brouwer and wife Angenietje appear as sponsors at a baptism in the Brooklyn church on Jan. 15, 1699 (Brkl.:175). This is the only instance in which she appears and is probably a mistake. However, we have no records of any children bp. between 1687 by Elizabeth and 1702 by Marta, so that he could have married Angenietje between these years."
• In addition to the above mentioned references to other wives, Hoffman states: "Willem Brouwer and his wife were listed among the members of the Breukelen church, but they removed at a later date as follows from a note added to the membership entry. He was listed in the Kings County Census of 1698 with a family of 1 male, 1 female and 2 children as a resident of Breukelen. In 1704 and 1709 he was mentioned as a constable of Brookland (Breukelen). A Brkl. deed dated 5-7-1708 mentioned Willem Brouwer and Martha h.w. of Brookland."²
