Originally published in 1900 |

THE OUTWATER FAMILY.- Franz Jacobsen was a native of Oude-
water, a small town on the River Yssel, between leyden and Utrecht, Holland. This town is also the birthplace of Arminius, after whom the "Remonstrants" were called Arminians. A picture in the Stadt-huys, by Dirk
Stoop, commemorates the brutal excesses committed there by the Spaniards
in 1575. Jacobsen came to America prior to 1657 and located at Albany.
One of his sons, Thys Franz Outwater, went from Albany to Tappan, N. Y..
in 1686, where he married Geertie Lamberts Moll (widow of John Jacobs
Harding). His descendants spread over Rockland County and into New
.Jersey. One of them, Dr. Thomas Outwater, was a noted surgeon in the
Revolutionary Army. Thomas Franz Outwater, another son of Franz
Jacobsen, the emigrant, removed to New York, where he married Neetie
Peterse. He subsequently removed to and settled in Bergen County, south
of Hackensack, where he married (2) in 1730 Jannetie Durie, widow of
Cornelius Epke Banta. His children were Jacob, Thomas, John, Peter,
Elizabeth, Janneke, and Annatie, all of whom married and settled around
Hackensack, where their descendants still reside.
