On 15 Dec 1629 Anthony Jansen married Grietje Reyniers. Born ca 1602. Grietje died in Gravesend, Kings County, New York on 24 Apr 1666.

Hazel Van Dyke Roberts, The New York Geneaological & Biographical Review, January 1972:
    “The records of the Gemeente-Archief in Amsterdam show that on 26 September 1626 Grietje Reyniers of Amsterdam, aged twenty-four years, parents unnamed, assisted by her cousin, Heyltge Gerris Schaeck, married Aelbert Egberts, from Haarlem, a tailor, aged twenty years, having no father, and assisted by his mother, Hillegond Cornelis. The records further show that on 15 December 1629 Grietje Reyniers, from Wesel, Germany, widow of Aelbert Egberts for over two years, and Anthony Jansz, seaman from Cartagena (Spain), aged twenty-two years, parents not named, received a certificate allowing them to get married ‘on board.’ Thus Grietje was about five years Anthony's senior.
    “The decision to marry on shipboard could have been the result of a sudden decision to marry, or the preference of Anthony, either a Mohammedan then, or influenced by that religion, to be married by a sea captain rather than by a Dutch minister. Sailing in December 1629, they would have reached New Netherland in 1630. Thus Grietje did not come on the Southberg with Van Twiller and Bogardus.
    “Whether Grietje Reyniers was Dutch or German remains uncertain. Her name indicates that the family was of Huguenot descent. That she was of Amsterdam at the time of her first marriage seems to suggest Dutch origin.
    “The question arises as to why Anthony called himself a seaman from Cartagena Spain rather than from Sale or Fez as he was afterwards known. To have been in Holland as Anthony Jansen, a seaman from Sale, would have been to advertise the fact that he had been a pirate in the fleet of Jan Jansen. Fortunately, at this time there was an armistice between Spain and the Dutch.”
