Rachel Jansen Pier was one of two unnamed childen (ages 1 1/2 and 4) who accompanied their parents on the ship "De St Jean Baptist" (passenger list dated May 9, 1661) from Holland to New Amsterdam. Her parents were Jan Theunissen (b. October 19, 1631 at Amsterdam) and Maritje Jans (b. at Amsterdam). On the ship also was her father's brother, Arent, and his wife Geesje plus their two children ages 7 and 4.

1716 - Sponsor at birth of Neeltje, daughter of probable daughter Willemtje.
