Marriage
On June 18, 1638 Bronck signed his banns of marriage as Jonas Jonasson Bronck. This patronym indicated that his father's name was Jonas. He and his Dutch wife, Teuntie Joriaens, married at the New Church in Amsterdam on July 6, 1638. In June 1643, shortly after Bronck's death, Teuntie remarried. She and her new husband, Arent van Curler, soon thereafter departed for Beverwyck, a settlement on the North River near Fort Orange.
