  • Notes 
    • Hester is the daughter of Rachel Van Arnhem & Benjamin Winne of West Manor farm, Albany, NY.

      Hester Winne was born in December 1731. She was an older daughter in the large family of Albany-area residents Benjamin & Rachel Van Arnhem Winne. She grew up on a West Manor farm. About 1751, she married Albany native Gerrit Van Zandt. By 1762, 3 children had been christened at the Albany Dutch church where she was a pewholder.

      These Van Zandts lived on the Southside of Albany while Gerrit owned & traded real estate in & beyond Albany. He owned a mill on the Onesquethaw Creek. Perhaps they lived there as well. By 1800, however, Hester & Gerrit were alone in their first ward home & were served by 4 slaves.

      Gerrit Van Zandt filed a will in 1806. It provided for Hester & apportioned his extensive holdings to their daughter, grandchildren, & beyond. Hester Winne Van Zandt died sometime afterwards. - - -
