On June 3, 1646, she was married in New Amsterdam to Rutger Jacobsen, a resident of Rensslaerswyck (Albany). Rutger Jacobsen came from Schoonderwoert, a village sone twelve miles south of Utrecht, Holland. He served as a farm hand on the farm of Tuenisz from Breukelen for a term of six years, beginning April 1637, for the wages of 100 Florins per year. In 1643 he was engaged as foreman on the great Flats in Rensselaerswyck at 220 Florins per year plus some clothes. From 1648 to 1654 he is charged with an annual rent of 125 Florins for a saw mill on the fifth creek, and for the same period he is charged jointly with Barent Pietersz with an annual rent of 550 Florins for a saw mill and a grist mill, also on Fifth Creek. From about 1648, he also owned a sloop plying upon the Hudson River between Rensslaerswyck and New Amsterdam. On April 4, 1649, he agreed to pay 32 Florins a year for three years for rent of his house lot and the right to fur trade. In October 1660, he and Goossen Gerritsz were authorized to build and operate a brewery.

He owned a yacht from about 1648, and April 4, 1649, agreed to pay f32 a year, for three years, for rent of his house lot and the right to the fur trade. Oct 18, 1650, he and Goosen Gerritsz were authorized to brew beer, on condition of paying duty of one guilder for every barrel of beer, and of brewing free of charge the beer needed for the households of van Slichtenhorst and de Hooges.
