        Rachel Corsen (1687-1749) was born on Staten Island in 1687, the daughter of
        Hendricks and Josina Coursen.. In 1705, at age eighteen, she married Stoffel in New Utrecht,
        Long Island, moved to Bucks County in 1706, and in 1710 joined the Bensalem church by a
        certificate from her old Dutch Reformed Church. They had eight children: Elizabeth (1700-),
        Joshua (1706-), John (1710-), Garret (1714-), James (1716-), Rachel (1719-), Jesina (1721-), and Aaltie Olshe (1727-1761). Rachel died in 1749.

        Staten Island and later in Bensalem, Bucks County, Pennsylvania where Rachel Corsen married
