Santje/Tanneke also referred to as Susanna was a Yates and the daughter of Abraham Yates Jr. known today in Albany by the historical society as the "most famous Albanian" (note there is another Tanneke Lansing and another Susanna Lansing and they are not this woman) was christened 21 Aug 1762 in the Dutch Reformed Church of Albany, Albany cty, New York as Santje/Tanneke Yates.
She was married to Abraham G. Lansing on 9 April 1779 in Schaghticoke, Rensselaer, New York. Often her correct marriage date is given but her wrong birth and death info are given with it. She died on 1 Feb 1840 in Albany.Her mother was Antje DeRidder/DeRider.
Her many children bore names that reflect the connection to Susanna's mother's DeRidder lineage; why else would her fourth son Cornelis De Rider Lansing. Also her sixth child a daughter was named Antje, similar to her own baptismal name of Santje.Also, her second, third and eighth sons all have the middle name Yates after her maiden name; those sons are: Christopher Yates Lansing, Abraham Yates Lansing and Gerrit Yates Lansing.
I believe that the Schenectady Historical Society can confirm all of the above. Thanks for listening; it was a headache trying to make sense of Munsell's otherwise wonderful research on other citizens of Albany which contained this one major error. Another Susanna was believed to have been this Abraham Lansing's wife, thankfully I'm having a difficult time trying to recall her surname which I believed started with B.
Also, please note there are other Abraham Lansings. One other famous one is Abe Lansing an atty nephew of Dr.Abraham Gerrit Lansing (his brother Christopher Yates Lansing's son)
Her husband Abraham Gerrit Lansing was born 12 Dec 1756 in Albany, died 15 May 1844 also in Albany. Dr. Abraham Gerrit Lansing and Susanna Yates Lansing had 13 children in all; their last child George Lansing was my 3rd great grandfather. Sincerely, Elizabeth Ann Lansing, free-lance writer and family historian for my branch of the Lansings. Please write to me and share how you may or may not fit into my Lansing line. I would love to find the descendants of all of this couple's children or at least some of them now living, but please write anyway even if you may not be related and want to know more about the Lansing Genealogy. I have put some of my Lansing/Trudeau genealogy on the World Tree but need to update it soon with the added info I've recently finally put into my PAF database here at home on my laptop.
