Maria was born about 1613, probably in France but possibly in Holland. Maria married Jan Roos about 1631. They had one son, Gerrit Jansen Roos. Franklin Roosevelt descended from this son [his great-great granddaughter married Isaac Roosevelt in 1726]. Jan died about 1632.

In 1634 she married Abraham Ver Planck. Abraham may have just arrived that year [he was possibly a cousin of J.A. Planck, who witnessed the ante nuptial agreement above]. Maria and Abraham lived at the Vigne household until Damen took over. They bought land across the Hudson at Paulus Hook [now Jersey City]. They had a farm and two cows, and leased four acres to two tobacco planters.

The 1643 Indian war forced Maria and Abraham to seek the safety of the fort at Manhattan. The family continued to own the land at Paulus Hook until 1699, but never went back there to live. They bought a lot from brother-in-law Van Tienhoven at Smits Vly in 1649, near Pearl Street and Maiden Lane, and built a house there. They no longer farmed, but leased their land holdings and entered into the fur trade. This business took Abraham up the Hudson and down to the Delaware River. In 1664, when the English fleet showed up on the Hudson River, Abraham was one of the signers of the petition requesting that Peter Stuyvesant surrender. A fight with the English would have destroyed New Amsterdam. The people were more interested in keeping their homes than keeping Stuyvesant as their leader. He fell onto financial hard times in the 1680's. Maria died in 1689. Abraham died in 1691. They had nine children.575
