Surname Saturday - LNU (colonial New York?)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  


I am in the 7th great-grandmothers and I'm up to Ancestor #1009, who is Helena LNU (????-????)
 [Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 7th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts].

My ancestral line back through one generation in this LNU family line is:

1.  Randall J. Seaver (1943-living)

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)


6.  Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976)
7.  Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977)

14.  Charles Auble (1849-1916)
15.  Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952)

30.  James Abraham Kemp (1831-1902)

31.  Mary Jane Sovereen (1841-1874)

62.  Alexander Sovereign (1814-1907)

504.  Victor Davidse Putman (1721-1765)
505.  Margriet Weiser (1726-????)

1008.  David Janse Putman, born November 1684 in Schenectady, Schenectady, New York, United States; died 28 October 1761 in Pluckemin, Somerset, New Jersey, United States.  He was the son of 2016. Jan Victorse Pootman and 2017. Cornelia Arentse Bradt.  He married about 1710 in probably Monmouth, New Jersey, United States.
1009.  Helena LNU

Children of David Putman and Helena are:
i. Cornelia Davidse Putman, born before 29 April 1711 in Marlboro, Cumberland, New Jersey, United States; died 06 September 1800 in Albany, Albany, New York, United States; married (1) Roeloff Hendrikse Traphagen about 1728 in New Jersey, United States; born 05 August 1702 in Kingston, Ulster, New York, United States; died before 1742 in New Jersey, United States; married (2) John Voght April 1749 in Hunterdon, New Jersey, United States; born 24 February 1714 in Raritan, Somerset, New Jersey, United States; died 21 June 1809 in Duanesburg, Schenectady, New York, United States.
ii. Fykje Davidse Putman, born before 22 February 1712 in Marlboro, Cumberland, New Jersey, United States; married Thomas Auten; born about 1710 in New York, United States.
iii. Johannes Davidse Putman, born before 24 October 1714 in Marlboro, Cumberland, New Jersey, United States.

iv. Victor Davidse Putman, born before 09 April 1721 in Monmouth, New Jersey, United States; died 1765 in Morris, New Jersey, United States; married Margriet Wieser about 1745 in New Jersey, United States.  She was born about 1726 in New York.

I know nothing more about Helena, who was David's first wife (I don't know if there was another).  I don't have a birth date or a death date).  

I have seen speculation that she was Helena Van Gelder (daughter of Evert Hendrickse Van Gelder and Fykje Brower).  Mark Putman discusses David Putman/Potman and his wives (?) in  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~putman/Family/David%20Janse%20Pottman.pdf.  An online Van Gelder work is at  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rclarke/page1/vgelde-h.htm.  There is osme biographical material on Evert Van Gelder at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kings-highway&id=I45407.  However, a daughter Helena is never mentioned.
