4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

Margriet Wies was born in about 1726, perhaps in New Jersey[2].  Her father may have been Nicholas Wies or Wieser.  Nothing more is known about Margriet's birth family.

According to the Putman Family Bulletin website, Victor Potman married Margriet Wies in about 1745, perhaps in New Jersey.[2] They probably had at least six children:[2]

*  Maria Potman (1749-????).
*  Elisabetha Potman (1751-????).
*  Saertje Potman (1753-????).
*  David Potman (about 1755-????).
*  John Potman (about 1757-1798).
*  Peter Potman (1760-1835), married Sarah Kinnan (1760-1841) in 1784.

In 1749, Victor and Margriet Potman lived in the Minisink Valley of the Delaware River, possibly on the New Jersey side above the Water Gap, across the river from Smithfield, Pennsylvania.  Their three daughters (Maria, Elisabetha and Saertje) were baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church of Smithfield, Pennsylvania which served both banks of the Delaware River.[1,3]  

Margriet Wies or Wiser is given as the name of the mother of Maria Potman, Saertje Potman and Elisabeth Potman in the Reformed Dutch Church records in Smithtown, Pennsylvania.[1,3] 

No information is available as to her death and burial, which may have occurred after August 1765 in Sussex County, New Jersey.[2]
