Notes

from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Duncanson-15
Maria Duncanson (also Donchesen, Donckesen, and other variants) was born in Scotland about 1614. In about 1650, she was living in New Netherland, where she became the second wife of Pieter Loockermans. In view of her age, Pieter is likely to have been Maria's second husband. A possible record of her first marriage exists in the form of banns posted in January 1640 for the marriage in Amsterdam, Holland, of a 25-year-old Maria Donckes and a James Macfasse, both from Scotland.

The identity of Loockermans' second wife Maria has been the subject of some debate. In preparation for his second marriage, in 1664, to Maria Varleth, Willem Teller made provision for his children by his first wife and appointed as their guardians "Sander Leendertse Glen and Pieter Loockermans, uncles of said children." This is interpreted as indicating that Pieter Loockermans' wife Maria was the sister of either Willem Teller or his deceased wife "Margariet Donckesen" (Duncanson). Because Margaret Duncanson had a sister Maria born about the same time as Pieter Loockermans, other Duncanson sisters lived in New Netherland, and there is no record of Willem Teller having any sisters in New Netherland, it is most likely that it was Maria Duncanson who was Pieter Loockermans' second wife.
