He was the son of Albert Heymans Roosa and Wyntje Ariens de Jongh. Arien had four brothers: Heiman, Jan, Aert, and Guert (died young). And five sisters, Eyke, Jannetje, Neeltie, Marritje, and Annetje. On 16 April 1660, he and his family set sail for New Netherland aboard de Bonte Koe. They settled in Wildwyck (later Kingston, Ulster, New York). Three years later, in 1663 the village was attacked by Native Americans and Arien's eldest sister and another of the Roosa children were taken prisoners. Nevertheless, Arien and his brother, Jan, ventured out to work in the fields without permission and were caught and fined by the Schout (sheriff). Arien was still a minor at that point. New Netherland was taken over by the English and tensions ran high between the English soldiers and the Dutch burghers throughout the colony. In 1664, Arien, his father, and Ariaen Huybertsen got into a fight with the English guard over a canoe that belonged to the Roosas. Neither party could speak the other's language very well and the conflict became physical. In 1665, Arien's father was summoned to court and many residents thought he would be arrested. A crowd, including Arien, assembled but the situation ended peacefully. Arien told the court that he was on his way to the minister with a message, saw something going on at the guardhouse, stopped briefly, and then continued his errand. In 1667, the Esopus Mutiny took place as reaction to the abuses of the English commander at the Esopus, Captain Brodhead. Arien and his father were later charged as being among the key players in the mutiny. The governor banished the two Roosas and the others for their part but later reversed the sentences. Arien married Maria Everts Pels. Maria was the daughter of Evert Everts Pels and Jannetje Sijmons and the sister of at least two brothers, Evert and Symen, and at least two sisters, Rabecca and Elisabet. Also lists the children of Arien and Maria with their christening dates.
