1. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D35-D36:
“Frederick Van Lieuwen (or Van Liew, as it was sometimes spelled) immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1612; which, as remarked in connection with the first Longstreets, was the year in which the Dutch Admiral, Van Tromp, sailed the English Channel with a broom at his mast-head, was seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first religious congregation on Long Island. He was the first of our related families to come over, preceding the Langestraets by five years, and the Lanen van Pelts by eleven years. Not much is known of him. He came from Utrecht, having been probably, at one period, a resident of Leuwen. a village in Gelderland, on the river Waal. He brought his family with him, and settled in the village of Jamaica, on Long Island. He had in all nine children, many of whose descendants are still to be found in Somerset Co., N. Jersey. Their names are not all known, but among them were the following:
(1) Jan Fredericks. Jan Fredericks was probably the oldest child; born in Utrecht about 1647-48. He marred Aeltie Jans, daughter of Jan Jansen. Was on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn in the years 1675. '76, ’83, and '93; deacon in the Reformed Dutch Church there, in 1683; took the oath of allegiance, there, in 1687. Issue: Jan, bapt. Dec. 9. 1677; Margriet, bapt. Mar. 14, 1680; Abraham, bapt. July 9, 1682; Grietje, bapt. Apl. 20, 1685; Dina. bapt. Mar. 25, 1687; Esje, bapt. Nov. 10, 1689: Hendrick. bapt. Apt. 30, 1694: and Elizabeth, bapt. Dec. 13, 1697 -- All in the Kings County Churches.
(2) Catharina, of whom next.
(3) Hendrick. ___ Hendrick was baptised Oct. 14, 1683: married. 1st., ApI. 18, 1713, Geerje Corteiyou of New Utrecht (at which place he probably resided at one time); married, 2nd, Marya ___, and had by her a son, Jurien, who was bapt. Aug. 26, 1721, in New Utrecht.
Catharine Van Lieuwen, wife of Dirck Langstraet, was one of the oldest children, probably the second. She was born about 1648-1650, and in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, in all probability must have married about 1669, as her family began to be born about 1670. We have no indication of the date of her death, further than this: that one of her sons was born about 1680, and her husband married a second time in February, 1690; so that she must have died between those dates. It was probably after 1685.”

1. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D37-D39:
“MATTHYS JANSEN LANEN VAN PELT that is Matthias the son of John, was generally called Thys Jansen, and signed his own name as "Thys Jansen Van Pelt." He immigrated, along with his brother, Tennis Jansen, from Liege, in 1663. His wife died on the passage: but he brought over safely four children. His coming, as already remarked, was only in the year before the seizure of the province by the English; but it was fourteen years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht, of which account was given.
Coming from Liege, and being a Walloon, it is matter for interesting speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into the wilderness and a new world. The Dutch did not come to this country, like the Puritans, forced, by religious persecution: for at home the Protestant religion was established triumphantly. But they were a trading nation, and they came to trade; they were also an agricultural people, and they came to acquire broad acres of freehold, which there was little chance to get at home. With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered. They were under Spanish dominion, the most terrible of fanaticisms. But after all, while we may wonder, we cannot tell what brought over the two brothers, with their wives and ten children.
Matthvs settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears on the assessment rails of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second wife, Adrientje Hendricks, who after his death married Cornelis Wynhard. Since his name is not included in the list of the congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow married Wynhard in 1683, it is probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children, were by the first marriage; the seven youngest by the second. They are as follows:
(1) Anthoine, or Anthony; born in 1646, and came over with his father. Resided in New Utrecht in 1693.
(2) Teuntje (or Tryntje) Thyssen; born in 1648, married Jan Janse Van Dyck, member of N. Ut. Church in 1680. Married May 9, 1673, lived on farm adjoining Brooklyn line. Issue. (1) Catalyntje, bapt. Nov. 13, 1681, mar. Gerret Ketteltas; (2) John, mar. Martha Griggs; (3) Matthys, bapt. Nov. 4, 1683, died 1749; (4) Tryntje, mar. Daniel Hendricksen; (5) Angenietje, bapt. Apl. 29, 1686, mar. Simon De Hart, Jr.; (6) Jannetje, mar. Rutgert van Brunt.
(3) Hendrick Thyssen, born (supposed) in 1650. Came over with his father, Mar. 1st., Sept. 23, 1679. Annatie Tileman Vander Meyer; 2nd. Apl. 25, 1699. Marritje Bennet, widow of Johannes C. Schaers. Died about 1693. Issue, (1) Tileman. bap. Dec. 12, 1680; (2) Thys, bap. May 13, 1683; (3) Mayke. bap. Apl. 23, 1693.
(4) Gysbrecht Thyssen, of whom hereafter.
(5) Annetje Thyssen: married Jurian Lootman of Esopus.
(6) Jan Thyssen. A minor in 1683: took oath of allegiance in 1687 as a native. Married Aeltie, daughter of Gerrit Cornelise Vat Duyn. At one period resided in Newtown. Issue: (1) Gerrit, bap. Oct. 30, 1695, died young; (2) Thys, bapt. Sept. 19, 1708; (3) Jackamintje.
(7) Jacob Thyssen. A minor in 1683; took the oath in 1687 as a native. Supposed he had a son John who owned a farm at Bay Ridge, and died in 1766. A Jacob Lane (supposed to be this man) and his wife, Elizabeth Barkeloo, were members of the R. D. Church of Freehold, N. Jersey, in 1709.
(8) Adrien Thyssen, or Arie Thyssen. Of New Utrecht. Married Marrytje Smack. On census of 1698: but in 1700 was residing in Middletown, N. Jersey. Issue: Jannetje; Geertruy; and Hendrick, bap. in 1707, in New York.
(9) Pieter Thyssen. Took the oath in 1687 as a native. Was assessed in New Utrecht in 1706 for 49 acres of land. Married Barbara Houlten. Issue. Teunis; Matys; Maria; Catryna; and Rebecca.
(10) Jannetje Thyssen; married Tunis Idense.
(11) Lysbeth Thyssen: married Anthoni Jachum, of Bushwick.” 		Lanen Van Pelt, Jacob Thyssen (I5660)

1. The book, FHL 929.273 w181wf, "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, Chevy Chase, MD, 1999, p. 72, notes under "Unidentified Wamplers" that several Wamplers have records in proximity of other Wamplers but no definitive relationship can be established. One of special interest is: "Hans Adam Wampler and wife. This couple had a daughter, Maria Barbara, baptized in Lebanon Township, Lancaster County (now Lebanon County), PA, on 21 May 1749, with Valentine Kueffer and wife as sponsors. G.M. Shouse, "Wamplers in America," 1981, p. 4, reports that the baptism took place at Hill Lutheran Church, Lebanon Township. A.K. Burgert, "18th Century Emigrants from the Northern Alsace to America," 1992, p. 522, however, reports that the baptism was entered in the records of Quittopahilla Reformed Church, Lebanon County. This Hans Adam Wampler might be a son of Hans Peter Wampler and his wife Anna Veronica, who, like their son Hans Georg (born ca. 1736), did not appear in the baptism records of Alsace."
In his two books, "Wampler Family History 1500s - 1700s," 1986, and "Wampler Family History 1701-1980," 1980, Fred B. Wampler notes Hans Adam as a possible son in the earlier published book but does not mention him in the later book. Genevieve Shouse in the book cited above, p. 4, acknowledges Hans Adam but states no relationship could be provednor additional information could be found. She also notes that there is an Ulrich Wampler listed as a freeman taxpayer in Lancaster County in 1755 (a freeman was a single man over the age of 21 years) who cannot yet be linked exactly to the known Wamplers. Roy Wampler similarly mentions Ulrich as unconnected.
My opinion on this is that it is fairly well established that the German passenger lists were quite complete and only two Wamplers emigrated to America (and both to Pennsylvania) in the 1700's as established in Fred Wampler's 1986 book. Hans Peter Wampler, Sr. came with his family in 1741 and his brother Johann Christian and family came in 1747. The Wampler is not a common name whatsoever. Only males age 16 and older were registered on a ship's passenger list. Ulrich occurs late enough that he could be from either family; however, Hans Adam would have had to been over 16 and registered in 1747 if he was married by 1748 and having a child by early 1749. This would mean that he would more likely have been linked to the earlier 1741 emigration and related to Hans Peter Wampler. This group of Wamplers had several dealings with the Hill Lutheran Church which was actually built for two congregations as quoted below from Shouse's book which answers Roy Wampler's concern about the Lutheran and Reformed churches. There is a proven son, Hans George, who definitely was a son and did not have his birth or baptism recorded in the Alsace before emigration which allows for the same possibility for Hans Adam. There is one concern and that would be exactly where does he fit in with his siblings orderwise. Assuming a marriage age no earlier than 16 in 1748, he would be born no later than 1732. There is a gap of 32 months between Veronica (b. Nov 1726) and Barbara (b. Jul 1729) and 28 months between Barbara and Elisabeth (b. Dec 1732). Most of the other children have roughly 2 years separation, so fitting Adam in is a bit of a squeeze but possible.
I list Hans Adam as a probable son and I arbitrarily assign a birthdate to ca. early 1728. All of this is subject to change if new information is found.

2. FHL 929.273 W181sh book "Wamplers in America," by Genevieve M. Shouse, pp. 365-6, gives some of the history of the "The Hill Church (Berg Kirche)": "The Hill Church is located four miles northwest of Lebanon, Pennsylvania in North Annville Township. It was built in 1733 and was used jointly by the Lutheran and Reformed congregations. Ref. John Casper Stoever formed the congregation in 1733. Rev. Stoever called it 'the church on the Quittapahilla' because he lived and had a mill on that stream. The Hill Church was the first organization for religious services in what is now Lebanon County and was the first to erect church buildings. According to Egle's history of Lebanon County, '...In 1754, and thereafter, when the Indians made frequent incursions, people often took their guns with them to defend themselves against savages. During divine service men with loaded muskets were placed at the door as sentinels.' The present church, built in 1837, is the third church in the same location. An ancient grave yard adjoins the church and many old markers are long gone. [The book has a picture rendering of the old two story Hill Church.]"

1. The book, “A history of the Camfield family: with special emphasis on the descendants of John Freeman Camfield and Margaret Singleton Camfield…,” by Ernest Ross Camfield (Privately printed; 1999), “THE FAMILY OF LANEN VAN PELT AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE LONGSTREETS,” pp. 265-66:
“(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
Jan Lanen Van Pelt.
He was the first of whom we have any knowledge. His true name in its English equivalent was "John Lane", the "Van Pelt" was an addition used, which was quite common in those days to signify where a family came from ... their usual home or locality; or the home of their father, it assisted in distinguishing them. In this instance it was "Jan Lanen of Peel," or translated, "John Lane of Peel." It simply meant that John Lane was from Peel, which in "Lippincott's Gazetteer of the World" is an extensive marsh in the East part of the Netherlands, located in the Provinces of North Brabant and Limburg, occupying about 60 square miles between the Meuse and the Aa. Jan Lanen Van Pelt may have been from "Peel," but he is recorded as living in the city of Liege, Belgium in 1650. Consequently, the history books say he was "not a proper Dutchman but a Walloon." Nothing is known of his birth or death, and only two of his children are known to us.
CHILDREN:

He brought over his wife and six children: Jan Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Anthony Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Elizabeth Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Magdalena Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Kert Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Wouter Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; He married 2nd to Gertrude Jans, widow of John Otter, his children by her were: Hendrick Teunis Lanen Van Pelt; Teuntje Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Rebecca Teunis Lanen Van Pelt. It is known th[at] on 7 April 1670 he bought land from David Jocherns, 114 acres located in Bushwick, near Brooklyn, New York. He bought additional lands in New Utrecht in 1675, 78, and '80.

JAN LANEN (or Laanen) VAN PELT, is the first of whom we have knowledge. (Authorities: "Early Settlers of Kings County," Bergen, p. 343-4.) His true name, in its English equivalent, was John Lane; antiquarians learned in such matters holding that the words "Van Pelt" were an addition used (as was quite common in those days) by a family which had removed from its usual seat or home to indicate the locality from which it came: or, where there were several of the same name, to distinguish between them.

2. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D-15:
“… the first comers were the family of Van Lieuwen, in 1652, in the year when Van Tromp was parading the English Channel with his broom aloft, seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first congregation on Long Island. Next came the Longstreets, in 1657, five years later, and two years after the building of the church at Flatbush. Then arrived the family of Lanen van Pelt, in 1666, the year before the English seizure of the province, and fourteen years before the organization of the church at New Utrecht.
Although the family of Van Lieuwen preceded the Longstreets by five years, and the natural course of historical statement would therefore demand that account be first given of them, yet the logical arrangement of a genealogical narrative requires that the Longstreets be given precedence: they are the main branch, and any other course would beget confusion.
By way of preliminary, a statement in respect to Dutch names is needed. They then made but little use of family names. Many of them had none. Even in the most formal and important documents men are frequently designated by their Christian names alone; and that, where they were possessed of patronymics. It was, however, the custom to add to a man's own Christian name that of his father. These peculiarities cause much trouble, in tracing genealogies. There is one drawback on this difficulty, however, which is that the name of a person, as written, usually gives the Christian name of his father; thus Stoffel Dircks, means Stoffel the son of Dirck; Thys Janse means Thys the son of Jan. The terminations used for this purpose were various, but principally these: s, z, es, se, ces, en, sz.”

[KP Note: This name seems suspiciously to be the same name as his second wife and it probably given in error by the author.] He married, 2nd., Aug. 6, 1686, Gertrude Jans, widow of John Otter. Bought Apl. 7, 1670, of David Jochems of N. Y., land near Brooklyn, previously granted to Ryer Lambertse, containing 114 acres, located in Bushwick. Bought land In New Utrecht in 1675, '78, and '80.

Jan Lanen Van Pelt.
He was the first of whom we have any knowledge. His true name in its English equivalent was "John Lane", the "Van Pelt" was an addition used, which was quite common in those days to signify where a family came from ... their usual home or locality; or the home of their father, it assisted in distinguishing them. In this instance it was "Jan Lanen of Peel," or translated, "John Lane of Peel." It simply meant that John Lane was from Peel, which in "Lippincott's Gazetteer of the World" is an extensive marsh in the East part of the Netherlands, located in the Provinces of North Brabant and Limburg, occupying about 60 square miles between the Meuse and the Aa. Jan Lanen Van Pelt may have been from "Peel," but he is recorded as living in the city of Liege, Belgium in 1650. Consequently, the history books say he was "not a proper Dutchman but a Walloon." Nothing is known of his birth or death, and only two of his children are known to us.
CHILDREN:
-Tenunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt. He brought over his wife and six children: Jan Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Anthony Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Elizabeth Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Magdalena Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Kert Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Wouter Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; He married 2nd to Gertrude Jans, widow of John Otter, his children by her were: Hendrick Teunis Lanen Van Pelt; Teuntje Teunise Lanen Van Pelt; Rebecca Teunis Lanen Van Pelt. It is known th[at] on 7 April 1670 he bought land from David Jocherns, 114 acres located in Bushwick, near Brooklyn, New York. He bought additional lands in New Utrecht in 1675, 78, and '80.

Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
Born in the Netherlands
Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.

Coming from Liege, and being a Walloon, it is matter for interesting speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into the wilderness and a new world.

But they were a trading nation, and they came to trade; they were also an agricultural people, and they came to acquire broad acres of freehold, which there was little chance to get at home. With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered. They were under Spanish dominion, the most terrible of fanaticisms. But after all, while we may wonder, we cannot tell what brought over the two brothers, with their wives and ten children.

With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered. They were under Spanish dominion, the most terrible of fanaticisms. But after all, while we may wonder, we cannot tell what brought over the two brothers, with their wives and ten children.
Matthvs settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears on the assessment rails of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second wife, Adrientje Hendricks, who after his death married Cornelis Wynhard. Since his name is not included in the list of the congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow married Wynhard in 1683, it is probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677.

Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
Born in the Netherlands
Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.

Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
Born in the Netherlands
Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.
CHILDREN:
-Anthoine Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born 1646 in Liege, Belgium. He came to America with his father in 1663. He was living in New Utrecht in 1693.
-Teuntje Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born 1648 in Liege, Belgium. She also came to America with her father. Married Jan Jane Van Dyck on 9 May 1673, and was a member of the New Utrecht Church in 1680. She lived on a farm adjoining the Brooklyn line.
-Hendrick Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1650 in Liege, Belgium. Came to America with his father and married on 28 Sept. 1679 to Annatie Tileman Vander Meyer. He married second Marritje Bennet, widow of Johannes C. Schaers. He was the father of three children; he died about 1693.
-Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Of whose line we continue to follow...
-Annetje Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Married Jurian Lootman of Esopus.
-Jan Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. A minor child in 1683; he took the Oath of Allegiance in 1687 as a native. He married Aeltle, daughter of Gerrit Cornelise Van Duyn. At one time he lived in New Town. He fathered three children, only two of which lived.
-Jacob Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. A minor in 1683; took the Oath of Allegiance in 1687 with his brother. He was a member of the Freehold Church in New Jersey in 1709.

Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.

His coming, as already remarked, was only in the year before the seizure of the province by the English; but it was fourteen years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht, of which account was given.
Coming from Liege, and being a Walloon, it is matter for interesting speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into the wilderness and a new world. The Dutch did not come to this country, like the Puritans, forced, by religious persecution: for at home the Protestant religion was established triumphantly. But they were a trading nation, and they came to trade; they were also an agricultural people, and they came to acquire broad acres of freehold, which there was little chance to get at home. With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered.

Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
Born in the Netherlands
Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.

Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
Born in the Netherlands
Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.
CHILDREN:
-Anthoine Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born 1646 in Liege, Belgium. He came to America with his father in 1663. He was living in New Utrecht in 1693.
-Teuntje Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born 1648 in Liege, Belgium. She also came to America with her father. Married Jan Jane Van Dyck on 9 May 1673, and was a member of the New Utrecht Church in 1680. She lived on a farm adjoining the Brooklyn line.
-Hendrick Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1650 in Liege, Belgium. Came to America with his father and married on 28 Sept. 1679 to Annatie Tileman Vander Meyer. He married second Marritje Bennet, widow of Johannes C. Schaers. He was the father of three children; he died about 1693.

Coming from Liege, and being a Walloon, it is matter for interesting speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into the wilderness and a new world. The Dutch did not come to this country, like the Puritans, forced, by religious persecution: for at home the Protestant religion was established triumphantly. But they were a trading nation, and they came to trade; they were also an agricultural people, and they came to acquire broad acres of freehold, which there was little chance to get at home. With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered. They were under Spanish dominion, the most terrible of fanaticisms. But after all, while we may wonder, we cannot tell what brought over the two brothers, with their wives and ten children.

“(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt
Born about 1652 in Liege, Belgium
Married Jaanetje Ariens (Adraiens) Van Laer
He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.
CHILDREN:
-Jannetje Lanen Van Pelt
-Wilhelmyntje Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 6 September 1677 in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen
-Matthys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 23 August 1679 in Brooklyn, died very young.
-Catalina Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 24 April 1681 in Flatbush; believed to have married Elias DeHart.
-Thys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 30 March 1683 in Brooklyn, moved with his father to Monmouth County; his Will was probated 13 August 1729. 269 (Source: Secretary of State at Trenton, Libber B, page 215) He fathered seven children.
-Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 April 1685 in Brooklyn. Moved with his father to Monmouth County.
-Mary Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 March 1689 in Flatbush; believed to have married F. Van Sicklen
-Joost Lanen Van Pelt. Born blind
-Moica (called "Mayke," a pet name) Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1675, she was the oldest of her father's children. Her Will immediately follows that of her father. It is recorded in New Jersey; dated 8 April 1752, probated 13 March 1753, she probably died closer to the latter date. It is interesting to note how VERY IMPORTANT it was to her that her daughters, and her daughters’ daughters, and ANY female heirs thereafter always be provided for ... putting her estate into investments, and letting the interest always provide for the female off spring.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty Power of God. And as touching such worldly estate as it hath pleased God bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner:
IMPRIMIS: I give, devise, bequeath, unto my loving wife Jane al my goods and chattels during her life; I give, devise, and bequeath to my sons, Adrian Lane, Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt, and Matthias Lanen Van Pelt, and my daughters, Moika Longstreet, Catherine D'Hart, Mary Lanen Van Pelt Seklah, Jane Lanen Van Pelt; and my grandchildren which were born of my daughter Williamea Hendrecksen late, deceased, the former wife of William Hendricksen, likewise deceased. After my wife's decease all my personal estate, goods, and chattels to be equally divided between them. Share and share alike in eight equal parts and proportions, and as concerning my son Joseph who is blind, my will and meaning is that within six weeks after my own and my wife's decease, and before my estate is parted and divided among my seven first mentioned children; and the children of my deceased daughter Williamea Hindricksen, that all my said seven children aforesaid; and grandchildren shall give bond of two hundred pounds unto each other with the condition that each and every one of them, shall bear their equal part and proportion according to the discretion of my Executors in the keeping and maintaining of their brother Joseph Lanen Van Pelt. This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me. Made in witness where of I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and the year above written.

2. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D39-D41:
“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt."

Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt
Born about 1652 in Liege, Belgium
Married Jaanetje Ariens (Adraiens) Van Laer
He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.
CHILDREN:
-Jannetje Lanen Van Pelt
-Wilhelmyntje Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 6 September 1677 in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen

-Joost Lanen Van Pelt. Born blind
-Moica (called "Mayke," a pet name) Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1675, she was the oldest of her father's children. Her Will immediately follows that of her father. It is recorded in New Jersey; dated 8 April 1752, probated 13 March 1753, she probably died closer to the latter date. It is interesting to note how VERY IMPORTANT it was to her that her daughters, and her daughters’ daughters, and ANY female heirs thereafter always be provided for ... putting her estate into investments, and letting the interest always provide for the female off spring.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty Power of God. And as touching such worldly estate as it hath pleased God bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner:
IMPRIMIS: I give, devise, bequeath, unto my loving wife Jane al my goods and chattels during her life; I give, devise, and bequeath to my sons, Adrian Lane, Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt, and Matthias Lanen Van Pelt, and my daughters, Moika Longstreet, Catherine D'Hart, Mary Lanen Van Pelt Seklah, Jane Lanen Van Pelt; and my grandchildren which were born of my daughter Williamea Hendrecksen late, deceased, the former wife of William Hendricksen, likewise deceased. After my wife's decease all my personal estate, goods, and chattels to be equally divided between them. Share and share alike in eight equal parts and proportions, and as concerning my son Joseph who is blind, my will and meaning is that within six weeks after my own and my wife's decease, and before my estate is parted and divided among my seven first mentioned children; and the children of my deceased daughter Williamea Hindricksen, that all my said seven children aforesaid; and grandchildren shall give bond of two hundred pounds unto each other with the condition that each and every one of them, shall bear their equal part and proportion according to the discretion of my Executors in the keeping and maintaining of their brother Joseph Lanen Van Pelt. This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me. Made in witness where of I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and the year above written.

Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament.

2. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D39-D41:
“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;
(2) Willielmyntje, bap. Sept 6, 1677, in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen.
(3) Matthys, bap. Aug. 23, 1679, in Brooklyn; died young.
(4) Catalina. bapt. Apl. 24, 1681, in Flatbush; married (supposed) Elias De Hart.
(5) Thys. of New Jersey, bapt. Mar. 30, 1683, Brooklyn. Married Ann (or Auke) Schenck, and removed with his father to Monmouth Co.; will dated June 27, and probated Aug. 13, 1729, recorded on p. 215, of Liber B, in office of Secretary of State at Trenton. Issue. (1), Gilbert, mar. 7 Jany. 1741, Nellie Schenck; (2), Gerrett, bapt. Nov. 3, 1617 at Marlboro. Married Mayke Sutphen; (3) Aaron of the Raritan, married Sarah Cowenhoven at Marlboro; (4) Matthys, bapt. Feb. 6, 1723, married Elizabeth Sutphen; (5) Cornelius, married Elizabeth Warnsly; (8) Ralph; (9) Nelly, or Helen, (supposed) married Tunis Amak.
(6) Cornelis, bapt. ApI. 3, 1685, in Brooklyn. Removed with his father to Monmouth Co.; Issue: (1) Catryntje, baptised Nov. 26, 1710. (2) Cornelis, bapt. May 7, 1714, at Marlboro.
(7) Mary, bapt. Mar. 3, 1689, in Flatbush: married (supposed) Ferdinand Van Sicklen.
(8) Joost. of New Jersey.

“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;

He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.

-Jannetje Lanen Van Pelt
-Wilhelmyntje Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 6 September 1677 in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen

It is recorded in New Jersey; dated 8 April 1752, probated 13 March 1753, she probably died closer to the latter date. It is interesting to note how VERY IMPORTANT it was to her that her daughters, and her daughters’ daughters, and ANY female heirs thereafter always be provided for ... putting her estate into investments, and letting the interest always provide for the female off spring.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty Power of God. And as touching such worldly estate as it hath pleased God bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner:
IMPRIMIS: I give, devise, bequeath, unto my loving wife Jane al my goods and chattels during her life; I give, devise, and bequeath to my sons, Adrian Lane, Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt, and Matthias Lanen Van Pelt, and my daughters, Moika Longstreet, Catherine D'Hart, Mary Lanen Van Pelt Seklah, Jane Lanen Van Pelt; and my grandchildren which were born of my daughter Williamea Hendrecksen late, deceased, the former wife of William Hendricksen, likewise deceased. After my wife's decease all my personal estate, goods, and chattels to be equally divided between them. Share and share alike in eight equal parts and proportions, and as concerning my son Joseph who is blind, my will and meaning is that within six weeks after my own and my wife's decease, and before my estate is parted and divided among my seven first mentioned children; and the children of my deceased daughter Williamea Hindricksen, that all my said seven children aforesaid; and grandchildren shall give bond of two hundred pounds unto each other with the condition that each and every one of them, shall bear their equal part and proportion according to the discretion of my Executors in the keeping and maintaining of their brother Joseph Lanen Van Pelt. This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me. Made in witness where of I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and the year above written.

We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;
(2) Willielmyntje, bap. Sept 6, 1677, in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen.

He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.

Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt
Born about 1652 in Liege, Belgium
Married Jaanetje Ariens (Adraiens) Van Laer
He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty Power of God. And as touching such worldly estate as it hath pleased God bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner:
IMPRIMIS: I give, devise, bequeath, unto my loving wife Jane al my goods and chattels during her life; I give, devise, and bequeath to my sons, Adrian Lane, Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt, and Matthias Lanen Van Pelt, and my daughters, Moika Longstreet, Catherine D'Hart, Mary Lanen Van Pelt Seklah, Jane Lanen Van Pelt; and my grandchildren which were born of my daughter Williamea Hendrecksen late, deceased, the former wife of William Hendricksen, likewise deceased. After my wife's decease all my personal estate, goods, and chattels to be equally divided between them. Share and share alike in eight equal parts and proportions, and as concerning my son Joseph who is blind, my will and meaning is that within six weeks after my own and my wife's decease, and before my estate is parted and divided among my seven first mentioned children; and the children of my deceased daughter Williamea Hindricksen, that all my said seven children aforesaid; and grandchildren shall give bond of two hundred pounds unto each other with the condition that each and every one of them, shall bear their equal part and proportion according to the discretion of my Executors in the keeping and maintaining of their brother Joseph Lanen Van Pelt. This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me. Made in witness where of I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and the year above written.

2. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D39-D41:
“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;
(2) Willielmyntje, bap. Sept 6, 1677, in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen.
(3) Matthys, bap. Aug. 23, 1679, in Brooklyn; died young.
(4) Catalina. bapt. Apl. 24, 1681, in Flatbush; married (supposed) Elias De Hart.

“(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
Born in the Netherlands
Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.
CHILDREN:
-Anthoine Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born 1646 in Liege, Belgium. He came to America with his father in 1663. He was living in New Utrecht in 1693.
-Teuntje Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born 1648 in Liege, Belgium. She also came to America with her father. Married Jan Jane Van Dyck on 9 May 1673, and was a member of the New Utrecht Church in 1680. She lived on a farm adjoining the Brooklyn line.
-Hendrick Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1650 in Liege, Belgium. Came to America with his father and married on 28 Sept. 1679 to Annatie Tileman Vander Meyer. He married second Marritje Bennet, widow of Johannes C. Schaers. He was the father of three children; he died about 1693.
-Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Of whose line we continue to follow...
-Annetje Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. Married Jurian Lootman of Esopus.
-Jan Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. A minor child in 1683; he took the Oath of Allegiance in 1687 as a native. He married Aeltle, daughter of Gerrit Cornelise Van Duyn. At one time he lived in New Town. He fathered three children, only two of which lived.
-Jacob Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. A minor in 1683; took the Oath of Allegiance in 1687 with his brother. He was a member of the Freehold Church in New Jersey in 1709.

“Jannetje Aryans Van Laer. Born about 1655 in New York. Married about 1675 to Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt. She was the mother of nine children, one of which was Moica Lanen Van Pelt who married Stoffel Langestraet. Jannetje was a member of the New Utrecht Church in 1677, as she was on their membership list. She was living at the time her husband made his Will in 1720, and was alive in 1727 when the final settlement occurred.”

4. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D37-D39:
“MATTHYS JANSEN LANEN VAN PELT that is Matthias the son of John, was generally called Thys Jansen, and signed his own name as "Thys Jansen Van Pelt." He immigrated, along with his brother, Tennis Jansen, from Liege, in 1663. His wife died on the passage: but he brought over safely four children. His coming, as already remarked, was only in the year before the seizure of the province by the English; but it was fourteen years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht, of which account was given.
Coming from Liege, and being a Walloon, it is matter for interesting speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into the wilderness and a new world. The Dutch did not come to this country, like the Puritans, forced, by religious persecution: for at home the Protestant religion was established triumphantly. But they were a trading nation, and they came to trade; they were also an agricultural people, and they came to acquire broad acres of freehold, which there was little chance to get at home. With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered. They were under Spanish dominion, the most terrible of fanaticisms. But after all, while we may wonder, we cannot tell what brought over the two brothers, with their wives and ten children.
Matthvs settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears on the assessment rails of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second wife, Adrientje Hendricks, who after his death married Cornelis Wynhard. Since his name is not included in the list of the congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow married Wynhard in 1683, it is probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children, were by the first marriage; the seven youngest by the second. They are as follows:
(1) Anthoine, or Anthony; born in 1646, and came over with his father. Resided in New Utrecht in 1693.
(2) Teuntje (or Tryntje) Thyssen; born in 1648, married Jan Janse Van Dyck, member of N. Ut. Church in 1680. Married May 9, 1673, lived on farm adjoining Brooklyn line. Issue. (1) Catalyntje, bapt.

“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;
(2) Willielmyntje, bap. Sept 6, 1677, in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen.
(3) Matthys, bap. Aug. 23, 1679, in Brooklyn; died young.
(4) Catalina. bapt. Apl. 24, 1681, in Flatbush; married (supposed) Elias De Hart.
(5) Thys. of New Jersey, bapt. Mar. 30, 1683, Brooklyn. Married Ann (or Auke) Schenck, and removed with his father to Monmouth Co.; will dated June 27, and probated Aug. 13, 1729, recorded on p. 215, of Liber B, in office of Secretary of State at Trenton. Issue. (1), Gilbert, mar. 7 Jany. 1741, Nellie Schenck; (2), Gerrett, bapt. Nov. 3, 1617 at Marlboro. Married Mayke Sutphen; (3) Aaron of the Raritan, married Sarah Cowenhoven at Marlboro; (4) Matthys, bapt. Feb. 6, 1723, married Elizabeth Sutphen; (5) Cornelius, married Elizabeth Warnsly; (8) Ralph; (9) Nelly, or Helen, (supposed) married Tunis Amak.
(6) Cornelis, bapt. ApI. 3, 1685, in Brooklyn. Removed with his father to Monmouth Co.; Issue: (1) Catryntje, baptised Nov. 26, 1710. (2) Cornelis, bapt. May 7, 1714, at Marlboro.
(7) Mary, bapt. Mar. 3, 1689, in Flatbush: married (supposed) Ferdinand Van Sicklen.

“STOFFEL DIRCKSEN LANGESTRAET, (Daniel Perrine and His Descendants, by H.D. Perrine), b. ca. 1666, probably in Flatlands, L.I. and moved to Monmouth County, N.J. sometime near 1700. The "American Weekly Mercury" of Feb 14-21, 1726/7 is quoted in the N.J.A. 111:118 to the effect that Theophilus (or Stoffel) Langstraat from "the Shrewsbury in East Jersey" on Saturday, Dec. 31, 1726, "aged near 60 years met with seven swans flying over a meadow and shot down six of these with one shot". The achievement may well be inaccurately reported but it does give us the birthdate for Stoffel Dircksen. Bergen is our authority for the statement that he m. Mayke Laanen, dau. of Gysbrecht Tuysz Lanen Van Pelt of New Amsterdam, and that he was a deacon of the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church in 1698, and "removed to the Neversinks in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where his descendants abound to this day".
12-1-1739 "in the 13th year of His Majesty King George the Seconds Reign" proved at Perth Amboy, 3-1-1741, executors being his sons Richard, Aury and Theophilus. The will begins with these words:
“In the name of God Amen. I Theophilus Longstreet of the town of Shrewsbury in the county of Monmouth and eastern division of the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in good health of body and of sound and dispensing mind and memory, thanks be given to Almighty God for that and all other manifold mercies to me, do in this my time of health ordain and constitute this my last will and testament, in the manner following, that is to say, first and principally I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and my body to the earth to be decently buried ... nothing doubting but at the general resurrection to receive the same again by the mighty power of God...
The will is signed: STOFFEL LANGSTRAAT. (Apparently the one drawing the will for him, used "Theophilus" as equal to "Stoffel".
In the will, Stoffel refers to his "beloved wife Mercy" (Mayke), to eldest son Richard to whom he gave a plantation on the north side of the Manasquan River, to "second son Gilbert", to "third son Aury" to whom he gave a tract "at Raritom", to a fourth son Theophilus, and bequeathed 100 pounds each to his daughters Yonica, Catherine, Mary, Sarah, Moica and Anne.
Stoffel's wife Mayke also wrote a will which has survived, signed by her with her mark, 4-8-1752 and proved 3-13-1753. She named of the sons only Stoophel and Gisbert. Mayke herself is named in her father's will of 11-7-1720 as "wife of Stoffel Langstraat". Her father signed his will as "Gilbert Lane", but his formal Dutch name was Gysbrecht Tuysz Laanen Van Pelt. In (Somerset County Historical Quarterly, 2:115-6) we read that Mayke's father moved to Monmouth County about 1700. He had a ... (Printing error)
It is not possible to establish accurately the dates of birth of the children of Stoffel and Mayke, save for those whose names are entered in the Register of the "Old Brick Church" of Marlboro and which are marked with an asterisk (*) below. The date for the birth of Dirck (Richard) is in the Register of the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn. The presumed order of birth of the children is as follows:
-Dirck (Richard) bp. 4-25-1696 -Jonica -Catherine -Mary bp. 5-6-1702 (Bergen) -Sarah bp. 11-26-1710* -Gisbert bp. 11-26-1710* -Aurie (Awrey, Aaron) bp. 11-26-1710* -Stoffel bp. 12-25-1713* -Moica bp. 5-6-1715* -Ann b. ca. 1718 (Bergen)”

He is the first of the family of whom anything is known, and what is known of him is rather limited. He was the father of his son, as shown by his son's name in the manner explained. He never came to America, so far as it appears. He was of the Netherlands, but whether of the United Provinces or of the Spanish Netherlands is not determined. We know not when he was born, nor precisely where he lived, nor whom he married, nor when he died. We do know that the English equivalent for his name was Christopher Longstreet. We know he was Dutch and that he had a son of a similar name that came to America in 1657.”

“The Longstreet Family.
This substantial family springs from THEOPHILUS LANGSTRAAT (1), of Holland, through a son, Dirck, (2), who came to America in 1657. The Anglicised form of the name sufficiently indicates its original meaning and derivation.
DIRCK STOFFELSE LANGSTRAAT (2), son of Theophilus (or Stoffel) (1), came to America in 1657, eventually settling in Shrewsbury Township. (It may be noted here that among the Dutch the syllables, s, se, pe, and sometimes, te were used to indicate the paternity of the individuals to whom they were assigned, apparently as middle-names. Often the original last names, were dropped and only the "middle-name" retained. Thus we have the families of Hendricks, Laen, Giberson, and Tysen, all proceeding from an original (probably VanPelt), through several brothers who were respectively christened Hendrick, Laen, Gilbert, and Matthias, or Tice.) Dirck Longstreet married first, Catherine VanSiddock, and, secondly, Johannah Havens, widow of Johannis Holshart. His children were: Richard (3), of Shrewsbury; Adrien (or Aaron,) (4); Theophilus (or Stoffle), (5); Samuel (6); and, Classje (7)
ADRIEN, or AARON. (4), son of Dirck (2), was born in 1677 and died in 1728. He was a cordwainer, and lived in Freehold Township. He married, in 1707, Christina (or Stanchke) Janse. Their children were: John (8); Derrick (9); Stoffle (10); Katherine (11); Nelly (12); Winifred (13); Maria (14); Arinche (15), and, one other child (16), perhaps Christopher, who died in 1758 leaving children, Court (91), and Christine (92), both under age at the death of their father. Of these last Christine is said to have married John Saunders, from whom she was divorced by Legislative Enactment in 1780.
THEOPHILIS (OR STOFFLE) (5), son of Dirck (2), was born in Flatlands, Long Island, and died on his farm on the Manasquan River, in New Jersey, about 1741. He married Moyka, daughter of Gilbert Lane. She died about 1753. Moyka is, I think, the equivalent of the English Mercy. Their children were: Richard (17), of Squan, whose children are said to have been Derrick (42), born September 1745, and Anne (43), born June 1, 1748; Gilbert (18); Aury (19); Stoffel (20); Yonica (21); Catherine (22), who is supposed to have married William Chamberlain Jr.; Mary or Maria, (23), who married William, son of Daniel and Catherine Hendrickson; Sarah (24); Moika (25), who married and had children: and, Anne (26).
GILBERT LONGSTREET (18), son of Stoffel (5), lived at Squan, where he died in 1756 or 1758. His wife is supposed to have been Rachel, daughter of Garret and Nelly (Voorhees) Schenck, who married, secondly, Jacobus VanDorn. Their children were: Rachel (44), who died in 1765, having married William VanDorn, who married secondly, Mary Hunt; Garret (45), of Squan; Gilbert (46); Moyca (47); Nely (48); Jane, or Ouicha (49), married John Lake; and, Elizabeth (50).
AURY (OR AARON) LONGSTREET (19), son of Stoffle (5), was of Rocky Hill, near Princeton. One authority says that he married Catherine, daughter of Samuel Osborne, of Squan, who died before 1759. Another, makes her to have married John Longstreet. The name of his wife needs confirmation, as do those of his children, which have been given as: Moyka (51); Aaron (51-1/2); Richard (51-1/2); and, Lydia (52), bp. 6-10-1759.
STOFFLE LONGSTREET (20), son of Stoffle (5), was baptised 12-25-1713, and died 1784. He is said to have married Abagail, daughter of Thomas and Patience Woolley, who was born 3-17-1717, and to have been father of at least one child, Samuel, (41-1/2), who died 12-21-1829, at the age of 94.”

“STOFFEL LANGESTRAET is the first of the family of whom anything is known, and what is known of him is rather negative than otherwise. He was the father of his son, as shown by the son's name, in the manner explained. He never came to America, so far as appears. He was of the Netherlands, but whether of the United Provinces or of the Spanish Netherlands is not determined. We know neither when he was born, nor where he lived, nor whom he married, nor when he died. The English equivalent for his name was Christopher Longstreet. There is a family of the same name, Langestrasse, which is German, and of the Grand Duchy of Brunswick; but whether there is any connection between them and the Dutch family, I do not know.”

4. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D-15:
“… the first comers were the family of Van Lieuwen, in 1652, in the year when Van Tromp was parading the English Channel with his broom aloft, seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first congregation on Long Island. Next came the Longstreets, in 1657, five years later, and two years after the building of the church at Flatbush. Then arrived the family of Lanen van Pelt, in 1666, the year before the English seizure of the province, and fourteen years before the organization of the church at New Utrecht.
Although the family of Van Lieuwen preceded the Longstreets by five years, and the natural course of historical statement would therefore demand that account be first given of them, yet the logical arrangement of a genealogical narrative requires that the Longstreets be given precedence: they are the main branch, and any other course would beget confusion.
By way of preliminary, a statement in respect to Dutch names is needed. They then made but little use of family names. Many of them had none. Even in the most formal and important documents men are frequently designated by their Christian names alone; and that, where they were possessed of patronymics. It was, however, the custom to add to a man's own Christian name that of his father. These peculiarities cause much trouble, in tracing genealogies. There is one drawback on this difficulty, however, which is that the name of a person, as written, usually gives the Christian name of his father; thus Stoffel Dircks, means Stoffel the son of Dirck; Thys Janse means Thys the son of Jan. The terminations used for this purpose were various, but principally these: s, z, es, se, ces, en, sz.” 		Langestraet, Stoffel (I5606)

“Dirck Stoffels Langestraet
Born: Netherlands
Came to America in 1657
Married: Catharina Van Lieuwen
Died: after 1698 in New Jersey
Children:
-Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet
-Claasje Dircksen Langestraet (She was born about 1672, and married Abraham Lott of Jamaica)
-Adrian Dircksen Langestraet (He was baptized 16 September 1677, and married Christina Janse in 1707, he resided in New Jersey)
-Richard Dircksen Langestraet (He was born 1680)
-Daughter (name unknown) (She married Samuel Osborne)
-Samuel Dircksen Langestraet (Married Barbara Antonides)
Dirck Stoffels Langestraet immigrated to New Netherlands in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant as Director of the Province, two years after the erection of the Church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the Province by Nicholls. Dirck Stoffels Langestraet settled in the area known as the Flatlands, (Amersfoort); and this fact indicates that since this particular village was of less consequence than either Flatbush, (only three miles away), or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited the town came, renders it very possible that the Langestraet's came from Utrecht. Dirck, or "Richard" in the English language, was in 1677 a member in good standing of the Flatlands Church. He may have been a member of this church for many years, however the church records for Flatbush didn't begin until 1677.
In September of 1687, thirteen years after the first cession of the Province to England, there was a general administration of the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown to be made by all Dutch people; Dirck took that oath at the Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693 and on a census roll in 1698. After this his name appears no more on the Long Island records; and it is believed that he moved into New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”

He settled at Flatlands (Amersfoort); and this fact, since the village was of less consequence than either Flatbush (only three miles may) or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited and named it presumably came, renders it probable that Langestraets were from Utrecht. However that may be, Dirck (or Richard, in the English) was in 1677, a member of the Flatlands church, sitting under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Zuuren. He may have been for years before that an active member of the church, and probably was; for it must be remembered that the lists in the Flatbush record begin with the year 1677. In 1687, in September, thirteen years after the first cession of the province to England, there was a general administration of an oath of allegiance to the British Crown to all of the Dutch people; and with the others, Dirck took that oath at Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693, and on a census roll of 1698. After this his name occurs no more on the Long Island records and it is thought that he moved to Monmouth county, New Jersey.
In his younger manhood, but after his arrival in this province, he married CATHARINA VAN LIEUWEN; afterward, in his older age, some time before, but not far from, February 13, 1690, he married Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. An ante-nuptial agreement made with this second wife is still to be found in the town records of Gravesend; and in it reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen. At an early period, date now unknown, he had bought land at Shrewsbury in New Jersey, which he devised by his will to his son Richard. By his first wife Catherina, he had issue as follows:
(1) Stoffel Dircksen, of whom hereafter.
(2) Claasje Dircksen, born about 1672 and who married Abraham Lott, of Jamaica.

“OUR IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR. DIRCK STOFFELSE.
The first record of the presence in America of our immigrant ancestor was made on June 14, 1663, when a list of "equipment and munitions of war" possessed by the Dutch settlers at Ameersfoort (Brooklyn) revealed that DIRCK STOFFELSEN was responsible for one pound of powder valued at one florin. (Documents Relating to the Colonial History of N.Y., II, 463) In September, 1687, there was a "roll of those who have taken the oath of allegiance in Kings County in the Province of New York ... in the 3rd year of His Maj Reigne", and in this roll, "off fflackland" we find entered:
DIRCK STOFFELSE - 30 Jeare STOFFEL DIRCKSEN - native
Intrepreted, this means that Dirck had lived in the colony for 30 years (which sets the date of his arrival as 1657) and that his son Stoffel was born in the colony. (Documentary History of New York, I, 431) The following ante-nuptial agreement found in the Gravesend Town Records, Bk 3 p. 114, gives us more information about Dirck:
“To all Christian people to whom this present writing shall come: Know ye thatt I Dirck Stoffelsen living att Ameersfoort in Kings County upon Long Island in ye province of New York weduwaer of Catherine van Lewen deceased, being now remarried with Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased my present wife:

And therefore I Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased, living in ye same towne and countie and province above specified, being now remarried with Dirck Stoffelsen my present husband I Johanna above sd being in perfect memorie, doe hereby as my last will and testament, make my present loving husband my sole and joynty heir and executor of all my estate moveable and unmoveable none excepted and if god should be pleased to give us children together in our marriage, them children then with the rest of our fore children: are to have equal portion together after our decease butt ye surviving of us either male or female is to possess both whole estates of both sides without molestation or disturbance of both parties theire children or anyone else of theire procurement att any time or times whatsoever hereafter: this is our will so to do being in perfect memorie, and in confirmation both parties have hereunto sett our hands this 18 of februa 1690/1.
DIRCK STOFFELS JOHANNA HAVENS
Subscribed and Acknowledged in the presence of us:
ARSTEN JANSEN BARENT YUIANSEN JOHN EMANS: Clerke”
We do not know the date of death of Dirck's first wife Catherine, but she was with him as witness to a baptism on 11-16-1684 (Documentary History of New York, 1898). As we see above, Dirck was remarried by Feb. 18, 1690/1. In 1698, there was a census of Flatland, Long Island, in which was listed the then family of Dirck Langstraat, consisting of "Men 1 Wo 1 Chil 3" (Kings County, New York, Genealogical Club Collections, III, 88). On 4-25-1696, Dirch is recorded with his second wife Johanna Havens at the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, witnessing the baptism of grandsons Jan and Dirck (History of Middlesex County, NJ, by Wall and Pickersgill I,79) The last known record of this family in Long Island is the following: (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 54:180)
“Sept. 10, 1698: Antony Warshaer of Flatlands and Maritje his wife deed Stoffel Langstraat, Adrian Langstraat, Johannes Holsaer, Classje Lake and Cretje Williamse, late of Kings County, house, orchard, etc. in Flatlands bounded by property of John Vandyckhuys and Derick Amertman. The parties of the second part paying full value to Antony Holsaer, Benjamein Holsaer, Dirick Langstraat and Marytntje Langstraat when they are of age or marry the ninth part of said property. Signed by Antony alone. Wit by Henry Filkin and Ferdinand Vansycklyn, Jr. Ack. Sept. 15, Rec'd Sept. 16, 1698 before and by Henry Filkin, Reg.
We know from the ante-nuptial agreement that Dirck had three children by his first wife Catherine, viz. eldest son Stoffel and a brother and a sister. In the Warshaer deed we learn the name of the brother, i.e. Arian (Adrian, Aaron). We learn the name of the sister, Classje, from (M-11). Thus Dirck's first three children, by Catherine, were: Stoffel, Adrian and Classje. The Warshaer deed names two more as minors in 1698, and therefore of the second marriage, i.e. Dirick and Maryntje.
This list of five does not wholly agree with the Flatlands census of 1698. Who the third child of that list may have been remains undetermined.
The list of five is also in disagreement with (Register of Early Settlers in Kings County, Long Island, New York, By T.G. Bergen), where Bergen states that the children of Dirck were: Stoffel, Classje, Adrian, Richard of Shrewsbury, Johannis (sup), and Samuel (sup). Berger may have counted Johannis Holsard of the Warshaer deed as a Longstreet, in error. Of his "Samuel", there is no present explanation. Nor do we know why Bergen credited "Richard of Shrewsbury" to a place as a son of the Immigrant Dirck, for the Warshaer deed again lists "Dirick" as a minor in 1698, and in any case born after 1690, as a son of Dirck and Johanna. In the light of such data as we now have, it seems likely that this "Richard" is a grandson of Dirck by his son Stoffel, and the author of will #2659M (see later); that is, he is the Dirick b. 1696 to Stoffel and Mayke Lanen. Therefore we shall proceed to develop his family history on the assumption that the immigrant ancestor founded his line upon the two elder sons, viz. Stoffel and Adrian (Aaron). Of his third son, by Johanna, we have no further data.
DIRCK STOFFELSE [Children:] -Stoffel Dircksen b. ca. 1666 -Classje Dircksen b. ca. 1672 -Adrian (Aaron) bp. 9-16-1677
(Omitting Dirck's two children by his second marriage - Dirick and Maryntje - for neither of whom we have any record of issue.)” 		Havens, Johanna (I5615)

“Dirck Stoffels Langestraet
Born: Netherlands
Came to America in 1657
Married: Catharina Van Lieuwen
Died: after 1698 in New Jersey
Children:
-Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet
-Claasje Dircksen Langestraet (She was born about 1672, and married Abraham Lott of Jamaica)
-Adrian Dircksen Langestraet (He was baptized 16 September 1677, and married Christina Janse in 1707, he resided in New Jersey)
-Richard Dircksen Langestraet (He was born 1680)
-Daughter (name unknown) (She married Samuel Osborne)
-Samuel Dircksen Langestraet (Married Barbara Antonides)
Dirck Stoffels Langestraet immigrated to New Netherlands in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant as Director of the Province, two years after the erection of the Church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the Province by Nicholls. Dirck Stoffels Langestraet settled in the area known as the Flatlands, (Amersfoort); and this fact indicates that since this particular village was of less consequence than either Flatbush, (only three miles away), or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited the town came, renders it very possible that the Langestraet's came from Utrecht. Dirck, or "Richard" in the English language, was in 1677 a member in good standing of the Flatlands Church. He may have been a member of this church for many years, however the church records for Flatbush didn't begin until 1677.
In September of 1687, thirteen years after the first cession of the Province to England, there was a general administration of the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown to be made by all Dutch people; Dirck took that oath at the Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693 and on a census roll in 1698. After this his name appears no more on the Long Island records; and it is believed that he moved into New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”

“The Longstreet Family.
This substantial family springs from THEOPHILUS LANGSTRAAT (1), of Holland, through a son, Dirck, (2), who came to America in 1657. The Anglicised form of the name sufficiently indicates its original meaning and derivation.
DIRCK STOFFELSE LANGSTRAAT (2), son of Theophilus (or Stoffel) (1), came to America in 1657, eventually settling in Shrewsbury Township. (It may be noted here that among the Dutch the syllables, s, se, pe, and sometimes, te were used to indicate the paternity of the individuals to whom they were assigned, apparently as middle-names. Often the original last names, were dropped and only the "middle-name" retained. Thus we have the families of Hendricks, Laen, Giberson, and Tysen, all proceeding from an original (probably VanPelt), through several brothers who were respectively christened Hendrick, Laen, Gilbert, and Matthias, or Tice.) Dirck Longstreet married first, Catherine VanSiddock, and, secondly, Johannah Havens, widow of Johannis Holshart. His children were: Richard (3), of Shrewsbury; Adrien (or Aaron,) (4); Theophilus (or Stoffle), (5); Samuel (6); and, Classje (7)
ADRIEN, or AARON. (4), son of Dirck (2), was born in 1677 and died in 1728. He was a cordwainer, and lived in Freehold Township. He married, in 1707, Christina (or Stanchke) Janse. Their children were: John (8); Derrick (9); Stoffle (10); Katherine (11); Nelly (12); Winifred (13); Maria (14); Arinche (15), and, one other child (16), perhaps Christopher, who died in 1758 leaving children, Court (91), and Christine (92), both under age at the death of their father. Of these last Christine is said to have married John Saunders, from whom she was divorced by Legislative Enactment in 1780.
THEOPHILIS (OR STOFFLE) (5), son of Dirck (2), was born in Flatlands, Long Island, and died on his farm on the Manasquan River, in New Jersey, about 1741. He married Moyka, daughter of Gilbert Lane. She died about 1753. Moyka is, I think, the equivalent of the English Mercy. Their children were: Richard (17), of Squan, whose children are said to have been Derrick (42), born September 1745, and Anne (43), born June 1, 1748; Gilbert (18); Aury (19); Stoffel (20); Yonica (21); Catherine (22), who is supposed to have married William Chamberlain Jr.; Mary or Maria, (23), who married William, son of Daniel and Catherine Hendrickson; Sarah (24); Moika (25), who married and had children: and, Anne (26).
GILBERT LONGSTREET (18), son of Stoffel (5), lived at Squan, where he died in 1756 or 1758. His wife is supposed to have been Rachel, daughter of Garret and Nelly (Voorhees) Schenck, who married, secondly, Jacobus VanDorn. Their children were: Rachel (44), who died in 1765, having married William VanDorn, who married secondly, Mary Hunt; Garret (45), of Squan; Gilbert (46); Moyca (47); Nely (48); Jane, or Ouicha (49), married John Lake; and, Elizabeth (50).
AURY (OR AARON) LONGSTREET (19), son of Stoffle (5), was of Rocky Hill, near Princeton. One authority says that he married Catherine, daughter of Samuel Osborne, of Squan, who died before 1759. Another, makes her to have married John Longstreet. The name of his wife needs confirmation, as do those of his children, which have been given as: Moyka (51); Aaron (51-1/2); Richard (51-1/2); and, Lydia (52), bp. 6-10-1759.
STOFFLE LONGSTREET (20), son of Stoffle (5), was baptised 12-25-1713, and died 1784. He is said to have married Abagail, daughter of Thomas and Patience Woolley, who was born 3-17-1717, and to have been father of at least one child, Samuel, (41-1/2), who died 12-21-1829, at the age of 94.”

“OUR IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR. DIRCK STOFFELSE.
The first record of the presence in America of our immigrant ancestor was made on June 14, 1663, when a list of "equipment and munitions of war" possessed by the Dutch settlers at Ameersfoort (Brooklyn) revealed that DIRCK STOFFELSEN was responsible for one pound of powder valued at one florin. (Documents Relating to the Colonial History of N.Y., II, 463) In September, 1687, there was a "roll of those who have taken the oath of allegiance in Kings County in the Province of New York ... in the 3rd year of His Maj Reigne", and in this roll, "off fflackland" we find entered:
DIRCK STOFFELSE - 30 Jeare STOFFEL DIRCKSEN - native
Intrepreted, this means that Dirck had lived in the colony for 30 years (which sets the date of his arrival as 1657) and that his son Stoffel was born in the colony. (Documentary History of New York, I, 431) The following ante-nuptial agreement found in the Gravesend Town Records, Bk 3 p. 114, gives us more information about Dirck:
“To all Christian people to whom this present writing shall come: Know ye thatt I Dirck Stoffelsen living att Ameersfoort in Kings County upon Long Island in ye province of New York weduwaer of Catherine van Lewen deceased, being now remarried with Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased my present wife:

DIRCK STOFFELS JOHANNA HAVENS
Subscribed and Acknowledged in the presence of us:
ARSTEN JANSEN BARENT YUIANSEN JOHN EMANS: Clerke”
We do not know the date of death of Dirck's first wife Catherine, but she was with him as witness to a baptism on 11-16-1684 (Documentary History of New York, 1898). As we see above, Dirck was remarried by Feb. 18, 1690/1. In 1698, there was a census of Flatland, Long Island, in which was listed the then family of Dirck Langstraat, consisting of "Men 1 Wo 1 Chil 3" (Kings County, New York, Genealogical Club Collections, III, 88). On 4-25-1696, Dirch is recorded with his second wife Johanna Havens at the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, witnessing the baptism of grandsons Jan and Dirck (History of Middlesex County, NJ, by Wall and Pickersgill I,79) The last known record of this family in Long Island is the following: (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 54:180)
“Sept. 10, 1698: Antony Warshaer of Flatlands and Maritje his wife deed Stoffel Langstraat, Adrian Langstraat, Johannes Holsaer, Classje Lake and Cretje Williamse, late of Kings County, house, orchard, etc. in Flatlands bounded by property of John Vandyckhuys and Derick Amertman. The parties of the second part paying full value to Antony Holsaer, Benjamein Holsaer, Dirick Langstraat and Marytntje Langstraat when they are of age or marry the ninth part of said property. Signed by Antony alone. Wit by Henry Filkin and Ferdinand Vansycklyn, Jr. Ack. Sept. 15, Rec'd Sept. 16, 1698 before and by Henry Filkin, Reg.
We know from the ante-nuptial agreement that Dirck had three children by his first wife Catherine, viz. eldest son Stoffel and a brother and a sister. In the Warshaer deed we learn the name of the brother, i.e. Arian (Adrian, Aaron). We learn the name of the sister, Classje, from (M-11). Thus Dirck's first three children, by Catherine, were: Stoffel, Adrian and Classje. The Warshaer deed names two more as minors in 1698, and therefore of the second marriage, i.e. Dirick and Maryntje.
This list of five does not wholly agree with the Flatlands census of 1698. Who the third child of that list may have been remains undetermined.
The list of five is also in disagreement with (Register of Early Settlers in Kings County, Long Island, New York, By T.G. Bergen), where Bergen states that the children of Dirck were: Stoffel, Classje, Adrian, Richard of Shrewsbury, Johannis (sup), and Samuel (sup). Berger may have counted Johannis Holsard of the Warshaer deed as a Longstreet, in error. Of his "Samuel", there is no present explanation. Nor do we know why Bergen credited "Richard of Shrewsbury" to a place as a son of the Immigrant Dirck, for the Warshaer deed again lists "Dirick" as a minor in 1698, and in any case born after 1690, as a son of Dirck and Johanna. In the light of such data as we now have, it seems likely that this "Richard" is a grandson of Dirck by his son Stoffel, and the author of will #2659M (see later); that is, he is the Dirick b. 1696 to Stoffel and Mayke Lanen. Therefore we shall proceed to develop his family history on the assumption that the immigrant ancestor founded his line upon the two elder sons, viz. Stoffel and Adrian (Aaron). Of his third son, by Johanna, we have no further data.
DIRCK STOFFELSE [Children:] -Stoffel Dircksen b. ca. 1666 -Classje Dircksen b. ca. 1672 -Adrian (Aaron) bp. 9-16-1677
(Omitting Dirck's two children by his second marriage - Dirick and Maryntje - for neither of whom we have any record of issue.)”

Married: Catharina Van Lieuwen
Died: after 1698 in New Jersey
Children:
-Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet

Dirck Stoffels Langestraet immigrated to New Netherlands in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant as Director of the Province, two years after the erection of the Church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the Province by Nicholls. Dirck Stoffels Langestraet settled in the area known as the Flatlands, (Amersfoort); and this fact indicates that since this particular village was of less consequence than either Flatbush, (only three miles away), or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited the town came, renders it very possible that the Langestraet's came from Utrecht. Dirck, or "Richard" in the English language, was in 1677 a member in good standing of the Flatlands Church. He may have been a member of this church for many years, however the church records for Flatbush didn't begin until 1677.
In September of 1687, thirteen years after the first cession of the Province to England, there was a general administration of the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown to be made by all Dutch people; Dirck took that oath at the Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693 and on a census roll in 1698. After this his name appears no more on the Long Island records; and it is believed that he moved into New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”

In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”

“The Longstreet Family.
This substantial family springs from THEOPHILUS LANGSTRAAT (1), of Holland, through a son, Dirck, (2), who came to America in 1657. The Anglicised form of the name sufficiently indicates its original meaning and derivation.
DIRCK STOFFELSE LANGSTRAAT (2), son of Theophilus (or Stoffel) (1), came to America in 1657, eventually settling in Shrewsbury Township. (It may be noted here that among the Dutch the syllables, s, se, pe, and sometimes, te were used to indicate the paternity of the individuals to whom they were assigned, apparently as middle-names. Often the original last names, were dropped and only the "middle-name" retained. Thus we have the families of Hendricks, Laen, Giberson, and Tysen, all proceeding from an original (probably VanPelt), through several brothers who were respectively christened Hendrick, Laen, Gilbert, and Matthias, or Tice.) Dirck Longstreet married first, Catherine VanSiddock, and, secondly, Johannah Havens, widow of Johannis Holshart. His children were: Richard (3), of Shrewsbury; Adrien (or Aaron,) (4); Theophilus (or Stoffle), (5); Samuel (6); and, Classje (7)
ADRIEN, or AARON. (4), son of Dirck (2), was born in 1677 and died in 1728. He was a cordwainer, and lived in Freehold Township. He married, in 1707, Christina (or Stanchke) Janse. Their children were: John (8); Derrick (9); Stoffle (10); Katherine (11); Nelly (12); Winifred (13); Maria (14); Arinche (15), and, one other child (16), perhaps Christopher, who died in 1758 leaving children, Court (91), and Christine (92), both under age at the death of their father. Of these last Christine is said to have married John Saunders, from whom she was divorced by Legislative Enactment in 1780.
THEOPHILIS (OR STOFFLE) (5), son of Dirck (2), was born in Flatlands, Long Island, and died on his farm on the Manasquan River, in New Jersey, about 1741. He married Moyka, daughter of Gilbert Lane. She died about 1753. Moyka is, I think, the equivalent of the English Mercy. Their children were: Richard (17), of Squan, whose children are said to have been Derrick (42), born September 1745, and Anne (43), born June 1, 1748; Gilbert (18); Aury (19); Stoffel (20); Yonica (21); Catherine (22), who is supposed to have married William Chamberlain Jr.; Mary or Maria, (23), who married William, son of Daniel and Catherine Hendrickson; Sarah (24); Moika (25), who married and had children: and, Anne (26).
GILBERT LONGSTREET (18), son of Stoffel (5), lived at Squan, where he died in 1756 or 1758. His wife is supposed to have been Rachel, daughter of Garret and Nelly (Voorhees) Schenck, who married, secondly, Jacobus VanDorn. Their children were: Rachel (44), who died in 1765, having married William VanDorn, who married secondly, Mary Hunt; Garret (45), of Squan; Gilbert (46); Moyca (47); Nely (48); Jane, or Ouicha (49), married John Lake; and, Elizabeth (50).
AURY (OR AARON) LONGSTREET (19), son of Stoffle (5), was of Rocky Hill, near Princeton. One authority says that he married Catherine, daughter of Samuel Osborne, of Squan, who died before 1759. Another, makes her to have married John Longstreet. The name of his wife needs confirmation, as do those of his children, which have been given as: Moyka (51); Aaron (51-1/2); Richard (51-1/2); and, Lydia (52), bp. 6-10-1759.
STOFFLE LONGSTREET (20), son of Stoffle (5), was baptised 12-25-1713, and died 1784. He is said to have married Abagail, daughter of Thomas and Patience Woolley, who was born 3-17-1717, and to have been father of at least one child, Samuel, (41-1/2), who died 12-21-1829, at the age of 94.”

“DIRCK STOFFELS LANGESTRAET immigrated in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Stuyvesant as Director of the province, two years after the erection of the church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the province by Nicholls. He settled at Flatlands (Amersfoort); and this fact, since the village was of less consequence than either Flatbush (only three miles may) or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited and named it presumably came, renders it probable that Langestraets were from Utrecht. However that may be, Dirck (or Richard, in the English) was in 1677, a member of the Flatlands church, sitting under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Zuuren. He may have been for years before that an active member of the church, and probably was; for it must be remembered that the lists in the Flatbush record begin with the year 1677. In 1687, in September, thirteen years after the first cession of the province to England, there was a general administration of an oath of allegiance to the British Crown to all of the Dutch people; and with the others, Dirck took that oath at Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693, and on a census roll of 1698. After this his name occurs no more on the Long Island records and it is thought that he moved to Monmouth county, New Jersey.
In his younger manhood, but after his arrival in this province, he married CATHARINA VAN LIEUWEN; afterward, in his older age, some time before, but not far from, February 13, 1690, he married Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. An ante-nuptial agreement made with this second wife is still to be found in the town records of Gravesend; and in it reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen. At an early period, date now unknown, he had bought land at Shrewsbury in New Jersey, which he devised by his will to his son Richard. By his first wife Catherina, he had issue as follows:

“Dirck Stoffels Langestraet
Born: Netherlands
Came to America in 1657
Married: Catharina Van Lieuwen
Died: after 1698 in New Jersey
Children:
-Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet
-Claasje Dircksen Langestraet (She was born about 1672, and married Abraham Lott of Jamaica)

Dirck Stoffels Langestraet immigrated to New Netherlands in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant as Director of the Province, two years after the erection of the Church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the Province by Nicholls. Dirck Stoffels Langestraet settled in the area known as the Flatlands, (Amersfoort); and this fact indicates that since this particular village was of less consequence than either Flatbush, (only three miles away), or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited the town came, renders it very possible that the Langestraet's came from Utrecht. Dirck, or "Richard" in the English language, was in 1677 a member in good standing of the Flatlands Church. He may have been a member of this church for many years, however the church records for Flatbush didn't begin until 1677.
In September of 1687, thirteen years after the first cession of the Province to England, there was a general administration of the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown to be made by all Dutch people; Dirck took that oath at the Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693 and on a census roll in 1698. After this his name appears no more on the Long Island records; and it is believed that he moved into New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”

“Frederick Van Lieuwen immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1652; which as stated before in the Longstreet section was the year in which the Dutch Admiral, Van Tromp, sailed the English channel with a broom at his mast head, it was seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the new Province, and two years preceding the organization of the first religious congregation on Long Island. He was the first of all those interrelated families to come over. He preceded the Langestraets by five years and the Lanen Van Pelts by eleven years. Not much is known about Frederick Van Lieuwen. He came from Utrecht, having been probably a resident of Leuwen, which is a village in Gelderland, located on the Waal River. He brought his family with him and settled in the village of Jamaica, located on Long Island. He had a total of nine children, many of whose descendants are still in Somerset County, New Jersey. History does not record all their names, however we do know the following: (Sources: "EARLY SETTLERS OF KINGS COUNTY," Bergen, pages 343-344)
CHILDREN:
-Jan Frederick Van Lieuwen. Born: 1647-48 in Utrecht in the Netherlands. He married Aeitje Jans, daughter of Jan Jensen. He was on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn 1675-1693. He was a Deacon in the Reformed Dutch Church; he took the Oath of Allegiance in 1687 in Brooklyn. He had eight children all of who were baptized in the Kings County Reformed Dutch Church.
-Catharina Van Lieuwen. Born about 1648
-Hendrick Van Lieuwen”

“Catharina Van Lieuwen
Born: 1648 in Utrecht, in the Netherlands
Married: Dirck Langestraet about 1669
Died about 1685 in Long Island
Catharina Van Lieuwen was one of the older children of Frederick Van Lieuwen, history books say she was probably the second born. She came with her family as a child to the New Netherlands in the Provinces. She married Dirck Stoffels Langestraet in about 1669, as her first child was born in 1670. There is no doubt that the Langestraets and Van Lieuwen's must have known one another as families in the Netherlands as both families came from Utrecht. We have no exact date of her death, however we base it on the following data: She had a son in 1680, and her husband Dirck remarried by 1690, therefore we suppose she died during that ten year span, saying "probably" 1685. She and her husband had lived at Flatlands (Amersfoort) on Long Island, and after his remarriage he moved to New Jersey. Therefore it is possible she is buried at, or near the Flatlands Church on Long Island.”

“Frederick Van Lieuwen (or Van Liew, as it was sometimes spelled) immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1612; which, as remarked in connection with the first Longstreets, was the year in which the Dutch Admiral, Van Tromp, sailed the English Channel with a broom at his mast-head, was seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first religious congregation on Long Island. He was the first of our related families to come over, preceding the Langestraets by five years, and the Lanen van Pelts by eleven years. Not much is known of him. He came from Utrecht, having been probably, at one period, a resident of Leuwen. a village in Gelderland, on the river Waal. He brought his family with him, and settled in the village of Jamaica, on Long Island. He had in all nine children, many of whose descendants are still to be found in Somerset Co., N. Jersey. Their names are not all known, but among them were the following:
(1) Jan Fredericks. Jan Fredericks was probably the oldest child; born in Utrecht about 1647-48. He marred Aeltie Jans, daughter of Jan Jansen. Was on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn in the years 1675. '76, ’83, and '93; deacon in the Reformed Dutch Church there, in 1683; took the oath of allegiance, there, in 1687. Issue: Jan, bapt. Dec. 9. 1677; Margriet, bapt. Mar. 14, 1680; Abraham, bapt. July 9, 1682; Grietje, bapt. Apl. 20, 1685; Dina. bapt. Mar. 25, 1687; Esje, bapt. Nov. 10, 1689: Hendrick. bapt. Apt. 30, 1694: and Elizabeth, bapt. Dec. 13, 1697 -- All in the Kings County Churches.
(2) Catharina, of whom next.
(3) Hendrick. ___ Hendrick was baptised Oct. 14, 1683: married. 1st., ApI. 18, 1713, Geerje Corteiyou of New Utrecht (at which place he probably resided at one time); married, 2nd, Marya ___, and had by her a son, Jurien, who was bapt. Aug. 26, 1721, in New Utrecht.
Catharine Van Lieuwen, wife of Dirck Langstraet, was one of the oldest children, probably the second. She was born about 1648-1650, and in Utrecht, in the Netherlands, in all probability must have married about 1669, as her family began to be born about 1670. We have no indication of the date of her death, further than this: that one of her sons was born about 1680, and her husband married a second time in February, 1690; so that she must have died between those dates. It was probably after 1685.”

“OUR IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR. DIRCK STOFFELSE.
The first record of the presence in America of our immigrant ancestor was made on June 14, 1663, when a list of "equipment and munitions of war" possessed by the Dutch settlers at Ameersfoort (Brooklyn) revealed that DIRCK STOFFELSEN was responsible for one pound of powder valued at one florin. (Documents Relating to the Colonial History of N.Y., II, 463) In September, 1687, there was a "roll of those who have taken the oath of allegiance in Kings County in the Province of New York ... in the 3rd year of His Maj Reigne", and in this roll, "off fflackland" we find entered:
DIRCK STOFFELSE - 30 Jeare STOFFEL DIRCKSEN - native
Intrepreted, this means that Dirck had lived in the colony for 30 years (which sets the date of his arrival as 1657) and that his son Stoffel was born in the colony. (Documentary History of New York, I, 431) The following ante-nuptial agreement found in the Gravesend Town Records, Bk 3 p. 114, gives us more information about Dirck:
“To all Christian people to whom this present writing shall come: Know ye thatt I Dirck Stoffelsen living att Ameersfoort in Kings County upon Long Island in ye province of New York weduwaer of Catherine van Lewen deceased, being now remarried with Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased my present wife:
Therefore know ye thatt I Dirck Stoffelsen above sd being in perfect memorie make hereby my present loving wyf Johanna haavens in my last will and testament my sole joynty heir and executrix of all my whole estate both moveable and unmoveable onely excepted my eldest son Stoffel direcksen shale injoye a lumm for weavings, so as ye lumm comes from ye workman: in the time of a yeare from ye date here of above his tother brother and sister butt all my whole estate as above sd is left unto my loving wyf Johanna haavens: she to be my joynty heir and executrix duering her lifetime: without any molestation or disturbance by my children, or by thier procurement, att any time or times whatsoever hereafter; remarrion or nott remarrien, my loving wyf above shall remain my joynty heire and executrix.
And therefore I Johanna havens widdow of Johannis holsard deceased, living in ye same towne and countie and province above specified, being now remarried with Dirck Stoffelsen my present husband I Johanna above sd being in perfect memorie, doe hereby as my last will and testament, make my present loving husband my sole and joynty heir and executor of all my estate moveable and unmoveable none excepted and if god should be pleased to give us children together in our marriage, them children then with the rest of our fore children: are to have equal portion together after our decease butt ye surviving of us either male or female is to possess both whole estates of both sides without molestation or disturbance of both parties theire children or anyone else of theire procurement att any time or times whatsoever hereafter: this is our will so to do being in perfect memorie, and in confirmation both parties have hereunto sett our hands this 18 of februa 1690/1.
DIRCK STOFFELS JOHANNA HAVENS
Subscribed and Acknowledged in the presence of us:
ARSTEN JANSEN BARENT YUIANSEN JOHN EMANS: Clerke”
We do not know the date of death of Dirck's first wife Catherine, but she was with him as witness to a baptism on 11-16-1684 (Documentary History of New York, 1898). As we see above, Dirck was remarried by Feb. 18, 1690/1. In 1698, there was a census of Flatland, Long Island, in which was listed the then family of Dirck Langstraat, consisting of "Men 1 Wo 1 Chil 3" (Kings County, New York, Genealogical Club Collections, III, 88). On 4-25-1696, Dirch is recorded with his second wife Johanna Havens at the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, witnessing the baptism of grandsons Jan and Dirck (History of Middlesex County, NJ, by Wall and Pickersgill I,79) The last known record of this family in Long Island is the following: (New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 54:180)
“Sept. 10, 1698: Antony Warshaer of Flatlands and Maritje his wife deed Stoffel Langstraat, Adrian Langstraat, Johannes Holsaer, Classje Lake and Cretje Williamse, late of Kings County, house, orchard, etc. in Flatlands bounded by property of John Vandyckhuys and Derick Amertman. The parties of the second part paying full value to Antony Holsaer, Benjamein Holsaer, Dirick Langstraat and Marytntje Langstraat when they are of age or marry the ninth part of said property. Signed by Antony alone. Wit by Henry Filkin and Ferdinand Vansycklyn, Jr. Ack. Sept. 15, Rec'd Sept. 16, 1698 before and by Henry Filkin, Reg.
We know from the ante-nuptial agreement that Dirck had three children by his first wife Catherine, viz. eldest son Stoffel and a brother and a sister. In the Warshaer deed we learn the name of the brother, i.e. Arian (Adrian, Aaron). We learn the name of the sister, Classje, from (M-11). Thus Dirck's first three children, by Catherine, were: Stoffel, Adrian and Classje. The Warshaer deed names two more as minors in 1698, and therefore of the second marriage, i.e. Dirick and Maryntje.
This list of five does not wholly agree with the Flatlands census of 1698. Who the third child of that list may have been remains undetermined.
The list of five is also in disagreement with (Register of Early Settlers in Kings County, Long Island, New York, By T.G. Bergen), where Bergen states that the children of Dirck were: Stoffel, Classje, Adrian, Richard of Shrewsbury, Johannis (sup), and Samuel (sup). Berger may have counted Johannis Holsard of the Warshaer deed as a Longstreet, in error. Of his "Samuel", there is no present explanation. Nor do we know why Bergen credited "Richard of Shrewsbury" to a place as a son of the Immigrant Dirck, for the Warshaer deed again lists "Dirick" as a minor in 1698, and in any case born after 1690, as a son of Dirck and Johanna. In the light of such data as we now have, it seems likely that this "Richard" is a grandson of Dirck by his son Stoffel, and the author of will #2659M (see later); that is, he is the Dirick b. 1696 to Stoffel and Mayke Lanen. Therefore we shall proceed to develop his family history on the assumption that the immigrant ancestor founded his line upon the two elder sons, viz. Stoffel and Adrian (Aaron). Of his third son, by Johanna, we have no further data.
DIRCK STOFFELSE [Children:] -Stoffel Dircksen b. ca. 1666 -Classje Dircksen b. ca. 1672 -Adrian (Aaron) bp. 9-16-1677
(Omitting Dirck's two children by his second marriage - Dirick and Maryntje - for neither of whom we have any record of issue.)” 		Van Lieuwen, Catharina (I5607)

“Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet
Born: about 1666 in probably New Utrecht, New Netherlands (America)
Married: Moica Lanen Van Pelt in 1695, she was the daughter of Gysbrecht Tuysz Lanen Van Pelt of New Utrecht, in New Netherlands.
He died about 1 March 1741 in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

-Anna Langestraet. Born 1718 in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Stoffel Langestraet was a Deacon of the Flatlands Church in 1698. Not long after this he, his brother Adrian, and his father moved across to New Jersey. There he settled in the Neversink Hills, (some references say at Deal) which was in Monmouth County, where his descendants abound to this day.
From the "AMERICAN WEEKLY MERCURY," dated 14-21 of February 1726-27 the following extract is taken:
"Langestraet, Theophilus from Shrewsbury in East Jersey, on Saturday, the last day of December 1726. Theophilus Langestraet of Shewsbury in the County of Monmouth aged nearly sixty years, he met with seven swans flying over a meadow, he shot down six of them with one shot, such a shot was never known amongst us."
His Will dated 1 December 1739, was probated on 1 March 1741; meaning he probably died toward the date of probate. In his Will he refers to himself as "THEOPHILUS," an erroneous interpretation of his proper name of Stoffel, or Christopher. It is interesting to note that although he refers to himself as "Theophilus Longstreet," he signs his name on the legal document as "Stoffel Langestraet." The Will of his wife was dated 8 April 1752, and it was probated 13 March 1753; again she must have died toward the later date. These Wills named ten children, their four sons, and six daughters.

NARRATIVE
Having brought this family to this point, and having reached the period of time where the name assumed its English form of LONGSTREET it may be helpful and interesting to interrupt the generational flow for a few pages to consider what manner of people these were and exactly how they lived. History tells us something about the traits and habits of their friend's and neighbor's.
"From their family conversations, and among themselves in their business matters, they always spoke the Dutch language. They had a frugal mode of life, their severe and constant bodily labor, and their economical habits were proverbial. For many generation's their word was their bond, a verbal contract being deemed sufficient. They toiled hard and the money they earned they studiously endeavored to save it by prudent investment. They indulged in no costly dress or equipage, and in home spun garments, clean, neat, and whole. They would visit the market place and the sanctuary. The avails of the family's work, in spuming flax and wool, in weaving and coloring, were constantly seen in the ordinary dress, and in the many articles for family use. Goodly stores of domestic linens and woolens were sure to be found in every well-regulated family. "Nor were they apt to be long retained in the piece, as they came from the weaver's hands, or from the filling and dressing mills. They were at the earliest convenience of the industrious mother and her active daughters, manufactured into appropriate garments for every member of the family. So far did these provident arrangements extend that in the event of a death the habiliments for the corpse need not be sent for, or hurried put together. The well-stored cases, or old-fashioned clothes press, contained them all. We have seen on some occasions the beautifully platted and well-crimped garments brought forth to meet the painful situation. From the very same bountiful storeroom, when the daughters went forth in the new relation of wives, and commenced housekeeping, their mothers industry and their own early labors were well attested by the goodly supply of personal garments, with bedding of every description, and in more recent times with beautiful rugs, all of their own spinning and coloring.
It was however very common for the youthful husband and wife to have their home, for the first year of married life under the roof of her parents. With the young people the custom long prevailed of riding on horseback. Especially about the season so of the holidays in New York; Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide. In the evening rides a beau and a belle mounted on the same horse, the latter seated behind the former, with firm grip holding on to him Go where you might, you were sure to see, near the parental dwelling a huge stepping block, with its convenient and wide notches, serving as steps to ascend to the top, as a firm foundation on which a young girl would stand until a well kept steed should be brought up, and thence to spring into her seat; and on returning, to alight. It is only within the past twenty-five years (this was written in 1856) that this once favorite mode of youthful riding gave way to a substantial wagon, and now to a more tasteful buggy. On marriage occasions, long processions of wagons, or sleighs with the mirthful escort of 'the happy twain made one', told of the nuptials wherever they went, the whole company singing by the way.
If they did not possess the luxuries of the neighboring city of New York, or indulge in its extravagances, the people did possess and enjoy their own home comforts, and were very well content.
In the older churches the number of the first hymn was set with movable figures set at the sides of the pulpit. These the clerk would properly arrange before the service so that everyone might readily prepare to sing. It was also the Clerks duty to have an hour glass placed near the minister at the commencement of the sermon, and as the last grains of sand left the upper cavity, it was a reminder that the conclusion had arrived. Some preachers however, quietly allowed the sand to run out, and then informed their audience, that as they sat so patiently through one sermon, they would proceed with another. The collections during the service were taken with a velvet bag, attached to the end of a long pole, with a small alarm bell fastened to the end. When a coin was given, the bell rang; if it passed through a pew silently, it showed that nothing had been given by persons in that pew. It required great experience and dexterity to handle them well, to avoid the pillars and the bonnets. Previous to 1802 there were no stoves in the churches. The ladies were accustomed to bringing their foot stoves, and to replenish them at a house nearby.
In those days when a lady went out to spend the day, or to make an afternoon visit at the parsonage, they carried their spinning wheels and flax with them. Among the old social customs was one to furnish the persons invited to funerals with 'tobacco, pipes and liquor', a custom which became sadly abused. This custom was abandoned in 1815. Funeral sermons were not used in the Dutch church during these times."

“(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt
Born about 1652 in Liege, Belgium
Married Jaanetje Ariens (Adraiens) Van Laer
He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.
CHILDREN:
-Jannetje Lanen Van Pelt
-Wilhelmyntje Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 6 September 1677 in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen
-Matthys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 23 August 1679 in Brooklyn, died very young.
-Catalina Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 24 April 1681 in Flatbush; believed to have married Elias DeHart.
-Thys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 30 March 1683 in Brooklyn, moved with his father to Monmouth County; his Will was probated 13 August 1729. 269 (Source: Secretary of State at Trenton, Libber B, page 215) He fathered seven children.
-Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 April 1685 in Brooklyn. Moved with his father to Monmouth County.
-Mary Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 March 1689 in Flatbush; believed to have married F. Van Sicklen
-Joost Lanen Van Pelt. Born blind
-Moica (called "Mayke," a pet name) Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1675, she was the oldest of her father's children. Her Will immediately follows that of her father. It is recorded in New Jersey; dated 8 April 1752, probated 13 March 1753, she probably died closer to the latter date. It is interesting to note how VERY IMPORTANT it was to her that her daughters, and her daughters’ daughters, and ANY female heirs thereafter always be provided for ... putting her estate into investments, and letting the interest always provide for the female off spring.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors.

This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me.

“Dirck Stoffels Langestraet
Born: Netherlands
Came to America in 1657
Married: Catharina Van Lieuwen
Died: after 1698 in New Jersey
Children:
-Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet
-Claasje Dircksen Langestraet (She was born about 1672, and married Abraham Lott of Jamaica)
-Adrian Dircksen Langestraet (He was baptized 16 September 1677, and married Christina Janse in 1707, he resided in New Jersey)
-Richard Dircksen Langestraet (He was born 1680)
-Daughter (name unknown) (She married Samuel Osborne)
-Samuel Dircksen Langestraet (Married Barbara Antonides)
Dirck Stoffels Langestraet immigrated to New Netherlands in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant as Director of the Province, two years after the erection of the Church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the Province by Nicholls. Dirck Stoffels Langestraet settled in the area known as the Flatlands, (Amersfoort); and this fact indicates that since this particular village was of less consequence than either Flatbush, (only three miles away), or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited the town came, renders it very possible that the Langestraet's came from Utrecht. Dirck, or "Richard" in the English language, was in 1677 a member in good standing of the Flatlands Church. He may have been a member of this church for many years, however the church records for Flatbush didn't begin until 1677.
In September of 1687, thirteen years after the first cession of the Province to England, there was a general administration of the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown to be made by all Dutch people; Dirck took that oath at the Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693 and on a census roll in 1698. After this his name appears no more on the Long Island records; and it is believed that he moved into New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”

3. The book “This old Monmouth of ours: history, tradition, biography, genealogy, and other anecdotes related to Monmouth County, New Jersey,” by William S. Hornor (Cottonport, Louisiana: Polyanthos, 1974) “The Longstreet (Langstraat Family),” pp. 127-28:
“The Longstreet Family.
This substantial family springs from THEOPHILUS LANGSTRAAT (1), of Holland, through a son, Dirck, (2), who came to America in 1657. The Anglicised form of the name sufficiently indicates its original meaning and derivation.
DIRCK STOFFELSE LANGSTRAAT (2), son of Theophilus (or Stoffel) (1), came to America in 1657, eventually settling in Shrewsbury Township. (It may be noted here that among the Dutch the syllables, s, se, pe, and sometimes, te were used to indicate the paternity of the individuals to whom they were assigned, apparently as middle-names. Often the original last names, were dropped and only the "middle-name" retained. Thus we have the families of Hendricks, Laen, Giberson, and Tysen, all proceeding from an original (probably VanPelt), through several brothers who were respectively christened Hendrick, Laen, Gilbert, and Matthias, or Tice.) Dirck Longstreet married first, Catherine VanSiddock, and, secondly, Johannah Havens, widow of Johannis Holshart. His children were: Richard (3), of Shrewsbury; Adrien (or Aaron,) (4); Theophilus (or Stoffle), (5); Samuel (6); and, Classje (7)
ADRIEN, or AARON. (4), son of Dirck (2), was born in 1677 and died in 1728. He was a cordwainer, and lived in Freehold Township. He married, in 1707, Christina (or Stanchke) Janse. Their children were: John (8); Derrick (9); Stoffle (10); Katherine (11); Nelly (12); Winifred (13); Maria (14); Arinche (15), and, one other child (16), perhaps Christopher, who died in 1758 leaving children, Court (91), and Christine (92), both under age at the death of their father. Of these last Christine is said to have married John Saunders, from whom she was divorced by Legislative Enactment in 1780.
THEOPHILIS (OR STOFFLE) (5), son of Dirck (2), was born in Flatlands, Long Island, and died on his farm on the Manasquan River, in New Jersey, about 1741. He married Moyka, daughter of Gilbert Lane. She died about 1753. Moyka is, I think, the equivalent of the English Mercy. Their children were: Richard (17), of Squan, whose children are said to have been Derrick (42), born September 1745, and Anne (43), born June 1, 1748; Gilbert (18); Aury (19); Stoffel (20); Yonica (21); Catherine (22), who is supposed to have married William Chamberlain Jr.; Mary or Maria, (23), who married William, son of Daniel and Catherine Hendrickson; Sarah (24); Moika (25), who married and had children: and, Anne (26).
GILBERT LONGSTREET (18), son of Stoffel (5), lived at Squan, where he died in 1756 or 1758. His wife is supposed to have been Rachel, daughter of Garret and Nelly (Voorhees) Schenck, who married, secondly, Jacobus VanDorn. Their children were: Rachel (44), who died in 1765, having married William VanDorn, who married secondly, Mary Hunt; Garret (45), of Squan; Gilbert (46); Moyca (47); Nely (48); Jane, or Ouicha (49), married John Lake; and, Elizabeth (50).
AURY (OR AARON) LONGSTREET (19), son of Stoffle (5), was of Rocky Hill, near Princeton. One authority says that he married Catherine, daughter of Samuel Osborne, of Squan, who died before 1759. Another, makes her to have married John Longstreet. The name of his wife needs confirmation, as do those of his children, which have been given as: Moyka (51); Aaron (51-1/2); Richard (51-1/2); and, Lydia (52), bp. 6-10-1759.
STOFFLE LONGSTREET (20), son of Stoffle (5), was baptised 12-25-1713, and died 1784. He is said to have married Abagail, daughter of Thomas and Patience Woolley, who was born 3-17-1717, and to have been father of at least one child, Samuel, (41-1/2), who died 12-21-1829, at the age of 94.”

4. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D-41:
“Moica Lanen Van Pelt, married Stoffel Langestraet as stated. Their first child was baptised Apl. 25, 1697; so that Mayke was probably married in or near the end of the year 1695, and must have been born about the year 1675. She was therefore probably her father's oldest child. Her will is of record in New Jersey, is dated April 8, 1752; and was probated March 13, 1753; so that she must have died between those dates. See Appendix 2.”

5. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D17-D21:
“STOFFEL DIRCKSEN LANGESTRAET was born about 1666.
About 1695 he married MOICA, (called by way of pet name MAYKE or Maicken) LANEN VAN PELT, daughter of Gysbrecht Tuysz Lanen Van Pelt, of New Utrecht. He was a deacon of the Flatlands church in the year 1698. Not long after this he, his brother Adrian, and probably his father moved across to New Jersey. There he settled on the Neversink Hills (some accounts say at Deal) in Monmouth County, where his descendants abound to this day.
From the "American Weekly Mercury," of date February 14-21, 1726-7, the following extract is taken:
"Langstreat Theophilus.-From the Shrewsbury in East Jersey, on Saturday, the last day of December, 1726, Theophilus Longstreat, of Shrewsbury in the county of Monmouth, aged near sixty years, he met with seven swans flying over a meadow, who shot down six of them at one shot, such a shot was never known amongst us."
His will, dated December 1, 1739, was probated March 1, 1741; and he therefore died about the latter date. In that will, he calls himself "Theophilus," an erroneous interpretation of his proper name of Stoffel, or Christopher. He signed his name "Stoffel Langstrat." The will of his wife was dated April 8, 1752, and it was probated Mar. 13, 1753; so that she must have died about the latter date. These wills name some of their children, but not all of them. (See Appendix 1, and Appendix 2.) Those children, so far as now known, were as follows:
1. Dirck (Richard), baptized in Brooklyn, April 25, 1697. (Dirck married a wife named Jane, or Jonica. He died Dec. 4, 1795, in his 99th year. We find this mention of him in "The Historical Collections of New Jersey," on page 351: "The following account of an incursion of the British into this township in the American Revolution, is contained in a published letter, dated Kildare, Monmouth Co., April 9, 1778: 'About 135 of the enemy landed on Sunday last, about 10 o'clock, on the south side of Squam inlet, burnt all the salt-works, broke the kettles, etc., stripped the beds, etc., of some people there, who I fear wished to serve them; then crossed the river, and burnt all except Dirrick Longstreet's. After this mischief they embarked. The next day they landed at Shark river, and set fire to two salt-works, when they observed fifteen horsemen heave In sight, which occasioned them to retreat with great precipitation; indeed, they jumped in their fiat-bottomed boats with such precipitation they sunk two of them." At the time of this fortunate escape, Dirck was 82 years of age.)
2. Jane (or Jonica), born about 1698.
3. Catherine, born about 1700; married Jan Sutphen, of New Jersey, about 1720.
4. Mary (or Maria), baptized May 6, 1702; married first Wm. Hendricksen, of New Jersey; and second, Dirck Sutphen.
5. Sarah, born about 1705.
6. Gisbert (or Gilbert) born about 1707; baptized November 26, 1710; married Rachel Schenck; died in 1758.
7. Aaron, baptized Nov. 6. 1710; married May 6, 1754, Lydia Hull.
8. Stoffel, of whom hereafter.
9. Moica, baptized March 6. 1716; supposed to have married Johannes, Leek.
10. Anna born about 1718.
Having brought the family history down to the middle of the last century, and reached the period when the name assumed its English form of LONGSTREET it may be helpful and interesting to interrupt the course of the narrative in order to consider what manner of people these were and after what fashion they lived. History tells us something of the traits and habits of their friends and neighbors.
"In their family intercourse, and among themselves in their business matters, they continued to use the Dutch language. Several of the old people do so to this day. Their frugal mode of life, their severe and constant bodily labor, their-economical habits, were proverbial. For many generations, their word was their bond, a verbal contract being deemed sufficient. If they toiled hard and earned money they studiously endeavored to save it by prudent investment. They indulged in no costly dress or equipage, and in home-spun garments, neat, clean and whole, they visited the market-place and the sanctuary. The avails of the family toil, in spinning flax and wool, in weaving and coloring, were constantly seen in the ordinary dress, and in the many articles for family use. Goodly stores of domestic linens and woolens were sure to be found in every well-regulated family.
"Nor were they apt to be long retained in the piece, as they came from the weaver's hands, or from the fulling and dressing mills. They were at the earliest convenience of the industrious mother and her active daughters, manufactured into appropriate garments for every member of the family. So far did these provident arrangements extend that in the event of a death, the habiliments for the corpse need not be sent for, or hurriedly put together. The well stored cases or old fashioned clothes-press, contained them all. We have seen on some occasions, the beautifully plaited and well crimped garments brought forth meet the painful exigency. From the same bountiful stores, when the daughters went forth in the new relation of wives, and commence house keeping, their mothers industry, and their own early labors, were well attested by the goodly supply of personal garments, with bedding of every description, and in more recent times, with beautiful domestic carpeting, of their own spinning and coloring.
"It was, however, common for the youthful husband and wife to have their home, for the first year of married life under the roof of her parents.
"With the young people of both sexes, the custom long prevailed of riding on horse-back. Especially about the seasons of the holidays at New York, Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide. In the evening rides, going in pairs, a beau and a belle mounted on the same animal, the latter seated behind the former, with firm, grip holding on to him who had sought her company. Go where you might, you were sure to see, near the parental dwelling, the huge stepping-block, with its convenient and wide notches, well cut in, serving for steps by which to ascend to its even top, as a firm foundation on which for the sprightly girl to stand until the well-kept steed should be brought up, and thence to spring into her seat; and on which, on returning, to alight It is only within the last twenty-five years (written 1856) this once favorite mode of youthful pleasure-riding, gave way to that of companies of two pairs each, in a substantial wagon, and which, in still later days, has been superseded by the most tasteful buggy. On marriage occasions, long processions of wagons or sleighs, filled with the mirthful escort of 'the happy twain made one,' told of the nuptials, wherever they went, the whole company singing by the way. If they did not possess the luxuries of the neighboring city of New York, or indulge in its extravagances, the people did possess and enjoy their home comforts, and were well content.
"In the old churches the number of the first psalm was set with movable figures suspended at the sides of the pulpit. These the clerk properly arranged before service, so that everyone might readily prepare to sing. It was also the clerk's duty to have an hour-glass properly placed near the minister at the commencement of the sermon, and as the last grains of sand left the upper for the lower cavity, it was a reminder that the time had arrived for the conclusion. Some preachers, however, quietly allowed the sand to run out, and then informed their audience, that as they had sat so patiently through the one, they, would proceed with a second. The collections during the service were taken in velvet bags attached to the ends of long poles, with a small alarm bell fastened to the end. When a coin was given the bell rang; if it passed through a pew silently, it showed that nothing had been contributed by the persons in that pew. It required experienced dexterity to handle them well, to avoid the pillars and the bonnets. Previous to 1802 there were no stoves in the churches. The ladies were accustomed to bring their foot-stoves, and to replenish them at a house near by.
“In those days, when the ladies went out to spend the day, or to make an afternoon visit at the parsonage, they carried their spinning wheels and flax with them. Among the old social customs was one to furnish the persons invited to funerals, with tobacco, pipes and liquor -- a custom which was sadly abused. This was happily abandoned about 1815. Funeral sermons do not appear to have been used in this church in olden times." (Authorities: “Early Settlers of King County,” Bergen, Langestraat; “Annals of Classes, etc., of Bergen,” Taylor, pp. 78-90; “Pamphlet of Consistory.”

6. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D39-D41:
“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;
(2) Willielmyntje, bap. Sept 6, 1677, in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen.
(3) Matthys, bap. Aug. 23, 1679, in Brooklyn; died young.
(4) Catalina. bapt. Apl. 24, 1681, in Flatbush; married (supposed) Elias De Hart.

“(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt
Born about 1652 in Liege, Belgium
Married Jaanetje Ariens (Adraiens) Van Laer
He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.
CHILDREN:
-Jannetje Lanen Van Pelt
-Wilhelmyntje Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 6 September 1677 in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen
-Matthys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 23 August 1679 in Brooklyn, died very young.
-Catalina Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 24 April 1681 in Flatbush; believed to have married Elias DeHart.
-Thys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 30 March 1683 in Brooklyn, moved with his father to Monmouth County; his Will was probated 13 August 1729. 269 (Source: Secretary of State at Trenton, Libber B, page 215) He fathered seven children.
-Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 April 1685 in Brooklyn. Moved with his father to Monmouth County.
-Mary Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 March 1689 in Flatbush; believed to have married F. Van Sicklen
-Joost Lanen Van Pelt. Born blind
-Moica (called "Mayke," a pet name) Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1675, she was the oldest of her father's children. Her Will immediately follows that of her father. It is recorded in New Jersey; dated 8 April 1752, probated 13 March 1753, she probably died closer to the latter date. It is interesting to note how VERY IMPORTANT it was to her that her daughters, and her daughters’ daughters, and ANY female heirs thereafter always be provided for ... putting her estate into investments, and letting the interest always provide for the female off spring.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty Power of God. And as touching such worldly estate as it hath pleased God bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner:
IMPRIMIS: I give, devise, bequeath, unto my loving wife Jane al my goods and chattels during her life; I give, devise, and bequeath to my sons, Adrian Lane, Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt, and Matthias Lanen Van Pelt, and my daughters, Moika Longstreet, Catherine D'Hart, Mary Lanen Van Pelt Seklah, Jane Lanen Van Pelt; and my grandchildren which were born of my daughter Williamea Hendrecksen late, deceased, the former wife of William Hendricksen, likewise deceased. After my wife's decease all my personal estate, goods, and chattels to be equally divided between them. Share and share alike in eight equal parts and proportions, and as concerning my son Joseph who is blind, my will and meaning is that within six weeks after my own and my wife's decease, and before my estate is parted and divided among my seven first mentioned children; and the children of my deceased daughter Williamea Hindricksen, that all my said seven children aforesaid; and grandchildren shall give bond of two hundred pounds unto each other with the condition that each and every one of them, shall bear their equal part and proportion according to the discretion of my Executors in the keeping and maintaining of their brother Joseph Lanen Van Pelt. This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me. Made in witness where of I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and the year above written.

“Abigail Verplanck. As already shown she married Aryan Van Laer, and that essentially is all that is known of her. She lived in Brooklyn, New York and had died before 1672, when her husband remarried. We do know that this Verplanck family of which she was a part is a very interesting one. It has furnished several men of distinction, exactly how she is related to each of these individuals, I did not bother to determine. We do know that they were one and the same family of Verplanck.
-Daniel C. Verplanck was a member of Congress from 1803-1809, afterwards he served as a Judge. His estate at Fishkill had been in the possession of the family since 1682, and the house was still standing in the 1960's. This house at one time was the headquarters of Baron Steuben, during the American Revolution; it was also in this house that Colonel Lewis Nichols proposed to Washington to accept the crown. (Source: APPLETON'S CYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY, Vol. VI, page 281; this also has a photo of the Verplanck house.)
-Gulian C. Verplanck 1786-1870 was a Professor of moral science and divinity, president of many literary and charitable societies, and member of Congress from 1825-1833. He was a state Senator 1838-1841; Vice Chancellor of the University of New York from 1855 until is death. He was the author of many esteemed works.
-Isaac A. Verplanck 1812-1873, was a distinguished jurist and judge.”

“THE FAMILY OF VERPLANCK.
ISAAC VERPLANCK. The existence of this progenitor is only known to us through the revelation by his son's name, as already explained.
ISAACSEN VERPLANCK, was the owner of Paulus Hoek (or the site of Jersey City) at one period, about 1640. He is frequently mentioned in the official publication, the Documentary Hist. of New York. A special note on him is found in O'Callaghan's Hist. of New Netherland, Vol. I, p. 185. His daughter.
ABIGAL VERPLANCK, as already shown, married Ayran Van Laer; and that is all we know of her.”

She was married about 1675; and must have lived until so late as 1690, as one of her children was baptized in 1689. As she had nine children, now known, she probably lived into the eighteenth century.”

6. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D-15:
“… the first comers were the family of Van Lieuwen, in 1652, in the year when Van Tromp was parading the English Channel with his broom aloft, seven years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant to the Directorship of the Province, and two years before the organization of the first congregation on Long Island. Next came the Longstreets, in 1657, five years later, and two years after the building of the church at Flatbush. Then arrived the family of Lanen van Pelt, in 1666, the year before the English seizure of the province, and fourteen years before the organization of the church at New Utrecht.
Although the family of Van Lieuwen preceded the Longstreets by five years, and the natural course of historical statement would therefore demand that account be first given of them, yet the logical arrangement of a genealogical narrative requires that the Longstreets be given precedence: they are the main branch, and any other course would beget confusion.
By way of preliminary, a statement in respect to Dutch names is needed. They then made but little use of family names. Many of them had none. Even in the most formal and important documents men are frequently designated by their Christian names alone; and that, where they were possessed of patronymics. It was, however, the custom to add to a man's own Christian name that of his father. These peculiarities cause much trouble, in tracing genealogies. There is one drawback on this difficulty, however, which is that the name of a person, as written, usually gives the Christian name of his father; thus Stoffel Dircks, means Stoffel the son of Dirck; Thys Janse means Thys the son of Jan. The terminations used for this purpose were various, but principally these: s, z, es, se, ces, en, sz.”

“(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt
Born about 1652 in Liege, Belgium
Married Jaanetje Ariens (Adraiens) Van Laer
He died in 1727 in New Jersey
Gysbrecht Thyssen Lanen Van Pelt (translated means, "Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane of Peel) was the youngest of his father's children by his first marriage, and it is reported that he was born in 1652 in, or near the vicinity of Liege, Belgium. About 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens (sometimes recorded as Adraiens), who was the daughter of Adraian Van Laer. Her name, as all Dutch names, reflects the name of her father. Gysbrecht appears on the Assessment Roll of New Utrecht dated 29 September 1676 as owning 1 poll, 2 horses, 3 cows, 18 Morgan, 36 acres of land; total tax ᶂ87. On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677, Gysbrecht and his wife were members. In the church body Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a Deacon in 1683, and Elder in 1685, and an Elder in 1695.
[Hi]s name appears on Gov. Donagan's patent to the town in 1686. In 1687 he took the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a "resident of 24 years standing." He appears on the census of 1698, but after that, just like the Longstreet's, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. He joined with the Longstreet's in their move to Monmouth County, New Jersey, which took place about 1700, in 1709 he was living near Freehold. It is very probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose names are Lane or Laan, are his descendants. Adrian, the brother of Gysbrecht, dropped the Van Pelt from his name almost as soon as he was old enough to write. According to Edward Mayes, in his book Genealogy of the Longstreet Family, he says that because some of the Lanen Van Pelt family dropped the "Van Pelt" from their name it really creates problems for those that came from the ancestor, yet have totally different names. Gysbrecht's Will is on record in the office of The Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Libber B, page 66. It is dated 7 November 1720 and was probated on 17 May 1727, therefore he must have died toward the latter date. A copy of his Will follows a listing of his children. The Will is PROOF that Moica Lanen Van Pelt, who married Stoffel Langestraet, was "in fact" the daughter of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt. It is interesting to make note of the fact that he DEMANDED that all of his children provide for "Joseph", Joost Lanen Van Pelt, their blind brother.
CHILDREN:
-Jannetje Lanen Van Pelt
-Wilhelmyntje Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 6 September 1677 in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen
-Matthys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 23 August 1679 in Brooklyn, died very young.
-Catalina Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 24 April 1681 in Flatbush; believed to have married Elias DeHart.
-Thys Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 30 March 1683 in Brooklyn, moved with his father to Monmouth County; his Will was probated 13 August 1729. 269 (Source: Secretary of State at Trenton, Libber B, page 215) He fathered seven children.
-Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 April 1685 in Brooklyn. Moved with his father to Monmouth County.
-Mary Lanen Van Pelt. Baptized 3 March 1689 in Flatbush; believed to have married F. Van Sicklen
-Joost Lanen Van Pelt. Born blind
-Moica (called "Mayke," a pet name) Lanen Van Pelt. Born about 1675, she was the oldest of her father's children. Her Will immediately follows that of her father. It is recorded in New Jersey; dated 8 April 1752, probated 13 March 1753, she probably died closer to the latter date. It is interesting to note how VERY IMPORTANT it was to her that her daughters, and her daughters’ daughters, and ANY female heirs thereafter always be provided for ... putting her estate into investments, and letting the interest always provide for the female off spring.

WILL OF GILBERT LANE
“Will of Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt
In the name of God, amen. The seventh day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, seven hundred and twenty. I Gilbert Lane (Gysbrecht Lanen Van Pelt) of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, and the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in health of body and perfect mind and memory thanks be given unto God for it. Therefore calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament. That is to say, principally, and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God that gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors. Nothing doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall receive the same again by the Mighty Power of God. And as touching such worldly estate as it hath pleased God bless me in this life, I give devise and dispose of the same in the following manner:
IMPRIMIS: I give, devise, bequeath, unto my loving wife Jane al my goods and chattels during her life; I give, devise, and bequeath to my sons, Adrian Lane, Cornelius Lanen Van Pelt, and Matthias Lanen Van Pelt, and my daughters, Moika Longstreet, Catherine D'Hart, Mary Lanen Van Pelt Seklah, Jane Lanen Van Pelt; and my grandchildren which were born of my daughter Williamea Hendrecksen late, deceased, the former wife of William Hendricksen, likewise deceased. After my wife's decease all my personal estate, goods, and chattels to be equally divided between them. Share and share alike in eight equal parts and proportions, and as concerning my son Joseph who is blind, my will and meaning is that within six weeks after my own and my wife's decease, and before my estate is parted and divided among my seven first mentioned children; and the children of my deceased daughter Williamea Hindricksen, that all my said seven children aforesaid; and grandchildren shall give bond of two hundred pounds unto each other with the condition that each and every one of them, shall bear their equal part and proportion according to the discretion of my Executors in the keeping and maintaining of their brother Joseph Lanen Van Pelt. This is yearly, and every year throughout is natural lifetime. But if any of my children shall refuse to give bond as aforesaid in my Will, they will lose their equal part and portion of my Estate, and be cut off from enjoying any part of estate, and their parts that shall so refuse to be equally divided among them that shall perform my will regarding Joseph. All must sign such bonds as mentioned aforesaid. Lastly, I appoint my said sons, Adrian, Cornelius, and Matthias, Executors of this my last Will and Testament hereby disannulling all former Wills heretofore either by word or by writing by me. Made in witness where of I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and the year above written.

“Aryan (or Adrian) Van Laer, is the first of this family of whom anything is known. He took the oath of allegiance to the English, at New York in 1664. In April 1666, he bought of Isaac Claesen two double building-lots in Amersfoort (Flatbush), as per page 58 of Liber D. of Flatbush records. Owned property in New York in 1672. On March 1, 1680-81, he bought of Simon Romeyn a house and lot in Flatbush, as per page 47 of Liber A. of Flatbush Records. His name appears on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn in 1683. Married 1st. Abigail, daughter of Abram Isaacsen Verplanck; and 2nd., on the 28th. of April, 1672, Luvtie Schouen, widow. Issue, so far as known.
(1) Jannetje, mar. Lanen van Pelt.
(2) Gerret. baptised Nov. 21, 1669, in New York.
JANNETJE ARYANS (or Adriens) VAN LAER must have been born about 1655, since she was certainly married in 1677, as shown by the New Utrecht Church list, and her husband was born in 1652. She was married about 1675; and must have lived until so late as 1690, as one of her children was baptized in 1689. As she had nine children, now known, she probably lived into the eighteenth century.”

4. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D39-D41:
“GYSBRECHT THYSSEN LANEN VAN PELT (or Gilbert the son of Matthias Lane) was the Youngest of his father's children by the first marriage: and is supposed to have been born in or near Liege, Belgium, in 1652. About the year 1675 he married Jannetje Ariens, or Adriaens, ascertained to be a daughter of Adrian Van Laer, after much difficulty in determining. Her name, according to the custom, merely indicated the Christian name of her father.
He appears on assessment roll of New Utrecht, date Sept. 29, 1676, thus: 1 poll. 2 horses. 3 cows, 18 morgens (36 acres) land, total £87.
On the organization of the New Utrecht church in 1677 by the Rev. Mr. Zuuren, of which account has been already given, Gysbrecht and his wife were enrolled as members. These persons were not, however, "joining the church” in the common acceptation of the term. They had probably been received before that by Dominic Polhemus. We have the full list of this interesting body, and they are as follows: Jan Hansen Van Nostrand, and Marritje, his wife; Myndert Korten, and Maria Praa, his wife; Daniel Vorveelen, and Alidia Schaatz, his wife; Jan Gysbertz; Willemje; Neeltje; Arie (or Adriaen) Willemz Bennett, and Agnietje Van Dyck, his wife; Jan Pietersz Van Deventer, and Maria, his wife; Tryntje Van Dyck; Gysbert Thys Van Pelt, and Jannetje Adrieans, his wife; Adriaantje; Joost Du Wein, and Magdalena Du Wein, his wife; Pieter Veritie; Jean Du Pre; Nicholaas Du Pre; Lourens Jansen, and Aaltje Gillis (De Mandeville), his wife; Mother of Joost Du Wien; Annetje Bocquet; Magdalena Van Pelt; -- twenty-seven members in all.
In this body, Gysbrecht was an active and influential worker for many years. He was a deacon in 1683, an elder in 1685, and an elder again in 1695.
His name appears on Gov. Dongan's patent to the town, in 1686. In 1687 he took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, describing himself as a resident of 24 years' standing. He appears in the census of 1698, but after that, like the Longstreets, no more on the records of Long Island, except that in 1706 he was assessed for 83 acres of land. Manifestly he joined with them in the removal to Monmouth County, N. Jersey, which took place about 1700; for certainly in 1709 he a living near Freehold.
It is probable that many of the people in East New Jersey, and their offspring scattered abroad, whose surnames are Lane, or Laan, are his descendants, or those of his brother Adrian, having dropped the "Van Pelt." Logically they are entirely correct; but the rather curious result follows, that from the same ancestor, of but a few generations back, came in direct male lines families going by the very different names of Lane and Van Pelt.
Gysbrecht's will is of record in the office of the Secretary of State of New Jersey, in Lib. B, on page 66. It bears date Nov. 7, 1720; and was probated May 17, 1727; so that he must have died near the latter date. A copy of it is given as Appendix 7. His children were as follows:
(1) Jannetje;
(2) Willielmyntje, bap. Sept 6, 1677, in Brooklyn; married William Hendricksen.
(3) Matthys, bap. Aug. 23, 1679, in Brooklyn; died young.
(4) Catalina. bapt. Apl. 24, 1681, in Flatbush; married (supposed) Elias De Hart.

Married Ann (or Auke) Schenck, and removed with his father to Monmouth Co.; will dated June 27, and probated Aug. 13, 1729, recorded on p. 215, of Liber B, in office of Secretary of State at Trenton. Issue. (1), Gilbert, mar. 7 Jany. 1741, Nellie Schenck; (2), Gerrett, bapt. Nov. 3, 1617 at Marlboro. Married Mayke Sutphen; (3) Aaron of the Raritan, married Sarah Cowenhoven at Marlboro; (4) Matthys, bapt. Feb. 6, 1723, married Elizabeth Sutphen; (5) Cornelius, married Elizabeth Warnsly; (8) Ralph; (9) Nelly, or Helen, (supposed) married Tunis Amak.

The four principal collectors of data were Charles Ruggles Knapp, Henry Eno Knapp, Ezra Fred Knapp and the author, Alfred Averill Knapp, but they were assisted through correspondence by a large number of individuals who furnished much valuable family and local information..."

B-2. There is considerable confusion over the records found concerning Timothy, Sr. and Jr. Sometimes it is uncertain which is referred to. Baird's History of Rye, N.Y. says: "Timothy Knap came to Rye, N.Y. ca. 1664. His house was on the corner of the road leading to the beach. The little congregation met in private dwellings, notably that of Timothy Knap, to whom the Town awarded forty shillings in 1662 for the liberty of his house to meet in, for the beating of the drum for the time past." There was no church as yet. "Not far from the parsonage house, on the opposite side of the Post Road was the house of Timothy Knap, where, for want of a church, the little community were accustomed to meet on Sabbath day for publish worship. They were called to the meeting by the sound of the drum. The services began early and lasted several hours. Evening meetings were unknown. The Sabbath was observed from sunset to sunset. The ordinance of the Lord's Supper was rarely celebrated but baptism was administered very generally." "The greatest part of them," says McBridge, "were baptized before the Church of England was settled here." Several of the "Dissenters" as he calls them are serious people. Some still Presbyterians or Independents in their judgements, but are persons well disposed and willing to partake of the Sacrament in what way they can rather than not at all. In obedience to the Act of 1693, on Feb. 28, 1694/5, Church Wardens and Vestrymen were elected. Timothy Knap was one of the latter. He was on the Building Committee in 1702. Toward the latter part of the century he removed to Greenwich, Conn., where his brother, Joshua, then lived, being recorded there in 1697, and there he took an active part in church matters. Religious and political differences between Timothy and his brother Caleb's family made them strangers to each other. He was on the Town Tax List at Greenwich in 1694/5, being listed at 47 pounds, 5 shillings. In 1704-1706 Timothy and Joshua Knap were on a church committee.
Timothy was a farmer. Probably he was also a blacksmith as he was also called "Smithy." He was Deputy to the Oct. 1670 session of the Court of Conn. or Legislature as it is now called. He served again in 1676-1682-1683. On Oct. 2, 1668, Timothy Knap and others signed a Petition to the Governor in regard to the Town of Rye and its settlement. Timothy Knapp and nine others received the Patent for Rye, lying in Conn. May 14, 1685. At the Town Meeting in 1708 the Town granted Timothy Knap, who apparently had taken lands under the Act of 1699, that he shall have his proportion of the lands in "Will's Purchase" on the lower end of Hackaliah Brown's Wolf-pit Ridge, when it shall be laid out. In 1683 Timothy Knap's name appears in the list of eighteen Proprietors of Peningo Neck, just south of village of Port Chester and included in the original "Will's Purchase" in the final apportionment and fixing of the boundaries of the original purchase of lands at Rye, the lands of Timothy and Moses Knap are located and their boundaries are fixed. Old names and places about Rye include- Timothy's Swamp-part of Saw-log Swamp, named after the old Constable of Rye, Timothy Knap."

ix. LYDIA KNAPP, b. say 1647; m. Fairfield 16 Jan 1666/7 Isaac Hall [FOOF 1:250]... COMMENTS: ... In the Beaverbrook Plowlands Nicholas Knapp received six acres, and in the Remote Meadows seven acres. Since these lands were granted in part on household size, this would suggest a birth in the interval between the two grants; the birth of Caleb fell exactly one month before the Beaverbrook Plowlands grant, and it may be that this was not taken into account for the Beaverbrook Plowlands grant, but was for the Remote Meadows grant. At the date of the Remote Meadows grant of seven acres, the Nicholas Knapp family was known to have five members: Nicholas, wife Elinor, and sons Timothy, Joshua and Caleb. This permits the possibility that there were one or two more persons in the household, not necessarily children; but the difference might also be explained if Nicholas had sufficient wealth in cattle, the other criterion for the size of these grants."

iii JOHN, b. about 1636 (aged 30 years on 25 June 1666 [WMJ 663]); m. by an unknown date Hannah ___. [Fairfield PR 4:141; NYGBR 49:293-94].
iv BETHIA, b. about 1638 (deposed 26 April 1654 aged "sixteen or thereabouts" [NHCR 2:83]); may have married Timothy Knapp or Joseph Taylor [see COMMENTS below].
v POSTHUME, b. late 1639 or early 1640 (as indicated by given name); possibly m. "John Winter, of Westchester, whose wife in several deeds 1692-94 rejoiced in the unusual name of 'Posthumy" [FOOF 1:108).
COMMENTS; Savage has brief and identical entries for this man under "Brandisly" and "'Brundish" [Savage 1:238, 281].
Our knowledge of the marriages of the children of this immigrant remains limited, principally because most of the children moved into Westchester County, and detailed work in the records of that jurisdiction has not been carried out. The existence of two candidates for the husband of Bethia Brundish apparently arises simply because these two men had wives named Bethia. In the case of Timothy Knapp, there is the added bit of evidence of a man named "Brundage Knapp" in the 1800 census of Salem, Westchester County (NYGBR 58:111), suggesting a genealogical connection between Brundish and Knapp, but we don't know enough to tell whether this man derived his name from the suggested marriage of Timothy Knapp.
BIBLlOGRAPHlC NOTE: In 1930 Jacobus published a brief account of John Brundish and his son John, in which he included an abstract of an important unrecorded deed [FOOF 1:107-9]."

7. The book "History of Stamford, Connecticut, 1641-1868…," by Rev. E. B. Huntington (A Corrected Reprint of the 1868 Edition, 1979), pp. 55-56:
"KNAPP, NICHOLAS, had land here in 1649, as appears from the land records. His wife, Eleanor, died August 16, 1658. Savage thinks he may have come in the fleet with Winthrop and Saltonstall in 1630., His children were Jonathan, born Dee. 27, 1631; Timothy, Dec. 14, 1632; Joshua, Jan. 5, 1635; Caleb Jan. 20, 1637. Sarah, Jan. 5, 1639; Ruth, Jan. 6, 16A1; and Hannah, March 6, 1643. After coming to Stamford he had probably Moses and Lydia. After the death of his wife, Eleanor, he married, March 9, 1659, Unity, widow of Peter Brown, who had also been the widow of Clement Buxton. He died in April 1670, and his will, now in the probate records of Fairfield, dated the 15th of that month, names the children in the following order: Moses, Timothy, Caleb, Sarah Disbrow, Hannah, Lidea, Ruth, and Sarah and Unica Buxton, daughters of Clement."

8. The periodical "Connecticut Ancestry," vol. 50, no. 4 (May 2008), " Ancestry of William Weed of Stamford and Darien, Connecticut (Continued), by Frederick C. Hart, Jr., CG, FASG, pp. 146-48:
"NICHOLAS1 KNAPP was in Watertown, Massachusetts by 1 March 1630/31, when he was fined for selling some "water of noe worth nor value" as a cure for scurvy.[1] Since this was wintertime when no ships made the Atlantic voyage, it is likely that he had arrived well before this time, perhaps during the summer of 1630.[2] Anderson estimates that he was born by about 1606, based on the estimated date of his marriage.[3] He died at Stamford between 15 and 27 April 1669/70, the dates of his will and his inventory.[4] The family name was generally spelled Knap until about 1800, but the current spelling of Knapp will be used herein, except when in a direct quotation.
His first wife and mother of his children, who died in Stamford on the 16th day, 6th month (16 August) 1658, was named ELEANOR ___.[5] He married (2) at Stamford on 9 March 1658/59 UNICA (___) (BUXTON) BROWN, widow of Clement Buxton and Peter Brown.[6] Since she was not mentioned in his will, she is presumed to have died before 1670.
The standard "Knapp Genealogy" is full of error and must be used with caution.[7] It does, however, contain some interesting historical and biographical information, including a list of the lands of Nicholas Knapp in Watertown, and a complete transcription of his will.[8] He appears to have left Watertown about May 1646, since he sold all the land he had received from the town there to Bryan Pendleton on the 6th day 3rd month 1646, and another acre of meadow (purchased separately in 1645) to Edward Garfield on the same date.[9] According to one Stamford historian, he was briefly in Rye, New York, and nearby Greenwich, before arriving in Stamford about 1649.[10]
For some unknown reason, the Stamford Town Records do not contain a complete listing of the lands of Nicholas Knapp as they do for many other early residents. He is, however, mentioned regularly as an adjoining landholder in many of the other residents' summaries. The Town Records do contain an interesting purchase on 26 September 1651 by "Nickels Knape" of Elias Bailey's house and home lot of 1 -1/2 acre, purchased earlier by Bailey from John Coe, and adjacent to land already in Knapp's possession.[11] Both Bailey and Coe left Stamford for Long Island, along with many other Stamford people.
Nicholas Knapp and his stepson Clement2 Buxton, son of his second wife Eunice, "the [a]foresayd Nicholas Knap haveing by and wth the mariage of ye Widdow Buxston administred upon ye estate of Clement Buxton, deceased" made an agreement on 8 March 1666/67 and recorded 31 January 1667/68, the young man having reached his majority, that he (Buxton) would receive title to his father's house and property in return for granting Knapp and his wife the life use of the house and 1/2 of the barn and home lot.[12] On the following day (9 March 1666/67) Nicholas Knapp added an additional detail to the agreement in which he gave "unto Clement Buxton a beding in ye house wch I now am resedent in and what conveniancy I can conveniantly acommodate him wth all for stoedge [storage] of what necisary things he have to put in so that it may be understood I grant him this priveledge as long as I shall live in the house. This my agreement made 9th March [16]66.[13]
Then, within a year on 19 October 1668, Nicholas Knap purchased the house and 1-1/2 acre homelot of Daniel Simpkins of Stamford for the price of "two oxen and on[e] cow in hand resived & for full satisfaction."[14] This homelot was between the homelots of Richard Scofield on the south and Thomas Lawrence on the north and bounded by the highway on the east and the mill lot on the west.
His will was dated at Stamford on 15 April (2nd Month) 1670, probated 21 October 1670, and named his children Moses, Timothy, Caleb, Joshua, Sarah Disbrowe, Hanna, Lidea, and Ruth. Sarah Buxton and Eunice Buxton are called daughters in law, and are left property out of the effects of their father Clement Buxton.[15] His son Joshua Knapp was named executor and the will was witnessed by John Weed and Eleazer Slason. The inventory was taken 27 April 1669/70 by John Holly and Clement Buxton, and filed 31 October 1670. [16]
Children of Nicholas and Eleanor (___) Knapp, first seven born and recorded at Watertown[17] and last two born probably at Stamford:
i. JONATHAN2 KNAPP, b. Nov 1631, bur. Watertown 27 Dec 1631 "aged 7 weeks."
ii. TIMOTHY KNAPP, b. 14 Dec 1632, m. BETHIA ___, said to have been the daughter of John Brundish or Brundage.[19] He moved to the town of Rye, (then in Connecticut but now in New York) about 1667 when he purchased a house and homelot there. He was active in community affairs and was constable of Rye in 1681 and 1682. He apparently moved to Greenwich by 1697.[20]
iii. JOSHUA KNAPP, b. 5 Jan 1634/35, m. at Stamford 9 Jun 1657 HANNAH CLOSE.[21]
iv. CALEB KNAPP, b. 20 Jan 1636/37, m. HANNAH SMITH.
v. SARAH KNAPP, b. 5 Jan 1638/39, m. at Stamford 6 Apr 1657 PETER DISBOROUGH / DISBROW.[22]
vi. RUTH KNAPP, b. 6 Jan 1640/41, m. (1) at Stamford 20 Nov 1657 JOSEPH FERRIS,[23] and (2) 19 Jan 1707/08 JOHN CLAPP.[24]
vii. HANNAH KNAPP, b. 6 Mar 1642/43,[25] living at the time of her father's will in 1670.[26]
viii. MOSES KNAPP, b. say 1645, perhaps at Stamford, m. by 1669 ABIGAIL WESTCOTT.
ix. LYDIA KNAPP, b. say 1647, probably at Stamford, m. at Fairfield 16 Jan 1666/67 ISAAC HALL. [27]

5. Stamford Town Records, 1: 20, transcription copy, 26, Connecticut Ancestry Society microfilm #1. Her name is spelled "Eliner" in the record, which was written two different times on the same page. She was called Eleanor "Disbrow" by Capt. James S. Ferris in his, "A Ferris Genealogy" (Coronado, CA: the author, 1980), vol. 2, ID No. 12. She has also been called Eleanor "Lockwood" by several authors but this is very unlikely (see Harriet Woodbury Hodge, "Some Descendants of Edmund Lockwood [1594-16351 of Cambridge, Massachusetts and his son Edmund Lockwood [ca. 1625-1693] of Stamford Connecticut" [New York: Philip V. Lockwood, 1978], 82.) Other surnames have also been proposed but all of these identities for her are considered speculative at this time.

Lists of spouses given in the Knapp Genealogy (note 7) and other secondary sources are similar, but have additional marriages for many of the children that have not yet been verified. This list follows Anderson who discounted many of these additional marriages for lack of proof. Also note his discussion and rejection of the claims that William Knopp of Watertown was a close relative of Nicholas Knapp.
19. Although Bethia's identity is given as fact by Norman Davis in his "Westchester Patriarchs" (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, Inc., 1988), 36-7, 140, it is not confirmed by Anderson, or by Donald L.

26. Early Settlement (note 10), 174, lists a marriage for her to Zerubbabbel Hoyt in 1673, but there is no such marriage in the generally reliable David W.

Somersworth, NH: New England History Press, 1984), 311-2.
27. Old Fairfield (note 19), 1: 250. It is sometimes claimed that she married Richard Mills but Jacobus explained that this Mills marriage instead belonged to Lydia the daughter of Roger Knapp of New Haven and Fairfield (Old Fairfield [note 19], 1: 365, 411.)"

9. Rye was originally part of Connecticut before state borders were finalized. Savage's Dictionary indicates he was living in Greenwich in 1697.
