New Netherland Settlers: The Van Alstyne Family: Ancestors and Descendants of Jan Martense & Dirckien Harmense Boertgens availabe at Amazon.com and Amazon.ca Jan Martense de Wever (the weaver) was the immigrant ancestor of the Van Alstyne family in America. He and his wife, Derckien Hermanse (also recorded as Harmanse) and at least two children came to New York area from Drenthe Province, Netherlands prior to 1655. Source: Random Notes Concerning Settlers Of Dutch Descent by William J. Hoffman, in New World Immigrants: A Consolidation Of Ship Passenger Lists And Associated Data From Periodical Literature edited by Michael Tepper (2 vols) Jan and Dirkje were from Meppel, Netherlands and they came to the New World with at least 2 children. The first time we see them in New York in 18 July 1655 when a son Marten was baptised at New Amsterdam. Jan died about 1698 and is buried at Kinderhook, NY beneath the Dutch Reformed Church.

Purple. V. 1 1639-1730. V. 2 1731-1800 5. Van Alstyne - Montgomery Co. NY July 1991 by W. Barker Shelton NOTES 1. Pearson gives Marten Janse two wives, with children being born as late as 1724 at which time Marten would be in his 70s. At his marriage to Cornelia in 1705, Marten is not listed as a widower, which would suggest he was marrying for the first time. Barker, in his compilation of this family, places Marten Janse (husband of Cornelia) as a son to Marten Janse and Jannetje. The baptismal sponsors at the christening of Marten and Cornelia's children support this placement, but his patronymic of Janse (son of Jan) does not. I checked the 9 baptisms for his children found in the Albany Church records and discovered that Marten does not have a patronymic recorded with any. This leaves his marriage record in question since the patronymic of Jansen assigned to him in this record may be faulty. Interested researchers should use this data with caution and attempt to verify with primary records Birth Records Baptisms at the Wynantskill Reformed Protestant Dutch Church New York Births and Baptisms at the Greenbush Reformed Protestant Dutch Church New York Cemeteries Van Alstyne Burying Ground Dutchess Co.
