      Dirck Jans Woertman, son of John WIlliam Workman, born about 1630 Amsterdam, Holland; imigrated to America in 1647 (the date fixed in 1687 when he took the oath of allegiance at Brooklyn and stated that he had been in the country 40
      years). Although known during this period simply as Dirck (Derick) Jans, in 1680 he resumed the surname of Woertman and was known by it from rhen on. Just where he lived from 1647 to 1661 is not certain, but on 10 April 1661 he and his wife
      MARRIETJE TEUNIS DENYSE ... were admitted to the Brooklyn Dutch Church. Just when the couple was married is not known, but it was probably in 1660. At this time and subsequently Dirck(Derick) owned property in Brooklyn and operated the
      Brooklyn Ferry. The sale of this property took place in 1687. Dirck was made a town officer in 1673 in Brooklyn.

      John WIlliam Workman (the Dutch form of his name being Jans William Woertman) died in Amsterdam, Holland, some time before the year 1647. Little is known of him except that he was married and had a family. It is believed that he was an
      emigrant from England, comming to Holland as a result of religious persecution during the time of the Puritan upheavals. In Holland, John seemingly integrated into the social and religious way of life of the people there and his family adopted
      their customs so completely so that during the time of their emigrations, they were known mainly as sons, daughters, of wife of John. In church records the patronymic pattern was followed almost completely so that John's son, Richard, is
      recorded as Dirck Jansen very frequently. As early as the year 1628, Jans WIlliam Woertman had married Harmtje (Hannah, an unusual name among the Dutch) and they were the parents of at least three children born in Amsterdam, Holland.

      Jans married Harmtje (Hannah) in 1628. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


    2. 5.  Harmtje (Hannah)

      Notes:

      Annetje, most commmonly known as Annetje Lodowycke may have been a half-sister to Dirck and Elizabeth, inasmuch as Lodowycke de Jong appeared as a sponsor to the Baptism of Annetje's first child. Proponenets of this theory point out that the
      motherof the family, Harmtje, widow of Jans, probably married Lodowycke in Holland and he probably sponsored the family, Elizabeth and Dirck, children of the first marriage, and Annetje, his own daughter, in the move to America. It is fairly
      certain that the mother came to America, but in all land transactions she is known merely as Harmtje Jans with Lodowycke never appearing in the picture. She lived to a ripe old age and owned considerable property in Long Island and Brooklyn
      and died after 1685. This would make Annetje, born probably in 1636, half sister to the other children. At her marriage in 1655, she names herself as "Annetje Lodeerycks van Amsterdam" (Annetje Loderycks of Amsterdam). It is also
      conceivable, and there is indication in the records, that she was a little older than assumed and she came to America as the widow or wife of Lodowycke de Jong. This would then make the Lodowycke de Jong, sponsor of her first child, a nephew
      or other relative; or this could have been an attempt to name the father of the child of a previous marriage.

      Children:
      1. Elizabeth JANS (WOERTMAN) was born about 1630; died about 1 Apr 1695.
      2. 2. Dirck (Derick, Richard) Jans (John) Woertman was born about 1630 in Amsterdam, Holland.

    3. 6.  Teunise (Cornelius) NYSSEN (DENYS) was born about 1615 in Binnick, Utrecht, Netherlands; died in Aug 1663 in Manhattan Island, (Brooklyn?), Kings, NY.

      Teunise married Femmetje (Phoebe) Seals on 11 Feb 1639/1640 in New Amsterdam, NY. Femmetje (daughter of John (Old Jan Celes) SEALS and Maria (Marritje) ROBERTS (ROBBERTSON)) was born about 1618 in Charleston, Devonshire, England; died on 13 Dec 1666 in Flatbush, NY.

    4. 7.  Femmetje (Phoebe) Seals was born about 1618 in Charleston, Devonshire, England (daughter of John (Old Jan Celes) SEALS and Maria (Marritje) ROBERTS (ROBBERTSON)); died on 13 Dec 1666 in Flatbush, NY.
