4. | Aert Teunise Lanen Van Pelt (son of Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt and Grietje Jans). Notes:
He took an Oath of Allegiance in 1687
The Van Pelt Manor House was built in the town of New Utrecht around the 1670s, in the Original King's Highway Section, Brooklyn, New York. The house was used by American soldiers, including George Washington, during the Revolutionary War. The house was sold to the city and made a historic landmark in the first half of the twentieth century. It was torn down following a fire in 1952.

8. | Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt was born in in Holland, origin Luyck (Liege) Belgium. Notes:
Arrived on the "Rose Tree", and settled in New Utrecht, Long Island.

Van Pelt: The Lane family (original name Laenen) were known under the names of Laenen, van der Laen, de la Lanen, etc. The imigrants put the "van Peelt" (or van Pelt) after Laenen, as a rule, by which it is to be understood that, while their
real surname was "Laenen", they were also "from the Peel," expressed in Dutch by the words "van Peelt." The Peel is a tract of country in the nature of a morass, located both in the southern part of Holland and the Northern part of Belgium. In
Belgium "the Peel" is in the province of Limburg. Directly contiguousto that province is the province (we should say county) of Leige, whose capital is the large and prosperouscity of Liege. The suppposition is that Teunis Jansen Laenen van
Pelt and his brother were Walloons and not Hollanders, which seems to be well founded. Walloon is a semi-French language, as the Walloons were a semi- French and semi-Teutonic stock. The Walloons have always remained a separate and distinct
people in what is now the northern and eastern portion of modern Belgium and constitute about one-fourth of the population of that country.

10. | Jan Otto Van Tuyl was born about 1640 in Utrecht, Holland (son of Otto Van Tuyl and Neeltje); died in 1689/1690 in probably at sea. Notes:
Arrived in Bedford Long Island, in "De Bonte Koe" (The Spotted Cow) Apr. 16, 1663
Marcella Thomas's genealogy states that he married second, Teunis Janse Lanen Van Pelt in 1696, but that would have been after his death, so one of the dates is wrong.
Jan married Gertruyt Jans van Lent (or van Pelt) about 1660 in Holland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

12. | Adriaen HAGEMAN (HEGERMAN) died in 1672 in Flatbush, Long Island. Notes:
Came to America about 1650 with a family of eight children.
Adriaen and Catherina came to America from Holland and settled in Amsterdam about 1672. He established a residence in Flatbush, L.I. where he died in 1672. Records reveal that he was a magistrate at Midout (Flatbush) 1654 to 1660and
1663. He was schout-fiscal in 1661 covering the "Five Dutch Towns" on Long Island. In this same year he obtained a patent for 100 acres of land in Midout upon which he settled. February 164, he procured the making of dispositions in
relation o the misconduct of an English troop at Midout and headed a deligation to a convention at Flatbushwhich was called for the purpose of selecting delegates to lay before the states-general the distressed condition of the country.
In1665, he and Thos. Swartout petitioned the director-general to have the limits of Midout defined, and with Commissary Stryker they were authorized to make demarkation rquested.

14. | Frans Janse BLOODGOOD Notes:
I am unsure of the source paper about the Bloodgood family titled "Earliest Records of Ancestors in Europe (Scandinavia, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands ) Origin of name and Migraton of Family."
If anyone knows the author of this paper, please let me know (RebeccaLws@aol.com).
The early annals of New Amsterdam (New York) the surname of Bloodgood ancestors followed the Dutch form of Bloetgoet and Goetbloet with several variations appearing in church, census, town city and County clerk's records; - Bloedtgoedt,
Bloedtgoet, Bloedgoedt, Bloedtgoet, Goedtbloedt, Goedbloet, Bloetgaat, Bloedgaedt, Bludgood and Bloodgodd. The name was anglicized soon after the English took possession of New Netherlands, now New York State.
1676, Captain Frans Janse Bloetgoet died leaving a will dated 12-29-1676, Flushing, Long Island, " In the name of God, amen, I Francis Blootgood being sorely wounded and weak, I make my wife Elizabeth executive and she is to dispose of my
estate to my children according to their duties and deserts". This will was transmitted to the Office of Records on 1-13-1677. It was the very first will to be filed int the Surrogates Office in New York where for years it could be seen and
copied. Wills were later transfered to Jamacia for storage. They have since been destroyed in an unfortunate fire. (Abstracts of WIlls, N.Y. State Hist. Soc. Coll's, Vol.1, page 40). Frans died of wounds suffered in a skirmish with the
Indians near a spot where the south approach enters Whirestone Bbidge today. This is not too far from the home he built in Flushing, Long Island. Because of the time period at least one record states that Frans may have been wounded in a
skirmish with the English from Connecticut. This is without substance because I find no record in hisory where the Connecticut English advanced into this territory but I do find that there were scattered skirmishes on Long Island with Indians.
1675, an inventory of Frans Bloetgoet's estate included Landes 3 meadows, 10 horses and mares, 1 oxen and boles 2, cows 4, to yer ols 2, swine 5, shepe 40. Censes takers were almost illiterates. (Documentary History of New York Colonial
Series, Vol. 11, p.460)
11-10-1674, he was made privy counselor to Governor Colve as to surrender of the colony (New Amsterdam) back to the English (Brodhead's Hisory of N.Y., Vol 11, pages 18, 243) ('Callaghan's Historical Mss relating to Colonial Hist. of N.Y.
Vol. 11, 590,701)
3-21-1674, Frans Bloetgoet was appointed Schout Fiscal (Sheriff) and Chief Military Officer of the Dutch people for the villages of Flushing, Hemstead, Rustdorp (Jamaica), Middledorf (Newton), and Oyster Bay by Governor Colve. His duties
were to guard the interests of that precinct, to "instruct them to always be ready upon receipt of notice of arrival of an English ship to repair with arms to New Orange (Albany)". He was commissioned to visit Sweedish settlements on the
Delaware and went to New Caslte.
8-3-1673, Frans Bloetgoet, John Hingman and Richard Wilde were appointed Schepens (Magistrates) by Governor Cornelis Everts Jr., and the Commanders of the Council of War.
1673,the Ango-Dutch war broke out where upon New York was re-captured by the Dutch. After a nine year period 1664-1673 the House of Orange flag once again waved over Manhattan. (Oxford History of the American People by Morrison)
During the interregnum between English and Dutch rule, Frans Bloetgoet farmed, carpentered, built his own home in Flushing, Long Island, and served the English government, perhaps reluctantly.
1660, Charles II was restored to the English throne. He detested the Dutch and was determined to remove them from power in New Netherlands. March, 1664e conferred a territorial gift which included New Netherlands, Long Island and the entire
region between Connecticuit and Delaware rivers to his brother, "Duke of York" . THe duke appointed Richard Nicolls his deputy governorand the king gave him four frigates o sail into the harbor of New Amsterdam to call upon Peter Stuyesant
and ask for his surrender. Lack of defenses and support of his peole made Peter relenquish New Amsterdam and by the end of 1664 the English renamed this city New York New Netherlands became New York State; New Orange, Albany and Fort Casimir
on the Delaware, New Castle.
Frans married Lysbet (Lysbeth, Elizabeth) JANS. Lysbet was born in in Gouda. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
