      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.

      Dirck married Marretje TEUNIS DENYSE about 1660. Marretje (daughter of Teunise (Cornelius) NYSSEN (DENYS) and Femmetje (Phoebe) Seals) was born in 1644; died in 1690. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

      "Among the early settlers of this beautiful valley (Raritan, Sommerset County, NJ) was Jan Derick Woertman (Wortman) who, with his family, came from Brooklyn Heights, New York in the year 1699, his daughter Elizabeth being christened in
      Sommerville in September of that year. By the year of 1704 he removed to the village of Raritan where he remained for a number of years, moving from there with grown children to Pluckemin. Here he erected a long old-fashioned house made of
      logs that was to be known for many years as the Workman Homestead. Here a descendant, Jan Wortman, known as Squire Wortman (no doubt because of his vast estate of 500 acres) entertained the patriots, Guisbert Sutphen (see Catherine Wortman),
      Aaron Merick, and Colonel Stephen Huntwhen they met to plan their resietance to the British army a year before the Declaration of Independence was signed. It was here too that Jan Wortman, trained by his father in the family trade as a
      blacksmith, shod the horses of George Washington and his entourage during the Revolutionary War. Some nights John and his helpers worked all through the night repairing the carriages and shoeing the horses so they would be ready for the
      General the next morning.

      The Woertman tradition in America had been one of civic loyalty. Derick Jans had begun it in 1673 when he became an officer of his town in Brooklyn. Jan Derick continued it as Justice of the Peace in New Jersey: Squire Jan Wortman, his
      nephews and sons plannes and worked for the revolutionary forces and from Somerset County Peter and Andrew Wortman joined the Militia.

      Jan married Anna Marie Andries (Andriessin) on 17 Jan 1690 in Brooklyn, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
