Genealogical and Biographical Record

Among thl' classic examples of the "three brothers" legr'nds is the

purporw! origin of the General jeremiah Johnson family of 'Brook])'ndescribed in jnome B. Holgate's. American Genealogy .... (1848) ande!sewheJ'['. The family claimed to be descended in the male line from

"Antonie jansen Van Salers" who supposedly settled in New Amsterdam with

his IH<1thns. joris janseil de Rapalje and William Jansen de Rapalje. Of

cour<;e. Anthony jansen Van Salce and Joris janszen Rapalje (to use betterforms of their names) were not brothers. and the latter did not have a brother

William who scttled in New Netherland. Moreover, Anthony Jansen Van

Salce had Ill) sons (REC. IO:j:~7) and the false ancestry of the "three brothers,"gi\TII by Ilolgal(' has het'n discreditr't! (T:\C 3S: 19:1 I f),J).

I low('\l'I". as with mOSl family legends, there were clements of truth ill the

claim. This johnson family was descr"ndec! from a daughter of Anthony

jansen Van Salee alld many of them were somehow descended from Joris

It has been ayerred that the family was actually descended from Barent

Driessen of Ooslenegh near Sutphen in Gc1derland and his wife Altje, who

probahly immigrated in ] 650 on The New Netherlands Fortune. They settled

on Slaten Island where they were kiIJecl by Indians in September 1655. Their

ancestors of Jannetje Jorisz (who will be identified below as a daughter of

Joris2 Remsen), we may assume the two names came from JanJanzen's family.A review of the New York Dutch Church baptisms 1675-1700 for a child Jan

with the namesjan, johannes and Barent in his parentage revealed only onecandidate: Jan, baptized 25 May 1687, son of Johannes Janszen and AlbertjeBarents.

Before further analysis, the background of this candidate should be given.

His parents were married on 1 October 1684 at the Albany Dutch Church(HSYB 1904:21), his mother probably being the daughter of BarentMyndensz of Albany (TAG 33:1-7). His father, baptized 18 January 1660 atthe New York Dutch Church (BDC 55), was the only child of Jan Q.uisthoutVan Der Linden,3 a soldier from Brussels, who betrothed on 22 February1659 at the New York Dutch Church (MDC 23) Jannetje Barents, daughterof Barent Baltus, the founder of the Van Kleeck family. Jannetje Barents was

a widow by 11January 1661 (HSYB 1902: 17), but the unusual circumstancesof her husband's death appear in neither The A merican Genealogist 33: 1-7

nor in Gl\lNJ 29:2-4. On 21 May 1660 he was indicted on charges of sodomywith his apprentice (CDM 211, 213). On 17 June he entered a guilty plea andwas sentenced the same day "to be taken to the place of execution and there

stripped of his arms, his sword to be broken at his feet, and he was to be thentied in a sack and cast into the river and drowned until dead." [If thissentence was indeed carried out, it is in contradiction to Stokes' statement

(Icon. 6:543) that no capital punishment appears to have been actuallyinflicted in New Amsterdam-ED.].

Jan Quisthout Van Der Linden was apparently heavily in debt at the timeof his death (RNA 3: 139, 145, 146, 153, 156, 159), and on 16 August 1663 his

widow petitioned to be d'ischarged-fromherlaf(nfUsband's'debts-(€DM~251}She married second, after 20 October 1663 at the New York Dutch Church

(l\mC 29), Jan Pieterszen from Goesdorp by whom she had several childrenwho used the name Bosch (Alvin S, Van Benthuysen and Edwin Raben Van

Kleeck The Van Kleeck Genealogy [1957] pp. 6, 10, 12),

Jan. baptized 25 J\.lay 1687, grandson of Jan Quisthout Van Der Lindenand Jannetje Barents, was very probably the 1714 groom for the followingreasons:

(1) Jan Janzen and Jannetje Jorisz named their oldest son Johannes, whichstrongly suggests Jan Janzen's father was named Johannes, This is also anindication that Jan Janzen was not the son of Jan Barentse and JannetjeWillems Van Barkelo, for if he had been, his oldest son probably would

ha ve been named Jan. The fact that in 1714 J an Janzen used his father's

patronymic rather than his own is reasonable for the period (see the

66 johnson/jansen Family [April~'

Miss Bailey lists four children of Jan Barentse and Jan1;~tje Willems VanBarkelo:

1. Barent, bap. Flatbush DC 13 Dec. 1681 (Fro,!. Baptisms 1:29), wit.: Wm. V.

Barkelo, Eva V. Siggelen (maternal grandfather and probably great·aunt).

ii. Cornelia, bap. Flatbush DC 29 June 1684 (Frost, Baptisms 1:43), wit.: CorneliaWillems (maternal aunt).

iii. Margrietje.iv. William.

Bergen adds a fifth child, Jan, with the caution sup. for supposedly, andprovides him with two wives: Mary tie by whom he supposedly had Johannes,Barent and Joris, and jannetje joris by whom he supposedly had Maria,Catherine and Elizabeth. Bergen was evidently referring to the marriage ofJan Janzen and Jannetje Jorisz by the Rev. Vincentius Antonides after theirbanns on 10 February 1714 at the Flatbush Dutch-Church (Frost, Marriages1:51), However, this Jan Janzen had only one wife and only three children(sons Johannes, Joris and Barent) if we identify him with John Jansen ofBrookland in Kings County, cordwainer, whose unrecorded will dated 22August 1729 (WNYHS 11:136)2 mentions wife Jannetje and three sonsJohannis (eldest), Joris and Barent Jansen. While daughters were not alwaysmentioned in wills, there is no evidence there were any. Bergen gives the threesupposed daughters of Jan Janzen baptismal dates in 1737, 1739 and 1747which seem late for a man who described himself as "very sick and weak inbody" in 1729, Also, it is probable the oldest son was the Johannes Johnson inthe 1738 census of Brooklyn as head of a household consisting only of threewhite males over the age of 10 and two slaves (DHNY 4:197), Moreover, boththe 1773 will of J~Janzen's son Barent Johnson (WNYHS 9:22) and the

Jansen Family Bible (at The LIHS) of a descendant, Benjamin GarrisonJansen (#11), mention all three brothers but say nothing about sisters.

Unfortunately, there is scant evidence for identifying Jan Janzen, the 1714groom, as a son ofJan Barentse andJannetje Willems Van Barkelo. As shownby Holgate (p. 25), certain descendants of Jan Janzen's son Barent Johnsonthought they were related in the male line to General Jeremiah Johnson (andthus descended from "Antoine Jansen van Salers"). However, aside fromBergen's cautious identification, the only evidence is that Jan Barentse andJannetje Willems Van Barkelo had at least six children if she was "TheWiddow Barentse" in the 1698 census of Gravesend (DHNY 3:136).

Instead, the marriage record of Jan Janzen in 1714 points to differentparentage. He is described as "young man born in New York and residing atBrooklyn" while Jan Barentse and his wife are not known to have leftGravesend. Furthermore, the names ofJanJanzen's sons suggest the names ofhis parents, Since the names Johannes and Barent do not occur among the

discussion below of the children of Joris2 Remsen and the comments on"frozen patronymics" in REC. 106: 1).

(2) The Van Kleeck Genealogy p. 15 and The American Genealogist 33:3show no marriages or descendants for the children of Johannes Janszenand Albertje Barents who were:

i. Barent. bap. New York DC 3 May 1685 (BDC 167) .

ii. Jan, bap. New York DC 25 May 1687 (BDC 179).

iii. Jannetje, bap. New York DC 23 Sep. 1689 (BDC 193).

iv. Jannetje, bap. Brooklyn DC 13 Mar. 1692 (HSYB 1897:163).

v. Sara, bap. New York DC 3 Apr. 1695 (BDC 225).

Thus this family had a definite connection with Brooklyn,

(3) Bergen at page 162 tentatively identifies this Johannes Janszen as theJoannes Janse on the 1693 assessment roll of Brooklyn and in the 1698census of Brooklyn with three women and three children in his household(DHNY 3:133).

(4) ThisJohannesJanszen was living in New York in 1686 when his wife was a

member of the Dutch Church (HSYB 1916:31), and they probably werethere in 1687, the year of Jan's baptism, since no Johannes Janszen tookthe oath of allegiance in Kings Co. in 1687 (Kenneth Scott and Kenn

Stryker-Rodda Denizations, Naturalizations and Oaths of Allegiance inColonial New York [1975J pp. 90-93).

(5) There appears to be no evidence contradicting this identification. Onlyone Johannes Janszen appears in the 1703 census of New York (DHNY1:616) with one man, one woman, two male children and two female

children in the household, This man probably was the Johannes Jansen------who_was_May_or of New York in 1725 (MCC 3:374; BDC 215,229,247,

265, 283; REC, 84:7; 88:245). No Johannes Janszen, JanJanzen or Wlelow ,.

Janszen appears on the 1706 assessment roll of Kings Co, (Kings Co.Deeds Libel' 3 pp. 91- 95), but this roll was not as complete as a census.

There was however a Johannis Janse who paid for a shroud on 28 August1710 at the Flatbush Dutch Church (Frost, Marriage Fees p. 37).

As for JannetjeJorisz, the 1714 bride, we can identify her with certainty as adaughter of Joris2 Remsen and Femmetje Woertman:

(1) Joris Remsen had at least seven children according to the 1698 census of

Flatbush (DHNY 3: 137), yet Bergen (p. 238) and Phoenix Remsen FamilyRecord of the Remsen Ancestors .... (1878) pp, 7, 12-13 show only fourchildren living then.

(2) It would have been unusual if Joris Remsen had not named a daughterJannetje for his mother, Jannetje Rapalje.

(3) The only other occurrence of Jorisz and variants as a surname in the

Flatbush Dutch Church records of this period was in 1707 when two

known children ofJoris Remsen were married (Frost, Marriages 1:42-43).(4) The marriage record of Jannetje Jorisz describes her as "born in New Lots

111 Midwoud, living,,j:( Brooklyn." This description is the same as thatgiven for Joris Remsen's daughters Sara and Femmetje who (using Remzeas a surname) were married at the Flatbush Dutch Church in 1715 and

1719 respectively (Frost, Marriages 1:54, 60),(5) The 1773 will of Barent Johnson, son of Jannetje Jorisz, mentions his

loving cousin Rem Rapelye of New York. Joris Remsen had such agrandson (KCo 235), and there is no indication either of Barent Johnson'swives was related to the Rapaljes,

(6) Two sons-in-law of Joris Remsen were executors of the 1729 will of JanJanzen. Moreover, a Jan Jansen had witnessed the 1722 will of RemRemsen, son of Joris Remsen (WNYHS 2:294), and a Johannes Jansen(possibly the oldest son of Jan Janzen and Jannetje Jorisz) witnessed the1734 will of Joris Remsen, son of the preceding Rem Remsen (WNVHS3:412; KCo 124, 240). Finally, a good genealogy (Waldron PhoenixBelknap, Jr. The De Peyster Genealogy [1956J p. 70) calls her JannetjeRemsen.

Children of Jan Janzen and Jannetje Jorisz:

i. Johannes, b. 18Jan. 1715.:! ii. Joris, b. 14 OCI. 1717.

3 iii. Barent, b. 27 July Ii:! I.1. JOHANNES·JOHNSON(fan3 janzen, johannes2janszen, jant Quisthout Van

He_l'!larried his first cousin, Femmetje Debevoise, daughter of Joost Debe­voise and Mary tie Remsen (KCo 85--=-86;WNYHS-8:'lOO;-1-7:322}-He-probably_died before 19 February 1784, the date of his son's wilJ.

As George Johnson, bolter, he was admitted as a freeman of New York on 3June 1746 (CNYHS 1885: 155). He was elected an assessor of the North Wardin 1752 and 1753 (MCC 5:379, 417) and an assistant of that ward in1756-1760 (MCC 6:65, 100, 147, 183, 222), as well as serving on variouscommittees.
