Nicolaas de Graaf in 1700 described how the VOC was the places of refuge for many of the worst of all nations: "Moffen, Poepe, Knoete, Hannekemaijers en andere groene kassoepers, die't gras nog tussen die tanden"

Johan Oosthuijsz= van Werden 1685 source

Alternative spelling - Oosthuysen and Oosthuisen
FFY says : Jan was from Woerden and was perhaps born there circa 1670. His age is estimated based on his occupation as midshipman, adelborst, in 1685. Midshipmen were often employed in their early to mid-teens
Therefore not impossible his baptism could have been in 1672 son of Joannes Oosthuysen.
However on his will dated 1722 his age was 57 -- d.o.b. 1665.

The Dutch family name Oosthuizen is an origin-name, meaning that it indicates the place from which the original carrier originated.

Die van OOSTHUIZEN het heel waarskynlik sy oorsprong vanaf die dorp/stad/streek vanwaar die persoon - of sy/haar voorgeslagte - afkomstig is. So ook is die oorsprong van vanne soos ons dit vandag ken, of 'n verwysing vanwaar die persoon (of sy/haar voorgeslagte) vandaan kom, of watter beroep die persoon beoefen het. Bv. Venter wat straathandelaar (smous) beteken, of selfs Schumacher (wat verander het na Schoeman) wat beteken skoenmaker. 'n Verdere interresante feit is dat die verskillende spellinngs van 'n van daargestel is a.g.v. van die rede dat baie van die voorouers slegs semi-geletterd of selfs ongeletterd was, en die vanne dan op dokumente aangebring is soos die amptenaar dit hoor en dink hoe dit gespel moet word. Nog 'n feit is dat die voorvoegsel tot baie vanne soos "van" , "van der", asook "Janse(n)" ook 'n betekenis het. Bv. die voorvoegsel "van der" Merwe beteken - afkomstig vanaf Merwede, en Janse(n) van Rensburg - (let op die hoofletter "J" in Janse(n) - Piet/Anna Janse(n) van Rensburg - beteken weer Jan, afkomstig vanaf Rensburg, se se seun/dogter.

The first Oosthuizens were probably from the town Oosthuizen in North-Holland. Today the town is part of the region Oosthuizen-en-Hobrede and is southwest of Hoorn and northwest of Edam, in the region known as the Zeevang. Oosthuizen was mentioned in a letter in 1388 under the name "Litkoshuizer-Koogen" and on an old map with the name "Luttik-Oosthuizen". The majority of the townsfolk were involved in the cheese-industry. In the regions that today is covered by the Netherlands and Belgium, the use of family names started in the thirteenth century. It first started in the larger cities of Flandre and Brabant, like Gent, Brugge and Antwerpen. Until the sixteenth century, family names were common in Amsterdam, but in the time of Napoleon, not in the rural areas.
