From the written source "The Morgan Monument" Re: Catherine Morgan's grandmother

In 1662, Lysbet Hendrickson, the grandmother of Morgan’s wife, Catherine, arrived in New Amsterdam aboard the ship d’Vos. Catherine’s father, Hendrik, is also often speculated to have been aboard this ship, though others say he had immigrated with his believed older brother, Jan, on the Prins Maurits. Nevertheless, upon examination of the d’Vos records, we find that one Jan Joosten, “from the Thrillerwaerd,” immigrated to America with his wife, Macyken Hendrickson, and several children. This is doubtlessly the same Jan Joosten who’s wife and children were taken captive by Indians in June of 1663, though later rescued and returned in the following September. One of these children, Joost Jansen Van Meteren, was none other than the father of the famous trader, John Van Meter, the “Dutchman of the Hudson.” Thus, it seems possible that there was an even closer acquaintance between Morgan and Van Meter, through the Garretsons, than the Col. Morgan Morgan Monument Commission had realized.
