Jacob Jansen van Etten

" Jacob Jansen was baptized 22 October 1634 in Etten, North Brabant, Netherlands [1], the son of Johannes Marinuszen and Wilhelmina Joannesdr. He was engaged to work 15 May 1652 by Adriaen van der Donck and emigrated to New Netherland. Jacob was probably also called "long Jacob" and "Jacob Jansen de lange" [2]. Jacob's wife was Annetje Adrians. She was from Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands and was possibly the daughter of Adriaen Gelijns and Grietje Jans. [3]

Before she had married Jacob, Annetje had married Aert Pietersen Tack. However, Aert deserted Annetje, their son, and their unborn child between December 1662 and May 1663 [4]. The family had been heavily in debt and Aert had mortgaged his crops only months before he disappeared. Annetje and her children were left to sell their possessions at auction to pay off the debts. They were further impacted by the Second Esopus War, when Annetje was forced to leave most of the crops in the field. By February of 1664, Annetje reported that she "lacks bread, pork, meat, etc. in her household". After Aert had married another woman back in the Netherlands, Annetje petitioned for and obtained a divorce from Aert on 21 Aug 1664. [5]

Jacob had known the Tack family well before the desertion and divorce - Jacob and Aert were both from Etten [6], they had both been hired by Adriaen van der Donck, and Jacob had been hired by Aert as his farm hand. Jacob married Annetje 11 January 1665 in Kingston, Ulster, New York." ~• from: http://www.boydhouse.com/michelle/vanetten/jacobjansenvanetten/jaco...

ONE of the famous regions of Europe was known by the name of Brabant as far back as the days of Julius Casar. During the Middle Ages it was under the dominion of the Duke of Brabant. After the rise of the Dutch Republic it became part of the kingdom of the Netherlands and so remained until 1830 when South Brabant was separated from North Brabant and given to Belgium. Brabant is now divided into three provinces; North Brabant belonging to the Netherlands; Antwerp belonging to Belgium and South Brabant to the same kingdom. The inhabitants of North Brabant speak the Dutch language; those of Antwerp the Flemish and those of South Brabant the Walloon French. From the earliest settlement of the Esopus this name of Brabant was given to the lowlands along the Esopus creek on its west side opposite to and north of Kingston. The name has almost disappeared from local usage; its last survival being in the corporate name of the road of Belgian bridge stone tracks which was called " The Brabant Plank Road." After the death of Johan de Hulter his widow in 1657 was granted the tract of one thousand acres of land which her husband had purchased in 1654 of the Indians. This land lay on both sides of the Esopus creek and largely on the west, or Brabant side of the stream. Among the earliest settlers was a man who was known as " Jan the Brabanter." He was an early owner of one of the lots in the stockaded village. He appears as a corporal at the time of what is known as " The Esopus Mutiny." He subscribed fifteen florins to the salary of Domine Blom in I661 and about this time was in law with Aert Pietersen Tach. At the Indian massacre when the villages of Wildwyck and Nieuw Dorp (Hurley) were destroyed June 7th, 1663, Tach's house was burned and Tach disappeared. It is thought that he was killed by the savages. At least he was never heard of afterwards. His creditors called for an administration of his estate and among those who presented claims was Jacob Jansen, of Etten (van Etten). Etten is a village in North Brabant, six miles from Breda, where, in 1667, the famous ' Treaty of Breda" was signed by which England acquired title to this province and New Netherland became New York. It cannot now be determined if Jan the Brabanter and "Jacob Jansen, of Etten," were the same individual, but they seem to have been. In the court records Jacob Jansen is called "the head farmer" of Tach. The claim was presented on October 2Ist, 1664, and allowed. It was for " 338 guilders heavy money in wheat." But before the final settlement of the estate Jacob Jansen had been prosecuting another claim and married the widow. The record says " Jacob Jansen, young man of Etten in Brabant, to Annetje Arians of Amsterdam (van Amsterdam)." A little later his name appears on a petition that a minister be sent to Kingston and is there signed "Jacob Johnson van Eten." He was here as early, in all probability, as 1658. From this union of Jacob Jansen and the widow of Aert Pietersen Tach has sprung the widely distributed Van Etten family. Jacob Jansen Van Etten was one of those who signed the petition for the control of local affairs on January 26th, 1684, mentioned in OLDE ULSTER, Vol. II., pages 257-62, which so angered Governor Thomas Dongan that all the signers were arrested and fined.

Jacob Jansen VanEtten

By Robert B. Van Atta

Jacob Jansen was born in 1632 and baptized October 22, 1634 at Etten, North Brabant province Holland. The son of Joannes Marinesen and Wilhelimina Hoannes Adriense, he became the progenitor of the VanEtten/ VanAtta family in America, coming to this country in 1658 or earlier.

When jacob came to America, he settled at what was known at the time as Esopus, on the west bank of the Hudson River in New Netherlands (later became New York). He worked as a farm hand for Aert pietersen (or Peterson) Tack, and was referred to in one old record as “head farmer of Tack.”

Esopus was named after the Indian tribe in the area, and was first settled in 1652 by the Dutch. Relations with the Indians were not good, and the New Netherlands director-general, Petrus (Peter) Stuyvesant, urged an agreement which the settlers signed, May 31, 1658, to erect a palisaded village and demolish their separate dwellings.

A brief war with the Indians, known as the First Esopus War, began after soldiers and settlers senselessly shot three Indians in September 1659. An uneasy peace treaty was signed in July 1660. Despite the tense situation, the community kept growing and was named Wildwyck by Stuyvesant in 1661. Then, in June 1663,Indians attacked the village, massacred a number of residents, took others as prisoners, and burned many homes. The records state that Aert Tack was never seen again after that raid.

A second peace treaty was concluded with the Indians in May 1664, and, later that year, an important step was taken by Jacob Jansen. But before that, English forces seized New Amsterdam September 8, 1664, and 17 days later Wildwyck came under the authority of the Duke of York. The state of New Netherlands and the city f New Amsterdam were both renamed New York. The name Wildwyck fell into disuse, and the town was again generally referred to as Esopus.

The Baptism and Marriage Registers of the old Dutch Church of Kingson, NY. Contain the following marriage record; “Jacob Jansen of Etten, in Brabant, and Annetje Arians of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aert Pietersen Tack, both residing here in Wiltwyck. First publication of Banns, 28 December 1664; second, 4 January; third 11 January 1665.” Records concur that they were married January 11, 1665. As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace and after the publishing of the banns was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten). Later, the ‘von” became Van.”

His wife was Annetje Gelvins, daughter of Adrian or Ari Gelvins, interpretation of old Dutch records by experts reveals. Her name was written in several ways, including Annetje Adriantse Gelvins and Annetje Adrianse Kam. Genealogists say her father’s name, therefore, was Adrian and his last name Gelvins or Kam.

The nature of her first husband Aert Pietersen Tack’s difficulty emerges through a sequence of court cases beginning in 1662. There were several problems with employees over wages, and that November he mortgaged the grain crop to be harvested the following year. Tack apparently left before the fall of 1663, either as the result of the Indian raid or under cover of it. His wife harvested the grain and was enjoined by creditors from using the harvest (except that which the court ordered her paid for her work in harvesting).

In May 1664, further evidence of Tack’s indebtedness, in this case for cattle, appeared. In July, the court took steps to condemn Tack’s property for his absenting himself and to sell it to satisfy a list of creditors. In October of 1664, Jacob Jansen VanEtten, a farmhand of Tack, sued for wages due him. The following month, Jacob himself was sued to collect a debt of wheat which he admitted but explained that he couldn’t pay due to being sick with fever. He was granted time until the Tack estate was settled, when he presumably could collect wages due him.

In January 1665, Annetje Ariaens requested relief from her debts because her effects had been sold “on behalf of creditors of her absconded husband.” That same month, Jacob again requested the court that he be paid his wages from the estate in the amount of “388 guilders heavy money in wheat.” He was told he could be paid after prior preference creditors were satisfied.

Jacob was still having some financial problems in March 1666, when he was sued for not having paid his house rent of one schepel (about 3/4ths of a bushel) of wheat per month for 13 months. As late as March 1668, when he was sued for wheat due on the purchase of a house and lot, he could not pay because his wife’s estate had been sold to satisfy her former husband’s creditors.

After that, his financial situation apparently improved. In 1670, there is mention of Jacob Jansen VanEtten as a resident of Horley (Hurley), near Kingston. In September 1669, along with some changes and new villages nearby, Esopus became Kingston, the name that has remained since except for a brief time in 1673-74 when the Dutch briefly regained control and the town was temporarily named Swaenenburgh. But things quieted down after that and ended a turbulent period of 23 years from the founding that had seen two Indian wars and three changes in national allegiance.

Old records have also disclosed that Jacob was a petitioner for a minister for the church at Esopus in 1676. Jacob Jansen VanEtten took an oath of allegiance, presumably to England, by order of the governor, in Ulster County, NY, in 1689. He died in 1690.

The baptism and marriage registers of the old Dutch church of Kingston, N. Y. contain the following marriage record: “Jacob Jansen of Etten, in Brabant, and Annetje Arians of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aert Pietersen Tack, both residing here in Wiltwyck. First publication of Banns, 28 December 1664; second, 4 January 1665; third, 11 January 1665.” Records concur that they were married January 11, 1665, the ceremony being performed by Domine Hermannus Blom of Wiltwyck.

As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace and after the publishing of the banns was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten). Later the �von� became �Van�. Notes from Eva Alice Scott: In the record of Annetjhe Arian�s baptism of her children by Jacob Van Etten, the name is variously spelled Arianns, Adriaens, Adriaander, Ariaans, Adriaense Kam and Gebrius, Gelvins. She was the dau. of Adrian. When Jacob died the record states that he left a widow, five sons and four daughters; ant her record states that there were ten children. Jacob was a petitioner for a minister to the church at Esopus, N.Y. in 1676. He took oath of Allegiance to England in 1689. Lived in Marbletown, the records show. His youngest child was born at Hurley in 1688 where Jacob is suppose to have been buried. Schoonmaker, in his history of Kingston, 1888, p. 491, states that one of his grandchildren who was born in 1717 resided at Rhinebeck and became a large land holder. His son Aaron afterward exchanged his property at Rhinebeck for a tract in Ulster Co. situated in the neighborhood of Plattekill, then in the precinct of Kingston, now within the bounds of Saugerites. From Peter (no doubt Jacob�s son) has descended that branch of the Van Etten family represented by residents of that name in Kingston. Note: The Reformed Dutch Church at Kingston is recorded the marriage of Jacob Jansen Youngman von Etten, in Brabant, to Anna Adriance, from Amsterdam in the year 1665. He resided in the town of Hurley until his death, about 1690, and left surviving him his widow, five sons, John, born 1665; Peter; Arien, born 1670; Manuel born 1681; Jacobus or James born 1685 -- and four daughters. In 1718 the property of Jacob Jansen Van Etten was divided among his children by conveyance from his wife to each of their children, and from about that time the sons, with their families began to seek new homes in then sparsely settled country along the Hudson, and a little later the Delaware Valley. Peter and James, with their families, crossed the Hudson and settled in Dutchess Co. about 1720. John the oldest son, married Jane Roosa, daughter of Arien Roosa, about 1692. He resided until his death in the towns of Hurley and Rochester, Ulster Co. NY., and had a large family of children, mostly girls. One of his sons, Jacob, born 1696, is the immediate ancestor of the numerous family that settled in the Delaware Valley. April 22, 1719, Jacob married Anna Westbrook, who was born in Kingston and they lived at Knightfield (the name being written �Nytsfield� in the Mahackkemack Church record), in the town of Rochester, Ulster Co., until 1730 when Jacob, with his family and some of the sisters who had married, following in the footsteps of many who migrated over the old Mine road to fertile valleys of the Neversink and Delaware, came to the Delaware Valley and settled at Namanoch, along the river on the New Jersey side.

ETYMOLOGY OF THE SURNAME VAN ETTEN (Taken from Jacobus Jansen Van Etten by Eva Alice Scott, 1952) JACOB JANSEN VAN ETTEN, 1663 - Otherwise \Knbown as Jacob Jansen De Lange. Contributed by Dr. Irwin Hoch De Long, 525 West James Street, Lancaster, PA. and published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. LIII, n. 1, pp. 70, January, 1922. "Jacob Jansen De Lang (so the name appears in Dingman Versteeg's transcription; in Oppenheim's, it appears as de lange) is mentioned in the old Dutch court records of Kingston, New York, which date from the year 1658 and after, which records are now in the office of the County Clerk of Ulster County, New York, as follows: 1. In an Ordinary Session of the court, held Tuesday, Sept. 18, 1663, he is sued for fine, but defaults. (The Dutch records of Kingston, by Samuel Oppenheim, in Proceedings of the New York State Historical Association, 1912, Vol. XI, page 72.) The name is here produced in this form: "Jacob Janse de lange." 2. In an Ordinary Session of the court, held Tuesday, Oct. 9, 1663, his case came up again, but he again defaults. The court allows him a third default. The name is he re reproduced and printed as follows: Jacob Jansen de lange (the long.)" The patronymic appears here in the fuller form and "de lange" is explained by the translator, whether correctly or incorrectly, as "the long," evidently regarding it as a nickname of the bearer and not as his inherited family surname. (Ibid., page 78.) 3. In an Extraordinary Session of the Court, held Tuesday, October 16, 1663, he is asked to testify in the case of a certain prisioner and he does so. The name is printed in this form: "Jacob Janse de lange (the long)." The patronymic is here in the shorter form, otherwise the name appears as under number 2 above. (Ibid., page 87.) 4. In an Ordinary Session of the Court, held Tuesday, October 23, 1663, his own case comes up again. He defaults again. He defaults again, the third time. The Court orders him to pay the fine and also to pay the costs. The name is here printed thus: "Jacob Jansen de lange (the long)," precisely as in number 2 above. (Ibid., page 92.) 5. In a Meeting of the Council of War and Commissaries, held Tuesday, October 30, 1663, there is demanded from him "a fine of seventy-five gldrs., pursuant to the judgement rendered by the Court on October 9 (see above under number 2), for violating the ordinance dated August 4, in that he harvested without permission and a convoy. Defendant admits that he harvested without permission and a convoy, and says he does not intend to pay for doing so." "The Council of War and Commissaries condemns defendant to pay the above fine to plaintiff (Roelof Swartwout, Schout), pursuant to the judgement rendered October 9; and, as he shows himself obstinate and unwilling, that he be placed in confinement until he shall have paid the full fine." The name is here printed thus: "Jacob Jansen de lange," that is without the translator's explanation in brackets after "de lange." (Ibid., page 98.) 6. On January 21, (1664), the following note was handed to the minister, Hermanus Blom: "Rev. Mr: Hermanus Blom. Whereas, on the evenin

The English ca ===
From Leslie J. Van Etten: The English captured New Netherland from the Dutch in September 1664 and changed the name to New York. The old Dutch naming system was probably confusing to the English and about this time, the Dutch families were asked to choose a family surname. Since Jacob Jansen had been born in Etten, it was natural for he and Annetje to adopt the name von (from) Etten as a surname. The "von" was soon changed to the English form "Van". Thus began the Van Etten family of America.

A composite of the Van Ettens is that they were tall, broad shouldered, blue eyes, auburn hair (sometimes red and curly). Notes from Robert B. Van Atta: When Jacob came to America, he settled at what was known at at the time as Esopus, on the west bank of the Hudson River in New Netherlands (later became New York). He worked as a farm hand for Aert Pietersen (or Peterson) Tack, and was referred to in one old record as head farmer. The Baptism and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston NY, contain the following record: Jacob Jansen of Etten, in Brabant, and Annetje Arians of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aert Pietersen Tack, both residing here in Wiltwyck. First publication of Banns, 28 December 1664; second, 4 January; third, 11 January 1665. Records concur that they were married 11 January 1665. As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace and after the publishing of the banns was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten). Later the von became Van. Notes from Eva Alice Scott: In the record of Annetjhe Arians baptism of her children by Jacob Van Etten, the name is variously spelled Arianns, Adriaens, Adriaander, Ariaans, Adriaense Kam and Gebrius, Gelvins. She was the dau. of Adrian. When Jacob died the record states that he left a widow, five sons and four daughters; anther record states that there were ten children. Jacob was a petitioner for a minister to the church at Esopus, N.Y. in 1676. He took oath of Allegiance to England in 1689. Lived in Marbletown, the records show. His youngest child was born at Hurley in 1688 where Jacob is suppose to have been buried. Schoonmaker, in his history of Kingston, 1888, p. 491, states that one of his grandchildren who was born in 1717 resided at Rhinebeck and became a large land holder. His son Aaron afterward exchanged his property at Rhinebeck for a tract in Ulster Co. situated in the neighborhood of Plattekill, then in the precinct of Kingston, now within the bounds of Saugerites. From Peter (no doubt Jacobs son) has descended that branch of the Van Etten family represented by residents of that name in Kingston. Note: The Reformed Dutch Church at Kingston is recorded the marriage of Jacob Jansen Youngman von Etten, in Brabant, to Anna Adriance, from Amsterdam in the year 1665. He resided in the town of Hurley until his death, about 1690, and left surviving him his widow, five sons, John, born 1665; Peter; Arien, born 1670; Manuel born 1681; Jacobus or James born 1685 -- and four daughters. In 1718 the property of Jacob Jansen Van Etten was divided among his children by conveyance from his wife to each of their children, and from about that time the sons, with their families began to seek new homes in then sparsely settled country along the Hudson, and a little later the Delaware Valley. Peter and James, with their families, crossed the Hudson and settled in Dutchess Co. about 1720. John the oldest son, married Jane Roosa, daughter of Arien Roosa, about 1692. He resided until his death in the towns of Hurley and Rochester, Ulster Co. NY., and had a large family of children, mostly girls. One of his sons, Jacob, born 1696, is the immediate ancestor of the numerous family that settled in the Delaware Valley. April 22, 1719, Jacob married Anna Westbrook, who was born in Kingston and they lived at Knightfield (the name being written Nytsfield in the Mahackkemack Church record), in the town of Rochester, Ulster Co., until 1730 when Jacob, with his family and some of the sisters who had married, following in the footsteps of many who migrated over the old Mine road to fertile valleys of the Neversink and Delaware, came to the Delaware Valley and settled at Namanoch, along the river on the New Jersey side.

ETYMOLOGY OF THE SURNAME VAN ETTEN (Taken from Jacobus Jansen Van Etten by Eva Alice Scott, 1952) JACOB JANSEN VAN ETTEN, 1663 - Otherwise \Knbown as Jacob Jansen De Lange. Contributed by Dr. Irwin Hoch De Long, 525 West James Street, Lancaster, PA. and published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. LIII, n. 1, pp. 70, January, 1922. "Jacob Jansen De Lang (so the name appears in Dingman Versteeg's transcription; in Oppenheim's, it appears as de lange) is mentioned in the old Dutch court records of Kingston, New York, which date from the year 1658 and after, which records are now in the office of the County Clerk of Ulster County, New York, as follows: 1. In an Ordinary Session of the court, held Tuesday, Sept. 18, 1663, he is sued for fine, but defaults. (The Dutch records of Kingston, by Samuel Oppenheim, in Proceedings of the New York State Historical Association, 1912, Vol. XI, page 72.) The name is here produced in this form: "Jacob Janse de lange." 2. In an Ordinary Session of the court, held Tuesday, Oct. 9, 1663, his case came up again, but he again defaults. The court allows him a third default. The name is here reproduced and printed as follows: Jacob Jansen de lange (the long.)" The patronymic appears here in the fuller form and "de lange" is explained by the translator, whether correctly or incorrectly, as "the long," evidently regarding it as a nickname of the bearer and not as his inherited family surname. (Ibid., page 78.) 3. In an Extraordinary Session of the Court, held Tuesday, October 16, 1663, he is asked to testify in the case of a certain prisioner and he does so. The name is printed in this form: "Jacob Janse de lange (the long)." The patronymic is here in the shorter form, otherwise the name appears as under number 2 above. (Ibid., page 87.) 4. In an Ordinary Session of the Court, held Tuesday, October 23, 1663, his own case comes up again. He defaults again. He defaults again, the third time. The Court orders him to pay the fine and also to pay the costs. The name is here printed thus: "Jacob Jansen de lange (the long)," precisely as in number 2 above. (Ibid., page 92.) 5. In a Meeting of the Council of War and Commissaries, held Tuesday, October 30, 1663, there is demanded from him "a fine of seventy-five gldrs., pursuant to the judgement rendered by the Court on October 9 (see above under number 2), for violating the ordinance dated August 4, in that he harvested without permission and a convoy. Defendant admits that he harvested without permission and a convoy, and says he does not intend to pay for doing so." "The Council of War and Commissaries condemns defendant to pay the above fine to plaintiff (Roelof Swartwout, Schout), pursuant to the judgement rendered October 9; and, as he shows himself obstinate and unwilling, that he be placed in confinement until he shall have paid the full fine." The name is here printed thus: "Jacob Jansen de lange," that is without the translator's explanation in brackets after "de lange." (Ibid., page 98.) 6. On January 21, (1664), the following note was handed to the minister, Hermanus Blom: "Rev. Mr: Hermanus Blom. Whereas, on the evening of January 2, last,

Life Sketch

from www.boydhouse.com Jacob Jansen was baptized 22 October 1634 in Etten, North Brabant, Netherlands [1], the son of Johannes Marinuszen and Wilhelmina Joannesdr. He was engaged to work 15 May 1652 by Adriaen van der Donck and emigrated to New Netherland. Jacob was probably also called "long Jacob" and "Jacob Jansen de lange" [2]. Jacob's wife was Annetje Adrians. She was from Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands and was possibly the daughter of Adriaen Gelijns and Grietje Jans. [3] Before she had married Jacob, Annetje had married Aert Pietersen Tack. However, Aert deserted Annetje, their son, and their unborn child between December 1662 and May 1663 [4]. The family had been heavily in debt and Aert had mortgaged his crops only months before he disappeared. Annetje and her children were left to sell their possessions at auction to pay off the debts. They were further impacted by the Second Esopus War, when Annetje was forced to leave most of the crops in the field. By February of 1664, Annetje reported that she "lacks bread, pork, meat, etc. in her household". After Aert had married another woman back in the Netherlands, Annetje petitioned for and obtained a divorce from Aert on 21 Aug 1664. [5] Jacob had known the Tack family well before the desertion and divorce - Jacob and Aert were both from Etten [6], they had both been hired by Adriaen van der Donck, and Jacob had been hired by Aert as his farm hand.

Van Etten: The English captured New Netherland from the Dutch in September 1664 and changed the name to New York. The old Dutch naming system was probably confusing to the English and about this time, the Dutch families were asked to choose a family surname. Since Jacob Jansen had been born in Etten, it was natural for he and Annetje to adopt the name von (from) Etten as a surname. The "von" was soon changed to the English form "Van". Thus began the Van Etten family of America. Marriage, Reformed Dutch Church at Kingston: Jacob Jansen Youngman Van Etter in Brobant to Anna Adriance from Amsterdam (1665), lived in the town of Hurly, NY till his death 1690. Children: John 1665; Peter 1670; Manuel 1681; Jacobus/James 1685; and 4 daughters. 1718 Property of Jacob Jansen was divided among his children by the widow. (Notes from Robert B. Van Atta In Van Etten Beginnings and Endings) When Jacob came to America, he settled at what was known at the time as Esopus, on the west bank of the Hudson River in New Netherlands (later became New York). He worked as a farm hand for Aert Pietersen (or Peterson) Tack, and was referred to in one old record as "head farmer". The Baptism and Marriage Registers of the Old Dutch Church of Kingston NY, contain the following record: "Jacob Jansen of Etten, in Brabant, and Annetje Arians of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aert Pietersen Tack, both residing here in Wiltwyck. First publication of Banns, 28 December 1664; seco nd, 4 January; third, 11 January 1665." Records concur that they were married 11 January 1665. As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace and after the publishing of the banns was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten). Later the "von" became "Van". THE VAN ETTEN FAMILY Written By Lila VanEtten Huddy, Milford, PA, in 1925. The original manuscript is in the possession of the Monroe Co. Historical Society at Stroudsburg, PA The scene of our family beginnings, in so far as they have been traced was in a small agricultural town of Etten, Holland, eight miles from Breda, a prominent City of Holland, and the scene of much conflict between the Spanish & Dutch. The little town of Etten was many times destroyed and is fairly new as to historical interest. It is in the province of Noord Brabant, the most southern of eleven Dutch provinces and entirely Flemish in its characteristics. I presume because Belgium was a part of the Netherlands until 1830. Etten is on the railroad running from Flushing to Germany, between the important towns of Rosendale & Breda, and thirty miles from Antwerp. It reminds me of Milford, Port Jervis being Breda, and Stroudburg being Antwerp. The roads are of rough cobblestone, built there in Napoleon's time, and run for miles in a straight line, shaded by linden trees. There are many Monasteries and convents there, wonderful buildings proclaiming Catholicism; and many Monks and Nuns are seen every where. Breda is interesting to us because it was the scene of strategy by the VanEtten ancestors. Breda is strongly fortified in time of danger by submerging the surrounding marshes, making it impossible to reach the city except by waterways. It was besieged and taken back and forth several times during the wars of the Reformation between the Spanish and Dutch and once tradition has it, that our ancestors hid themselves in a barge of peat and thus gained admittance to the city; when the gates opened to admit thei r countrymen, they rushed in and captured the city. Valasquez, painter for the Spanish court in 1590, used this occasion for the subject of his famous picture "The Surrender of Breda" which hangs in the gallery at Madrid. The records of those days were in the churches only and our earliest history of the VanEtten family begins March 23, 1597 when Johannes Marinessen Adriense, the son of Marinus Adriense or Adriensen and Maria Hendricksen, was baptized. Our first records show Jacob Jensen, son of Johannes Marinessen and Wilhelmina Hoannes, was born 1632 and baptized October 22, 1634 at Etten, North Brabant, Holland; to this adventurous young man we must make our bow, for he came to America in 1658 or before. A composite portrait of the VanEtten's which we have, are tall, broad shouldered, blue eyes, auburn hair (sometimes red and curly). When Jacob Jansen was born in 1632 in Holland, Peter Minuet, the first governor of New Amsterdam had just built a fort on the present site of New York City and called it Nieu Amsterdam; now, when Jacob Jansen came to America and married Annatje Adriense, Peter Stuyvesant was Governor of New Amsterdam; in the same year, 1664, the Dutch Nieu Amsterdam became the English New York; why Peter Stuyvesant's guilty surrender, no one knows. I have record that Annatje's father was a very wealthy man and was appointed to high office by Gov. Stuyvesant; he also was an elder in the Old Dutch church at Kingston, NY. Upon the arrival of Jacob Jansen on this continent, he settled at Esopus (now Kingston) on the Hudson and on January 4th 1664, he married Annatje Adriense. She also came from Holland and was a widow. The name Adrianse, as you will notice, is the same family as the ancestor who played the heroic part in the peat barge of which I have spoken. It is observed that Annetje and Jacob were probably distantly related. When the banns were published Jacob Jensen was described as a young man "Von Etten" - in Brabant. As was common in thos e days he assumed the name of his birthplace - Von meaning "from which" was later given as "Van". All the VanEtten's in this country are descended from Jacob Jensen-VonEtten. Jacob Jansen VanEtten By Robert B. Van Atta Jacob Jansen was born in 1632 and baptized October 22, 1634 at Etten, North Brabant province Holland. The son of Joannes Marinesen and Wilhelimina Hoannes Adriense, he became the progenitor of the VanEtten/ VanAtta family in America, coming to this country in 1658 or earlier. When Jacob came to America, he settled at what was known at the time as Esopus, on the west bank of the Hudson River in New Netherlands (later became New York). He worked as a farm hand for Aert Pietersen (or Peterson) Tack, and was referred to in one old record as "head farmer of Tack." Esopus was named after the Indian tribe in the area, and was first settled in 1652 by the Dutch. Relations with the Indians were not good, and the New Netherlands director-general, Petrus (Peter) Stuyvesant, urged an agreement which the settlers signed, May 31, 1658, to erect a palisaded village and demolish their separate dwellings. A brief war with the Indians, known as the First Esopus War, began after soldiers and settlers senselessly shot three Indians in September 1659. An uneasy peace treaty was signed in July 1660. Despite the tense situation, the community kept growing and was named Wildwyck by Stuyvesant in 1661. Then, in June 1663,Indians attacked the village, massacred a number of residents, took others as prisoners, and burned many homes. The records state that Aert Tack was never seen again after that raid. A second peace treaty was concluded with the Indians in May 1664, and, later that year, an important step was taken by Jacob Jansen. But before that, English forces seized New Amsterdam September 8, 1664, and 17 days later Wildwyck came under the authority of the Duke of York. The state of New Netherlands and the city f New Amsterdam were both renamed New York. The nam e Wildwyck fell into disuse, and the town was again generally referred to as Esopus. The Baptism and Marriage Registers of the old Dutch Church of Kingston, NY. Contain the following marriage record; "Jacob Jansen of Etten, in Brabant, and Annetje Arians of Amsterdam, deserted wife of Aert Pietersen Tack, both residing here in Wiltwyck. First publication of Banns, 28 December 1664; second, 4 January; third 11 January 1665." Records concur that they were married January 11, 1665. As was common in those days, Jacob assumed the name of his birthplace and after the publishing of the banns was known as Jacob Jansen von Etten (from Etten). Later, the 'von" became Van." His wife was Annetje Gelvins, daughter of Adrian or Ari Gelvins, interpretation of old Dutch records by experts reveals. Her name was written in several ways, including Annetje Adriantse Gelvins and Annetje Adrianse Kam. Genealogists say her father's name, therefore, was Adrian and his last name Gelvins or Kam. The nature of her first husband Aert Pietersen Tack's difficulty emerges through a sequence of court cases beginning in 1662. There were several problems with employees over wages, and that November he mortgaged the grain crop to be harvested the following year. Tack apparently left before the fall of 1663, either as the result of the Indian raid or under cover of it. His wife harvested the grain and was enjoined by creditors from using the harvest (except that which the court ordered her paid for her work in harvesting). In May 1664, further evidence of Tack's indebtedness, in this case for cattle, appeared. In July, the court took steps to condemn Tack's property for his absenting himself and to sell it to satisfy a list of creditors. In October of 1664, Jacob Jansen VanEtten, a farmhand of Tack, sued for wages due him. The following month, Jacob himself was sued to collect a debt of wheat which he admitted but explained that he couldn't pay due to being sick with fever. He was
