• 'Jan Elten, the ancestor of all the Eltings' in Ulster county, was born in Holland, at Beyle, a dependency of Switchsaelen, in the province of Drenthe, on the 29th day of July, 1632, and died some time after 1690. He was the son of Roelif and Aeltje Elten, both of whom were born and died in Holland. He spent the
• http://www.archive.org/stream/genealogicalfami00reyn#page/1030/mode...
• greater part of his youth, and perhaps his young manhood, in his native land. There is no record indicating the date of his arrival in this country, but it is generally inferred that it was somewhere about the year 1658. The first mention found on record concerning him was in one of the volumes of the "Transactions of the Dutch," at Albany, in a commission issued September 6, 1665, by authority of E. Andross, governor, justice of the peace for Kingston, Hurley and Marbletown, and dependencies in Esopus ; and also for him and George Hall, the sheriff, Cornelius Slecht, W. Nottingham, John Elten (or Jan Eltinge) and John Briggs, or any four or more of them to hold a court of sessions twice a year at Kingston, to hear and determine all appeals and causes, as a court of sessions, according to law. He must therefore, have emigrated from Holland a considerable time prior to that date. In 1663 he lived at Flatbush and worked as a carpenter on the church there.
• Being associated as above, with Cornelius Slecht, one of the first settlers of Esopus, he doubtless became intimate with him and his family, thus forming an acquaintance with Cornelius' daughter 'Jacomyntje, whom he married about the year 1677'. From the vicinity of Flatbush he moved to Ulster county, and in 1677 was a witness, with his wife, to the Indian deed to Louis DuBois and others, for land at New Paltz. In October, 1679, it is thought he returned to Holland. He procured certificates from his neighbors as to his identity, and upon reaching Holland in January, 1680, procured certificates of church membership.

  In 1686 Jan Elten was one of the partners in the Arie Roosa patent in Dutchess county. The other partners were Gerrit Aartsen, Arie Roosa, Hendrick Kip, and Jacob Kip. This patent contained about one thousand five hundred acres, opposite the Rondout creek and extending along the bank of the Hudson river. Jan Elting's share of the property was purchased from his heirs in 1713 by Gerrit Aartsen. Jan Elting signed the treaty made by the Paltz Huguenots and the Indians, in the spring of 1677, as one of the witnesses. On the 8th of June, 1686, Jan Elting and Gerrit Aartsen. his son-in-law, and Arien Post bought a lot of land at Rhinebeck, "Right over against the Rondout Creek," by a small creek called Quaawanoss. This is now the home of Hon. Levi P. Morton. The price paid for the land was "6 suits of stremuater ( a kind of coarse cloth), 6 duffels, 4 blankets, 5 kettles, 4 guns, 5 hoes, 5 axes, 10 cases powder, 10 bars of lead, 8 sheets, 8 pairs stockings, 40 fathoms wampum, 2 drawing knives, two adzes, ten knives, half an anker of rum (anker is ten gallons) and one frying pan." 

• ' About the year 1677 Jan Elten married Jacomyntje Slecht, daughter of Cornelius Barents Slecht, born in Woerden, in South Holland, eighteen miles from Leyden. They had five children', as follows: 1. Gerrtje (Gertrude), born at Hurley, living at Kingston; married, at Kingston, July 6, 1699, to Thomas Hall, of Marbletown, New York. The baptisms of Geertje Elting and Thomas Hall are not on record at Kingston. In the deed given in 1729. Thomas Hall is mentioned as of Raritan, Somerset county. New Jersey. 2. Aaltje (Adeline), born at Hurley, baptism not on record ; married, at Kingston, October 26, 1695, to Aart Gerritse ( VanWagenen) ; Aart Gerritse is oldest child of Gerrit Aartse and Clara Pels. 3. Roelofif (Roelif), born at Hurley, baptized at Kingston, October 27, 1678; sponsors, Hendrick and Elsje Slegt; married at Kingston, June ____ . 4. Cornells, born at Hurley, baptized at Kingston, December 29, 1681 ; sponsors, Jochem and Engeltje Hendricks; married, at Kingston, September 3, 1704, to Rebecca VanMeeteren, of Kingston, daughter of Joost Janse VanMeeteren (born in Gelderland, living in Marbletown) and Sara Dubois. 5. William, baptized at Kingston, January 19. 1685 ; sponsors, Magdalena Crispel and Jochem Hendricks ; married Jannetje Le Sueur, daughter of Hillebrand LeSueur and Elsje Jurians.

• 1. CLAES MARTENSZEN VAN ROSENVELT arrived in New Netherland, now New York, in one of the most memorable years in the history of his time, for it was about 1649, when the Dutch government was seriously embarrassed. A contest had been waged between the people and the Sovereign of England, as it had long before been carried on in the Netherlands. Opposition had been succeeded by revolt and civil war. Charles the First was beheaded in front of his own banqueting hall, and England declared a republic. The shock which troubled Europe was felt in America. In that year Winthrop died. The Dutch and other traders were forbidden to trade with the New England savages. Arms were brought to New Amsterdam from Holland, the people fearing that war would break out with the savages. Public opinion was running strong against Stuyvesant. Food was scarce. The winter was so cold that "ink froze in the pen." About this time a Burgher government was demanded, and delegates were sent to Holland. Katskill and Claverack were settled. Stuyvesant opposed the reformers. Fort Nassau was demolished. Esopus (N. Y.) and Newtown (L. I.) were settled. The Burgher government was conceded to Manhattan. War was declared between the English and the Dutch nations. The Dutch built fortifications across New Amsterdam. In 1652-1653 all business was at a standstill, and the people were under arms, not knowing when an attempt would be made against the Colony. The next year the Dutch found danger still greater, as Cromwell had dispatched a fleet to America, and as the fleet was leaving New England for New Amsterdam it was met by a vessel bringing news of peace between England and Holland. Later, in 1655, the Colony awoke one morning to find itself in possession of the Indians, but Stuyvesant established quiet by presents instead of by arms.
