About Jan Meyrinek

Dates of birth and death are best guess.

"Jan Meyers married Teuntje Straitsman and lived in Brazil in the Dutch colony at Fort Margaret. Jan Meyers died, and a posthumous child was born and named Margaret. Teuntje Straitsman moved to New Amsterdam and was married twice there " the last time in 1657 to Gabriel Carbosie of New Amsterdam. He was the only witness to the bpt. of Hendrick Martensen's son Hendrick, Nov. 24, 1669. From this circumstance, it appears that Teuntje Straitsman was dead.

Jan Meyers and Teuntje Straitman were the forefather and forebear on the maternal side of the Wiltsees' of America.

It does not appear that there was issue from Margaret Meyers and Herman Jansen. The names of Barber. Marten, Theunis and Jacob in Margaret's family probably came from her side." Wiltsee, Jerome. (2013). pp. 70-1. A Genealogical and Psychological Memoir of Philippe Maton Wiltsee and His Descendants (Vol. 1). London: Forgotten Books. (Original work published 1908)
