About Jan Jelisz Verkerk
Notes on "The Van Kirk Family " by WILSON V. LEDLEY :
In the early records of Kings County, N.Y., where the Van Kirks first settled in this country, they spelled their name Verkerk. "Ver" is the Dutch contraction of "van der" and "kerk" means "church," so it is quite obvious that "of the church" has no particular geographical designation, such as "Van Hoorn" or "Van Naerden." Since it is known that Jan Jansen, the first Verkerk in this country, came from Burmelzen near Buren in Gelderland, The Netherlands, the name possibly goes back always in that locale. Jan, did not take his surname from his place of birth or residence.
