• Joris’ other ten children were born in New Amsterdam and it is likely the family lived on Pearl Street until 22nd June 1654 when Joris sold his property and removed to his farm at Wale bocht, where he lived the rest of his life.
• Joris bought, on 16th June 1637, a farm containing one hundred and sixty morgens or three hundred and thirty-five acres from the Indians land at the Wallabout (the Dutch called it Wale bocht) in present Brooklyn - the first acreage to be purchased in that part of Long Island, adjacent to the East River. This famous Rapalje farm was called "Rinnegakonck" because it was at a stream named such by the indians.

Biography
Jannetje's parents fled Valenciennes in northern France and joined the Walloon Church of Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. They were French Huguenots: Calvinist Protestant Christians, who were persecuted for their religious beliefs under the Roman Catholic French Monarchy. As they were from the very-north of France, they were called "Walloons" or French-speaking northerners.

Jannetje Jorisdr Rapalje was born on August 18, 1629, in New Amsterdam, New Netherland, to Joris Rapalje, 25, and Catlyntje Trico, 24. Her parents were Walloon Huguenot emigrants who crossed the Atlantic on the ship Minuit in 1623.

Jannetje married Remmet (Janszen) van der Beeck on December 21, 1642, in New City, New York. They had 17 children in 30 years. She died on May 29, 1699, in Brooklyn, Province of New York, at the age of 69.

Excerpt from "Dorland Family in America" [1]
"Born August 18, 1629, at New Amsterdam. Her father, Joris Jansen Rapalie, and her mother, Catalyn Trico, were among the Wallon emigrants who came over with Minuit in 1623. They lived first at Fort Orange (Albany), and 1626 removed to New Amsterdam, where they remained many years. Her father kept an inn there part of the time, and was one of the "twelve men" chosen by the people of New Netherland in 1641 to devise measures of defense against the Indians. The family lived on the north side of the river road, now Pearl Street, and on the south side of the old Fort. This situation gave greater protection from the assaults of the savages. About 1654 Joris began living on some land which he had bought on June 16, 1637, the transaction being considered the second purchase of land within the present limits of Brooklyn. The tract comprised 167 morgens (335 acres) and part of it is now used as the grounds of the Marine Hospital. Joris became a magistrate in Brooklyn in 1655 and served until his death, about 1665.
"Concerning Jannetje Rapalie, it is said that as a child she was taken across from Governor's Island to Brooklyn in a tub. She had 10 brothers and sisters. The eldest of these, Sara, b. while her parents lived at Fort Orange, has been accorded the unique distinction as the first white female child b. in the New Netherlands"
