• Isaac Greveraat, a merchant, came to this city at an early period, and married Elizabeth, a daughter of Skipper Jurien Andriezen. Mr. Greveraat was a Schepen of this city in 1644, and in the year 1671 was appointed Schout of Esopus. He died, leaving three children, Andrew, Henry and Elizabeth.
• It is noted multiple times that Juriaen is referred to as "Skipper" . This is not to be confused with the contemporary idea of the skipper as the pilot of a small craft as we know it today. Skipper comes from the Middle Dutch Middle Low German for Schipper, Schip or even Schop....all Dutch names for ship. He was by no means a mere Skipper by today's definition. We have record of at least 2 ships he commanded, neither small. Although there is no known documentation he had undoubtedly been a member of the Dutch Navy, the largest and most powerful in the world at the time. Someone who had proved himself more than noteworthy to his superiors. Based on the mention of a Spanish ship as prize one could assume he operated at times as a privateer. The Navy of the Netherlands was involved in many conflicts during the early 17th century. This produced many Dutch pirates and would have honed the battle skills of a man like Juriaen. The house he built was located across the street from Fort Amsterdam. Whether he was still in the Dutch Navy or a Freebooter he would have been at the beck and call when it came to the defense of New Amsterdam. He impressed people with great wealth and power as he was hired to Skipper the Prins Willem for the East India Company. So we know he was a man of means. He was an archetype for the fearless independent colonial American Naval commanders to come such as John Paul Jones. Unfortunately not much is written of him after that. What I can say is if a movie had been made about him in the golden age of Hollywood no one less than Errol Flynn could have filled his shoes.
