About Laurens Jeuriansen Haff
Centennial History of Missouri By Walter Barlow Stevens, pg 424
Teuntie Straetsman, widow of Jan Meyer, and it seems that she was Jurian's
second wile. By her he had one son, Lawrence, who was born in 1649. Jurian evidently
died shortly afterwards and about 1654 his widow migrated to Brooklyn, New York,
then Breucklyn, New Amsterdam, which was a Dutch colony at that time. It seems
she had a sister there and that Jurian Haff also had a sister there. Probably while
in the service of the Dutch Company he had been there, also. She married again
at Brooklyn and died at Gowannus, Long Island, October 19, 1662, leaving her son
Lawrence, about thirteen years of age, a ward of the Dutch church. Lawrence was
apprenticed to the pastor of that church, Rev. Henricus Selyns, on November 22,
1662. The records of the church give a long list of the personal property that was
left by his mother for him. When he became of age he married the daughter of
Pieter Jansen Meet. Her name was Knierte Pieters Meet. She was born in Amers-
foort, Holland, and emigrated with her father to Brooklyn in 1662 on the ship "Rose
Tree." Lawrence Haff lived in New Utrecht, afterwards at Gravesend, Long Island,
and at Flatbush, Long Island, where he probably spent his declining years. He had
eleven children whose names were Peter, Jurian, Teunis, Styntie, Maria, Johannis,
Jacob, Theuntie, Margaret, Sauta and- Lawrence.
