Summary

Johannes (Jan) Dirkse Van Eps, probably born in Holland to Dirck Van Eps and Maritie Damen after their marriage in 1636, perhaps in Groenlo, province of Gelderland, or Amsterdam. His sister Lysbet was born in Delfhaven, Holland. Johannes Dirkse Van Eps came to New Netherlands after his father died in 1647 (buried at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, although some records say New Netherland). Jan’s mother remarried in 1649 to Hendrick Andriese Van Doesburg, and brought Jan and his sister to New Netherland some time after that. After Van Doesburg died, she married again, to Cornelis Van Nes in 1664. She became very wealthy.
