Bring your immigrants from Buren and environs to the North American Colonies settled by the Dutch West India Company. Please limit these to people who originated in the Buren area of Gelderland and adjoining areas of Utrecht

The purpose of this project is to better understand the family ties of emigrants from Buren both before and after they crossed the Atlantic. Not all individuals would have migrated directly from Buren. Many families of Buren ('van Buuren') were living elsewhere when they left Europe and are therefore not included here.

1. Captain Jan Jansze Van Dyck 's wife Teuntje Thyssen Lanen Van Dyck as shown in the marriage: 1673 09 May; Jan Janszen van dyck, jm van Amsterd; Theuntje Thys, jd van Buuren in Gelderlt

2. marriage in 1660: 1660 08 May; Dirck Gerritszen van Tricht, in't Graefschap van Buuren;Geertje Hendricks, wid Andries Hoppe

4. Marriage in New Amsterdam : 1672 18 Aug; Jacobus de Haerdt, jm van Buuren in Gelderlt; Cornelia Beeck, jd van N. Jorck

5. The immigrant ancestor (Cornelius Cornelis) of US President Martin Van Buren, was from Utrecht, not far from Buren. Modern mapping shows that the town of Buren is only 37 km from Utrecht. The two geographical areas border each other. Cornelis Maessen van Buren was not of the merchant class either, so he may have come from the countryside rather than the ancient city of Utrecht itself. Catalyntje Martensen, his wife was born in Guelderland. See also Gerrit Cornelissen Van Buuren in The History of Kingston, New York: From Its Early Settlement to the Year 1820 By Marius Schoonmaker

Note that in that day and age, people did not carry repetitive surnames of today but, rather, patronymics. This makes any genealogical study based on the name VAN B(E)UREN extremely painstaking. We cannot simply search using the modern system of looking at lists limited to such spellings.

6. Balthazar de Haerdt (1633 in Buren -January 1672 in New York)
Immediate Family: Son of Aert DeHart and Gerritizen DeHart (Stoffles) ; Husband of (unknown 1st wife) de Haerdt ; Partner of Margrietje Stuyvesant
