NOTES:  Maritje and her parents arrived in New Amsterdam aboard "De Beaver" on
	29 July 1661.  She joined the Reformed Dutch Church at Bergen on 3
	October 1682, and survived her husband as she was executrix of his will.

	Johannes and his brother, Hans, received the patent for land on Staten
	Island for which their father had petitioned.  Johannes was one of the
	fourteen men who shared the Acquackanonk patent granted in 16 March
	1684/85.  In 1714, he was appointed to the committee which partitioned
	the common lands of Acquackanonk.  Johannes owned several lots of land
	in this area, now Passaic, NJ.  One of these, he and his wife conveyed
	to their son, Hendrick, on 31 January 1708/09.  Another, probably his
	homestead, was located just south of the Post farm at Passaic Bridge.
	This land was still in the family in 1771.  The will of Johannes was
	written 22 October 1722 and proved 18 September 1724.  In it he left his
	estate to his wife for her lifetime and stipulates its division after
	her death among their children, Hendrick, Frans, Jacob, Gertry,
	Magdelena, Janetea, Rachel, Mary, Garretea and Lea.
