NOTES:  In at least one modern source, Aeltje's full name is given as Aeltje
	Wemp Van der Heyden, indicating that she was a daughter of Jan Barentse
	Wemp and Maritie Myndertse, and the first wife of Jan Cornelise Van der
	Heyden.  Unfortunately there is no evidence currently known to support
	this claim.

	Jan is mentioned as early as 1663 when he was a member of the "night
	watch" at Fort Crailo.  On 17 October 1674 he was on the list of invited
	guests to the funeral of Jermias Van Rensselaer.  As early as 1682 his
	farm at Half Moon (Waterford) was mentioned and on 6 March 1677, it was
	recorded that he and Barent Albertse Brandt had bought from Annetie
	Lievens, the widow of Goose Gerritse, a piece of land "lying in the
	Halve Moon" with the Island called "Shutter's Island."  In April 1675,
	Jan valued his farm as "well worth 400 or 500 beavers."  On 14 March
	1675/76, he brought suit against Wynant Gerritse claiming Wynant owed
	him 48 Guilders in beavers, 10 guilders in seawan, and 60 boards for
	rent of land, feeding of hogs, etc.  Wynant denied having asked Jan to
	feed the hogs, but the court found in Jan's favor and ordered Wynant to
	pay Jan within 14 days, plus expenses.  On 6 August 1683 he was living
	"Beyond the North Gate" when he made a contribution of 2 pieces of eight
	to the salary of Domine Dellius.  On 2 December 1684, Aeltje gave
	testimony in a dispute between Richard Pretty, Sheriff, and Barent
	Albertse Bratt.  On 16 June 1697 his family was composed of 1 man, 1
	woman, and 4 children "so far in the Corporation" probably meaning that
	he then lived within Albany City.  On 24 Mar. 1686/87, Jan and his
	brothers signed a release of all demands of Cornelis Van Ness to the
	heirs of Maria Damen.  On 7 February 1699 his brother Hendrick
	transferred to him half of his rights to Hoosick.  On 4 January 1699 he
	took the Oath of Allegiance and in 1701 signed a petition of the
	Protestants of New York.  He was an Assessor of Half Moon (1701-1703)
	and in 1702 a Pathmaster.  The names of Jan and Altje Van Esch appeared
	as members of the Albany Church since 1683.
