Notes on the Descendants of Hendrick, son of Matthias Lanen Van Pelt

Notes on the Descendants of Hendrick, son of Matthias Lanen Van Pelt

This post is a follow-up of an earlier one entitled “Notes on the Family of Matthias Laenen Van Pelt of New Netherland.”  That post provided an overview of the research on the family.  It included comments and corrections on the family of Matthias Lane and several of his supposed children.  The family as described Honeyman in “The Lane Families of Somerset County and Vicinity”.[1]

Hendrick Lane married Annetje Jacobs Tileman on 08 Sep 1679 in Flatbush, NY.[2]  Honeyman identified two of their children, Tileman and Matthias.  However, they had two other children, Teuntje, named after her maternal grandmother, and Joost.

Teuntje3 Lane (Hendrick2, Matthys1) was born circa 1687 and married Anthony Byvank on 20 Jan 1704/05 in NYC, NY.[3]  Though undocumented, her parents can be discerned from the naming of their children, the people who were witnesses for the baptisms of their children, and for those for whom they were the witnesses.[4]  Of the baptism of their children:

1)      Johannis, on 30 Nov 1705, named after his paternal grandfather;

2)      Anneke, on 28 Jan 1708, named after her maternal grandmother, the witnesses being her step-aunt, Aeltje Shaers, and her first husband, Benjamin Oldes;

3)      Hendricus, on 21 Dec 1709, named after his maternal grandfather;

4)      Anthony, on 19 Dec 1713, witnesses were Teuntje Idens, being his maternal first cousin, and her husband;

5)      Belitje, on 11 Sep 1715, named after her paternal grandmother.

Of those for whom they were witnesses:

6)      Benjamin, son of Aeltje Schaers and Benjamin Oldes, on 30 Nov 1705, witness was Anthony Byvank;

7)      Theunis, son of Meindert Burger and Sarah Idens, on 10 Dec 1710, witnesses were Teuntje Lane, first cousin of Sarah, and her husband;

8)      Hendrick, son of Marinus Roelofse and Dina Idens, on 27 Aug 1712, witnesses were Teuntje Lane, first cousin of Dina, and her husband;

9)      Hendricus, son of Matthias Lane and Cornelia Hendricks, on 3 Feb 1714, witnesses were Teuntje Lane, sister of Matthias, and her husband;

10)  Catharina, daughter of Gerrit Keteltas and Catharina Van Dyck, on 24 Oct 1716, witnesses were Teuntje Lane, first cousin of Catherine, and her husband.

Only one record clearly of Joost3 Lane has been found.  He married Geertje Romeyn and had a daughter, Geertje, baptized on 01 Jun 1711 in NYC, NY.[5]  The witnesses for her baptism were Aeltje Schaers, presumed step-sister of Joost, and her husband.  Though some of the grandchildren of Gysbert2 Lane (Matthys1) were baptized at NYC, NY, those families moved to other locations by 1711, so this is the best placement of Joost.  He may have moved to Middilesex, NJ as there is a Joseph Lane (Vicutualler) as a defendant is a Supreme Court Case brought him by John Smith for debt in 1739.[6]  Alternately, he could be the Joseph Lane who appears in the list of freeholders in Middletown, Monmouth, NJ in 1748, but not 1755.[7]  No further trace.

The baptismal record of Tileman3 Lane (Hendrick2, Matthys1) was given by Honeyman, but no further record of him has been found.  He presumably died young.

Matthias3 Lane was baptized on 13 May 1683 in Brooklyn, NY.[8]  He was probably living with his uncle, Gysbert, in the 1698 census of New Utrecht, Kings Co., NY.[9]  Gysbert was appointed as one of the guardians of the children of Hendrick Lane before 7 Nov 1693 as he signs the agreement for the distribution of Hendrick’s estate.[10]  A review of the family listings shows the children are listed by sex by age.  In the case of Gysbert Tyssen [Lane], the listing is confusing as the first two children are named Cornelius, while the last male child is Tys.  With the family of Henrick Matysen [Smock], a Jan and Aertje are listed after his daughters.  These are the children of his brother-in-law, Jan Harmens.  Though uncertain, this implies that the two first two males in Gysbert’s family are actually his sons Matthias and Cornelius (his eldest son, Adrian, is listed separately) and the last male, Tys, is his nephew. 

As was seen in the baptismal records above, Mathias Lane married Cornelia Hendricks, daughter of Hendricks Jansen and Maria Jansen, baptized on 01 Feb 1684/85.[11]  Hendrick and Maria were the witnesses for Mathias’ son, Aderjanes4, baptized 22 Oct 1718 at the Reformed Dutch of Raritan, Somerset Co., NJ.[12]  Honeyman had tentatively placed him as a son of Adrian2 Lane (Matthys1) and Martyntje Smack,[13] not having noticed his baptismal record.  Mathias probably had another daughter, Mary4, born about 1729, who married Aaron Boerum with license dated 04 Dec 1749 in Somerset Co., NJ,[14]  Mary is also tentatively listed by Honeyman as a daughter of Adrian2 Lane (Matthys1).  I have placed her here as she may have been named after her maternal grandmother, Maria Jansen.

Hendrick’s second wife was Mary[15], daughter of William Adriaense Bennet, as Honeyman had supposed.  They had one daughter together, not mentioned by Honeyman.  Their daughter, Mayke, was baptized 23 Apr 1693 at Brooklyn, NY, the witnesses being Wouther Van Pelt [Hendrick’s first cousin] and Maria Maria Johannes.  Mayke married William Jans Bennet before their only known child, Mary, was baptized on 11 Jun 1718 at NYC, NY.[16]  The witnesses were Aaltje Staff [Schaers, Mayke’s cousin] and her second husband, John Staff.[17]  No further trace.
