Genealogical Notes on the Family of Jacob Jansen Van Nostrand

 The Family of Jacob Jansen Van Nostrand

This blog post treats a different Van Nostrand family from the earlier post on the family of Hans Jansen Van Nostrand.  They initially settled in Albany Co., NY and spread from there to Queens Co., NY and New Jersey.   This post will bring together the early excellent study of this family was done by Stoutenburgh, and more recent research, in part to help distinguish them from the other Van Nostrand family who settled first in New Amsterdam and then Kings Co., covered in the earlier post.  Here again, Stoutenburgh focused on the families that settled in Queens Co., NY, which he categorized as the “Van Nostrand” family, as distinct from the “Nostrand” family.

Comments here start with one of the children of Jacob Jansen Van Nostrand, continues with their descendants, and then covers the next child.  A Genealogical Summary then follows.

Stoutenburgh indicated that the marriage record of Jacob Jansz and Jannetje Jacobs may not be for Jacob Janszen Van Nostrant.  I have not found any records where he is clearly the person cited as Jacob Jansz without a surname.  Stoutenburgh cites a couple of baptismal records at Kingston, but there is no clear connection to the Van Nostrand family.  In any case, their marriage record will be indicated as supposed here also.   It is not known when either of them died, but they are not included in the list of members of the Reformed Dutch Church (RDC) of Albany, NY that was recorded at the end of 1683. 

Stoutenburgh included a daughter, Agnes2 Van Nostrand (Jacob1 Jansen), but did not include a spouse for her.  However, others have identified Agnes2 as the husband of Abraham Jansz, though the identification of him as Abraham Jans Van Aalsteyn is very unlikely.  The baptismal records for the children of Abraham Jansz do not include the mother’s name as such.  The record for his son Jacob says the child was presented for baptism by Agniet Jansz, possibly the mother using her husband’s patronymic name.  Of their three known children, two were named Jacob and Jannetje after their presumed maternal grandparents, while the third was named Jan after his paternal grandfather.  The witnesses for the baptisms were:

- Jacob Jansz (possibly Jacob Janz Van Nostrand),

- Lysbeth Jacobs (possible sister of Agnes who presented their daughter, Jannetje for baptism), 

- Jean Violette (probably husband of Lysbeth Jacobs), and 

- Roelof Gerrits [Van Der Werken] (husband of Geertje Jacobs, possible sister of Agnes).

Agnes served as the baptismal witness for her niece, Mary, daughter of Jacob Hoogteling and Jannetje Van Nostrand on 12 Nov 1699.  She may also be the Agnietje Hanjon (a mistranscription or recording of Hanson/Jansen?, her married name) who served as a baptismal witness for Hendrick, son of Jacob and Jannetje Hoogteling on 27 Apr 1712 as no other instances of that surname were found.

If Agnes2 did marry Abraham Jansen, then Geertje Jacobs, wife of Roelof Gerrits, is probably her sister.   Roelof and Geertje had children named Jannetje and Jacob after their presumed maternal grandparents and a son named Gerrit after his paternal grandfather (the paternal grandmother has not been identified.  The baptismal witnesses for their children included:

- Jacob Jacobs Van Nostrand (Geertje’s presumed brother), 

- Jean Villette (presumed brother-in-law of Geertje), 

- Lysbeth Jacobs and Lysbeth Violet (using her patronymic and married names) who presented two of their children for baptism (presumed sister of Geertje).  

- Jean Rogi and Lysbeth Rogi/Regi (possibly the same as Jean Villette and Lysbeth Jacobs) for two of their children.

Also, Jan Jacobs Van Nostrand sold land to Roelof Gerrits (his presumed brother-in-law, though not stated as such in the deed) on 26 Jun 1677.  Given the above information, Geertje will be listed in the Genealogical Summary as a possible daughter of Jacob1 Jansen Van Nostrand.

No marriage record was found for Jean Villette and Lysbeth Jacobs or baptismal records for any children.  The did not serve as baptismal records for any other children, though Jean and Elizabeth Rogi/Regi did server for three other children.  No other records were found to support Lysbeth Jacobs as a member of the Van Nostrand family, however further research may uncover additional information.

Stoutenburgh suggested Pieter Jacobsen might be a son of Jacob1 Jansen Van Nostrand, but he was not.

1) Pieter Jacobsen was a miller of Esopus." in 1663 and married by 1662, too early to have been Jacob's son.

2) Stoutenburgh states "There was a Peter Van Noortstrandt in Hurley, who took the oath in 1687 as being an inhabitant for 29 years,  He got that information from N.J. Ostrander, but the original document names him as just Pieter Peterson, 29 years Inhabitant.  Stoutenburgh understood this to mean he was a resident for 29 years, but later research shows this should probably be read as he was 29 years old and a resident (of Hurley).  Thus, this record does not pertain to Peter Jacobson, though         a Pett: Jacobs does appear in the list of men in Ulster, NY, who took the oath of allegiance on 1 Sep 1687, as well as Petter Petersin (that lists does not include the additional information in the deed records).  

3) He was not Pieter Jacobsen, husband of Rebecca Jans, was of Uytdam [presumably Uitdam, The Netherlands] when they married.

4) Rebecca Jans was the daughter of Jan Hanson, son of Hans Jansen Van Nostrand.  In the witnesses to the baptisms of their children there are many connections to the Van Nostrand family of New York City and Kings Co.  Though he did not find a connection to the family of Albany, he appears to have thought it still worth exploring.  Stoutenburgh did not list any children of Pieter and Rebecca, so he was probably unaware that apparent connection was through Rebecca, not a possible between Pieter and the Van Nostrand family of Albany.

Jacob4 Van Nostrand (Casparus3, Jacob2, Jacob1 Janszen) married Jannetje Van Stee (not mentioned by Stoutenburgh) with license dated 23 Dec 1740, daughter of Jan Hendricksen and Wyntje Ten Eyck, baptized 09 Apr 1720 at Readington, Hunterdon, NJ.  Jan and Wyntje Hendrickson had two other older children, Matthew and Hendrick, who were baptized at the Reformed Dutch Church (RDC) of Raritan, Somerset, NJ in 1715 and 1717.  The adoption of the surname Van Stee is seen most clearly in the will of Hendrick Van Stee.   He provides that Susannah Hendricksen is to be "part of her life maintained out of my estate, and the other part by those who receive part of John Hendrickson's estate", so Susannah is presumably an undocumented sister of Hendrick Van Stee, John Hendricksen being their presumed father.  Susannah would have been named after her paternal aunt, daughter of Hendrick Jansen and Marie Jansen.  Also, Jacob Van Oastander, his presumed brother-in-law, was one of the executors of his will, though not stated as such.  Jan Hendricksen’ sister, Annetje, wife of Benjamin Steinmets, also used the surname Van Stee, as a variant of it [V. Stag] appears in the baptismal record of her daughter, Anna, at the RDC of Harlingen, NJ on 3 Apr 1728.

The children of Jacob4 are mentioned in his will written at Raritan, Somerset Co., NY on 20 Aug 1791.  Their birth order is unknown, but they were named after their grandparents, parents, and aunts or uncles:
-  Jane5, after her paternal grandmother and mother.
-  Caspar, after his paternal grandfather,
-  John, after his maternal grandfather.
-  Wyntje, after her maternal grandmother.
-  Annetje, after her maternal aunt
-  Jacob, after his father, and
-  Matthew, after his maternal uncle.

Stoutenburgh identified some of the children of Caspar(us)5 Van Nostrand, but only identified him as the son of “Judge Jacob” without identifying his mother or grandparents.  Caspar(us)5 had two other children, Johannes and Caspar, also baptized at Raritan, NJ in 1772 and 1776.  Stoutenburgh also identified some of the children of John5, but not John’s parents.  Other children mentioned in John’s will include: Mary, Christina, Christopher, and John.  Jane5 married Richard Ludlow, Wyntje5 appears to have not married, and Annetje5 married Jacob Van Winkel as stated or suggested in their father’s will.  Jacob5 married Phebe McDonald, known from the baptism of their son, Richard on 28 Jun 1789, and Matthew5 married Mary Phillips, known from the baptism of their son, Matthew, on 26 Mar 1786. 

Jannetje3 Van Nostrand (Jacob2, Jacob1 Janszen) did not marry Hartman E. Freeland as Stoutenburgh supposed.  Hartman would have been more than 20 years younger than his wife, see Jannetje4 Van Nostrand (Jacob3, Jacob2, Jacob1 Janszen) below. 

Jacob3 Van Nostrand (Jacob2, Jacob1 Janszen) and Annetje Croesvelt probably had two undocumented children, Jacob4 and Jannetje4.  Jacob4 was born about 1722 and married (1) Rachel Huden/Herden on 20 Aug 1747.  Jannetje4 was born about 1725 and married Hartman Vreeland on the same day and both were of Bergen Co., NJ at their marriage (she was not the daughter of Jacob2 Van Nostrand (Jacob1 Janszen) as Stoutenburgh thought.  The witnesses for Jacob’s daughter, Annetje, on 14 Feb 1748 were Hartman Vreeland and Jannetje Van Nostrand.  Jacob Van Nostrand and Jannetje Van Nostrand were the baptismal witnesses for their presumed niece, Jannetje, daughter of Christopher Van Nostrand and Sarah Van Nostrand on 6 Jun 1756.  Jacob probably married (2) a daughter of Jacob Outwater of New Barbadoes by 24 Jan 1763 as he is presumably the one named in a deed as his son-in-law, of New Barbadoes, Bergen, NJ at the time.

Jacob4 Van Nostrand and Rachel Huden probably had an undocumented son, Jacob5.  On 3 Apr 1772 Jacob Van Nostrand, blacksmith, (no wife mentioned) of Bergen Co., NJ, sold land to Garret Van Houten, witnessed by Jacob Van Nostrand, Jr., presumably his son.  Jacob Jr. was probably the fellowbondsman on the estate of presumed uncle, Christopher Van Nostrand on 23 Jan 1793.  On 7 Oct 1795, Hannah, wife of John Westervelt and widow of Christopher Van Nostrand, of Franklin, Bergen Co., NJ sold property in New Barbados to Jacob Van Nostrand of New Barbadoes, Bergen, NJ.  Her children were probably too young, so this is likely her husband’s nephew. 

Annetje3 Van Nostrand (Jacob2, Jacob1 Janszen) and Isaac Kip had several more children mentioned in his will, not mentioned by Stoutenburgh, including Yanetie, Catylntie, Lena, Elizabeth, Jacob and John.

Johannes4 Van Nostrand (Jacob3, Jacob2, Jacob1 Janszen) was not the husband of Mary Brokaw as some have claimed.  This is incorrect as two of his brothers, Matthew and Jacob, and Wyntje Van Nostrand, probably his sister, are mentioned in his will, all children of Jacob Van Nostrand and Jannetje Van Stee.  He probably served as a baptismal witness for Peter Mourisse at Second River, NJ on 18 Oct 1747.  He and his brother, Christopher4, among others claimed rights to a tract of land at New Barbadoes Neck, Bergen Co., NJ on 4 Jan 1762.  No record has been found of his marriage, but he probably had a son, Christopher5. who married Annetje/Hannah Stynmets before 22 Sep 1782 when their son, John, was baptized.  Christopher5 could be the son of Jacob4, brother of Johannes4, but the naming of his son, John, after his presumed paternal grandfather and Johannes’ geographical closeness to his brother, Christopher4, favor this placement.

Jacob3 Van Nostrand (Aaron2, Jacob1 Jansen) married a woman named Helletje, not included by Stoutenburgh.  They were listed as the baptismal witnesses for his half-sister, Mary, and his niece, Jannetje Burtis, daughter of his sister, Jannetje.

Myers7 Van Nostrand (Abraham6, John5, Aaron4, Jan3, Aaron2, Jacob1 Jansen) married Hannah Blunt or Blout.  He was probably also known as James M. Van Nostrand.  Myers was unmarried and living with his brother, Norman, in the 1850 census of Newtown, Queens, NY.  He is listed in the 1860 census of Hempstead, Queens, NY as Morris Van Nostrand, age 35, with Hannah, 35; Sarah E., 9; Myers (aka John?), 6; Abram, 4; Cristopher, 2; Jane (aka Christina),2/12; Ellen, 3/12.  In the 1870 census of Brooklyn, Kings, NY Ellen Van Nostrand, 11; Christina, 11; Eliza, 8; Mary, 6, are listed as being in a boarding school; no parents are included.  In the 1870 census of Hempstead, Queens, NY Abram Van Nostrand, 13, and Sarah, 15, are living with Sarah Norton, their paternal aunt and her husband, John.  Next door in the household of John Norton, Jr, is Anna Van Nostrand, 14, and James Van Nostrand, 40, presumably John’s cousin, Anna Maria, and maternal uncle, Myers.  He is apparently listed the 1880 census of Hempstead, Queens, NY as James Van Nostrand, 57, with Liza, 15.  He died on 27 Aug 1894 at Inwood, NYC, NY and is buried with his daughters, Mary Van Nostrand Johnson, Christina Van Nostrand, and Ellen Van Nostrand.

Stephen6 Van Nostrand (John5, Aaron4, John3, Aaron2, Jacob1 Jansen) may have been married previous to his marriage to Elizabeth Treadwell, widow of his brother, Richard.  A Stephen Van Nostrand married Sarah Strickland on 21 Aug 1813 at Grace Episcopal Church, Jamaica, NY.  Nothing further is known about that couple.  However, this Stephen Van Nostrand married Elizabeth Treadwell after Richard’s death in 1819 but before 7 Oct 1821 when their son, William, was born.  He is probably the Stephen Van Nostrand listed in the 1820 census of Queens, NY with 1 son and 3 daughters, which is one more daughter than Elizabeth had at that time.  It is likely that this Stephen Van Nostrand married (1) Sarah Strickland, had a daughter about 1815, while Sarah died sometime before the 1820 census.  If correct, this unknown daughter probably died young as there is only one daughter listed in the 1830 census.

Moses3 Van Nostrand (Aaron2, Jacob1 Jansen) was probably baptized in 1706 (no day or month listed) at Jamaicia, his parents being listed as Aron Van Wesstromt and Aeltie Van Wesstromt.  His wife may be the Abigail Nostrand mentioned in the will of Abigail Embree: Will of Abigail Embree [Emery?], Hempstead, Queens, NY, 18 Dec 1786.  Sister Mary Searing; Dr. James Searing & wife Sarah & 6 children; Samuel Nichol; bequest to William Nichol's children; bequest to sister Han'ah Hewlet children, bequest to Abigail Nostrant.  Executors were kinsmen Dr. James Searing & Samuel Nichols, Proved 8 May 1787.

Aaron4 Van Nostrand (Moses3, Aaron2, Jacob1 Jansen) may have married a woman named Ann and had several children baptized at St. Paul Episcopal Church at Huntington (Shelton), CT.  The possible baptisms are:
10/5/1769. Elizabeth, daughter of Aaron and Ann Vanaustin;
3/31/1773, Polly Elizabeth, children of Aaron Vanaustin;
1/25/1776, Betty Symmons daughter of Aaron Vanauston.

The surname could be a mis-recording of Van Nostrant, but occurring three times makes that seem unlikely.  Though he did have children named Polly and Betsy, little else is known of them, so these baptismal records cannot be confirmed as theirs. 

Charles6 Van Nostrand (Charles5, Aaron4, Moses3, Aaron2, Jacob1 Jansen) wrote his will as Charles Van Ostrand, in 87th year of his age in March 1832 (sic) at Ballston, Saratoga, NY, though he died on 09 Sep 1854.  It mentions wife, Anna [Sherwood], daughters.  His probate petition lists next of kin as Anna, widow, Rebecca Van Ostrand, Emily, w/o George B. Wakeman, Martha, wife of William S. Curtin, Katherine Brewster, Caroline Van Nostrand, wife of Abraham Van Nostrand, Frederick Van Ostrand, and Eliza, wife of [ ] Froms, Julia, wife of Clark Reynolds, Charles Van Ostrand, Lucy, wife of [ ] Parks, Hannah, wife of George Sweet, Cornelia, w/o [ ] Davis, Polly, w/o [ ] Davis, John, Agnes, Susan, Rosana, and 2 other Jordan children, minors, of Susan Jordan, dec'd. children.  Stoutenburgh does not name either of his wives and only four children by his first marriage.

Aaron4 Van Nostrand (Isaac3, Aaron2, Jacob Jansen1) (aka. Stine) was probably the grandfather, not the father, of the children listed by Stoutenburgh.  His supposed son, David, was born was born about 1817 according to the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census records of Jamaica, Queens, NY.  He married first Levina Ostrander.  He married second by 1870 Martha Abrams (see 1870 census), and was buried 26 Aug 1891.  David’s brother, Thaddeus, was living next door to him in the 1860 census, aged 40, but born 06 Oct 1815 according to the Ostrander genealogy where his parents are identified as Aaron Van Nostrand and Sarah Losey.  Their brother, Isaac, age 26, was living with Aaron and Sarah Van Nostrand (probably his parents, ages 62 and 64, respectively) in the 1850 census of Jamacia, Queens, NY.  Isaac is listed in the 1860 census of Jamaica, Queens, NY, age 35, with his wife, Mary, her maiden name being Mary Jane Ostrander.  Their supposed brother, Aaron, probably did not exist; Stoutenburgh gives only his burial date, 15 Nov 1865, which is probably actually for Isaac’s father, Aaron.  Their father, Aaron, appears as Aaron Styne, age 73, with his wife, Sarah, age 71, in the 1860 census of Jamaica, Queens, NY, while his wife, Sarah Van Nostrand, appears in the 1870 census of Jamaica, NY without him.  Aaron appears in the 1820 (not separated by town) and 1830 census records of Jamaica, Queens, NY with three sons (David, Isaac, and Thaddeus) and two daughters, who have not been identified.  Aaron is probably listed a both Aaron Van Nostrand and Aaron Styne (similar residents and neighbors of each other) in the 1840 census of Jamaica, Queens, NY.  It is unclear who this Aaron’s father was.  However, given Aaron4 probably also used the surname Stine and their location in Jamaica, it is likely that this Aaron’s father was Aaron4 Van Nostrand (Isaac3, Aaron2, Jacob Jansen1).
