You have so much more than I but I will tell you what I have......"Jan Janse (son of Jan) Van Kirk emigrated in 1663 from Buurmelzen near Buren with wife and five children as per recorded of his daughter Geertje, and settled in New Utrecht, where he owned large tracts." John Van Kirk d.1688, m. Mayke Gisberts and had the following children: Roeloff b. 1654, m. Catherine Simons; Cornelius b.1661 d. before 1689(?);Geortje(?)m/2 Jan D. Van Vliet; Barrndje m. Nicholas (? can't read); Hendrick m. Geortje;Barend (?) m. Rachael Van Der Gritz 1679;Art Johnson b. 1655 d.1742-3. Art Johnson Van Kirk m. Grace Buncock July 25,1681 and at his death his wife was Anne. Art and Grace had the following children:Grace, who married William Lofland(my line);John b. 168?;Mayke m. Jan Lambertse; Art; Syke m. Johan Traeus(???). IN the 1693 Sussex Co., Del.Tax Records 7th month is the following valuation Art Johnson Ver Kirk 150 ...0lbs:12sshillings:6pence. According to! will of Art VanKirk dated 20 Nov, 1742 he left wife Anne, son George, daughter Dorothy, daughter Margaret Clendaniel, and Grace Loffley which is Lofland. This is all I have and the top portion came from a hand written chart I got years ago and some of it is incorrect, so I don't know if the listing of the children of Aert and Mayke is accurate. Unfortunately I know nothing of Art's 2nd wife Anne.
