Hi everybody, Many thanks for all suggestions on the death date of Anneke Jans. I think William Bogardus' date seems to be more likely the correct one. Thanks also for the various sources. Being a direct UK descendant of Everardus Bogardus and Anneke Jans I don't have routine access to the various books etc which are, presumably, in New York libraries and collections.
