Hello Cor and Janice, My records show Jan Van Cleef as born in Amsterdam, about 1628 (Wilson Ledley, "Van Cleef Family). My line descends through Marya Van Cleef, daughter of Louwerens Van Cleef and Jannetje Lane (Laen, Lanen) whose ancestors were from Peelt, Limburg. It is entirely possible that I was writing Van Cleef and thinking Lanen van Pelt back then. I apologize for the confusion.

Maybe he can shed some light on this.

Bryce & Cor, Thank you for responding.  This makes sense.  I had been looking for anything that might be new since Ledley, and this caught me eye as a possibility.  I'm descended from Isabrant/Aaron/William.
