Does anyone on the list have a clue who the Jan Ariansen van Gent of the following document might be? Albert Albertsen is almost certainly to be identified as Albert Albertsen Terhune. But who is the other fellow? Can Ariaensen be understood to be Aertsen or should they be viewed as two seperate names? Thank you for any help you maybe able to give. Renee L. Dauven To-day, the 30th of June 1663, appeared before me, Walewyn van der Veen, Notary Public, etc., Albert Albertsen, living in the Village of New Utrecht on Long Island, who declared that he had agreed with Jan Ariansen van Gent, bachellor, who also appearing admitted to have accepted as follows: he, the said Ariaensen, agrees to serve personally as substitute for said Albert Albertsen as a soldier of the West India Company in the present war against (p. 54) the Esopus Indians, according to the proclamation by the Director General and Council of this Province of June 25th last, for which said Albertsen shall pay him, besides the usual pay and the booty to be found at the next harvest, or in his absence to his cousin Jacob Teunissen Kay, Burgher of this City, 35 skepels of good winter wheat, both parties binding for the performance of this agreement their respective persons and property etc. etc. etc. This is A the mark* of Albert Albertsen, made by himself, Louwerens van de Spighel Cornelis Mychielsen Jan Aeryensen van Gendt Quod attestor: Wal. van der Veen, Not.

Arnold J.F. van Laer treats Aertsen and Ariansen (also spelled Adriansen) as separate names. -----Original Message----- From: dutch-colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dutch-colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Renee L.

RE: Jan Ariansen van Gent. David M. Riker, "Genealogical and Biographical Directory to Persons in New Netherland," lists Jan Arienszen and Jan Aertszen (family names: Harrison, Arrison, Aertsen, Aerson), but neither one would appear to be an exact match with Jan Ariaensen van Gent. I see no other possible candidates, however. David Smock ============= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Renee L.
