Am seeking information on the family of Court or Koert Jansen/Johnson who married Geurtje LANE about 1718/1719. I have baptisms for thier children as follows: Marytie, bp 14 Oct 1719, RaritanRDC ---sp: Arie Lane & wife [maternal grandfather & #2wife] ---child named for maternal grandmother. Adriaen, bp 3 Dec 1721, ReadingtonRDC ---no wit---child named for maternal grandfather Hendricus, bp 9 Feb 1724, Freehold/MiddletownRDC ---sp. Andres Jansen & marike Jansen Amack [wit=paternal grandfather or uncle & paternal aunt] Meindert, bp 18 May 1727, HarlingenRDC ---no wit. Johanna, bp 19 Jun 1729, HarlingenRDC ---sp: Abraham Laen & Annetje Brouwer ---?named for paternal grandmother "Hanna"? [wit=maternal uncle & his wife] Abraham, bp 14 Oct 1731, HarlingenRDC ---sp: Miendert Jansen & Catrina Marfort [wit=paternal uncle & ?his wife?] Hendricus, bp 18 Dec 1737, ReadingtonRDC ---no wit. I have an article on the Lane family that says that this family had children "Andrew, Martha, Henry, Abraham & others". The father supposedly died in 1772 at Johnsonburg, Warren Co, NJ I believe that in 1772 this location was Sussex Co? Would anyone have a will for the father or any other information they would be willing to share on this family? Laurie mailto:light30@earthlink.net

Dear Laurie, The betrothal of Coert Jansen's parents is on page 267 of the new Voorhees edition of the Flatbush church records: "Andereis Jansen, young man from New York, and Hendericktie Mijnders, young woman from [New] Utrecht] and residing there [were betrothed on] 25 Jan 1690." "Mijndert", the son of Isack LeFever and Wijntie Mijnders, was baptized on 16 Mar 1690 at Flatbush. The witnesses were Mijndert Coerten and Maria [Pia] Mijnder. Wyntie Mijnderts and Hendrickje Mijnderts must have been sisters. Andreis Jansen [aka Andrew Johnson] and Hendrickje Mijnderts had at least 3 children, but I was able to find the baptism only of Meindert (who was baptized at Brooklyn on 6 Apr 1696). 1. Mary Johnson m. Jan Amack 2. Coert Johnson m. Geertje Lane, d/o Arien Lane and Martyntje Smock 3. Meindert Johnson m. Catherine Morford, the d/0 John Morford and Margaret _______ Andreis Jansen moved from Long Island to Middletown, Monmouth Co., NJ before 1720. "John Aumuck" of Freehold, Monmouth Co., weaver" wrote his will on 23 Jan 1720, and it was proved 21 Jun 1721. His 3 children were given as Ionaytye [Jannetje?], Andrew, and Tunis. The executors were John's wife Mary [Johnson]; her father, Andrew Johnson; and John Amak's brother, Tunis "Aumuck". Teunis Amak was married to Helena Laen. They had 4 children baptized in the Freehold church: Janneke in 1723; "a child" in 1725; Elisabeth in 1733; and Aphie in 1735. Can you tell me where this Helena fits into our LANE family? Finally, I have been unable to find a will for Coert Johnson. However, I note that "Andries Johnson of Greenwich, Sussex County, NJ" wrote his will on 10 Feb 1777, and it was proved on 26 Mar 1777. In it Andries mentions two sons -- Court and David. Do you think Andreis was the son of Coert and Geertje and the younger Court their grandson?
