- Jan was not a respected leader, was an indentured child, and was called a ' half-breed' by another Dutchman. There is also some evidence that Jan's f ather, Cornelius, returned to Holland where he married a Dutch widow wh o had other children and that they returned to Long Island where Cornel ius found the son and took him to raise Dutch rather than leave him wit h the natives to be treated as a slave, the usual happening in that era w ith children of mix parentage.
Moreover, Jan did not begin using 'Van Texel' until the English took Ne w York and made all the Dutch families choose a family surname. He took ' van Texel' as it appears that his father, Cornelius Janson, was from th e Dutch island of Texel, a stopping point where ships heading to sea pi cked up supplies and crew members. It is assumed that his father was a c rew member on an early voyage and that is when he met and impregnated t he native American. It was upon one of his return trips that he likely f ound out she had boy and seized the boy to be raised Dutch.
