- Genealogical Record of the Strycker Family (1887) by William Scudder St ryker:
Jan Strÿ cker was born in Holland in the year 1615. He emigrated from Ru inen, a village in the province of Drenthe, with his wife (Lamberje Sue berling), two sons and four daughters, and arrived at New Amsterdam in t he year 1652. Leaving behind him all the privileges and rights which mi ght be his by descent in the old world, he sought to start his family o n new soil in habits of industry and honesty. He was a man of ability a nd education, for his subsequent history shows him to have been promine nt in the civil and religious community in which his lot was cast. His f irst wife in Holland was named Lambertje Seubering, and by her all his c hildren were born there or in this country. She was certainly living in 1 663. After her death he married, April 30, 1679, Swantje Jans, the wido w of Cornelis De Potter, of Brooklyn. She died in the year 1686. On Mar ch 31, 1687, he married a third time, Teuntje Teunis, of Flatbush, wido w of Jacob Hellakers, of New Amsterdam. She survived her husband. She i s recorded as having united with the Dutch Church in New Amsterdam Marc h 3, 1697. Jan Strycker remained in New Amsterdam a little over a year a fter his arrival there, and in the year 1654 he took the lead in foundi ng a Dutch colony on Long Island at what was called Midwout, probably f rom a little village of that name in the province of North Holland. It w as also called Middlewoods, possibly from some of the features of that l ocality. The modern name of the place is Flatbush. On the nth of Decemb er, 1653, while still in New Amsterdam, Jan Strycker joined with others i n a petition of the Commonalty of the New Netherlands and a remonstranc e against the conduct of Director Stuyvesant. The petition recited that " they apprehended the establishment of an arbitrary government over them ; that it was contrary to the genuine principles of well regulated gove rnments that one or more men should arrogate to themselves the exclusiv e power to dispose at will of the life and property of any individual; t hat it was odious to every free-born man, principally so to those whom G od has placed in a free state on newly settled lands. We humbly submit t hat 'tis one of our privileges that our consent, or that of our represe ntatives, is necessarily required in the enactment of laws and orders." I t is remarkable that at this early day this indictment was drawn up, th is " bill of rights " was published. But these men came from the blood o f the hardy Northmen and imbibed with the free air of America the deter mination to be truly free themselves.
