• Notes

  Came to New Utrecht in 1652 with the ship De Bonte Koe ("Spotted Cow"). One of the founders of New Utrecht granted patent of land by the Governor and Council of Fort Amsterdam 16 Jan 1657. In 1659 he added to the first estate a tract of meadowland near what is now called Coney Island, commissioned Sergeant of New Utrecht by the Director - General and Council 2 Oct 1659. Based on the Baptismal records of Jan Thomasse (Van Dyke) before he and his family came to New Amsterdam and found out that he changed his name to Van Dyke. Actually, he only used the name Jan Thomasse. It was his posterity that used the Van Dyke name. The name he went by in Amsterdam, according to the records of the Old Church of Amsterdam was Guecke/Gelcken/Guertsz/Goiken/Gueken/Geucksz. This is also well documented in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 126, #4, Oct. 1995.
