• Notes

  William Sawyer Bergen, Jacob Milton Bergen Family of Long Island New York (1995 Gateway Press Baltimore, Maryland), pg. XII-XIII, 1, Appendix A-2. " Hans Hans (Bergen) immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1633... Our Hans after immigrating to New Amsterdam 1633, lived on Manhatten Island and owned property by Fort Amsterdam. He married Sarah De. Rapalya in 1639. Sarah was but 14 years old and had been born at Fort Orange (now Albany, N.Y.) in 1625 Jans shows in several Dutch court cases. One case, in 1648, was very serious and the prosecutor asked for a sentence of death. Hans had transported military hardware, a serious crime. Had this sentence been carried out we would have little more to write about. Luckily Hans was reprived. Hans purchased property in Wallabout, Brooklyn in 1639 for a farm to which he and Sarah and family moved in late 1640's and where he ultimately died in 1654.
