• Notes

  Laurens Pieterszen de Noorman van Tønsberg * First Name: Laurens * Last Name: Patronymic for "son of Pieter." * Toponym: de Noorman = "the Norwegian" * Toponym: van Tønsberg = "from Tønsberg" Laurens was known as "Laurens the Norman." He was from Tonsberg on the southern shore of Norway near the border with Sweden. We can place him in New Amsterdam at least by 1639, because on June 16, 1639 he was declared the sole heir of Roeloff Roeloffsen. Subsequently his name appears on deeds and other court records and in church records.
