• Notes

  Pieter Cornelisz Luyster emigrated to America in 1656. He was descended from a very reputable Dutch family, who had long been residents of Holland and the Rhineland, some of whom had been distinguished citizens of Cologne. Pieter Cornelisz Luyster soon acquired property in Newtown (early name for New York) and being a carpenter by trade, he erected a grist mill at Fish's Point. He was twice married, his first wife being Aeltje Tyssen. He married his second wife, Jannetie, daughter of Jan Snediker, in 1670. The Luysters were listed as members of the Flatlands Church in 1677. Pieter Cornelisz was magistrate of Flatlands in 1660, 1661, 1662, and 1664. He was a resident of Flatbush in 1683. He died in 1695, and his widow Jannetie, in 1713. For years there was an island off Long Island known as Luyster's Island.
