  • Notes 
    • In the Netherlands, the Dutch did not use surnames until the time of Napoleon, or 1664 in New Amsterdam [New York] when England took control. The first known ancestor to New Amsterdam, New Netherlands, Herck Sybouts, used "Sybouts" as a person identifier, meaning "Herck, son of Sybout". Herck Sybouts children used the patronymic Hercx, Hercks, Herckse, Herckszen and his grandchildren adopted the surname Cranckheit, sometimes later shortened to Crank, Cronk & other variations. In the old Dutch language, the letter "C" was not used and so spelling on early records are seen spelled with "k", & "i' & 'j" are interchangeable and pronounced with same force. All this being explained, 1708 born and baptized Theunis [Hendrick-Theunis-Herck], born in Phillipsburgh, married Annetje Van Tassel, and resided in Phillipsburgh until he moved to Hopewell, Dutchess, New York sometime between 1741 & 1745. Theunis was living in 1758 but probably died before 1767 when his wife, Annatje, alone was sponsor at the baptism of their grand-daughter, Aeltje. Less
