De Camp Genealogy: Laurent De Camp of New Utrecht, N.Y., 1664, and his descendants
Morrison, George Austin
DeCamp family; DeCamp, Laurent, approximately 1645-; New Utrecht (New York, N.Y.) -- Genealogy
NOTE.—(A.) One Gerrit Jansen Van Campen and Machtelt Stoffels, his
wife, had a child Jan, baptized at Kingston, N. Y., on 18 April 1661.
Witnesses: Jacob Jansen Van Campen; (undoubtedly a brother), Juriaen
Westvaal, Marytjen Hansen, and Tryntje Tyssen Bos. From this child Jan
sprang all the Kingston, N. Y., and Somerville, N. J. families of “Van
Campen” descendants of which settled in Schawangunk, Minisink, and
Delaware Water Gap.
On 11th June 1667 one Jan Smedes sued Gerrit van Campen in the New
Amsterdam Mayors Court and on 17th December 1667 Bartholomew van den
Schol sued him in the same court.
One Gerrit Jansen Van Campen bought a house and lot at Flushing, N.
Y., of Peter Jansen Schol on 27 November 1688 (Liber C. page 45
Flushing Register Office). It seems a fair assumption to regard this
Gerrit Jansen Van Campen of Kingston, New York, and Flushing as one
and the same person, and that Jacob Jansen Van Campen, who was a
witness at the baptism at Kingston, 1661, was probably a brother.
(B.) There was a Gerrit Janzen Van Campen, who had a wife Aeltje
Pieter Lamberts, and a child Cornelia, baptized at N. Y. Dutch Church
on 1st January 1655. Witness Emmetie Van der Slüys. The name of the
witness inclines one to believe that Gerrit Janzen Van Campen was
closely related to the following party.
(C.) Lambert Hendrickson Van Campen in 1664 took the oath of
allegiance at New Amsterdam, and was assessed later as living in
“Marketfield Alley.” He and his wife Barbetje Barents, had a child
Hendrick, baptized in N. Y. Dutch Church, 9 November 1661. Witness:
Marritie Van der Slüys.
(D.) One Jan Martyn Van Campen had a child Johannis, baptized in N. Y.
Dutch Church, 4 April 1660. Witnesses: Nicasius de Sille and
housewife, and Pieter Montfort. This man was in command of a privateer
and is mentioned in N. Y. Colonial records.
