"Jan Corneliszen Damen In The New World by Lorine McGinnis Schulze[1]

Jan Cornelise Damen's contract period with Jacob Stoffelszen was three years, ending sometime in 1654. It seems he diligently saved his wages because in April 1655 he purchased Cornelis van Tienhoven's house and land in Breuckelen, Long Island.[2] The cost of his new home was 1300 Carolus guilders with equal payments to be spread over a three year period.[3] Since Jan earned a total of 320 guilders in his contract time, it seems he acquired more money elsewhere.

It is likely that Jan was 20 or older when he made this purchase, giving him an estimated year of birth of 1635. This agrees with the findings in Amsterdam that he was a minor at the time of his contract in 1651. Jan signed with his mark indicating he could not write his own name.

In February 1656 Jan is found in New Amsterdam where he was the baptismal sponsor for Lubberts, the son of his cousin, Jan Cornelise Buys aka Damen.[4] From 1656 to 1661 we find no records of Jan although we know that somewhere in this time period he met, and married, Sophia Martens.[5] While no marriage record has been found, Sophia is recorded as the mother of several of their children in their baptismal records,[6] and is named in their joint will written in 1680.

It is almost certain that this baptismal sponsor is Jan Cornelise Damen, who later married Sophia Martens.

About Hendrick Willemse Buijs

JAN JANSEN BUYS was the son of Jan Cornelius Buys and his first wife Eybe Lubbeftse Van Blarcom. He removed from Flatbush to Fort Orange (later the city of Albany, New York), and to nearby Schenectady to join other early settlers in what was then wild and dangerous bush area. He married Lysbet DeGroot, daughter of a Schenectady settler. In 1690 the massacre and burning at Schectady took place. The French had formed a war party from Montreal, Canada, composed of both French and Indians which attacked Schenectady, left it in ashes, killed many inhabitants and captured many more. Jan Buys escaped the massacre and took refuge in and became permanent settlers of Dutchess County, NY where the city of Poughkeepsie was later built. Jan's sister, Tryntje Buys, had married Baltus Barents Van Kleek who joined with Jan Jans Buys and three other "Dutchmen" all of whom became tenants on land for which Van Kleek's brother-in-law Robert Sanders held the patent. Children of Jan Jans Buys and Lysbet De Groot were:

Johannes Buys b. 1685

Abram (Abraham) Buys b. 1691

Lysbeth Buys b. 1694

Sara Buys b. 1703

and others

Death

Died September 24, 1646 in Holland, Reusel-de Mierden, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands

Note that this is a completely bogus death location. Here is a Dutch Genealogy blog which explains the error. It comes from an early Family Tree Maker autocomplete for "Holland" which failed to recognize the name as the intended Netherlands, and instead "found" a match for an obscure street in a tiny village of Reusel. As a result, this location has been propagated into countless trees all over databases and the Internet. It should be removed wherever it is found, because it is extremely unlikely that many people's genealogical ancestors actually came from that small town. Mix-216 19:13, 3 December 2014 (EST)
