Jan Gerritsen Decker of New Amstedam
Jan Gerritsen Decker was born about 1640 in Heerden, Gelderland, Dutch Republic. On 3/24/1662 Jan Gerritsen sailed from Amsterdam aboard de Trouw (The Faith), arriving in New Amsterdam on 6/12/1662.
On 6/7/1663 Wiltwyk and the nearby "New Village" were attacked by Indians. And, eighteen settlers died and nine were taken prisoner. There is a distinct possibility that Jan and his future wife, Gretje Westercamp, were among the captives taken. "Jan Gerritsen on Volckert’s bouwery" and one woman and three children from the household "of Grietje Westercamp" were listed as a captives.
On 3/23/1664 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Wiltwyck, New Amsterdam, Jan Gerritsen married Gretje Hendrickse Westercamp ch. 10/191642 Manhattan, New Amsterdam. Evidently, Gretje was the unwed mother of son Pieter Jacobsen, christened 10/1/1662 Wiltwyk, Dutch America. But, Jan married her anyway.
Jan and Gretje appeared many times in subsequent years in court actions. By 1685 the family was living in Mombaccus. Jan Gerritsen died 4/5/1706 in Ulster Co NY.
