Early Bergen County Families, compiled by Pat Wardell, 130 Crestview Drive, Englewood, FL 34223 • [email protected]
-- VAN PELT -The family groups represented in this collection may not be complete, because information was entered bit by bit as I found it
or happened upon it; I have not done any systematic research on these families. Because they do not compose whole family
genealogies, these listings are arranged differently from most genealogical records or histories. Each listing is a family group,
and is arranged and filed alphabetically under the name of the head of the family.
Names are generally in alphabetical order (disregarding spelling variations and middle names), then in approx. chronological
order. The first sorting is by surname (mixing together any and all spelling variations), then by given name, then by approximate birthdate (when known) in approximate chronological order. For easier reference, surnames in headings are grouped together under the most common spelling usage that evolved in this geographical location, regardless of individualistic
spellings in the records themselves. Cross references are used in most cases where surname spellings substantially vary.
Within the quoted records, the individual spellings have been (mostly) retained because they sometimes provide clues (although in general—but with exceptions—they seem to largely reflect the record keeper's particular orthography and not always, at this early period, any special family preference). Those interested can see the variety and evolvement of a particular
name’s spelling and the interesting and sometimes amusing attempts at phonetic reproduction. Keep in mind that before
names and spellings were standardized, records reflected the individualistic whim of the particular recorder (often two different spellings of the same name within the same document). In addition, all records were handwritten, and sometimes deciphering a handwritten name in early records can be quite challenging! So expect to search under all possibilities of spelling
(for both surnames and given names).
Given names are grouped together without regard for middle initials or middle names. Because middle names and/or initials
are sometimes used, sometimes not used in various records, it seemed simplest to arrange entries as if the middle names or
initials did not exist. Usually all variations of a given name are grouped together as though spelled one way: Jan, Johannes,
John, etc. are all grouped as one (but also look under the other forms).
Sources and references are included with each "family" grouping, but may or may not include sources that are cited (or are
obvious, such as baptismal records, etc.) within the narrative or listing itself.
As with any compiled genealogical record, researchers should regard this information as leads and clues, and should verify all
data with independent research.
I welcome, and would be grateful for, any additions or corrections, especially with source citations.

He was a peddler, perhaps a soldier, and a fisherman. He emigrated with his brother, Mattys, and their families, on The
Rose Tree, embarking from the Netherlands on 15 March 1663. They both were from the village of Over Pelt in the Prince
Bishopric of Liege (now in Belgium) which was then an area of the Spanish Netherlands, but is today in the Belgian province
of Limburg. In Europe their family used the surname Lanen. Their father's name was Jan. So the two brothers were called
"Teunis Janszen Lanen van Pelt" and "Mattys Janszen Lanen van Pelt." They were noted on records of the voyage as “Theunis Jansen from the country of Liege, wife and six children, 18, 16, 14, 9, 7 and 2 years old” and Mattys was noted as “Thys
Jansen, from the country of Liege, and four children, 17, 15, 12 and 11 years old.”
Teunis purchased land in New Utrecht between 1675 and 1684. "Teunis Jansen Laenen van Peelt" is the full manner in
which the supposed elder of the two brothers signed his name to documents. He came with children aged 19, 16, 14, 9, 7 and
2 years of age.
His children took the surname Van Pelt.
On 20 April 1684, a child, Margarita, aged about 11 years, purchased as a servant at 10 years, without parents, was bp. at
Utrecht, Flatbush Ref Ch (witness: Grietje Jans wife of Teunis Pelt, Purchaser).
In an oath of Allegiance taken in 1687, Teunis and his sons Anthony and Wouter were listed as laving lived in New York
for 24 years, and Teunis’s son Aert was listed as native born.
On 11 Dec 1700, John Van Pelt and his wife Maria, Anthony Van Pelt and his wife Magdalena, Hendrick Van Pelt and his
