BURHANS, Jan Jacobsen
16 April 1663: Arrives in America on the ship Bonte Koe (Spotted Cow), evidently with a brother Barent Burhans. Colonial Manuscripts in Albany show a debt for Barent Burhans of 39 florins for passage and board on the Bonte Koe arriving 16 April 1663. The account was never settled and his name never appears on any records suggesting that he died in route or shortly after. Jan Burhans paid his account for passage on the Bonte Koe 17 October 1663. Jan married Helena TRAPHAGEN, daughter of Willem Jansen TRAPHAGEN and Jannetje Claesen GROEVNIS, in 1665-1675 in Kingston, Ulster Co., NY. (Helena TRAPHAGEN was born about 1656 in New Amsterdam, Manhatten, NY and died in May 1732 in Brabant, Ultster Co., NY.) |
