NOTES
1). bobspu.ged In 1637, a young man, Jan Jansen, left Ditmarschen and voyaged with a shipload of neighbors and friends to New Amsterdam in search of opportunity and freedom. He located on farm land on Dutch kills at Mespeth, Queens Co., Long Island in an area that is now within the borough of Queens, New York City. Jan Jansen, the progenitor of the Ditmars family in the U. S. , was from Ditmarschen in Holstein. He was known as Jan Jansen Platneus. He had land in New Amsterdam, in 1643 or earlier. On March 23, 1647,he obtained a patent for 58 acres of land. Sometime before 1650 he sold this lan to Joris Stevenson. He died before 1650. His Widow, Neeltie Douwes, married January 9, 1650, Lovis Jorrison. This sentence seems to be in error. RAS Source Richard Cline Mar 1998
