VAN WINCKEL-VAN WINKEL-VAN WINKLE.
This name is derived from winkel, a corner, square, shop. Winkelier was a shopkeeper. The ancestor was a shop or store- keeper. Its present orthography is comparatively modern. The family settled in Harsimus shortly after their arrival in this country. They came from Middleburgh, the capital of Zealand, one of the United Provinces. The city was on the island Wal- cheren, about forty miles S.W. of Rotterdam, well built and populous, with a fine harbor and a profitable trade.
I have not ascertained the names of the parents of the three boys and two girls who seem to have made up this family. Their names were Jacob, Waling, Symon, Annetje and Grietje : their patronymic being Jacobse-children of Jacob. Jacob was the founder of the family in the county of Hudson. Waling and Symon were of the company from Bergen who, in 1679, pur-

" We, burgomasters, schepens and counsellors of the city of Wagening, declare by these presents that there appeared before us Hendrick Elissen and Jordiz 'Spiers, citizens of this city, at the request of Gerrit Gerritsen and Annetje Hermansse, his wife. They have testified and certified, as they do by these presents. that they have good knowledge of the above named Gerrit Ger- ritsen and Annetje Hermansse, his wife, as to their life and con- versation, and that they have always been considered and es- teemed as pions and honest people, and that no complaint of any evil or disorderly conduct has ever reached their ears ; on the contrary. they have always led qniet, pions and honest lives, as it becomes pious and honest persons. They especially testify that they govern their family well, and bring up their children in the fear of God, and in all modesty and respectability.
" As the above named persons have resolved to remove and proceed to New Netherland, in order to find greater convenience, they give this attestation, grounded on their knowledge of them, having known them intimately, and having been in continnal in- tercourse with them for many years, living in the same neighbor- hood.
" In testimony of the truth, we, the burgomasters of the city. have caused the private seal of the city to be hereto affixed.
