Feb., 1678, Jannetje Joris Van Aelst from Mispadt ; had ch. bap in New York as follows : I. CORNELIS, bap. 28 April, 1680 ; II. JORIS, bap. 23 March, 1684; III. PIETER, bap. 10 April, 1687 ; IV. PIETER, bap. 23 March, 1692. JOHN also had ch. bap. in N. Y .: JOHN, bap. 14 Jan., 1691. This Holland family may be the same as the Amwell or German Valley family, because the latter in some cases spelled their name in the same way. Yet, on the other hand, some of the latter family had German family bibles, which would seem to indicate a German origin.

VAN ATTAS OF KINGSTON, N. Y.
JACOB JANSE [Jacob, the son of John] VAN ETTEN, of Kingston, N. Y., is the first of the name that can be found on the records. He prob. came from Etten, a village in the province of Brabant, Holland, 6 m. W. S. W. from Breda. He m. Annetie Gelvins (dau. of Adrian, or Ari, Gelvins), the record of his marriage [Kingston records] is as follows : JACOB JANSEN, young man. of Etten in Brabrant, and ANNETJE ARIANS. of Amsterdam. deserted wife of Aaert Pietersen Tack both residing here [in Wiltwyck, now Kingston], 11 January, 1665. The name of his wife is written in several ways. Annetje Adriantse (Adriandr, Arians), Annetje Gelvins, Annetje Adriaentse Kanı. Her father's first name was therefore Adrian and his last name Gelvins or Kam. It seems probable that the name Ari or Aaron arose from Arian, though that would more properly be another form of Adrian. Jacob Janse had ch .: I. ADRIAEN, bap. 26 June, 1670 ; II. HEILTIE, bap. 21 April, 1679 ; III. EMANUEL, bap. 27 Dec., 1681 ; prob. rem. to New Jersey (see below) ; IV. TIETIE, bap. 24 Feb., 1694 ; V. JACOBUS, bap. 2 May, 1686 ; VI.
