Family

Children

Jan Classen DeWitt d. 1699
Tialie DeWitt

     Claes Janz DeWitt was skipper of the ship 'De Liefde', which sailed from Amsterdam to New York in 1660.¹
     NOTE: Tjerck was listed as son of Claes Jansz DeWitt, but that seems unlikely, as their estimated birth years are about the same. Bergen Families (DeWitt File) does not have parents for Tjerck, nor does it have a Claes, son of Jan DeWitt. Other sources had a Tjerck Claessen as son of Jan DeWitt, but that also seems unlikely, as Tjerck Claessen would be a son of Claes!^2,3
     Claes' children listed here cannot be his children, as their estimated dates are almost identical to those of Claes. There seems to be lots of confusion. See also: "Tierck Clafsen DeWitt and Descendants of His Son Luycas DeWitt," by Vona DeWitt Smith (Victoria, Canada, 2004), pg. 12 and 17.³ Name variation: Capt. Claes DeWitt.¹
