- "Laurent DeCamp of New Utrecht, N.Y., 1664", by George Austin Morrison, Jr., published by Joel Munsell's Sons, Albany, NY: 1900.:
NOTE.- (A.) One Gerrit Jansen Van Campen and Machtelt Stoffels, his wife, had a child Jan, baptized at Kingston, N. Y., on 18 April 1661. Witnesses: Jacob Jansen Van Campen; (undoubtedly a brother), Juriaen Westvaal, Marytjen Hansen, and Tryntje Tyssen Bos. From this child Jan sprang all the Kingston, N. Y., and Somerville, N. J. families of "Van Campen" descendants of which settled in Schawangunk, Minisink, and Delaware Water Gap. On 11th June 1667 one Jan Smedes sued Gerrit van Campen in the New Amsterdam Mayors Court and on 17th December 1667 Bartholomew van den Schol sued him in the same court. One Gerrit Jansen Van Campen bought a house and lot at Flushing, N. Y., of Peter Jansen Schol on 27 November 1688 (Liber C. page 45 Flushing Register Office). It seems a fair assumption to regard this Gerrit Jansen Van Campen of Kingston, New York, and Flushing as one and the same person, and that Jacob Jansen Van Campen, who was a witness at the baptism at Kingston, 1661, was probably a brother.
(B.) There was a Gerrit Janzen Van Campen, who had a wife Aeltje Pieter Lamberts, and a child Cornelia, baptized at N. Y. Dutch Church on 1st January 1655. Witness Emmetle Van der Sluys. The name of the witness inclines one to believe that Gerrit Janzen Van Campen was closely related to the following party.
(C.) Lambert Hendrickson Van Campen in 1664 took the oath of allegiance at New Amsterdam, and was assessed later as living in "Marketfield Alley." He and his wife Barbetje Barents, had a child Hendrick, baptized in N. Y. Dutch Church, 9 November 1661. Witness: Marritie Van der Sluys.
(D.) One Jan Martyn Van Campen had a child Johannis, baptized in N. Y. Dutch Church, 4 April 1660. Witnesses: Nicasius de Sille and housewife, and Pieter Montfort. This man was in command of a privateer and is mentioned in N. Y. Colonial records.
