Dear Geneen, You will find these families on page 130 of Carl Boyer III's
"Ship Passenger Lists, New York and New Jersey, 1600-1825". They have
also been reprinted elsewhere. Here are the listings of the two VAN PELT
families:

"Teunis Jansen, from the country of Liege, wife and six children, 18, 16,
14, 9, 7, and 2 years old."

and Teunis' brother's family:

"Thys Jansen, from the country of Liege, and four children, 17, 15, 13,
and 11 years old."

You appear to be taking the details of this family from A. Van Doren
Honeyman's account published in volume 2 of his "Somerset County
Historical Quarterly" (April 1913).

Some of his information is in error, e.g. the named of Mattys Janszen
Lanen Van Pelt's first wife -- the one who died on the voyage and was
buried at Texel -- was NOT "Tryntje" (as Honeyman had speculated) but
Maryken Gisberts. The name "Gisbert" came into the Lane family when
Mattys Jansen and Maryken Gisberts named their son in honor of his
maternal grandfather.

The date of Mattys' marriage was 1 Nov 1640 in the village of Tuil,
Gelderland Province, The Netherlands:

"Mattijs Pelt, soldier under Captain De Swart, and Maryken Gijberts, young
daughter of Buermalsen."

I am forwarding the message that I sent to you and the list on December
6th last year as I had already commented on the use of patronymics at that
time.

It may be well to remember that the surname GIBERSON could derive from
*any* man with the given name Gisbert/Gilbert. The possibilities are not
limited to the Lanen Van Pelt families.

Cheers! Dorothy

Dear Geneen, Many Dutch families did not always use surnames that were
"inherited" in each generation. In earlier times they used the patronymic
naming system in which a child took his or her father's first name --
given name -- in its possessive form. For example, say a man was named
Cornelis Pieterszen. You would know immediately that Cornelis' father's
first name was "Pieter". Let us say that Cornelis had a daughter Sara and
a son Jan. Sara would be called "Sara Cornelis" and Jan would be called
"Jan Corneliszen".

And now to your specific case. In 1663 on the ship "The Rosetree" two
brothers came to New Netherland with their families. They came from the
village of Over Pelt in the Prince Bishopric of Liege (now in Belgium).
In Europe their family used the surname Lanen. Their father's name was
Jan. So the two brothers were called "Teunis Janszen Lanen van Pelt" and
"Mattys Janszen Lanen van Pelt". The first wife of Mattys was a woman
named "Maryken Guisberts" (Mary, the daughter of Gilbert -- giving the
Dutch names their English equivalents). Gisbert had been born on 2 Dec
1646 in the village of Tuil, Gelderland Province, of the Netherlands, and
he was the eldest child of Mattys and Maryken.

In the New World Gisbert Tyssen Lanen -- "Tys" is the nickname of his
father's name, Mattys -- married Jannetje Adriaens Smith. (The Smith
family had come to America on the same ship, "The Rosetree", in 1663.)
Gisbert and Jannetje moved to New Jersey where most of their descendants
adopted the surname LANE. Their sons would have had the patronymic
"Gisbertson".

Most of the descendants of Mattys' brother, Teunis Janszen Lanen Van Pelt,
adopted the surname VAN PELT. So Lanes and Van Pelts are cousins.

2306. Michael Powell (e) was born on 23 Dec 1605 in England. He died on 23 Jan 1672/1673 in Boston, Massachusettes. He married Abigail Bedle about 1630 in England.

Source for birth: Title: Hulet Quarterly Vol 6

Michael was born in England c1605. Abigail, daughter of Samuel and Abigail (Collins) Bedle, was baptized on March 1, 1608, Wolverston, Suffolk, England. They were married about 1630 in England. Michael, Abigail and their two oldest daughters immigrated to Massachusetts in 1639 and purchased a lot from Timothy Dalton at Dedham. Timothy had been a minister at Wolverston from 1618 until 1636 and probably knew Michael and Abigail. Michael was licensed on May 6, 1646, to open an "ordinary", which was a small tavern. This is the first recorded tavern in Dedham. In 1648 Michael moved to Boston after apparently selling his tavern to Joshua Fisher. At Boston Michael became deeply involved with the Old North Church. He wanted to become a minister, but was refused due to lack of education. Therefore, he served as a lay preacher and elder. Michael died prior to March 20, 1673/73, Boston. Abigail died between March 14 and April 21, 1677. [Sources: Michael Powell of Dedham and Boston by Robert C. Anderson, NEHGR July 1977; A History of Dedham, Massachusetts by Frank Smith] History of Michael Powell by Randall S. Hulet (Hulet Quarterly Vol 6) His name first appears on the records in New England as one who among others on August 18, 1636, signed the covenant sent to the General Court for an application for a town at Dedham, Norfolk, Mass., which is a few miles southeast of Boston. Ancestral File says Michael was born December 28, 1605, Romford, Essex, England and died January 28, 1673 with burial on January 31. It also give April 28, 1679 as a death date for Abigail. Ancestral File give three additional children named Margaret (b. before 1838, b. c1838, b. June 6, 1649) If this is correct, then the Margaret who married Anthony Howard must have been born in 1649)
