Jannetje Jans

Oregon1850 — 16 Sep 2004 3:52:33 GMT

Our family history tells that Jannetje's second marriage (she was a widow) was to Laurens. She brought with her into that marriage the land that Trinity Church in lower Manhattan sits on. The records of their marriage are in The Old Dutch Church, NYC. The addition of VanBuskirk by Laurens may have occurred as they moved further north in what is now Manhattan but was then "the woods". The other story is that when he first came to America, Laurens was a turner (lathe worker) by trade and may have added Van Buskirk which means "turner" to become more "Dutch". This may have occurred as the English took over New York. The VanBuskirks were instrumental in laying out the platte's of land which is now Hackensack, NJ. There is a Van Buskirk Point and Cemetary in that area, I've been told. My line of the family comes directly from Laurens and Jannetje through at least 10 generations. We came to Oregon in 1848 via The Oregon Trail. (Hendersons, VanBuskirks, Whistlers) and originally settled the area near Amity, Oregon. My great-grandmother was Barbry Whistler (her mother was Sarah VanBuskirk . I do have a very good geneology of the direct lineage up to my grandfather. I have a copy of a letter written by a cousin, Oriann VanBuskirk, 1853 Knox County Ohio to her cousin who had just arrived in Oregon Country.

Anneke Jans's children?

lenopedrotti — 29 Aug 2006 9:47:11 GMT

I have traced my ancestry back to Anneke (or Annetje) Jans. She is the daughter of Wolfert Webber, granddaughter of Prince William the Silent of Orange-Nassau, and wife of Roeloff Jans and Everardus Bogardus. Her daughter that is in my ancestral line was listed on One World Tree as Jaepe Jans, but looking at websites about Anneke, Jaepe Jans has not been listed as one of her and Roeloff's children. Does anyone have any information?

Anneke Jans estate "borrowed Bible"

Rodney_Jewett — 8 May 2006 12:48:58 GMT

I ran across this researching the DuBois family of Ingham/Jackson Counties Michigan in a 1921 local history book"..

"Gerrit Dubois married Margretge Elmendorf, one of the fourth generation from Anneke Jans."...

"The old family [DuBois] Bible was loaned to a representative of the Anneke Jans estate to be used as proof in certain matters and was never returned, nor any trace of it found, though it would have been an invaluable record."

Anyone know if this Bible ever re-appeared?

The Sprague Advocate, Sprague, Lincoln County, Washington, Oct. 12, 1950.

Rev. Carl Jans, for many years a circuit rider for the German Methodist Church, passed away at his home in Edwall, Washington last Wednesday, October 4, at the age of 89.

Starting in 1888, Rev. Jans, as a circuit rider for the German Methodist church covered a wide territory from Douglas to Whitman county on horseback with only an Indian trail to follow., He was married in 1892 in Spokane to Anna Mielke, the daughter of pioneer family who homesteaded in the Sassin district, after coming there in 1883 from Minnesota on the first Northern Pacific train over the Rocky Mountains..

Over a period of 23 years in the North Pacific German M. E. conference, appointments took them to many parts of Oregon and Washington including Harrington, Rosalia, Walla Walla, Ritzville, Portland, Salem and Tacoma, as well as others.

They later moved to a farm north of Sprague and in 1920 retired to their present home in Edwall.

Rev. Jans was born in March 15, 1861 in Hamburg, Germany. He is survived by his wife Anna; two daughters, Mrs. W. R. Miller and Mrs. G. W. Olson, both of Spokane; four sons, Dr. Detlaff of Forest Grove, Oregon, Henry, Fred and Charles all of Edwall, and five grandchildren.

I'm not related to this family.
