Sometime during 1660 Jannettje made a voyage to Europe, for what purpose, and whether accompanied by her husband or not, is not known, but January 11, 1661, "Jannetje Barents, widow of Jan Guisthout" is entered on the passenger list of the ship "Golden Eagle" sailing for America. Her husband's death apparently left her without resources, for August 16, 1663, she filed a Petition for a writ empowering her to surrender all claim to her late husband's estate in favor of his creditors, mention being also made of her infant child, (Dutch MSS., Albany, Vol. 10, pg. 274) but September 6, 1663, the creditors waived all claims against her. Shortly after the settlement of this matter she married her second husband, Jan Petersen Bosch. In 1686 Jan Petersen Bosch and Jannetje Barents, his wife, were living on Smith Street, New York City, New York. (Memorial History, City of NY, Vol. 1, pg. 451) birth: 1.

| 1967 | [daniel_bratt_ancestors.FTW] Source: The Van Kleeck Family, Albert Van Kleeck, 1909 Source: An Account of Barent Baltus, the Progenitor of the Van Kleeck Family in the U.S. and Canada, Van Kleeck and Van Benthuysen, 1958, in NEHGS Library Source: D.A.R. Patriot Index, p.701 Baltus first wife, Maritje Ten Eyck, was buried in 1676 in Flatbush as "wife of Baltus Barentszen". Baltus moved first to Albany then to Bergen, New Jersey, and in 1687 was in Poughkeepsie where he built the first stone house and became one of the largest holder of real estate in Dutchess County, New York. Baltus was one of the first settlers of Poughkeepsie. His house was near what is now the corner of Mill and Vassar Streets. It had very thick walls which were pierced near the eves and gables with loop-holes for muskets to ward off any Indian attacks. It stood until 1835 when it was torn down. Adjoining the house was a family burial plot which remained until the house was demolished. During the Revolution the house was the scene of may patriotic meetings and the New York Legislature met there in 1788. Baltus represented Dutchess in the 16th Colonial Assembly, which sat from May 3 to July 21, 1715. He was elected to the 17th New York Colonial Assemblies, which sat, at intervals, for eleven years, 1716-1726, but served only from its beginning, June 5, 1716 to the spring of 1717, when he died. He was succeeded May 4, 1717, by Johannes Terbosch. About 1776 some of the descendants of Baltus emigrated to Canada and formed a settlement in Prescott County, Ontario, and named it Van Kleeck's Hill, but the great majority remained in Dutchess County and were loyal to the cause of freedom. Dutchess County from: " The Concise History of Dutchess County" Hope Farm Press & Bookshop 252 Main Street Saugerties NY 12477 914-246-3522 Although Dutchess was mapped out as a county in 1683, first legal residence in the county was not established until four years later under a land purchase from the Indians with confirmation of title by the Colonial Governor. Robert Sanders, an Englishman, who was an interpreter between the Indians and Europeans, and Myndert Harmense Van Den Bogaerdt, a Dutchman, purchased land embracing the present city of Poughkeepsie, which is the county seat of Dutchess. As of June 9, 1687, Sanders and Harmense ( for so the latter was known, rather than Van Den Bogaerdt) leased a large part of their holdings to Baltus Barents Van Kleeck and Hendrick Jans Ostrom. This leasehold also marked the beginning of permanent legal residence within the entire county, according to contemporary historians. Dutchess County was not named after the Dutch, but as a compliment to the Duchess of York. Her title was derived from the French word, duchesse, and was spelled with a "t" until 1755, in which year Dr. Johnson, the English lexicographer, dropped the "t," and also the final "e." Lands upon which Messrs. Van Kleeck and Ostrom agreed to settle were described by the Dutch as "lying in the Lange rack" and "called Minnisingh and Pochkeepsin." "Lange rack" was the broad expense of the Hudson River extending north and south of the approximate center of the shoreline of Poughkeepsie, a total distance of about ten miles. This straight section of the river was called "the Long Reach" by Robert Juett, mate of Henry Hudson's "Half Moon,"when Hudson sailed up the river, in 1609. "Minnisingh" was believed to refer to high ground in the Dutchess Turnpike east of the present Poughkeepsie, while "Pochkeepsin" was one of the numerous spellings of the county seat. This same colorful "Long Reach" of the Hudson contains the present four-mile course for the Poughkeepsie Intercollegiate Regatta, annual rowing event, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to Poughkeepsie's shores and Dutchess County. The course begins at Crum Elbow, not far from the river estate of President Roosevelt; it extends south to a point below the mid-Hudson vehicular bridge at Poughkeepsie. One now widely accepted explanation of the meaning of the name "Poughkeepsie" evolves from a story surrounding the first legal settlement in the community. Johannes Van Kleeck and Myndert Van Den Bogaerdt, sons of the original settlers, frequented a spot close to the present New York-Albany Post Road, less than two miles south of the present courthouse at Poughkeepsie. The Indians followed a trail to this same point, known by the two boys as Rust Plaetz, and meaning Resting Place. The Indians had another name for the spot, which was marked by a spring, and, so the story goes, surrounded by cat-tail reeds, a small stream issuing from the spring. They used three words to describe it: uppuqui-meaning lodge covering, the name of the cat-tail reed; ipis-little water; ing-meaning place; and freely translated, "The Reed-covered Lodge by the Little Water Place." The Dutch and the English settlers spelled the name phonetically, and it appeared in various combinations of letters. In the Van Kleeck-Ostrom lease it was "Pockkeepsin." A more familiar later form of the word was "Apokeepsing," resembling uppiquiipis-ing, until the "A" was dropped; and out of Poughkeepsing there came the accepted name, "Poughkeepsie." So much for the name of the principal city of Dutchess County. The date, June 9, 1687, is now recognized as not only marking the beginnings of permanent legal residence of white men in Poughkeepsie, but in the county as well. Prior to that time there were undoubtedly transient residents in the county, but there is no documentary evidence pointing to an earlier legal white residence than that at Poughkeepsie. Early local historians set forth that the first settler may have been Nicholas Emigh, or Eighmie, presumed to have arrived at Fishkill, southern Dutchess, at an early date. These historians conceded that authorities differed as to the exact date of settlement, although one writer placed Eighmie in the county as early as 1682. It remained for the late Helen Wilkinson Reynolds, careful historian of the modern period, to lay before the public the complete story of the Van Kleeck-Ostrom lease and its significance as fixing the time of the first legal white residence at Poughkeepsie. To be sure, early settlements in both Fishkill, to the south of Poughkeepsie, and Rhinebeck, to the north, were contemporaneous with that in the present county seat. Peter Pieterse Lassen, an ancestor of the late historian, Benson J. Lossing, is known to have been living at the mouth of Jan Casper's kill in 1688. In 1700, Hendrick Kip built a house in Rhinecliff (town of Rhinebeck). All of the early settlers lived close to the river; it was not until the early part of the eighteenth century that the thickly wooded interior of the county was opened to home sites. birth: 1.

He was the son of Osbern the seneschal, one of William's guardians during his minority, who had been murdered by the young duke's unruly barons. Fitz Osbern founded a monastery at Lire about 1042. He became seneschal to the duke, and urged on the plans for the invasion of England. At the conquest he received the earldom of Hereford with the special duty of pushing into Wales. During William's absence in 1067, English affairs were left in the hands of Fitz Osbern and of Odo, bishop of Bayeux. Fitz Osbern also acted as William's lieutenant during the rebellions of 1069...was one of the feudal lords of the Welsh marches, and built several castles for the defense of the border. In 1070 William sent him to assist Queen Matilda in the government of Normandy. But Richilde, widow of Baldwin VI of Flanders, having offered to marry him if he would protect her son Arnulf against Robert the Frisian, Fitz Osbern accepted the proposal and joined Richilde in Flanders. He was killed, fighting against Robert, near Cassel, in 1071." -Encycl. Brit.,'56, 9:337. He was created Earl of Hereford in 1067. Also see "Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co, 1994), pp. 41-42.
