Full text of this will - names Rebecca and two his named children Pieter and John. Exe. his widow Rebecca, brother John Staats and "cuzen" John Covenhoven [14]

A similar abstract of a (but for his son?)

Although a number of sites show this Pieter Staats as being the Pieter Staats that died in Brooklyn in Kings County, New York in 1761 (will 4 October 1760, and probated 2 September 1761) with a wife named Rebecca, I do not believe this is accurate. The will of the Pieter Staats that died in 1761 specifically refers to his having a brother named John. The Pieter Stats that married Lammetje Van Vecten did not have a brother named John. This Pieter Staats did have a son named Pieter, however, who was christened at New Utrecht in Kings County in 1721 who did have a brother named John. I believe this is the Pieter who died at Brooklyn in 1761.

Entered link to church record for 1712 marriage. Do not see an entry for a 2nd to a Rebecca Ditmars who could be Ditmars-20

Rebecca is shown a spouse of Peter Staats in (unsourced) ancestry tree https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/794953/person/1925746303/facts?ssrc=

OK, we have a secondary source published in 1921 (cited here as "North American Family Histories," but it is actually Genealogy of the Staats Family, by Harold Staats) that identifies his parents, but what was that author's evidence for that identification?

Disconnecting him from Staats-19 and Jans-57 as parents; they are his grandparents and he's the son of their son Pieter.
