Jannetjen Hoogteeling (bef. 1713 - 1792)

Since the forefather of this line only goes back to Jan Willemsen Houghtaling (1625 - 1702) then it only makes sense to surmise that his surname was Willemsen or Willemse, which is a common Dutch surname.

The following is an excerpt from: https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/houghtaling/449/ By Ronald Houghtelin January 8, 2002 "I have researched and searched this line for over 20 years and have it down pretty complete. Im still working on it, but no one has ever came up with this name in Holland, including Conne U, because Jan Willemse and Barbara Jans came over in the St Baptist with 2 boys in 1661 from the Loosdredt and landed in new Neatherlands and soon moved up the Hudson River to Esopus which is now Kingston NY.I do not believe that this name ever existed in Holland altho this man did come from the Loosdredt in Holland and they were both very Dutch. Hendrick Willemse was reported killed by the Indian raids in one of the attacks on the village of Esopus (Wiltwick)and I believe he was one of the two son's f Jan Willemse and Barbara Jans. Willemse Janse Hooghteeling was his other son and is the protege of all the descendants after Jan Willemse and Barbara Jans Houghteylingh. Now Jan Willemse soon became the treasurer of the village of Esopus and the Dutch Reform Church Treasurer. In Dutch "Treaurer" was spelled Hooghteylingh. He took the title for his surname when the British took over New Netherlands in 1664 The British required all of the Dutch in New Netherland to take a last name or Sur name. Jan Willemse became Jan Willemse Hooghteylingh and forever more was passed on down to his children. "Hoog" which means "High" in Dutch was pronounced "hoe" in Dutch. About 1800 the "Hoog" was beginning to changed to "Hough" the English version of "High" and pronounced "huff" The English sound.This is very true in New York. The "teylingh" is the Dutch version of "Teller" like as the bank teller. The "High Teller" was spelled "Hooghteylingh" which very quickly changed to "Hoogteeling" and some other variations."

So this line is probably decended from the Williemse or Williemsen family.

The following is an excerpt from: http://www.stephentowngenealogy.com/houghtlingfamily.html By Dody White "The Houghtaling families in America stem from two immigrants to New York State in the mid-seventeenth century, both of Dutch origin, but probably unrelated: Jan Willemsen Houghtaling of Kingston, Ulster County and Mathys Coenradt Houghtaling of Coxsackie, Greene County.( Our family is descended from Mathys.) Jan's descendants were sometimes recorded with the prefix "van" with indicates that Houghtaling was a place name. Cursory research in Holland shows the name appearing in the seventeenth century records of the province of Zuid-Holland as "van Hoogteijlingen". Mathys Coenradt and his descendants never used the "van". It is believed that he did not have a surname in Holland, but that the adopted the name Houghtaling about 1675, possibly twenty years after his arrival in America. In 1667 at Wiltwyck (Kingston) he was exposed to this surname when he appeared in court before Jan Willemsen Houghtaling, one of its magistrates, who had been using the surname as early as 1661. The fifty or more variations in spelling, ranging from Hogdielen to Hultailen to Hoochtelink, represent a good example of phonetic recordings by Dutch, German and English clerks and ministers as this name became Anglicized and evolved into the present forms of Houghtaling, Hotaling, and Hotelling."
