Notes

(Research):Jan Andresse (Andries?) Douw, alias Cuyper, was in America (1646-86) and, no doubt was related.^[4]

Douwe Jansz(oon) de Vries van Arentsvelt, which means Douwe, the son of Jans the Vries from Arentsfield, which was probably a village or town.

He was a master glazier. He moved from Harlingen to Leyden soon after 1600. Douwe Jansz was burgess of Leyden, in 1615, and was head of the glassmaker's guild there, possibly when the Mayflower, bearing the Pilgrim Fathers, was dispatched from Leyden to America in 1620. He had many apprentices and, at his death, owned many houses in Kort Rapenburg, a part of Leyden, east side.
