Biography
He was the son of Albert Albertszen, the immigrant. He was a farmer in Flatlands and his name occurs on the records of the Dutch Reformed Church there as a member in 1677, and as a deacon in 1687, in which year he took the oath of allegiance as a native . In 1690 he obtained a tract of land at St. John's on the Delaware River. He was lieutenant of militia in 1691 and a captain in 1700. He married Annetjie Roelefse Schenck at Flatlands July 1, 1633. She died 1688 and on June 6, 1691 he married Margrietje Van Sicklen. His will was dated Feb 20, 1696. He died after 1731, he signed his name Jan Albertsen Ter Hunen. He had three children, Albert, Roelof, Aucke
Birth
- No records have been found for Jan's birthdate, but early researchers speculated that he was the oldest son of Albert Albertszen.[1] More recent research, however, based on tax and marriage records, indicates Jan was the younger son, born about 1655-56.[2][3]
Land Transaction
- Sold land in Flatlands to Annetje's brother Marten Roelof Schenck at Oct 1687 for 40 pounds. NY Deeds printed in Long Island Sources[4]
Death
- Some earlier researchers have placed Jan's death about 1705, but tax and census records prove that he continued living in Flatlands for at least twenty-six more years. The error can be traced to the works of Teunis Bergen where he gave 1705 as a "supposed" date of death[5][6][3]
Burial
- Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church Cemetery, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York[7]

(1) "Some earlier researchers have placed Jan's death about 1705, but tax and census records prove that he continued living in Flatlands for at least twenty-six more years." He is thus said to have been living in 1731. (2 ) "Will dated 20 February 1696/97 John Albertse Terhuiennen of Flatlands. . . . Probate 9 Sep 1709.[11] Genealogical Gleanings from Book No. 2 of Conveyances, Brooklyn, Kings Co., N.Y.[12]" Neither of the cited sources of this man's will abstract (nos. 11 and 12) provides a probate date.
After seeing your comments, I checked the New Amsterdam church record (readily available online) and confirmed that the brother named Albert is the one who was baptized (as a singleton) on 13 Aug 1651, so I changed the date displayed on this profile to match an estimated date in the profile text. (You also could do this sort of thing.) The text indicates that Jan was the oldest son -- it would be very helpful if someone would add an explanation of how this is known, with a citation to the source. And some discussion of the disagreement in the literature (also with source citations) would be in order.
Thanks, Melona!
