1. The book, “A history of the Camfield family: with special emphasis on the descendants of John Freeman Camfield and Margaret Singleton Camfield…,” by Ernest Ross Camfield (Privately printed; 1999), “THE FAMILY OF LONGSTREET AND ITS TIES WITH THE CAMFIELD'S,” pp. 243-44:
“Dirck Stoffels Langestraet
Born: Netherlands
Came to America in 1657
Married: Catharina Van Lieuwen
Died: after 1698 in New Jersey
Children:
-Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet
-Claasje Dircksen Langestraet (She was born about 1672, and married Abraham Lott of Jamaica)
-Adrian Dircksen Langestraet (He was baptized 16 September 1677, and married Christina Janse in 1707, he resided in New Jersey)
-Richard Dircksen Langestraet (He was born 1680)
-Daughter (name unknown) (She married Samuel Osborne)
-Samuel Dircksen Langestraet (Married Barbara Antonides)
Dirck Stoffels Langestraet immigrated to New Netherlands in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Peter Stuyvesant as Director of the Province, two years after the erection of the Church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the Province by Nicholls. Dirck Stoffels Langestraet settled in the area known as the Flatlands, (Amersfoort); and this fact indicates that since this particular village was of less consequence than either Flatbush, (only three miles away), or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited the town came, renders it very possible that the Langestraet's came from Utrecht. Dirck, or "Richard" in the English language, was in 1677 a member in good standing of the Flatlands Church. He may have been a member of this church for many years, however the church records for Flatbush didn't begin until 1677.
In September of 1687, thirteen years after the first cession of the Province to England, there was a general administration of the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown to be made by all Dutch people; Dirck took that oath at the Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693 and on a census roll in 1698. After this his name appears no more on the Long Island records; and it is believed that he moved into New Jersey. In his younger manhood, but after coming to the Province he had married Catharina Van Lieuwen; afterward in his older age, on 13 February 1690 he married a second time to Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. A prenuptial agreement was made with his second wife and is on file in the town records of Gravesend; in this agreement, reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet. He left land that he had purchased in Shrewsbury, New Jersey to his son Richard. He had no children by his second marriage. (Source: THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF NEW JERSEY)”
2. The book “This old Monmouth of ours: history, tradition, biography, genealogy, and other anecdotes related to Monmouth County, New Jersey,” by William S. Hornor (Cottonport, Louisiana: Polyanthos, 1974) “The Longstreet (Langstraat Family),” pp. 127-28:
“The Longstreet Family.
This substantial family springs from THEOPHILUS LANGSTRAAT (1), of Holland, through a son, Dirck, (2), who came to America in 1657. The Anglicised form of the name sufficiently indicates its original meaning and derivation.
DIRCK STOFFELSE LANGSTRAAT (2), son of Theophilus (or Stoffel) (1), came to America in 1657, eventually settling in Shrewsbury Township. (It may be noted here that among the Dutch the syllables, s, se, pe, and sometimes, te were used to indicate the paternity of the individuals to whom they were assigned, apparently as middle-names. Often the original last names, were dropped and only the "middle-name" retained. Thus we have the families of Hendricks, Laen, Giberson, and Tysen, all proceeding from an original (probably VanPelt), through several brothers who were respectively christened Hendrick, Laen, Gilbert, and Matthias, or Tice.) Dirck Longstreet married first, Catherine VanSiddock, and, secondly, Johannah Havens, widow of Johannis Holshart. His children were: Richard (3), of Shrewsbury; Adrien (or Aaron,) (4); Theophilus (or Stoffle), (5); Samuel (6); and, Classje (7)
ADRIEN, or AARON. (4), son of Dirck (2), was born in 1677 and died in 1728. He was a cordwainer, and lived in Freehold Township. He married, in 1707, Christina (or Stanchke) Janse. Their children were: John (8); Derrick (9); Stoffle (10); Katherine (11); Nelly (12); Winifred (13); Maria (14); Arinche (15), and, one other child (16), perhaps Christopher, who died in 1758 leaving children, Court (91), and Christine (92), both under age at the death of their father. Of these last Christine is said to have married John Saunders, from whom she was divorced by Legislative Enactment in 1780.
THEOPHILIS (OR STOFFLE) (5), son of Dirck (2), was born in Flatlands, Long Island, and died on his farm on the Manasquan River, in New Jersey, about 1741. He married Moyka, daughter of Gilbert Lane. She died about 1753. Moyka is, I think, the equivalent of the English Mercy. Their children were: Richard (17), of Squan, whose children are said to have been Derrick (42), born September 1745, and Anne (43), born June 1, 1748; Gilbert (18); Aury (19); Stoffel (20); Yonica (21); Catherine (22), who is supposed to have married William Chamberlain Jr.; Mary or Maria, (23), who married William, son of Daniel and Catherine Hendrickson; Sarah (24); Moika (25), who married and had children: and, Anne (26).
GILBERT LONGSTREET (18), son of Stoffel (5), lived at Squan, where he died in 1756 or 1758. His wife is supposed to have been Rachel, daughter of Garret and Nelly (Voorhees) Schenck, who married, secondly, Jacobus VanDorn. Their children were: Rachel (44), who died in 1765, having married William VanDorn, who married secondly, Mary Hunt; Garret (45), of Squan; Gilbert (46); Moyca (47); Nely (48); Jane, or Ouicha (49), married John Lake; and, Elizabeth (50).
AURY (OR AARON) LONGSTREET (19), son of Stoffle (5), was of Rocky Hill, near Princeton. One authority says that he married Catherine, daughter of Samuel Osborne, of Squan, who died before 1759. Another, makes her to have married John Longstreet. The name of his wife needs confirmation, as do those of his children, which have been given as: Moyka (51); Aaron (51-1/2); Richard (51-1/2); and, Lydia (52), bp. 6-10-1759.
STOFFLE LONGSTREET (20), son of Stoffle (5), was baptised 12-25-1713, and died 1784. He is said to have married Abagail, daughter of Thomas and Patience Woolley, who was born 3-17-1717, and to have been father of at least one child, Samuel, (41-1/2), who died 12-21-1829, at the age of 94.”
2. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D16-D17:
“DIRCK STOFFELS LANGESTRAET immigrated in 1657, twelve years after the appointment of Stuyvesant as Director of the province, two years after the erection of the church at Flatbush, and seven years before the seizure of the province by Nicholls. He settled at Flatlands (Amersfoort); and this fact, since the village was of less consequence than either Flatbush (only three miles may) or Brooklyn, and was named for a town in Utrecht, from which those who inhabited and named it presumably came, renders it probable that Langestraets were from Utrecht. However that may be, Dirck (or Richard, in the English) was in 1677, a member of the Flatlands church, sitting under the ministry of the Rev. Mr. Zuuren. He may have been for years before that an active member of the church, and probably was; for it must be remembered that the lists in the Flatbush record begin with the year 1677. In 1687, in September, thirteen years after the first cession of the province to England, there was a general administration of an oath of allegiance to the British Crown to all of the Dutch people; and with the others, Dirck took that oath at Flatlands. He appears again on an assessment roll of that village for the year 1693, and on a census roll of 1698. After this his name occurs no more on the Long Island records and it is thought that he moved to Monmouth county, New Jersey.
In his younger manhood, but after his arrival in this province, he married CATHARINA VAN LIEUWEN; afterward, in his older age, some time before, but not far from, February 13, 1690, he married Johanna Havens, widow of Johannis Holsaert. An ante-nuptial agreement made with this second wife is still to be found in the town records of Gravesend; and in it reference is made to his son Stoffel Dircksen. At an early period, date now unknown, he had bought land at Shrewsbury in New Jersey, which he devised by his will to his son Richard. By his first wife Catherina, he had issue as follows:
(1) Stoffel Dircksen, of whom hereafter.
(2) Claasje Dircksen, born about 1672 and who married Abraham Lott, of Jamaica.
(3) Adrian, baptised September 16, 1677. (Adrian; bapt. Sept. 16, 1677; married Christina Janse 1707. On asst. roll of Flatlands 1693, and census of 1698; owned land in Gravesend; moved to Freehold, N. J., and deacon there 1721; died in 1728; wife died after 1726.

4. “A Longstreet Family History,” by Rupert James Longstreet (DeLand, Fla., 1960), available on FHL film 2056005 item 3 or online at :
“ADRIAN (AARON) LANGESTRAET[1], bp. 9-16-1677, d. 1728, m. Christine Janse.[2] states that he was "on the assessment roll of Flatlands, L.I. in the census of 1698; deacon of the Freehold, New Jersey Dutch Reformed Church, 1721, to which place he had removed. Issue all baptized in Marlboro, NJ" i.e. in the Dutch Reformed Church of the Navesink, serving the area of Freehold, Middleton, Holmdel, Marlboro, etc., the "Old Brick Church".
Adrian's will (#397M) dated 3-3-1727, refers to his wife Styntje (Christina). Ellis [3] gives the date of marriage as 1707. The will is signed "Aaron". The descendants who contributed data to Lee [4] reported that Adrian was a cordswainer and had a farm near Holmdel (Freehold) which is doubtless the present "Longstreet Farm", long held by members of the family but now in other hands. Of the children mentioned in the will, only four are recorded as baptized at Marlboro (these are marked with an asterisk (*) below.)
