      1. 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.

      (6) Samuel (supposed) married Barbara Antonides.”
