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 VAN LAER AND ITS CONNECTIONS WITH THE LANEN VAN PELTS GENERATION,” p. 272: “Aryan (Adrian) Van Lear Aryan Van Lear is the first of this family of whom anything is known.

The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), p. D-15: “Aryan (or Adrian) Van Laer, is the first of this family of whom anything is known. He took the oath of allegiance to the English, at New York in 1664. In April 1666, he bought of Isaac Claesen two double building-lots in Amersfoort (Flatbush), as per page 58 of Liber D. of Flatbush records. Owned property in New York in 1672. On March 1, 1680-81, he bought of Simon Romeyn a house and lot in Flatbush, as per page 47 of Liber A. of Flatbush Records. His name appears on the assessment rolls of Brooklyn in 1683. Married 1st. Abigail, daughter of Abram Isaacsen Verplanck; and 2nd., on the 28th. of April, 1672, Luvtie Schouen, widow. Issue, so far as known. (1) Jannetje, mar. Lanen van Pelt. (2) Gerret. baptised Nov. 21, 1669, in New York. JANNETJE ARYANS (or Adriens) VAN LAER must have been born about 1655, since she was certainly married in 1677, as shown by the New Utrecht Church list, and her husband was born in 1652. She was married about 1675; and must have lived until so late as 1690, as one of her children was baptized in 1689. As she had nine children, now known, she probably lived into the eighteenth century.”
