      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 LANEN VAN PELT AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE LONGSTREETS,” pp. 266-68:
      “(The connection of [the Longstreet] family comes entirely through the marriage of Stoffel Dircksen Langestraet with Moica)
      Matthys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt
      Born in the Netherlands
      Married twice, 1st wife is unknown to us; 2nd wife Adrientje Hendricks
      Died in late 1676 or 1677 in New Utrecht
      His name means "Matthias, son of John Lane of Peel." He was generally called "Thys Jansen," and he signed his name as "Thys Jansen Lanen Van Pelt." He immigrated along with his brother, Teunis Jansen Lanen Van Pelt from Liege in 1663. His wife died in the passage, but he safely brought over four children. His coming, as already mentioned in other sections was in the year preceding the seizure of the Providence by the English; and it was 14 years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht.
      Coming from Liege, Belgium, it is a matter of strictly speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into a "new wilderness" and a New World. The Dutch didn't come to this country because of religious persecution, but they were a trading nation and agricultural people, so they came to "trade" as well as to obtain broad acres of freehold lands. With the Walloons however this was not the case. We can wonder what made these two brothers come with their wives and a total often children, but it would strictly be a guess.
      Matthys settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears of the Assessment Rolls of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second time to Adrientje Hendricks. (She remarried to Cornelius Wynhard after Matthys' death.) Since Matthys' name is not included in the list of the Congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow remarried in 1683, it is most probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children were from his first marriage; the seven younger children were from his second marriage.

      2. The book “Genealogy of the Family of Longstreet with Its Related Families…,” by Edward Mayes (Tuttle Antiquarian Books, Inc., Rutland, VT; 1989?), pp. D37-D39:
      “MATTHYS JANSEN LANEN VAN PELT that is Matthias the son of John, was generally called Thys Jansen, and signed his own name as "Thys Jansen Van Pelt." He immigrated, along with his brother, Tennis Jansen, from Liege, in 1663. His wife died on the passage: but he brought over safely four children. His coming, as already remarked, was only in the year before the seizure of the province by the English; but it was fourteen years prior to the organization of the congregation at New Utrecht, of which account was given.
      Coming from Liege, and being a Walloon, it is matter for interesting speculation as to what motives drove him and his brother into the wilderness and a new world. The Dutch did not come to this country, like the Puritans, forced, by religious persecution: for at home the Protestant religion was established triumphantly. But they were a trading nation, and they came to trade; they were also an agricultural people, and they came to acquire broad acres of freehold, which there was little chance to get at home. With the Walloons, however, it was not so. The settlement of 1625, known to have been moved by aspiration after spiritual freedom, at Wallabout, will be remembered. They were under Spanish dominion, the most terrible of fanaticisms. But after all, while we may wonder, we cannot tell what brought over the two brothers, with their wives and ten children.
      Matthvs settled in New Utrecht, and his name appears on the assessment rails of that village for the years 1675 and 1676. He married a second wife, Adrientje Hendricks, who after his death married Cornelis Wynhard. Since his name is not included in the list of the congregation of New Utrecht for 1677, and his widow married Wynhard in 1683, it is probable that he died in the latter part of 1676 or early in 1677. His four oldest children, were by the first marriage; the seven youngest by the second. They are as follows:
      (1) Anthoine, or Anthony; born in 1646, and came over with his father. Resided in New Utrecht in 1693.
      (2) Teuntje (or Tryntje) Thyssen; born in 1648, married Jan Janse Van Dyck, member of N. Ut. Church in 1680. Married May 9, 1673, lived on farm adjoining Brooklyn line. Issue.
