He died before 1662 in Essen, East Friesland, Germany. He was buried before 1662 in Emden, Harlinger Land, Aurich, Niedersachsen. Nicholas DeWitt remained in Holland and is one of the ancestors ofPresident Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was probably too young to havebeen a physician at this time. Family Tradition suggests that as a young man he sailed up the HudosnRiver with Henry Hudson aboard the HALF MOON in 1609. His excitement ,enthusiasm and stories in regard to this adventure are given as thereason for three of his children emigrating to New Amsterdam to seek theopportunities it held. We know that Emmerente, Jan Classen and Tjerckemigrated in 1662. The listed father of Nicholas DeWitt is speculative; this Nicholas isoften called Claes Nicholas as "Claes" is part of the name "Nicholas." Atleast three choices are offered as the father of Claes Nicholas DeWitt orNicholas Claes DeWitt. The name of De Witt or Dewitt is of Dutch origins and means "white." Itis found on the ancient European and American records in the variousforms of De Wytte, De Wit, De Wittem Dewitte, DeWette, De Wet, DeWitt,and Dewitt, of which the last two are the most generally accepted formsof the name today in America. In most documents about Holland, it isspelled de Witt. It is said the DeWitt family was living in Grootholdt, in Zunderlandt(Westphalia), at an extremely early date and was prominent in theofficial, social, and civil life of Holland. In the royal library at the Hague, the "Heschlachten von Dordricht" givesthe descent of the DeWitt famly from the years 1295-1639. According to Jacob Westfall DeWitt of Pennsylvania, who was historian ofthe DeWitt Family Hisorical Society, Jan and Cornelius DeWitt had anuncle, their father's brother, named Dr. Nicholas DeWitt. This Dr. DeWittaccompanied Hendrick Hudson to American on the HALF MOON in 1609ascending the "River of the Mountains," later named the Hudson River, ona voyage of discovery to try and find a passage to the Indies. On hissreturn to holland, his accounts of the New World so fascinated hisfamily that his two sons and a daughter were determined to visit andpossibly settle in this new land.

Tierck\Tjerck DEWITT and Anne\Anna PAWLING were married on Jan 18, 1707/8. Tjerck DEWITT. Parents: Tjerck Claessen DEWITT and Barbara Andriessen VAN AMSTERDAM. Tjerck Claessen DEWITT was born about 1619 in Grootholt, Saterland, Westphalia, Germany. He was buried in Feb 1698/99. He died on Feb 17, 1698/99 in New Dorp (Hurley), near Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Tjerck DeWitt emigated to New Amsterdam with his sister and brother about1662. Court records at Fort Orange and Beverwyck 1652-1656: indicate asfollows: "Johan de Deckere, ex officio plaintiff, against Tjerck Claesen,defendant. He demands that the defendant be fined sixteen guilders forhaving fought last Sunday with William Tellier and killed a goat ofSander Leendertsz. The court having heard the defendant's confession,condemns him to pay a fine of two and a half beavers. "Idem, plaintiff, against the same defendant, for having been foundlast Sunday in the company of the Lutherans, performing divine service,contrary to the ordinance issued against it. Demands therefore that he befined fl. 6. "The court, having heard the confession of the defendant, condemnshim to pay the fine demanded." The date of the court appearance would have been before his marriage toBarbara. From the early records of Albany, New York, come these items about TjerckDeWitt: "Lease of a house by Tjerck DeWitt to Arent Jansen Appel. "Appeared before me, Johannes La Montague, in the service of theGeneral Chartered West India Company commisary at Fort Orange and thevillage of Beverwyck, Tjerck Claesen, who declared that he had leased, ashe does hereby does lease, his house lying in the village of Beverwyck,for the term of one year beginning on the first of May 1659 and endingnext year 1660, to Arent Isacksz, burgher and in September of 1660 hetraded his Albany property with a Madame de Hutter (or Madame Johanna DeLaldt and her husband, Hon. Jorinimus Ebbink?), in exchange for land inWiltwyck (Kingston), "possession to be given May 1, 1661." (or for twopieces of land in the Esopus?). Tjerck DeWitt was known to own a sailing ship named the "St. Barbara" andgiven that occupations were often the same among members of differentgenerations, it's likely that his father and grandfather were shipcaptains, too. In 1661 Tjerck was taxed for the erection of a church in Hurley, not farfrom Kingston. By September 1661 Tjerck had already appeared in court inWiltwyck (this time as a plaintiff; he won his case). On February 12,1662, Tjerck and Babrbara had their daughter, Jannetjen, baptized in theKingston Dutch Reformed Church (they already had Andries and anotherdaughter, Taatje, born in 1659). By 1662 they owned No. 28 of the "NewLots" at Kingston. On May 28, 1663, Tjerck also bought a lot in Beverwyckfrom Harman Tomassen, though he doesn't seem to have moved there (itsounds like it was very near the property he'd traded away in 1660). OnJune 7, 1663, Kingston and Hurley were almost entirely destroyed by theIndians; Tjerck fought valiantly in their defense, and his daughter,Taatje, was kidnapped, along with three other children. She was soonrescued. Between then and 1668, Tjerck and Barbara baptized three more children inKingston, where they apparently continued to live in town. In September1664 the British took control of New Amsterdam and renamed it after theDuke of York; Colonel Richard Nicolls took over as Governor. In 1667Tjerck opposed the British occupation of Kingston and "refused to keepChristmas on the day according to the English observation, but accordingto the Dutch." (The Dutche used the old Julian calendar, which was abouttwo weeks off from the modern gregorian calendar used by the British.)For his recalcitrance he was beaten. In 1668 (?) Tjerck refused to signthe oath of allegiance administered by the British, though a "John"DeWitt (perhaps his brother, Jan?) and Andries DeWitt (probably Tjerck's10-year-old son) did sign it. On January 24, 1669-70 (or on April 8, 1669?) the new British Governor,Colonel Frances Lovelace, issued a permit to Tjerck to let him "erect ahouse and barne with convenient outhouses for his cattle upon his ownland at Esopus, lying betwixt Hurley and Kingston," noting that Tjerckpreviously had permission from Governor Nicolls to do this and on thatpromise had provided all the materials to get started. The land was onthe Kingston-Hurley Road; the house still stands today, with a beautifulview of the valley of the Esopus Creek. On June 25, 1672, Governor Lovelace officially deeded Tjerck the "parcelof bush land, together with a house, lot, orchard and calves' pasturelying near Kingston in Esopus." The deed was confirmation of Tjerck'stitle to the land, now that he had already built on it. New Amersterdamwas recaptured by the Dutch on August 7, 1673, but in February 1674 theDutch agreed to give the colony back, and on October 11, 1674, CaptainAntony Colve officially handed over control to the new English Governor,Major Edmond Andros. October 8, 1677, Governor Andros deeded Tjerck apiece of woodland, containing about fifty acres at Kingston in Esopus,"to the west of the towne." Tjerck owned other property as well. Tjerck and Barbara had six other children whose baptisms were notrecorded in Manhatten or Kingston. It seems likely they were baptized inHurley, in the church he had helped to build - not too far from the houseand barn he built about 1670. Their last daughter, Aeftje, was baptizedin Kingston on January 14, 1684. Parents: Nicholas Claussen\Cornelius (Dr.) DEWITT and Taatse (Taatje\TaAlte) VAN LEUVEN.
