"Anthony from Salee, Vaes or Fez, emigrated at an early date to
N. A. [New Amsterdam], where he resided from 1633 to '39,
owning a town lot and a bouwery. He m. 1st Grietje Reiniers;
m. 2nd, in 1670, Metje Gravenraet, and d. about 1676 intestate.
In Apl. 1639 he and his wife were banished from N.A. in
consequence of their being slanderous and troublesome persons.
He, however, appears to have managed to remain in the town
until Aug. 3, 1639, when on petition he was granted by the
Director-Gen. or Gov. Kieft 100 morgens on the W. end of L.I.,
lying within the present bounds of N.U. and Gd., to which he
removed, and for which the patent was dated May 27, 1643. Feb.
9, 1660, he sold his patent to Nicholas Stillwellfor 1600 gl.
and the fee of planation-lot No. 29 in Gd, with the buildings
and improvements thereon, which plantation-lot Anthony sold
Dec. 1669 to Fernandus Van Sickelen, his son-in-law. After
this he appears to have removed back to N.A., where he died.
Anthony's patent during this period was known as "Turk's
Plantation," from his being designated as "Turk" on some ofthe
old records. Stillwell sold .... In 1879, in leveling the
sand-dunes on the upland on the edge of the bay a little S.E.
of the buildings of Mr. Gunther at Locust Grove, which dunes
had been blown up from the beach, and which had been gradually
extending back with the abrasion of the shore or coast, the
remains of two separate pieces of stone wall about 2 ft. high
and 1 ft. wide, made mainly of unbroken field-stones laid in
clay mortar, with a clay floor between them, were exhumed.
These remains were covered with from 4 to 10 ft. of sand, and
are probably those of the barn or other farm buildings of
Anthony Jansen, it being customary in the early settlement of
this country to construct their threshing floors of clay, of
which specimens existed and were in use in this country in the
younger days of the author, their roofs being made of thatched
straw instead of shingles, as at present. Issue by 1st
wife:--Annica, who m. Thomas Southard of Gd: Cornelia, who m.
William Johnson of N.Y.; Sara, who m. John Emans of Gd.; and
Eva, b. 1641, who m. Ferdinandus Van Sickelen of Flds. Made
his mark "A I" to documents." Quoted from the Register of the Early Settlers of Kings County, Long Island, New York.
Married 15, dec 1629 to Grielje Reyniers Egberts .Antony Jansen Van Salee was the son of a Dutch buccaneer, Jan Jansen (born in Amsterdam in the late 1500's) and a Moroccan mother. Antony was born in the port of Fezbut lived in Sale before he immigrated to New Amsterdam in 1630. This tall, dark, and muscular rogue, who was wild and forceful, was known as "The Turk" or as the "Troublesome Turk" in some historical documents. He married Grietje Reiners (Reyniers) a bar maid from Amsterdam who arrived in New Amsterdam in 1633 on the 'Southberg'. History paints them as an extremely colorful couple with questionable reputations. They were involved in many petty slander suits. However, their four daughters were quite respectable and married into prominent families. Anthony and Grietje's lives were the subject of a novel, "The Drowning Room," by Michael Pye, published in the 1990s. I'm told by a fellow researcher (and probably a distant cousin) Charles W. Danis, Jr. that the novel is "historically inaccurate in a number of respects." |
