Ferdinandus emigrated from the Netherlands about 1652 and settled at Flatlands
Kings County, Long Island. An entry in The American Genealogist , vol. XXX, 1954
in an article "Random Notes Concerning Settlers of Dutch Descent" by William J.
Hoffman shows Ferdinandus van Sicheler of the Hague at Amsterdam employed in New
Netherlands in 1663 as a shoemaker by Coenraet ten Eyck and Cys Cornelius Ouden-
kerk.Apparently the van Sicklen family stayed in the New York area for a consider-
able time, for this first Ferdinandus is recorded as having died at Flatlands;
his son, Reinier was married in New York City and became a resident of
neighboring Gravesend for the rest of his life. His grandson, Reinier
was married in Kings County in 1720.It is not until his great grandson, Rynear is recorded as having
married Maayke Langstraat in Monmouth County (and subsequently to have died in
Hunterdon County in 1803) that there is any sign of this line in New Jersey.His name is entered as "Ferdinand V. Sicklen" in the record of the Flatbush
Dutch Church at the baptism of his daughter , "Susana" on May 1, 1681. This
indicates that he had dropped the latinizing of the name, an affectation much in
vogue earlier in the century in the Netherlands. Two years earlier his name is
entered as a witness to a baptism at the same church as "Fernandus V. Sicklen"

Eva, along with her husband, Ferdinandus, were members of the the Flatlands
Dutch Church on Long Island. She took the oath of allegiance in that town in
1687 - a requirement in most of the American colonies at that time if one even
wanted to be a resident; certainly no one could be a member of the church or
participate in any civic function without the oath.

A record of her baptism at the Flatbush Dutch Church reads "Susana, child of
Ferdinand V. Sicklen, Eva Antonis. Witnesses: Jan Barendz V. Driest, Sara
Antonis." The witnesses are evidently her uncle (by marriage) and aunt (sister
of her mother.)

(1) Antony Jansen was known alternately as Antony Jansen Van Salee and Antony
Jansen Van Fez from his having lived for some time as he grew up in Morocco in
the cities of Salee and Fez where hs father had ended his career as an admiral
of the Moroccan pirate fleet. Antony himself was said to have been a
freebooter and pirate before leaving Morocco. In Morocco he had followed the
dominant culture as a Mohammedan. It was no doubt by reason of this background
that he was known later as "the Turk" and his plantation in lower Manhattan as
"The Turk's place." As a young man he left North Africa about 1629 for his
father's native land, the Netherlands, where he married an attractive young
widow, Grietje Reiniers. Antony and Grietje then came to New Amsterdam where
they lived until 1639, at which time they were banished to Long Island in
consequence of their having been "slanderous and troublesome persons." In all
likelihood Greitje was the offending party for, in researching the Bogardus
family, I came across a reference to a dispute Anneke Bogardus had with Grietje
in which it appears that Greitje was ultimately judged to have engaged in
slander.Antony was granted land on Long Island which he farmed till his return to
New Amsterdam in 1660 where he owned about 300 acres just north of Wall Street,
an area bounded by what is now Ann Street (after his first daughter Annetje),
Broadway, Maiden Lane, and the East River. It was known as "Wallenstein" or
informally, as "The Turk's Plantation." Too bad it is not still in the family!Apparently his mother was the first wife, Dutch or Spanish, of his father
who was captured by the pirates of North Africa while serving on a Dutch or
Spanish vessel sailing out of Cartagena. In Morocco Jan Janse, faced with the
choice of being a castrated Christian slave, or a Mohammedan pirate seaman,
chose the latter. He later married as his second wife the daughter of the
Sultan of Morrocco, Muley Sidan. He then rose to become the Admiral of the
Sultan's fleet. He brought his son Antony to Salee, Morocco to join him in
1622 when Anthony was fifteen years of age. In 1629 some sort of pestilence
came upon Morocco. Great numbers died of starvation so the Admiral sent his
son back to his native land in Amsterdam in the newly independent and
protestant Netherlands.An entry in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's "Register
of Pedigrees," No. 34, Van Salee by Walter Lipsenard Suydam shows Anthony
Jansen's two marriages and four children by Greitje, and provides a resume for
him:"He is supposed to have come from Salee, Vaes or Fes in Africa, to New
Amsterdam about 1633, where he lived until 1639. May 27th, 1643 he was granted
a patent of land by Governor Kieft where Bensonhurst, Long Island now stands;
he sold his patent of land in 1660 and removed to New Amsterdam where he died;
he was called "The Turk." He made is mark, "A I" to documents."It appears that Antony and Greitje may in fact have been married at sea
enroute to New Amsterdam. In a letter of October 10, 1978 to Gene Van Sickle,
the Director of Municipal Archives in Amsterdam quotes an entry of 15 December
1629; "Publications of the banns of Anthonis Janss (from Cartagena, sailor, 22
years old, no parents alive, living near the Haringpakkerij) and Grietje
Reyniers (widow of Albert Egbertsz van Wezel since over two years.) " The
Director of Archives goes on to say "The Celebration of the marriage was not
found here.Grietje Reyniers was about 27 years old, as, at her first marriage in 1626
she was 24. An entry in the "The New York Genealogical and Biographical
Record" states: "Anthony Jansz and Grietje Reyniers of Amsterdam received a
certificate December 1629 allowing them to be married "on board."The American Genealogist, Vol. 29, No. 2 of April 1953 in an article
"Random Notes Concerning Settlers of Dutch Descent," by William J. Hoffman has
an entry showing Ant. Jansz van Salee employing in 1652 as a farm hand one
Thomas Cornelis of Flensburg.(2) COURT PROCEEDINGS IN NEW AMSTERDAM CONCERNING ANTONY JANSEN VAN SALEE,
AND HIS WIFE GRIETJE REYNIERS.(21) On the 7th October 1638.
Everardus Bogardus, minister, plaintiff, vs. Anthony Jansen from Salee,
defendant, for slander.Declaration of Philip de Truy, made in court at the request of Bogarde,
that on the departure of the ship Soutberch, anno 1633, the said Truy, going to
the strand to draw water, heard and saw the following: Grietjen Reyniers, wife
of Antony Jansen aforenamed, being likewise on the strand, the crew of the
Soutbergh aforesaid called to her, "Whore, Whore, Two pound butter's whore!"
Whereupon Grietjen, paying little attention to this, lifted up her petticoat
and (turning to) the crew pointed to her behind.Declaration of Symon Dircksen Pos that on last Thursday he heard Griet
Reyniers say that Bogarde, the minister, owed her some money and that he had

soldiers, that last Thursday they both heard Grietjen Reyniers, the wife of
Anthony Jansen, say that the minister, Bogardus, had taken a false oath. On

present wife before he marrried her had earned a skirt of fl. 40.Case adjourned to the next court day, in order meanwhile to examine the
evidence and testimony of witnesses.By virtue of the judgment given on the 3rd of June last against Anthony

presence of the hereinafter mentioned persons:"I Griet Reyniers, acknowledge in the presence of the commander and
council and all other persons present that I lied what I said regarding Domine
Bogardus, namely, that the same was a perjurer, and I pray God, the court and
Bogardus for forgiveness, promising that I shall hereafter comport and conduct
myself in such a way that the commander and council and everybody else shall be
satisfied."On Thursday, being the 21st of October.

(38) On Thursday, being the 7th of April anno 1639.
The fiscal, plaintiff, vs. Anthony Jansen from Salee, defendant.
Plaintiff demands that the defendant prove that he, the plaintiff, drew his
sword in his house; also that he honourable director and council be pleased to
banish the defendant from the jurisdiction of New Netherlands in as much as the
good inhabitants daily experience much trouble from him and his wife, as
appears by the depositions and also by the former resolution book kept during
the administration of the late Mr. van Twiller, which testifies to their
conduct here; all of which the plaintiff requests may be duly considered.(39) On Thursday, being the 7th of April 1639.
Jan Cornelissen from Rotterdam, plaintiff, vs. Anthony Jansen from Salee,
defendant, for slander. Plaintiff demands vindication of his honor as the
defendant cannot prove what he has said to the prejudice of the plaintiff.Wybrant Pietersen, plaintiff, vs. Anthony Jansen from Salee, defendant,
for slander. Plaintiff demands that the defendant prove that his books are
false and he produced them before the director and council. Defendant answers
that he cannot prove it.Gerreken Hessels, plaintiff, vs. Anthony Jansen from Salee, defendant.
Plaintiff demands payment of a kid which the defendant owes him for wages.
Defendant answers that he delivered the kid to the plaintiff, but that it died.
Plaintiff, replying, says that the defendant wanted to deliver to him a kid
which was lying sick on a pillow near the fire and which he never received,
being ready to confirm the same by oath. The plaintiff has taken the oath
before the director and council and the defendant is condemned to deliver the
kid to the plaintiff.Having seen the complaint of Ulrich Lupolt against Anthony Jansen from
Salee and Grietjen Reyniers, his wife, in regard to their comportment and
conduct, as appears from the affidavits, to wit: Nos. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,
12,13,14,15, and 16, namely, that on the ship she pulled the shirts of some
sailors out of their breeches and in her house measured the male member of
three sailors on a broomstick; also, that during her confinement she asked the
midwife, Whom does the child resemble, Anthony or Hudden? Furthermore, that
she even went so far as to call out in the fort, I have long enough been the
whore of the nobility, now I want to be the rabble's whore; and whereas Anthony
Jansen heretofore has pointed a loaded pistol at the foreman, Jacob Stoffelsen,
and he as well as she have committed various other offenses, according to the
affidavits examined here, and daily make new and unheard of trouble, speaking
evil of every one, on account of all of which he requests that they may be
punished and banished, in order that the few people here in New Netherland may
live together in peace;Therefore, (the court) having duly considered the said case, having heard
the parties (40) and examined all the evidence and also taken into
consideration that six months ago they were obliged to pray God, the Court and
the Reverend Bogardus for forgiveness, acknowledging that they had lied in what
they had said about him, and promised expressly to conduct themselves quietly
and piously as behooves Christians, and that notwithstanding this the said
Anthony and Grietje have since that time been the cause of various troubles,
especially on the 10th of March last past, when they came out of the
consistory, being drunk, all of which are matters of serious consequence which
to disturb and shock the few inhabitants here; therefore, we have condemned, as
we do condemn hereby, the said Anthony Jansen from Salee and grietjen Reyniers
to depart from the jurisdiction of New Netherlands within the space of six
months and to remain banished forever, and in addition to pay the costs of the
trial. Thus don and sentenced, the day and year above written, in council in
Fort Amsterdam.
Jan Janse VAN HAARLEM (Admiral)

Destin, Florida 32540.Historical Notes:
(1) It is known that Jan was captured as a young man by North African Pirates;
and that he was in service with the pirate fleet and ended as an Admiral with
the Moroccan Pirate Fleet. The story is that, as a pirate admiral, he always
treated captured Duch persons and ships with consideration. It appears likely,
Spain then being in control of the Netherlands, that Jan was in service on a
Spanish ship when he was captured in the late 1500's, and subsequently took the
only course open to him.What his surname was, if any, is not known. Very likely, in keeping with
Dutch practice of that time, he had no surname. In Jan's case he was known as
"Jan Van Haarlem" by reason of his place of origin in the Netherlands.Lending authenticity to some of the stories of Jan Van Haarlem is the
presence in the archives of the Holland Society of New York of the "Beggar's
Medal," a crescent symbol of free speech of the Dutch against Catholic Spain
in the late 16th Century. Admiral Jan is said to have worn it until passing it
on to his son, Antony. It was passed down through the Van Sickelen family and
given to the Society by its founder, George West Van Siclen.There is more about Jan Janse Van Haarlem in notes on his son Antony.
