DESCENDANTS IN THE MALE LINE
OF DIRCK STOFFELSE
NOTE: The children of female Longstreets are reported with brief data, using for them the system of Roman numerals. Male descendants are listed with Arabic numerals. Grandchildren of female Longstreets are not reported. This purports to be a Longs treet family history.

1. DIRCK STOFFELSE
2. Stoffel Dircksen b. ca. 1666
3. Classje Dircksen b. ca. 1672
4. Adrian (Aaron) bp. 9-16-1677
   (Omitting Dirck's two children by his second marriage - Dirick and Maryntje - for neither of whom we have any record of issue.)
5. STOFFEL DIRCKSEN b. ca. 1666, probably in Flatlands, L.I. and moved to Monmouth County, N.J. sometime near 1700. The "American Weekly Mercury" of Feb 14-21, 1726/7 is quoted in the N.J.A. 111:118 to the effect that Theophilus (or Stoffel) Langs traat from "the Shrewsbury in East Jersey" on Saturday, Dec. 31, 1726, "aged near 60 years met with seven swans flying over a meadow and shot down six of these with one shot". The achievement may well be inaccurately reported but it does give us t he birthdate for Stoffel Dircksen. Bergen is our authority for the statement that he m. Mayke Laanen, dau. of Gysbrecht Tuysz Lanen Van Pelt of New Amsterdamk, and that he was a deacon of the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church in 1698, and "removed t o the Neversinks in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where his descendants abound to this day".
   12-1-1739 "in the 13th year of His Majesty King George the Seconds Reign" proved at Perth Amboy, 3-1-1741, executors being his sons Richard, Aury and Theophilus. The will begins with these words:
   In the name of God Amen. I Theophilus Longstreet of the town of Shrewsbury in the county of Monmouth and eastern division of the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in good health of body and of sound and dispensing mind and memory, thanks be gi ven to Almighty God for that and all other manifold mercies to me, do in this my time of health ordain and constitute this my last will and testament, in the manner following, that is to say, first and principally I give and recommend my soul int o the hands of God that gave it, and my body to the earth to be decently burried.....nothing doubting but at the general resurrection to receive the same again by the mighty power of God.....
   The will is signed: STOFFEL LANGSTRAAT. (Apparently the one drawing the will for him, used "Theophilus" as equal to "Stoffel".
   In the will, Stoffel refers to his "beloved wife Mercy" (Mayke), to eldest son Richard to whom he gave a plantation on the north side of the Manasquan River, to "second son Gilbert", to "third son Aury" to whom he gave a tract "at Raritom", to a f ourth son Theophilus, and bequeathed 100 pounds each to his daughters Yonica, Catherine, Mary, Sarah, Moica and Anne.
   Stoffel's wife Mayke also wrote a will which has survived, signed by her with her mark, 4-8-1752 and proved 3-13-1753. She named of the sons only Stoophel and Gisbert. Mayke herself is named in her father's will of 11-7-1720 as "wife of Stoffel La ngstraat". Her father signed his will as "Gilbert Lane", but his formal Dutch name was Gysbrecht Tuysz Laanen Van Pelt. In (P-8, 2:115-6) we read that Mayke's father moved to Monmouth County about 1700. He had a ... (Printing error)
   It is not possible to establish accurately the dates of birth of the children of Stoffel and Mayke, save for those whose names are entered in the Register of the "Old Brick Church" of Marlboro and which are marked with an asterisk (*) below. The d ate for the birth of Dirck (Richard) is in the Register of the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn. The psresumed order of birth of the children is as follows:
6. Dirck (Richard) bp. 4-25-1696
7. Jonica
8. Catherine
9. Mary bp. 5-6-1702 (Bergen)
10. Sarah bp. 11-26-1710*
11. Gisbert bp. 11-26-1710*
12. Aurie (Awrey, Aaron) bp. 11-26-1710*
13. Stoffel bp. 12-25-1713*
14. Moica bp. 5-6-1715*
15. Ann b. ca. 1718 (Bergen)
16. CLASSJE DIRCKSEN, b. 1672, m. Abraham Lott (P-2,Oct 1952) of Long Island. The Reformed Dutch Church record in Brooklyn has this 4-25-1696 entry:
    Jan Abraham Lodt and Classje Langstraat, parents. Dirck Langstreet and Johanna Havens, wit.
    Dirck Stoffel Langstraat and Mayke Lanen, parents. Dirck Langstraat and Classje, wit.
    From the same church records, we establish the children of Classje as follows:
    i. Rem
    ii. Hendrick
    iii. Jacob
    iv. Isaac
    v. Abraham
    vi. John bp. 4-25-1696
    vii. Peter viii. Charity
17. ADRIAN (AARON) bp. 9-16-1677, d. 1728, m. Christine Janse. (L-20) states that he was "on the assessment roll of Flatlands, L.I. in the census of 1698; deacon of the Freehold, New Jersey Dutch Reformed Church, 1721, to which place he had removed . Issue all baptized in Marlboro, NJ" i.e. in the Dutch Reformed Church of the Navesink, serving the area of Freehold, Middleton, Holmdel, Marlboro, etc., the "Old Brick Church".
    Adrian's will (#397M) dated 3-3-1727, refers to his wife Styntje (Christina). Ellis (L-12) gives the date of marriage as 1707. The will is signed "Aaron". The descendants who contributed data to Lee (L-9) reported that Adrian was a cordswainer an d had a farm near Holmdel (Freehold) which is doubtless the present "Longstreet Farm", long held by members of the family but now in other hands. Of the children mentioned in the will, only four are recorded as baptized at Marlboro (these are mark ed with an asterisk (*) below.)
18. Katrinke bp. 11-27-1709*
19. Jan bp. 1-13-1711*
20. Dirck b. ca. 1713 (L-20)
21. Nelly b. ca. 1715 (L-20)
22. Winifred b. ca. 1718 (L-20)
23. Maria b. ca. 1721 (L-20)
24. Arianche bp. 10-3-1723*
25. Stophel bp. 4-10-1726*
26. An unborn child mentioned in the will (1727)
    The spreceding pages have named the children and the grandchildren of our immigrant ancestor. In the male line, we have thus set up through the sons of Stoffel and Adrian (Aaron) the following third generation "Heads of Families":
    Dirck (5) and Gisbert (10) The Manasquan Line
    Aurie (Awrey) (11) The Brunswick Line
    Stoffel (12) The Southern Line
    Jan (John) (16) The Freehold Line
    Richard (17) The Princeton Line (shortlived)
    Stoffel (22) Probably has no living descendants
    THE THIRD GENERATION
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- 5. DIRCK (RICHARD) bp. 4-25-1696 in the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, L.I. (M-11,I,79). Bergen (L-20) states that Dirck m. Jonica (Jane) and was probably dead a t the time of his father's will (1739) but upon what grounds is not apparent. It seems more likely that this is the "Richard of Shrewsbury" who wrote will #2659M, dated 12-23-1759, proved 4-18-1761. The descendants who supplied data for Ogden (L-6 ), if they were well informed, made this identification. Richard, in his will, refers to his wife "my well-adored Alice". She seems to have been dau. of Samuel Osborn (1680-1754) of Shrewsbury, whose will #2307M, dated 3-21-1754, names his fourt h child as "Alice Longstreet". Richard also refers to a plantation at Manasquan which his father "bought of John West and by his will gave to me" (Will #1001M).
    Richard named as his children: eldest son then living, Samuel; two younger sons, Awrey and Richard; three older daughters, viz. Catherine, Moica and Mary; daughters Alice and Ann; two grand-daughters by eldest son Stophel deceased, viz. Catherin e and Alice.
    The Second Book of Shrewsbury Friends Record, under date of "1767, 9, 12 mo" lists as witnesses at a wedding in Manasquan what are probably four of the above children, viz. Anne, Else, Catherine, Samuel.
    The order of birth of Richard's children is not established by baptismal records (save for the last two which are to be found in the Parish Record of Christ Church in Shrewsbury.)

29. Stophel
30. Samuel
31. Mary
32. Awrey
33. Alice (perhaps b. 1-13-1742)
34. Richard bp. 12-13-1745, aged 3 mos.

Richard also refers to a plantation at Manasquan which his father "bought of John West and by his will gave to me" (Will #1001M).
    Richard named as his children: eldest son then living, Samuel; two younger sons, Awrey and Richard; three older daughters, viz. Catherine, Moica and Mary; daughters Alice and Ann; two grand-daughters by eldest son Stophel deceased, viz. Catherin e and Alice.
    The Second Book of Shrewsbury Friends Record, under date of "1767, 9, 12 mo" lists as witnesses at a wedding in Manasquan what are probably four of the above children, viz. Anne, Else, Catherine, Samuel.
    The order of birth of Richard's children is not established by baptismal records (save for the last two which are to be found in the Parish Record of Christ Church in Shrewsbury.)
27. Catherine
28. Moica b. ca. 1730
29. Stophel
30. Samuel
31. Mary
32. Awrey
33. Alice (perhaps b. 1-13-1742)
34. Richard bp. 12-13-1745, aged 3 mos.
35. Anne bp. 6-17-1748, aged 2 weeks, 3 days
    DESCENDANTS IN THE MALE LINE
    OF DIRCK STOFFELSE
    NOTE: The children of female Longstreets are reported with brief data, using for them the system of Roman numerals. Male descendants are listed with Arabic numerals. Grandchildren of female Longstreets are not reported. This purports to be a Longs treet family history.
36. DIRCK STOFFELSE
37. Stoffel Dircksen b. ca. 1666
38. Classje Dircksen b. ca. 1672
39. Adrian (Aaron) bp. 9-16-1677
    (Omitting Dirck's two children by his second marriage - Dirick and Maryntje - for neither of whom we have any record of issue.)
40. STOFFEL DIRCKSEN b. ca. 1666, probably in Flatlands, L.I. and moved to Monmouth County, N.J. sometime near 1700. The "American Weekly Mercury" of Feb 14-21, 1726/7 is quoted in the N.J.A. 111:118 to the effect that Theophilus (or Stoffel) Langs traat from "the Shrewsbury in East Jersey" on Saturday, Dec. 31, 1726, "aged near 60 years met with seven swans flying over a meadow and shot down six of these with one shot". The achievement may well be inaccurately reported but it does give us t he birthdate for Stoffel Dircksen. Bergen is our authority for the statement that he m. Mayke Laanen, dau. of Gysbrecht Tuysz Lanen Van Pelt of New Amsterdamk, and that he was a deacon of the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church in 1698, and "removed t o the Neversinks in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where his descendants abound to this day".
    12-1-1739 "in the 13th year of His Majesty King George the Seconds Reign" proved at Perth Amboy, 3-1-1741, executors being his sons Richard, Aury and Theophilus. The will begins with these words:
    In the name of God Amen. I Theophilus Longstreet of the town of Shrewsbury in the county of Monmouth and eastern division of the Province of New Jersey, yeoman, being in good health of body and of sound and dispensing mind and memory, thanks be gi ven to Almighty God for that and all other manifold mercies to me, do in this my time of health ordain and constitute this my last will and testament, in the manner following, that is to say, first and principally I give and recommend my soul int o the hands of God that gave it, and my body to the earth to be decently burried.....nothing doubting but at the general resurrection to receive the same again by the mighty power of God.....
    The will is signed: STOFFEL LANGSTRAAT. (Apparently the one drawing the will for him, used "Theophilus" as equal to "Stoffel".
    In the will, Stoffel refers to his "beloved wife Mercy" (Mayke), to eldest son Richard to whom he gave a plantation on the north side of the Manasquan River, to "second son Gilbert", to "third son Aury" to whom he gave a tract "at Raritom", to a f ourth son Theophilus, and bequeathed 100 pounds each to his daughters Yonica, Catherine, Mary, Sarah, Moica and Anne.
    Stoffel's wife Mayke also wrote a will which has survived, signed by her with her mark, 4-8-1752 and proved 3-13-1753. She named of the sons only Stoophel and Gisbert. Mayke herself is named in her father's will of 11-7-1720 as "wife of Stoffel La ngstraat". Her father signed his will as "Gilbert Lane", but his formal Dutch name was Gysbrecht Tuysz Laanen Van Pelt. In (P-8, 2:115-6) we read that Mayke's father moved to Monmouth County about 1700. He had a ... (Printing error)
    It is not possible to establish accurately the dates of birth of the children of Stoffel and Mayke, save for those whose names are entered in the Register of the "Old Brick Church" of Marlboro and which are marked with an asterisk (*) below. The d ate for the birth of Dirck (Richard) is in the Register of the Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn. The psresumed order of birth of the children is as follows:
41. Dirck (Richard) bp. 4-25-1696
42. Jonica
43. Catherine
44. Mary bp. 5-6-1702 (Bergen)
45. Sarah bp. 11-26-1710*
46. Gisbert bp. 11-26-1710*
47. Aurie (Awrey, Aaron) bp. 11-26-1710*
48. Stoffel bp. 12-25-1713*
49. Moica bp. 5-6-1715*
50. Ann b. ca. 1718 (Bergen)
51. CLASSJE DIRCKSEN, b. 1672, m. Abraham Lott (P-2,Oct 1952) of Long Island. The Reformed Dutch Church record in Brooklyn has this 4-25-1696 entry:
    Jan Abraham Lodt and Classje Langstraat, parents. Dirck Langstreet and Johanna Havens, wit.
    Dirck Stoffel Langstraat and Mayke Lanen, parents. Dirck Langstraat and Classje, wit.
    From the same church records, we establish the children of Classje as follows:
    i. Rem
    ii. Hendrick
    iii. Jacob
    iv. Isaac
    v. Abraham
    vi. John bp. 4-25-1696
    vii. Peter viii. Charity
52. ADRIAN (AARON) bp. 9-16-1677, d. 1728, m. Christine Janse. (L-20) states that he was "on the assessment roll of Flatlands, L.I. in the census of 1698; deacon of the Freehold, New Jersey Dutch Reformed Church, 1721, to which place he had removed . Issue all baptized in Marlboro, NJ" i.e. in the Dutch Reformed Church of the Navesink, serving the area of Freehold, Middleton, Holmdel, Marlboro, etc., the "Old Brick Church".
    Adrian's will (#397M) dated 3-3-1727, refers to his wife Styntje (Christina). Ellis (L-12) gives the date of marriage as 1707. The will is signed "Aaron". The descendants who contributed data to Lee (L-9) reported that Adrian was a cordswainer an d had a farm near Holmdel (Freehold) which is doubtless the present "Longstreet Farm", long held by members of the family but now in other hands. Of the children mentioned in the will, only four are recorded as baptized at Marlboro (these are mark ed with an asterisk (*) below.)
53. Katrinke bp. 11-27-1709*
54. Jan bp. 1-13-1711*
55. Dirck b. ca. 1713 (L-20)
56. Nelly b. ca. 1715 (L-20)
57. Winifred b. ca. 1718 (L-20)
58. Maria b. ca. 1721 (L-20)
59. Arianche bp. 10-3-1723*
60. Stophel bp. 4-10-1726*
61. An unborn child mentioned in the will (1727)
    The spreceding pages have named the children and the grandchildren of our immigrant ancestor. In the male line, we have thus set up through the sons of Stoffel and Adrian (Aaron) the following third generation "Heads of Families":
    Dirck (5) and Gisbert (10) The Manasquan Line
    Aurie (Awrey) (11) The Brunswick Line
    Stoffel (12) The Southern Line
    Jan (John) (16) The Freehold Line
    Richard (17) The Princeton Line (shortlived)
    Stoffel (22) Probably has no living descendants
    THE THIRD GENERATION
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- 5. DIRCK (RICHARD) bp. 4-25-1696 in the Reformed Dutch Church in Brooklyn, L.I. (M-11,I,79). Bergen (L-20) states that Dirck m. Jonica (Jane) and was probably dead a t the time of his father's will (1739) but upon what grounds is not apparent. It seems more likely that this is the "Richard of Shrewsbury" who wrote will #2659M, dated 12-23-1759, proved 4-18-1761. The descendants who supplied data for Ogden (L-6 ), if they were well informed, made this identification. Richard, in his will, refers to his wife "my well-adored Alice". She seems to have been dau. of Samuel Osborn (1680-1754) of Shrewsbury, whose will #2307M, dated 3-21-1754, names his fourt h child as "Alice Longstreet". Richard also refers to a plantation at Manasquan which his father "bought of John West and by his will gave to me" (Will #1001M).
    Richard named as his children: eldest son then living, Samuel; two younger sons, Awrey and Richard; three older daughters, viz. Catherine, Moica and Mary; daughters Alice and Ann; two grand-daughters by eldest son Stophel deceased, viz. Catherin e and Alice.
    The Second Book of Shrewsbury Friends Record, under date of "1767, 9, 12 mo" lists as witnesses at a wedding in Manasquan what are probably four of the above children, viz. Anne, Else, Catherine, Samuel.
    The order of birth of Richard's children is not established by baptismal records (save for the last two which are to be found in the Parish Record of Christ Church in Shrewsbury.)

64. Stophel
65. Samuel
66. Mary
67. Awrey
68. Alice (perhaps b. 1-13-1742)
69. Richard bp. 12-13-1745, aged 3 mos.
