“Jean (John), baptised in New York May 20, 1674. The sponsors at his baptism were members of two prominent New York familes, viz.: “Mr. Hans Kierstede and Margariet Hardenbroeck.” John went with his father to Haverstraw, where, on April 16, 1701, the records of the Tappan Church says he married Jannetje Wiltse, widow of Myndert Hendrickse (Hogencamp). She was the mother of a family of children baptised in New York as follows: Hendrick, 1682; Jan, 1685; Margrietje, 1687; marten, 1690; Anna, 1693, and Myndert. A younger child, Barbara, was baptised in 1700 at Tappan, who later became the wife of Edmond Concklin. The census of 1702 credits “John D’Puy” as of Haverstraw, with wife “Janneken,” and six children under sixteen years of age, evenly divided as between boys and girls. These children were clearly Hogencamps; but before the year closed John added one to the family, and probably the only child he could call his own. He named her Geertje in remembrance of his mother. She was baptised at Tappan, October 14, 1702, and on January 1, 1720, married John Concklin, brother of Edmond, who had married about the same time her half sister. John and Edmond were sons of Nicholas Concklin of Kakiat, Rockland County, who had but recently moved from Eastchester, Westchester County, where he had lived for many years.

“Jannetje Wiltse was baptised at Kingston [Kingston Church Records], New York, January 7, 1663, the daughter of Hendrick Martensen Wiltse, who afterward became a resident of Newtown [Riker’s Newtown], Long Island.

“In the census of Orange County, year 1712 [N.Y.S. Hist. Mss., Vol. LVII., State Library], “John Pew” and wife of haverstraw, had but two children living at home, a boy and a girl, both under sixteen. John was a surveyor of land [Cole’s Rockland County], and established many land-marks and lines locally in ARockland County. In 1722 he acquired a tract of Orange County land [Cal. Land Papers], some 1250 acres of the “Evans Patent.” With this transaction we lose sight of him.189, July
