According to Vanderkoeck Decendants:

Johannis probably moved to New York about 1770 where he and his sons saw military service in the Albany County militia during the Revolution. Johannis predeceased Aeltje who may have married as her second husband CORNELIS VAN NESS, by whom she had no children.

possibly son of Ruth Fuller

Note 2

Note: Also known as Jan Van Sisco and Jan Francisco. He and his sons saw military service in the Albany County, NY militia during the Revolution. He probably moved to New York State about 1770.

Ref. New York Genealogical Biographical R ecord, July 1965.

Kyes surmises that John must have removed from the vicinity of Horseneck (later Caldwell), NJ between 30 June 1770,when his granddaughter Alida (daughter of his son Thomas)was baptised at Belleville, Essex County, NJ, and 16 April 1771, when his daughter Anna married Henry Vandercook at Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, NY. It was said that John Francisco was in the War of 1748 and the Revolutionary War.

It appears from the notes that Johannis and Aeltje moved to the Pittstown area between the birth of Thomas (Sept 1747) and the birth of son Johannes (Jul 1749).

The History of Pittstown (Ray's Place) has a John Francisco locating near Raymertown, but no date. From that History:

"At the time of the division of the ancient county of Albany and the erection therefrom of the counties of Tryon and Charlotte, March 24, 1772, the territory now constituting Rensselaer county, then still a part of Albany county, was divided by the Provincial Legislature into four districts-Rensselaerwyck, Hoosick, Pittstown and Schaghticoke. The district of Pittstown was erected as a township by patent July 23, 1761, and thus remained until after the War of the Revolution.

The district of Pittstown was erected as a township by patent July 23, 1761, and thus remained until after the War of the Revolution. The first civil organization of which there is any record was effected in 1772, being that of the "Schaghticoke district." March 7, 1788, the towns of Schaghticoke and Pittstown were created out of the "Schaghticoke district," and the two towns began their separate existence at the town meetings held in April, 1789 The Pittstown town meetings probably were held in a house near the Quaker meeting house, then the tavern of James Stitt, for a dozen years. The officers elected at the first town meeting were as follows: Supervisor, Israel Thompson; town clerk, Evans Humphrey; assessors, John Francisco, Harmon Vanvarter, Hazael Shepard, Benjamin Milks, John Rowan; collectors, Gilbert Eddy, Hazael Shepard, poormasters, Simon Vandercook, George Gage, Stephen Hunt; constables, Gilbert Eddy, Hazael Shepard, Aaron Van Namee, John Rowan, jr., and Stephen Hunt"

I found a very old map that appears to place John Francisco's farm directly across the river from Albany.
