ALERT
During this period in Warmond, there were dozens of adults with the name Jan Jansz.
Using Open Archives for Warmond before 1660, a total of 57 records appear.
A few records display surnames. Most do not.
So it cannot be assumed that references to a Jan Jansz living in Warmond before 1660 pertain to the man in this profile.
More than likely, they do not.

LNAB
LNAB probably should be van Sijp or perhaps Broer, absent a baptismal record.
A Dutch Roots project manager changed the original LNAB in favor of the van Leeuwen surname that Jan Jansz may have used only late in his lifetime.
Profile manager is constrained from restoring the original LNAB by project protection rules.
This paragraph will be removed when that restoration is implemented.

BIOGRAPHY
Many of the details surrounding the life of Jan Jansz van Sijp are lacking in documentation.
Jan Jansz was a fairly common name, making it difficult to clearly establish historical family relationships based on the available records of this period, where surnames were not typically recorded.

Jan was born about 1600. He was the son of Jan Gerritsz (Huijgensz/van Sijp) and Annetgen Englesdr Coninck.
Jan Jansz van Sijp was also the brother of Jan Jansz Bout.
He married Geertgen Gerritsdr in 1625, and they had one child in 1626, named Annetgen.
It appears probable that Geertgen died not long after, and Jan began a relationship with Machtelt Feuyten. Her parents are unknown. She may have been an (undocumented) daughter of Feuyt Cornelis.
Machtelt Jansdr. was born in 1628 to a Jan Jansz. (no surname recorded) and Machtelt Feuyten.

About 1633, a child named Jan Jansz. was born, absent baptismal records altogether. (See Notarial record from 1679, referencing his age as 46.)
Other notarial records suggest that a close relationship later existed between this Jan Jansz van Sijp (van Leeuwen in a later period) and the younger Jan Jansz ("de jonge"). (See RESEARCH NOTES). A 1661 document may establish that they were father and son.

Jan Jansz. also was referred to by the surname Broer, for example as a witness at the baptism of his brother Gerrit's son Engel in 1636. His land holdings in the Warmond morgenboeken also reference him in this manner. (See also text below relating to handmerks)
https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/detail/53314909

Jan Jansz van Sijp had a third relationship with Neeltgen Gijsbertsdr van der Codde at least by 1640, out of which a son was born. (See property holdings for 1640.)
(Kuyper's 1996 article on Lijsbeth Gerritsdr van Rhijn references Pieter and Cornelis Gijsbertsdr van der Codde about 1627. Nothing on Neeltgen. This family did not participate in the Dutch Reformed Church, so their marriage and baptismal records are not included in standard online records. Neeltgen is noted as the daughter of Gijlbert Jacobsz van der Codde in the Warmond hoofdgeld anno 1623.)

SURNAME CHANGES
Jan Jansz may have been born with the surname van Sijp, also used an alias Broer, and later adopted the surname van Leeuwen, in line with other family members that did so in the late 1650s and 1660s.
Jan Jansz' son, Jan Jansz (de jonge), was recorded with the surname van Leuwen when he married Trijntge Pieters van Outzhoorn, both born in Warmondt, in 1660.

RESEARCH NOTES
ANNETGEN JANS
Daughter Annetgen, born 1626, may have married between 1645 and 1655, as there are numerous Annetgen Jans becoming brides in that period in Warmond. Otherwise, nothing further can be said with confidence about her.

VAN DER CODDE FAMILY
The Rijnsburg Collegiants were a Dutch religious group from the 17th and 18th centuries. When, after the Synod of Dort, the ministers of the Remonstrants (Arminians) were banned, the church elder Gijsbert van der Codde and his brothers (Jan the elder, Arie, and Jan the younger) set up meetings for worship (collegia) without a minister, in 1619 in Warmond and in 1621 in Rijnsburg, with reading of scripture, prayer, and open preaching.
