Biography

Laurens Duyts, a Dane, born in Holstein in 1610, was the progenitor of one of the Dye families in America.

Laurens Duyts arrived in America in July of 1639, on the "Fire of Troy", a private armed vessel, engaged at Hoorn, Holland by Captain Jochiem Pietersen Kuyter. Kuyter, a Danish gentleman, was accompanied by his friend and countryman, Jonas Bronck. All were perhaps fugitives from the Thirty Years War, drawn at first by the promise of freedom and opportunity to Holland. But, as conditions there became more unsettled and trade declined, they along with a multitude of other expatriates, looked toward New Netherland which was extolled as beyond the finest country in the world, where everything can be produced that is grown in France or the Baltic and whose young settlements were free from all tyranny and the corruption of European society. Kuyter shipped a large cargo of cattle aboard the ship, and he and Bronck were accompanied by their families and many herdsmen, farmers and several laborers. [This shipload must have made an impact of sorts on the community of New Amsterdam, which, at the time, was estimated to have had a population of under one thousand.]

Kuyter immediately obtained a grant of about four hundred acres, bordering on the Great Kill (Harlem River) from about the present 127 Street to 140th Street in New York City.(4) Bronck settled directly opposite his friend's land on five hundred acres purchased from the Indians and now part of the borough of the Bronx. (5) Laurens Duyts and Pieter Andriessen, (6) also a passenger on the Fire of Troy, leased portions of Bronck's land, July 21, 1639, for three years, to be used for raising tobacco and maize, from the proceeds of which they were to reimburse Bronck the one hundred and twenty-one florins for their passage, which he had originally paid on their behalf. They were to clear and cultivate a fresh spot every two years for the raising of their tobacco and maize, and then that spot was to return to Mr. Bronck for the planting of grain.

Laurens Duyts was frequently on the move, what might be called "an itinerant farmer," leasing the land he tilled. Nicknamed Laurens Grootschoe (big shoe), he was often quarreling with other residents and in trouble with Dutch authorities. His name appears in the court records of New Amsterdam on more than fifteen occasions between 1643 and 1658. The culmination of his courtroom experiences occurred on November 25, 1658, when Pieter Stuyvesant rendered one of the severest verdicts in New Netherland history:

For selling his wife, Ytie Jansen, and forcing her to live in adultery with another man and for living himself also in adultery, he was to have a rope tied around his neck, and then to be severely flogged, to have his right ear cut off, and be banished for fifty years.

He went to Bergen, New Jersey and died there

(1) He died January 14, and was buried on January 16, 1666 at the Dutch Reformed Church burial ground in Bergen (now Jersey City), New Jersey.

He married first, about 1639, Ijtie "Ytie" Jans, perhaps a sister of Gerrit Jansen of Oldenburg, Holstein, who was a sponsor for her daughter Margaret's baptism. Ytie was still living in 1684.

On November 25, 1658, she was sentenced to a whipping and banishment for living in adultery with Jan Parcell. John Parcell, alias Borcher, of Huntingdonshire, Eng., for living in adultery with Ytie Jans, to be placed at the whipping post with two rods in his arms, to be banished for 20 years, and pay a fine of 100 guilders ($40), with costs. A petition submitted to the Council on December 12, 1658 by John Parcell and Ytie Jans, two sorrowful sinners, ask for pardon and leave to marry. The Council allowed them to remain three months to settle their affairs, but must separate from each other at once.

Official records become strangely silent at this point, but Jan must have found a way to marry Ytie, since a wife by that name survived him and was his widow in 1684.

They provided a home for their children from previous marriages and at least two of their own. (2) On June 13, 1674, Ytie was named as a sponsor at the baptism of Catharine, daughter of son Hans.

Jan Parcell died in 1677, his will proved on September 28, of that year. Ytie, along with step-sons John and Thomas Parcell, appear on the rate list of Newtown in 1683.

In March 1684 she petitioned the Council concerning a dispute over lands near Gravesend - the last time her name appears in the public records.

His second wife was Grietje Jans, said to be the sister of his first wife. Their banns of marriage were proclaimed for the first time on December 3, 1665. After three proclamations, Lourens Duyts and Grietje Jans were married on January 1, 1666, in Bergen, New Jersey. Theirs was the first marriage recorded at the Bergen Dutch church. ^[1]

Grietje survived her husband and testified in the New York court on January 25, 1668. Perhaps a fitting epitaph is the fact that even after death his name appeared in the court minutes. A dispute arose between two parties over the disposition of fifty schepels of Lauren's wheat, brought by his widow in a canoe to New Amsterdam (called New York City by this date).

Children

Children by his first marriage were:

1. Margaret, Bapt. December 23, 1639; m. Abodia Wouters(7)
2. Jan Laurens, Bapt. March 23, 1642; d. 1679; m. 1st, Jannetje Jeuriaens, October 2, 1667, and 2nd, Neeltje Adriaens, September 27, 1673 (8)
3. Hans Laurens, Bapt. September 28, 1644; d. after 1706; m. 1st, Marritje Satyrs [prob. Mary Sawtelle], and 2nd, Mrs. Sarah (------) Fountain

Research Notes

• The name of Dye is thought to be a corruption of the Danish name, Duyts, changed at first to Dey, Deay, Die, Day and other variations, and finally Anglicized to Dye. There were Dyes from England and Deys from Holland who lived in the same areas of New York and New Jersey as did Laurens Duyts descendants. Adding to the confusion, "Duytsman" to the early Dutch settlers was a German, although it is well established that Laurens was of Danish extraction.

• Jan Parcell had four children, two of whom were probably from his first marriage. Son William and daughter Catharine were probably from his second marriage, while Thomas and John were born earlier. Laurens and Ytie's son, Jan, leased a farm at Dutch Kills, Long Island, on the 8th of January 1669, from Jan Parcell, and lived there at the time of his second marriage in 1673. Son, Hans, is also mentioned in Newtown records and married the daughter of a Newtown resident. Jan and Hans' sister, Margaret, apparently also resided in Newtown for a time.

• On November 25, 1658, Grietje Jansen, for living in adultery with Laurens Duyts, was to be conducted to the whipping post, and fastened thereto, the upper part of her body being stripped naked, and two rods placed in her hands, to be afterwards conducted, in that manner, outside the city gates, and banished from the province for the term of thirty years, with costs.

• Kuyter's life in New Netherland was certainly not without incident. He persevered despite enormous odds in an attempt to develop his land on the flats of Harlem. Added to his frustrations on this score, he incurred the wrath of Governor Caught, when he stood alone with the unimpeachable churchman, Dominie Boards, in condemning Kieft's Indian policies and informed the Directors of the Dutch West India Company of Kieft's misrule. Pieter Stuyvesant, who succeeded Kieft, inherited his hatred of Kuyter. Kuyter was fined one hundred and fifty guilders and sentenced to three years in exile. A twist of fate put the retiring Kieft and Dominie Bogardus on the same Netherland-bound ship with Kuyter. The ship wrecked on the rocky coast of Wales and many persons were killed, including Caught and Boards.

• Kuyter was miraculously saved and returned, first to Holland for exoneration, and then back to New Amsterdam, where he was promptly reinstated in his several offices and in the good graces of Stuyvesant. As he was attempting to improve his land once again, this time with Stuyvesant and others as partners, he was murdered by Indians on March 2, 1654.

• Jonas Bronck, the first recorded white settler of Westchester County, New York, erected on his land a stone house covered with tile, barns,barracks, and a tobacco house. He died in 1643, leaving among his effects a Danish and Latin library containing books on theology, medicine and law.

• Pieter Andriessen eventually moved to Long Island, where he was to learn about Indian raids from personal experience. On October 13, 1655, he and five other persons were attacked at his home, four wounded and all captured. It is probable that he was one of the many captives who were later released for ransom by the Indians.

• A daughter, Maria, was baptized in 1671 at the New York Dutch Church. It is assumed that Abodia Wouters is the same as Obadiah Winters who lived in Newtown, Long Island in 1659 and later removed to Woodbridge, New Jersey. Jan lived in Harlem until 1669, when he removed to Long Island.

• Jan lived in Harlem until 1669, when he removed to Long Island.

Laurens Duyts, a Dane, born in Holstein in 1610, was the progenitor of one of the Dye families in America. He died January 14, and was buried on January 16, 1668 at the Dutch Reformed Church burial ground in Bergen (now Jersey City), New Jersey. Nothing is known about his parents or the town of his birth.

He married first, about 1639. Ytie Jans, perhaps a sister of Gerrit Jansen of Oldenburg, Holstein, who was a sponsor for her daughter Margaret's baptism. Ytie was still living in 1684. On November 25, 1658, she was sentenced to a whipping and banishment for living adultery with Jan Parcell. John Parcell, alias Botcher, of Huntingdonshire, Eng., for living in adultery with Ytie Jans, was to be placed at the whipping post with two rods in his arms, to be banished for 20 years, and pay a fine of 100 guilders with costs. In a petition submitted to the by John Parcell and Ytie Jans, "two sorrowful sinners", ask for pardon and "leave to marry". The Council allowed then to remain three months to settle their affairs, "but must separate from each other at once." Official records become strangely silent at this point, but Jans must have found a way to marry Ytie, since a wife by that named survived him and was his widow in 1684. They provided a home for their children from previous marriages and at least two of their own. On June 13, 1674, Ytie was named as sponsor at the baptism of Catherine, daughter of son Hans. Jan Parcell died in 1677, his will proved on September 28 of that year. Ytie, along with stepsons John and Thomas Parcell, appear on the rate list of Newtown in 1683. In March 1684, she petitioned the Council concerning a dispute over lands near Gravesend. This is the last time the name appears in public records.

His second wife was Grietje Jans, is said to be the sister of his first wife. The banns for this marriage were proclaimed for the first time on December 3, 1665. After three proclamations, Laurens and Greitje were married on January 1, 1666 in Bergen, New Jersey. Theirs was the first such ceremony of record at the Dutch church in this newly-formed settlement. Grietje survived her husband and testified in the New York court on January 18, 1668.

Both Laures Duijts and Ytie Jans signed the intention; which leads me to wonder if this is the same couple who appeared in New Amsterdam - the various documents which are supposedly signed by Laurens Duijyts in New Amsterdam are signed by mark - but this is only reported second-hand in compiled sources. Has anyone seen any of the originals (microfilm or otherwise)? It seems unlikely that a man who could sign his name in Amsterdam would use a mark in New Amsterdam...
