Biography

Jan Willemsz Schut (Schuth) was a cooper by trade and appears first in the accounts under date of 1646. He was to have sailed by den Harinck in Sept. 1637, but for some reason failed to go and Frans Altersz, the cooper, came in his stead. In 1657, appears at Beverwyck Willem Jansz Schut, alias Dommelaer (the dozer), who was probably a son of Jan Willemsz Schut. ^[1][2][3][4] From Dan federico-35 from Find a grave info He was an ancestor of the Schutt Family in America. He made arrangements first to sail on "Den Harinck" from the Island of Texel, Holland, which arrived in New Amsterdam (now New York City) on March 28, 1638. Records have two ships arriving on the same day from Netherlands. He evidently followed almost immediately, for April 7, 1638 he was not only in New Amsterdam (New York City), but was appointed Assistant to the Commissionary of Provisions, to be paid. By April 11, 1640 he had become a deacon in the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam (New York City). In 1646 he was living in Rensselaerwyck, the vast estate of Patroon Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, comprising most of the present Rensselaer County, New York. He was listed as a cooper. Traditionally, a cooper is someone who makes wooden, staved vessels, held together with wooden or metal hoops and possessing flat ends or heads. Examples of a cooper's work include casks, barrels, buckets, tubs, butter churns, hogsheads, firkins, tierces, rundlets, puncheons, pipes, tuns, butts, pins and breakers.
