Biography

Brant Artz (later Brant Aertsz van Slichtenhorst) was born in Nijkerk abt. 1587, on 19 December 1613 he married Altgen (Aeltjen) van Wenckum and they had children.
On 8 July 1623 they bought a house in Amersfoort (adress in de Muerhuysen, in de ouden Lombert , by 't Gevangenhuys = street or district , near de prison) and they were registered as churchmembers there on 26 September 1635. (with certification of|met attestatie van Harderwijk)
His wife Aeltje probably died in Amersfoort in or short before 1641, because Brant van Slichtenhorst was registered/went to the Orphanage chamber in 1641.

"Brant Aertsz van Slichtenhorst, from Nykerck, [province of Gelderland]. According to O'Callaghan, History of New Netherland, 2:69, van Slichtenhorst was appointed director of the colony [Rensselaerswyck] Nov. 10, 1646, and sailed with his family and servants for Virginia Sept. 26, 1647. The records of the colony show that he arrived March 22, 1648, and held the office of director till July 24, 1652, when he was succeeded by Jan Baptist van Rensselaer. Between June 29, 1651 and July 24, 1652, van Slichtenhorst was most of the time at the Manhatans and J. B. van Rensselaer acted in his stead, for the first two months apparently in conjunction with Capt. Slijter. April 4, 1640, de Hooges complained to the council that Director van Slichtenhorst had thus far rendered no accounts. The director replied that hy wel wat souwde ontfangen dan dat het Antonij de Hooges heeft opgesnapt (that he would have received something if Antonij de Hooges had not gobbled it up). Van Slichtenhorst was still in the colony in July 1655 and lived in Holland in 1660." ^[1] He died short before and was buried in Nijkerk on 26 September 1666 ^[2]

Death-Burial

In 1660 Brant Atz van Slichtenhorst returned to Holland and his son Gerrit seems to have represented Van Slichtenhorst family interests in America after that. In that year, he was counted among the most prominent Beverwyck-based fur traders. In 1668, two years after his fathers death, Gerrit also made a trip to the Netherlands to deal with his father's estate.^[8]
