Notes for Auke Jans VAN NUYS
Auke Jans emigrated in 1651 from Amsterdam. He resided first in New Amsterdam where he sold his house to Hendrick Hendricksen Kip. He resided at Brooklyn in 1661, in Flatlands in 1665 and Flatbush in 1669. He was a carpenter and built the church in Flatbush in 1654 and in 1660 was appointed schepen in 1673 under Governor Colve. He took the oath of allegiance in 1687.
This particular line is a good example of the "oddities" of patronymics. Some of the children of Jan Auke and Evertje Jans "took" the surname VAN NUYS, whereas his son, Jan AUKE married to Helena Martensen RYERSEN seems to have maintained the surname AUKE, as seen at the baptisms of his children.
