Notes for Jan Lubbertse VAN BLARCOM
Jan was one and a half years old when his parents left Holland. The first actual American record concerning him was the 1654 Dutch patent granting him 25 morgens of land on Bergen Neck. We do not know if he was living there during the Indian raid. He was granted small burgher rights in 1657 in New Amsterdam. In 1658 the settlers on the west side of the Hudson petitioned to be able to return to the Bergen Neck area. In some of the documents Jan Lubbertsen was referred to as Jans Captain. The source of this name has not been discovered.
At the time of his marriage in 1659 Jan was probably living on his land on Bergen Neck. At about the same time New Netherland authorities insisted the settlers band together in fortified villages. Jan sold his Bergen Neck land to Hendrick Janse Spier and obtained land near the new village of Bergen, now present day Jersey City. This is probably where he lived and raised his family. He had a 9 and a 1/2 care woodlot between Bergen Avenue and Westside Avenue a little south of Communipaw Avenue.1639
