Notes for Jan Janse VAN STEENBERGEN
He was among the very earliest residents at Esopus. In 1658 he signed the agreement to concentrate the scattered settlement and erect a stockade; in 1662 he owned a lot in the village; in 1667, at the time of the so-called mutiny, he was one of the burghers who took up arms against the English garrison; and in fact he figured quite extensively in the small community for years.8322
