| Jacob Leisler, the best known German in New Netheriand in the seventeenth century, came to New Netheriand in 1660, sailing as a soldier, by the Otter (April 27). In the ship’s list of passengers he is called “Jacob Leyseler. from Franckfort,” probably Frankfurt am Main, to which his father, a clergyman, had been driven by persecution from the Palatinate. On April 11, 1660, he married Elsje Tymens, who had Norwegian blood in her veins, being a niece of the famous Anneke Jans, from Marstrand, Norway. |
