Note: B. or Bap. Dec. 9, 1694. Per Van Liew Genealogy, published 1910 St. Louis Mo, by Thomas L Van Liew. ID: I0060 Name: Dinah Aeltje VANLIEU Sex: F Birth: 9 DEC 1694 in Jamaica, Long Island, New York Death: WFT Est. 1741-1789 in ? Note: Dinah's father was Frederick Hendrickse VAN LIEUW (there are many variations on the spelling of his surname, including Van Lieu and Van Leeuwen), who was born about 1650 in Utrecht. Her mother was Dinah Janse (or Jans, b. ca. 1660). She married Frederick on 2 Oct 1681. They lived in Jamaica [a town in Queens, northeast of Brooklyn] on a relatively prosperous farm. There is a record that they sold some land that they held jointly with Dinah's sister and brother-in-law in Jamaica in 1699. Dinah's mother was Dinah Jans, the daughter of Jan Jansen of Brooklyn. Her sister Aeltje Jans married Jan Frederickse about 1676 and lived in Brooklyn. Frederickse, coincidentally, was listed in 1657 as being the eight-year-old "servant" and possibly a stepson of Jan de Perie - in that same year, Dirck Volckertszen stabbed de Perie in an argument about a dice game. Also, by coincidence (?) many of Jan and Aeltje's descendants - under the new "English" surname of BLAW, BLAUW or BLAU - moved to the Somerville-Raritan area of Somerset County, New Jersey. One descendant, a Margaret FISHER, married John FULKERSON in 1821. Volkert and Dinah moved their family to Somerset County, New Jersey, where his father and two uncles were operating a mill. Volkert's father Dirck Volkertse died in 1754, aged 87. It appears that Volkert stayed in New Jersey long enough to see his father's estate settled - he didn't get much out of it, as he already owed his father money, but the will did name Volkert's ten children for posterity. Volkert then determined to move his family south to less crowded regions in the Carolinas. However, Volkert died near the Virginia-North Carolina border, sometime around 1755. Dinah continued the journey with her family and arrived in Rowan County, North Carolina. There they re-established their roots, many of them obtaining large properties.
