From "The Hardenbergh Family", by Myrtle Hardenbergh Miller:

"Jan Jansen Van Breestede resided on High Street, New York. He was a cooper. In 1658 he was appointed marker, or gauger, of beer barrels. In 1668 he was inspector of pipe staves and meat packing. In 1674 he was fire warden. From Court Minutes, New Amsterdam appear: March 19, 1658, Jan Jansen Van Breestede, cooper, being sent for to Court, appearing, is asked, as he is petitioned to be marker of beer barrels, how much he will charge a piece? He places the charge at one stiver per half barrel with approval of the magistrates. The magistrates allowed him the time of one year, and shall enjoy him two stivers for each, but the increasing or diminishing lies at the pleasure of the Burgomaster.

Oct. 4, 1661, City Hall. Paulus Schrick v/s Jan Jansen van Breste, demands 5 1/2 beavers for a barrel of pork. Defendant says there is coming yet to him 54 guilders and 7 stivers, wages from Johannes van Beeck, deceased, whose widow plaintiff has married. Plaintiff says that does not concern him. Burgomasters and Schepens, having heard parties, decree, whereas sewant, in the time that Van Beeck, deceased, was indebted, was as good as beavers, that the debts shall be set off against each other; therefore order Paulus Schrick to pay the defendant 10 guilders and 7 stivers.

Oct. 10, 1661. Same case. Paulus Schrick v/s Jan Jansen van Breste. Requests reconsideration of debt, as according to the marriage contract he has nothing to do with his wife's debts ... Defendant says that the plaintiff applied to him twice for the account, he offered him payment, producing in effect two witnesses. Plaintiff denies not that he offered payment but says it was in sewant... Burgomasters and Schepens persist in their rendered judgment of Oct. 4th past. ...

She was married to *Ferdinando VanSicklen about 1660 in New York. From "Famous Families of New York" by Margherita Arlina Hamm, pages 227-235:

"In Holland, the family belonged to the agricultural class, and held many positions indicative of importance in the State. they were Syndics, Burgomasters, elders and deacons, lieutenants and captains, merchants and divines. Anthony van Sicklen was one of the Protestants who emigrated from Catholic Belgium (from Ghent), in 1566, to Protestant Holland, where he became a Councillor from the province of Zeeland, representing that province and signing the Pacification of Ghent, with William the Silent and the other Dutch representatives....

The founder [of American branch of the family] was Ferdinandus (1635), who at the age of seventeen came to New Amsterdam, where he stayed a year or more, and then settled in Flatlands, Long Island. Here he soon had a large farm, and was doing a profitable business with Brooklyn and New Amsterdam. He married Eva Antonise Jansen, by whom he had three sons and five daughters. These children were strong and sturdy and must have been of invaluable service to their parents. In the dutch families at that time the boys aided the father upon the land and with the live stock, while the girls helped the mother in the care of the house, the management of the poultry-yard and dairy, and in spinning, weaving, and dyeing.

The father of Eva, the wife of Ferdinandus, was Antony Jansen, known as Antony Jansen van Salee, and sometimes as Antony Jansen van Fez, from his having lived for some time in Morocco at the cities of Salee and Fez: he had carried out practically the motto of his Beggars' Badge: "Liver Turc dan Paus," (literally, "Rather Turk than Papist"), becoming a freebooter and capturing Spanish and other Catholic ships. This Beggars' Badge, which is in the possession of Mr. George W. van Siclen, was one of the most famous coins or badges of Europe, being in the shape of a crescent, and having on the obverse the other motto: "En tout fidelle au Roi" (In all things faithful to the king). this was the motto of the Dutch Protestants who rebelled against the Spanish Inquisition, yet claimed to remain faithful to Philip II. The crescent was the badge of the "Beggars of the Sea", while the badge of the "Gueux" or Beggars of the Land had for motto, "En tout fidele au roi jusqu'a porter la besace" (In all things faithful to the king, even to carrying a beggar's sack), because a Spanish count, when Brederode and the Dutch nobles came to King Philip's representative with a petition against the Inquisition, said, scornfully: "Here come those beggars." The latter badge had the portrait of Philip II, on one side, and on the reverse a beggar's sack with two hands clasped through the strap, and pendant from the sides of the metal badge two metal gourds or bottles, and from the bottom, a cup; at Mr. van Sicklen's suggestion this was adopted as the badge of the Holland Society of New York, and is made by Tiffany from a model sent by the Numismatic Society of Amsterdam. Antony Jansen van Salee was called "The Turk", and received from Governor William Kieft a grant of land where Bensonhurst now stands; it is known to this day in the abstracts of title as "The Turk's Plantation"....

From Ferdinandus (1635) and his wife Eva are descended all the Van Siclens in America. Before 1566, the Van Sicklen family were living in Ghent continuously from A.D. 1338, and prior, often serving as 'echevins', or members of the city council. George van Sicklen was abbot of St. Bavon, A.D. 1405. The family were Normans and came to Ghent from Amiens. A stone residence is standing in Ghent to-day (1902) which was standing there in A.D. 1338, and is always has been known as "De Groote Sickele" and "La Grande Faucille," belonging to the Van Sicklen family; it has lately been purchased by the municipality of Ghent and is to be used as a museum of antiquities; it is built of rough-hewn stone, "Belgian pavement," and is about one hundred feet square.

Not far from the Van Siclen homestead (near Van Siclen Station on the Brooklyn Elevated) was the settlement of the Canarsie Indians, who proved kind neighbors, and a warm friendship sprang up between them and the family. The children used the camp as a playground, and picked up a knowledge of the Indian tongue. This idle accomplishment had singular consequences. In each generation during the following century at least one Van Siclen was the official interpreter of the Dutch, and afterwards of the British government. Several of them became so much attached to the redmen that they left their homes and lived with and ruled the latter. One of them, tradition says, became a titular chief, and transmitted his complimentary title through several generations."
