All gathered from the Ulster Co. Genealolical Society and a copy of the book "The De Witt Family of Ulster County, New York" by Thomas G. Evans a gold mine for researchers. I also have the documentation to show the direct liniage to Jan and Cornelius De Witt, I'll include at the bottom of this listing.

Now the Jan and Cornlius connecion:
Thre is no dout that this De Witt family line is of the De Witt of Dordrecht line, and unbroken line from 1295 to 9/8/1639 this info. can be found in the Royal Library at the Hague, the "Geschlacten Von Dordrich" which gives the info. untill 9/1634. Now the folowing info. from that point on comes from the following resorces.
