NOTES: 4554. Capt. Christoffel "Kit" Davids ...emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, and became a trapper and whiskey trader. He and his family were some of the first settlers of Schenectady, N.Y. and were in Albany N.Y. as early as 1638. He was a leader in the Indian wars, an Indian interpreter and always in trouble with the authorities. -- http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/f/u/l/Jeffrey-P-Fuller/GENE2-0045.html; http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/e/t/h/James-R-Etherton/GENE3-0014.html "... (In 1647) Ryck Rutgers, was involved in a general melee. One supposed this... took place in a tavern. Kit Davids hit Ryck in the head with a post, then hit Jan van Bremen in the head with a beer stein, and beat another man black and blue, while Jacob Flodder was busy using a beer stein on the head of Poulus the Norwegian." -- "The Wyckoff Family in America" 3rd Edition. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/r/o/Kathleen-Brooks/BOOK-0001/0013-0001.html "When Kit's first wife died, her father Andries, and (brother in law,) Catalyntje's husband, Arent Andriessen, where made curators of her estate, due to Kit's mismanagement of his children's inheritance... "...In 1653, (Kit) was accused of selling brandy to Indians against the wishes of the leaders of both the Dutch and the Indians. In 1657, he (was) sued for the rent of house but refused to pay on the grounds that he has was drunk at the time he signed the contract. In 1658, he was twice accused in court-once for striking a man and challenging him to fight (there was insufficient proof) and once for telling Esopus Indians that the Dutch planned to kill them, causing the Indians to take prisoners (Kit denied involvement and produced two witnesses). In 1665, Jacob Joosten, the court messenger of Kingston, was removed from his position because he had refused to summon Kit without an armed guard! In 1668/9, Kit started an argument with Eduward Whittakaer over a piece of land. Whittikaer drew his sword and Kit fought back with a cane that had a sword blade in it." -- http://www.boydhouse.com/michelle/gonzales/christoffeldavids/christoffeldavids.html During his interrogation on 3 Sep 1658, Davids was told to state his age and where he was from. He said he was from the "Bishopric of England", and 42 years old. The Church of England in 1658 was not under the episcopal ("bishopric") system, but presbyterian. The English and Dutch were at war with each other during this time, and continued to be at war when England returned to episcopalianism; so I have no idea what the political implications of Kit's comment might have been. Curiously, on the very date of Kit's interrogation in New Amsterdam, Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell died in England. |
A participant in the Davis Family Tree DNA Project, (#108035), and a user of Ysearch (#NJ597) both claim descent from George F. Davis, b. 1818 in Warwasing, Ulster, NY. George's line can be on FamilySearch and ancestry.com to (4554) Kit Davids.

Haplogroup I1 is mainly found in Scandanavia. It is also found in significant amounts throughout England, with the highest concentration apparently in Norfolk. The lowest British concentrations appear to be in the extremities of Wales. Among settlers of Britain, the Angles, Jutes, Danes and Norse were probably the principal contributors. We know Kit Davids came from England; the DNA evidence doesn't tell us much more, exept that he probably had no connection to the numerous Welsh Davies and related clans.

"'The Courageous Van Leuvens' by Elaine Egenes, says , on page 5,
"'Pieter Van Leeuwen [poss. (9104) Peter's kin? We don't know] mentioned as the Chief Prosecutor or Procureur General, of the province of Utrecht (next to the highest legal position in the state) who was one of the three men who conducted about 1620 the famous trial of John Van Oldenborneveldt in which the crowned Heads of all Europe were concerned, Prince Maurice of Nassau directly so.'
"'Van Leuven Genealogy', Book 1, by Audrey Van Leuven, did some research into this and says, 'from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. XLVIII, Dec. 1873 to May 1874. Complete story of John Van Oldenbarneveldt - pages 831 to 845. Quoting from page 842:
"'It was Sunday afternoon, May 12 (1619), and about half past five o'clock Barneveld sat in his prison chamber, occupied in preparations for his next encounter with his judges, eleven dys having elapsed since he had last appeared before them, when the door opened, and three gentlemen entered. Two were the prosecuting officers of the government, Fiscal Sylla and Fiscal Van Leeuwen.'
"It goes on to relate their bringing word to Barneveld that he was to appear before the judges the next morning to hear his sentence of death. After the shock of hearing this, Barneveld asked permission to write a farewell to his wife. Van Leeuwen asked the judges and permission was given. When he started to write, Sylla cautioned him lest he should writed something that might furnish cause for not delivering the letter.
"Barneveld asked 'Will you in these my last moments lay down the law to me as to what I shall write to my wife?' ... Van Leeuwen replied that they had no commission to lay down the law. 'Your worship will write whatever you like.'
"It says this was the final mention of Van Leeuwen in the article."
