Jacob Janse Loockermans also settled in Beverwyck, as early as 1657.
On the 28th of July, in that year, the Sheriff brought a suit against him for
having assaulted Meuwes Hogenboom, and split his face open from his
forehead to his under lip with his knife ; he was find 300 guilders ($120),
and ordered to pay for loss of time, board, and surgical attendance. In
May, 1664, he and John Davits were Commissioners to negotiate a treaty
of peace between the Mohawks and the Northern Indians, or Abenaquis,
which they successfully concluded at Narrington, on the 24th of that month.
In A[jril, 1667, he purchased a house and lot in Albany, of Wiilem Jansen
Schudt, and another July 25, 1684, of Laurence Van Alen. On the 24th
of August, 1685, he obtained a ficense to travel, trade, and hunt among
the Indians, as far as the Wagganasse and Attawaasse (Ottawas), with a
company of thirty men. He was probably the Captain Loquerman, who,
with Arian Abrahamse Schuyler and Jean Blaquerd, were detained as hos¬
tages in Canada by Gov. Denonville, while awaiting a reply to his letter to
Gov. Dongan, dated Oct, 2, 1687, in which he complained of the infraction
of the late treaty of peace by the English. He was living Aug. 18, 1700,
at which date he was a sponsor at the baptism, in Albany, of his grandson
Jacob, the son of Wessels Ten Broeck and Caatje Loockermans, who were
married in Albany, April 2, i684.f

Anneken [Ann] Loockermans, j, d. Van Turnhont, married Feb. 26,
1642, Oloft Stephenszen [Van Cortlandt] j. m. Van Wyck in Duurs-
tede. She probably came out with her brother Govert, on his return to
New Netherland in Nov., 1641, her name first appearing in the records as
one of the witnesses at the baptism, Dec. i, 1641, of his eldest dau. Mar¬
ritje. I.T). the M'embers Book of the Dutch Church in New York, her hus¬
band's name is recorded Adolph Stephenszen Van Courtb, and at the
baptism of their children, Olof Stephenszen Van Courtlant and Van Court¬
landt. The name is now spelled, we believe, by the family. Van Cort¬
landt.
