    Notes: Gerrit Dircksen Croesen joined the Brooklyn Dutch Reformed Church by transfer from Winschoten in 1661. He owned a 25 acre farm in the Gowanus Colony. Upon his death in 1680 his widow Neeltje Jans married her neighbor Volkert Hendricksen Bries. On 29 Sept 1677 Gerrit had been granted a 172 acre land patent on the North Shore of Staten Island. His two sons, Derrick and Hendrick, and possibly his daughter Elsje, relocated there. Gerrit's will had burned in a fire at the county clerk's house and a dispute arose in the 1690s between the sons Derrick and Hendrick over the patent. It was settled around 1709 when it was sold. Hendrick bought a neighboring 54 acre farm and Derrick resettled in Bucks County PA.
