Whenthe British took over New Amsterdam and renamed it New York in 1664, they confiscated Anneke's land, on which the Trinity Church was latererected. In 1760, in Janse heirs brought suit to recover the lands from TrinityChurch and in a trial which lasted two days and almost two nights, they weredefeated. The case has been in the law for nearly twenty years and hadattracted wide attention. There was an Anneke Jans spoon, made by the J H Johnson & Company ofNew York City, New York. It was offered in several styles and includedother table utensils with the same motif. I's interesting that, in the sameadvertisement, the company offered a commemorative series for General W T Sherman,who is a cousin of several descendent lines of Jans and who solidly connects tothe NESBITT-CRARY Genealogy. Also died; 19 MAR 1662. Will dated; 29 JAN 1663. Aka, Anetje. The VINCENT family is descended from Anneke Janse through her daugterSarah, by her first husband, Roeloff Jansen.
