      == Biography == <blockquote> Dirck Keyser, the Founder of the family in America, was born in abt 1645 (at the first marriage it says he is 22 years of age and he is assisted by his guardian Gerrit (?) van de Wyngaert) he was up to the time of his departure for Germantown enofaofed in the manufacture and sale of all kinds of silk and silk wares, on Printzen Graght opposite Reestraat in Amsterdam. His marriage with his first wife, Elizabet ter Himpel is recorded with the formalities belonging to a man of prominence; the banns were published at Amsterdam, in all the churches, and on the 22d of November, 1668, the marriage formally solemnized in the church at Buyckesloot, in the presence of the Lord and congregation. She died Monday, the 12th of May, 1681, aged forty-three years six months.By this marriage he had two sons Dirck, and Pieter Dircks Keyser; and one daughter Elizabet, who died June 23, 1681. He married a second time, Johanna Harperts Snoeck also in the church at Buyckesloot on the 22d of November, 1682. She lived only four years, and on Thursday, the 29th of August, 1686, was buried from his residence on the Printzen Graght in the Wester Kerk, in the thirty-eighth year of her age. By this marriage he had a daughter Johanna and one Cornelia who died 22 Oct. 1686. Two years after, in 1688, he emigrated with his little motherless family from Amsterdam, then being fifty-three years of age. He brought with him his sons, Pieter Dircks, and Dirck by the first wife; and his daughter Johanna by his second wife, the survivors of the family of five children. They arrived in New York in the fall of the year 1688; his daughter Johanna, a little girl five years old, died on their way to Germautown in September that year. He could not remember the day she was buried, but the place was on a plantation named Congenaue between that city and Philadelphia. Dirck passed away on Nov. 30, 1714, in Germantown. <ref>The bicentennial reunion of the Keyser family. 1688-1888.[https://archive.org/stream/bicentennialreun00keys/bicentennialreun00keys_djvu.txt The Keyser family, descendants of Dirck Keyser of Amsterdam"]</ref></blockquote>
