== Biography ==
: Known most commonly as Annetje Lodewycks, may have been a half sister to Dirck and Elizabeth, in as much as Lodewyck de Jong appeared as a sponsor to the baptism of Annetje's first child. proponents of this theory point out that the mother of the family, Harmtje, widow of Jan, probably married Lodwyck de Jong in Holland and he probably sponsored the family, Elizabeth and Dirck, children of the first marriage, and Annetje, his own daughter, in the move to America. It is fairly certain that the mother came to America, but in all land transactions she is known merely, as Harmtje Jans with Lodewijck never appears in the picture.
: She lived to a ripe old age and owned considerable property in Long Island and Brooklyn and died after 1765. This would make Annetje born probably in 1636, half sister to the other two children. At her marriage in 1655, she names her self "annetje Loderwycks Van Amsterdam" (Annetje Lode(r)wycks of Amsterdam).
: note that it is conceivable, and there is indication in the records, that she was a little older than assumed and she came to America as the widow or wife of Lodowyck de Jong. This would then make the Lodowyck de Jong, sponsor of her first child, a nephew or other other relative; or this could have been an attempt to name the father of the child of a previous marriage. :Maybe this is the marriage ? :<br> inschrijvingsdatum: 18-08-1646<br> name groom- naam bruidegom: ''' Jansen, Lodewijk'''<br> name bride-naam bruid: '''Willems, Annetje'''<ref> Source: Stadsarchief Amsterdam: bronverwijzing: DTB 463, p.379 opmerkingen: Huwelijksintekeningen van de KERK</ref>
