      == Biography ==
      Otto, son of Louwerens Jans and Stijntjen Pieters was baptized in Oost Vlieland (West Frisia, Netherlands), on 4 October 1644. His parents were from Amsterdam and he was born aboard a ship.<ref name=Bapt>Alle Friezen [https://www.allefriezen.nl/zoeken/deeds/86cb7301-610f-40c9-9dd7-4b33870b752e?person=743aad9f-4544-4aea-aea3-0396bfd4dec4 Baptism 10 April 1644] Baptism Bronvermelding Doopboek Herv. gem.

      He emigrated to New Netherland, apparently in the company of his parents.
      <blockquote>..Peter, (eldest son of Louris Jansen Opdyck,) upon the occasion of the division of his father's estate, voluntarily surrenders to "his mother Stincha Loras" the interest of his portion, "for the bringing up his younger brother," to whom he leaves the principal in case he die first; "his young brother" also leaving to Peter his whole portion in case of death; - a pleasing evidence of mutual affection. The following year, Lourens Petersen conveys lot number 34 at Gravesend, with farming implements, to Peter and Otto, for their shares of the estate. Peter and Otto at the same time acknowledge the receipt, from their "father-in-law" (a very common expression in those days for step-father) Lourens Petersen, of 300 guilders, the portion of "their brother Johannes Loras, according to the dividend of the estate of their deceased father Loras Johnson." They also agree to pay to "their mother Stincha Loras" interest on Johannes' portion, for his support. Two years later Christina, "in behalf of her sons Otto Loras and Johannes Loras," ratifies a sale of the farm made by her son Peter. <br>9 January 1662: In Witnesse wereunto for the confirmation heareof the said pties have sett their hands the day and yeare above written.

      Otto Laurenszen from Mispadt (interpreted as Mespath on Long Island, New York) was married to Marritje Jans of New Yorcke, the widow of Jan Jilleszen, in the Reformed Dutch Church of New Amsterdam on 20 February 1667.
      Otto Louronson is mentioned in a Staten Island court record from 1681: <blockquote>"At a Court healt on staton Island by the Constabell and over sears of the seam on this presont Munday being the 3 day of October 1681 '''Otte Louronson''' Plf in A Action of debt Edward Marshell (Juner) deft to the valew of - - - - 4.3.4. the Court ordreth upon Balanc of A . , Count the deft to pay to the plf the sum of 3 2s.
