- [S6793] Smith, Julie Campbell, Find a Grave - Ancestor (Campbell): WESTFALL Johannes, (Name: SmithLC.com;), WESTFALL Johannes Jurian 1659-1725.
Johannes was the third child born to Juriaen Westfall and Marretje Hansen. He was born at a Dutch settlement along Esopus Creek that was chartered by the Dutch as the city of Wiltwyck in 1661. There is no Kingston Dutch Church record of his christianing as it was not started until 1661. The British took over Dutch lands in 1664 and Wiltwyck renamed Kingston, New York in 1669. Johannes was age eight when his father died in 1667 and he was raised by his fathers close friend Thomas Chambers, at his Kingston estate "Ye Manor of Fox Hall". This manor was granted by the British to Thomas in gratitude for his help. Johannes wed Marretje, daughter of Jacob Barentsen Cole (Kool) and Marretje Symons Floriszen at the Kingston Dutch Reformed Church on January 28, 1683.

Reymerig died soon thereafter and Hans married Jannetje Van Leeuwen at New Utrecht, Long Island. They had seven children. Marretje was eventually bound out to a tavern keeper at Fort Orange (Albany, NY) and in 1653, at the age of seventeen, wed Juriaen Westfall.
In 1654, Juriaen and others moved to the Esopus Creek area to establish a settlement. This was chartered by the Dutch as the city of Wiltwick (Kingston, NY) in 1661.
