  • Notes 
    • Most authors of historical manuscripts, articles and books on the early settlement of New Amsterdam have seldom discussed her family origin, but some have cautiously implied that she was descended from William the Silent (1533-1584), Prince of Orange, who later became William the Tenth of Orange and William I of Holland.

      William the Silent was born in 1533 and married four times. In addition to the legitimate children by each of his wives, he is known to have had a mistress named Eve Elincx and a son educated under the name of Justin of Nassau, but the "legend of Anneke Jans" also claims that he had had a clandestine relationship with someone whose name is not to be known and that two children by this union were given the surname Webber. It is thus alleged that one of these children, Wolfert Webber, married Tryntje Jonas, the known mother of Anneke and of other children named Wolfert, Marritje and Ariaentje. Records have proven that Marritje was a sister of Anneke but there is no evidence to prove that she had a brother Wolfert or a sister Ariaentje.

      It is then claimed that Anneke Webber married Roelof Jansen and thereafter was known as Anneke Jans. Numerous published items, many in the possession of this writer, have unwittingly and without proof thus woven an intricate and detailed family relationship among early Webber-Sybrant-Selyns-Cocks-Wallis families to conveniently strengthen the legendary, yet spurious, descent of Anneke Jans from the Royal Line of William the Silent.

      This writer will not lend any credence whatsoever to this fabrication by expounding on these family relationships, and it is hoped future generations of Anneke Jans' descendants will, in all honesty, view this legend as "early American folklore". There is not a single thread of evidence to support the descendancy of Anneke Jans from William the Silent.
