General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] de Voss


Jan de Voss married Prientje Batten (four children); he was a Burgomaster at Handshooten, in Flandern, about 1550; his fourth son, Peter, married Jannicke Van der Mers; their first child was Peter de Voss; the second, born August 23, 1622, at Colchester (first date we have). Shortly after their marriage they had to flee on account of his religion to Colchester, England, where he, with his wife, left Popedom and joined the Reformed church, and had born to them three children. After living at Colchester for some time with his wife and three children, who were born there, he moved to Amsterdam, Holland, where he, with his wife, connected themselves with the Mennonite church, and three more children were born to them. The De Voss family is intermarried with the Van der Smisson and the Roosen families.
