Jan Belyea - 1698 - 1756?
(Son of Lewis Belyea)

Jan is the son of Louis Boule. It is also reported in records at Sleepy Hollow that he was born on Long Island about 1698 to Louis Boule. It is also recorded in his marriage record that Jan lived in Long Island, NY before coming to the Philipsburg Manor in Tarrytown, NY.
I did encounter one very possible name match in the records of Ship Passenger Lists of NY and NJ (1600-1825) p 141. In those taking "Oath of Alligence" in Kings Co. NY September 26-30 in 1687. One JAN BUIJS, 39 years old of Breucklyn, NY. (Could be the brother of Louis) Also among those pledging alligiance to the King of England were many familiar names of other Tarrytown residence: Van Dyck, Jan Aertsen 26, Abramse, Cortjou (Cortlandts).
He is first recorded in the marriage record of Tarrytown, NY in the Old Dutch Reformed Church of Sleepy Hollow, dated November 29, 1719. Jan Beljee, born on Laungh Eylant and Helena Williemse* born - Philipsburg and both live here (Philipsburg). 7 Jan (John) pronounced "Yahn" was a member of the Old Dutch Reformed church in Tarrytown, NY. The church is across the street from the Philipsburg Manor where Helena was born, and later Hendreck was born.
Jan Beljee became an elder in the church and was frequently mentioned in the church register of members, marriages, baptisms.

NOTES:
* There is an interesting story about Helen (also known as Helena WILLEMZE or WILLIAMS): she was born about about 1697 in "Williamsburgh, NY" to a Robert Williams (etc.) and his wife. There, of course, was no New York in 1697 - this was a Dutch settlement - so it might be correct to say Williamsburgh, New Amsterdam. Williamsburgh still exists today as a part of Brooklyn and it's is probable that it got it's name from Helena's father.
