Misc. Notes
Joris may have been a member of a group of people known as “Walloons. [3507, p.16], [3519, p.40], [3574, p.113], [3576, p.44] [8222]

Macy clarifies that the Eendracht was the ship carrying Joris RAPALJE and Catalina TRICO. It left Amsterdam, 25-JAN-1624. Whereas the Nieuw Nederland was a separate ship which left “on or after” 30-MAR-1624. [3581] “Eendracht” means “unity.”

Joris was a member of "The Twelve Men of Nieuw Amsterdam.” [3579, p.91], [5064, p.415] (See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Men)

There is much uncertainty regarding the parents of Joris JANSEN. Some say his father was the Flemish painter, Abraham Janssens (aka “Abraham Van Nuyssen JANSSEN” or “Abraham Janssens van Nuyssen”). There used to be a Findagrave Memorial# 33564498 for him, but as of 17-JUN-2016, that memorial no longer exists. Wikipedia says the painter lived from 1575-1632, though there is no mention of a son named Abraham. But the dates do make it possible for him to have been Joris’ father. The same missing Findagrave Memorial claimed that Joris’ mother’s maiden name was LODEWYCK.

Bogart claims Joris' father was Gaspard Colet DE RAPALJE, born in Sur Loire, France, 1505, but that does not fit well with the date of Joris' birth. [3495, p.91] Additionally, his claim was refuted in 2006 by Dobson. [3580] Bogart also managed to work in that Flemish painter as Gaspard’s father-in-law.

Another source claims Joris’ parents were Jean RAPAREILLET and <unknown> LODEWICK. [3522] Or, Jean RAPAREILLET and Elizabeth BAUDOIN.

In 1637 Joris purchased 335 acres of land on Wallabout Bay, in what is, today, Brooklyn, New York. Today this area is part of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. [8229]
Further south in Brooklyn, today, is “Rapelye Street” which is interrupted by Interstate 278. It is not clear that this bears any relationship to the “Rapelje Street” which existed in 1835, as part of the larger “Rapelje Property” that went up for sale that year. [8230]
