Jan Middagh was born in New Amsterdam in 1662. He was baptised at the Brooklyn Dutch Reformed Church on December 24, 1662. His parents were Aert Middagh and Breckje Hansen. It is known that Jan and his brother Joris moved to Ulster County, but the date of the move is unclear, probably around 1685. Jan first appears in the records in Ulster County as a witness at a baptism in the Kingston DRC in 1686. Jan took the Oath of Allegiance in 1689, stating he was native, meaning born in New Amsterdam.
He married Geertje Klaarwater about 1695, probably in Ulster County, but the record of their marriage has not been found. Jan and Geertje are later recorded as man and wife, having children baptised at Kingston DRC, from 1696 to 1718. It is thought that they lived at this time in Raystetter (Rochester), and attended the Kingston DRC. Their two youngest children were baptised at Mackackemeck DRC in the Minisink area of Sussex County, New Jersey. Jan and Geertje were some of the first settlers in the Minisink area.
Jan was a witness at the baptism of Martin, son of Gerritt Boogard & Jannetje Martens, co-witness was Geertie Martins. He was also a witness at the baptism of Derick Weyne, son of Hendrick Weyne & Annetje Jansen, co-witness is Marritie Martens. It is believed that these two women were daughters of Martens Ysselstyn, and who later married Jacobus DeLaMater & Joris Middagh.
Jan died about 1740, but no record of his death has been found, nor any grave. He probably died in the Minisink area of Sussex County, New Jersey. During the time that Jan was alive, therer appears to have been two men named Jan Middagh in New Amsterdam, causing some research confusion.
