The Van Tuyl Genealogy, by Mary Ellenor Stafford Bowman.
Stories regarding Old Decatur House, across from the White House, Washington D.C., always include Baron Van Tuyl, Russian Minister to the United States, who lived there ca 1824, Marie Beal in her publication, "Decatur House and it's Inhabitants" (1954), refers to Baron Van Tuyl as " Major General Baron Feodor Vasil Teil-Van-Seroskerken." "Baron de Van Tuyl was a gentleman of eminence in Russia. As the name Van Scroskerken indicates, he was of Dutch extraction, like a number of the Russian nobility of that time. He had risen to the rank of a Major General in the Russian Army, and had been accorded the distinction of having an Island named after him by a Russian sea captain." (also see copies of the old newspaper, The Washington Post and Times Herald,Saturday 3-9-1957 p. A8, and Teusday 3-12-1957 p. B3.)
It has been pointed out that Otto is not a Dutch name but a German. However, living so close to Germany, it is probable that there was intermarriage. The final two paragraphs of the translation read as follows: "By royal decree of March 31, April 25, & 7 May 1822, it is ordained that all legitimate members of the house of Van Tuyl shall bear the title & style themselves Baron or Baroness."

A successful Gameren farmer, he incurred crushing debts after his first wife's death. He was the first Van Tuyl to leave no estate for his children. Death: Zuilichem Judicial Archives Geloftesignaat, 677:28, 26 Apr 1666. On this day Geerlof, Geertien and Geurt, children of the late Oth Jansz van Tuyl and Neelken Geerloffsdr, declared that they buried the dead body of their father, which they did in reverence to him, out of honesty and fatherly love, but not as heirs of their father, and only to assist with that which is required because of the death of their mother.

Notes on related first Dutch families of America includes the Van Tuyl's & reveals a bit of the history of the New Netherlands, the territory along the Hudson River of The Dutch West India Company (a group of Dutch trading merchants organized 1621), governed first by Peter Minuit in 1626 and last by Peter Stuyvesant in 1647 until 1664, when the English renamed it New York and New Amsterdam (Manhatten Island) became New York City.
These families, including the Van Tuyls, have helped to record early American history and have been recorded, in turn, as "the only legitimate nobility and lords of the soil....a roll equal to the Doomsday Book of William the Conquerer, and establishing the heroic origin of many an ancient aristocratical Dutch family." (Washington Irvings History of New York, Book VII, Chap. I)
Jan Otto Van Tuyl was involved in a bar room brawl where he knifed a man in the arm & the man bled to death. A Judge & Schepenen examined the evidence & delivered their verdict:"Death by sword & confiscation of property, so Jan Otten as a fugitive from justice sailed for America to try a new life in the New World.

Niece Ann Stilwill - need to find who her parents are of Benjamin's siblings

Child 8 - Benjamin Martineau
He too was listed in his fathers will. Then we find Benjamins will in US/Can 974.7 B4ne Vol 4 p.215 Which tells us He died 23 May 1824 (ae 82 yr.) which gives us a birth Yr.. of 1742.
Wendell Martineau's research on the family as pertaining to Benjamin Martineau and the questions & mystery surrounding "His" children & did he ever marry & were his children mothered by a slave in his household. This is quoting Wendell Martineau, researcher: "We have always assumed he never married and indeed we have no proof that he ever did. His will was written up in such an ingeneous & unique way, which made it the only way possible to straighten out his parent's family group sheet. His will ,dated 26 May 1824, mentioned almost every member of the family either by name or, "to my niece or nephew, son or daughter of one of his sisters or brothers." One very interesting thing noticed in his will is that he very highly favoured his nephew Stephen Kettletas Sr. And his children. US/Can B4ne 974.7 Vol. 4 p 227, gives the death date & age at death of Stephen Kettletas Sr.. Also his first wife, "Ardrea Britton", died in 1813 "Ann", his widow, no maiden name given, died 28 Feb 1864, some eighteen years after the death of Stephen himself.
One very strange but interesting document came to light. File # 36, Misc. A p.396, Aug 20 1824, will # 134, then gives reference to Benjamins will # 277. What is the connection ?. Quote " Kettletas, John, b Aug 1824, Addra, about 15; Peter about 13; Ann 8 or 9; Louisa, 4-5;" grand- children of Benjamin Martino", children of Guardian their father, Stephen Kettletas." That says that Stephen Kettletas was father of the children making him the son-in-law of "Benjamin Martino" the grandfather.Let us now consider each child in turn: Addra 15. 1824 less 15= 1809. She was the daughter of Ardea Britton, Stephen's first wife who died in" 1813 ". Peter 13; 1824 less 13= 1811. Child of Ardea Britton who died "1813". We take it that John b. Aug 1824, was child of Stephen's current wife, Ann. Ann 8-9: 1824- 8-9 was born in 1815 (after 1813), She has to be child of current wife "Ann". Louisa,4-5;1824 less 4-5 was born 1819 has to be child of current wife Ann . Stephen Kettletas Sr. died 2 Aug 1846, age 81 Yr 29 da... His will names "Ann" as his wife.
Louisa Kettletas married a Samuel Frost. They were highly favored by her father in his will. This Samuel Frost was named executor of the will of Ann Kettletas, (1864), mother of Louisa(Kettletas) and Grandmother of Louisa Frost. By Anns own admission she is the mother of the same Louisa Kettletas, grandaughter of "Benjamin Martino 1824". This tells me that Benjamin Martino of 1742-1824 had a daughter Ann, maiden name Martino. The best I can do at this point is list Benjamins wife as, Mrs.Benjamin Martino on his Fam. Grp Sheet, or he was never married.. From the 1850 census of Northfield, Richmond, N.Y. p. 267, we find one Samuel Frost, head of house hold, age 32. His wife Louisa, age 31; Henry,age 7; Stephen, age 5 Anne, age 3. Apparently under the same roof was, Samuel Frost ,age 71; Catherine Frost, age 69; and Ann Kettletas. All three living grandparents of the frost children were living in the Frost home.
One disturbing thing keeps coming up; in all the census we have only found Benjamin as head of house hold, no recorded wife, and 7 slaves. The one question then is; was Benjamin married & his Mg. records lost as were his birth records, or did he father a child by a slave?, which was not an unheard of practice. We have one Jeremiah Martineau,(colored) who died of over exposier in New York City. We have record of Jack Martineau (son of a slave) who was given his freedom & was head of a house hold in Richmond County. We have on record one Lydia Martineau,(whose mother was a slave) who married a white man so the list goes on." Was he married to the mother of Ann, his daughter,wife of Stephen Ketteltas Sr.? Apparently Stephen Kettelas Sr. raised Benjamin's black (slave) children after he Benjamin died. All questions with no definite answers.
