Notes:

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. Source (1) " He and his wife Geertruyd with their child of two years, rode the forceful waves of freedom from Amsterdam, Holland to the shores of a new land of wilderness. New York (New Amsterdam ) in 1663 in a ship named "De Bonte Koe"--The Spotted Cow.
No history of New York is complete without including one of its first families the Van Tuyls." Source (2).
