(Wash. Anc. v.3,pp.59-60). In Gravesend, an English community, WillemJans
became known as Will Jonson or Johnson, and he is so designated invarious town records quoted by Hoppin, though his customary signature, asshown in these same records, was Willem Jansz van Borkello.

Willem Jans "from Berckeloo" sailed on the ship De Trouw (Faith) fromHolland to New Nederlands on 24 March, 1662. Gov. Peter Stuyvesant hadbeen advised to this effect by the directors of The West India Company ina letter dated 4 Feb. 1662. (CDM pt. I,p.298). He was accompanied by hisbrother Harmen Jans "from Berckelo," who brought his wife WillempjeWarnaers, daughter Jannetje, 5 yrs. old born in Holland in 1657, andReynier, 3 yrs old born 1659.
They came from the small town of Borculo in the province of Gelderlandin what was formerly the County of Zutphen, and hence assumed the name ofBerckelo (Barkelo).
The appendage Jansz, Janse or Jansen signifies a patronymic orfather's name. The surname Van Berckeloo is derived from the place oforigin, the present-day Borculo.
(note by Kay Douglas Barricklow: "The information I got from BakerUniversity put the Van Barkelos in New Amsterdam first in 1651 instead of1657. Helen Endecott had both brothers returning to New Amsterdam in 1662from Holland, which lines up with an entry I saw in The Passenger ListsIndex which indicated Harmon Janse van Borkelo arrived in Long Island in1662 with no mention of Willem, our ancestor."
