Pieter Pieterzen married Tryntje van de Lande in 1652 at Amsterdam. They had three children, 1653-ca. 1658. The family immigrated to America and landed off New Amsterdam in 1660. It is thought that the family settled at Espopus [Kingston, New York]. Family tradition states that the parents were killed by Indians ca. 1663 but this cannot be proven. Their son, Pieter Ostrander (b. 1653), married Rebecca Traphagen in 1679 at Kingston, New York. They had thirteen children, ca. 1670-1706. Descendants lived in New York, Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio and elsewhere. Some descendants spell their surname Hostrander.
