Notes

Jan Lucasz SCHOUTEN (John / Johannes / SCOUTEN / SCHOETEN / SCHOUTE etc.)

Introduction Re. Are Jan  Le Conte & Jan/John Schouten the same person? Jan Schouten would appear to have been a carpenter. He is mentioned as suchin a deed in 1680 (see below). He is also recordedoperating two sloops. Perhaps he built his own boats, two of which have been mentioned,"The Hope" and "The Liberty". A case involving John Scouten on 10 Feb 1677/8 (see below), mentions thesupply of a boat, but is unclear as to whether John was the builder or recipientof the boat. I therefore do not agree with someresearchers who say that Jan Schouten is the same person as Jan Le Conte, ashoemaker who arrived in 1659 on "de Otter". Additionally, Jan or John Schouten wasalready in America by 1857 as described below. And there is no mention inthe records of Jan Schouten being a shoemaker, only a carpenter and a boat owner& operator, as evidencedin several documents mentioned below. It seems unlikely that a shoemaker becamea carpenter. I therefore say that Jan Schouten and JanLe Conte are two separate persons
