  Notes	The founder and patriarch of the family in North America was Johannes Verveelen, a brewer from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, who arrived in New Amsterdam in 1657 with his wife, Anna Jaarsvelt, daughters Anna and Maria, and his widowed mother, Anna Elkhout. His son, Daniel, had preceded him here five years earlier. His ancestors were from the Rhineland, his grandfather and father, the latter a shopkeeper, having moved to Amsterdam in 1610 to escape the oppression of Calvinists at Cologne. With a partner, Isaac de Forest, Johannes founded the Red Lion Brewery in New Amsterdam on what is now Beaver Street in downtown Manhattan, New York, two blocks south of Wall Street and east of Broadway. Subsequently, in 1661, he became one of the five original land grant recipients and residents of New Haarlem (now Harlem). He was the proprietor of the first inn in Harlem. He also operated ferries east across the Harlem River at what is now 125th Street and, later, across the Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the north (Map). Later he served as Harlem Constable, Magistrate, and Delegate to the General Assembly at Albany, New York.
