Notes:

According to James Riker, there were two Jan Nagels. The subject, Jan Nagel, born 1645, Holland, died 1689, was a soldier in the service of the West India Company until 1664 when when the Dutch surrendered to the English. John quit the service and retired in disgust to Harlem, with an avowed intention of leaving the country. However, he chose to remain and slowly became reconciled to the English rule. This is most likely where it was determined that Valentyn Claessen was also a soldier in the service of the West India Company, and a friend of Jan Nagel and the Waldron

Jan Nagel and Aeltie Waldron were witnesses to the baptism of Valentyn Claessen and Marritje Jacob's son, Jan, baptized March 14, 1671.

The other Jan Nagel (Naugle), was a Sargeant from Luxomberg, called an oosterline, who served five years in the military. He married in 1652 Gritie Dircks, daughter of Dirck Volkertsen, Norman, of Bushwick. Gritie's uncle John Vinge, was the first male person born in New York.

Conveyance to (the other) Jan Nagel October 15, 1653. "Appears before us, Claes Carstensen Noorman, and declares to have conveyed to Jan Nagel a house and lot located next to Jochem Calder, etc., on Brower Street in New Amsterdam, Island of Manhattan, and that by virtue of a patent granted to him, the grantor May 3, 1644."
