-Jannetje Brokaw is said by one undocumented web source to have been born in 1667 in Mannheim, Germany, but we expect Holland or New York to also be possibilities.  She married Hans Teunise Covert, born in Brooklyn, of Dutch parents. This suggests that Jannetje's parents were in America  before about 1687, by which time when Hans and Jannetje would likely have been married.  Jannetje and Hans Covert were presumably married in NY before 1688 when their first daughter Catherine was born in Brooklyn.  The next five children born 1690-1699 in Dutch Kills, Long Island NY; and finally two daughters born 1706-1709 in Somerset, New Jersey.   <br>

 Jannetje, also in the records as Jane, was daughter of Bragoon Braghar - also seen as Brokaw, Bourgen Broecord, or Broeckaert (which appear to be Dutch spellings).  In 1690 Hans Teunis Covert appears to have purchased land in Queens Co. NY with a Bourgen Broecord, presumably his father-in-law but possibly a brother of Jannetje.  By 1702, both Hans and Bourgen Brocard are living in Somerset Co., NJ and together they purchase 2000 acres "at the mouth of the Millstone River".<br> In 1706-07, Hans Covert sold Newtown land, co-owned by him and two other Millstone residents, an Isaac Bourga (a Brokaw spelling?), and an Andrew Bird, Jr., possibly related to Thomas Bird, husband of Hans Covert's oldest daughter Catherine. <br>It is expected that Jannetje/Jane died sometime after 1719 when her husband mentioned her in his will, probably in Millstone, Somerset Co.
