Conjecture
- From The New York Historical Society Collections, an 1892-1902 volume features abstracts of wills on file in the Surrogates Office, City of New York, from 1665 to 1800. Peter Praa Van Zandt and Johanes Van Zandt are named as a grandson in the will of Capt. Peter Praa, dated 6 Aug 1739. Also named are his wife Maria, a daughter Elizabeth Meseroll (& a John Meseroll), daughter Annetie, wife of Daniel Bodee, a daughter Christiana Provoose.
William S. Pelletreau,member of the Society prepared the abstracts, and says of Peter Praa: Captain Peter Praa, the testator in above will, was the son of Peter
Praa (or Praah), a French Huguenot, who fled to Leyden and from thence to New
Amsterdam in 1659, and died there March 6, 1663. Captain Peter Praa was born
in Leyden in 1655, and became a prominent citizen in Newtown, L. I. He
married, March 15, 1684, Maria Hay, daughter of Jacob Hay and Christina
Coffoens. (She was at that time the widow of Joost Adriansen Molenaer, by whom
she had a daughter, Sara.) Their daughter Christina married David Provoost,
1712, and had a son, Peter Praa Provoost, and other children. The houses and
lots in New York, left to his grand-sons, are probably the southwest corner of
Pearl and Pine streets.--W. S. P.

- Peter Praa Van Zandt appears (2nd marriage?)with Mary Johnson in the listing of NY Marriage Licenses, 16 Aug 1766. See:
http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rbillard/ny_marriage_licenses.htm
- In the category of things to be saved until they prove either relevant or irrelevant, is this engagement notice on the social page of the 22 May 1904 New York Times. The bride claims descent from one "Vice Governor Van Zandt who served under Peter Stuyvesant". See col. 5, just above the illustration:

Oloffe Van Kortlandt...chose as lieutenants or co-adjutors Abraham Harden Broeck, Jacobus Van Zandt, and Wiant Ten Broeck. See:
