    Biography:
    From Henry de Peyster:
    "It was during their life time that the de Peysters and their relatives joined the Protestant cause. Vaernewyck, the celebrated historian, mentions Reynier de Peyster, secretary to the schepens, as being a Protestant in 1566. Several members of the de Peyster family took refuge in England and Holland where we find their names in the registers of the Walloon or Flemish Protestant churches since the year 1570. After 1579, however, most of these refugees returned to Ghent at the time of Jean de Hembyze's dictatorship. They had to pay fines for having left the city without having been granted leave by the magistrates. On the roll of fines we meet many names, mentioned in these pages, of families related to the de Peysters. ...."
    "The youngest branch, from which the American family descends, had therefore all
    become Protestants in or about 1566. The first direct ancestor of the American family to do so was Josse de Peyster who had married Elisabeth Danckaert."
