Amazing Anneke Jans

At the moment I have only 866 descendants, even though millions are claimed. Like what happened to Kenau Simonsdr. Hasselaer in The Netherlands, the descendants of Anneke Jans gave her a reputation, her reputation was being descended from William the Silent even though no evidence has ever been produced.

However it is the descendants that are varied and fascinating. To begin with a list of interesting descendants (which has grown)

Philip Livingston Jr, Signer of the declaration of Independence
William Livingston, 1st Governor of New Jersey
Henry Brockholst Livingston, US Supreme Court Justice
Herman Melville
Louisa May Alcott
Henry Fonda
Eleanor Roosevelt
Floyd Delafield Crosby, cinematographer
Thomas Howard Kean, Governor of New Jersey
Adam von Trott zu Solz
Jane Fonda
Peter Fonda
Robert Trail Spence Lowell IV
Montgomery Clift
Bridget Fonda
Michael Douglas
William Addams Reitwiesner

In the sixt generation of descendants
I found William Linnaeus Gardner, born in 1770 in Livingstone Manor, New York State (his mother is a Livingstone)
After the British defeat at Yorktown, at the age of thirteen he fled America for Britain and then sailed to India to seek his fortune. He began a freelance career in the Nizam's army in 1798 and married Begum Mah Munzel ul-Nissa, the daughter of the Nawab of Cambay and seems to have converted to Islam to marry her. It was a long and happy marriage. Their son James married a niece of the Moghul emperor Akbar Shah, and William Linnaeus Gardner was proud of his multi-racial family. A granddaughterr married another Gardner and their descendants became in line for the Baron Gardner title, but could not affrord to pay for the proof required and so they became de Jure Baron Gardner. I understand that all they have to do is supply the papers (quite expensive) and they should have no problem to have the title properly established.(Also see Burke's Peerage 1967 page 1012)

In the eight generation
a female descendant became the daughter in law of a man born as George Charles d'Anthes. He was adopted by a Dutch Baron and then became known as Baron George Charles de Heeckeren, his descendants go by the name Heeckeren d'Anthes. George Charles went to Russia and fell in love with Natalia Nikolaevna Goncharova, the wife of poet Alexander Puschkin. As Pushkin became suspicious, George Charles married Natalia's sister, Ekatherina, and they were to have four children. However that did not stop the suspicion and jealousy of Pushkin, he challenged George Charles to a duel, but it was Pushkin who was killed in this encounter.

Still eight generation, a female descendant married Marquis Mauride de Talleyrand-Perigord, 4.Duca di Dino

In the 9th generation
A female descendant married Freiherr Klemens von Ketteler who became Ambassador in Peking, and it was his murder which sparked off the Boxer Rebellion in 1900.

Still ninth generation
A female descendant became the daughter-in-law of George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon who was involved with Howard Carter's exploits in Egypt.

Still ninth generation
A female descendant married Randolph Algernon Ronald Stewart, 12th Earl of Galloway

In the 10th generation
A female descendant married Gabriel de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Comte de Mortemart

still tenth generation
A female descendant married Irving Berlin

still tenth generation
a female descendant married Bernard Forbes, 8th Earl of Granard

In the 12th generation
Actress Alexandra Isles appears to have been a mistress of Claus von Bulow

still 12th generation
a female descendant married Prince Cyril Wolkonsky

still 12th generation
Lord James Charles Crichton-Stuart married Sally Croker-Poole, they divorced and she married the Aga Khan


Hope this is of interest.

Excellent!

Well, it took many sharp blows upside the head with my trusty 2 by 4 to
bring Leo around to SEEING THE LIGHT...

But he has FINALLY twigged to the fact that he needs to write MICHAEL
DOUGLAS in the list of alleged DESCENDANTS below NOT KIRK DOUGLAS.

Mission (Partially) Accomplished.
