According to the research of family genealogists and historians such as Roberta Lewis, Rhonda VanderJagt, and myself. A lot of credit goes to all who have accumulated the facts that present the life of our ancestors and loved ones:

Born Johannes M. Van der Jagt, the son of Cornelius Manus Van der Jagt and Maatje Bienerveldt-Van der Jagt, on 05 Jun 1837 in Burgh, Schouwen-Duiveland, Zeeland, Netherlands. He spent the first 11 years of his life in the Motherland, until his father moved his siblings, mother, and paternal grandfather, Cornelius Van der Jagt, to the United States of America. They departed from Rotterdam, Netherlands aboard the immigrant ship, Rose Standish, arriving in New York, New York, USA on 13 Sep 1849.

Eventually, the family settled in Cedar Grove, Sheboygan, Wisconsin and took up farming.

On 04 Mar 1862, "John" married Jozina Josephine "Josie" DeMaster in Sheboygan county, Wisconsin and they took up residence in the Holland Township, Sheboygan, Wisconsin area and continued farming.
