Killed in the Esopus Indian Raid on the Wyltwyck Stockade, along with his wife and his little girl. He was buried here with the other victims of the raid, this being the only graveyard in use within the stockade. Apparently no carved stone was used to mark his grave, but more likely a simple wooden marker. At the time of his death, records showed his name shortened to "Alberts" vice the "Albertsen" he would have used in the Dutch Community.
He is the son of Norwegian born Albert Andriessen (who later used the surname "Bradt") 1607-1686 who removed to Fort Orange by 1630, and died there 1686, and his wife Dutch-born Annetie Barentse (later surname Van Rothers) 1608-1662. Some trees place Jan's Alberts birth in Albany as late as 1648, while others say 1638 in Ft Orange. This makes him barely old enough to have been included in the 1652 settlement of Esopus (later Wyltwyck, later Kingston) from Fort Orange, or perhaps was not with the original group of 70, and removed to Wyltwyck later. Since Jan and his wife had only one child, "a little girl", we may assume that they were recently married. This would indicate his birth about 1636 to 1638. Several family tree report his marriage to Ida in the RDC Kingston 1660,1661, and 1662. Family trees also report his later-used family name as "VanSteenburg",
His elder sister Affien (Eva) Alberts(e) (Later Bradt) also survived the Indian Raid. She was at the time, the wife of sherrif Roeloff Swarthout.
