Annetjen and Jan were married on 18 February 1663 in Wiltwyck [Kingston], New Netherland.

Other Osterhout research has asserted that Jan is the same person as Jan Janse Oothout, a brewer in Greenbush near Albany, NY, who died in 1696. Also, that he moved to Saugerties and was part of the founding of the Katsbaan church there. However, the Katsbaan church was loosely begun in 1710 and the church structure was built in 1732, both of which are well after Jan's death. The first Oosterhouts to appear in the Katsbaan records are in 1737, and these descendants may be who Walter Osterhout was referring to in his family remembrances. There is no evidence that an earlier Katsbaan group had formed. Jan and Annetje also appear in the records of the Kingston Church up until the time of their deaths, showing involvement here and not in Saugerties until very late in their lives.

A careful following of Jan's land purchases and sales shows that he lived in the area known as the Brabant, north of the stockade district of Kingston some 4-5 miles, where the Saw Kill meets the Esopus Creek. (Thanks to Chris Brooks for finding the Burhans deed/map that identified this exact location.) Jan patented this land originally with Jan Burhans and Cornelis Vernooy, but they eventually split the property. The latest deed I have for Jan shows he was in this place in 1693, only a few years before his supposed death in 1696. There is mention of a will and the splitting of Jan's property at Brabant (not Saugerties) between his nine living children in a land sale from Teunis to Pieter in 1708. But the will must not have been proved/recorded, as it is not found in the county records. Jan's son Pieter bought the inherited land back from siblings Teunis and Catelyn (and possibly Jan Jr.), and continued to live there after Jan's death.
I have not yet found evidence for exactly when Jan and Annetje died. They both appear and are clearly identified in the records of the Old Dutch Church in Kingston up until late 1693. Jan's son Jan appears in the records in June of 1694 and February of 1696, with "junior" written after his name. After that point, there is no mention of Jan Sr., and Jan Jr appears without the "junior" addedဦ possibly corroborating that Jan Sr. died sometime in 1696. Annetje appears in the records, usually with her maiden name of Gilles/Jillis/etc. identified, up until July of 1697. So the guess of 1697 for her seems close as well. But I have not yet seen anything definitive.
The Chase Burial Ground in Sawkill stands on the Oosterhout/Burhans property, but identified gravestones are all from the late 1700's and 1800's. There is no record of Jan and Annetje's burial at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, but none of records of the burials here before 1710 have been found. Since there is a family cemetery on their property at Brabant, it is possible they were buried in that place. The Oosterhouts, Burhans, and Myers families owned land there for several generations, and some intermarried. However, the Old Dutch Church master records for the earlier Oosterhouts buried here match Jan's sons Pieter and Jan Jr., along with their wives, and it appears that they are buried on the church grounds. Pieter and Jan Jr. both lived the closest to their parents in their later years. Therefore, it is likely that Jan Sr. and Annetje are buried here also! Since the earliest burials at the Old Dutch Church are not available, we cannot know for sure, but I feel this is the likeliest place. The location would be around the SW corner of the church property, where the earlier stone church stood from 1679-1852.
