Van Leuven Genealogy, 1979, Audrey VanLeuven:
"On the 15th, March 1663, De Rooseboom (The Rosetree), under Captain Pieter Van der Beets, sailed from the Netherlands for New Netherlands in America. On board was Andries Pietersen Van Leuven from Bergen. From the passenger list we know he was not a soldier then, and was able to pay for his passage. The average sailing time was around six weeks, more or less. Probably by the end of April they had docked at New Amsterdam Island".
