Need Merger for Jan Franze/Frannse Van Hoesen

I have his birthplace as the Netherlands, see, e.g.: [This information is from Vol. III, pp. 1354-1355 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in the Reference collection of the Schenectady County Public Library at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]

Jan Franse, ancestor of all the Van Hoesens in America, was an early resident of Fort Orange, now Albany, New York, and died at Claverack, 1667. He came to America from a town in Holland, near the Zuyder Zee, called Huesen. He acted as commissioner for the West India Company, was interested in shipping, purchased several lots and erected buildings in Albany. June 5, 1662, he bought from the Indians for five hundred guilders in beavers, at Claverack, several hundred acres of land along the river including the site of the present city of Hudson. He was an early member of the Dutch Reformed church at Albany. He married Volkie Jurianse, who survived him and married, (second) Gerrit Visbeck, master of a vessel. Children:

Volkert;

There is a Huissen, Netherlands : Huissen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦysə(n)]) is a city in Gelderland, Netherlands. It has about 17,000 inhabitants. It is located at the Nederrijn, in the area between Arnhem and Nijmegen. The MP refererences a Husem Germany. The family surnames suggest Dutch, as opposed to German heritage. I believe my sources are all secondary. Perhaps the MP manager has a primary source for the birthplace.

And then there is this: Names

"The eldest son of Jan Fransen van Hoesen (Hoesem, Hoesum), the progenitor of the Van Heusen family, mentioned below. Genealogies of this family state that the first ancestor came from Huysen, or Huizen, on the Zuider Zee, in the Netherlands, presumably because the name of Jan Fransen is entered in the baptismal records of the Reformed Dutch Church at New York under the date of September 30, 1640, as "Van huysen." It should be noted, however, that this is a most unusual form of the name and that Jan Fransen in the early deeds and court records at Albany, between 1652 and 1672, is invariably referred to as "Van Hoesem," which would seem to be but a Dutch phonetic spelling of the name of the town of Husum, in Schleswig, from the vicinity of which a number of early settlers came. At all events, there seems to be no good reason why the perfectly familiar name of Huysen should in Dutch records be written "Hoesem," or even "Hoesum," as in the patent mentioned below, whereas the spelling "Huysen" for Husum may be accounted for by the fact that the same form occurs on the map of Denmark in Ortelius' Atlas of 1598, and probably on other Dutch maps of the period. In support of the thoery that Jan Fransen came from Schleswig it may be recalled also that Pearson in his Early Settlers of Albany, p. 126, states that the Van Hoesens were Lutherans." [14]

Although Pearson states the Van Hoesens were Lutherans, the baptismal records for Jan's children show them being baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church.
