Johan Van Rensselear to muster a company of 100 foot soldiers for the defense of the province. In 1583, he served with the troops under Count Van den Bergh. He and his wife received from the States General a pension of 200 guilders yearly, this to revert, after the death of the survivor, to his nephew, Kiliean. They had no children.
