VAN SATLEE, Antony Jansen, pirate, born probably in Holland about 1600; died on Long Island, New York, in March, 1670. He was in New Amsterdam as early as 1680, and resided there till 1639, when he was banished for his crimes and unruly manner of life, having acquired the soubriquet of the "Turk" from his cruel and fierce character. He is found in the records under several aliases, that indicate that he engaged in the piracies on the coast of Morocco before coming to this country. When he was banished from New Amsterdam he settled on the west end of Long Island, obtaining a patent for 100 acres of land.
I was looking up information on a possible ancestor and came upon this
site. I have no particular qualifications other than amateur genealogist, but
I believe this person's name is spelled van Salee, no letter "t"
included. See for example http://www.geocities.com/dane97520/VanSalee
