I don't know if it helps, but according to Settlers Of Rensselaerswyck
1630-1658, a publication of the Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts:
"Casper Jacobsz; obtained a lease of a hofstede (house lot), in 1651, he was
apparently a day laborer."
There are 9 entries for Jacobsz in this publication, but the above was the
only one for Casper.
