CajunScot, Do you know if the name moved from Stuyvesant from Holland to Stivesant or Stiverson of England? My father insists that the Stiverson name is a deriviate of Peter "Peg Leg" Stuyvesant from Holland? I found one place that shows Stivesant from England and one place for Stiver in Holland but no trace of Stiverson anywhere????
