Jacobus Benjamin van de Water was mayor and "auditeur" of the city of New Amsterdam ca. 1673.[1]

Van de Water was born in 1643 to Benjamin Jacobus Van de Water, and Eijsbet de Maersman, from Rotterdam. His parents emigrated to America in 1651, settling in New Amsterdam; he himself followed in 1658. Once settled, Jacobus Van de Water married Engeltje Jurriaens.[2]
