I'm not researching this line but "The Early Germans of New Jersey" by T.
Chambers (1895) has an Isaac Stryker christened in the same year as yours.
This book is available on microfilm from the LDS. Its number is 0016514.
Here's part of what it says ...

"JAN STRYKER emigated, 1652, from Rhuynen, Province of Drenthe, Holland,
and settled in Flatbush, L.i., about 1654. Effort has been made to trace
the Decendants of this pioneer to the present generation; but, as the same
names occur in each successive generation, adn the records provide no means
of identifying the individuals, absolute certainty regarding the first
generations is unattainable. The following arrangement is, however, the
most probable one. Jan or John had ch.: GARRET and PETER, and the latter
had Barent, of Somerset Co., and Jan.

BARENT, of Somerset Co. (s. of Peter of Flatbush), had
I. PETER, of Millstone, whose will, dated April 7, prob. 15 June, 1761
names wife Mary and ch.: 1. BARENT; 2. PETER; 3. ELISABETH and 4. RACHEL;
my brothers Barent and hendrick.
II. BARENT
III. HENDRICK
IV. DENYS [book has more on Denys if your need it]
V. JAN, m. Judick Van Neste and had ch.: 1. BARENT, bap. 1752; 2.
HENDRICK, bap. 1753; 3. PETER, bap. 1756; 4. JAN, bap. 1758; 5. ABRAHAM,
bap. 1760; 6. ISAAC, bap. 1762; 7. ELISABETH, bap. 1765; 8. JACOB, bap.
1767; 9. EVA, bap. 1770

Hope this helps. Enjoy
