Evaatje Hoornbeeck

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptised: 18 Jun 1671, Kingston, Ulster, New York

Notes:

Hurley was founded by Pieter Stuyvesant in 1662 as the village of Niew Dorp on the site of an earlier Native settlement. On 7 Jun 1663, during the Esopus Wars, the Esopus attacked and destroyed the village. In 1669, the English, now in charge of New Netherland, resettled the village and renamed it Hurley.

Her 18 Jun 1671 baptism, recorded at Kingston, was witnessed by Aert Martensen, Efje de Hoges, Anna de Hoges, and a person surnamed Swartwout whose given name is omitted from the record.

Evaatje married Cornelis Bogard after 16 Jul 1696 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. Cornelis (son of Cornelius Corneliszn Bogaert) was born in Coxsackie, New Netherland; died in Coxsackie, Ulster, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

16 Jul 1696 appears to have been the date of the banns; the date of the actual marriage is evidently lost.

1. Gysbert Bogard was born about 1700 in Minisink, Orange, New York; died between 14 Feb 1776 and 12 May 1778 in Hampshire County, Virginia.
2. Jacob Bogard was born before 22 Sep 1706; was christened on 22 Sep 1706 in Kingston, Ulster, New York.

Notes:

His origins are unknown. He first appears in the record on 18 Apr 1662, when, in court, he admitted his indebtedness to Pieter van Alan for a pair of shoes.

He last appears in the record on 24 Sep 1713, as "Warrenaar Hoornbeek", one of the sponsors of the baptism of Matheus, son of Niclaas Blans-Jan and Maria Hooren-beek.

Warnaer married Anna de Hooges about 1670. Anna (daughter of Anthony de Hooges and Eva Albertse Bratt) was born about 1650 in Fort Orange (now Albany), New Netherlands; died in 1688. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Also called Annaken.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: 1618

Notes:

From "Anthony de Hooges, Secretary of Rensselaerswyck, and His Descendants" (citation details below):

The place and date of birth of Anthony de Hooges is not as yet known. He was younger than Arent van Curler, and van Curler was 18 when he came over in 1637. Van Curler was said to have been baptised Feb. 6, 1620; so de Hooges was probably born between 1620 and 1623, as it is unlikely that he was younger than 18 when he came over in 1641. [...]

Mr. A. J. F. van Laer, Archivist of the University of the State of New York, writes under the date of June 3 and 7, 1935:--

"Mr. G. Beernink, in his Biography of Arend van Slichtenhorst and his father, Brant van Slichtenhorst, p. 159, says in a footnote that a Johannes de Hooges was not only a shareholder, but also bookkeeper, of the West India Company, at Amsterdam. He does not give his authority for the statement and does not state that Anthony de Hooges was related to him. That, however, is quite likely and I assume therefore that Anthony came from Amsterdam." "The fact that Anthony de Hooges' only son was named Johannes certainly strengthens the supposition that the Johannes de Hooges mentioned by Mr. Beernink was his father."

On July 17, 1641, Kiliaen van Rensselaer issued the following

"Instructions for Anthonie de Hooges, engaged as under bookkeeper and assistant to Arent van Corler, according to which he must faithfully conduct himself, this 17th of July 1641, in Amsterdam.

"Going on board at the Texel, with God's help he shall first of all see whether the people, who are to sail now for the colony, are on board ship, namely, etc."

On July 30, 1641 Anthony de Hooges was on board den Coninck David, and commenced a journal of the voyage to America which he later sent to van Rensselaer. This journal is published in its entirety in the Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts, pages 580 to 603. The boat had a long and stormy passage of four months. On July 30, the company on board den Coninck David set sail from Texel with about 35 or 36 other boats. On August 19th they reached Plymouth, where they stayed until the 30th. Setting sail again, this time with five other vessels, they passed the Madeira Islands on September 16th and 17th, and on the 19th and 20th passed the Canary Islands, leaving the other ships, except for one galley, there. By October 4th they were running short of water.

"We began to look at each other. At last after some questions had been asked we decided unanimously that for the preservation of both man and beast it was necessary to go to the island of Christoffel [St. Christopher or St. Kitts in the West Indies] and continue our voyage after we had obtained a supply of water."

They reached the Leeward Islands on October 16th, and anchored at St. Christopher on the 18th. Here they took on water, and remained until the 23d. On November 3d "At half past two in the night the wife of Govert Loockemans [Ariaentje Jans] gave birth to a daughter." This child was baptized as Marritje at New Amsterdam on Dec. 1, 1641. On November 29th den Coninck David sailed past Sandy Hook, where they ran aground on a reef which delayed them two hours, and finally anchored in the afternoon in the East River off Smits Vly.

For a time, Anthony de Hooges stayed at the home of Oloff Stevensen van Cortlandt in New Amsterdam. He did not reach Rensselaerswyck until April 10, 1642. He was van Curler's assistant, at a salary of £150. a year until October, 1644, when van Curler returned to Holland. He was then entrusted with the business management of the colony until van Slichtenhorst's arrival on March 22, 1648. From then until his death in 1655 de Hooges was secretary of the colony and gecommitteerde (commissioner), for which he received salaries of £360. and £100. a year. He also received a salary of £56. as voorleeser (reader in the church) for a little over two months in 1653. He was also a deacon in the church in 1654. [...]

In October, 1647, de Hooges married Eva Albertse Bratt, daughter of Albert Andriesz Bratt and Annetje Barents. By her he had five children, Maria, Anna, Catrina, Johannes and Eleanora. All of these children grew up and married, and had children of their own.

Anthony de Hooges is thought to have died on or about Oct. 11, 1655, as his wages were paid up until that date. [...]

According to Egbert Benson (Memoir read before the Historical Society of the State of New York, Dec. 31, 1816, p. 63) Anthony's Nose, the mountain on the east bank of the Hudson at the division line between Westchester and Putnam counties, was named after Anthony de Hooges. This statement has been widely quoted, but it is hard to determine at this time if it is founded on fact.

Anthony married Eva Albertse Bratt in Oct 1647 in Fort Orange (now Albany), New Netherlands. Eva (daughter of Albert Andriessen Bratt and Annetje Barents) was born before 9 Jan 1633; was christened on 9 Jan 1633 in Evangelical Lutheran Church, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands; died in 1689 in Hurley, Ulster, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Also called Aefje, Affien, etc. On 3 Jun 1662 in Rensselaerswyck, her father, now widowed, made an agreement with his several children, in which it is evident that they were listed in birth order and that the first two, Affien and Barent, were baptized in Amsterdam. Affien was Eve, widow of Anthony de Hooges and now married to Roeloff Swartwout.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: 1607, Frederikstad, Norway

Notes:

Also spelled Bradt. In August 1630, still in Holland, he signed a contract (along with two others) with patroon Kiliaen van Rennselaer to become partners in a sawmill in Rensselaerwyck in New Netherland. With his first wife Annetje, his daughter Eva, and son Barent, he left Holland, sailing from the Texel on 8 Oct 1636 on the ship Rensselaerswyck. Annetje was pregant and, during a violent storm on 2 November, she gave birth to their third child, a son, who was named Storm and who in adulthood took the surname Vanderzee, "from the sea." The ship reached Manhattan on 4 March 1637 and anchored at Fort Orange, up the Hudson, on 7 April.

The sawmill partnership lasted only a year, because Albert departed to devote his energy to planting tobacco and trading in furs. In 1646 he got out of the tobacco business and, with his brother Arent, became operator of two sawmills on the Tawasentha. This enterprise lasted many years and is the reason that the stream became known as the Noorman's Kill.

Albert married Annetje Barents on 11 Apr 1632 in Oudekerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Annetje (daughter of Barent Röttmer and Geesje Barentsdochter) died in 1661 in Rensselaerswyck, New Netherland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Bef 3 Jun 1662, Rensselaerswyck, New Netherland
• Alternate death: Bef 5 Jun 1662

Notes:

Also called Annetje van Rotmerz. Her 1632 Amsterdam marriage intention calls her place of origin "Oudenbroek."

Notes:

They were married on Easter Sunday by the Reverend (Dominee) Joannis Silvius.

Notes:

He presumably died in Amsterdam. His wife survived him, remarried, and emigrated to New Netherland.

Barent married Geesje Barentsdochter. Geesje died before 1663 in New Netherland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Aft 1666

Notes:

Also spelled Geesgen; Baerents; Geesie Barents; etc. Possibly as early as 1642 (Jacobus, citation details below), she came to New Netherland with her second husband, Pieter Jacobsz van Rynsburch/Rensborch, who may have been from Rensborg in Schleswig-Holstein. They were both dead by 1663.
