Married between 1702 - 1706

1) Alida Jansz Van Dyckhuysen (also spelled Alyday)
born circa 1684
baptized on Pinksterday [possibly October 12, 1684] by Dom. Gideon Schaets of the Dutch reformed Church in Brooklyn - Record lists her name as Aeltie daughter of Jan Theunis Van Dyckhuys, parent - witnessed by Captain Elbert Elbertsz Stoothoff and Aeltia Elberts.
died on or before April 25, 1706. On April 25th, Harman paid 24 gl. for grave and pall for his wife.
Daughter of Jan Tuenessen Van Dyckhuysen (? - circa 1702) and Achia Stoothuff (? - after 1702).

From Bergen's book, Early Settlers of Kings County, has the following: Van Dyckhuysen, Jan Tuenessen, (probably from Dykhuizen, a village in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands, where he may have at one period resided) a carpenter by trade, emigrated from Leerdam in South Holland in 1643. Married Agatha or Achia [other researchers lists Achye and Aegge Elbertse] daughter of [Captain] Elbert Elbertse Stoothuff [and Altie Cornelis Cool]; and died about 1699. At first he appears to have resided in New Amsterdam, where he plied his trade, and to have removed to Brooklyn of which place he was schout fiscal in 1646. March 17, 1662, he obtained a patent for 17 morgens in Flatbush. After his marriage he appears to have removed to Flatlands, where he took the oath of Allegiance in 1687, his name appearing on the assessment rolls of said town of 1675 and '83, patent of 1685, census of 1698, and was justice of the peace in 1693. He was also a member of the Dutch church of said town in 1677 and a deacon in 1681; and appointed lieutenant of militia in 1689. After his marriage he appears to have visited Holland, his fatherland, and returned from thence to this country in 1679 in the same vessel with Dankers and Sluyter, De Labidists, as per the Hon. H. C. Murphy's translation of their journal. His will (not recorded) is dated June 22, 1699, in which his daughter Auke, Swaentje, and Alida are named and his wife Achia. On the settlement of his estate in 1702, as per p. 244 of Lib. 2 of Con., it appears he owned in addition to his Flatlands lands considerable land in Gravesend. Issue: - Auke, baptized April 7, 1677, married John Lucassen Van Voorhees; Aeltje (twin with Auke), baptized April 7, 1677 died prior to the death of her father; Swantje, baptized July 18, 1680 in Flatlands, married Aaron Schuyler of Flatlands; and Alida, baptized October 12, 1684 in Flatlands, single in 1702. Signed his name "Jan Tuenessen Van Dyckhuysen."

***** There was a will for a John Van Duckhuys (Van Dyke) that mentions Alyday. Look for the will in the NY Will books. I believe that it mentioned Aerent Schuyler and wife Sarah Van Dyke; also, John Lucasse and wife Anneke Van Dyke. *****

There was a John Van Dyck who died near November 9, 1736.

There was a sale of land (circa November 1693) to Martin Schenck, of Flatlands, of "all that farm in New Lotts at North side of the towne as same are layd out and numbered 1 & 2 great in all 20 morgen," dated 27 November 1693 and "signed in the presence of John Van Dykehuys," his brother-in-law. Farm and lots at New Lotts, "at the North side of the towne" was transferred by Roeloff Martinse Schenck, "as a free gift," to Gerratt Roeloffson Schenck, signed in the presence of John Van Dyckhuys and Peter Cortilleou.

There were three Van Dyck's who came from Holland: Jan Thomasse Van Dyke, Franz Classen Van Dyck and Hendrick Van Dyke, who was "Fiscal" or State's Attorney under Governor Peter Stuyvesant who came to New Amsterdam in 1640. Jan Thomasse Van Dyke and his wife, Tryntje Haegen, had a son, Jan Janse Van Dyke who was a captain. Could this be Alida's father (probably not - He had 8 children - none of them Alida)? Jan Thomasse Van Dyke, his wife and seven children came from Amsterdam in 1652. Tryntje was his second wife. By his first wife, he had four children. Jan died in 1673. He had been on of the founders of New Utrecht in 1657. He had 11 children (none of them being Alida). The children were: Thomas Janse Van Dyck; Carll Janse; Annetje Janse; Angenietje Janse; Achias Janse; Jan Janse; and Hendrick Janse (baptized in New Amsterdam on July 2, 1653). All were born in Holland except for Hendrick. Other sources lists his children as: Thomas; Derrick; Carle; Jan; Achias; Peter; Lambert; Hendrick; Antje; Angenietje; and Tryntje.

Married June 20, 1707

2) Adrianna Stoothuff
born January 11, 1686
baptized August 8, 1686 at Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church. Witness by Jan Aersen and Sara Elbers Stoothoff (step-grandmother).
died August 18, 1761 in Flatlands [many records have her listed dying prior 1735]
Daughter of Garret Elbertse Stoothuff (born 1655-63 in New Amsterdam baptized on March 11, 1668 or May 4, 1653 - March 30, 1730 in Flatlands, Long Island) and Johanna Nevius (baptized March 11, 1668 in New Amsterdam sponsored by Wilhelmus Brackel and Swaentie [nee Jans] de Potter - 1734) married August 10, 1684 at the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church. They had 11 children. At least one researcher states that Garret was born on January 26, 1648 in Flatlands. Johanna was the daughter of Johannes Nevius and Adriaentje Bleyck.

"On June 20, 1704, Harmanus Hooglandt, of Kings County, purchased from Aerent Schuyler and Saratje, his wife, lots 28 and 30 at Gravesend, near Flatlands. Each lot contained about 25 acres adjoining land belonging to John Lucasse, Jr. Consideration 200 pounds.

Two years later (1706), Harmanus Hoogland was collector of taxes, and assessed for 10 acres of land.

On November 1, 1707, Aerent Schuyler and wife convey to Harmanus and Arianke, his wife, certain lands (about 70 acres) in Flatlands, "now in the possession of Harmanus Hoogland, part whereof of said house, lands, meadows and premises descended to Alyday, late wife of said Harmanus Hoogland, from her father, John Van Duckhuys, deceased." This deed also shows that the wife of Schuyler and Anneke, the deceased wife of John Lucasse, were also children of said Van Dyck. The land of Derrick Longstreet also is mentioned here. Brooklyn Records, iii, 126. [Therefore, Saratje and Anneke were sisters of Alida.]

In Jan., 1721, John Lucassen and his son, Johannes Voorhees, of Piscataway, N.J., conveyed to Hoogland their right in this and other lands for 250 pounds. Vol vi., p. 35.

1721, Aug. 1, Johannes Voorhees sells to John Lucassen about twelve acres of land "where Harmanus Hoagland now lives." This deed was not records until June 24, 1745. Vol. V., p. 132."

The census of 1738 shows that Harmanus had a family of four white males above ten years of age; two males under 10; four white females above ten; and one under ten; and also one slave above ten years of age.

The will of Harmanus Hoaglandt, of Flatlands, "stricken in years," makes bequest to sons Christopher, Gerrit, Marhyn, Elbert and Harmanus, and daughter, Helena; and also to grandchildren Christopher, Alida, Johanna, Catrina and Helena. Dated January 31, 1766 and proved March 23, 1772.

In the name of God, Amen, January 31, 1766. I, Harmanus Hooglant, of Flatlands, in Kings County, "being stricken in years, and but weak in body, and knowing it is appointed for all men once to die and not knowing how sudden or when." After debts and funeral charges are paid, I leave to my daughter, Helena Hooglant, £50, before the rest of my children; "Also my part of the negro wench which I and my son Christophel bought together, named Fillis." Also 4 cows. I leave to my grandson, Christophel Hooglant, son of my son Christophel, my silver Tankard. I leave to my daughters and grandchildren, viz.: my daughter Alida, and to the heirs of Johana, Catrina, and Helena, and my grandson, Christophel Hooglant, all my real estate in Flat lands. I leave my personal estate to all my children, viz.: Gerrit, Martyns, Elbert, Harmanus, Alida, Catharine, and Helena, and to the heirs of Johana, and to my grandson Christophel. The bonds which I have against my sons are to be null and void. I make Wilhelmus Stoothof, Abraham Voorhees, and Garret Kowenhoven, executors.
Witnesses, Jan Amerman, Albert Stoothof, Johanes Stoothof. Proved, February 12, 1772.

On March 23, 1772, there was a vendue sale of lands of Harmanus Hoagland, deceased. Seven lots were included in the sale. The second lot, containing 73 acres of cleared land was bought by Helena Hoogland for 560 pounds.

There is some argument as to whether Garret Stoothuff had first married Willemtje Pieterse Monfoort daughter of Pieter Monfoort and Sarah de Plancken. They had no children. Refer to the New Yourk Genealogical and Biographical Record volume 122.

Garret was commissioned Lieutenant of Horse, Kings County Militia by Gov. Leiser on January 13, 1690. Garret was commissioned major by Gov. Slaughter. He was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church at Flatlands in 1677; took the oath of allegiance in 1687. He lived all of his life in Flatlands having 140 acres of land. In 1698, the census of Flatlands lists 11 persons - 7 white and 4 black in his household. In 1710, Garret was a 'justice.' In 1711, he was an elder of the Flatlands church. In 1713, he was a Field-Major in Kings County Regiment. From his father's will, Garret received Bergen's Island in Brooklyn.

Garret was the son of Captain Elbert Elbertsen Stoothuff (circa 1620 possibly Nieuw Kercken in Zeeland ot North Bradbant - died in November 1688) and Aeltje Cornelise Cool (circa 1620 at Gowanus, Brooklyn - June 14, 1683 in Flatlands) daughter of Cornelise Lambertsen Cool (circa 1588 near Doorne, Amsterdam - around November or December 1643 in Brooklyn) and Altie Brackhonge or Braconie (circa 1588 in the Netherlands - circa 1683). Altie later married Willem Bredenbent of Coulen. Elbert and Aeltje were married on August 27, 1645 at the New Amsterdam Dutch church (or March 2, 1645 according to another record). They made a joint will on January 22, 1670. Elbert emigrated circa 1637 to New Netherlands. Altie was the widow of Gerret Wolfertse Van Couwenhoven (about 1610 in Amersfoort, Utrecht, Netherlands, son of Wolphert Gerretse Van Kouwenhoven and Aeltgen Jans - died about 1645 or 1648 at Flatlands), whom she was first married. Wolfertse, Gerret's father, was the founder of New Amersfoort in 1636-37. After Wolfertse death, between March 2 - April 27, 1662, Elbert bought his land. After Altie's death, Elbert married Sarah Roeloffse [Schenck ?] (1626 - about October 1693) on July 21, 1683 or August 8, 1683 [Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church record]. She was the widow of Cornelius Van Bossum or Borsumm or Rossum, of Brooklyn ferry, by the ferry. She was the daughter of Anneke Janse and Roeloff Janszen Van Masterlandt. Sarah had no children. She was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church in New York. Sarah emigrated from Amsterdam with her parents about 1630. She married Hans Kierstede, a surgeon, on June 29, 1642 then Corelis Van Borssum on September 1, 1669. After the death of Elbert, Sarah was received into the New York Dutch Reformed Church on September 2, 1692 via certificate from the Flatbush church. In her will dated October 21, 1693, she mentions a Dirck Hoagland, she spoke Indian, and had a black and red slave. See New York Wills pp. 225-226.

Garret and Johanna had the following children: Elbert (circa 1685 - September 19, 1756) marriage banns dated March 28, 1714 to Johanna Lupardus; Adrianna (January 11, 1686 - August 18, 1761) married June 20, 1707 to Harmanus Hoagland; Altie (circa 1688 - ?); Johannes (circa 1690 - June 1, 1730) married Neeltje Schenck; Sara (1692 - ?) married March 28, 1717 to Lawrence Williamson; Helena (circa 1694 - circa 1726) married April 26, 1715 to Roeloff Lucasse Van Voorhees; Johanna (circa 1696 - 1735); Cornelius (circa 1698 - March 1781) may have married Maria Cortelyou; Petrus (circa 1700 - April 20, 1727) married Margaret Albertse Voorkees; and Garret (September 25, 1714 - ?) Married Catherine Roelofsen. The Stoothoff's are descendants of Elbert Elbertse Stoothoff who emigrated from Nieunkirken, Holland in 1637. Nieunkirken was a hamlet with two houses and 20 inhabitants in the province of North Brabent attached to the congregation of Goirle.

Gerret Wolfertse Van Couwenhoven (1610 Amersfoort, Utrecht, Holland - about 1645) married Altie Cornelis Cool prior to her marrying Elbert Elbertse Stoothoof (circa 1635 in Flatlands). They had 2 sons and 2 daughters. Gerret came to this country with his father and resided in the Flatlands. Gerret's parents were Wolfert Gerretse Van Couwnehoven and Neeltje -----. They emigrated with their family in 1630 with other colonist from Amersfoort in the province of Utrecht, Holland. He was employed as the superintendent of farms by the Patroon at Rensellaerswick, near Albany, then later cultivated the companies' bowery or farm No. 6 on Manhattan Island. In 1637, he bought land on Long Island. He may have moved to New Amsterdam prior to his death because in 1657, his name appeared on the list of small burghers of New Amsterdam. On June 16, 1636, Wolfert and Andries Hudde bought of the Indians and obtained from Governor Van Twiller a patent for the western most of the tree flats on Long Island (small prairies), commonly known as the little flats, and called by them Castuttnew or Kaktenew, which patent was ratified on the 22d of August, 1658, to which premises he appears to have removed, on which they immediately commenced a settlement, and were he died in 1662. On August 2, 1639, he purchased of Hudde his interest in a house, barrack or barn and garden on said patent called "Achtervelt," and on September 16, 1641, he purchased of Huddle all his interest, not previously disposed of, in the original patent. Wolfert's heirs, in 1666, conveyed the main portion of these premises to Elbert Elbertse Stoothoff. This settlement was at first named Nieu Amersfoort, in honor of the place of Wolferts' nativity, was afterwards commonly known as the Baai or Bay, and since as Flatlands.

From the Conover home page (i.e., http://www.radix.net/~conover):
Wolpert Gerretse Van Kouwenhoven, one of the founders of New Amsterdam (New York) and the founder of our family in America. He was one of five "head farmers" first sent by the Dutch West India Company to New Netherlands in 1625. Wolphert came with his wife Aeeltje Jans, whom he married January 17, 1605, in the Dutch Reformed Church at Amersfort, Holland, and their three surviving sons, Gerret, Jacob, and Pieter.

Until his return to Holland in 1629, Wolphert farmed Bouwerie (farm) No. 3 in New Amsterdam and, through his wife, engaged in the profitable fur trade.

While in Holland, Wolphert signed a six year lease with the Dutch West India Company for Bouwerie No. 6 (about 91 acres). He also contracted with Kiliaen Van Rensselar, patroon of Rensselarwick (comprised of many thousands of acres along the Hudson including most of present day Albany) as a factor or director and to be in charge of Bouwerie No. 7 in New Amsterdam, All this bore tribute to Wolphert's reputation for competence and dependability.

Upon his return from Holland May 24, 1630 on De Eendracht (The Unity), Wolphert farmed Bouwerie No. 6, and for about two years served under contract with Kiliaen Van Rensselar.

On June 30, 1636, Wolphert purchased land on Long Island called Keskateuw from the Indians, Here was established the first known white settlement on Long Island. Wolphert called his "plantation" Achterveldt, shown on the Manatus Map of New Netherlands as Farm No. 36, near the Indian long house of the Keskachau Tribe. Wolphert's house, surrounded by palisades, was the focal point of the village of New Amsterdam (later called Flatlands).

Gerret, oldest of the three sons, settled in Midwout (Flatbush) near Achterveldt on 50 morgens of land - deeds for which are dated January 26, 1638 and September 16, 1641. In 1643, Gerret was one of a group sent to the Staats General in Holland to present the forlorn and defenseless condition of New Netherlands settlers due to Director Wilhelmus Kief's inciting war amongst the Indians. Grandsons of Gerret; Cornelius, Albert, Peter, and Jacob--settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey about 1700. Another grandson, William, remained in Flatlands."

Garret inherited Bergen's Island from his father (he was the only son). In his father's will, he says of the island: "... shall not go out of my family or generations, but shall remain forever hereditary therein." Elbert purchased it on November 25, 1665 for 125 guilders. The Indian name for the island was Wimbaccoe.

Johanna Nevius was the daughter of Johannis Nevius (baptized March 14, 1627 Zolen, Gelderland, Netherland - circa June 1672 in Flatbush) and Adriantje (Adrianna) Bleick [Blyck] (circa 1635 probably at Batavia, in the Dutch East Indies (Djackarta, Java, Indonesia) - between May 2, 1686-89 at Brooklyn. She likely died shortly before July 10, 1686 - definitely before January 1690 when her husband remarried). They were married November 18, 1653. Adriantje was the daughter of Cornelis de Potter and Swantje Jans. Adriantje latter married Jan Aerson or Jan Aerson Middagh around 1674. Jan was born about 1640 probably in the Netherlands. He died between 1708-1709 in Brooklyn. They had 2 daughters: Helena (born prior to March 31, 1676 who married Christopher Hooghlandt Jr. - Harman's brother). So, Johanna and Helena were step sisters.

" Captain Elbert Elbertsen Stoothuff Van De Vrede (or Justice of the Peace), a native of Nieukerken, in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands, was born in 1620. He came to New Amsterdam in 1633, under bonds to serve Wouter Van Twiller in New Amsterdam, and the remaining to years probably in Albany.

Captain Elbert Elbertsen Stoothuff, after gaining his freedom from service to Patroon Van Rensselaer in 1644, sailed from Fort Orange with Govert Lookmans [Lockermans] and others in the good yacht "Good Hope" to the south shore of Long Island, and on passing Baerin Island, where Nicholas Coorn resided, that official in the name of the Patroon Rensselaer ordered Lookmans to strike his flag, which he refused to do, and Coorn fired several times with a cannon at the yacht."

In his official capacity, his "duties were to promote the honor of God, the welfare of the country, the preservations of the reformed religion, and to give their opinion on matters submitted to them by the director and council." In addition for farming, Elbert was a trader, kept a country store and dealt in dry goods, groceries, hardware, liquors, grain, skins, oil, whalebone, etc. After his death, his business was carried on by his son, Gerret, for a time.

Elbert was first in the employment of Gov. Van Twiller and the Patroon Van Rensselaer. He was bound to serve Kilian Van Ransselaer for six years but with the latter's consent, he served four of those years on Wouter Van Twiller's Bouwery No. 1. On April 8, 1653 or 1654, he was appointed Sergeant-commandant of the Amersfoort militia (Flatlands). He was made a Captain of the militia by Gov. Glove during the return of the Dutch in 1673. His property was called "Achtervelt" - it consisted of 246 acres on "Kaskutew" flats in Flatlands. Achtervelt was originally owned by Gerret Wolfertsz Van Couwenhoven. On November 25, 1665, Elbert bought Bergen Island in Flatland for 125 guilders. In addition to farming and public service, Elbert also kept a general store.

A copy of the family bible states that the year of his death was 1816 and that he was 82 years. I believe that this was copied incorrectly because 1816 - 82 = 1734 and not 1725. Look for baptism record in Flatlands church.
