| Hendrick Martensen Wiltsie Birth: 1623 - Denmark Death: unknown - New York City-Long Island City, Queens County, New York, USA Burial: Unknown Memorial ID: 103633948 The early American history of the Wiltse family begins in 1658 in Fort Orange, New Netherland (Albany, New York) with Hendrick Martensen Wiltsie van Copenhagen. Hendrick Martensen Wiltsie van Copenhagen was born 1623, Aboard the Ship New Netherland from Copenhagen, Denmark. He later adopted the Wiltsie surname. No record of his baptism has been found in the limited records available in the Copenhagen Lutheran Church. Arrived in America early 1624. The first record of Hendrick in the New World is found on 23 Jul 1658 when he was sued at Fort Orange by Pieter Bronck for fl. 170 for beer and wine received. Hendrick denied the debt saying that hispartner had made the purchase. On Aug 13, 1658 at Fort Orange, 15 Mohawk Indians made a request for a French speaking individual to accompany them and their French captives (including Louis Paraget) to assist them at Trois Rivieresin New France (Quebec) in a prisoner exchange and a general peace negotiation. Hendrick Martinsen (called "a soldier named Henry Martin" in a letter he carried) responded to a public offer of "one hundred guilders for his trouble" and agreed to make the trip. Hendrick left Fort Orange late in August or soon thereafter and the next record of his activities is in January 10, 1660 when his marriage intention is recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church in New Amsterdam. He is listed as Hendrick Martinszen, a previously unmarried man, born in Copenhagen. Hendrick married Margrietje ("Margaret") Meijering (also spelled Meyers, or Meyring, or Meyrinck), a widow of Herman Jansen van Lenneps. Margerietje by her first husband, had a son (Jan Hermansen baptized Apr 17, 1658, New Amsterdam). Jan is listed next to his stepfather, Hendrick Martinson, in a 1678 list of Newtown inhabitants. Hendrick joined the military garrison in Kingston, Ulster County, NY. The first four of Hendrick and Margrietje's eight children were born here and baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church. Hendrick was in the Esopus war in the summer of 1663 when Indians attacked Wiltwyck on Thursday, June 7, 1663, burned some of the houses and destroyed the "new village". Many of the village residents were killed (21) or injured and some (40) were taken captive by Indians. Hendrick Martensen, a soldier, was initially listed among those killed but it was discovered that he and one of his children were captured by the Indians. It is not known which child was captured [Sophia (then 3 years old), Jannatje (6 months of age), or his step son Jan (5 years old)]. There is no record of when Hendrick and his child were freed from their captors but it is probable that they were rescued in the battle between the Dutch and the Indians on September 5, 1663, three months after the massacre. The English captured New Netherland in 1664 and Hendrick ended his service as a soldier. He was a corporal in the burgher guard in 1665. He and the other burghers of Wiltwyck signed a document, dated Apr 28, 1667, which stated that they had been in arms when Captain Brodhead had threatened to burn the village (the "Brodhead mutiny"). The last known record of Hendrick in Ulster County was a disposition signed as one of the burghers of Wiltwyck on Apr 28, 1668. Hendrick, Margaret, and the four children left Wiltwyck and the next record of the family is that of the baptism of their fifth child, Hendrick Hendricksen, on November 24, 1669 in the New York City Dutch Reformed Church. The family lived in Newtown (Long Island) in the vicinity of the Hellgate (Hellegat). Hendrick's name appears on the Newtown rate lists for 1675, 1678, and 1683. Records in Newtown show that he purchased a farm on September 15, 1681 from Captain Thomas de Lavall for 100 gl. Hendrick was already living on the farm (38 morgen, or about 77 acres) near Hellgate with "housis build orchards gardens medowes pasture & Cominage". Hendrick sold his farm to his son Teunis in 1706. Hendrick Martensen was one of the patentees listed in Dongan's Patent to Newtown on November 25, 1686. Hendrick and others were involved in a dispute over title to common land at Hellgate Neck (now Steinway, NY) in 1700. There are no accurate records which show when Hendrick and Margaret died, or where they are buried. An unsubstantiated report claims that Margaret died on June 26, 1704 and Hendrick died in 1712 . Hendrick remarried following Margaret's death. The marriage intention of "Hendrick Martensen, widower, and Steentje, widow" were recorded on June 10, 1705 in the New York Lutheran Church. On June 26, 1705 "at the house of Mr. Pieter Woglum, Hendrick Martensen, widower, and an old widow, Steentje" were married. The last record of Hendrick was on May 29, 1707 when "Hendrick Wiltzen and Stijntje Arianse" witnessed a baptism in New York.

Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
