About Aldert Hymanse Roosa

The Roosa Family of Ulster and Dutchess Counties, New York

By Holdridge Ozro Collins, of Los Angeles, California

Provided by Mike Holland

https://sites.rootsweb.com/~wvahca/Roosa_family_NY.htm

Aleardt, Aldert or Albert Heymanse Roose came to this country from Harwyen, also spelled Herweyen, in Gelderland, Holland, on Waal river, five miles west of Bommel. Or it may be the present Heywennen, a short distance east of Bommel in Gelderland or the present Herwen in Gelderland twelve miles sontheast of Arnhem. With him came his wife, Wyntje (Lavinia) Allard or Ariens, and eight children in the ship Bontekoe (Spotted Cow), Captain Peter Lucas April 15, 1660; and settled in the Wildwyck district of Esopus, now Kingston, Ulster County, New York. Of these eight children: Heyman, born in 1643, married Maritje Roosevelt. Arie, born in 1645, married Maria Pels. Jan, bom in 1651, married Hellegond Williamse Van Buren. lkee or Aaghe married Dr. Roelof Kiersted. Maritje married Laurens Jansen. Neeltje married Hendrick Pawling after Nov. 3, 1676. Jannetje married Mattys TenEyck at Hurley Nov. 16, 1679. Aert. Two other children were born to him and his wife after coming to New Netherland, viz; Annatje and Guert.

From the fact that in Gelderland at the present time the language of its people is interspersed with Spanish words and idioms it has been supposed that many religious refugees from Spain during the first years of the Inquisition settled in this particular Province of Holland, among whom may have been ancestors of Albert Heymanse; if so, this can account for the spelling of the name, by the Hollanders-Roose -which to them would produce the same sound as Rosa, his name in Spanish.

On December 25, 1660, Aldert Heymanse Roosa and his wife, with Anna Blom, Jacob Joosten, Jacob Burhans, Mathias Blanchan and wife, Anton Crespel and wife, Andries Barentse and wife, Margaret Chambers, Gertruy Andries, Roelof Swartwout and wife, and Cornelise Sleght and wife participated in the first administration of the Lord's Supper at the Esopus or Wildwyck. Aldert Heymanse Roosa was a wealthy man for those days, bringing with him considerable property from Holland, and he speedily occupied an influential position in the early making of Kingston, in all of which he appeared as a leader and director of events. On the fourth of March, 1661, he joined with Thomas Chambers, Cornelis Barentse Sleght. Gertruy Andries, Roe of Swartwout and Jurian Westvael in a contract guaranteeing a salary to the Reverend Hermanus Blom, who had been called as pastor of the Dutch church at Wildwyck. Of this church he was for many years an elder; and because of the energy with which Domine Blom and he sought to conserve the surplus of the estates of deceased parents for the benefit of the poor of the village he was sometirnes called " the consistory " of the church.

On the 5th day of May, 1661, Evert Pels, Cornelis Barentse Sleght and Aldert Heymanse Roosa were appointed commissaries at Wildwyck and took their oath of office, and on the 16th day of the same month Peter Stuyvesant, in behalf of the Mighty Lords, the States General of the United Netherlands, and the Lord Directors of the Privileged West India Company granted its first charter to Wildwyck, in which Evert Pels, Cornelis Barentse Sleght and Aldert Heymanse Roosa were appointed schepens, and therein designated as '- interested, intelligent persons, possessing Real Estate, peaceable men, professors of the Reformed religion as it is now preached in the, United Netherlandish Churches in conformity through the Word of God, and the orders of the Synod of Dordrecht." And new lots were then laid out at Wildwyck, Of which Aldert Hymanse Roosa was allotted No. 24 and his son Jan No. 30.

About Heijmen Guijsbert Roosa

Biography

Heymen Gijsbertsz: The first known mention of Heymen Gijsbertsz dates from 1608, when he is seen in a "tiend verpachting" in Neer-Andel.

On January 29, 1623, Mariken Aert Willems, who lived in Andel, widow of Jan Anthonisz Kuyst, made her testament. Her children inherit, including IJken Jan Kuystendr, married to Heymen Gijsbertsz.

Heymen Gijsbertsz was a collector of property taxes (collecteur der verpondingen in Neer-Andel) in 1623[1]. He is still alive on May 24, 1637[2] and he dies before 1651, because his heirs are mentioned as neighbours in Op Andel[3]. Eyke was a woman from Andel and quite well-off. Her parents are known to have quite a lot of property in the village. Heymen came from Herwijnen and probably moved to Andel when he married Eyke.

The next dutch text is copied from page 32 of the book by Engel Roza on the Roosa family history[4].

Heymen Gijsbertsz De eerst bekende vermelding van Heymen Gijsbertsz dateert uit 1608, wanneer hij een tiend pacht te Neer Andel.

Op 29 januari 1623 maakt Mariken Aert Willems, wonende te Andel, weduwe van Jan Anthonisz Kuyst haar testament op. Haar kinderen erven, en daaronder ook IJken Jan Kuystendr, gehuwd met Heymen Gijsbertsz.

Heymen Gijsbertsz is in 1623 collecteur der verpondingen. Hij is nog in leven op 24 mei 1637 en hij overlijdt voor 1651,want dan worden zijn erfgenamen genoemd in een belending te Op Andel. Eyke was een Andelse vrouw en vrij welgesteld. Van haar ouders is bekend dat ze vrij veel onroerend goed hadden in het dorp, waarschijnlijk is Heymen van Herwijnen naar Andel verhuisd toen hij met Eyke trouwde.

Children

Sanders writes[5]: Jan Heymanse and Govert Heymanse, as sons of Heymen Gijsbertsz. This Jan and Govert are known to have adopted and used the name 'Ro (o) sa' . Sanders did not mention the third son 'Aeldert Heymensz' , who left in 1660 with wife and eight children from Herwijnen with the ship 'Bontekoe' to America (then also known as Nieuw Nederland).

The next dutch text is again copied from page 32 of the book by Engel Roza on the Roosa family history[6].

Sanders maakt melding van Jan Heymanse and Govert Heymanse, als zoons van Heymen Gijsbertsz. Zoals we zullen zien staat van Jan en Govert wast dat ze de naam Ro(o)sa zijn gaan voeren. Sanders rept niet over Aeldert Heymensz., de derde zoon, die in 1660 met vrouw en acht kinderen uit Herwijnen met het schip “Bontekoe” naar Nieuw Nederland vertrok.

The oldest mention of Jan Heymensz from Andel, only with patronage, dates from 1637, when he has a ten-day lease in Woudrichem.24 The first mention of him with family name dates from 1654.25 when he is a guarantor and ten-man in Andel. De oudste vermelding van Jan Heymensz uit Andel, alleen met patroniem, dateert uit 1637, wanneer hij een tiend pacht te Woudrichem.24 De eerste vermelding van hem met familienaam dateert uit 1654,25 wanneer hij borg en tiendpachter is te Andel.

Govert Heymensz, also known as his first name, in 1635.26, with his family name, he was first mentioned in 1656, as Govert Hijmanse de Roos, on a member list of the Andelse church (together with his wife). In that same year He also called Govert Heymans Rosa.Govert Heymensz,wordt het eerst,ook zonder familienaam, genoemd in 1635.26 Met familienaam wordt hij het eerst genoemd in 1656, als Govert Hijmanse de Roos,op een lidmatenlijst van de Andelse kerk (samen met ‘sijne huisvrouw’).In datzelfde jaar wordt hij ook Govert Heymans Rosa genoemd.

A(e)l(d)ert Heymensz is first mentioned in the baptismal deed of his daughter Neelke in 1655, where we also see that his wife is called Wijlke Ariens de Jongh. The first clue that Aeldert also has the surname is found in the following act: March 3, 1660[7] Alen Heymensz Roosa neighbor to Herwijnen has carved and commissioned for half of four merge lands untouched and untouched with the inherits of Govert Ariensz de Jongh in the direction of Hellouw within the paelgraeft located between the land of Jasper Geritz east and Gerardt Falcken west To the south of Willem Jansz cum suis end north <...> off soo who with eight feet of scorpions located in Herwijnen's direction below the middle of each one end up with half the once thine of eight guilders The inheritance of Govert Ariens de Jongh was foreseen in one eye and to possess it and to compare it with the aforementioned vertech daer and he believed and ended the estate of Arien Meertens and the borders of his ways away from him. <1660> "

A(e)l(d)ert Heymensz wordt het eerst genoemd in de doopakte van zijn dochter Neelke in 1655, waar we ook in lezen dat zijn vrouw Wijlke Ariens de Jongh heet. De eerste aanwijzing dat ook Aeldert de familienaam gaat voeren wordt gevonden in de volgende akte:3 maart 1660 [8] Alen Heymensz Roosa nabuer tot Herwijnen heeft vercoft en opgedragen voor de helfte van vier mergen lants onverscheijden end onverdeijlt met de erven van Govert Ariensz de Jongh inne den gerichte van Hellouw binnen den paelgraeft gelegen tusschen lant van Jasper Geritz oost en Gerardt Falcken west streckende ten zuijden aen lant van willem Jansz cum suis end ten noorden <...> off soo wie en met laste van acht voeten schoordijcks gelegen inne den gerichte van Herwijnen beneden het middel van elk hoeft ende met de helfte van eens thijns van acht gulden jaerlicxs d’erven van Govert Ariens de Jongh voorschreve in eenen eygen dom erfflick te hebben en te besitten ende comparant voornoemd ver teech daer op en hij geloofde en ende ten waervanne den boedel van Arien Meertens en borders van sijnen wegh t’onzen lanrecht actum iii martii <1660>"

There is some reason to assume that a fourth son must have been. At one of his first performances as ships at the Bank of Tuil, Abraham Gijsbertsz Roosa dealt with a case of Gijsbert Hijmensz: 12 August 1638 Schepenen: Goirt Janssoon, Roosa Ick Roosa Hebbe believes Imbert Janssoon graft' Gijsbert Hijmensz 'as man and momboir sijn der huijs lady Dirksken Jans at meydach in the touring years 1639 to pay one hundred fourteenwintich guild eight pennies as a rest of coop Pennies of eagerness my lord my soon Gijsbert as a hymn commanded for connecting my person and all my possessing and unqualified gods t onsen lantrecht den xii august <1638>

Er is enige reden om aan te nemen dat er nog een vierde zoon geweest moet zijn. Bij een van zijn eerste optredens als schepen bij de Bank van Tuil, behandelt Abraham Gijsbertsz Roosa een zaak van Gijsbert Hijmensz:12 augustus 1638[9] Schepenen: Goirt Janssoon, Roosa Ick Roosa hebbe gelooft Imbert Janssoon ent Gijsbert Hijmensz als man ende momboir sijn der huijs vrouwe Dirksken Jans op meydach in den toecomende jaere 1639 te betalen hondert vierentwintich gulden acht stuivers als reste van coop penningen van achtalf hont lants mijns soon Gijsbert als huijden opgedragen daer voor verbindende mijn persoon ende alle mijne hebbende ende vercrijgene guederen t onsen lantrecht den xii augusti <1638>

A tiend was a tax of 10% to be payed in this case to this religious institution. The actual collection of this tax was delegated to the inhabitants of the village that had to pay. The one winning this "pacht" in auction payed a fixed amount, then went on to collect this tax from his neighbours, and if he collected more than the agreed amount, he could keep the profit.

About Gijsbert Goertzen Roosa

http://www.angelfire.com/mt/hist/Residents.html

GIJSBERT GOERTTZEN (Geurtsz) (ROSA), born circa 1550-7 of Herwijnen, died after February 27, 1619, aged at least 62 years

The earliest record so far found mentioning Gijsbert Goirts is in 1579, at which time he is a married man. After which he is found on a regular basic buying and selling real estate as well as borrowing and lending money in the years 1581-1612; from these he appears to have been a man of substantial means. Church warden in the years 1612-1615. In 1616 and in 1619 he acted as guardian for the children of his deceased son ALERT GIJSBERTSZ. On July 29, 1579 GHIJSBERT GOIRTSEN, on behalf of his wife, sells to GHIJSBERT REYERSEN: half of 19 hont of land in Herwijnen, in Gheertkenshoeff (Geertjeshoef), adjacent above: the heirs of Goesen van Oenzelaer and below: Engbert Claesen, stretching from the Broickgraeff (Broekgraaf) to the Middelsloet (Middelsloot) . The other half of this property is owned by ARNT THONISEN. Security: his house and homestead in Herwijnen. (Judicial Archives of Tuil, no. 1243, fol. 21vso. Transcribed and translated by Peter Nouwt.)

In one of the many transactions in which GIJSBERT GOIRTS is involved in he can be found on February 15, 1594 with an unusually large borrowing capacity: on that date he promises to pay GHIJSBERT ARIENSEN an annual interest of 60 guilders, commencing on February 22, 1595 which is redeemable by 1000 guilders. As security GIJSBERT GOIRTS puts up his house and yard with land in Herwijnen, inhabited by him. (Judicial Archives of Tuil, no 1244, fol. 100. Transcribed and translated by Peter Nouwt.)

On the church membership list dated December 25, 1612 he and his wife Maria top the list of 22 church members. On June 13, 1615 GHIJSBERT GOERTSEN is given 400 guilders "being the surplus of his administration of the church property of Herwijnen." (Judicial Archives of Tuil, no. 1236, fol. 126. Transcribed and translated by Peter Nouwt.)

The following record is the last one found which indicates Gijsbert was still living: on February 27, 1619 acting as guardian for the children of his deceased son, ALDAERT GHIJSBERTSZ, leased 8 morgen of land in Herwijnen to several people. (Copye-brieven van Gijsbert van Rijckhuijsen, Municipal Archives of Leiden. Transcribed by G.E. Brederode.)

On July 20, 1630 HENDERICK DIRCKSEN FEYTER hands over to the heirs of GIJSBERT GOIRTSEN the inheritance, that he (Feyter) had obtained from his grandmother and was sold by him to GIJSBERT GOIRTSEN. (Judicial Archives of Tuil, no 1246, fol. 330vso. Transcribed and translated by Peter Nouwt.) In none of the records found thus far Gijsbert Goirts has not been found with a surname.

Gijsbert was married prior to July 29, 1579 to MARIA (Marije) ALERTS, probably born before the year 1558 at Herwijnen, died after April 28, 1615, daughter of A-I-b.

From this marriage:

1 AL(D)ERT GIJSBERTS (ROSA), born circa 1580-84 of Herwijnen, follows A-III-a. 2 HEIJMEN GIJSBERTS (ROSA), born circa 1580-85 of Herwijnen, follows A-III-b. 3 ABRAHAM GIJSBERTS ROOSA, born circa 1585-90 of Herwijnen, follows A-III-c.

from www.boydhouse.com

Gijsbert Goertzen owned land, mainly in Herwijnen, Gelderland, Netherlands. He may have been the son of Goert Reyers and Jutta van Hoickelum. Gijsbert married Maria Alarts. Maria was the daughter of Alert Dircxsen and Aricken — and was born in Herwijnen, Gelderland, Netherlands. She had three brothers, Goosen, Bruysten, and Dirck, and one sister, Beert. Maria and her siblings were “brought up at their parents’ homestead”.

Gijsbert and Maria had:

1. Abraham Gijsberts, married 1) Marijeke Cornelis in Nov 1612 in Herwijnen, Gelderland, Netherlands and 2) Jenneke Theunisse.

2. Alart Ghijsbertsen, married Metken Walravensdr., died (murdered) 1615.

3. Heijman Guijsberts, married IJken Jans Kuijsten.

They may have had these daughters (found on the Herwijnen church membership lists):

4. Guertje Gijsberts.

5. Eijke Gijsberts.

6. Baertje Gijsberts.

----------------------------

Gijsbert Goertzen (Geurtsz, Goirts, Goirtsen, Govertsen, Goorits) stands more than 40 indications in old Judicial Archives of the High Bank (= Court) of Tuil, dated between 1579 and 1630. In none of the documents is he found with a surname. We find among other things:

20 July 1630 (HBT no.1246, fol.330 vso)

Abraham and Heymen Gijsbertsen, the last mentioned on behalf of the children of his late brother Alert Gijsbertsen, jointly as heirs of their father and grandfather Gijsbert Goirtsen, sells to Henderick Dircksen Feyter: the property deed of a premises and an orchard in Herwijnen, called Beyerslant, which had been transferred on 11 July 1610 by the Lord van Oyen to Gijsbert Goirtsen.

We not only determine that Heymen Gijsbertsz and Abraham Gijsbertsz [Ro(o)sa] both are sons of Gijsbert Goertzen, but also a deceased brother Alert, whose children have Heymen as their guardian. Other heirs of Gijsbert Goertzen do not appear to be there. If Gijsbert has had daughters, they had no children and they died before the date mentioned. Also we find,

28 April 1615 (HBT no. 1246, fol.12 vso)13 Ghijsbert Goirtsen and Maria, married couple, make their will with the respect to the heritage which the four under age children of Alart Ghijsbertsen will inherit instead of their father. In the event that one of the children dies without legitimate heirs that part becomes the inheritance of the other children or differently by the family of their father.

Gijsbert's wife is thereby called Maria. His son Alert (Alart), who is already deceased in 1615 already, has four children under 21. About Maria we learn more in the next document:

10 October 1630 (HBT no.9, fol. 316)13 Lady Maria van Herwijnen, widow of Lord Walraven van Hemert, 72 years old, Merten Jansen Sterck, 80 years old, and Wouter Otten, 74 years old, testify at the request of Abraham Gijsbertsen, inhabitant of Herwijnen, who Marije Alarts, wife of Gijsbert Goirtsen, Bruysten Alarts, during his life resident in Rumpt, Dirck Alarts, during his life resident in Gorinchem, and Beert Alarts, the former wife of Aert Anthonissen, four brothers and sisters, who were the children of Alert Dircxsen and his wife Aricken. The four children all were born in Herwijnen and in the homestead of their parents, which is now the property of Abraham Gijsbertsen.

Gijsbert's wife thus is called Maria (Marije) Alarts. She named her son Alert after her father. Her sister Beert married with Aert Thonissen. The last in transcript Fig. 4 already encountered, so that the family relation suspected earlier is confirmed. Abraham Gijsbertsz inhabits a farmstead in 1630, that earlier was his maternal grandfather's. That Gijsbert Goertzen has come into possession of considerable parts of his wife's family &ltholdings&gt (among which obviously also the rights in the domain of the Geertgenshoeff, as mentioned in the transcript of Fig. 4), we read from the next document:

11 May 1591 (HBT no.1244, fol.57)13 Aert Thonissen hands over to Ghijsbert Goirtsen: the property and the rights that he and his wife Bertken had inherited from his brothers-in-law Bruysten and Goosen Alartsen.

Most of the remaining forty documents in the files of the High Bank of Tuil relate to Gijsbert Goertzen purchases and sales of real estate and on the providing of loans. Given the later prosperity of his offspring he seems to have done quite well for himself and for his family. He was also kerkmeester {church master}. That becomes clear from the next documen:

13 June 1615 (HBT no.1246, fol.126)13 Jan Hoen hands over to Ghijsbert Goertsen: 400 guilders, which are the remainder of his administration concerning the ecclesiastical property of Herwijnen.

Together with his wife, he stands at the top the list of church members in the year 25 December 1612. His son Alert with his wife Metken are mentioned as well. Heymen and Abraham are not found there. Abraham, appears on a later list (from 1645), presumably he was too young (in 1612). That may also count for Heymen, but it also could be possible that meanwhile he had already left for Andel.

Patronymics!!! His GRANDSON Aldert was the first to use the surname Roosa when the British took over the colony and made everyone pick a surname and stay with it. No one has () in their name. See attached sources!

Roosa History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The ancient and distinguished surname Roosa is derived from the Middle High German word "rose," meaning "a rose." The name may have been first borne by someone who lived near a rose garden, or by someone who lived in a house bearing the sign of the rose. Alternatively, the name may be of nickname origin, referring to someone with a "rosy" complexion. The surname is common in many European countries, including England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as Germany, and can be found under a large number of spelling variations.

Early Origins of the Roosa Family

The surname Roosa was first found in Silesia, where the name emerged in mediaeval times as one of the notable families of the region. From the 13th century the surname was identified with the great social and economic evolution which made this territory a landmark contributor to the development of the nation. The origins of the name make it likely that several branches of the family emerged independently during the Middle Ages; there are records dating from the 13th documenting the presence of the name Roosa in Schleswig-Holstein, Pomerania, Alsace, Swabia, and Bohemia, as well as Silesia.

Roosa Name Meaning

This surname of Roosa is of Yiddish, German, French and English origin, from the name of the rose-flower, and originally rendered in the Latin form Rosa. In part it is a topographic name for someone who lived at a place where wild roses grew. In a town it can also be a house name from a dwelling bearing the sign of the rose. It is also found, especially in Europe, as a nickname for a man with a 'rosy complexion'. Surnames having a derivation from nicknames form the broadest and most miscellaneous class of surnames, encompassing many different types of origin. The most typical classes refer adjectivally to the general physical aspect of the person concerned, or to his character. Many nicknames refer to a man's size or height, while others make reference to a favoured article of clothing or style of dress. Many surnames derived from the names of animals and birds. In the Middle Ages ideas were held about the characters of other living creatures, based on observation, and these associations were reflected and reinforced by large bodies of folk tales featuring animals behaving as humans. The name has numerous variant spellings which include Rosone, Rosencrantz (rose wreath), Rosenberg (rose hill), Rosenbloom (rose flower), Rosenhaus (rose house), Rosensaft (rose juice) to name but a few. A notable member of the name was Salvator Rosa (1615-73) the Italian painter and poet, born near Naples. At Rome, his rebellious talents as a painter brought him fame, but he made powerful enemies by his satires and withdrew to Florence for nine years. After that he returned to Rome, where he died. His 'Satires' were published in 1719 In the Middle Ages heraldry came into use as a practical matter. It originated in the devices used to distinguish the armoured warriors in tournament and war, and was also placed on seals as marks of identity. As far as records show, true heraldry began in the middle of the 12th century, and appeared almost simultaneously in several countries of Western Europe.

Roosa Spelling Variations

Spelling variations of this family name include: Rose, Rosse, Rhose, Roese, Roser, Roeser, Roze, Roos, Roose, Roosa, Roosen and many more.

Roosa Settlers in United States in the 17th Century

Albert Heymans Roosa, who landed in New Netherland(s) in 1620-1664

The Roosa Family of Ulster and Dutchess Counties, New York

By Holdridge Ozro Collins, of Los Angeles, California

Provided by Mike Holland

https://sites.rootsweb.com/~wvahca/Roosa_family_NY.htm

The ancestor of the Roosa family in America was Albert Heymans Roosa. He landed in New Netherlands in April 1660, coming in the ship called the "Spotted Cow", in company with Roeloff Swartwout and others.

The record of his arrival is found in "Documentary History of New York", Volume 3, page 56, under the chapter entitled "Early Immigrants to New Netherland, 1657-1664". The account is as follows:

"Albert Heymans, agriculturist, from Gelderland, and wife and eight children."

The wife of Albert Heymans Roosa was named Wyntje Allard or Ariens, and soon after their arrival they settled in the Esopus district at Wiltwyck, now Kingston, Ulster County, New York.

At this place, with Cornelis Barents Slecht and wife Tryntje Bos, Mathese Blanchan and wife Madeline Jorisse, Roeloff Swartwout and wife Eva Alberts Bradt de Noorman, and others, Albert Heymans Roosa and his wife Wyntje Allard participated in the first Administration of the Lord's Supper on December 25, 1660, by the Rev. Harmanus Bloem.

Roosa was a wealthy man for those days, bringing with him considerable property from Holland, and he speedily "occupied an influential position in the new settlement". In the Spring of 1661, he joined in a contract guaranteeing a salary to Domine Bloem who had been called as the regular pastor of the Dutch Church at Wiltwyck/

The following is a copy of that agreement:

The undersigned inhabitants of the settlement at the place called Esopus, promise to give our reverend minister Harmanus Bloem as salary for the first year (which salary has commenced with his arrival here, on the 5th of September, 1660) the sum of seven hundred guilders in corn, at beaver valuation, in case his farm should fail and we promise further to put the farm in good order according to contract, as soon as the land has been allotted and to raise that sum at the latest for the coming farming season. This we the undersigned, promise faithfully and truly to do.

This done the 4th of March 1661.

See "Documents relating to the History and Settlements of the Towns along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers", page 194; being Volume 13, old series, and Volume 2, new series of "Documents relating to the Colonial History of the State of New York; The History of Kingston, New York", page 22. By Marius Schoonmaker, of Kingston.

"Esopus (Kingston) was then without any local government, and, in fact a dependency of Fort Orange (Albany). The People were dissatisfied with such a dependent position, and wanted a government of their own. About that time Roeloff Swartwout, a son of one of the original settlers, visited Holland, and through his representations, and other influences, the Amsterdam Directors of the West India Company determined to make the Esopus settlement and independent jurisdiction."

In pursuance of such a plan, they passed an order appointing Roeloff Swartwout, Schout of Esopus, his jurisdiction embracing the powers of sheriff and "the duties of presiding officer of the of the Court in civil actions, and the duties of prosecutin attorney in criminal proceedings".

Pursuant to the directions of Their Lords High Mightinesses of Holland, Governor Stuyvesant and his Council, at New Amsterdam on May 16, 1661, granted a charter to organize a civil government at Wiltwyck.

The order was in Dutch and it is recorded in the Wiltwyck records. The following is a translation thereof:

"May 16, 1661. Director General Petrus Stuyvesant, delegated and authorized in all matters of government relating to the public welfare of all the county of New Netherland, by power and commission from the noble Lord Directors of the privileged West India Company, observing the situation and condition of a place called the Esopus, which hath now been inhabited and settled six or seven years; hath, in consideration of the situation and population thereof, erected the locality into a village and given it the name of Wiltwyck, whereby it shall be called now and henceforward".

A copy of the Charter, etc. is to be found in Schoonmaker's "History of Kingston", pages 24-28, and Appendix, pages 503-506, and in "Documents relating to the History and Settlements of the Towns along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers", above cited, at oages 196-198. See also "History of the State of New York, First Period 1609-1664", page 690. By John Romeyn Brodhead.

By this Charter; Evert Pels, Cornelis Barentsen Slecht and Elbert Heymans Roose were appointed the first three Schepens, or Magistrates, who with the presiding Schout, Roeloff Swartwout completed "the Organization of the first village and first judicial tribunal in this section of the State". A copy of the oath of office of the three Schepens is given on page 196 of Documents, etc., above cited.

In 1661 Roosa was appointed one of the three Commissioners to enclose the New Village at the Esopus, called Hurley. See also "The Register of New Netherland, 1626 to 1674". By E.B. O'Callaghan, L.L.D. pages 71 and 158. This volume is the "Blue Book" of the Dutch and French Huguenot Families of early New Netherland.

In 1662 a schedule of the old and newly surveyed lots in Wiltwyck with the names of their owners, was made out, and in the "List of old lots, before the place was laid out", appear the names of Evert Pels, owner of lot 2, and Jan Broersen Dekker owner of lot 11. In the "List of lots newly laid out", Albert Heymans Roosa appears as the owner of lot 24, and Juriaen Westvael as owning lot 25. Documents, etc., page 230. "History of Kingston", pages 28-29.

At the destruction of the village of Hurley, on June 7, 1663, by the Indians, two of the children of Roosa, with 43 others, women and children, were taken captive. The story of the rescue of these captives by colonial forces under command of Captain Martin Kriegier is one of the most interesting of the episodes in the history of early New York. It may be found in Documents, etc., page 256 et seq. and page 323 et seq.; Doc. Hist., N. Y., Volume 4, page 39 et seq., and in "Bi-Centenary Re-Union of the Descendants of Louis and Jacques Du Bois.

The authorities above cited contain many accounts of the acts of Roosa in the early making of Kingston, in all of which he appears as a leader and director of events.

In September, 1665, soon after New Netherland had become a Province of Great Britain, the English Governor, Richard Nicolls, visited Kingston and placed Captain Daniel Brodhead in command at that place. Owing to that officer's tyrannical conduct, and the many acts of oppression and cruelty by the English soldiers under his command, the inhabitants rose in open hostility in 1667.

In their petition to Governor Nicolls for redress, the inhabitants set forth numerous deed of cruelty by the soldiers; eight of the items are as follows, viz:

"1. Cornelis Barentsen Slecht is beaten in his owne house by his Souldr. George Porter, and after this by the other Souldrs. forced to prison, and was by some souldrs, at his imprisonment used very hard.

3. It is happened that Capt. Brodhead comminge at the house of Lewis Du Bois tooke an anchor of Brandy and throwed it upon the ground because sd. Bois Refused him Brandy without paiment, and did Likewise force this sd. Bois to give him Brandy.

4. And the sd. Bois his wife coming for hur monny at the sd. Brodheads house, he drove the said Bois his wife, with a beare kynff out of his house.

6. Albert Heymans Roos, going with his plouw yron toward the Smits, was assaulted by five souldrs. whoe wounded him very much, whereupon

7. The souldiers said the sd. Albert Heymans going without any Reason brought him to Imprisonment was most griviously wounded by Richard Hamer.

12. John Cornelissen Smith, going alonge the Streete was assalted & persecuted to his verry shop & was Like

13. to have been murthered by George Porter, but he was hindered in his desseyn by Frans Vreeman; and the sd. George Porter hath Likewise upon the sd. day in open streete assaulted Roeloff Swartwout.

14. Cornelia Barentsen Slecht, beinge by Capt. Brodhead very ill treated, in his owne house, was afterwards by the sd. Capt. forced to prison, and his armes by force taken out of his house, wch still doe Remaine by the sd. Capt. Brodhead."

Governor Nicolls on April 16, 1667, appointed a Commission to enquire into their troubles, and in his letter of instructions, he says:

"Albert Heymans and Anthony D. Elba have spoken most malicious words, and I look upon them as great incendiaries and disaffected persons; if their words be proved they shall not be suffered to live in this governmentl; if they have been actors in the late riot, pitch upon them two for ringleaders, and give orders to inventory and secure their estates by the Schout and Commissioners".

Documents, etc., page 407. "History of Kingston", pages 52-57. These troubles are called the "Mutiny at Esopus" in the histories of the time.

The Commission appointed by Governor Nicholls sat at Esopus for three days. Captain Brodhead, admitting the truth of the charges against him was suspended from his command and he died three months afterwards, on July 14, 1667, at Esopus.

Albert Heymans Roosa, Cornelis Barentsen Slecht, and two others "were found guilty of a rebellious and mutinous riot, and were taken to New York for sentence. Nicholls, by advice of his council on the 3rd of May, sentenced Heymans to be banished for life out of the government, and the others for shorter terms out of Esopus, Albany and New York. All these

sentences of the burghers were subsequently modified, and the offenders returned to Esopus.

Governor Francis Lovelace restored Roosa to favor, and in 1669 appointed him and Louis Du Bois two of the Overseers for Hurley, called New Dorp, or New Village. In 1673 he was confirmed as one of the officers at Esopus by Governor Anthony Colve, and described as "Captain Albert Heymans, who had been prominent in the riot of 1667".

The records state that in 1669 "Albert Heymensen peticond to sett up a Brewhouse and tanffatts in Hurley", and an order was made to grant permission".

His name appears with that of his son Arien Albertson Roosa and those of Jacob Jansen Van Etten, Jan Jansen Van Etten, Thomas Quick, Roeloff Swartwout, Mattys Blanchan, Louys 'Du Bois and others, to petition to Sir Edmond Andros, Governor of New York, praying that he would assist them in procuring a minister for Esopus "that can can preache bothe Inglish and Dutche, wch. will bee most fitting for this place, it being in its Minority". Documents, etc.,pages 543-4. Doc. Hist., N.Y., Volume 3, page 965.

Albert Heymans Roosa served in the military forces of the Colony as mustering officer and in other capacities, and on April 5, 1670, at the military rendezvous held at Marbletown, he was present as Sergeant of Captain Henry Pawling's Company at which also appeared his son Arie Roosa as private, and in 1673 Albert was Captain of a company recruited from Hurley and Marbletown. See "Second Annual Report of the State Historian of New York", pages 378-379, 384. See also, same volume, pages 185, 191, 198, 201, 204-7, 266, 276, 285, 287, 290, 294, 298 and 427 for accounts of Albert and his son Captain Arie Roosa.

Albert Heymans Roosa died at Hurley on February 27, 1679. In 1685 his widow, Wyntje Allard secured a grant of 320 acres at Hurley.

Interesting article that says we may have Jewish blood in our ancestry...

From: BILL DECOURSEY Subject: Jewish settlers in Recife, Brazil and New Amsterdam Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 23:23:04 -0500

I've been following with great interest the discussion concerning the possible Jewish roots of my ancestor Albert Hymanse ROOSA. It's entirely possible (and doesn't surprise me) that he was Jewish; but not necessarily the first Jew in the Dutch Colonies. I had read somewhere (I wish that I had recorded the source; but I think that it might have been E. B. O'Callaghan's HISTORY OF NEW NETHERLAND) that the earliest Jewish settlement in the Western Hemisphere had been established in the Dutch Colony at Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. In 1644 the Portuguese had driven many of the Dutch out of the settlements in Brazil, and refugees from there (most likely including some Jews) sailed for the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. This all happened from about five to fifteen years before our Albert Heymanse ROOSA arrived in New Amsterdam.

In 1855, another of my ancestors, Teunis CRAY, was critisized by the authorities of New Amsterdam for having sold his home to a Jew. I read elsewhere that Teunis CRAY's land was the land on which the first Jewish synagogue was built on the North American continent.

Here's what I have recorded on the subject --- From my notes:

Albert Heymanse ROOSA married about 1642, to Wyntje Aariens de Jonge, dau. of Adrian Miertensen de Jongh. They had children: Arien ROOSA m. Maria, dau. of Evert PELS; Heyman ROOSA m. Margaret ROOSEVELT; Jan Albertse ROOSA m. Helligoud Williams vanBUREN; Aaghe ROOSA m. 1670 Dr. Roeloff KIERSTED; Mary ROOSA, m.1672, Laurens Jansen KORTRIGHT vanBEEST, son of Jan BASTIAENSEN; Neeltje ROOSA m. 1676 Henry PAWLING; Jannetje ROOSA m. 1679 Mathys Ten EYCK; Aert ROOSA; Annetje ROOSA; Guert ROOSA. OLDE ULSTER HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE, v.8, p.233-243; James Riker, REVISED HISTORY OF HARLEM (1904), p.412n; Eva Alice Scott, JACOBUS JANSEN VAN ETTEN (1952), p.133-135.

In May of 1644 between four and five hundred persons in the Dutch West India Company's service at the Dutch outposts in Maranham and Recife, Brazil were forced out by the Portuguese and were forced to take refuge in Curacoa. "As it was impossible to furnish, or indeed to procure food for so many people, it was determined to remove the greater part of them to New Netherland. One Hundred and thirty soldiers under the command of Captain Jan de FRIES, and a number of other persons the whole amounting to about two hundred souls, were accordingly embarked on board the Blue Cock, commanded by Captain Willem Cornelissen OUDEMARKT, for New Amsterdam.
