THE ALBANY PROTOCAL edited by John P Dern
VAN HOESEN Back
Jan Fransse VAN HOESEN (1608/09-1665). b. at Husum(46) in 1608/09(47) d.
1665, just before the formation of the Albany Lutheran congregation. As Jan Franz
VAN HOUSOM, he was married in the Dutch Reformed Nieuwe Kerk at
Amsterdam May 15, 1639 to Volkje Juriaens van Noorstrant.(48) The church
banns(49) of April 30, 1639 are translated thus: "Appeared as before, Jan Franz from
Housom. sailor, age 30 years, living in the Corte Tuijnstraat, having no parents but
assisted(50) by his cousin Anna Jans, and Volckje Juriaens daughter from
Noorstrant, age about 21 years, of the same [street], having no parents but assisted by
her acquaintance. Isaack Pietersen." Volckje was born about 1618e and was a sister
of Annetje Juriaens, wife of Andties Herbertz Constapel (51) who was at
Rensselaerswyck from 1640 to 1662.
In Amsterdam on March 28, 1639 Jan Franssen van Hoesen, age about 31 years,
previously a sailor in New Netherland illthe service of the West India Company,
together with six others, signed an agreement with Kiliaen 'van Renselaer {sic]
concerning immediate passage to and settlement in the colony of
Rensselaerswyck.(52) The colonists guaranteed to remain for four years. More
interestingly, the document makes reference to sailing "in God's Name with the ship
that now lies ready. " How long the ship lay ready or whether it waited seven weeks
for the prospective bridegroom is a question. Quite probably it did, for at least four of
those signing the agreement have been shown to have sailed on den Harinck in May
1639.(53) They arrived in New Amsterdam on July 7, 1639 and appeared in the
accounts of Kiliaen van Rensselaer beginning in that year.
A son was born in New Amsterdam in 1640, but Jan Fransz van Hoesen, sailor,
was again in Amsterdam(54) on March 10, 1647, when he gave a power of attorney
to Jan Janss van Brestyn, cooper, to claim from Abraham Plank at Fort Amsterdam in
New Neatherland seventeen beaverskins which were due him .(55) He had
permanently settled in the Hudson area, however, by 1652, when he was granted a lot
in Albany, seemingly on the northeast corner of today’s Broadway and State Street.
An adjoining garden lot above the town's stockade by the River was granted him in
the following year, and the two parcels were confirmed by patent on May 11,
1667(56)
In 1662 he bought land at Claverack from the Indians. This included the present
city of Hudson and extended from Stockport Creek southward along the River to
Kishna's Kil at South Bay and eastward beyond Claverack Creek. The land was
patented May 11. 1667.(57) and was transferred, in whole or in part, to his heirs in
accordance with contracts of May 30, 1667 and June 22, 1694.(58) A house built
here by a son or grandson stood in ruins in 1925 on land of the Knickerbocker
Cement Company, east of Hudson, and a lintel bearing a 1729 date was still in the
Cement Company offices ?(59)
After his death, (60) his widow married Gerrit VISBEECK. The following outline
of the Van Hoesen Family is based on work by Schermerhorn, (61) Becker,(62) and
Clark.(63) The latter estimated that Jan Fransse van Hoesen was the grandfather of a
third of Justus Falckner's congregation and the ancestor of 15% of the present
population of Green County.

about 1653 between Jan van Hoesen. his next-door neighbor Jochem Weasels, and
their respective wives Volckgen and Gertrude. Van Hoesen had taken over old
Captain Willein Juriaens' place, agreeing to let him live the rest of his life there.
The Captain was to teach Van Hoesen the baker'a trade, thus putting him in
competition with his neighbor Weasel. After the two families were later reconciled, a
Van Hoesen daughter worked as a maid for the Weasels (1657}. Weasel. who had
also come from northern Germany. became a respected leader in the Lutheran
Church and died in 1680.
