!He m. Tryntje Gerritsen FOCKEN in 1692 according to PC on file at Cypress FH Library. She was b. abt. 1671 and lived in New Paltz, Ulster, NY. FTM says: " Solomon DuBois was horn in 1670, while his parents resided in Hurley. He married, about 1692, Tryntje Gerritson, who was the daughter of Gerrit Cornelissen." "He died in 1759 at the great age of 89 years. We do not know where he is buried. Solomon was a man of much influence, was an officer in the New Paltz church, occupied civil trusts, and accumulated much landed property not only at New Paltz, but in Green County and at Perkiomen, Chester county, now Lancaster county, Pa. Louis DuBois, the Patentee, received June 2, 1688, from Gov. Dongan, a patent for a large tract of land,on which his sons Solomon and Louis Jr. located, lying on both sides of the Wallkill. Solomons house, built on this tract was quite probably the first house built outside of the village. From a tax list laid by the provincial government, which included a tax on chimneys, it appeared that Solomon's house had two chimneys." Outside of the village, in Southern Ulster county was a place called by the Indian name of Poughwoughtenonk. Here lived Solomon and Louis, Jr., the sons of Solomon. "Solomon left a family of four sons and four daughters. The sons were Isaac, who settled at Perkiomen, Pa., Benjamin, who settled at Catskill, and Cornelius and Hendricus, who settled on their father's estate in Ulster county. Solomon's daughters married as follows: Jacomyntje married her cousin Barent, son of Jacob; Sarah married Simon Van Wagenen, Kingston; Helena married Josiah Elting of New Paltz, and Catharine married Peter Low of New Paltz. "The name of Solomon DuBois appears with the title of lieutenant in the documentary history of New York, Vol. III, page 972, and he is credited with active military service. He was one of the trustees of the corporation of Kingston in 1695-6 and he probably lived there for several years before locating at Pouglwought enonk." pp. 481-2. Jan Eltinge, the third husband of Jacomyntje Schlect, was also born in Holland and settled at, or near New Paltz. "Being associated as above, with Cornelius Shecht, one of the first settlers of Esopus, be doubtless became intimate with him and his family, thus forming an acquaintance with Cornelius' daughter Jacomyntje, whom be married about the year 1677. The mother of Jacomyntje was Tryntje Tyssenbos. Jacomyntje had two previous husbands, Jan Barentsen Kunst and Gerrit Foecken, by whom she lad four children one of whom by Gerrit Foecken, named Tryntje married Solomon DuBois of New Paltz. Jan Elten took out a patent for land in Hurley. Jan Eltinge and his wife Jacomyntje had five children as follows : Roelif, baptized in 1678 who settled in New Paltz and married Sarah DuBois ; Cornelius, baptized in 1661, who settled in Marbletown and married Rebecca Van Meeteren; William, who settled in Kingston, and married Janetje Lester; Grietje, who married Thos.

BOOK: Memorials of the Huguenots In Ame

BOOK: Memorials of the Huguenots In America By Rev. A. Stapleton, A.M., M.S. 1964 Page 30-31 In 1660 Louis du Bois, who had sojourned a number of years at Manheim in the Palatinate, came to New Netherlands, and with a number of others established the colony of New Paltz, near the present site at NewKingston, in Ulster County. This region was called "Esopus," and was a favorite place of settlement for the Huguenots, and from whence many came to Pennsylvania in later years. Page 58 That sturdy old Huguenot, Louis Dubois, of Ulster county, N.Y. gave posterity to several of Pennsylvania's best families. A son, Abraham, with his daughter, Mrs. Philip Ferree, located in Pequea, as is elsewhere noted. In 1713 his son, Solomon Dubois (1670-1759), became joint proprietor of a large tract of land in the Perkiomen Valley and is supposed to have resided there. Isaac Dubois, a son of Solomon, became seated on this estate in 1716 and died here in 1729.
