From The New York Historical Society Collections, this 1892-1902 volume features abstracts of

wills on file in the Surrogates Office, City of New York, from 1665 to 1800.

• As in all the preceding volumes, the labor of preparing the Abstracts has been done by William S.

Pelletreau, one of the members of the Society, and the Index has been made by the Librarian.

In December 1637 he arrived in Flatlands, Long Island, New Amsterdam aboard a Dutch vessel named the Calmar Sleutel.

He rented and cultivated a farm for more than 20 years, then in 1660 he purchased 50 acres of land, and in 1665 he purchased more land.

In some genealogy materials it is stated that in 1685 "Albert Albertse and Jacques Cortelyou and their associates obtained from Governor Carterett a patent for 5,000 acres in Aquaekanock on the Passiac River in Bergen County, East New Jersey. This purchase was the beginning of the settlement that eventually became the town of Hackensack." (quoted on page 3 of Gloryanna Terhune’s book). The Terhune history on the Terhune Family Home Page raises doubts about this purchase of land but says it was definitely Albert’s son Jan who moved to New Jersey and “built the first gambrel roofed house in that area. No longer in existence, it is pictured in a 1934 newspaper article.”

Albert Albertse died in Flatlands, Long Island, in New Amsterdam in 1685. His wife Geertje died in 1693. They had 8 children, all born in the Flatlands.

1. ALBERT ALBERTSE1 TERHEUNEN1 was born about 1619, possibly in Huenen, Gelderland Province, Netherland2 and died after February 22, 1685 in Flatlands, Kings County, New York.3 He married Geertje Dircks4,5 about 1648 in Flatlands, Kings County, New York. She was born about 1622 in Netherland and died before April 15, 1693 in Flatlands, Kings County, New York.

   ALBERT ALBERTSE TERHEUNEN emigrated December 1637, aboard the Calmar Sleuthel6, 7 with Captain Peter Minuit.

In January 23, 1657, he obtained a patent for 25 morgens (50 acres) along with Jacques Cortelyou and others to establish the village of New Utrecht.
In June 17, 1660, Albert bought Jacob Steendam's November 12, 1652 patent for a plantation in Flatlands and obtained a deed on July 16, 1660 [Calendar of New York Historical Manuscripts, page 214] (see map on page 27)
In court on August 19, 1660, a judgment was issued against Albert Albertsen, ribbon Weaver, "for not removing into the village [New Utrecht] agreeably to the ordinance" [Calendar of Historical Manuscripts...edited by E. B. O'Callaghan page 216]
On December 29, 1675, Albert bought 30 morgens of land from Elbert Elbertse Stoothoff "situated under Amesfoort, on the west side of the Gravesant wagon path..." [Keskachauge, pages 718 to 719] (See map on page 27)
He was buried in 1685 in the Dutch Reformed Church churchyard cemetery in Flatlands, Kings County, New York.
It is our belief that Albert emigrated in December 1637, as an indentured servant, aboard the Swedish ship, Kalmar Nyckel (Calmar Sleuthel, in Dutch). However, in all candor, it must be noted that there are those who beg to differ, interpreting the sources noted in Footnote 6 to represent the immigration of Elbert Elbertse (Stoothoff), rather than Albert Albertse Terhunen. The distinction, in our view, tends to hang on the description of the young man on the ship as a weaver. Albert Albertse Terhunen is often described as a "Lintwever" or "ribbon weaver" in subsequent church and official New York records. This craft is never associated with Stoothoff in the many references to him.

To further complicate matters, bear in mind that the surnames, Terhunen and Stoothoff, were not adopted until some years after these young men came to America. Kiliaen Van Rensselaer's letters, shown in Endnotes number 6, identify the young man as "Elbert Elbersz" in one letter and as "Elbert Albertsen" in the second, both written on the same day. There is little doubt that the "young man was either Terhune or Stoothoff", nonetheless, the sad fact remains that, barring the unlikely discovery of new evidence, we shall never know for certain. Nevertheless, there is also no doubt that Terhunen either came aboard the Calmar Sleuthel or he came over soon after on another ship.

       There is an erroneous misconception concerning Albert Albertse Terhunen that is repeated in many texts. It concerns his arrest and fine for not destroying his house and moving into the village of New Utrecht in 1660. The error is that the reason for this action was given as Indian raids that required the colonists to consolidate their people into safer locations. This is not accurate.

The real reason is that Governor Stuyvesant wanted to establish villages in Western Long Island as a buffer against the English that had been claiming all of Long Island and also as additional farmers to grow crops for the increasing population in New Amsterdam. To that end, he endorsed a petition of Jacques Cortelyou to fund a settlement of twenty lots of fifty acres each to be called New Utrecht. As found in the Documentary History of New York, pages 433 to 434: "Let the petition be granted provided that they deliver by the first opportunity a map thereof to the Director General and Council...dated 16 January 1657." Albert Albertsen was one of the twenty granted a patent of fifty acres.

The settlers were also to build a blockhouse, palisades, fences and houses. By 1660, several proclamations had required the patentees to abandon any separate dwellings and move into the village. Albert ignored these injunctions and said he was only "renting" nearby land. In August 1660, he was arrested, jailed and fined 50 guilders. He subsequently moved into New Utrecht. In the same year, Albert bought a two thirds interest in a 400 guilder grain mill that was to be used in New Utrecht.
GEERTJE DIRCKS whose name "Geertje" sounds like "Charity"

       It should be noted that contrary to "popular opinion," Geertje was not a DeNyse. According to court records, only her patronymic is provided:

Tuesday, 16th October 1663, Court Minutes of New Amsterdam "Abraham Pietersen Corbyn, arrestant and plaintiff, versus GEERTJE DIRCKS TERHUNEN, the ribbon weaver's wife, defendant and arrested.
Plaintiff's wife appearing demands from defendant thirty three guilders ten stivers balance according to Abraham Corbyn saying she still has an old a/o, which her husband has with him, whereby something else is also coming to her.
Defendant produces a counter account.
The Court refers the matter in question to Hendrick Jansen Van Der Vin, Old Schepen of this city, and Hans Stein, to take up parties a/c to decide and settle the same, to reconcile the parties if possible, if not, to render their report to the Court, the attachment remaining so long valid, until parties shall agree among themselves." (Upper case emphasis added)
The above identifies Geertje as daughter of Dirck 'unknown'...
There is no record of the given name, Dirck, among the first three generations of DeNyse (Tyssen) family, so it doesn't seem likely that she was of that family.

       Those who claim Geertje to be a DeNyse identify her as the daughter of Teunis Nyssen DeNyse and Femmetie Jans Seals. However, there is no record of a daughter, Geertje. Furthermore, the dates simply don't compute. All of their children were born in the 1640s to 1660s, whereas Geertje was bearing children in the early 1650s.

       In addition, Geertje and Albert Terhune have no children named either Teunis or Femmetie.

Children of ALBERT TERHEUNEN and GEERTJE DIRCKS are: (See Family Group Sheet on page 36)

A TERHUNE FAMILY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY

A TERHUNE FAMILY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY The Swedish Ship Key of Kalmar (Kalmar Nyckel) Family legend says Albert crossed the Atlantic on a ship whose name has come down to us, in the Dutch language, as the Calmar Sleutel, meaning Key of Kalmar. Actually, she was a Swedish ship (in Swedish, Kalmar Nvckel), named for the seaport Kalmar which is in the province of the same name in southeast Sweden. All of the Atlantic crossings of the Key of Kalmar are documented by Amandus Johnson, and her first arrival in America is also described in Hoffecker and Kishon. Accompanied by another Swedish ship named Fogel Gripen (in English, Bird GrifSen), the Key of Kalmar first arrived at Cape Henlopen at the entrance to Delaware Bay in March 1638. The purpose of the voyage was to found the colony of New Sweden on the Delaware River, at the location called Fort Christina after the name of the Swedish monarch, "KEY OF KALMAR'~ (Kalmar Nyckel). From Delaware Bay the Dutch passengers travelled (by means unknown) to the small port and trading post of New Amsterdam, at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, in New Netherland. Supposing that Albert Albertse was among them, he arrived in New Amsterdam in the spring of 1638--or possibly in the spring of 1640, or the early winter of 1641-42. Regardless of in which year, a 17" century trans-Atlantic journey was not very pleasant. Voyages at that time had to be made in comparatively small, slow-sailing ships, which were unconscionably over-crowded, and often inadequately provisioned with food and water. Many captains and greedy ship owners were indifferent to the comfort of their passengers and even disregardful of their lives. One arriving passenger of the time declared that the ship on which he came could be likened to nothing but "Noah's Ark, on account of the differences in the ages, religions, occupations, and social standing of the passengers as well as their division into clean (reasonably) and unclean." He described the fare as being very bad. "Every ten persons received each week three pounds of butter; daily, four cans of beer and two cans of water; at noon, every day in the week, meat; and three days at noon, fish, which the passengers had to dress with their own butter, while every day they had to keep from their dinner enough for their supper. But the worst of it all was that both the meat and the fish were so salty and smelled so strong that they were not palatable." We have no records of Albert's activities after his arrival in New Amsterdam until the year 1654 when he was sued in the Burgomasters and Schepens Court by Wolfet Webber for two years of unpaid services by Webber's son who apparently had been hired by Albert. He called himself a ribbon weaver but, understandably, is not known to have engaged in that or any other trade. I believe there is a reason why Albert is silent about his vocation for his first dozen or so years in America. Family legend says he was employed in some undefined capacity by the Governor. Assuming he was among the five sent to New Amsterdam by the portly van Rensselaer in 1637-38, then he was certainly delivered to the Governor. I conclude that Albert spent several rather dismal and unprofitable years indentured to a lowly position in the Governor's office or residence. The Governor was appointed by the West India Company and held the title of Director General of the Company. His function combined both managing a major branch of the Company as well as the administrative center of the colony. Located at the end of Broadway Street in the southeast comer of New Amsterdam, the governor's "great house," comprising offices, family and guest quarters, was undoubtedly self-sufficient and therefore included a full complement of staff, many of whom were indentured, such as bookkeepers, butlers, cooks, table servants, housekeepers, gardeners, stable hands, coachmen, messengers and clerks. Albert probably served in one of these positions.

more info Albert was not content with life in the Netherlands. His family's wealth had been lost, and he wished to recoup their ruined fortune and once more own a rich estate. He became a ribbon weaver and traveled to New Amsterdam. His ribbon weaving venture failed and he was involved in 2 to 3 years of litigation afterward. He finally turned to farming. He was involved in several suits from 1660-1662 in Flatlands. He was released from prison on his promise to help erect a house in New Utrecht. After building the house, he and his family went to Flatlands, Long Island, where he bought a house and 50 acres. He made several more successful land deals and the 1676 tax rolls show that he had realized his dream of regained wealth. In 1677 he belonged to the Dutch Church at Flatlands, where he is buried. He is on tax roles there between 1676 and 1683. On 27 May 1685, with his son Albert, he obtained a patent for 5000 acres on the Passaic River. Huene is reputed to be just a small crossroads in Lower (and traditionally protestant) Gelderland, not far from Amersfoort (which is in the province of Utrecht). A few years ago a reader of/contributor to "The Terhune Letter" (published and mailed quarterly by Jim Terhune of Batesville, AR) claimed to have driven through Huene in 1972. He was not much impressed by it. Gelderland is about the largest (in area) of the eleven provinces of Nederland and is located in the east of that country along the border with Germany. The capital city of Gelderland is Arnhem. Although the province of Gelderland lies mostly inland, it borders the Zuider Zee and access to both the port of Amsterdam and the more northern port of Texel (where research indicates Albert Albertse Ter Huin embarked for America on the "Key of Kalmar" in December 1637) was and is easy. or at Acquackanok Tract, Passaic Co, NJ? Albert sailed on the Swedish vessel Kalmar Slentel [or Kalmar Nyckel?], landing at the Swedish settlement on Delaware River in Apr1638. Albert and Geertje rente d a farm on the Nyack tract in New Utrecht, Long Island. He built a crude home and dug-out cellar, covered by a heavy thatch of straw. He was arrested and fined 50 Guilders for refusing to destroy his home under orders of the Director General of New Amsterdam during an Indian uprising. He was found guilty of "non-conformity," refused to pay the fine, and went to prison.

Albert was not content with life in the

Albert was not content with life in the Netherlands. His family's wealth had been lost, and he wished to recoup their ruined fortune and once more own a rich estate. He became a ribbon weaver and traveled to New Amsterdam. His ribbon weaving venture failed and he was involved in 2 to 3 years of litigation afterward. He finally turned to farming. He was involved in several suits from 1660-1662 in Flatlands. He was released from prison on his promise to help erect a house in New Utrecht. After building the house, he and his family went to Flatlands, Long Island, where he bought a house and 50 acres. He made several more successful land deals and the 1676 tax rolls show that he had realized his dream of regained wealth. In 1677 he belonged to the Dutch Church at Flatlands, where he is buried. He is on tax roles there between 1676 and 1683. On 27 May 1685, with his son Albert, he obtained a patent for 5000 acres on the Passaic River. Huene is reputed to be just a small crossroads in Lower (and traditionally protestant) Gelderland, not far from Amersfoort (which is in the province of Utrecht). A few years ago a reader of/contributor to "The Terhune Letter" (published and mailed quarterly by Jim Terhune of Batesville, AR) claimed to have driven through Huene in 1972. He was not much impressed by it. Gelderland is about the largest (in area) of the eleven provinces of Nederland and is located in the east of that country along the border with Germany. The capital city of Gelderland is Arnhem. Although the province of Gelderland lies mostly inland, it borders the Zuider Zee and access to both the port of Amsterdam and the more northern port of Texel (where research indicates Albert Albertse Ter Huin embarked for America on the "Key of Kalmar" in December 1637) was and is easy. or at Acquackanok Tract, Passaic Co, NJ? Albert sailed on the Swedish vessel Kalmar Slentel [or Kalmar Nyckel?], landing at the Swedish settlement on Delaware River in Apr1638. Albert and Geertje rente d a farm on the Nyack tract in New Utrecht, Long Island. He built a crude home and dug-out cellar, covered by a heavy thatch of straw. He was arrested and fined 50 Guilders for refusing to destroy his home under orders of the Director General of New Amsterdam during an Indian uprising. He was found guilty of "non-conformity," refused to pay the fine, and went to prison.

HISTORY OF THE TERHUNE FAMILY

HISTORY OF THE TERHUNE FAMILY In the Seventeenth Century it is reported a John Terhune and his wifewith two children left Paris, France and went to Holland. They aresaid to have fled from persecution. Their only baggage was onevalise. Albert Albertsen (or as then written Albertse. This form Albertsewould indicate the name of his father was also Albert.) immigrantHuguenot ancestor of the Terhunes of New Amsterdam, Flatlands LongIsland, and later Bergen County, East New Jersey. He came from Hunen(Huynen) in Holland. The place named Hunen was probably thefoundation for the name Terhune. The first record we have of the immigrant is in New Amsterdam, onFebruary 16, 1654, when Wolfret Webber brought a suit against AlbertAlbertse in the burgomasters and schepens court for services of hisson, hired by Albertse. He was recorded as a "lientwever" (ribbonweaver), when he first came to New Amsterdam, and attempted to carryon his trade in the Dutch city. He next appears in 1657 as havingrented and cultivated a farm on the Nyack (Najack) tract in NewUtrecht, Long Island, owned by Conelius Van Werckhoven and held forthe heirs of the estate of Jaques Cortelyou. He evidently built arude home. This home after the custom of the early Dutch farmers,consisted of a dugout cellar covered by a heavy thatch of rye straw. Anearby spring was the source of fresh water. From such a house thatthe Director General and Council of New Amsterdam forced the farmersto leave, after they had either destroyed or unroofed them. He movedhis family for safety from the Indians, into the village of NewUtrecht, where all isolated settlers were gathered for mutualprotection. This "Garrison Village", as they were called in New England was builtin 1660, but not until great opposition on the part of the disturbedfarmers, had been overcome by force of law. It is recorded of AlbertAlbertse that he was fined fifty guilders by the Director General andCouncil o f New Amsterdam for non- conformity with the orders of thegovernment. When he refused to pay he was imprisoned until he agreedto join in the erection of the village of New Utrecht. He became theowner of one of the first twelve houses built in the village, whichshows that he was not only a tardy or rebellious settler. The sameyear he became a land owner by purchasing fifty acres of land fromJacob Van Couwenhoven in the village of Flatlands. He was obliged toappear before the burgomasters and schepens court in New Amsterdam inorder to force Couwenhoven to give him a deed as provided in theagreement to purchase. The records of this court shows that AlbertAlbertse was a party in several suits in 1660-1-2, and we note oneagainst Wessel Garizen for a gun, sword and heavy belt, loaned toGerrizan at Christmas. On July 16, 1660 he obtained a deed for a piece of land in Flatlandsfrom Jacob Stendman, the deed being recorded in Dutch on page 214, of"Calendar of New York Historical Manuscript". He sold the lease of heNew Utrecht farm to Nathaniel Britton on April 3, 1664. In 1665purchased more of the Couwenhoven tract also a tract from ElbertElbertse Stoothoff, and on this land he erected a dwelling house. In1675 his property in Flatlands was assessed for L58 sterling. Hisname, with that of his wife Geertje, appears on the records of theDutch Reformed Church of Flatlands as members. About this time hejoined with Jaques Cortelyou and other residents of Flatlands,including the Gerretsons, Van Winkles and Speirs in the purchase ofthe Acquackanonck patent of five thousand acres of land on the PassaicRiver in Bergen County, East New Jersey. This purchase was thebeginning of the settlement that resulted in the town of Hackensack.The proprietors of the Acquackanonck patent received a confirmatorypatent from the governor general and council of East New Jersey in1685.
