Denys Isaacszen Van Hartenvelt

(see attached discussion) came to New Amsterdam in 1659. Married there. Had children, one of whom seems to have married Pieter Meyer. At marriage his name is listed variously as Denys Isaacszen van Hartenvelt. There are versions of <Isaacs> including Dionys Isaacqs.

I.N. Phelps Stokes' ICONOGRAPHY has a reference to 'Hartogvelt. Denys, and Jan De Wit contract to build windmill. 1662 O 16 '
also: "No. 15 Broadway. The house of Barent Cruytdop; built prior to June 15, 1660, when Denys Isaackzen, the carpenter, was compelled to sue for wages incurred in building it. Cruytdop claimed: "all is not yet finished."-Rec. N. Am., III: 177.

BROUWER STRAAT. 115
Claes Tysen, cooper.
Denys Isaacsen.
William Abrahams.
Bay Croosvelt (sometimes called Crossfield) was a hatter,
living on the east side of the street, near Exchange place.
William Deturnier.
The Brouwer straat was the name given to that part of
the present Stone street, between Broad and Whitehall
streets. It was among the earliest streets built upon, and
was the line of the first road laid out along the East river,
the ancient grants commonly terming it " the road," while
its neighboring thoroughfares were described with reference to their situation, as "east of the fort," "south of the
fort," &c. The name of "Brouwer straat," or Brewer's
street, was given to it from the circumstance of two or
three breweries having been erected upon it. It was the
first street in this city paved with stone, the ordinance for
which passed in 1657. It afterward came to be called
Stone street, probably from this circumstance. see: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/moa/AFK3932.0001.001?rgn=main;view=ful...

• one wonders if the of Hart-en-velt used refers to Aerdt (where the Oude Rijn used to split centuries ago)? Before the Rhine riverbed was altered, Aerdt must have been of particular significance in the world of trade, long before this era.
• Denys seems to disappear from records after the births of his three children. His wife Lysbeth does not. She seems to show up in baptisms of grandchildren (DRC ~• Billard lists)
• It is interesting that Olaf Stevense van Cortland(t) witnesses a DRC baptism for Denys... They are both from Wijk bij Duurstede...

• search for "DENYS" at I.N. Phelps-Stokes for two references.
