Eva Albertse Swartwout

Eva/Aefja Albertsz Bradt was baptized on January 9, 1633 at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and she came to New Netherlands with her parents at the age of 3. On October 1, 1647, when she was only 14, she married Anthony de Hooges in Renssalaerwyck (which became Rensselaer County, where Raymond Clum grew up). Unusual, but not impossible. Maybe Eva married young because she wanted to get away from her father, who, it seems, wasn't the pleasantest of men. I think her childhood was not a happy one with that father. See under Albert Bradt.

Eva had five children while living in what is now Albany, and after Anthony died only eight years into their marriage (she was 22), she mortgaged her home to set up a trust fund for her children. She married Roelof Swartwout two years later. His uncle was a tobacco dealer in Amsterdam, and as Eva's father was first a tobacco farmer in the Netherlands, and then in the New Netherland colony grew tobacco to export to Amsterdam, it is entirely possible that their parents' families had known each other even before Eva and Roelof came along.

Eva and Roelof went to Wiltwyck (later Kingston, NY, down along the Hudson) to live, where her husband was the first sheriff of of the town. This is the town where Annetje and Jacob Van Etten lived. It seems likely that Raymond Clum's ancestor, Johannes, who was Eva's son by her first husband, went with them, as he was still a child. Eva bore Roelof eight children. They had a house in the village and farmed two lots of land outside it. Fortunately no one in the family was killed or taken captive when the town was destroyed in the Esopus Wars in the 1660's. [See Jacob and Annetje Van Etten for the story on that.]

As Eva Swartwout, on December 26, 1660, she partook of the first communion offered at Kingston in what is now the Old Dutch Church. Her name is the on a commemorative plaque in the church.

Eva died in 1689 in Kingston, NY, leaving her second husband a widower, and he married again. Then he died, leaving his second wife a widow and she remarried. What a chain of marriages!

A famous shirttail relation: The actor, Henry Fonda, is descended from Eva and Anthony's daughter, Maria!

In 1656, Eva Bradt de Hooges was residing on the northwest corner of Bever and Handelaars (Broadway) streets, south of the blockhouse church. After asking for her hand in marriage and publishing their banns, Roeloff married Eva on August 13, 1657.

GEDCOM Note

First of all "Swartwout" is one of her married names, not a maiden name. Dutch spelling of the name indicating son/daughter of first name of father was all over the place, from Albertse to Albertssen to Albertzen and on. Went with the shortest version, since there are numerous versions used in the records. Also the family seems to have used a more conventional (read English) form of a last name in "Bradt or Bratt". "Eva" was undoubtedly an English translation of all the various spellings of her Dutch first name, which, given the variety of those spellings, it might be simpler to stick with "Eva". It is also the name used in U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s (See Sources section). One must remember at those dates spelling, both Dutch and English, was more of an art form than a science. And lastly, if making a change, give your reasons/sources for the change by starting a new paragraph and adding them. Alternate names can be added in the Other Information section. [0Ldcrone]

Anthony had been sent to Rensselaerwyck as the assistant to Arent van Curler and later became the Secretary of the Colony. Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, the patron, seems to have had a great deal of concern and respect for Anthony. Anthony married Eva Albertsz Bradt. Eva was baptized 9 January 1633 in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands. She was the daughter of Albert Adriessen Bradt and Annetje Barents Van Rottmer. She arrived at New Amsterdam with her family in 1637 on the "Rensselaerwyck". Eva had five younger brothers, Barent, Storm (Vanderzee), Adries, Jan, Dirk, and two younger sisters, Engeltje and Gisseltje. Anthony is believed to have died on or about 11 October 1655. Eva married second Roeloff Swartwout 13 August 1657 in Albany, Albany, New York. Roeloff became the Sheriff of the Esopus in 1660. Eva must have died before 22 Nov 1691 because Roeloff is found remarrying in Bergen, New Jersey then.

Anthony and Eva had [2]:

1. Maria (Maricken) de Hooges, believed to have married 1) Hendrick Bries and 2) Jacob Lookermans 21Aug 1696 in Albany, New York. 2. Anna (Anneken) de Hooges, married Warnaar Hornbeck. [3] 3. Catrina de Hooges, married Harmen Rutgers. [4] 4. Johannes de Hooges, married Margarita Post 4 December 1675 in Kingston, Ulster, New York. 5.

Roeloff and Eva had:

6. Thomas Swartwout, no baptismal record [6], married Lysbeth Gardenier. 7. Antoni Swartwout, baptized 8 Jan 1662 at Kingston, Ulster, New York, probably died young. 8.

THE NORWEGIAN BRADT FAMILY in New Netherland New York © Lorine McGinnis Schulze

http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/nn/surnames/bradt.shtml Albert Andriessen De Noorman aka Bradt and his First Wife, Annetie Barents (Van) Rottmers

Albert Andriessen, or Albert Andriessen Bradt [Bratt] was one of the earliest Norwegian settlers in New Netherland. He came from Fredrikstad, a town at the mouth of the Glommen, the largest river in Norway. In the early records he is often called Albert de Noorman (the Norwegian). After 1670 he became known as Albert Andriesz Bradt. Whether he was related to the Bratts of Norwegian nobility, can not be ascertained. The Bratt family lived in Bergen, Norway, before the early part of the fifteenth century, when it moved to the northern part of Gudbrandsdalen. It had a coat of arms until about the middle of the sixteenth century. Since that time the Bratts belong to the Norwegian peasantry. They have a number of large farms in Gudbrandsdalen, Hedemarken, Toten, and Land.' In the state of New York there are many families of the name of Bradt, descendants of the pioneer from Fredrikstad.

The name of Albert Andriessen occurs for the first time in a document bearing the date August 26, 1636, an agreement between him and two others on the one hand, and the patroon of the colony of Rensselaerswyck, Kiliaen van Rensselaer, on the other. The agreement was made and signed in Amsterdam. It states that Andriessen was a tobacco planter. He may have learnt the cultivating of tobacco in Holland, where tobacco was raised as early as 1616.

"

In the name of the Lord, Amen. On conditions hereafter specified, we, Pieter Cornelissen van munnickendam, millwright, 43 years of age, Claesz jans van naerden, 33 years of age, house carpenter, and albert andriessen van fredrickstadt, 29 years of age, tobacco planter, have agreed among ourselves, first, to sail in God's name to New Netherland in the small vessel which now lies ready and to betake ourselves to the colony of Rensselaerswyck for the purpose of settling there on the following conditions made with Mr. Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, as patroon of the said colony, etc.

"Thus done and passed, in good faith, under pledge of our persons and property subject to all courts and justices for the fulfillment of what is aforewritten, at Amsterdam, this 26th of August [1636].

'In witness whereof we have signed these with our own hands in the presence of the undersigned notary public . . "Kiliaen Van Rensselaer "Pieter Cornelissen "albert and riessen . . -. "Claes jansen. "J. Vande Ven, Notary."

As Andriessen was twenty-nine years of age when he made the agreement with Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, he must have been born about 1607. Pursuant to the stipulation in the agreement, he sailed, accompanied by his wife, Annetje Barents of "Rolmers," and as it would seem by two children, October 8, 1636, on the "Rensselaerswyck," which arrived at New Amsterdam March 4, 1637.

On this voyage, which was very stormy, his wife gave birth to a son, who received the name of Storm and who in later records is frequently called Storm from the Sea. The log of the ship ("Rinselaers Wijck") contains under the date of November 1 and 2 [1636J, the following interesting entries which are given in facsimile in the "Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts," 360 f.:

The translation is as follows:

November

Saturday 1. In the morning we veered toward the west and drifted north. The Wind S. W with rough weather and high seas. The past half day and entire night.

Sunday: 2. Drifted 16 leagues N. E. by E.; the wind about west, the latitude by dead reckoning 41 degrees, 50 minutes with very high seas. That day the overhang above our rudder was knocked in by severe storm. This day a child was born on the ship, and named and baptized in England Stoerm; the mother is Asnetie Baernts. This day gone.

Inasmuch as there were eight children born to Andriessen and his wife, Storm being the third, two of their children, Barent and Eva, were likely with their parents on this voyage. Five of their children were born in the new world: Engeltje, Gisseltje, Andries, Jan and Dirck

Andriessen and his partners were to operate a mill. But not long after his arrival he took the liberty of dissolving partnership and established himself as a tobacco planter. Van Renssselaer had sent greetings to him in a letter dated September 21, 1637, (addressed to the partner of Andriessen, Pieter Cornelisz, master millwright) but in a subsequent letter, of May 8, 1638, to Cornelisz he wrote: "Albert Andriessen separated from you, I hear that he is a strange character, and it is therefore no wonder that he could not get along with you."6 Nevertheless, Van Rensselaer entertained the hope that Albert Andriessen would succeed as a tobacco planter. On December 29, 1637, he wrote to Director William Kieft that he should assign some of the young men on board the "Calmar Sleutel", commanded by Pieter Minuit and sailing in the same month, to tobacco planting with Aiidriessen "if he has good success," otherwise they were to serve with the farmers.

These young men were inexperienced, it seems. One, Elbert Elbertz, from Nieukerck, eighteen years old, was a weaver; Claes Jansen, from the same place, seventeen years old, was a tailor; Gerrit Hendricksz, also from the same place, fifteen year old, was a shoemaker. Gerrit must have served Andriessen for a term of at least three years; for his first three years' wages, from April 2, 1638 to April 2, 1641, are charged to Andriessen.

In a letter of May 10, 1638, Van Rensselaer advised Andriessen that he had duly received his letter stating that the tobacco looked fine. But he was desirous to get full particulars as to how the crop had turned out, and to get a sample of the tobacco. He expressed dissatisfaction at Andriessen having separated from Pieter Cornelisz, and liked to know the cause of his dispute with the officer and commis Jacob Albertsz Planck and his son. He informed Andriessen that he was obliged to uphold his officers. and promised him to stand by him and cause him to be "provided with everything." But he would not suffer bad behavior. He also informed him that it was apparent from the news he had received from several people that he was "very unmerciful to his children and very cruel" to his wife; he was to avoid this "and in all things have the fear of the Lord" before his eyes and not follow so much his own inclinations. But there was also another matter for which Van Rensselaer censured him: he had traded beaver furs with Dirck Corszen Stam contrary to contract, defrauded and cheated him. For seven pieces of duffel he had given him only the value of twenty-five merchantable beavers.

Van Rensselaer also addressed a letter, of the same date, to Jacob Albertsz Planck informing him that he had written to Andriessen that he should have more respect for the officers. Planck was instructed to notify Andriessen and all others living in the colony not to engage in "such detrimental fur trade," for he did not care to suffer in his colony those who had their eyes mainly on the fur trade.'

Notwithstanding, it was Dirck Corszen that was an unfaithful supercargo. And Van Rensselaer requested, in a letter of May 13, 1639, of Andriessen, that he should write him the truth of the matter and pay him what he still owed Corszen. If he saw that Andriessen acted honestly herein, he would do all in his power to help him. Andriessen should go to the superintendent of the colony, Arent van Curler, and purchase necessaries for himself and his own people at an advance in price of 50 per cent. He should get merchandise for the Indian trade at an advance of 75 per cent. In return he was to furnish Van Curler with skins at such a price that he could make something on the transaction.

Van Rensselaer also informed Andriessen that he would try to sell his tobacco at the highest price and furthermore give him 25 per cent more than his half of the net proceeds would amount to. He would moreover grant him 25 per cent discount on the grain which he bought. In fact, Van Rensselaer's confidence in Andriessen seemed to be increasing. For he not only acknowledged that he had received several letters from him, but also wished to say to his credit that he had received returns from no one. but him. He complained, however, of the tobacco which had been sent to him in barrels. It was a great loss to both that the "tobacco was so poor and thin of leaf that it could not stand being rolled." This. he thought, was likely due to Andriessen having left too many leaves on the plants. But not this alone: the weight was short. One barrel, put down at 292 lbs., weighed but 220 lbs. This was perhaps due to deception on the part of a certain Herman, a furrier. But anything like this should be avoided in the future. The tobacco amounted to 1,156 pounds net, which was sold for 8 st. (16 cents) a pound. Had it not been so bad and wretched, it could have been sold for twenty cents a pound. A higher price could be obtained if Andriessen would be more careful in the future and leave fewer leaves on the plants. He should try to grow "good stuff", for the tobacco from St. Christopher, an island in the West Indies, was so plentiful in Netherland that it brought but 3 stivers a pound. Andriessen should also each year make out a complete account of all expenses and receipts from tobacco, so Van Rensselaer could see whether any progress was made.

But Andriessen was a poor accountant. Neither Van Rensselaer nor his nephew, the former Director Van Twiller, could understand his accounts.1' Van Rensselaer therefore gave him directions to follow in making his entries and statements, claimingthat any other procedure would "leave everything confused and mixed up." He complained tha

From Ostrander, A Genealogical Record p

From Ostrander, A Genealogical Record p 116 In October 1647 in Albany, Anthony de Hooges married Eva Albertse Bratt, the daughter of an immigrant from Norway, Albert Andriessen Bratt. Anthony and Eva lived in a new house in Beverwyck that had been built to replace Anthony's first residence, a stone house that was turned into a church. On or about 11 Oct 1655 Anthony died, leaving Eva a widow with five children, the oldest nine years old. On 16 Aug 1657, Eva took as her second husband Roelof Swartwout, a resident of Esopus. On a business trip to Amsterdam, Roelof Swartwout was appointed Sheriff of Esopus, the community's first, and the next day, 16 Apr 1660, he boarded ship to return to America. The ship was De Bonte Koe.
