About Evert Janzen Wendel
Immigrated 1640 from Netherlands to New Amsterdam.
EVERT JANSEN WENDELL, FATHER OF JOHANNES WENDELL
Born in 1615 in Emblen, East Friesland, he died in 1709 in Albany, New York. On July 3, 1644, he married Susanna Du Trieux in Montgomery, New Amsterdam. She was born in 1626 in New Amsterdam and died in 1660 in Ft. Orange (Albany), New York. Susanna's parents were Philippe Anton and Susanna Du Chesne Du Trieux. Quite a bit is written about Philippe Du Trieux and won't be covered here except to say that he was born in Robaix, Belgium, emigrated to Holland and then to New Amsterdam in 1624 on the ship "New Netherland". Evert Jansen Wendell is shown to have been an orphan. He was in the service of the Dutch West India Company in 1640 and a master in 1657. He came to America in 1640 and to Ft. Orange in 1651. He was buried under the old church then standing at the corner of Yonker and Handelser St. (State and Broadway) in Albany, NY.
At the New York State Archives, there is a book entitled "Famous Families of New York" by Margherita Arlina Hamm that had a lengthy bioggraphy of Evert Janse. The following is a few passages from the article.
"The founder of the (Dutch) race in the New World was Evert Janse, who was born (1615) in the little city of Embden in East Friesland, then belonging to the Netherlands, but now part of the province of Aurich, in the kingdom of Hanover, Germany. His family had lived in the district of Thynland or Delftland, from which they fled to escape the sword and rack of the Duke of Alva. In Rhineland the family owned several farms and possessed considerable property, much if not most of this being lost when they departed for the North. Nevertheless, enough remained to give Evert a good education and to enable him to cross the ocean to the New Netherlands. Among the offices that Evert held in Albany were ruling elder of the Dutch Church (1656), Orphan Master (1657) and Magistrate (1660-61).
The career of the Wendells in both Massachusetts and New York has been marked by business ability, intellectuality, social grace and patriotism. They have served in every conflict, from the old French wars to the late struggle with Spain. Their sons are upon the rolls of the great universities, and their names are found in the lists of eminent lawyers, writers, scientists and pedagogues."
