Life Sketch

The earliest known record of Hendrick Jans is Amsterdam, Netherlands Notarial Records dated 10 March 1651: "Hendrick Jans from Schalkwijk in the Province of Utrect but presently being within this city declares to have hired out himself to Jan Janz Damen, freeman in New Netherland also presently here, to serve him as house or farm hand for three consecutive years starting when they have arrived in New Netherland and have set foot ashore. His wages will 100 guilders for the first and second year and 120 guilders the third year." [New Netherland Connections Vol 5/1] Family researcher Ad Ooststroom in the Netherlands explains the origin of the name: "Oost meanst East and there also was a Westerheem (the family name Westrum also exists). Oosterheem and Westerheem were located on either side of the castle of the Dukes of 't Goy and it was because of that, that in the 14th/15 century the village name Oosterheem changed to 't Goy which still exists [2014]. The castle is long gone, but its location is clearly visible. Also the location of the Oostrummer hofstad [homestead] is well known. Map at <http://goo.gl/maps/s/FM7L. It's thought that while "van Schalkwijk was an accurate geographic identifier, the name Oosterum (and never "van Oosteroom) was taken for its aristocratic associations, although there is no evidence Hendrick Janse Oosteroom had any blue-blood origins. [Jim Harder. Dutch-Colonies Digest, Vol 9, #139. dutch-colonies@rootsweb.com On Dec 5, 1654 Hendrick Jans Van Schalckwyck [his patronymic, later to be Hendrick Jansen Ostrom] received 25 mogens of land, back of the Kill van Kull, later the site of Bergen New Jersey. There were difficulties with the Indians. The Ostrom family were living there at the time of Tryntie Ostrom [variously spelled] & Arien Pieterse Buys marriage on September 30 1672. In 1687 already an old man, Hendrick Ostrom and a relative by marriage, Baltus Van Kleeck, took a 10 year lease to property on the present site of Poughkeepsie, New York. This was hitherto a completely unsettled area, and by the terms of the lease, Hendrick & Baltus were expected to recruit other settlers to help them break ground. A mortgage of 1691 enumerates several of these people, but at the conclusion of the lease in 1697 only Baltus van Kleeck took permanent title. It is surmised that Hendrick Ostrum may have died. Jan Ostrum is listed among the settlers of 1691. Jan was Hendricks only son, and in 1707 took permanent title to property on which he had been living since 1702. Ante-Nuptial agreement dated June 11 1666. Hendricke Jansen Oosteroem, widower of Tryntien Lubbers, deceased and now betrothed to Gretien Jacobsen. Tryntien Lubbersen left 3 children: Tryntient Hendrickx, Jan Hendrickx, Jannitien Hendricks. Guardians; Jan Aersen Vanderbylt & Gerrit Lubbersen [Flatbush Town Records, Liber D, p 68]

GEDCOM Note

Heinrick was among those who received pa

Heinrick was among those who received patents for land on Bergen Neck, New Jersey, on 5 December 1654. That he was already living in New Jersey is shown by the fact that his eldest daughter was born in New Jersey, according to her marriage record. He was apparently living in New Jersey when the Indians forced all white persons living west of the Hudson to retreat to New Amsterdam, where his second child was born in 1657. His third was born in New Amersfoort on Long Island. When Hendrick and his family returned to New Jersey has not been ascertained. He obtained land in the village of Bergen and at Hoboken. He remarried on 23 May 1666 to Grietje Jacobs, a widow. (From The Van Blarcom Family of New Jersey, page 149.) In 1687, along in years, he took a 10-year lease to property at the present site of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., N.Y. at a time when this area was completely unsettled. He did not take a permanent lease at the end of the ten years, and may have died by then. His only son, Jan Ostrom is listed among the settlers of 1691.
