About Susanna Philippe du Trieux
Susanna Truax was born about 1620. She was the daughter of Philip and Susanna du Chesne Truax. Her family were Walloons who emigrated to New Netherland about 1624.
In July 1644, she married Evert Janse Wendell at the New Amsterdam Dutch church. The marriage produced at least eight children who established the Wendell family name in Albany and its environs.
By the early 1650s, these Wendells had settled in Beverwyck where Evert Janse served in several official capacities while earning a living in the fur trade and in real estate.
Susanna Truax Wendell died about 1662 and her husband re-married. Seven of her children were named in Evert Janse's pre-nuptual agreement signed in 1663. Susanna was the matriarch of the Wendell family in Albany.
The "Du Trieux" family, Susanna Du Trieux being the wife of Evert Jansen Wendell. It's said that Philippe Du Trieux was born in Robaix, Belgium. Correct is that Roubaix is a french town, not far from the Belgian border, but in France. The name Du Trieux is also a typical french name, it's also interesting to know that he emigrated to Holland: the reason is probably that he was a "Huguenot" (they accepted not the French king because of their religion) and were driven out in that period to Germany and Holland where they settled. Except for religion reasons, I see no reason why they should have left their country for a completely other one, with even an other language: Dutch instead of French.
