'Dutch fur traders plied the Hudson River one year after Hendrick [Henry] Hudson broached it in the "Half Moon" in 1609 to the shallows and bartered with the natives. Although Dutch sailing vessels returned to Holland in 1610 with a rich cargo of furs traded from the Indians in their newly discovered possessions, colonization was not immediately attempted. About 1613, a trading post with a fort, so called, and a few huts were established on the southerly end of Manhattan Island, and a similar post on Castle Island near Albany a little later. The Dutch West India Company of 1621 was purely commercial until 1629, when it inaugurated the feudalistic system of "Patroons" to establish colonies in "New Netherlands" to be of fifty persons to a tract sixteen miles long on a navigable stream. However, individuals could not gain title to the land until their contracts of service had been fulfilled.

Most of the families who came to Kinderhook [located just south of Albany] were freemen and would have none of the Patroon System. Thus, for more than 20 years the area was the head of free navigation on the Hudson and the territory nearest to Fort Orange [Albany] without domination of the Patroons. About 1638, New Netherlands was thrown open to free immigration and unrestricted trade. The Kinderhook District drew settlers of independent spirit and some means directly from Holland, and New Amsterdam, as well as freed colonists of the Patroons who were industrious and provident.

The Holland settlers loved the riverside and the banks of the Kinderhook and Claverack Creeks as building sites. The flowing waters were a sweet reminder of the Fatherland. By 1656, Kinderhook was one of the principal settlements on the river.'

Dear Otto:

I have found a lovely tidbit about your ancestor, Hendrick Conradsz Burchardt. On page 47 of volume 3 of the "Early Records of Albany" (the volume of notarial papers), there is a contract made by Arent van Curler, Willem Bout, and Reyer Cornelissen Soestbergen for the lease of a horse mill. One of the witnesses to this contract was your Hendrick, using a patronym and a toponym. He made his mark thus -- "H K V B". The notary -- D.V. Schelluyne -- wrote his name "Hendrick Coenraetsz van Bon". I believe that "Hendrick" himself would have written "Heinrich Konrad van Bonn". The year was 1660.

The immigrant Jan Frans Van Hoesen also was said to have been "van Hussem". He must have come from Husum in what was then Denmark but is now in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

It appears that Hendrick and Marya had at least 3 children:

Conrad Hendricks Burchardt m. Geesje Hendricks Van Wie/Verwey
Jan Hendricks Burchardt m. Katherine Hendrick Van Wie/Verwey
Isaac Hendrick Burchardt m. Judith Jans Hoes

I wonder if Judith was the daughter of Jan Tyszen Hoes' first wife--Breechje Maryns -- or of his second wife -- Styntje Jans Van Hoesen.

The name of your ancestor appears on page 406 in Evjen's book, 'Scandinavian Immigrants in New York
1630-1674'..... "Hendrick Coenratse, from Bonn, was in New Netherland in 1660." He was amongst few
emigrants from Bonn.

Ellis, Franklin. 'Columbia County [NY] at the End of the Century,' Vol. I., Town of Kinderhook, p. 437, 1878

Emigrants of Holland and Sweden came to this immediate locality not much if any later than 1650. They brought with them money, building materials, cattle, and simple farming implements, with which the were soon able to make for themselves good homes upon fertile Kinderhook soil. The first names of
Freeholders that can definitely located here shows in 1687 the names Jan Hendrik DeBruyn, Peter Schuyler, Gerrit Teunissen, Laurence Van Alen, Isaac Vosburg, Andries Gardner, Hendrick Coonrad, Adam Dingman, Lambert Jansen, Frans Pieterson, Peter Volksburg Albert Gardenier, Jan Jacobson, — Gardenier.

[NOTE: Following Dutch naming customs, the name of the father of Hendrick Coonrad [BURCHARDT] would have been Coonrad BURCHARDT.]

Marilyn:

THANKS for your e-mail!

I am very much interested in the 'Hendrick Coonrad' mentioned in the book. He was probably my BURGHARDT ancestor who m. Marya Janse VAN HOESEN in the Claverack/Kinderhook, NY area.

Do you have a copy of the book? If so, is he mentioned further?

SOURCE: 1720 List of Freeholders of the City and County of Albany

The names of Coonrodt Burgaret and his brother, John Burgaret, of Kenderhook were included in this list.
Also listed in the 3rd Ward of Albany were: Cornelis Borghaert, Isaac Borghaert, Jacob Borgheart, and Jacob Borghaert Junr. The consistent spelling of the surname leads me to speculate that Cornelis and Isaac could have been brothers [or relatives] of Coonrodt and John. If so, all would have been sons of Hendrick Coenraetse BURGHARDT and Marya Janse VAN HOESEN.

SOURCE: Baptismal Records of the Zion Lutheran Church, Loonenburg [now Athens], Greene Co., NY

Johan Peter Borchard and his wife, Amalia [Mallie] baptized the several children included in the attachment at the Zion Lutheran Church of Loonenburg [now Athens], Greene Co., NY, .

Note that the the various spellings of the surname are similar to those variations previously associated with our Burghardt family and its many branches.

When those surnames and dates of baptism are considered, I believe that there is a good possibility that Johan Peter Borchard could have been another son [or at least a relative] of Hendricd Coenraatse Burghardt and Marya Janse Van Hoesen.

Another factor is that the Zion Lutheran Church is located just across the Hudson River to the west from Hudson [Claverack Landing] not far from Kinderhook.
