16. ADRIAEN5 HEGEMAN (HENRICK4, JACOB LAMBERTSZ.3, LAMBERT2, JACOB1)18 was born Abt. 1624 in Elberg,Gelderland,Holland19, and died Abt. April 01, 1672 in Midwout--Flatbush, Long Island, NY20. He married CATHARINA MARGITS21 March 07, 1648/49 in Village of Sloten near Amsterdam, Holland22, daughter of JOSEPH MARGITS and ANNA WAERDENBURG.

Notes for ADRIAEN HEGEMAN:
Emigrated from Holland and first of the American Hegeman/Hageman/Hagaman line. He arrived about 1652, with his wife and several children. He lived in New Amsterdam for a time then bought land on western Long Island, what is now Brookyn and Flatbush, then called Midwout (middle of the woods).
      At the time Adriaen's bann's were proclaimed on 29 JAN 1649, his parents were deceased. Source: "Ancestry of Adriaen Hageman of New Netherland"
      Smit's "Dutch in America" says that Adriaen Hegeman purchased 59 morgens of land ( a morgen is a Dutch unit of land equal to about 2 acres) in Midwout about 15 Apr 1661.
      Midwout is one of the six early villages in Brooklyn and now is called Flatbush. It was the farm area of New Amsterdam and had lush forests with game, wetlands and good fishing. The swampy areas must have reminded the Hollanders of home. Trading was done with New Ansterdam by ferry (230 years before the Brooklyn Bridge) and settlers apparently went to church (Dutch Reform) in New Amsterdam as the Hegeman baptismal records are there. Adriaen and his friend Jan Strijcker were involved in many political and legal affairs of Long Island. They functioned as the 2 schepens(judges) and Adriaen was the schout (sherrif) of the Long Island towns. The two men were close friends and were instrumental in building the first church on Long Island, the Dutch Reform Church at Midwout in 1654. The Church was rebuilt in 1698 and in 1776 its bell announced the advance of the British forces on New York. The present third church building, built in 1797,is still in the original location at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Church Lane. The stones used in its construction were the remains of the second church. source: "The Stryker Family in America" by William Norman Stryker, 1979.
            Adriaen was born in Elburg, Gelderland in 1624, the son of Hendrick Hegeman, a minister of the Dutch Church at Vorchten. His 2 brothers were ministers of the Dutch church also. He moved to Amsterdam before 1649 to join the silk trade. On March 7, 1649 at the age of 25, he was married to Catarina Margits, the daughter of a London diamond cutter. What was Joseph Margits doing in Ansterdam? I suspect the English Civil War was a bit too hot for him. The 1640's were a tumultous time in England. In fact, the King was executed on Jan. 30, 1649, 2 months before Adriaen and Catarina's wedding.
      In the scrapbook is a copy of Adriaen's signature from a legal document, taken from Stryker's Family History. The document from the Colonial Documents of New York deals with the shocking behavior of the English who were trying to take over the Long Island towns. Many of Adriaen's legal writings exist as abstracts or transcriptions in "NY Colonial Documents".
      Nettie Weaver says he is listed in the Compendium of American Genealogy, p. 529.
      WFT#6, tree 3383 has some of his descendents.
