[199] Immigrated to the New Amsterdam colony in the Americas.
According to Karl Quosig ([email protected]) Jan was the first
Van Hosen, of all the Van Hoosers in America as well as some
thirty variations of the surname. His middle name is sometimes
given as Fransse or Franssen - the suffix "se" or "sen" meaning
"son of".
Jan and Volkje met in Husum. Before they got married, they had
already made arrangements on 28 March 1639 with Kiliaen Van
Renselaer concerning immediate passage to and settlement in
colony of Rensselaerswyck (New Amsterdam). The colonists agreed
to remain there for four years. This document also stated that
their "ship now lies ready", but they didn't set sail until
after Jan Franssee and Volkje Juriaens were married. They came
to the U.S. with their son Juriaen.
They settled at Fort Orange and Beverwyk now Albany. NY. He was
a helper to Jan Barentse Wemp who had charge of Patrool
Killiaen Van Rensselaer's farm "ole Vlackte". He was assigned a
garden between 1st and 2nd creeks on 1 Apr 1650.
He made several puchases of land, the most important on 5 Jun
1662 being several hundred acres of Claverack land from the
Mohican Indians (Patinetepiet and Tatankenaut) including the
site of the present city of Hudson and part of Greenport. Long
litigation with Patroon Van Rensselaer confirmed the land to
him as did Governor Nicoll on 14 May 1667. The 1662 land
purchase was for 500 Dutch Guilders.
He was a commissioner for the West India Comany and an early
member of the Dutch Reformed Church at Albany and later
Lutherans.
A brass candlestick owned by this family was in the posession
of Minnie Stanton (Mrs. Frank Lewis).
[200] Where was Jan born? This is an excerpt from "Van Hoose - Van
Hooser - Van Huss Family in the United States", compiled by
Joyce Lindstrom: "The Duchy of Schleswig was created in 1115
and was a hereditary fief held from the kings of Denmark. The
Duchy of Holstein was part of the Holy Roman Empire after 1111.
King Christian I of Denmark became the Duke of the German
duchies of Schleswig (1460) and Holstein (1474) and were to
remain "forever undivided". In 1773 Denmark obtains the whole
of Schleswig in exchange for Oldenburg. After a Prussian
inspired revolt (1848-51) in Schleswig-Holstein, the First War
of Schleswig ends with the status quo. Denmark still controls
the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg. In 1864
Denmark adopts the 'November Constitution' which aims to unite
Schleswig (but not Holstein) with the Danish Kingdom. This is
abreachof the peace treaty of 1851 in which Denmark promised
not to separate the two duchies. Due to this, Prussia and
Austra declare war (Austro-Prussian War of Seven Weeks War) in
1866 and conquer Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg. As a
result of this, Schleswig-Holstein is incorporated as a
province of Prussia. In 1920 the northern part of Schleswig is
rejoined with Denmark after a referendum.
Jan was born in Husum which lies in the northern Duchy of
Shleswig. Husum is now a city in the Schleswig-Holstein area of
northern Germany. He was neither Dutch nor was he German. He
was a Schleswigan subject to Danish rule. He would have spoken
low German, probably with a Fisian or Danish dialect.
