Hendrick Joachemsen Schoonmaker of New Amsterdam
Hendrick, son of Joachem, was born born 11/29/1624 in Hamburg (Die Grosse Hansea Stadt), Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. Hendrick's parents are believed to have been Dutch merchants, living in the largest city of the Hanseatic League. But, was Hendrick Dutch, German, or even Danish. Reportedly, Hendrick's parents were married in Breestede, Duchy of Schleswig, a then Danish territory. Cursory examination of the spelling of names in the Schoonmaker Family leads to appreciation of possible Danish origin.
Sometime before 1653, Hendrick immigrated to New Amsterdam. As the son of merchants, it would have been possible for Hendrick to have booked passage to the New World without having migrated to Holland. There is evidence that Hendrick was recruited for service in the New World as a soldier.
In 1653 at Fort Orange (Albany Dist.) NY, Hendrick married Elsje Janse Van Breestede b. c. 1623 Breestede, Duchy of Holstein. Hendrick and Elsje settled at Wiltwyck (now Kingston, Ulster Co) NY where Hendrick was a member of the Burgher Guard. Hendrick is mentioned in the records of Wiltwyck as fighting in a battle with Indians at the Wiltwyck Stockade on 7/7/1663.
After completion of his term of service, Hendrick was both an innkeeper and a farmer. Hendrick wrote his will on 3/4/1682 and died shortly thereafter in Kingston, Ulster Co NY.
