SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM (cont.)
Our lineage is through Hendrick Janse's third child Gerrit and Maria Sanders. Their first child Hendrick was born Dec. 15, 1690 and married a Debora (no last name given, see Appendix c. Bible of Gerrit Roseboom).This is not to be confused with the Hendrick of the first generation who married a Debora Staats. Our Hendrick and Debora (?) seem to disappear from the Albany area although there are records of many other Rosebooms in that area up to the present.

At this point the trail becomes thin. The History of Hunterdon and Somerset Counties quotes an earlier Dr. Messler that "between 1681 to 1699 there had arrived from Long Island the following heads of families, mostly of Dutch extraction: ....... At North and South Branch.....Hendrick Roesenboom, .... (p. 561)". This is part of a long list of about 150 names. The source of the 1699 date is not clear.

Hendrick married Deborah Staats in 1721 in Albany, Albany, New York, USA. Deborah (daughter of Joachim Staats and Ryckie Ulrica Van Dyck) was born on 1 Oct 1696 in Greenbush, Rensselaer, New York, USA; died on 2 Oct 1749 in Albany, Albany, New York, USA; was buried in Menands, Albany, New York, USA.

SUMMARY OF DATA ON ROSEBOOM ANCESTORS OF EUGENE H. ROSEBOOM

The best source of information on the first Roseboom family in North America is: A Brief History of the Ancestors and Descendants of John Roseboom (1739-1805) and Jesse Johnson (1745-1832) compiled by Catherine Roseboom, Dr. J. Livingston Roseboom, Rev. Harry U. Swinnerton and Joseph H. White, Cherry Valley, New York. This covers the period from 1630 to 1897, apparently the date of publication. I have a copy.

The above is vague about the arrival of the first Roseboom, Hendrick Janse Roseboom, "He appears to have come from Holland about 1655". The Ship Passenger Lists, New York and New Jersey (1600-1825) edited and complied by Carl Boyer, 3rd and published by him - Newhall, California 1978 clarifies this on p.82. Hendrick Jansz Rooseboom, a tailor's apprentice, arrived at Fort Orange, now Albany in 1657. He had been hired on 8 April, 1657 by Jan Hendrick van Baelen, a tailor along with two others later the same year.

Collections on the History of Albany. p. 158
Roseboom, Hendrick Janse, trader, was the Voorlezer and sexton of the church; in 1674, he brought a suit to recover his fees from a man who had employed the grave-digger of the Lutheran church, styled an interloper; judgment for the plaintiff 18 guilders. His house and lot originally Pieter Bronck's was on the east side of North Pearl street, 162 Rynlandft. north of Maiden Lane, and in 1677, the stockades passed through it and the gate (called Roseboom's gate) and the burgher blockhouse were situated there; this was one of the best business places in the village because the Indians entered chiefly through this gate. He was for many years farmer of the slaughter excise. His first wife was Gysbertje Lansing; in his old age he married Tryntje Janse van Breestede, widow of Rutger Jacobsen; d. Nov. 4, 1703. Ch: Johannes; Gerrit (?); Henderik; Myndert(?); Margarita, w. of Pieter Thomase Mingael.

van Deusen Genealogy, p. 63
In 1700, Johannes Cuyler and Evert Bancker were deacons of the Church at Albany. The collections taken up in the church on the first Sunday in January amounted to 218 g. 14 s. John Kidnie paid 54 g. for half a year's rent of the east end of the poor house, which seems to have been vacant by the decrease in the number of the poor; the old names having all disappeared from the list. It appears that Hendrick Roseboom received 400g. from the city and county besides his salary from the church; and he was voted 50 guilders extra pay for services as voorlezer during the time the church was without a pastor before the arrival of Dom. Uncella, which seems to have been on the 16th of April, 1699. On the 15th of February, Ryseck, widow of Gerrit Swart, the last of the church poor, died, and was buried on the 17th, the onkosten of which was as follows: 3 dry boards for the coffin, 7:10; 3/4 lb. nails, 1:10; making the coffin, 249.; cartage, 103.; a half vat and an anker of good beer, 27 g.; 1 gal. rum, 21 g.; 6 gall. Madeira for women and men, 84 g.; Sugar and cruyery, 5 g.;150 sugar cakes, 15 g.; tobacco and pipes, 4:10; Hendrick Roseboom, doodgraver, 30 g.; use of the pall, 12 g.; total, 232 g. A claim of Roseboom of 12 g. for inviting to the funeral (prelendeerde voor'taenspreken buyten d' stad) was paid; but it was regarded as an extortionate charge, and the consistory ordered that the doodgraver should thereafter have from the deacons 30 guilders and no more, for like services. Mary, wife of Jacob Lookermans, was paid 6 g. for assistance (handry kingh) at the burial, and Marritje, widow of Harme Lievertse, who had long received a monthly stipend for nursing and board, was paid the same as for a full month, as was the custom, 36 g. A statement of the Ryseck Swart during four years is given, amounting to 2229 g. 10 s., and she is credited with effects, consisting of silver ware, jewelry, etc., and a lot on the plain (tuyn erffop de plyn) which were appraised by the patroon and Jacob Turck at 644 g. 10 s., which in seawant was 1585 g. On the 20th of July Dom. Johannes Lydius and Dom. Bernardus Freerman arrived (the latter the second pastor at Schenectady). On Sunday the 21st they both assisted in the services (elck eens gepredikt), and on the following Sunday Dom. Lydius preached his introductory sermon. New improvements were made on the domine's house, and a new turned bedstead was purchased for Dom. Lydius at 40 g. A payment of 160 g. was made by Nanningh and Frederick Harmense towards their saw mill on the Bevers kil. A payment of 506 g. was made upon the expenses of Dom. Lydius from Antwerp. The receipts were nearly 4000 guilders, and although there were many extraordinary expenses, there remained 853:12 in the treasury. The signatures to this year's business are those of
