Biography

Birth

Isaac du Bois, son of Louis du Bois and his wife Catherine Blanchon, was born 14 May 1660. He was baptized a week later, on 20 May 1660, at the French Reformed Church in Mannheim in what is now Germany. ^[1]

Immigration

Isaac was an infant when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean to New Netherland (now New York) with his parents and older brother. The family was in Wiltwyck (now Kingston) by 9 October 1661, when another son, Jacob, was baptized there. ^{[2] [3]}

New Paltz, Ulster County, New York

Isaac DuBois was the youngest of the twelve Patentees when New Paltz was founded in 1678. ^[4]

Marriage

The marriage of Isaac DuBois and Marie Hasbrouck was recorded in an early entry in the parish register of the Reformed Dutch Church in New Paltz, Ulster County, New York. No date was given, but the marriage likely took place prior to the next entry in the register, which was dated 14 October 1683. Translated from the French, the entry reads:

Isaac Dubois, son of Louys du Bois and of Caterien Blancon, was married by the minister after having been announced three Sundays previously, to Marie Hasbrouck, daughter of Jan Hasbrouck and Anne doieie [i.e., Deyo]. ^[5]

Isaac and Marie's marriage was also recorded in the church register of the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, Ulster County under the date June 1683.

Isaac du Boys, j. m. [unmarried man], born in Manheyn, in the Paltz [Palatinate], and resid. in N. Palts [New Paltz], and Maria Haasbrouck, j. d. [unmarried woman], born in Moudestad [Mutterstadt, 6 miles southwest of Mannheim], in the "Paltz in Duytslants" [German Palatinate], and resid. "as above." Banns published, but dates not given. ^[6]

Children

The baptisms of three children of Isaac and Marie were recorded in the parish register at New Paltz: ^[7]

1. Daniel Dubois, bapt. 28 April 1684; godparents: Lous Dubois and Caterien Blancon.
2. Benjamin Duboy, bapt. 16 April 1687; godparents: Abraham Duboy and Anne Doyo.
3. Phillipe Dubois, bapt. 14 May 1690; godparents: Jean Hasbrouq and Ester Hasbrouuq.

Death

Isaac Dubois died 28 June 1690 at his home in New Paltz, Ulster County. ^[8] He was 30 years old.

Burial

A gravestone in the Huguenot Cemetery (also known as the Walloon Cemetery) in New Paltz reads: "Patentee, Isaac Du Bois 1659-1690, Maria Hasbrouck 1664-1719." The gravestone appears to be relatively recent, and is probably not original. ^[9]
