Would Captain John Underhill's first wife, Heyliken de Hooch, be considered a New Netherland settler?

Question

Seems I entered or adopted Heyliken (Helena) de Hooch's profile 4 years ago. I am hoping to help her (as well as John Underhill) find their biographies and projects. Thanks all!

Yes, for sure, she died in New Netherland before 1674, according to the data. I added the templates on the lineage, and organized. I turned the grandmother profile over to Bea, so that Dutch Roots can work on it.

I looked pretty thoroughly, but could not find any matches with different spelling. It seems to be one of those 2010 DeCoursey GEDCOM import strays that had not yet found a home in the project.

Thanks, Steven! There may be more info on her connected to Captain Underhill. I'll be looking.

Thanks Steven , I just received some info for Heylken de Hoogh, and already was looking for her ( we couldn't find her profile , because of the different names I guess and now I also understand why he send me the info :)

We will try if we can find some sources for them of course

Jan Jansz Underberch (Adelborst) and Heijlken Willems de Hooch (attestatie afgegeven na Den Hage)

Nice find Bea!

I read the name as Onderberch, funny it's a literal translation of Underhill.

The bulletin says:

Under date December 12, 1628, the marriage records of the Kloosterkerk at The Hague—the same church in which Leonora had remarried a fortnight before—register the marriage of John, son of John Underhill (“Jan Jansz Onderberch"), cadet (“Adelborst") in the Guard of His Excellency the Prince of Orange (Count Frederic Henry of Nassau), with Heylken, daughter
of William de Hooch, of Gorinchem, both dwelling in The Hague.
