Biography

Anthony De Hooges migrated from Amsterdam to New Netherland.

Anthony De Hooges was born in 1618. He emigrated from Amsterdam to Rensselaerwyck, New Netherland on the De Coninck David July 23, 1641. He died October 11, 1655.

"Antony de Hooges; was engaged as underbookkeeper and assistant to Arent van Curler, and sailed from the Texel by den Coninck David, July 30, 1641. He reached New Amsterdam Nov. 29, 1641, but apparently did not arrive in the colony [Rensselaerswyck] till April 10, 1642, being credited from that date till April 10, 1544, with a salary of f150 a year. From van Curler's departure for Holland, in Oct. 1644, till van Slichtenhorst's arrival on March 22, 1648, he was entrusted with the business management of the colony; from the latter date till his death, on or about Oct. 11, 1655, he held the offices of secretary and gecommitteerde. In the accounts, he is credited, from May 11, 1652, to Oct 11, 1655, with a salary of f360 a year as secretary and for the same period with a salary of f100 as gecommitteerde, also with f56, for salary as voorleeser (reader in the church) during two months and one week in 1653. In a petition for salary, March 27, 1648, he states that he has been for more than six years in the service of the patroon and for four years has not received any salary; that he has now been entrusted with a new office without any mention of salary; and that he must have a house built inasmuch as the storehouse, assigned to him for a dwelling, has been turned into a church. He married, in Oct. 1647, a daughter of Albert Andriesz, named Eva, who on Aug. 13, 1657, became the wife of Roelof Swartwout." ^[1]

Kiliaen van RENSSELAER engaged Anthony de HOOGES as underbookkeeper and assistant to Arent van CURLER, Rensselaerwyck's young secretary and bookkeeper. De HOOGES shipped out on the Wes India Company vessel, den Coninck David, van Rensselaer having made arrangements for him to sleep and take his meals in the skipper's cabin. He keep a journal of the trip, from lifting anchor on 30-Jul to arrival in Manhattan on 29-Nov. Apparently there was an early freezing over of the Hudson River and de HOOGES spent the winter in New Amsterdam with the West India Company's commissary of cargoes, Oloff Stevensen van CORTLANDT, arriving in Rensselaerswyck the following 10-Apr.

For the three years prior to his marriage, Anthony had been entrusted with the business management of the colony in van CURLER's stead. When the first director of the colony, Brant van SLICHTENHORST, arrived in Mar-1648, de hOOGES was appointed secretary and gecommitteerde at an annual salary of 460, besides which he received a free house, free beer from the brewers, stovewood from the farmers, and a fee for every summons he wrote.

de HOOGES was generally well regarded. In 1647 Petrus STUYVESANT an dhis council asked de HOOGES to serve as one of four referees to settle a dispute at Manhattan between Deacon (and Commissary) Oloff Stevensen van CORTLANDS and Domine Everardus BOGARDUS, and the Rensselaerswyck court called upon him to serve as impartial arbitrator in a suit four years later.

After his marriage, the couple at first lived in the colony's storehouse, but that was soon turned into a church, and so in Mar-1648 de HOOGES wrote that he hoped the colony would build a house for him. He found a place by the next year, and on 23-Apr-1652, had a lot patented to him south of the Fuyck (Rutten) Kill in the new village of Beverwyck, which is perhaps not where he was living in 1655, when he sold the west part of his lot to his neighbor Volckert JANSE. He also owned a garden in still another location.

Life as a public official was not without its real dangers. Willem JURIAENSZ was banished from Rensselaerswyck on three separate occasions for serious violations, once for attempting to stab de HOOGES with a knife on the public highway, sentence being passed on 28-Aug-1647. A month later, Jacob Jansz STOL, who had a long record of public brawling, "fought with Pieter HERTGERS, struck de HOOGES on the left eye with his fist, and greatly injured the thumb of Volckert JANSZ in his own house in the presence of the fiscal." Harmless, but always annoying were the frequent insults also to be endured, although in 1651 a suit was brought against Jacob LAMBERTSZ for insulting in one fell swoop the director, the court messenge,m and secretary de HOOGES.

Anthony is unusual for a Dutch given name, often written "Antoni" in the records of New Netherland, comes from the name of his maternal grandfather and suggests a link between the family and Spanish control of the Low Countries, including the Netherlands, from 1555 to 1648. Indeed, it is entirely possible that the de HOOGES line itself has some Spanish blood in it, since Spain sent many soldiers and administrators to rule the Netherlands while it was occupied and many of these men remained in the Netherlands (NEAL).

A promontory along the west shore of the Hudson River at the original southern boudry of Dutchess Co. that is nicknamed "Anthony's Nose" is said to have been named for de HOOGES; the nickname is a corruption of the Dutch word for promontory. (NEAL).

In Amsterdam, Anthony worked for the merchange-patroon Kiliaen van RENSSELAER until 30-Jul-1641, and then was sent to Rensselaerswyck. He departed from Amsterdam on 23-Jul, then sailed from Texel on the "den Conick David" on 30-Jul. After briefly running aground at Sandy Hook, the ship finally anchored in the East River off Manhattan Island on 29-Nov-1641. Probably because of the icy Hudson River, he spent the winter in New Amsterdam and did not reach te rather primitive and sparsely settled upriver settlement of Rensselaerswyck until 10-Apr-1642. The journal that de HOOGES kept during his voyage is considered a major source of information about the nature of the travel between the Netherlands and its new colony in America (NEAL).

In Jul-1655 Anthony signed a document for the court as schout and secretary, the former a title he had not regularly held.

Anthony de HOOGES was of Flemish stock... The mountian which lies between Westchester and Putnam Cos., NY was named "Anthony's Nose" after him. (HORNBECK Descendants)

According to a letter from Kiliaen van RENSSELAER, Anthony had a "sweetheart" in Holland, Anneken SPOROM, who married after he left (NY Record).

Anthony left only one son, and that son had an only son, named for his grandfather, who probably died in infancy; so the name became extinct in this country (NY Record).
