He married Zara (Sara) Schoonmaker in 1725. Both were residents of Rochester in Ulster County at the time of their marriage.

He is the son of Moses DePuy and Marytje Wynkoop.

He died in Ulster County, New York, presumably at Rochester, some time after 22 July 1756, when he made his will, and before 21 August 1762, when the witnesses testified to its validity in Ulster County probate court.^[4]

Will

Jacobus De Puy of Rochester, Ulster County, New York made his will on 22 July 1756. In the will, he instructed that his wife Sarah should have the "full and ample possession" of his whole estate, except for portions designated for his sons Jacobus and Ephraim, and the profits of said estate, for as long as she remained his widow or until the youngest child then living reached the age of 21. After the youngest child reaching age 21 or her remarriage, she was to convey the estate to their children, except that for as long as she remained his widow she should have her "choice of my Negro wenches" from among his slaves, one room in his house with its cellar and garret, a garden, two apple trees, some flax, one milch cow, a bed stead and coverings and hangings, and some other household goods. Instructions for distribution of the estate are lengthy and confusing, and appear to be internally contradictory. Family members mentioned as heirs were sons Jacobus, Ephraim, Benjamin, Daniel, Jacob, and Joseph; son Jacobus' son Jacobus; and daughters (or their heirs): Antje, widow of Benjamin Schoonmaker; Elisabeth, the wife of Peter Eltinge; Cathrina; Susanna: and Sarah; Sarah and Mary, the children of daughter Maria, deceased, the wife of Jacobus Elmendorph Kooly(?). Sons Ephriam and Cornelius were designated to receive real estate. He named as executors his sons jacobus, Ephraim, Cornelius, and Benjamin and his brothers Cornelis De Puy and Moses De Puy.^[4]
