Biography

About the year 1650, the father of Abraham Hasbrouck, living in Calais, and his family fled with other Huguenots from persecution in France to the Lower Palatinate, and made their home at Mannheim. Many Huguenot families sought refuge from their persecutors in this region. Abraham probably resided in Holland for awhile, also in England, serving in the English army with Edmund Andros (later Governor of New York). His brother Jean Hasbrouck, married Anna Deyo, (daughter of Christian Deyo) and in 1673 came to Esopus with his wife and two unmarried daughters, Mary and Hester. He found here a number of Huguenot settlers. Jean bought with him his certificate of church membership.

Colonel Abraham Hasbrouck, grandson of Abraham, wrote in his diary that his grandfather left Mannheim, where he lived with his father, to Rotterdam, and then on to Amsterdam, where he boarded a ship for England in April, 1675. From England he sailed for Boston, and from there going on to Esopus, where he found his brother Jean, who came to America three years before.

His future wife Maria Deyo and her family were on the same ship as Abraham. They were married in the Reformed Dutch Church of Kingston, New York in 1676, per the Baptismal and Marriage Register of the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, New York. Link below.

The little company of Huguenot settlers in Hurley and Kingston, so closely related by many ties, longed for a community of their own, and on September 29, 1677 obtained a grant of 36,000 acres - the beautiful fertile lowlands of the Wallkill known as the Paltz Patent. To Abraham Hasbrouck's influence with Governor Andros, the Huguenots were in part indebted for the grant of so fine a tract; as well as the superior characteristics of their leader, Louis DuBois and his partners: - Christian Doyo (Deyo), Abraham Haesbroecq (Hasbrouck), Andries Lefever (LeFevre), Jean Hasbroecq (Hasbrouck), Pierre Doyo (Deyo), Laurens Beverie (Bevier), Anthony Crespell (Crispell), Abraham DuBois, Hugo Frere (Freer), Isaac DuBois and Symeon LeFevre.

This land was purchased from the Indians May 23, 1677 and their relationship was always friendly. Here all of the "Duzine" except Anthony Crispell, established homes. The home of Abraham Hasbrouck in the village of New Paltz, still stands without alteration, owned by a direct descendant, Isaiah Hasbrouck.

Abraham Hasbrouck received his commission as a lieutenant of a company of foot for New Paltz and Kingston, August 30, 1685 and promoted to captain in 1689. He was a member of Assembly in 1698-'99. In 1700, his name appears in a listing of militia officers of a foot company, along with Moses Quantin, lieutenant; Lewis Bevier, ensign.

His father-in-law, Christian Deyo not only was one of the New Paltz Patentees, but his son was a patentee; and four of his daughters and a grand-daughter married patentees. He was rightfully called "Grandpere" -the grandfather of most of the children of this youthful settlement. He died about 1687.

Abraham and his wife Maria were members of the Reformed Dutch Church of New Paltz.

Abraham died March 7, 1717 of apoplexy.
