Biography

Hendrick Gerritsen was born in the Netherlands, probably in Hasselt, Overijssel. His father was Gerrit Gerritse Lansing, a baker, who died in the Netherlands. Hendrick emigrated to New Netherland in 1655 with his mother, Lysbet Hendricks, and siblings.

Hendrick Lansing is named in Albany court minutes of April 1, 1669, when he had a citation for a "second default."^[1] Albany court minutes of August 15, 1676, report that he was sued for "having called the Indians to come into [his house]."^[2] He appeared in the Albany court to give an affidavit on another matter on August 24, 1676.^[3] Court minutes of February 6 1676/7 refer to the wife of H. Lansing, indicating that Hendrick was married by that date, but the wife's name is not given.^[4]

He married Elizabeth (Lysbeth) Caspers. They had five known children.^[5] They settled in Beverwyck (later Albany), and he apparently earned his livelihood primarily as a fur trader.^[5] The Albany, New York, city census of 1697 lists Hendrick Lansing as a butcher and trader.^[6]
