Evidence suggests an older Hendricks who only appears in a very early tax record once.

Hendri(c)k Phillips was married to Marretje Oosterom.

On 17 March 1732, the baptism of their daughter Magdel, recorded as the child of Hendrik Philips and Marretje Oosterrom, was recorded in the Reformed Dutch Church of Poughkeepsie and The Flats (Dutchess County, New York), with witnesses Jan Oosterrom and Blandina Ralje. On that same day, Hendrik Philips and Mareitje Oosterom were witnesses to the baptism in the same church of Hendrik, son of Jan Oosterrom and Blandina Ralje.[1]

Recorded as a sponsor along with his wife in 1745 in the RDC of Fishkill records.

All of their children were baptised in Dutchess county except for Peter, Koenrad, and Roelof whose baptisms have not been discovered. Space:List_of_Baptisms_for_Hendrik_and_Marretje_Oosterom

Hendrick was involved in County Court cases from 1739-at least 1759. In 1759, his son Jacobus (James) was involved in a scandalous bastardy law suit. A number of relatives were called to testify and one is left with the impression that Jacobus was trying to weasel out of his responsibility. Hendrick had to stand bond for Jacobus' child support (see images for bond with signature).

For your consideration, here is an excerpt of a small handwritten history written by Anne Van Tine. The Frances Phillips Van Tine mentioned is her grandmother, Catherine Phillips is Frances's mother. So far as I know it is the only history written by a direct descendant of Hendrick Phillips. Cari VanTine Yocom

In 1811 he married Frances Phillips daughter of Catherine Phillips and David Phillips. They were cousins. They are buried in the old Dutch Church burying ground Fishkill Village.
Frances Phillips great-grand father came from Holland. He built the half stone house next to what is now Charles Brinkerhoff place on the left-hand side of the Poughkeepsie road.
He had four sons and two daughters. Grand-mother thought that some were born in Holland. One of the sons married Lavinia Sawyer. They lived on leased land on the Verplanck place. The Verplanck land then reached to Fishkill Village.
[?]Phillips and Lavinia Sawyer Phillips had three boys and three girls. Two died young.
Abram married Easter -----
Catherine married her cousin [David? Daniel] Phillips
One married Polly Ostrander, they bothe died of fever while on their way to California.
One child never married
[David? Daniel] and Catherine Phillips had two children Abram and our grand-mother Frances.
Abram lived married and died in Bloomingburg Sullivan Co. N.Y.
Frances was married to John Van Tine son of Cornelius and Nellie Van Tine in 1811. A few years after their marriage while their son Samuel was a baby grand father was obliged to go to the war of '12. Grand-father's sister Betsey lived in the house with grand-mother while both of their husbands were in the war. For days together they never saw a man pass their houses. The only men left in a long distance around them was one old man and a foolish young man. The women would nail up their windows an hour before sunset.
Grand-father walked from New York City where the army was stationed to Fishkill between sunrise and sunset, stayed two or three days and then walked back."

There are three copies of this history. One is held by the DAR and available through the Family History Library. There are errors in the history. We haven't been able to connect Daniel/David to the correct Phillips family. Catherine was the daughter of Peter Phillips and Lavinia (Wyntje) Sawyer. We can't identify Abram who lived in Bloomingburg. There was an Abram there very briefly but nothing more about him. We're quite sure that the son that married Polly Ostrander may be wrong because the time frame for going to California seems wrong. Anyway, this is for your consideration.

Yes, but the library is closed of course as is the Family History Library. The book is over 700 dollars online. Cari
