Hendrick Thomasse van Dyke, son of Thomas Janse and Sytie Dircks Van Dyke[1] and his brother Jan Thomas Van Dyke who also came to America in 1652.[2] However, we find cited below that Hendrick was the first to come to America as cited above in the record of his immigration in 1640, returned to The Netherland and second immigration in 1644 below.
He was born about 1609 in Holland, The Netherlands and died in New York City before March 20 1688. In his will he named one son and three daughters.[3] and was buried in an underground vault on the St. Mark's Chapel grounds.[4] The Stuyvesant vault's are underground where St. Mark's Church was built to replace St. Mark's Chapel, and the other vaults were moved to Evergreens Cemetery in 1864.[5]
Immigration
Hendrick Van Dyke was the first of his siblings to immigrate to America with his first wife and and one child on the ship "Waterhoundt" May 25 1640, was named as an Ensign Commandant for the Dutch West India Company. However, due to "his disaffection with Director Kieft he returned home in 1644 with his family." A review of the account ordered by the Hon. Christopher Morgan, Secretary of State reveals good reason for the "disaffection" for Director Kieft. When he was replaced with Petrus Stuyvesant Hendrick[6]returned to New Netherland with his family May 11 1647. At which time he was named "Schout Fiscal", that is, as Sheriff and District Attorney. After disagreements with Governor Stuyvesant, the latter removed him from those duties for twenty nine months.[7][8]
Marriage
He married 1. Duvertje Cornelisse Botjagers about 1635 in Utrecht, Holland who died in 1673 in New York City, 2. Magdalena (Jacobse) Jacobs, widow of Jacob Couwenhoven, on 30 May 1675 in New York City.[9][10]

Research Notes
I have removed the grandchildren from this profile and cited the two sources I used on this profile on the parents' profiles.[17]and this translation to English by Robert L. Billard [18]
The Findagrave memorial has added the grandchildren in English. Thank you.
In addition, in some of the birth records the translation of Evans work in Dutch that Billard identified him as Hendrick Van Dyke-fiscael as a witness.
The book cited in this profile by George Washington Schuyler is about Philip Schuyler who is connected to Hendrick Van Dyck-faecal.

There is no evidence from any records that Hendrick VanDyke-27 is the son of Thomas VanDyke and Sytie Dirks. It seems unlikely because--Hendrick arrived in New Netherland several years before Jan Thomasse VanDyke and the Long Island family. Hendrick is never listed as a witness to any of the children of Jan Thomasse--which he surely would have been. In my contact with Sharon Ward, I know that a lot of the sources are the old books by Bergen and Aitken. ALL those old books clearly state the Hendrick -27, the schout-fiscal, was from an entirely different family as Jan Thomasse Vandyke. Arbitrarily adding him (and Annetje Wilkins who probably isn't even a VanDyke to begin with) only confuses the legitimate research conducted on the Vandykes.
I have noted the connections by direct ancestors and the birth record of the children that identify him as the fiscael. He came to America in 1640, had trouble with Kiefft, went back to Holland. He returned in 1647 five years before Jan Thomassee Van Dyck. He is found in the birth records as Hendrick Van Dyck-fiscal Aug 11 1647 as a witness to the birth of Gerrit Doyman. Jan Thomasse Van Dyck's son Hendrick lived on Yellow Hook and Hendrick Van Dyke, his son, moved to Raritan. Thank you for you question.

Van Dyck-68 and Van Dyck-63 appear to represent the same person because: they were in an unmerged match & the New Netherland Settlers Approval System (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:New_Netherland_Settlers_-_Approval_System) now has them marked "Green" (NNS Category) and "Orange" (Merge Pending), indicating that the two are ready to be merged. Thanks!
Unfortunately he is not among my van Dyck / van Dyke profiles in my desktop database, but I think there is a very strong circumstantial case that he is the same sibling as
So I am going to go ahead and set the Unmerged Matches. If you agree that he is the same, please appropve the merge when Liz proposes it.
There are three matches total. The destination profile will be an obvious match with this one. So go ahead and approve that.
But I will hold off on the merge completion of the one above, until last, so that we will have maximum time to assess it, before actually connecting the two currently separate lines with the final merge.
