- He signed his name Albert Albertse.
Immigrant ancestor of the Terhunes of New Amsterdam, Flatlands Long Isl and, and later Bergen County, East New Jersey. The first record we hav e of the immigrant is in New Amsterdam, on February 16, 1654, when Wolf ret Webber brought a suit against Albert Albertse in the burgomasters a nd schepens court for services of hisson, hired by Albertse. He was re corded as a "lientwever" (ribbonweaver), when he first came to New Amst erdam, and attempted to carryon his trade in the Dutch city. He next a ppears in 1657 as having rented and cultivated a farm on the Nyack (Naj ack) tract in New Utrecht, Long Island, owned by Conelius Van Werckhove n and held for the heirs of the estate of Jaques Cortelyou. He evident ly built a rude home. This home after the custom of the early Dutch fa rmers,consisted of a dugout cellar covered by a heavy thatch of rye str aw. A nearby spring was the source of fresh water. From such a house t hat the Director General and Council of New Amsterdam forced the farmer s to leave, after they had either destroyed or unroofed them. He moved h is family for safety from the Indians, into the village of New Utrecht, w here all isolated settlers were gathered for mutual protection.
This "Garrison Village", as they were called in New England was built i n 1660, but not until great opposition on the part of the disturbed far mers, had been overcome by force of law. It is recorded of Albert Albe rtse that he was fined fifty guilders by the Director General and Counc il of New Amsterdam for non-conformity with the orders of the governmen t. When he refused to pay he was imprisoned until he agreed to join in t he erection of the village of New Utrecht. He became the owner of one o f the first twelve houses built in the village, which shows that he was n ot only a tardy or rebellious settler. The same year he became a land o wner by purchasing fifty acres of land from Jacob Van Couwenhoven in th e village of Flatlands.
