  • Notes 


    • He is said to have come from the same place at the same time as Jacob Janse and it is presumed they were brothers.

      The Annals of Newton by James Riker, Jr. "The family of Norstrand, or Van Norstrand, on Long Island, derive origin from Hans Jansen, who came over in 1640 from Noortstrandt in Holstein, and whose sons adopted the name of the place whence their father emigrated, which time had reduced to the present orthography. Hans. m. in 1652 Janneken Gerrits van Loon, and d. at Flatlands in 1690

    5. [S273] FamilySearch.org, FamilySearch FamilyTree, Register in alphabetical order, of the early settlers of Kings County, Long Island, N.Y.by Bergen, Teunis G., 1806-1881. [from old catalog]Publication date 1881.
      USE WITH CAUTION - contains many errors throughout.

      Hegeman family KNOWN ERRORS:
      • Adriaen Hegeman, of Flatbush, weaver, whose will was made in 1770 and proved in 1772 (K.Co. 135), was not a son of Isaac Hegeman, but rather of the latter’s brother, Abraham. (Unfortunately, this error was repeated in the present notes through to July 2009.)
      • Adriaen Hegeman, who made his will in 1752 (Bergen, K.Co. 135, writes “1755”), was a son not of Hendrick Hegeman, but rather of the latter’s brother Benjamin. (Unfortunately, this error was repeated in the present notes through to March 2002.)
      • Aeltje, daughter of Adriaen3 (Hendrick2) Hegeman (K.Co. 135), was really Antje.
      • Catharina Hegeman, wife successively of Hendrick Vonck and of Aucke Lefferts, was a daughter not of Benjamin2 Hegeman (as stated in K.Co. 136), but of his brother Denys2.
      • Catharina, called a daughter of Elbert3 Hegeman (K.Co. 136), was actually his sister.
      • Catharina Hegeman, wife of Theunis Bogaert, was a daughter not of Joseph2 Hegeman (as stated in K.Co. 138), but of his brother Isaac2.
      • Elbert, called a son of Joseph2 Hegeman (K.Co. 138), was really a son of Jacobus2 Hegeman.
      • Francis/Frans, called a son of Joseph2 Hegeman (K.Co. 138), was really the son of Hendrick2 Hegeman (note that this man is unnecessarily split into two different persons by Bergen and by Stoutenburgh).
      • Hendrick, assigned as a son to Jacobus2 Hegeman (K.Co. 137), was non-existant, as proved by the latter’s will.
      • Jacobus, alleged son of Hendrick2 Hegeman (K.Co. 137), is a chimaera, for whom no contemporary evidence exists.
      • Joost, son of Hendrick2 Hegeman (K.Co. 137), must be regarded as a duplication or as a chimaera, since Bergen also lists a son with the name Joseph, of which Joost is a nickname.
      • “Marragriete,” called a daughter of Adriaen3 (Hendrick2) Hegeman (K.Co. 135), really belongs a generation later (and to a different branch of the family), as she was a daughter of Adriaen Hegeman and Maria Cornel.
      • Peter Hegeman, “supposedly a son of Adriaen” (K.Co. 138; he is not listed under the account of his supposed father), would have had to have been an adult in 1656, only three years after (on Bergen’s own showing) Adriaen’s son Jacobus was born (and, as we now know, only seven years after Adriaen was married). In fact “Peter” is a mistake which occurs in several contemporary references to Adriaen himself, as is clear from the context,[1] and there is no convincing evidence for the existence of any Peter Hegeman in this era.
      • Peter Hegeman, who married Antje Hoogland, is variously identified as a son of Adriaen Hegeman and Maria van der Beeck (K.Co. 136) or as a son of Joseph Hegeman and Femmetje van der Beeck (K.Co. 138). In fact he was neither, as he (obviously) belongs to a later generation of the family. This error is noticed in Stoutenburgh’s Oyster Bay, p. 257.
      • Phebe, alleged daughter of Hendrick Hegeman (K.Co. 137), is a chimaera.
