Andries Jochems

Name

Andries Jochems, also spelled Jochemsz, Jochums, Jochoms, Jochemsen.

Some genealogies falsely claim he was the son of Andries van Albada, son of a German Duke. That theory has been disproved by Charles Carroll Gardner in his “Genealogical Dictionary of New Jersey” based on conflicting chronology.[1] Apart from the chronological impossibility, the patronymic “Jochems” identifies Andries Jochems’s father as a man named Jochem, not Andries.

The Van Albada theory appears to trace back to a question in the 1896 Navorscher where G. Posthuma stated (without documentation) that Andries Jochems brought a heraldic display with him to New Amsterdam that resembled the coat of arms of the Van Albada family of Poppingawier (in Rauwerderhem, Friesland).[2] In response, A.J. Andreæ speculated that Andries van Albada (1553–1618), born out of wedlock to the Poppingawier priest Wopke van Albada, may have had a son out of wedlock named Jochem, who could have been the father of Andries Jochems.[3] Though that speculation fits the chronology and patronymic, no known record documents the existence of this proposed Jochem van Albada as father of Andries Jochems.

The coat of arms is mentioned in Anna Mary Moon’s 1933 sketch about the Anderson family. Apparently, a copy of the coat of arms was kept in the Anderson family, and had a note that it was for the Von Albade family, Prince of Galitzen in Germany.[4] It is unclear who added the information about the Prince of Galitzen to the copy, nor how it came to be in the possession of the Anderson family. According to the sketch, the progenitor “Joachem Andriezon Von Albade” was born in Germany, married in England, and settled in New York. This improbable migration path was not supported by documentation. Naming patterns and baptismal witnesses instead identify this Joachem Andriezen as Jochem Andriessen, son of Andries Jochemsen and Celijtje Fredericks.[5] Original documents yielded no evidence for him to be a prince. Andries Jochemsen’s occupation of sailor, sailmaker, and innkeeper makes a noble or royal connection improbable.

A combination of evidence proves that Andries Jochems was not a member of the Van or Von Albada family, but rather the son of Jochem Andries and Griete Pauwels. New Netherland settler Andries Jochems is mentioned with his wife Celitje Fredricx in New Netherland records.[6] Their Amsterdam marriage record proves they married in the Netherlands rather than England. Groom Andries Jochems was assisted by his mother Griet Pauwels. The record identifies his place of origin as Leeuwarden.[7] Griet Pauwels registered her intentions to marry Jochem Andries in Leeuwarden on 16 January 1596.[8] Leeuwarden records show Jochem Andries was a window maker in 1596, 1617, and 1618.[9] Jochem Andries, window maker, was living in Amsterdam by 1628,[10] the place where Andries Jochems lived and married three years later. No known record documents a fixed surname for Jochem Andries or his son Andries Jochems, who relied on patronymics to identify themselves. No known contemporary source supports the link to the Frisian Van Albada family.

Origin

Andries Jochems was originally from Leeuwarden in Friesland.[11] He probably moved to Amsterdam with his parents some time between 1618, when his father appeared in court in Leeuwarden,[12] and 18 September 1628, when his father gave a favorable deposition about an Amsterdam midwife who had been his neighbor for several years. His father was a burgher of Amsterdam by that time.[13] Andries was living in Amsterdam’s Linnestraet in 1631.[14]

Migration

Andries Jochems moved to New Amsterdam between 21 January 1650, when he and his wife, together with her siblings, sold her late grandmother’s house in Amsterdam,[15] and 18 September 1650, when he sponsored a baptism in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam.[16] The sale of the Amsterdam house may have funded the move to the colony. Two of the other heirs—his wife’s brother Thomas Fredericks and her brother-in-law Claes Hendricks, carpenter (married to Neeltje Fredericx)—also went to New Netherland around the same time.[17] 

Settlement

Andries Jochemsen settled in New Amsterdam. On 9 March 1657 he owed 10 guilders for the burgher right of that town.[18] On 11 March 1661 he was 10 guilders behind on his New Amsterdam property taxes.[19] 

From 3 August 1665 Andries Jochimsen owned a house in Beverwijck (now Albany, New York).[20] It is unlikely he ever lived there since he continued to appear in New Amsterdam records.[21]

Biographical Details

Andries Jochemsen was born in Leeuwarden, Friesland say 1607 (age 24 at marriage). He was the son of Jochem Andries and Griet Pauwels.[22] His mother was present at his marriage in Amsterdam in 1631.[23] Andries Jochems died after 24 July 1674, when he lost a court case.[24] He probably died after the beginning of 1675, when he owed 37 guilders and 14 stivers to Asser Levi.[25]

Marriage and Children

Andries Jochemsen and Celitgie Frerix registered their marriage intentions before the Dutch Reformed Church of Amsterdam on 20 December 1631. He was a 24-year-old sailor from Leeuwarden who lived at the Linnestraet in Amsterdam. He was assisted by Grietie Pouwels (his mother). His 22-year-old bride was from Amsterdam and lived at the Boomstraat. Her parents had died, and she was assisted by her grandmother Celijtgen Willems. The groom signed with a mark, while the bride signed her name “Seletien Frederickx.”[26] 

As Selijtje Frericks, daughter of Frerick Tomass and Franse Cornelis, she was baptized in the Nieuwe Kerk (Dutch Reformed) in Amsterdam on 10 May 1608. Selijtje Willems (her grandmother) witnessed the baptism.[27] 

Children of Andries Jochems and Selijtje Fredericks:

1. Davidt, son of Andries Jochems and Selijtjen Vrederix, baptized in the Oude Kerk Dutch Reformed church of Amsterdam 21 August 1633. Sponsors: Catrina Wilkes Bracht.[28] He may have died young since no further record of him has been found.
2. Jochem, born say 1635 (named after paternal grandfather). He married say 1664 (first known child baptized 4 November 1665) Emmetje or Emmetje Jans.[29] He died between 15 October 1674 (last will) and 11 March 1674/5 (probate).[30]
3. Fransijntje, daughter of Andries Jochems and Selijtje Frerix, baptized in the Nieuwe Kerk Dutch Reformed church in Amsterdam on 7 September 1638. Sponsor: Jannetje Frerix.[31] Francijntje Andries from Amsterdam had marriage intentions published in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam to marry Abraham Lubberts from Amsterdam on 21 October 1656.[32] Married as her second husband, banns published in the Dutch Reformed Church in New York on 8 October 1691 Roelof Swartwout, widower of Eva Alberts. He was living in the Esopus, she was living in New York. They received permission to marry in Bergen, New Jersey.[33]

Another Andries Jochems in Amsterdam had children baptized in the Evangelical-Lutheran church between 1647 and 1665.[34] He was married to Celitje Gerrits (intentions 15 December 1646). They were both German.[35] The baptismal records of their oldest children only mention the father, but their Evangelical-Lutheran religion makes it possible to identify them as the children of the German couple, who were still in the Netherlands after Andries Jochems and Celijtje Fredericks are documented in New Netherland.

Education

Andries lived in Friesland for the first decade or more of his life, and probably spoke Frisian. He later lived in Amsterdam for more than twenty years prior to moving to New Netherland, and would have spoken or at least understood Dutch.

Andries signed with a mark,[36] and thus was probably illiterate. His wife, who signed her name to their marriage record,[37] kept the books for their inn.[38]

Occupation

Andries Jochemsen was a sailor when he married in Amsterdam in 1632.[39] On 21 January 1650 he was a tailor in Amsterdam.[40]

In New Netherland, Andries Jochemsen worked as a sail maker. On 22 September 1654 he sued Pieter Cornelis van Veen for payment of work on the ship Nieuwe Liefde [New Love]. The court ordered Pieter van Veen to pay and kept him under arrest until he would pay or post bail.[41] Van Veen still had not paid on 5 October 1654, when Andries Jochemsen specified he was still owed 6 beavers for the making of sails for the Nieuwe Liefde. Van Veen claimed he could not pay before he received money from others. The court ordered him to pay within a month.[42] In 1667 and 1670, Andries Jochemsen, sailmaker, appeared before the New York court.[43]

From 1657, Andries Jochemsen owned an inn in New Amsterdam. On 12 April 1657 Andries received permission to tap from the burgomasters.[44] His wife Celijtje Fredericks probably operated the inn, since she is the one who appeared in court on matters relating to it. On 1 November 1661, Celijtje sued skipper Willem Bordingh, who had stood as surety for a cook, pilot, and sailmakers who ran up a tab of 141 guilders and 19 stivers. A gunner also owed her 80 guilders.[45] In 1662, Andries Jochemsen’s wife Seletje appeared in court to testify about a lodger at her house, Reyer Cornelissen, who was suspected of having stolen a sack of grain. She testified she had not seen him with the grain.[46] When Andries was sued for unpaid tappers’ excises on 2 February 1662, his wife appeared in court to defend him.[47] 

On several occasions, Andries Jochemsen violated the tapping ordinances. In November 1661, the sheriff Pieter Tonneman sued Andries Jochemsen for having tapped during the church services of 6 and 13 November. He called for a fine of 37 guilders and a suspension from trade for one year and six weeks. Andries produced several witnesses who denied there was drinking or tapping during the sermons.[48] Nothing more was found of that particular case, though the affidavit that notary Salomon Lachaire wrote for Andries Jochimse on 1 November 1661 may have been related to this case.[49] On 17 January 1662, the sheriff was back in court to demand 18 guilders and suspension of trade for one year and six weeks because Andries Jochemsen had tapped to three Black men during the Sunday service.[50] Two weeks later, two witnesses stated they were not drinking during the sermon and that the Black men only came in after the second preaching.[51] On 28 February 1662, the three Black men testified. One admitted to drinking brandy during the sermon, one only arrived when the preaching was almost over, and the last said he went when the service was out.[52] On 7 March 1662, Andries Jochemsen swore that he gave no drink to the black men during the sermons. The court dismissed the sheriff’s demand.[53] 

On 12 June 1663, sheriff Tonneman was back in court with a complaint against Andries Jochemsen. He said he saw people at Jochemsen’s house between 10 and 11, even though placards made it illegal to tap after nine o’clock. Jochemsen’s wife had called after him: “Sheriff, hast thou any soul or conscience? Dost thou expect to go to heaven?” Andries denied having tapped and said they were conversing about selling houses. He claimed he did not illtreat the officer. Nothing was disposed in the case except a reprimand.[54] 

Two weeks later, on 26 June 1663, sheriff Tonneman filed another complaint against Jochemsen. This time, he demanded a fine of 25 guilders for selling beer in cans that were too small, and a fine of 54 guilders for having seven or eight people playing backgammon on Sunday contrary to the placards. The defendant said he had not tapped with those pots. He admitted to having tapped on a Sunday, but only after the preaching was over. The court condemned him to a fine of 10 guilders for having unstamped and undersized cans and decreed that no tavern keeper can have cans in his house that were not full size and stamped. The court dismissed the officer’s further demands. [55] Tonneman appealed the judgement.[56] The final judgment on appeal is not known.

On 7 May 1667, sheriff Allard Anthony appeared in court to submit his account against Andries Jochemsen for the sum of 85 guilders and 4 stivers. The court allowed him half that amount. [57] 

Offices

On 12 February 1657, Andries Jochemsz was nominated for the position of fire warden in New Amsterdam, along with Daniel Litschoe.[58] Andries was not elected and Daniel Litschoe was appointed the next day.[59]

On 13 April 1657, Andries Jochems obtained the small burgher right of New Amsterdam.[60] Around 1660, Andries Jochems was a shield bearer or soldier of the burgher corps in that city.[61]

Holdings and Estate

On 13 May 1651, Andries Jochemsen leased a house and lot on the East River from Daniel Litschoe. The lot was located between the lots of Claes Hendricksen (his brother-in-law) and Rut Jacobsen. He paid 125 guilders per year to rent the lot from 1 May 1651.[62]  In Iconography of Manhattan Island, Phelps Stokes located the house at the site of nos. 125–131 Pearl Street. He indicated that Claes Hendricksen, a master carpenter, had built the houses before going to Albany. Andries Jochemsen operated his inn here from 1657.[63] He may have renovated the house in 1660, when he bought a beam that Dirck Volckerzen had taken from the water.[64]

On 22 November 1655, Andries Jochemsen sued Claes Clasen Smith. Smith had rented a house from Jochemsen and had promised to take care of the garden and orchard, but it had been destroyed by goats when Smith was away.[65]

On 16 March 1656, Andries Jochomsen and Claes Hendricksen declared that they owed Govert Loockermans and Isaack d’Foreest as guardians over the minor children of Cornelis Volckerts the sum of 500 guilders. They put their house at the East River up as security. 300 guilders was to be paid in merchantable beavers, and 200 in good sewant. They borrowed the money for the house that Claes Hendricks had bought from Jan Peeck, and where Andries was living. They promised to repay within two years, at 10% interest.[66]

In December 1661, Mary de Truy [Marie du Trieux, widow of Cornelis Volckertszen] appeared before the orphan chamber with Isaack de Foreest and Govert Loockermans, the guardians of her children. She demanded permission to receive the interest on 500 guilders settled on the house of Andries Jochemsen, which request was permitted.[67] Claes Hendricksen was no longer a debtor; the entire sum now seemed to be in Andries’s name. On 16 October 1663, Isaack de Foreest sued Andries Jochemsen for 500-guilder debt from a mortgage. Andries’s wife appeared in court to acknowledge the debt. The court ordered them to pay within six weeks. [68] Andries did not pay, and Isaack de Foreest went to court on 27 November 1663 to demand execution of the payment. Andries’ wife appeared in court to show a mortgage against Claas Clasen van Baren for a claim of 240 guilders which Claesen promised to pay in June 1664. The court ordered Andries Jochemsen’s wife to pay within four weeks the difference of the debt to De Foreest and the claim to Clasen.[69] Apparently she did not pay this reduced sum either, since Isaack de Foreest appeared on 8 January 1664 to request execution of the judgment, to which the court agreed. [70] On 15 January 1667, Isaack Foreest was back in court to demand 381 guilders on a mortgage of the house of Andries Jochemsen. The court ordered Jochemsen to pay within a month after the first yachts left Albany.[71] It took until 20 October 1669 for the mortgage to be repaid.[72]

Andries Jochemsen later owned a house in Beverwijck (now Albany, New York). On 14 November 1663 Claes Janssen van Baren owed 244 guilders in beavers to Andries Jochimse, for which he put up his house in Beverwijck, located between those of Stoffel Jansen and Jan Verbeeck, as security. He conveyed that house to Andries Jochimsen on 3 August 1665. Seletje Fredrics took possession of the house that day, with power of attorney from her husband, and quitclaimed Claes Janssen for the debt.[73] On 1 April 1667, Andries Jochemsen mortgaged that house as security for a debt of 230 guilders to Simon Jansen Romeijn, who had paid off his debt to Isaac Foreest.[74] In her book on Beverwijck, Janny Venema reconstructed the location of the house bought by Andries Jochemsen as East Broadway, between Fuyckenkill and Vossenkil.[75]

Church Membership

Andries Jochemsen was affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church. He married and had his children baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of Amsterdam, and sponsored the baptisms of several children in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam:

• Adriaen, son of Thomas Fredricksz, baptized 18 September 1650. Sponsors: Andries Jochemszen, Hillegond Megapolensis.[76]

• Jacob and Rachel, twins of Andries Jochemszen and Françijntie Andries, baptized 2 June 1673. Sponsors: Andries Jochemszen, Judith Verlet, Geertie Theunis.[89]

The last six baptisms were for grandchildren of Andries Jochems.

Associations

On 24 March 1653, Andries Jochemsen witnessed a power of attorney that Sijbout Clasen gave to Isack Hendricksen Kip.[90] On 23 October 1654, he witnessed a property transaction between Jan Peeck and Claes Hendricksen.[91] 

Andries Jochemsen frequently associated with his wife’s siblings and their spouses. Her brother Thomas Fredericks and sister Neeltje Fredericks, the wife of Claes Hendricks, appears to have moved to New Netherland around the same time. The siblings and their spouses acted as baptismal sponsors for each other’s children. Andries Jochemsen’s house was next to Claes Hendricks’s house, and probably built by Claes.

Additional Details

In 1660, Andries Jochems purchased a beam from Dirck Volckerszen. The ownership of the beam was disputed. On 15 October 1660, Dirck Volckerzen testified that he had found the beam in the water near Hellegat [Hell’s Gate]. If he was not allowed to keep the beam, he wanted to be paid for salvaging it. The burgomasters told him he could keep it if he could prove his story.[92]

Andries remained in New Netherland after the English takeover. In October 1664, “Andries Jogkimzen” took the oath of allegiance to the King of Great Brittain.[93] On 8 July 1672, he paid 10 guilders in sewant toward the repair of Fort James.[94]

As a businessman, Andries appeared in court several times to settle debts with his debtors and creditors in various places along the Hudson. In 1655, Andries Jochemsen sued Pieter Jansen in New Amsterdam. Jansen’s wife appeared and said that they owed some wood to Jochemsen.[95] On 16 May 1656, Andries Jochemsen was owed 7 guilders and 3 stivers from the estate of the late Cornelis Groesen. Because the estate was insolvent, Jochemsen only received 6 guilders.[96] On 22 February 1661, the New Amsterdam court ordered Andries Jochemensen to pay 12 guilders and 13 stivers to Jan Jurriaanzen, after Andries failed to appear in court for the third time.[97] Joannes Withart sued Andries Jochemsen in New Amsterdam on 10 January 1662 over an unpaid bill for beer amounting to 350 guilders and 10 stivers.[98] On 1 September 1662, a declaration by Andries Jochemsen appeared in an inventory of papers for a court case on behalf of Jacob Vis, a defendant in a case of slander brought by Pelgrom Clocq.[99] Lachaire made a visit to Andries Jochems with Vis on 10 June 1662 for an affidavit, which is probably the affidavit in this case file.[100] On 10 October 1662, Hans Carrelsen van Langesont sued Andries Jochemsen before the court of Wiltwijck (now Kingston) for payment of passage fees between Manhattan and Fort Orange. Andries admitted the debt and gave a claim against Cornelis Barense Slecht in payment.[101] In 1663, Andries Jochemsen sued Teunis Tomassen Quick for a debt of 90 guilders. Andries’ wife and son appeared in the New Amsterdam court to testify about the mark in the wife’s book that showed the debt.[102] On 25 January 1669/70, Andries Jochemsen sued Simon Turcq for a debt of 150 guilders. The court found in his favor. [103] In 1674, Andries Jochemsen lost a case against Luijcas van Tienhoven, who sued him for 75 guilders or three beavers for annual money.[104]

On 10 May 1661, Jan Lauwrens sued Andries Jochemsen in New Amsterdam. The case was referred to the road inspectors and surveyor to decide and reconcile, and appears to have been about a boundary dispute. Later that year, on 12 July 1661, the court ordered Jan Lauwrens to pay surgeon’s fees after he had accidentally shot Andries Jochemsen. Lauwrens had shot a gun on the arrival of a bark and had previously looked out and seen no-one, but still managed to shoot Andries. The court did not find him guilty of any criminal offense but did order him to compensate the surgeon’s fees.[105]
