Harck Siboutsen

Name

Harck Siboutsen. Spelling variations include Herck or Hark and Sijbetsen, Sijbouts, Sijboutsen, Sijbouts, Sybouts, or Syboutsen. Harck named his first son Sibout,[1] apparently after his father, confirming that Siboutsen was a patronymic. Harck Siboutsen is not known to have used a hereditary last name, though descendants went by Kranckheyt and (later) Cronkite.[2]

Origin

Harck Siboutsen was from Langedijk according to his 1642 marriage record[3] and a 1647 power of attorney.[4] He lived in Oudkarspel, in the Langedijk [Long Dike] region in Holland, in 1625 and 1628.[5]

Different places have a name similar to “Langedijk,” causing previous authors to come to various conclusions about Harck’s origins.  In the province of Holland, the Netherlands, it was the name of a long dike, and the region around it.[6] There is also a village called Langedijcke in Ooststellingwerf, Friesland, the Netherlands.[7] In his Revised History of Harlem, James Riker assumed this was Harck’s place of origin.[8] Other authors followed this assumption.[9] In his earlier work Annals of Newtown, James Riker had called Harck Siboutsen “a native of Languedoc, in the south of France”—an apparent misinterpretation of Langedijk.[10] However, the Frisian names Harck and Sijbout(sen) are typical for the northern provinces of the Netherlands, particularly the Langedijk area in the province of Holland where Oudkarspel is located.[11]

Migration

Harck Siboutsen was in New Netherland by 16 November 1642.[12] He probably came to New Netherland in the late 1630s to early 1640s as an employee of the West India Company, which owed him back wages in 1647.[13]

Settlement

Harck Siboutsen initially lived in Manhattan, where he sold a house in 1643.[14] In 1654 he received land on Long Island, near the Poor Bowery.[15] He was living on Long Island when he sold a lot in New Amsterdam in 1655.[16] The Poor Bowery became part of Newtown (present-day Elmhurst, Queens County, New York).[17] As “Harrik Sibartson,” he was taxed in Newtown in September 1675. His property included 30 acres of land, two horses, two three-year-old horses, two oxen, four cows, and one swine. He was enumerated next to his son “Sibart Harickson,” taxed on one poll, 24 acres, plus some livestock[18] In 1678, “Harrick Sibertson” was taxed on two polls [adults], 22 acres, six cows, three two-year-old cattle, three one-year-old cattle, six horses, one two-year-old horse, two one-year-old horses, ten swine, and two sheep. His son was not in that rate list.[19] Harck Siboutsen did not appear on the 1683 rate list of Newtown, but he may not have headed a household any longer.[20]

Biographical Details

Harck Siboutsen was born about 1620, probably in Oudkarspel. When his father Sijbet Pieter Harcx made a will around August 1625, he named sons Pieter, Harck, and Cornelis Sijbets with his late wife Maertgen Cornelis; daughter Anna Sijbouts with his late wife Maertgen Willems; and daughter Aeriaen Sibouts with his late wife Aeff Aerians.[21] The son Pieter had been baptized in Oudkarspel on 5 August 1618.[22] The order of children in the will suggests that Harck and Cornelis were younger than Pieter, born say 1620 and 1622.

It is possible Harck was the Herck, son of Sijb Sijbes, who was baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of Oudkarspel on 28 January 1620.[23] Sijb is a variation of Sijbet or Sijbout but the father’s patronymic does not match the information in the will. No other mention of Sijb Sijbes or variants were found in Oudkarspel, however,[24] so the patronymic in the baptismal register may have been an error. John Blythe Dobson first recognized that this baptism could refer to the New Netherland settler Harck Sijboutsen.[25]

A combination of evidence proves that New Netherland settler Harck Sijboutsen was the son of Sijbet Pieter Harckx and Maertgen Cornelis. The last will of Sijbet Pieter Harckx mentioned Harck as the second of three sons with Maertgen Cornelis.[26] The inferred birth date of circa 1620 is plausible for the New Netherland settler, who married in 1642.[27] Sijbet Pieter Harckx’s son Harck was still living in 1631.[28] Having survived infancy, he probably reached adulthood. As the second son, he would have been more likely to move away to a different colony than the oldest son. Harck Sijboutsen and Wijntjen Teunis named their eldest son Sijbaut and their eldest daughter Marijken, a variation of Maertgen.[29] They apparently named the children after the grandparents—a Dutch custom. They named children Annetie, Ariaentie, and Pieter, three of the four names of the siblings of Harck, son of Sijbet Pieter Harcks.[30] The only sibling after whom Harck Sijboutsen did not name a child is Cornelis, who probably died young.[31] Sijbet Pieter Harcx and Maertgen Cornelis had a son Pieter, who appears to have survived childhood along with Harck. Pieter Sijboutszen was a baptismal witness to one of Harck Sijboutsen’s children in New Amsterdam in 1657.[32] In 1664, the neighbors of the house formerly belonging to Sijbet Pieter Harcx were carpenters.[33] New Netherland settler Harck Siboutsen, a ship’s carpenter, belonged to the same social class as the neighbors in Oudkarspel.[34] Oudkarspel was part of the Langedijk region, the place of origin of the New Netherland settler.[35] 

Harck Siboutsen died, perhaps on Long Island, after 6 August 1681, when his son Joseph was baptized in New York.[36] He died by 9 April 1684, when his Newtown neighbor William Hallet Sr. sold land “bounded upon the meadow of old Herrick deceased” to Samuel Moore.[37] Old Herrick’s identification as Harck Siboutsen is confirmed in a 1686 patent, which describes that land as “bounded upon the easterly corner by the meadow of Harrich Sybourtsen deceased.”[38]

Marriage and Children

Harck Siboutsen married Wijntje Theunis, the daughter of Theunis Thomas and Belijtgen Jacobs.[39] Herck and Wijntje appear together in several baptismal records of their children. They must be the Henricus Sibelszen, a single man from Langendijck, and Marritje Theunis, single woman from Naerden, who registered their intentions to marry in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam 16 November 1642.[40] The unusual combination of Sibelszen (a plausible variation of Sibouts), Langedijk, and Theunis suggests this was their marriage record despite the discrepancies in the names. The earliest surviving copy of the marriage records was made by Rev. Selijns in the 1680s.[41] It is possible he transcribed their names incorrectly. No further records were found for a couple Henricus Sibelszen and Marritje Theunis, supporting the conclusion that this was an erroneous recording of Harck Siboutsen and Wijntje Theunis. Wijntje had been baptized in Naarden on 23 July 1628,[42] and was just fourteen years old when she married Harck.

1. Sijbaut, son of Herckel Sijbauts and Wijntie Theunis, baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam on 4 December 1644 (witnesses: Sijbaut Claeszen, Henddrick Jacobszen, Sara Schepmoes).[43] He registered his intentions in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York in April 1669 to marry Marijtje Abrahams from Manhattan.[44]

12. Hilletie, daughter of Herck Siboutszen and Wijntie Theunis, baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York on 22 April 1668 (witnesses Jonas Bartelszen, Trijntie Wemeijers).[67] She died by 1717 (when her husband was remarried).[68] She married (intention dated 5 August 1692) in the Flatbush Dutch Church, Jan Gerretse Snedeker, of Jamaica,[69] died between 31 May 1740 (when he made his will) and 26 August 1749 (when it was proved).[70] Jan Snedeker outlived Hilletie and married secondly before 19 May 1717 (when their only known son, Johannes, was baptized in the Jamaica Dutch Church),[71] Catharina Polhemus, widow of Jochem Kaljer. The will of John Snediker, in Queens County, yeoman, dated 31 May 1740 and proved 26 April 1749, mentions sons Johannis, Garret, and Jacobus, daughters Williamtie, and Margaret (wife of Abraham Lent), and wife Catherine.[72] In his 1728 will, Jacobus Kranckheijt left five pounds to be shared among the children of “my sister Hilletie Snediker, Decd.” [73]
13. Pieter, son of Herc Siboutszen and Wijntie Theunis, baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York on 22 March 1670 (witnesses: Jacobus de Keij, Geertie Theunis).[74] He likely died young, as he was not mentioned in the will of his brother Jacobus.[75]
14. Weijntie, daughter of Herck Siboutszen and Weijntie Theunis, baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York on 27 March 1675 (witnesses: Karsten Luurzen, Engeltje Hercks).[76] She was still alive in 1728, when she was mentioned in the will of her brother Jacobus.[77] She married as her first husband, probably about 1694, Jan Pieters Luyster, of Flatlands, who died (testate) shortly before 1 June 1697, when 26 guilders were paid to the church of Flatlands “for a grave and the use of the pall for John Luyster.”[78] She married as her second husband by 1702 (birth of child), Pieter Haff, of Flushing.[79] Wyntje Hoff is named in the 1728 will of her brother Jacobus Kranckheyt.[80] She and her second husband had at least five children, baptized in the Dutch Church of Jamaica between 1702 and 1716.[81]
15. Joseph, son of Herc Siboutszen and Wijntie Theunis, baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York on 6 August 1681 (no witnesses).[82] This may have been a delayed baptism since it is highly unlikely Wijntje had a child at age 53. Joseph likely died young, as he is not mentioned in the will of his brother Jacobus.[83]

Education

Harck Siboutsen was a ship’s carpenter,[84] an occupation typically learned as an apprentice. He signed with a mark in November 1643.[85] He was able to write his name, however. On 27 July 1647, he signed his name “Harck Sijbetsen” when he gave a power of attorney.[86]

Occupation

Harck Siboutsen worked as a ship carpenter in New Netherland. On 27 July 1647 “Harck Sijbesen” from Langedijck, ship carpenter, gave power of attorney to Claes Jansen Calff to collect his wages from the West India Company. The company’s chamber of Amsterdam owed him 153 guilders, 14 stivers, and 8 pennies for wages earned in New Netherland.[87]

Two years later, Harck was involved in a wage strike. On 23 March 1649, ship carpenters Lambert Moll, Jan Claesz van Bellecum, and Harck Sijboltsz refused to work on the ship De Liefde, belonging to the West India Company, unless they were paid 4 guilders per day above the cost of materials. The council of New Netherland considered this rate too high. They ordered the ship carpenters to get the ship in proper order as soon as their boss commanded, and appointed impartial arbiters to determine fair wages.[88] The incident shows Harck Sijbouts working with others, under supervision.

Holdings and Estate

Harck Siboutsen and his siblings owned the front of a house in Oudkarspel, which they had inherited from their parents. They sold the property on 2 February 1628, with guardians representing the minor children.[89] 

Harck Siboutsen sold a house and lot on the island of Manhattan to Barent Dircksen in November 1643 for 175 guilders and half a barrel of beer as a treat. The house was located near Fort Amsterdam.[90] It is unknown when Harck purchased that house.

On 29 January 1652, Harck Sijboutsen’s lot was mentioned as neighboring the lot on the Heeregraft [Lord’s Canal] on Manhattan that Abraham Rycken sold to Jochum Beeckman.[91] On 13 April 1655, Harck Sijboutsen, by then living on Long Island, sold his lot at the east side of the canal between the lots of Abraham Rijcken and Jochem Beeckman to Luijcas Dircksen for 225 guilders in sewant.[92] Harck Sijboutsen apparently did not have a clear title yet. The land had originally been granted to Lourens Pieters Noorman on 12 March 1647, who conveyed it to Harck Sijboutsen on 18 February 1656.[93] Harck conveyed the lot to Luijcas Dircksen on 22 March 1656.[94]

On 2 July 1654, Harck Sijboutsen received a patent for land beyond Hellgate on Long Island, extending on the west side of the Company’s land and on the east side of Abraham Rijcken’s land; along the creek or marsh, running west northwest and east southeast, 144 rods; running into the woods west southwest to a fresh meadow called the “Poors’ Meadow” in length 220 rods on both sides; in breadth in the rear 70 rods; containing together 21 morgens.[95] On 18 April 1664, he received an additional salt meadow lying beyond Hellgate on Long Island near the “Poors’ Farm” on the east side of the Company’s woodland, and on the west side of the Deacon’s meadow; with a creek between both forming the northern boundary and a creek on the south side; it contains 3 morgens and 96 rods; also, a parcel of fresh meadow lying on Long Island near the “Poor Farm,” in the rear of his cultivated land, northwest of Abraham Rijcken’s, southeasterly of the “Poors’ Meadow,” the division lines on both sides running southwest, in breadth 30 rods, in length 100 rods; containing 5 morgens.[96]

Church Membership

Harck Siboutsen had his children baptized in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam/New York. In 1688, his wife or widow Wijntie Hercks [Wijntie, Herck’s wife] donated 50 guilders toward the erection of a new Reformed Dutch Church in that location.[97]

Herck Sybouts witnessed the baptisms of several children in the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam/New York:

• Probably: Dievertje, daughter of Barent Jacobszen, baptized 1 February 1643 (witnesses: Hendrick Sibout [probably a misspelling of Harck], Gijsbert Corneliszen, Christina Vijnen).[98]
• Jan, son of Hendrick Corsens, baptized 28 August 1650 (witnesses: Herck Sibits and his wife).[99]
• Marritie, daughter of Siboudt Herckszen and Marritje Abrahams, baptized 28 October 1672 (witnesses: Herck Siboudtszen, Marritie Hercks).[100]
• Abraham, son of Rijck Abrahamszen and Trijntie Hercx, baptized 12 May 1675 (witnesses: Herck Siboutszen, Trijntie Cregiers).[101]
• Hercules, son of Pieter Breestede and Engeltie Hercx, baptized 18 October 1679 (witnesses: Herck Siboutszen, Geertie Theunis).[102]
• Wijntie, daughter of Sibout Herckszen and Marritie Abrahamsz, baptized 1 May 1680 (witnesses: Herck Siboutszen, Wijntie Theunis).[103]
• Wijntie, daughter of Evert Aertszen and Marritie Hercx, baptized 13 September 1680 (witness: Herck Siboutszen).[104]
• Wijntie, daughter of Theunis Hercxen and Fijtie Hendricx, baptized 15 September 1680 (witnesses: Herck Siboutszen and Wijntie Theunis).[105]
• Marritje, daughter of Coenraed ten Eijck and Belitie Hercx, baptized 3 November 1680 (witnesses: Herck Siboutszen and Aefje Boelen).[106]
• Herck, son of Rijck Abrahamszen and Trijntie Herckx, baptized 6 August 1681 (itnesses: Herck Sijboutszen, Abraham Rijcken, Geertie Theunis). [107]

Except for the first child, these were all grandchildren of Harck Siboutsen.

Associations

Harck was orphaned at a young age. Hendrick Harcksen, who lived in Warmenhuizen, was his guardian. He may have been Harck’s great-uncle. Harck also had an uncle Cornelis Cornelissen, apparently his maternal uncle.[108]

In New Netherland, Harck Siboutsen associated repeatedly with Sibout Claeszen, who witnessed the baptism of Harck Sijboutsen’s son Sijbaut in 1644[109] and witnessed the deeds for the sales of Harck’s house in 1643[110] and lot in 1655.[111] Like Harck, Sibout Claeszen was a carpenter.[112] Sibout Claeszen was originally from Hoorn, about fifteen miles east of Langedijk.[113] Sijbout Claeszen married in New Amsterdam as a single man in 1645.[114] He was thus a contemporary of Harck Siboutsen, and not his father. Without documentation, James Riker speculated that Sibout was “no doubt cousin-german to Harck Siboutsen.”[115] However, Sibout Claesen was the son of Claes Sibouts and Annitje Hendricks,[116] neither of whom share a patronymic with Harck’s parents. No evidence was found for a biological relationship between Harck Siboutsen and Sibout Claeszen, though a more distant relationship cannot be ruled out. Their association is explained by them being colleagues from the same area.

Another repeat associate is Abraham Rijcken, who was Harck Sijboutsen’s neighbor on Manhattan in 1652[117] and on Long Island in 1654.[118] Several of Herck’s children married children of Abraham Rijcken.[119] 

Additional Details

In 1625, Harck’s father made a provision in his will that his estate should not be divided among his children until the youngest turned eighteen.[120] However, in 1628, Harck’s older half-sister Aeriaen Sibouts and her husband sued the guardians of the younger children and requested the court to order the division of the estate.[121] The case was referred to arbiters.[122] Although the outcome was not recorded, they must have come to an agreement by 1631, when Aeriaen Sijbouts with her husband and the guardian of Harck and Pieter Sijbouts jointly sold land in Oudkarspel they had inherited from their father.[123] Anna and Cornelis Sibouts were no longer mentioned as heirs, suggesting they died young.
