THE VAN DUSEN FAMILY
Originally published in 1900 |
|
THE VAN DUSEN FAMILY.-The Van Dusens and Van Dusers are de-
scended from Abraham Pietersen Van Deusen, a miller by trade and a
native of Deusen in Holland, where he was born about 1602. He came to
New Amsterdam prior to 1641 with his wife, Tryntie Melchiors, and several children. In that year he was appointed one of the "twelve men" of the city, and in 1643 one of the "eight men." In 1657 he was admitted
to the rights of a burgher. His children were Levina, Peter, Abraham,
Isaac, Catharine, and Henry. Of these Isaac Abraham, Sr., was born in
Holland in 1634. He came over with his father and settled in New Amsterdam, where he married in 1659 Jannetie Jans, widow of Adam Van
Sandt, from Arnheim in Gelderland. He eventually removed to Albany,
N. Y., where his son, Abram Isaacsen Van Deusen, married, in 1682, Ann,
daughter of Zacharias Sickels. His son, Isaac Abrahamsen Van Deusen,
born at Albany in 1688, married, April 5, 1713, Ann Waldron, and had issue, among other children, Daniel, who married Lea Hertie and settled at
Tappan in 1735. John Bernard Van Dusen, probably a brother of Isaac's,
married a La Roe, and settled in Washington Township, Bergen County,
N. J. From these two brothers are descended the Van Dusens of Bergen
County.
