De Veaux Ancestry Chart
DANIEL DE VEAUX, a young brother of Frederick, emigrated with his
elder brother, Nicholas, and arrived in New York in 1674 He was born about
1660, and married Hannah Frans in 1687, by whom he had children, Metje,
Carol (or Charles), b. 1692; Cornelius, Hendrick, b. 1698; 141 b. 1700; Jannetje
b. �; Daniel, b. 1705; Jacobus and Rachel (twins), b. 1708; William b. 1711;
and David, b. 1713.
It appears a remarkable fact that the brothers, Frederick and Daniel each had twins
alike (a boy and a girl), to which the same names were given, although Daniel�s
were born 30 years after Fredericks.
We find Daniel followed NichoIas soon after his removal to New Jersey, where
he remained but a short period no doubt, from
the fact that, after the death of his wife and the marriage of several of his children,
he removed up the North River, where he was found residing near Rhinebeck.
But few of the marriages can now be traced with any degree of certainty; the
records, however, show the following:
METJE, b. 1687; m. Cornelius.
CORNELIUS, b. 1694; m. Helena Hasbrouck; had children, John; b. 1721;
HELEN, b. 1725; Cornelius, b. 1729; and Daniel, b. 1732.
JOHN, b. 1719; m. Margaret Morres in 1743; had
John, Jr.,
Isaac b. 1746;
David, b. 1748;
William, b. 1750;
Rachel
It is, however, said that John had seven sons by two wives, who were in
the battle of Stillwater in 1777.
