<p class="MsoNormal">Jan Franz Van Husum arrived in Amsterdam sometime between
October of 1634 and May of 1639. These two dates separate the Grote Mandrenke,
the Great Man Drowning flood and the departure the ship Den Harinck for America
with Jan and Volkje aboard. </p><p class="MsoNormal">During that time Jan and Franz lived on Tuinstraat.</p><p class="MsoNormal">It was the Dutch Golden Age, an
era of political, economic, and cultural greatness when the little nation
facing the North Sea ranked among the most powerful in the world, sending ships
to explore and settle the New World and bring back silks from exotic Japan. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirSvaPieZKLTuJUwDaZw4Q2raizdU0jl5vfVgQeq9OHBQt1kGsZcePTfxXtoD4g3fn65jn85IK3bBe22JEaqA0_VodcqsRedc92jkEXPA-OGDlIaZVPJwecEsTJUOuIbUTrJHJnwZFzUjn/s2048/amsterdam-google-earth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1233" data-original-width="2048" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirSvaPieZKLTuJUwDaZw4Q2raizdU0jl5vfVgQeq9OHBQt1kGsZcePTfxXtoD4g3fn65jn85IK3bBe22JEaqA0_VodcqsRedc92jkEXPA-OGDlIaZVPJwecEsTJUOuIbUTrJHJnwZFzUjn/w554-h335/amsterdam-google-earth.jpg" width="554" /></a></div>Tuinstraat, Amsterdam, Google Earth, 2021<br /><p></p><p> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Tuinstraat, Jordaan District <br /></h3><p class="MsoNormal">Tuinstraat, in Amsterdam's Jordaan district, lies between
Lijnbaansgracht and Prinsengracht, running roughly northeast, 500 meters long. Nearby
was the new Dutch Reformed Westerkirche (1620-1631) situated between the
Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht. Today, Tuinstraat is noted for its proximity to
the Anne Frank House on Prinsengracht. </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkaxvfv-RhDCkrQK-Hz_WrBuhjS7RTYiUwKRP2u-wkeYStBC8e5myO_E9S3QKf93p0fv6hOn3YRIEHc0HcefTzttAYZBmeU65oXAEURPDdGBafmEitubRa_8EETaKwWdje3WsBZpjx544d/s1318/amsterdam-map-1650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Amsterdam 1650 map" border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1318" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkaxvfv-RhDCkrQK-Hz_WrBuhjS7RTYiUwKRP2u-wkeYStBC8e5myO_E9S3QKf93p0fv6hOn3YRIEHc0HcefTzttAYZBmeU65oXAEURPDdGBafmEitubRa_8EETaKwWdje3WsBZpjx544d/w400-h244/amsterdam-map-1650.jpg" title="Amsterdam 1650 map" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZxEH7TexXuWqaJxi6CWu7L_EfdFGrj52RUMnSqXrqa5-FGM7PbsNxPhmixoBsPdtR_19BdyFYeICHrBiRAWM5YWKKKqnejkWT13Gc5KOjJHuLWVd7HMY7EwqLq4qIV7_kg4-Iq90goMWT/s1518/amsterdam-tuinstraat-map-1650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Amsterdam 1650 Tuinstraat, Jordaan District" border="0" data-original-height="905" data-original-width="1518" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZxEH7TexXuWqaJxi6CWu7L_EfdFGrj52RUMnSqXrqa5-FGM7PbsNxPhmixoBsPdtR_19BdyFYeICHrBiRAWM5YWKKKqnejkWT13Gc5KOjJHuLWVd7HMY7EwqLq4qIV7_kg4-Iq90goMWT/w400-h239/amsterdam-tuinstraat-map-1650.jpg" title="Amsterdam 1650 Tuinstraat, Jordaan District" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now considered central Amsterdam, then, in the 17th century, the
Jordaan District was new, reclaimed by windmills and canals from the soggy marshlands, a place for immigrants searching for low rents. Rembrandt
Van Rijn (1606-1609), moved to a house on Rozengracht when he could no longer
afford to live in the city center. Bloemgracht where Joan Blaeu (1596 –1673) and
his father had their bookshop is a few streets south. And not far away were the
great merchants’ new and opulent homes on the Herengracht Canal.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWoshYIO4OjNM_E77QsBV8hAbhlTJIEnFMocujuQnJOtANtOBQzNSsmpn-Mpjp3uCSRXwMo2wwvpJeDABkO8MR2NA4VDFSU1s3DanwT32vdTYOyo47VP9CLd4kv-8j_JayTRQ7BbCAbqzB/s1406/amsterdam-google-map-tuinstraat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="1406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWoshYIO4OjNM_E77QsBV8hAbhlTJIEnFMocujuQnJOtANtOBQzNSsmpn-Mpjp3uCSRXwMo2wwvpJeDABkO8MR2NA4VDFSU1s3DanwT32vdTYOyo47VP9CLd4kv-8j_JayTRQ7BbCAbqzB/s320/amsterdam-google-map-tuinstraat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the mid-1600s when Jan Franz Van Husum moved to
Tuinstraat along with Volkje Van Nordstrand, Amsterdam was lit by a series of
lanterns on every bridge and in front of every twelfth house. The Night Watchman,
famously painted by Rembrandt, patrolled the streets and canals with his lantern,
sword and rattle, with which to sound the alarm. Amsterdam had by now some 400
book shops and people were clamoring for books on travel, like those by Jacob
Cats, which added a touch of morality. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1688, almost 50 years after Jan and Volkje departed for
America, William of Orange and his wife Mary, sister of England’s King James,
would embark on a ship headed for England and a Glorious Revolution.</p>

The name is not an uncommon one, and suggests that at sometime in the past a distant ancestor brewed ale or some other intoxicating beverage.

<h3>
James Brewer (1818-1880) </h3>
High on the Flint Hills where waters to Hickory Creek and the Little Walnut River form lies the township of Hickory in Butler County.<br />
<br />
It was there that our James Brewer brought his wife and four children to in the 1870s. He settled on a claim on the south forks of Hickory Creek on the southwest corner of plat 14-28-7 of Hickory Township. Other families who arrived included the Comstocks, the Armstrongs, Bartholemews, and MacGinnises. The beginnings of a town were started with a general store at <a href="https://abandonedkansas.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/where-is-brownlow-kansas/" target="_blank"><b>Old Brownlow</b></a>, but that town has since disappeared. Further east at the edge of the long slow slope into Greenwood County is the town of Beaumont which began as a stagecoach stop and became a railroad hub with the coming of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1885. Our James Brewer would not see the coming of the railroad. He died in 1880, nor would he be around for the publication of the <a href="https://www.kansasmemory.org/item/223980/page/2" target="_blank">Walter McGinnis and I.C. Thomas <b>Atlas of Butler County</b></a> published the same year. <br />

Our James Brewer lived two months shy of his allotted time of 70 years and five years before the Santa Fe laid its tracks through Beaumont. His wife Margaret lived on to the age of 79, dying in 1904 at the age of 83. The mail came weekly by horseback from El Dorado. Otherwise it was a quiet life. Homesteaders farmed for a living and took their produce to El Dorado or Augusta.<br />

In 1871 a tornado blew through Butler County pausing to wreck havoc in Hickory Township. The Semishes who were newly arrived in their wagon were blown over but not hurt. Dr. MacGinnis' house, the only one then standing was blown away. In the fall of 1873, a prairie fire consumed all the dry grass and more in the township. Cattle and horse rustlers were afoot, but vigilantes soon put a stop to their bad ways. <br />
<br />
The Brewers were neighbors to John Finley Van Huss who also had a farm in Hickory Township. James and Margaret's youngest daughter married John, and they had four children, one of whom was named Fred. He in turn was father to James and Robert, who is my wife's father.<br />
<br />
The Brewer family including Josie is buried in beautiful Old Brownlow Cemetery. John Finley Van Huss is buried in the Latham Cemetery.<br />

<h3>
John Finley Van Huss</h3>
<h4>
Latham, Kansas 1909 </h4>
Big changes were afoot in Butler County Kansas in 1909.<br />
<br />
The Ford Model T automobile was making headway in Kansas, but it still shared the dirt roads with the horse and buggy. Telephone wires were strung from town to town, but party lines were still common and a telephone operator connected the call. Test wells were drilled for oil, but the big find was not to be had for a few years. One and two teacher schools dotted the county like wildflowers. Teddy Roosevelt was in his last year as president. Walter R. Stubbs was the Republican governor and he made Kansas dry.<br />
<br />
John Finley Van Huss had a farm near Latham, a wife name Josie, and five children, ages five to twenty.<br />
<br />
John Finley Van Huss was my wife's great grandfather, grandfather to Robert (Bob) Van Huss. He lived to be 80 years old. He was the youngest son of Valentine Worley Van Huss and Elizabeth Campbell. <br />
<br />
Born in 1859 in Carter County, Tennessee, John Finley came to Kansas in the 1870s with his parents in a wagon. He lost his mother in Johnson County, Kansas, before his father and older brothers took up homesteading in Butler County Kansas. Eventually, John took a farm near Latham, Kansas and married the neighbor's daughter, Josie Brewer.<br />
<br />
They had five children. The second, Fred Brewer VanHuss (1893-1972) was Bob's father.<br />

Volkje Jurrianse Nordstrand (1618 - 1703) </h3>
<br />
If Jan Franz Van Husum is the first direct American ancestor of all who bear the name Van Huss, Van Hoesen, Van Hooser, et al, then one should know the name of his wife, Volkje Jurrianse Nordstrand. Volkje meaning "little falcon", Jurrianse meaning daughter of Jurri (English, George), Nordstrand, the place from which she came.<br />
<br />
*[Volkje, pronounced like folkie, my interpretation of this name is little falcon, like the Latin "falco". Others might disagree. "Volk" means people, but "little people" seems stupid to me a a girl's name. One other possiblility is "wolf" from the "Proto-Slavic *vьlkъ, from Proto-Indo-European *wĺ̥kʷos," and that points us back to falcon, Frisisan "wikel" where the "w" is pronounced like a "v".]<br />
<br />
Of course no one knows what Volkje Jurrianse Nordstrand looked like. There are no photographs for she lived from 1618 until 1703. Nor are there portrait miniatures in gouache, watercolor, or enamel as a copper locket for Volkje was a simple farm girl from Nordstrand. There are no paintings that hung on the wall of she and her husband Jan Franz Van Husum.<br />

<br />
But we can still guess.<br />
<br />
She was Dutch or Frisian, not likely Danish, though that might not matter. Families formed tribes, tribes became nations, people migrated, inter-married much like they do today. The island of Nordstrand where she lived with her parents and sister was in the Duchy of Schleswig, politically part of Denmark, but only loosely so. It was settled by many who were Dutch, but in the small villages lived the Frisians who had lived in these islands since the time before Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus who would accommodate them and bring its young men in Roman armies. It is also quite likely that the Frisians were indistinguishable from the Angles and Saxons who invaded England from the fall of the Roman empire until the seventh century. That we know from the linguistic similarity of the Frisian language and Old English.<br />
<br />
Blonde hair or brown, blue eyes or brown, probably both types existed within the general population. Tall, medium, or short, thin or stout, anything is possible, so let us look to the old masters for help.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>The Milkmaid</b> by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, painted around 1658 when Volkje would have been 40 years old. By this time, Volkje and Jan had left Amsterdam where they lived after the flood of 1634 and sailed to New Holland and settled along the Hudson River in an estate belonging to Van Rensselaer family.<br />
<br />
Volkje and her husband Jan learned the bakery trade, so here is a modern interpretation of a young girl and her pancakes. <br />

<br />
Joyce Lindstom in her history of the family, <b><a href="http://users.zoominternet.net/~vanhoose/joyce.htm" target="_blank">VAN HOOSE VAN HOOSER VAN HUSS FAMILY IN AMERICA</a></b> has identified Jan Fransse Van Husum as the first ancestor of all the Van Hoosers, Van Husses, Van Hoesens, Van Hooesrs, Hoosers in America as well as some thirty variations of the surname.<br />
<br />
She explains that Jan was born in 1608 in the city of Husum on the Jutland Peninsula, in the Duchy of Schleswig, then part of Denmark. She goes on saying that Jan was not Dutch as most of us think. Neither was he German, for Husum and the once Duchy of Schleswig and Schleswig-Holstein now finds itself in Germany, even though not by much. He was a Schleswigan, under Danish rule.<br />
<br />
Joyce surmises that, "He spoke low German, probably with a Frisian or Danish dialect."<br />
<br />
We shall never rightly know if Joyce was correct. A DNA test of family members might give us some statistical evidence, but Joyce points out that living in Amsterdam, then New Holland and marriage certainly clouds the question. Then too, his wife, Volkje <span class="st">Jurrianse</span> Van Nordstrand was most likely Dutch. Her parents were farmers who settled on the island of Nordstrand. It was an island under the supervision of Dutch hydraulic engineer Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What about Danish?</h3>
<br />
In 1252, King Abel of Denmark took an army to Husum on account of the fact that the local population refused to pay taxes and recognize Danish authority. A battle took place on the bridge at Husum (Husembro) and King Abel was killed. Old history yes, but it was a long way to Copenhagen from Husum then and now.<br />

[There is no historically old image of King Abel's death, but we have an old sketch of<span style="font-style: italic;"> Count Willem II In Hoogwoud, Falls Through The Ice,</span> and killed by West Frisians in<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>1256.<span style="font-style: italic;"></span>]<br />
<br />
<h3>
Who are these Frisians Joyce talks about?</h3>
The Frisians are an ancient people whose existence goes back to Roman times. They inhabited the low lands and marshes along the North Sea coast from the Sheldt River in present day Belgium, along the coast of The Netherlands, and up the western coast of the Jutland Peninsula. These ‘barbarians’ chose to live on the border between land and sea, probably as a means of protection against the Romans and other tribes. To protected themselves against floods they built hills (Dutch and Frisian, <i>halligen</i>) buttressed by logs. Besides farming, they raised cattle and sheep, and no doubt engaged in trade and fishing on the sea. By the time of Caser Augustus, the Frisii seemed to have gathered around the Zuider Zee and east, just outside the reach of Roman authority which ended at the Rhine.<br />
<br />
The Frisii reach some form of accommodations with the Romans. Don't bother us, we won't bother you. Then seeing an opportunity for plunder, Frisians joined up as legionnaires to fight in the Roman army. Traces of the Frisian legionnaires have been found at the English towns of Bicester, Burgh-by-Sands, Carrawburgh, Cirencester, Glossop, Hexham, Manchester and Papcastle. <a href="https://www.frisiacoasttrail.com/single-post/2018/03/02/Frisian-mercenaries-in-the-Roman-Army" target="_blank">note 1</a><br />
<br />
The Roman Empire finally fell in the Fifth Century. The Frisians still lived along the coast. From the fifth century on, it seems the Frisians took part in a general
migration to Britain along with the Saxons and Angles. This fact is born
out linguistically, as English and the Frisian language are similar. By the seventh and eighth century the Kingdom of Frisia existed along the coast, succumbing for a time to Charlemagne, then battling Vikings, then regaining their independence.<br />
<br />
Frisia would fade in time as Holland blossomed. Today the Frisian dialect is spoken in a few areas near the island of Nordstrand and that is all.<br />

<br />
<br />
I suppose this leaves us with the adage, that history is written by the victors. Jan might have been Frisian or not. He was certainly Dutch (his descendants look Dutch, like those in this painting by Jan Van Husum's contemporary, Rembrandt), he migrated to Amsterdam after the Great Flood of 1634, married, and sailed to New Holland in 1639 where he began a new life as an American. <br />

<br />
In 1250, Abel killed his brother Eric and was made king. In 1252, Abel was told that the Frisians who lived along the North Sea coastline refused to pay taxes. Raising an army, King Abel marched to the sea where he met an opposing force of Frisians organized by Sicko Sjaerdema, who gave allegiance to William of Holland. King Abel's army was defeated at the bridge to Husem (Husembro) and it is reported that he was killed by <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Fb1IAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA625&lpg=PA625&dq=wheelwright+named+Henner&source=bl&ots=a2lsTUr-J7&sig=ACfU3U0YH-Ik7fzrr18ZIbNjKKlpufeX9w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjy1PbohfjiAhUBWa0KHccTAWEQ6AEwBHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=wheelwright%20named%20Henner&f=false" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><b>a wheelwright named Henner</b></a>.<br />

In 1634 a Great Flood struck the western coast of the Jutland Peninsula causing tens of thousands of deaths and making Husem a port city. This fact is revealed by mapmaker Georg Braun (1541 – 1622) who included a birds-eye view of Husem in his Civitates orbis terrarum (cities of the world).<br />

Today the river that divides Husum is more of a tidal estuary. The port is removed a mile to the west. The city center is a tourist destination with restaurants lining the river bank watching the tide come and go.<br />

The old bridge around which Husem grew is still there. One can sit and have a glass of wine or beer and think about the battle that took place on this old bridge more than 800 years ago.you are what you readhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17397887493073863245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637714386306363061.post-67742470019531989752019-06-01T06:58:00.000-07:002019-06-01T07:26:16.639-07:00From Husum to Helsinore<br />

<h3>
Husum to Helsinore</h3>
<br />
Today, the trip from Husum Germany to Helsinore Denmark takes 4 hours by car, longer if one goes by boat since one must travel north along the Jutland peninsula, past Fredrikshaven and on to the northern point of the island of Zealand. Here is Hamlet's imposing castle overlooking the sea where Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia are separated by a channel of water called Öresund (the Sound) which is no more than two and a half miles.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Hamlet </h4>
The closeness sets the political stage for Shakespeare’s play Hamlet in which the underlying fear of a Norwegian invasion is the backdrop for Hamlet’s conflict with his uncle, the new King of Denmark and the king’s wife, Hamlet’s mother.<br />
<br />
I mention this purely because Shakespeare’s play may give us insight into the life and times of the Danish people, and, our progenitor, Jan Franz Van Husum (Husum then Danish and the people a mixture of Danes, Dutch, and Frisians).
Too disturbing you say, too psychological, too royal for a common sailor like our Jan and his father Franz. Perhaps.<br />
<br />
Still, it demonstrates that our ancestors were like us, subject to human passions, to anger, to love, to jealousy and revenge. And life does not always turn out well.<br />

<h4>
<i> </i></h4>
<br />
A “<b><i>varensgezel</i></b>,” as Jan would later describe himself, is a sailor, a shipmate, a wayfaring journeyman. Such a sailor makes a brier appearance addressing Hamlet’s best friend Horatio:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Ere we were two days old at sea, a pirate of very warlike appointment gave us chase. Finding ourselves too slow of sail, we put on a compelled valour, and in the grapple I boarded them. On the instant they got clear of our ship; so I alone became their prisoner. They have dealt with me like thieves of mercy; but they knew what they did: I am to do a good turn for them.”</blockquote>
<br />
Scholars of Shakespeare have determined that Hamlet was written sometime between 1599 and 1602. This would be a few years before Jan’s birth in 1608 and at time when Jan’s father Franz was of a similar age to Hamlet himself.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Shakespeare speaks </h4>
<br />
We are all familiar with Hamlet’s soliloquy, “To be or not to be…” It dominates our understanding of the play, but there is much, much more that reveals the everyday thinking of the late 16th century and early 17th century Dane. I will give you two and suggest that you read the play.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Brevity is the soul of wit.” And, “Listen to many, speak to a few.”</blockquote>
<br />
And close with, “Good-night, sweet prince; and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”<br />

<br />
<h3>
Fort Orange, Renssalaerwyck</h3>
<br />
Renssalaerwyck was a feudal estate owned by Killiaen Van Rensselaer and his family. The Rensselaer family provided passage to Dutch immigrants to the plantation in exchange for work. The original settlement called Fort Orange was located at the juncture of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers in the area that now includes the capital city of Albany. As settlers arrived, a new settlement called Beverwyck was built outside Fort Orange. <br />
<br />
The settlers swore an oath of fealty to Renssalaer as follows:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I, [name]<name>, promise and swear that I shall be true and faithful to the noble Patroon and Co-directors, or those Commissioners and Council, subjecting myself to the good and faithful inhabitant or Burgher, without exciting any opposition, tumult, or noise; but on the contrary, as a loyal inhabitant, to maintain and support offensively and of the Colonie. And with reverence and fear of the Lord, and uplifting of both the first fingers of the right hand, I say — SO TRULY HELP ME GOD ALMIGHTY.</name><br />
<name></name></blockquote>
<name>
<br />
The industrious Jan Van Husum and his wife Volkje set about making a living with Jan working as a clerk for the estate. The couple are reported to have opened a bakery. It is also likely that Jan engaged in the lucrative beaver trade with the Indians. Eventually, Jan and Volkje were able to buy their own land as the Dutch Government recorded the following land grants in the <a href="http://sites.rootsweb.com/~nycoloni/nnlandex5.html" target="_blank"><b></b></a><b><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null">Books of Patents and Town Records</a></b>:<br />

A rose is a rose is a rose, or is it? </h3>
<br />
The question is often asked, what nationality were Jan Franz Van Husum and Volkje Jurians Nordstrand?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://users.zoominternet.net/~vanhoose/joyce.htm" target="_blank"><b>Joyce Lindstrom</b></a> in her biography of the progenitor of the Van Huss (Van Hoesen, Van Hooser, etc.) family notes:<br />
<br />
"Jan Fransse was born in Husum ... in 1608. Husum lies in the northern duchy of Schleswig, which was once an independent duchy ruled by princes of the old Roman empire. A ducal portion was ruled by the dukes of Holstein and a common portion was ruled jointly by the kings and dukes."<br />
<br />
<h4>
Danish </h4>
<br />
The self-same duke and King of Denmark was Christian IV, who has come down in history as a sagacious fellow who ruled his kingdom with a level of stability and wealth unmatched elsewhere in Europe. This is not saying much for a Europe in the midst of the Thirty Years War, Dutch struggles for independence, religious conflict, the plague, and the simple daily struggle to survive.<br />
<br />
<br />
This might settle the question of nationality in favor of the Danish, but not so quick.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Frisian </h4>
<br />
The western coastline of the Jutland peninsula where Husum and Nordstrand are found is historically part of North Frisia. The North Frisians settled on the coast and in the marshes on tiny islets called “halligs” shored up by wooden posts barely peeking out above Wadden Sea. Frisians are identified by dialect, speaking Low German, a dialect most closely identified with English. Thus, we may conclude that these were part of the Anglo Saxon raiders who invaded England between the 5th and 9th centuries and gave us their language.<br />

<br />
<br />
Again, not so quick.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Dutch </h4>
<br />
The Dutch, great hydrologists that they were, moved into Nordstrand. They battled with the sea, attempting to hold back the water with dycks and windmills. The task was given to Jan Leeghwater, who met his match with the Great Flood of 1634.<br />
<br />
Jan and Volkje did move to Amsterdam which counts for something. <br />
<h4>
Conclusion </h4>
<br />
Joyce concludes:<br />
<br />
"Jan Frantz Van Husum wasn't Dutch as many people have supposed.
Neither was he German. He was a Schleswigan subjected to Danish rule.
He spoke low German, probably with a Fisian or Danish dialect.
However, after three generations of living among the Dutch settlers
in New Netherlands, his descendants gradually became Dutch by
association. There were also more emigrants in New Netherlands who
were Danish, Frisian and Schleswigan than Dutch."<br />
<br />
To the mixture we can add the many German immigrants who arrived in America and added to the melting pot. In time Jan became Johannes, then John. <br />
<br />
In the end, we conclude that Jan Franz Van Husum was American. you are what you readhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17397887493073863245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637714386306363061.post-68024756845005318702019-05-24T08:35:00.000-07:002019-05-24T13:28:36.596-07:00Valentine "Felty" Van Hooser (1726 - 1781) Genealogy can be a veritable alphabet soup, sons are named after fathers or grandfathers, or uncles. Names appear and reappear quite frequently making it difficult to distinguish one apple from another, or in this case, Valentine Van Hooser from another.<br />
<br />
<h3>
New York </h3>
<br />
This Valentine Van Hooser (1726-1781) was born 16 Jan 1726 in Claverack, Albany, New York. If we are looking for namesakes, then Valentine takes his name from his
mother's father, Johann Valentin (Laux) Lauck. "Felty" which is often
attached to Valentine's name is but a nickname like Tom, Dick, or Harry.<br />
<br />
Valentine a fourth generation Van Huss, and direct descendant of Jan Franz Van Husum. As is often the case with children not the first born, they move on to other lands. So it was that Jan Franz Van Husum who settled in upstate New York near present day Albany would watch as later born children moved on. In the case of the Van Husums, Van Hoesens, Van Hoosers, and Van Huss, it was west to Pennsylvania, south to North Carolina, up to Virginia, then across the Smokey Mountains to Tennessee and beyond.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Pennsylvania </h3>
<br />
Our fourth generation Valentine finds himself in Tulpehocken (Land of the Turtles), Lancaster County (now Berks), Pennsylvania,
home to many German families like the Laux and the Zerbe that mixed with Valentine on the maternal side of the family, and interestingly, the ancestral home of Abraham Lincoln and the birthplace of Daniel Boone. Valentine came there in 1728 at the age of 2 with his parents and siblings. They settled among Germans who had first come in 1723 and squatted on land that by rights belonged to the Indians. Thus, when the Van Hooser family arrived, the dispute with the local Delawares had yet to be settled. Only in 1732, when Thomas Penn purchase of the land from the Indians, were things made right.<br />
<br />
Then, there was the matter of his marriage to Maria Barbara (Zerwe) Zerbe on 22 December 1746 in Tulpehocken. The couple had begun a family by the 5th of March 1750, when Valentine took out a land patent for 50 acre. <br />
<br />
<h3>
North Carolina </h3>
<br />
Perhaps the reason was the impending Indian troubles, or the growing number of German immigrants moving in, or just the need for change and new land, but, for whatever reason, the couple moves to Rowan County, North Carolina.They would travel by wagon drawn by horse. Their route was The Great Valley Road, aka the "Great Wagon Road," "Great Warriors' Path," "Valley Pike," "Carolina Road," or "Trading Path" which forked at Big Lick Virginia (Roanoke) and took our travelers south to Salisbury North Carolina where they found land.<br />
<br />
North Carolina had its own Indian troubles and then there was the matter of the Regulators, who were incensed at paying taxes to absent British "landowners". The farmers "rebellion" against British authority culminated with the <b>Battle of Alamance</b> in 1771, which the Regulators lost. Many of the farmers who had taken up arms then fled to the hills of Tennessee or Virginia.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Virginia </h3>
<br />
This would explain the strange case of <b>McKenney vs. Preston</b>--O. S. 308; N. S. 110, Chancery Court, <a href="https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Transcript:Campbell_entries_in_Chalkley%27s_Chronicles%2C_Vol_2" target="_blank"><b>Chalkley's Chronicles, Vol 2,</b></a> Court records of Augusta Virginia, page 228.<br />
<br />
Thomas Beelor being deposed remembers: "...[The] family Hooser or Van Hooser, as they were called, ... settled on North Fork of Clinch near Flat Lick in 1775. The oldest Van Hooser (deponent understood from his father) made the upper improvement, and the old man's son John was the next oldest man and made an improvement near the old man."<br />
<br />
Various sources state that Valentine, 51 years old, died at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. Valentine's name is not included among those listed by the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/york/learn/historyculture/american-casualties-at-yorktown.htm" target="_blank">Daughters of the American Revolution</a>, but there is a note that the list is not complete.<br />

<br />
We know him by no other name than Franz, father to Jan Franz Van Husum (the first Van Huss, Van Hoesen to come to America). He possessed no last name. None was needed and if further distinction was required, he might be addressed as Blackbeard, or Red Franz or Tall Franz, or whatever distinguishing characteristic he might have possessed.<br />
<br />
He was of the late 16th century (Jan was born in 1608) and was likely a seaman, for two reasons: first, this was the primary occupation of those living along the North Sea coast and second, his son was also a "sea-going" man.<br />
<br />
We know that his name is Franz because of the marriage certificate which gives Jan's first name, his father's name Franz, and his place of origin, Van Husum. We do not know if he was Dutch or Frisian or Danish. Modern DNA tests might answer this question with some statistical probability. If we go simply by place of origin, then we would say that he was Danish or at least a subject of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein. Then again, the ancient North Frisians had inhabited the coastline of the Jutland Peninsula for millennia. The Dutch also have a claim on our Franz, for the name screams Dutch, but that is not to say that the Danish and the Frisians did not use similar names. Moreover, it was the Dutch who came to the island of Nordstrand and with their technical know-how, attempted, poorly as it turned out, to reclaim the land from the fierce North Sea.<br />
<br />
What he looked like is anyone's guess, but we can imagine that he might have been a character out of Isack van Ostade painting, <b>Workmen before the Inn</b>, 1645, National Gallery of Art.<br />

On the last day of the last year of her life on Nordstrand, Volkje and her sister Annetje would have gone about their daily tasks, rising to feed the chickens, tend the ducks, milk the cows, wash the clothes, prepare and cook the food. In 1634 a
terrific gale hit the island of Nordstrand, causing the sea to break the dykes, flood the island and destroy churches, farms, and homes with great loss of life. Sixteen year old Volkje and her older sister Annetje are the only two in her family who are known to have survived.<br />
<br />
We find her, five years later in Amsterdam, marrying Jan Franz Van Husum (Husem), and ready to depart for the New World and New Holland for a new life.<br />

Frisian is a Dutch dialect spoken by a Dutch minority. They were recognized as far back as Roman times and they inhabited the coastline of Holland and the Jutland Peninsula. Frisia was comprised of West and East Friesland and North Friesland, the area from which Jan and Volkje came. There has been much discussion on whether the name Van Huss and Van Hoesen is Dutch or Frisian. The question can not be answered clearly. Husum and Nordstrand where the two came from was once upon a time Danish, then part of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, but in the main, the inhabitants were culturally Dutch.<br />
<br />
Historically, it is important to know that the nation state of the
Netherlands only came into being in 1596 when the kings of France and
England arranged a treaty with the Republic of the United Netherlands,
giving the fledgling state international recognition. The Kingdom of
Spain continued to wage war on the Dutch until 1609 when they too
recognized Dutch independence. The North Friesland coast where Jan Fanz
Van Husum originated was for the most part a "vast swampy moor." Husum
was a seaport and it is likely that Jan, who was a sailor, sailed into
the North Atlantic to catch cod. Because of its remoteness from
Amsterdam and the major Dutch cities, Husum and the island of Nordstrand
escaped the fighting between the Spanish and the Dutch. Dutch engineers
had come to the island of Nordstrand to battle the sea and reclaim the
land.<br />
<br />
It was not a battle they could win.<br />

I often wonder what thoughts they had, what they said to each other, what they felt. They were, after all, no different than you or I, touched by human emotions.<br />
<br />
His name was Jan, nothing more. Like all the Biblical characters, like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, a first name was enough.<br />
<br />
He was a 30 year old sailor from Husum.<br />
<br />
Volkje was a 20 year old farm girl from Nordstrand, brought together by a terrible storm that took thousands of lives. Her parents killed in the deluge, his occupation as a sailor likely ended with the flooding of Husum, a seaport along the tidal flats and salt marshes of Wadden Sea. Like hundreds, if not thousands, of survivors, making their way to Amsterdam. Then offered a chance to settle in the New World.<br />
<br />
Married in
Amsterdam's Nieue Kirche, where for the first he took the name Jan Van Husum. They then prepared to set sail across the Atlantic to
New Amsterdam and a new life. She would be his guiding life, the mother
of his children, the keeper of the house. Together they would share
life's journey.<br />
<br />
What thoughts had they, we can only imagine...<br />
<br />
<h3>
Dear Lyltsen </h3>
<blockquote>
<b>Dear Lyltsen, when I am with thee</b><br />
<b>(My light, my flame, my sun, my eye)</b><br />
<b>As dark as deep as night may be</b><br />
<b>When through the sky stars steer their course</b><br />
<b>No matter how dark it may be</b><br />
<b>It is light as the daylight sun for me.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But when your flare flares not unto me,</b><br />
<b>I have no star to steer my turning;</b><br />
<b>I move then blind as a stick, a stone,</b><br />
<b>Though mid-day sun is burning.</b><br />
<b>What use if the sun in my eyes is bright?</b><br />
<b>Lylts is all, my dark, my light.</b></blockquote>
<b>Gysbert Japicx (b. 1603)</b><br />
<br />
Lyltsen (the diminutive and enduring way of referring to Lylt), possibly Lilith. In Jewish mythology, Lilith refers to a demon in the night. Volkje (Volkie and its variants) is the diminutive of the Dutch word for falcon.<br />
<br />
Gysbert Japicx (also Japiks; 1603–66) was a 17th century Dutch poet who wrote in Latin as well as the Frisian dialect, <a href="https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/japi001frie02_01/japi001frie02_01_0018.php" target="_blank"><b><i>Friesche Rymlerye</i></b> (1668; “Frisian Verse”)</a>. Japicx or Japiks spoke of his beloved Lylt in several verses. Whether she was real or just a vision is uncertain.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like to imagine that he came to her rescue, rowing out to
sea in a small fishing boat, his sturdy arms pulling the oars against the
breaking waves, spotting Volkie and her sister floating in the churning waters,
clinging to a fallen tree or a piece of a house, destroyed by the storm.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jan</span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His name was Jan. He lived in coastal port called Husum. Brown eyes, a sharp nose, and a chin that has that distinctive cleft. He is of average height, but above-average in intelligence, for he is a survivor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He was a seafaring man, like many from the North Frisian coast
who sailed the North Sea bringing in mackerel that was salted and sold in marketplace
in cities everywhere in Holland. Mackerel are a fast predatory fish, closely related to tuna. They have no swim bladder which means they can change direction rapidly and dive quickly. A successful sailor must keep his wits about him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our hero was just 26.</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Volkje </span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Volkie, our heroine,
just 18. She and her sister Annetje, Jurriens lived with their parents on land reclaimed
from the sea. It was called Nordstrand, “strand” meaning sand or beach. It was
located in Wadden Sea, a small bit of the much larger North Sea. The creative Dutch
had built dikes and seawalls to contain the ocean’s fury and windmills to pump
out the salt water from the soil. Out of this small speck of sand several
communities were built. Pellwurm, Gaikebull, Rungeholt, and so on, each with
its church and scattering of farms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my mind’s eye, our hero was alone in his boat. He wore a
blue waistcoat and gray pantaloons, cut off at the knee, for freedom of
movement and because, if thrown into the sea, short pant legs would allow him
to float to the surface rather than being dragged down by water-soaked
clothing. Every sailor wore a hat or a cap, and our hero’s was a tri-corner
hat, or a sailor’s cap with a bill, or a simple knit stocking to keep out the
cold and the wind. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">The Storm</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sea was full of white caps, the wind blew to shore,
making the journey more difficult for Jan was the fact that the sea was also
full of bits and pieces of homes and churches broke apart by the storm. And
yet, he rowed on, boat against the tide, rowing ceaselessly in the hope of
finding her against all odds. Find her he did, and so the story continues. Or,
perhaps, he was not looking for Volkjie, perhaps it was circumstance and coincidence
that brought them together. Divine intervention in the midst of destruction and
loss of life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Volkjie and her sister had clung to the tree for hours,
through the night, when the storm had done its worst, rising to a height of 15
meters and sweeping over the land until the north coast was reclaimed by the
sea. It is estimated that upwards of 15,000 people lost their lives that night.
A fortunate few fled to the highest spot on the island of Nordstrand where they
where joined other refugees fleeing the rising waters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The recollection of one survivor went like this:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“In the evening a great storm and bad weather rose from the
southwest out of the sea. ... The wind began to blow so hard that no sleep could
touch our eyes. When we had been lying in bed for about an hour my son said to
me, 'Father, I feel water dripping into my face'. The waves were rising up at
the sea dike and onto the roof of the house. It was a very frightening sound.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those in the lower lying areas were less fortunate and houses
were carried away by the surging waters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The storm’s destructive force was compounded by its timing,
coming as darkness settled in and night came.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“...at six o'clock at night the Lord God began to fulminate
with wind and rain from the east, at seven He turned the wind to the southwest
and let it blow so strong that hardly any man could walk or stand, at eight and
nine all dikes were already smitten... The Lord God [sent] thunder, rain, hail
lightning and such a powerful wind that the Earth's foundation was shaken... at
ten o'clock everything was over.”</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rescue </span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the pitch black of night</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, rescue was impossible</span>. So, it
was that Jan set our at break of day, at first light. So it was that in the
gray morning and the howl of the wind, he found Volkjie and her sister,
desperately clinging to a tree. Their parents were gone, and their despair was
great. We do not even know if they could swim, but I imagine that a Dutch girl
who grew up along the Wadden Sea collecting the eggs of gulls and terns, in the
marshes had learned to fend for herself when a wave caught her by surprise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I imagine few words were spoken, as Jan hauled first one
girl in the boat then the other. Exhausted they were and grateful to God for
their salvation. The girls’ clothing was soaked in brine, the skirt and bodice,
once white, now dark brown, the color of mud that mixed with sea. Their brown
hair hung straight, their skin white and red, chaffed by the cold water and the
tree bark that they clung to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With foresight, Jan brought fresh water and
bread, and dry blankets. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once fed and warmed, the trio made the journey back to
Husum. </span></div>

<h2>
Introduction </h2>
<br />
Our cast of characters came by ship from Holland to America, from Amsterdam to Fort Orange, up the Hudson River. They had signed on for four years as indentured farmers and laborers, to work for the wealthy Dutchman, Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, lord of the manor, in a settlement called Rensselaerswyck.<br />
<br />
The story could be titled - What becomes of an old sea captain? And it goes something like this.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Being a blasphemer, a street-scold, a murderer, a contemner of laws and justice, and disturber of the peace, the bakker, Willem Juriaensz is hereby banished, to leave by the first vessel ... </blockquote>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
The Baker, Willem Juriaensz </h3>
<br />
Our first character is Willem Juriaensz (Jeuriaens), commonly called Willem the Baker (Bakker). Once upon a time, Capitaijn, sea captain in 1646 and again in 1650, and likely before. Arriving in the colony in 1638, he worked for Lord Van Rensselaer as a baker, but miscreant that he was, beginning in 1644, sentenced to banishment for misdeeds and then reprieved. <br />
<br />
<h3>
The Chicken Keeper, Jochem Becker</h3>
In 1644, Jochem Becker accused the old captain of stealing his hens.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Witness, Jacob Willemz</h3>
Jacob Willemz took up the captain's side in this story, saying,<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"What do you mean? They are the old captain's hens!" </blockquote>
<br />
This he said from the safety of his house. Becker called to Willemz to come out. Willemz wisely refused; Becker rushed in, giving him a sound beating, and grabbing him by the throat, calling him an "old dog".<br />
<br />
Defending himself as best that an old dog could, Willemz fought back and called Becker "a dog and a son of a bitch".<br />
<br />
The question of whether anyone stole the Becker's chickens, was not, at this time, a question for the court. Nor do we know the outcome of this case, or how the court dealt with the baker.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Once more</h3>
<br />
In 1647, the old captain was sentenced to banishment to "the Manhattans" for attacking with a knife and murdering one, de Hooges (Antony de Hooges, business manager of Rensselaer's colony.).<br />
<br />
<h3>
Enter the picture Jan Franz Van Husum, aka Jan Van Hoesen</h3>
<br />
Reprieved, the captain struck up a relationship with Jan van Hoesen, who saw the merit in learning the skill of the baker. So, they entered into a contract dated January 30, 1650 allowing the old captain to live on Van Hoesen's property in exchange for lessons in baking, and a donut or two.<br />
<br />
A captain takes no orders.<br />
<br />
By November of 1651, the old captain (now 72 years of age) refused to bake, and in consequence, the court gave Jan van Hoesen "permission to occupy the erf" (lot, or bakery) on the condition that the Old Man could live in the adjoining house "ofte de gelegenheijt," as long as he lived.<br />
<br />
We must assume that Jan and his wife Volkje had learned the trade by now, and were busy selling bread and donuts to the other settlers and to the Indians in trade for beaver pelts.<br />
<br />
Presumably, Jan and Volkje tolerated the old captain since we do not see Captain Willem Juriaensz appearing in court again. And Jan and Volkje profited from the captain, earning money enough from the bakery to purchase land from the Indians, but that is another story.<br />

<br />
On the Jutland Peninsula on the coast of the North Sea, once part of Nordfriesland, traditionally North Frisia, once part of Schleswig-Holstein, now the city of Husum (North Frisian: Hüsem) is German, the capital of the Kreis District.
<br />
<h2>
How Husum got its name</h2>
<h3>
Bestimmt! </h3>
I am speaking with a native of Holland. I tell him my wife's name is Van Huss. He says, sounds German. No, I say, she is Dutch from the German city of Husum, once part of North Frisia. He4 explains that there are several cities in Holland with variations on the word "hus".<br />
<br />
And this is how it came to be.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time, Holland was farmland and farmers, who got together to talk, spoke of the isolated settlements with a few houses where the cattle and wheat was brought to sell. These "houses" became the market. In time other houses were built and the tiny settlements became larger, but the farmers still refereed to the place as "hus".<br />
<br />
Bestimmt!<br />
<br />
We both agree that is a logical explanation of how Husum got its name, but there is more.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Husum</h3>
<br />
Before the name Husum was written down, someone built a house next to a bridge, a few miles inland from the Wadden Sea, where dry land meets the tidal flats and salt marshes. It is good land. Farmers can raise wheat and cattle, along the coast, there are countless geese and shore birds, and access to the sea and the fish that swim in the sea.<br />
<br />
In good weather it is a good life. Theodor Storm, the 19th century author from Husum, gave the area this description:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
By the grey shore and the grey sea where the fog lies heavy all year long, where the swamping seas come.
</blockquote>
<br />
Our legendary figure thought he and his family would be safe from the storms, but he was wrong, and it must have happened many times, the storm and the sea surging over the land and then retreating back to sea.<br />
<br />
This house was built well. It withstood the storms.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
House, hus, huis, haus at Husembro</h3>
<br />
The foundation was made of stone to prevent settling and keep out the rats, but because stone was scarce, the main part of the house was built of logs or lumber milled from the trees with a thatched roof to keep out the rain during the long, chilly, windy, and mostly cloudy winters. As is still the custom in a few such houses, the barn were the precious cattle were kept was attached to the house, so as to protect the cattle but also to keep the house warm.<br />
<br />
Along the coastline, farmers raised crops and cattle and geese. The coastline was dotted with small fishing villages that fished the North Sea for cod and other fish. And when there was a surplus of these items, the farmers and villagers took their crops and cattle and geese and fish south to the larger cities like Amsterdam where they could be traded for money and necessaries.<br />
<br />
Our legendary house stood for many years. Locals would have referred to it as the house by the bridge. And when they spoke in their native languages, Danish, Dutch, German and Frisian, they would have said Hus, Huis, Haus, and Hus. The pastor at the church who wrote in Latin would have changed its spelling to Husem or Husum.<br />
<br />
<h3>
King Abel comes to Husembro </h3>
Let us move on now and speak of the first time that history records the name of Husum.<br />
<br />
In 1252, it is recorded that King Abel of Denmark lead an army to the coast of the Wadden Sea to impose taxes on the stubborn and independent Frisians who farmed and fished and lived there. Near the bridge by an ancient house, an arrow struck the unlucky king and he died. His death might have been God’s revenge for it is hinted at in the historical records that Abel murdered his brother King Erik Ploughpenny to obtain the throne.
History records the place as “husembro” (the house by the bridge).<br />
<br />
Now, return again to the history books where it is written that in 1362 a disastrous storm tide, know thereafter as the "Grote Mandrenke," (Great Man Drowning) surged along the coastline, flooded Husum, and carved out an inland harbor. This event put Husum on the map. A seaport developed, businesses came, and houses grew up around the bridge and the house that once stood alone.<br />

<h3>
Abel, Duke of Schleswig and King of Denmark</h3>
<br />
He was the son of Valdemar II and brother to Eric IV. In 1250, Eric was murdered while a guest at Duke Abel's residence at Schleswig. Abel took his Eric’s throne after swearing an oath he had nothing to do with the death.<br />
<br />
Abel ruled for a year and a half. Hearing that the peasants in Frisia, led by Sicko Sjaerdema, refused to pay the tax levy, he led a punitive expedition and was killed by a wheelwright named Henner on Husum Bridge. <br />
<br />
People said, "Abel af navn, Kain af gavn" Abel by name, Cain by claim.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Jan Franz Van Husum</h3>
<br />
Jan was born in 1608. We may assume that for most of his life, he simply went by the name of Jan, or if further clarification was necessary, Jan, son of Franz. Jancalled himself as a seafaring man. We do not know for certain what fish he caught, but we can guess. As early as 1610, there were reports of whales off the coast of Spitsbergen. Russians, Basque, French, English, and Dutch ships all vied for the trade. English and Dutch ships were often made up of North Frisians, who were known for their skills at sea.<br />
<br />
The whale they hunted for was the bowhead whale, one that yielded large quantities of oil and baleen.<br />
<br />
But this is idle thought, what we do know is this. <br />
<br />
In 1634, a devastating flood, known as the second <b><i>Grote Mandränke</i></b> struck the Frisian coast, destroying the island of Nordstrand and much of Husum. After the flood, Jan would depart for Amsterdam. We know that he married his wife Volkjie there. She too was caught up in the devastaition of the flood, as she lived on the island of Nordstrand with her parents and sister.<br />
<br />
Once married, Jan and Volkjie sailed for America.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Theodor Storm</h3>
<br />
Theodor Storm, a 19th century writer who called Husum, “the grey town by the sea.”<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Die Stadt (1851)</b><br />
<br />
Am grauen Strand, am grauen Meer
Und seitab liegt die Stadt;
Der Nebel drückt die Dächer schwer,
Und durch die Stille braust das Meer,
Eintönig um die Stadt.<br />
<br />
On the grey sand, on the grey sea,
Besides which lies the city,
Press the mists heavy on the roofs,
And in the stillness the sea roars,
With one sound around tow.

Spellings differ by language. The Reverend Stoever was German and chose to spell the name "Von Huss" instead of Van Huss or Vanhooser. Maria Barbara went by her middle name Barbara, a practice of trying to trick the devil. The last name "Zerwe" instead of "Zerbe" suggests that the name was pronounces like the French Servier, a name that appears on the French side of the border. Valentine was also variously called Velten and Felty. My advice to those looking up genealogy is to try various spellings.] </b><br />

<h2>
The Wedding </h2>
Valentine Von Huss and Maria Barbara Zerwe were not well-to-do, like Sir
William Pepperrell and his family. Most
likely, the wedding was a simple affair with family and friends.<br />
<br />
It is three days before Christmas, 1746, and the wedding day.<br />
<br />
Let us join the families of Valentine Von Huss and Barbara and Catrina
Zerwe and John George Meyer as they make their way to the tiny church at Tulpehocken for
a double wedding, to be presided over by the Reverend Casper Stoever, America's first ordained Evangelical German Lutheran Minister. <br />

<a href="https://archive.org/details/recordsofrevjohn01stoe" target="_blank">Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever : baptismal and marriage, 1730-1779 (page 61)</a> </h3>
<br />
The ceremony took place at Christ Little Lutheran Church in Tulpehocken, Pennsylvania. It was officiated by the Reverend Casper Stoever. Our minister was, like the bride's family, German, both from the Palatinate Region, and that is probably why the groom's name appears as "Von" rather "Van". The date recorded is December 22nd, 1746. The names: Valentine Von Huss and Maria Barbara Zerwe
(Zerbe). <br />
<br />
<h3>
Two sisters are wed</h3>
<br />
Two weddings took place that day. The other being the wedding of Barbara's sister Catrina to John George Meyer.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Zerbe Family</h3>
<br />
Barbara’s father was Johannes Jacob Zerbe, and her mother, Maria Catherine Leick (Lauk). Separatel;y, they came to America sometime prior to 1718, arriving in an English ship. They left Germany's Palatinate Region because of recurring French invasions, and famine came with war. With promises of religious freedom, they sailed up the Hudson River arriving at New York's Livingston Manor.<br />
<br />
[The commercially and mercenary minded English transported Palatinate Protestants to the British-American
colonies out of a need for pine tar. Pine pitch some called it, a
necessary naval store the British desperately needed to keep their ships
afloat.] <br />
<br />
There they met and married, and all their children were born there (1718 until 1725). <br />
<br />
<h4>
Indentured Servants</h4>
<br />
The couple endured seven year at East Camp, Livingston Manor, a period that fits nicely with the idea that they signed emigration contracts as indenture servants. These contracts provided that "seven years after they had forty acres a head given to them.” "East Camp" and "West Camp" on opposite sides of the Hudson River were established residences for the new colonists.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Pennsylvania and Land </h4>
<br />
There is no record that Jacob and Catherine received their 40 acres a head of the more than 160,000 acres that then made up Livingston Manor. Instead they joined dozens of other Zerwes who settled in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvana and the area around Tulpehocken Creek. <br />
<br />
Coincidentally they became neighbors of the family of Daniel Boone. Indeed the Lutherans who built their church at Tulpehocken had by 1727 petitioned the officials in Philadelphia "for a road to the high road at the Quaker Meeting House near Boone's Mill at Oley."<br />

<h3>
What she looked like </h3>
<br />
<br />
She was little she was pert, and had soft grey eyes the
color of the winter sky. In the mornings in the mudflats along the banks
of the Wadden Sea, she could be found gathering eggs from the nests of
the waders, geese, ducks and gulls that nest in the marshes. From time
to time, she would stop to watch the grey seals swimming in the dark
blue-green water or resting on the sand, but more often she could be
seen gazing into the grey sky watching the falcon soaring overhead and
plummeting to earth in pursuit of their prey.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The painting </h3>
<br />
The painting is signed "IVMeer" but not dated. It is estimated to have been painted around 1665.<br />
<br />
That is all wrong, if one is to suppose that Volkje was the subject of the painting, <b>The Girl with the Pearl Earing</b> by Johannes Vermeer. First, Volkje spent time in Amsterdam, living on Tuinstraat, close to the home and studio of the great painter Rembrandt von Rijn. Vermeer, the painter, lived out his life in the Dutch city of Delft. Lastly, we can guess that Volkje was born in the year 1615, or thereabouts, making her too old for the young girl in the painting.<br />

What moves us? </h2>
Our reasons for moving are many. A sense of adventure, fleeing the law, a divorce, a marriage, the hope of a new beginning, our ancestors reasons for moving are varied.<br />
<br />
In tracking the Van Huss family tree, I have discovered that the progenitor, Jan Franz Van Husum and his wife Volkje left North Friesland because of the terrible flood of 1632, a flood that killed tens of thousands, and destroyed the island of Nordstrand where Volkjie lived with her sister and parents. Jan was a sea-going man who lived in the nearby port of Husum.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the two made their way to Amsterdam, and in 1642, sailed on a ship to New Holland, and up the Hudson to the area that would one day encompass the city of Albany. Generations lived in New York, then made their way to Pennsylvania, lured by the promise of land, and from there to North Carolina and Virginia, again lured by the promise of new land.<br />
<br />
One Valentine Felty Van Huss crossed the Appalachian Mountains and settled in Carter County, Tennessee, though at the time, it was still part of Virginia. Valentine had a son similarly named, and he had a son named Mattias. And he had a son named Valentine Worley Van Huss, raised by a much loved step mother, Lavinia Dugger.<br />
<br />
It was this Van Huss who crossed the wide prairie with his sons and came to Kansas to eventually settle Butler County.<br />
<br />
This post is a loose end.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Valentine Worley Van Huss </h3>
<br />
Valentine Worley Van Huss was the only child of Mathias Van Huss and Elizabeth Worley, who died giving birth. Mathias remarried and had several children with his new wife Lavina Dugger. This family lived in Elizabethton, Tennessee.<br />
<br />
In the 1880's Valentine Worley Van Huss, his wife Lucinda and several children Tennessee for Kansas. Valentine and Lucinda and his wife Lucinda first lived near Stilwell in Johnson County, Kansas. Lucinda died there as she is buried in the Aubrey cemetery. (On Highway 69 south of Overland Park, take the 191st street exit, go east a short distance.)<br />

It might have rivaled the later feud of the Hatfields and McCoys, if Jan and Volkje had not wisely purchased land in 1662 at Claverack and moved on.<br />
<br />
This feud took up much of the court's time during the years 1652 and 1653. Fists were thrown, slanders spoken, tempers frayed as the two couples went at each other. Certainly one of the most annoying acts by the Becker's had to be the construction of a pigsty adjacent to the entrance of the Van Hoesem lot. Becker would counter that Van Hoesem and his wife threw hot embers against clapboard of his house in an attempt to burn it down.<br />
<br />
The court attempted to keep the peace, but to little avail as the ongoing court meetings reveal. <br />
<br />
I am going through the court meeting now. I find them an interesting insight into early life in Beverwyck and highly recommend them.<br />
<br />
Then I stumbled across a map of <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Rensselaerswyck_Map_Bleeker_Downsampled.png" target="_blank">Rennsalaerwick Manor dated 1762</a> which surrounded the independent city of the Beverwyck. And, though it is one hundred years later, one can find a Milburn Van Hoesen living on a lot adjacent to Andries Becker and Albartus Becker.<br />

Above is a portion of the map. The settlements on lots numbered as 131, 132, and 133 belong to Albartus Becker, Areanlie Becker, and Milburn Van Hoesen. As the Hudson River flows from the north to the south, the map should be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to get a true perspective. The highlighted property is south of the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers, and on the west side.<br />
<br />
Beverwyck, later Albany, was a settlement outside of Fort Orange which thrived on trade with the Indians for beaver pelt. It was established independent of the larger colony of Rennsalaerwyck. In 1652, the Dutch authorities, recognizing the need to administer Beverwyck established a court system and minutes were kept documenting the day to day lives of the citizens of Beverwyck. In 1664, Dutch rule ended when four British frigates sailed into the port of New Amsterdam unopposed.<br />

<h3>
1634</h3>
<br />
<br />
Nordstrand, the home of Volkje Jurriaens, was once a much larger island encompassing many villages and thousands of people. In 1634 a great flood (Burchardi) swept the island destroying many of the villages and killing thousands.<br />
<br />
Nordstrand sits off the western coast of the Jutland peninsula, near the port of Husum. Historically, it and the other islands and marshes in the area were called Uthlande (Utlande). They were identified as such because the islands and marches were inhabited by Frisians, a distinct ethnic group.<br />
<br />
The island and city are located in the province of Schleswig, which can be imagined as that slice of the southern Jutland peninsula that separates Denmark from Germany. Schleswig has always been a melting pot of Danes, Germans, and Frisians. Today, Schleswig is divided between Germany and Denmark, Germany possessing both Nordstrand and Husum.<br />
<br />
So, the question arises, "Who do the inhabitants of Nordstrand come from - Vikings, Danes, Saxons, Jutes, Frisian or Dutch?"<br />
<br />
<h3>
Roman History </h3>
<br />
The Eider River is the longest river in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Roman history places the Jute tribe to the north of the Eider River, Angles to the south, with Saxons in territory adjoining the Angles.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Middle Ages </h3>
<br />
During the Middle Ages, the population was a mixture of Danes, Saxons, and Northern Frisians. The Frisians inhabited the coastal areas. From the 8th to 13th centuries, Vikings in their longboats ranged throughout Europe. King Canute of Denmark even launched a successful invasion of England in 1016.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Schleswig</h3>
<br />
Schleswig is both a city and province in Germany. The Duchy of Schleswig appears as a political entity sometime around the 12th century. <br />

The detail of the map of Jutland highlights the island of Nordstrand, identified as De Strant and neighboring Husum (Husem). For reference, the Eider River flows to the south of Nordstrand and Husum. The river is the dividing line between Schleswig and Holstein, a province often associated with Schleswig.<br />
<br />
The map of 1588 identifies at least 18 small villages on the island. Johannes Blaeu's later map of 1688 reveals the damage to the island, the flood destroying all but four of the villages, leaving only the villages of Pilworm (Pellwurm), Gpell, Gaickebull and Odenbull.<br />
<br />
The question remains as to whether Jan Franz Van Husum and Volkje Jurriaens were Dutch or Frisian. That question probably can't be answered. But what is known is that the Frisian dialect was spoken throughout Nordstrand before the flood. Afterwards, the dialect was kept intact only on the small remaining island of Pellwurm where industrious farmers quickly rebuilt the dikes after the flood. <br />

Volkje and Annetje Jurriaens are both identified in later documents as coming from Nordstrand. What they or their parents did is lost to history, but reference is made to the fact that their parents died in the flood of 1634. In 1639, Volkje married Jan Franz Van Husum. Je is identified as coming from the neighboring town of Husum, but again there is little detail, other than a reference to his occupation as seafaring man in his marriage certificate to Volkje. A month after thier marriage, they sailed across the Atlantic in the ship Den Harinck, arriving in the port of New Amsterdam. Annetje also married and emigrated to the New Netherlands.<br />

[<b>Note about Spellings</b>. The spelling of names vary for many reasons. Language differences account for many of the differences. Maps may contain Latin words, a marriage license might be in Dutch, and German, and Flemish might also enter into the equation. Then there is the lack of a uniform code of spelling that existed at the time. The first English dictionary was drafted in 1604, and Samuel Johnson's more famous Dictionary was not published until 1755.

Today, Husum (North Frisian: Hüsem) is a port city, located in Nordfriesland in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Located along the North Frisian coast, the town, through the centuries has belonged to different nations and principalities, including Denmark, Germany, Schleswig, and Schleswig-Holstein. The peninsula on which Husum sits is called Jutland. In 1608, the city was part of the Duchy of Holstein.<br />

<b>Origin of the name "Husum"</b><br />
<br />
The name of the town Husum is first mentioned in history in 1252, for it was at Husumbro (<i>Husum bro</i>, literally, the "bridge between houses") that King Abel of Denmark met his death on the bridge in Husum trying to subdue a revolt by Frisian peasants who refused to pay their taxes. While the geography of the region has changed over the centuries, the bridge would likely have been over the Husumer Au, an inlet which separates the two halves of Husum.<br />
<br />
The name "<i>Husum</i>" itself is made up of <i>"Hus"</i> and "<i>um</i>". <i>Hus</i> means "house," (German and Danish; in Dutch "huis", but pronounced the same). The most likely explanation for the addition of "um" is that it is a Latin ending denoting a singular grammatical number. The prefix "van" means "from." Thus, we have "Jan Franz from the city of Husum".<br />
<br />
The larger region around the city of Husum is known as Eiderstedt, and the settlement of Husum ended the trade route along the western coast of the Jutland peninsula where cattle was driven south to Dutch and German markets. The name Eiderstedt, "city of the eider duck" suggests that ducks and geese were also raised in the area for southern markets.<br />

[Both maps from Wikipedia. Carta Marina, <span class="st">created by Olaus Magnus, 16th century, is the earliest map of Denmark and the Jutland peninsula</span>. Abraham Ortelius, who is Flemish, spells the name of the town "Huysen," Johannes Janssonius, a Dutch cartographer uses a similar spelling.<span dir="auto"> Willem Blaeu, another Dutch cartographer, spells the city "Hussum"</span>.]<br />
<br />
The two maps above reveal that Husum was not always a seaport. That it became one is an accident of nature. In 1362, a flood of biblical proportions, called the Big Man-Drowning (<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burchardi_flood" target="_blank">Burchardi Flood</a> or Grote Mandrenke</i>) devastated the area and brought the sea closer to the town of Husum. It also created the island of Nordstrand where Jan's wife Volkje hailed from. <a href="http://rabbel.nl/nordstrand.html" target="_blank">Another flood in the year 1634</a> would again sweep over Husum and Nordstrand affecting the lives of both Jan and Volkje.<br />
<br />
<b>Van Hoesen</b><br />
<br />
<i>Van Hoesen</i>, "from the city of Hoesen" is another variation in the spelling of the family name. It is but a slight change in the spelling of "Huysen" found in Ortelius' map. Once in New Netherlands, Jan Franz Van Husum changed the spelling of his name to Van Hoesen. Interestingly, his eldest son was baptized in 1640 in the Dutch Reformed Church as "Van Huysen," using Ortelius' spelling. <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=nkHQAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA137&lpg=PA137&dq=huysen+ortelius&source=bl&ots=-iETuZOYC5&sig=k2eqrZ9ZbPrmVSTAuloiP2aF2r0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=9-13Ue0NhtnRAaOdgaAF&ved=0CFAQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=huysen%20ortelius&f=false" target="_blank">Early Records of the City and County of Albany: Deeds. 1678-1704.</a><br />
