Philippe du Trieux Progenitor of the Truax family. http://home.ica.net/~runesmith/gene/dutri eux.html

The Du Trieux family were Walloons, people of Celtic stock in northeast France (present day B elgium), french speaking, who became Protestants in large numbers at the Reformation. This s mall area of Europe, which at the time was under Spanish rule, was marked by bloodshed, repre ssion and wide-spread loss of life.

Many of teh Du Trieux family fled. Some found sanctuary in England and a large familly grou p went , in exile, to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, which had recently declared its i ndependence from Spain, the Du Trieuxes and other Walloon families settled in Leiden and Amst erdam. As skilled artisans, these Walloons found employment, assistence, civil and religiou s freedoms. Among these was Philippe Du Trieux, born ca. 1586 at Roubaix, in which is now Fr ance.

By 1614, Philippe Du Triex was a skilled craftsman in Amsterdam, serving as a dyer. In 1615 , in the Walloon Church of old Amsterdam, he married Jacquemine Noiret, a fellow Huguenot fro m Lille, france. In 1620, Jacquemine died, leaving Philippe with three small children [Marie , Philippe Jr, and Madeline, who died in infancy]. Philippe, in 1621, married Susanna Du Che sne, a Huguenoit from Sedan, France. To them was born a son, Gerome, in the fall of 1623[Ger ome died prior to Philippe's emigration in 1624]

In the meantime, the West India Company was being established to develop international commer ce and to serve as a military arm of the Netherlands. A brisk fur trade had developed in th e Hudson Valley region of America, and in 1623 the West India Company made the decision to oc cupy the land between the Delaware Valley and the Connecticut River with permanent settlers.

Philippe and his fellow Walloons had long been seeking the means to settle in either North o r south America. His family, along with 29 other families largely of Walloon identification , entered into a contract with the West India Company to relocate to America.

Philippe and his family [wife Susanna and children Marie and Philippe Jr] departed the Nether lands at the beginning of April 1624 on the ship "New Netherland" and arrived at present da y New York in mid-May. He and his fellow emigrants came as free men and were granted freedo m of conscience in all religious matters.

Upon the purchase of Manhatten Island in 1626, all Dutch and Walloon settlers were gathered f rom their original 1624 settlement points and brougthto Manhatten. There, Philippe and Susan na's family continued to expand [four daughters and three sons, all of whom had children]. H e bacame an employee of the West India Company and served until his death as the court messan ger or marshal. He owned a home on Beaver Street, near the fort, which he sold in 1643, havi ng acquired a sizable farm along the East River in 1640.

The first landholding of American soil today is the site of many commercial ventures, the mos t famed of which is the Fulton Fish Market. The land is located near the soutern tip of Manh atten. It is on the shore precisely south of the Brooklyn Bridge. Emigrant Philippe Du Trie ux is much of record under the Dutch on early Manhatten Island, as are some of his children a nd his sons-in law. Philippe and his eldest son Philippe Jr were killed in 1652.
