Notes for Jacob Walingen:
Based on early research records in New Amsterdam it seems likely that he was the man listed as coming to New Amsterdam in 1624, and he was listed as one of the first European settlers in New Amsterdam.On 22 April, 1625 he was one of five chief farmers who had the best cattle in New Amsterdam.In 1624-1625 he occupied one of the 6 bouweries (farms) in New Amsterdam.In May, 1630 he worked for the Dutch West India company. On 02 July, 1631 an inventory of his estate showed that he owned 6 saddle horses, 2 stallions, 6 cows, 2 bulls, 22 sheep, and he was a breeder of cattle in the new colony, and in early 1633 he returned to Holland on the ship "de Southby".The Reformed Dutch church records in Hoorn, Holland shows him attending church on 18 Dec., 1633 (HSYB 1915-10).He most likely returned to New Amsterdam with his two sons on the ship "King David" on 10 July, 1634,which anchored off the shores of Cayenne on 14 Sept., 1634, then he was off the coast of Virginia on 14 October, 1634, and then he proceeded up the coast to New Amsterdam again.Jacob remained in New Amsterdam and was one of the most significant farmers, and cattleman in the early colony.Jacob, upon his arrival at Fort Orange (Albany) was made the Director of Patroons in the small fort.He was still there in 1644 when he was assessed for 24 schepels of wheat, and 26 schepels of oats for the tenth due to the Patroon.He entered into an agreement on 07 October, 1648 to purchase Peter Van der Linden's plantation on Manhattan Island for 175 Guilders.A few months later he seems to have settled in Pavonia, near Paulus Hook, New Jersey, the first known white settlement in that area.
