Uncertain family

The Martin Beekman that was a child of this Hendrick Beekman of Cologne, who married Gertryd Gomensbach, Mary Baudertius, and Alida Ottenbeek, is not the Martin Beekman that is currently attached. The Martin of that Hendrick was born in Hasselt and married Maria de Bois. https://archive.org/stream/distinguishedfam00aitk#page/n19/mode/2up

Biography

"Marten Hendricksz, from Hamelwaerde [Hamelwörden, near Freiburg on the Elbe, Hanover]; came on den Harinck and was engaged for six years as a farm hand at f100 a year, beginning Aug. 14, 1639. He was for three years and 8 ½ months employed by Michiel Jansz, and for two years and 3 ½ months by Cornelis Teunisz, from Breuckelen. From Nov. 1, 1645, to March 1, 1646, he was in the service of Antony de Hooges. He is credited with 26 weeks' board of Hans Vos, the court messenger, and in 1651 appears to have had an interest in the brewery, with Evert Pels. In 1657, he is referred to as Marten de bier craaker and Marten de bierkracker. He is perhaps the same person as Marent Hendricksz Verbeeck, who on Feb. 1, 1652, obtained a lot next to Jacob Simonsz Klomp, the rent to commence Easter 1653." [1]

Research notes

LNAB

Investigated because it wasn't even clear that he used the name Beekman, as opposed to Beeckman, but that's how it appears in Susanna's petition Quackenbush-118 13:32, 1 January 2017 (EST)

Jane Beekman
From Revised History of Harlem

Martin Beekman is named by two respectable authorities (Our Home, page 492, Bergen Genealogy, page 348), as a descendant of Wilhelmus Beeckman, noticed on page 161. This is a mistake. Martin was the son of Hendrick and grandson of Marten Hendricksen, of Fort Orange, or Albany, apparently the person so-called, from Hamelwaard, in the duchy of Bremen, who came out in 1638, in the service of the Patroon Van Rensselaer. Marten Hendricksen Beeckman was a sturdy blacksmith, such a character, we may judge, as gives dignity to labor, for during a residence of some years he maintained a good credit with the deacons, who loaned him considerable sums, in 1652 and later. By his wife, Susannah Jans, he had, as identified, five children, viz.: Hendrick, Johannes, Marten, Metje, who married Cornells Vanderhoof, of Albany, and Jan Bebout, of BrooklyrifancT Neeltie, who married Jacob Bennett, of Brooklyn. Johannes Martensen Beekman, who married Machtelt, daughter of Jacob Schermerhorn, and Eva, daughter of John Vinhaegen, is noticed in the works of Holgate and Pearson. His brother Marten married Neeltie, daughter of Teunis and Engeltie Slingerlant, of Albany, removed, in 1692, to New York, and had, so far as known, seven daughters, but no sons.

Hendrick Martensen Beekman,' of Scotia, near Schenectady, married Annetie, daughter of Peter Quackenbos, and had issue, Martin, born 1685; Susanna, born 1686; Lydia, born 1689; Hendrick, born 1692; Mary, born 1695; Peter, born 1697, and Magdalena, born 1701. He removed to Somerset County, New Jersey, where he was living on November 13, 1710, when he bought from Octavio Conraets, of New7 York, a large tract of land on the Raritan River, about three miles above Somerville, part of which is now occupied by the widow of ex-Sheriff Van Doren Vredenburgh. Wilhelmus Beeckman's sons also owned various tracts on the Raritan, some of which Dr. Geradus Beekman conveyed and devised to his son Hendrick, a merchant in New York, and the two Hendricks being taken as one person has led to the error pointed out at the beginning of this note. Hendrick M. Beekman died prior to September 20, J735, as we find by an agreement of that date between his sons Martin and Peter, and which states that they, with their brother Hendrick, had "hitherto jointly enjoyed" his lands. Peter Beekman, who died in 1773, left a widow, Grietie, and daughters Iyeentie. married Fernandus Gulick, Annetie, married Peter Peterson, and Neeltie, married Bernardus Van Zandt. Hendrick, brother of Peter, died a bachelor, in his 77th year, March 19, 1767, and by will gave his property to the five children of his brother Martin, deceased, said Martin having died October 27, 1757, aged 72 years. These children (all by his wife Elizabeth Waldron, of Hoorn's Hook, whom he married June 21, 1724, and who died November 27, 1760, aged 60 years), were, Elizabeth, born August 30, 1725, married Francis Brazier, and died November 9, 1810; Hendrick, born March 24, 1727, married Phebe Bloomfield, and died January 26, 1796; Samuel, born November 26, i72g, married Elizabeth Waldron, of Newtown, I,. I., and died October 19, 1808; Anna, born June 28, 1714* married Johannes Waldron November 12, 1766, and died September 5, 1795 (he died September 10, 1795), and John, born November 5, 1741. Of these Hendrick and Phebe had eight children, of whom Benjamin (born October 26, 1766, married Cornelia Beekman, and died March 21, 1838), was father of Bloomfield Beekman, and of Elizabeth, now the respected widow of Van Dorn Vredenburgh, Esq., deceased. Samuel and Elizabeth had five children, of whom two were sons, viz.: Samuel and Martin, the last (born May 14, I773> married Matilda Brokaw and Mary Powelson, and died August 26, 1844, in Somerset County) having fourteen children, of whom Joseph B. was father of Revs. John S. and Abraham j. Beekman. Martin's brother Samuel (born September 21, 1766, married Helena Ten Broeck, and died March 4, 1850, at Harlingen), was father of Rev. Jacob Ten Broeck Beekman, born April 10, 1801. married Ann Crawford, and died April 23, 1875, being the father of Hon. George C. Beekman, of Freehold, N. J., without whose friendly co-operation we may have been less successful in correcting the current mistakes regarding the early history of this important branch of the Beekman family.

Beekman-58 and Beeckman-25 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these are the same person, with different spellings of the LNAB

I Believe Beeckman is the correct LNAB

Hendrickz-3 and Beekman-58 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest maternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge into the NNS PPP. No tree conflicts. Thanks! The family was German and since there are not church records from Albany at this time, the name should remain Beekman.

Beekman-74 and Beekman-58 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge into the NNS PPP. No tree conflicts. I saved the alternate birth to the bio. Thanks!

I am going to restore the original mother from Maria to Gowensbach-2, who died in 1619, after Martin was born in 1617. The father's second marriage to Maria was not until 1621.
