Biography

Johannes Pieterszen (ver Brugge) van Brugh Magistrate is Notable.

Johannes Pieterszen van Brug|Brugge|Brugs|Brugh (1624–1697), was a member of the New York colonial aristocracy as a fur trader in both Rensselaerswyck and in the Netherlands. He was prominently connected with the Dutch West India Company, as well as a City alderman and Magistrate. He was a merchant, attorney, city burger, and Magistrate in New Amsterdam, New Netherland

Name

Johannes Pieterse used the surname of 'Van Brug" for the baptisms of his six known children. He used the surname of "Van Brugge" both for his marriage to Catharina|Trjntje Roelofs.^[1], and when he sat as an alderman to decide a trespass case within the City of New York on the 6th day of July 1680^[2]. Other works refer to him as Van Brugh.

Birth-Baptism

Johannes (Jan) Pietersz van Brug (Verbrugge), baptized/ gedoopt op 27 december 1628- d. 1699 at New York, NY (Age ~ 75 years). Hij was het die met Catharina Roelofs trouwde en burgemeester werd van New York/ It was him who married Catharina Roelofs and later became Mayor of New York. (New Amsterdam)^[3]

See: Gillis van Brug for an explanation where the last name van Brug or Verbrugge is coming from, they were not from Brugge but from Haarlem and the ancestors were from Leende , North Brabant, there was a tiny Hamlet name Bruggenhuizen near Leende , so that's where the last name most likely is coming from ! See also source added to baptism ! (Dutch)

Johannes' father Pieter's family seems to have removed from Brugge, Flanders between 1570 and 1590, when the Spainish occupied the City and drove out the Protestants.

Bruges, or Brugge, was the last Flemish town as one approached the Dutch border, distant eight miles from the coast, and ten south of Sluis. Very ancient too, it was the veritable godfather of Flanders, to which it had given a name originally Vlonderen, a Flemish term equivalent to Bruges or (Brugge that is Bridges, as its Dutch people called it). and which it early took, from the many bridges in the town and environs. Once among the most commercial and opulent of the Netherland cities, it dared defy the Emperor Maximilian, whose vials of wrath vented upon it, and its troubles under Alva, with the rivalry of its neighbors, Ghent and Antwerp, had ruined its industries. It was six years under Protestant rule, but on May 22d, 1584. submitted to the King of Spain. By degrees its Protestant population forsook it...^[4]

Jan|Johannes Pieterszen Van Brug|Brugge|Brugh^[5] (son of Pieter, Jan, Gillis). was often mentioned in the records of New Amsterdam, whither he had certainly gone before 1651, probably in connection with the business of his uncle Gillis. On 15 June 1651 at New Amsterdam Paulus Leendertsen gave a bond for him as Johannes Pietersen Verbrugge [Calendar Hist. Mss. (N. Y.) Dutch]. He was evidently well established in New Amsterdam by 1653, when on March 13, 1653, he subscribed 200 florins toward the defense of New Amsterdam (Records of New Amsterdam, Vol. I, p. 66). There were two others who subscribed a like amount. The rest gave much less. His cousin, Jan Gillis Verbrugge, gave 100 florins. In the same year Johannes de Peyster going to Fort Orange appointed Johannes Pietersen Verbrugge his attorney in New Amsterdam (Idem. p. 81). Then, on 2 August 1653, Johannes Pietersen Verbruggen and his cousin Johannes Gillesen Verbruggen were named among those attending a burgers' meeting for retrenchments for the city (Idem, pp. 92-93). On 18 January 1654, as Johannes Pietersz. van Brug, he was one of the sponsors at the baptism of Tryntie, daughter of Abraham Klock (Records of Dutch Church, New York), and also, as Jan Pietersen Verbrugge, had a deed of a lot on the Great Highway in Manhattan [Calendar Hist. Mss. (N. Y.) Dutch.] He was back in Holland by 15 August 1655, for on that date at Haarlem, with his father, Pieter Verbrugge, and his sister-in-law, Catharyntje van Geelmuden (wife of his brother Reynier) he was sponsor at the baptism of Johannes, son of his sister Geertruyd Verbrugge and Pieter Jansen Kortrijck her husband. He had probably returned to New Amsterdam by 10 March 1656, when Dame Dirckje van Galen, widow of Willem Thomas, sea captain, gave power of attorney to Yan Reyeress, captain of the ship de Beer and to Yan Pietersz. Verbrugge and Yohannes Gilliss. Verbrugge, jointly and severally, to lease her house in Manhathans in New Netherlands now occupied by the above-named Yan Pietersz. Verbrugge and to sell a vacant lot there adjoining, reserving a right of way (Archives of Amsterdam, Protocol of Notary G. de Winter. Invent. No. 2283, p. 22). In the same year he, as Johannes Pietersen van Brugge, petitioned to be credited with the money advanced by him to the city of New Amsterdam in the time of the English troubles [Calendar Hist. Mss. (N. Y.) Dutch]. This was perhaps the above-mentioned 200 florins. The entry of a power of attorney given in 1657 by Jan Gillisen Verbrugge to Johannes de Peyster to attend to the affairs of Jan Pietersen Verbrugge may indicate that he was then absent from New Amsterdam (Idem). The occasion for giving this power was apparently that Jan Gillisen was then about to return to Holland. Earlier in the year, on 11 April 1657, both these van Brughs had taken the great burgers' oath at New Amsterdam. Jan Pietersen van Brugh had, however, gone to Holland by 31 August 1663, for there is record of a petition by Allard Anthony and Cornelius Steenwyck requesting the appointment of a third orphan master "instead of Johannes van Brugh who has returned to the fatherland" (Holland Society of New York Year Book for 1900, p. 118). On 5 January of the same year he, as Johannes van Brugh, had revoked a power of attorney given by him on 3 August 1858 to his uncle Gillis van Brugghe, then living in Amsterdam, and had appointed in his place Gerrit Arentsen Zuyck, merchant, of Amsterdam. This instrument was witnessed by Johannes de Peyster and Jacobus van de Water (Holland Society of N. Y. Year Book, 1900, p. 154). This journey to Holland seems to have been made by him and by Jan Baptist van Rensselaer to carry thither an appeal for help (Van Rensselaer-Bowler Mss. 1908. p. 785-789). Jan Baptist van Rensselaer was still in Holland in December, 1666, when he was one of the arbitrators in the dispute before mentioned between the children of Seth Verbrugge and his creditors.

There is a little information about Jan Pietersen's activities while in Holland on this visit. In the Archives of the City of Amsterdam in an instrument dated 31 March 1664 (Protocol of Notary J. van de Yen. Invent. No. 1148, Fol. 256) and on 17 April 1664, he was party to two agreements:

One of these was a power of attorney from Gerrit Suyek and Derck Croon, on behalf of the creditors of Gillis van Brugh & Co., giving Mr. Johannes Van Brugge, merchant, power to lease and collect rents, collect debts etc. in Nieu Amsterdam in Nieu Nederlandt (Archives of Amsterdam, Protocol of Notary Hendrick Schaeff, Inv. No. 1371, Fol. 63).

The other is a partnership agreement with his brother (Reyneir) and others which seems sufficiently interesting to give an English translation.

On this day, April 17th Anno 1664, the hereafter-mentioned persons who signed this document?copartners declared to have appointed in their copartnership and taken in their services: Johannes Van Brugge, who declared on his side to agree with this appointment in the following manner and conditions, to know;

That they appearers and he Johannes Van Brugge and his brother Reynier van Brugge, will make among them a cargo destined for New Netherland to an amount of sixteen thousand Caroli guilders. The participants will pay in money or goods as follows: Reynier and Johannes van Brugee together three eighth parts (3/8) being an amount, of six thousand guilders,? Seignior Gerrit Seyck a fourth part,? Derck Croon, Jacobus van Noortgau and Abraham Janss, every one of them an eighth part, making together the above-mentioned total or eight eighth parts; they will also participate like-wise in certain outstanding debts in New Netherland bought by him Johannes van Brugge known to them? to an amount of four thousand four hundred guilders, which is evident by written contract. And with conditions that of the cargoes, of which a part is already embarked will be sent under his accompaniment and the remnant next Autumn.

Johannes van Brugge must deal with these cargoes and use his house and cellar as a store.

And this during three or four years, to begin at his arrival in New Netherland. Johannes van Brugge is not bound to come back after the expiration of that time, but the other partners, or their representatives, must he satisfied and content with the manner in which he sent formerly the accounts and books to his former principals.

All the charges concerning the trade, and also the expenses in behalf of his voyage hither and thither will become a charge upon the before-mentioned working capital.

He Johannes van Brugge is bound to send every year to the other before-mentioned partners a list of the outstanding debts and the remnants of the goods and merchandises and this in particular to Seignior Gerrit Suych who will be manager here and must render an account to the other partners at the expiration of each year, such that the purchase and the sale of the goods and of the returned goods must be done with knowledge and communication of the other partners here (in Holland).

Also the other partners must forward to him Johannes van Brugge the lists of the sold goods, products and outstanding debts annually.

Johannes van Brugge will profit an amount of twelve hundred guilders annually to receive after the expiration of each year (Dutch current) for his service, the rent of his house and cellar, and for his livelihood, drink and support, to pay on his request. Moreover he may dispose on his behalf of an amount? or the value? of four to five hundred guilders yearly.

And if it might happen, that commerce in that country (New Netherland) by an invasion and occupation of the English might be forbidden, that in this case the before-mentioned annual salary will not be paid out in the year that it happens but that the other partners (in the room of this) will pay him out a reasonable salary for his trouble in the sale of the remnants of the goods and the trouble to call in outstanding debts.

And also if it might happen that the other partners (in this country) add more money to the working capital and send this quantity of goods and merchandises to him, that in this case Johannes van Brugge is obliged to deal also in these goods without advance in wages or increase of his annual salary, and is also obliged to return the remnants occasionally.

They pledge (mutual) their persons and goods, movable and immovable which they possess at present and will possess in the future nothing exempt and everyone for his own part in the before-mentioned copartnership and more-over Johannes van Brugge pledges here for his annual salary of XIIc guilders.

They submit themselves to any eventual sentence of the Court of Holland and judges and also to the laws.

Drawn up in good faith. In knowledge of this undersigned in Amsterdam on the day and in the year before-mentioned [April 17th Anno 1664], in the presence of us Notary and requested witnesses who signed also this document.

Birth

Johannes Pieterse Van Brugge was born ca. 1624, at Harlem, Holland. There is no known entry of his baptism, though it is stated without proof that he was born in 1624, and this, judging from the known ages of his brothers Pieter and Reynier, may well be correct.

Residences

Johannes was a fur trader and businessman in both Rensselarswyck and New Amsterdam.

He resided upon the water syde (the west side) of Pearl Street between Wall and William Streets. He was prominently connected with the Dutch West India Company.

Emigration

Johannes Pieterszen Van Brug's cousin Jan|Johannes Gilliszen Van Brug apparently emigrated to New Amsterdam, NN at approximately the same time; shortly before 15 June 1651 . They appear Aug 03; 1653 as co-witnesses at the baptism of a child of a business associate^[6]. No record of cousin Jan Gilliszen Van Brug was found after 1653 at the New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church. Further, Jan was not mentioned in his Aunt Barbara's 1664 will while his father and cousins were.

Parents and Siblings

Parents: Pieter Van Brug|Van Brugge and Helena Pottai had the following children:

• 1. Geertruyd Van Brug|Van Brugge, d. Aft 02 Jun 1664
• 2. Reynier Van Brug|Van Brugge, d. Aft 02 Jun 1664
• 3. Anthony Van Brug|Van Brugge, d. Aft 02 Jun 1664
• 4. Pieter Van Brug|Van Brugge, b. Bef 25 Dec 1621, Haarlem, Noord-Holland, Netherlands
• 5. Johannes Pietersen Van Brug|Van Brugge, b. Abt 1624, Haarlem, Noord-Holland, d. 1699 (Age ~ 75 years)
• 6. Barbara Van Brug|Van Brugge, d. Aft 02 Jun 1664

Marriage

Johannes Pieterse Van Brugge, b. ca. 1624, married Catharina Roelofs aka Trijntje (Roeloffs), aka Widow Rodenborg (Note that she also used Tryntie Rodenburgs for the April 24, 1658^[7] baptism of their daughter Anna. Lucas Rodenborg was Vice-Director of the West India Company at Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba

Marriage banns were read at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New Amsterdam, NN on Mar 29, 1658.^[8]. Trintje was married twice, 1st. to Willen DEKAY b: Dec 1624 ca: 3 Jan 1625, at Haarlem; Abt 24 Feb 1647. 2nd. Lucas RODENBURG, Aft 16 Sep 1652. 3rd. to Johannes Van Brogh on 24 Apr 1658 ^[9]

Note: of particular interest is that Lucas Rodenborg was the Vice-Director of West India Company at Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba; having been elected to that position when Pieter Stuyvesant was promoted to Director General of The West India Companies interests at New Amsterdam. He held this position until about June 1655 when he apparently died. His widow Catharina Roelofs (possibly with child) returned her child/children to New Amsterdam. The New Vice Director Beck, in 1658, sent Johannes and Catharina Van Brug wedding presents.

Children

Apparently Johannes Van Brug raised the daughters of Lucas Rodenborg, namely Elizabeth and Lucretia Rodenborg, and provided for them in his wills. Because of the confusion of name of Lucretia's father in her Jul 01, 1657 baptism record, "Johannes" rather than "Lucas" Rodenborg ^[10]. Johannes Van Brugge may have been present at the child's baptism.

Known children of Johannes Pieterse van Brug and Catharina Roelofs were:

• Helena (1) Van Brug was bp. Apr 04, 1659. Baptizm was recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New York, NY. ^[11] Helena died before the bp. of her sister Helena on Jul 28, 1660.

• Helena (2) Van Brug was bp. Jul 28, 1660. Baptizm was recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New York, NY. ^[12]

• Anna Van Brug was bp. on Sep 10, 1662. Baptizm was recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New York, NY. ^[13][Note: Tryntie used the surname of her late husband for this baptism]

• Catharina Van Brug was bp, on Apr 19, 1665. Baptizm was recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New York, NY. ^[14]

• Pieter Van Brug (1666 – July 1740 was bp. on Jul 14, 1666. Baptizm was recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New York, NY. ^[15], the oldest son of Johannes and Trijntje, was the Mayor of Albany, New York from 1699 to 1700 and from 1721 to 1723.^{[16] [17]}

• Maria Van Brug was bp. on Sep 20, 1673. Baptizm was recorded at the Reformed Dutch Church of Manhattan, New York, NY. ^[18]

Death

Johannes Van Brug|Brugge|Burgh died at New York, New York sometime between December 22, 1696, creation of last will, and 1699 when that will was proved.

Will of Johannes Van Brugh

Johannes left his last will dated December 22, 1696, proved 1699. He was magistrate and a prominent merchant. NYGB REC, Vol. 66, p 1-22, 166-177.

First will: It appears that on 23 August 1662, immediately after marriage, Johannes Van Brugh and Catharina Roeloffs made a joint will after the Dutch fashion by the notary Walewyn Van der Veen in New Amsterdam. In it they named her two daughters by her first marriage, namely Elizabeth and Lucretia Rodenburgh. This will was witnessed by Johannes de Peyster and Jacobus van der Water (Holland Society of New York Year Book for 1900, p. 153)^[19].

Last will: Finally on 22 December 1696, he made his last will, which may be abstracted as follows ^[20]:

Johannes Van Brugh, New York, "merchant "being weake in body" leaves to wife Catherine for life or during widowhood, all estate real and personal. But she is not to sell without the consent of the children, or the greater part of them, and he makes her sole executor. "And whereas our daughter Elizabeth Rodenbergh, now wife of John Donaldson of New Castle in Delaware, has due unto her out of my estate the like proportion as her sister Lucretia Rodenbergh has received in full of her proportion of the estate of her father Lucas Rodenberg, the executor is directed to pay the same, to be paid according to the terms of a marriage settlement made between the said John Donaldson and Elizabeth his wife, February 24, 1691/2. And whereas I have purchased for my son Peter, a tract of land on Delaware River next to the land of John Donaldson, the same is left to him." He also leaves him five pounds "in consideration that he is my first born son." After his wife's decease the property is to go to the children, Elizabeth Donaldson "my wife's daughter by a former husband," Helena, wife of Teunis de Kay, Anne, wife of Andrew Gravenraedt, Peter, Catharine, wife of Henry RenselIaer, Johannes, and Mary, wife of Stephen Richards.

Will of Barbara Van Brugh, Johannes' Sister

In the name of our Lord? Amen.

Prepared Jun 2, 1664^[21]

By the tenor of this present instrument, is made known and public to every one, that in the year after the birth of our Lord and only Saviour Jesu Christy one thousand six hundred and sixty-four, on Monday, June the second at about seven o'clock in the morning, the first Indiction, under the reign of Leopoldus, by the grace of God the first of that Name chosen Roman Emperor, in the fourth year of his empire, appeared before me Jacob Schoudt, Public Notary, admitted by the Court of Holland, residing in the city of Beverwyck [Beverwijk, Noord-Holland, Netherlands ] in the presence of the here-after-mentioned witnesses, in person (or personally), the modest BARBARA VAN BRUGH, unmarried, old maid, well known to me Notary, who is living in the city of Haarlem, going, standing, stout and able bodied, having her intellect, reason, memory and language by the grace of the Lord and making use of them as was apparent and one could not observe otherwise.

Who, meditating on the frailty of this life on earth, being transitory like a shadow on earth, the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the time and the hour of it, and wishing to dispose of her temporal goods (granted to her by the Lord) as she likes, and this after Christian recommendation of her soul and her body, has ordained and mentioned, as she ordains and mentions by this (instrument) with unconstrained, free mind as she said publicly, her testament and last will. First, the Testatrix has bequeathed, left as a legacy and secured, as she bequeathes, leaves as a legacy and secures herein, to the poor-law board of the Reformed Church in Haarlem, and that in behalf of the poor members of the church an amount, for once, of one hundred Carolus guilders.

Item to Maeycken Van Brugh, Widow of Pieter Lucass. van der Liphorst, and by her pre-decease, to her daughter Maria van der Liphorst, an amount fifty of the same guilders.

To Gillis van Brugh, an amount of twenty-five guilders, and still twenty-five of the same guilders to Susanneken van der Liphorst or, by her pre-decease, to Pieter Bloemert her son, and if the before-mentioned friends and legatees may die before her, testatrix, in such case it is her wish and desire that the afore-said amounts must be distributed among the poor and indigent blood relations of the family according to the disposition and pleasure of her heir.

The above-mentioned Testatrix bequeathes and secures still to Geertruyt van Brugh [Sister], Yan van Brugh[Johannes Pieterszen Van Brugh, brother] and Reynier van Brugh [Brother], each an amount of two hundred of the same guilders, for once, and also to each of them two pair of bed sheets, two pair of pillow-cases, a large table-cloth and six napkins each of them embroidered with her (testatrix's) initials.

Item to the daughter of Geertruyt Van Brugh, named: Judith Cortryck, and together with the three daughters of Reynier Van Brugh, named: Helena, Maria and Barbara Van Brugh and also together with the two daughters of Jan Van Brugh, named: Helena and Anna, both living now in New-Netherland, she gives, secures and bequeathes, two nice aprons and a nice night neck-cloth embroidered with her initials.

And still to the before-mentioned Judith Cortryck the plain borat (kind of woollen stuff) skirt. To Helena in Amsterdam the floret silk skirt. To Maria van Brugh the incarnate (flesh-coloured ?) skirt and to Barbara van Brugh the large Bible. To Helena in New Netherland the muff and to Anna van Brugh the twilled borat skirt.

And in regard to the other woollen and linen clothes of the testatrix which have been used by her, she ordains that they must be divided by the before-mentioned Geertruyt van Brugh together with Jan, Reynier and Anthony van Brugh, equally.

At length the above-mentioned testatrix has instituted and appointed, institutes and appoints by this (instrument) as her only and universal heir, her brother Anthony van Brugh before-mentioned, leaving to him in full, free and absolute right of property, all the goods which (after the division of the legacies) she leaves behind after her decease, and also after the payment of the legal payments of the debts, etc.

She leaves to him all the rest: movable and immovable goods, money, gold, silver, minted and un-minted, household goods, furniture and suchlike, nothing excepted.

He may deal with it as he likes, without any hindrance of somebody etc.

She adds also that it is her special desire that it is not necessary that her universal heir pays out the "legacies in money" within a year and six weeks after the decease of the testatrix.

And if it may happen, that God forbid, the inheritance was desolated (visited, afflicted or ravaged) by bankruptcies or fire, it is the desire of the testatrix that the sad loss must be born by the legatees proportionally without any opposition.

At length, the testatrix has kept and reserved for herself the power and the authority to alter, augment or reduce (increase or decrease) her testament and last will at the time she thinks it proper and fit and at her pleasure; it may be by her own hand-writing or by another apparent and probable instrument of what kind and at what time it may be.

She desires that this alteration shall have the same power as it if had been expressed and inserted in this will.

The above-mentioned Barbara van Brugh said publicly and declared (legally stipulating this in my presence) that all that has been before-mentioned is her will and testamental disposition, desiring that it must be performed and kept in every point or article, however that may be, as will, codicil, donation among the living caused by death, or otherwise, according to the written laws or good customs which may exist with regard to the testament or will of man-kind or any country or city and that will be to purpose though all solernnities, required by the law, were not observed.

Asking me Notary Publ. before-mentioned to fet make of this (document) and delivered one or more instruments in due form.

Drawn up, In the before-mentioned city of Beverwyck on the date before-mentioned in the presence of Wouter Diroxsz. gardener and Cornelis Ghysbertsz., van't Gaevn (a district bearing this name) neighbours living there (at Beverwyck) as requested witnesses who with the appearer have signed the minute of this instrument and have also confirmed it.

And because the testatrix has drawn up this in the presence of me Notary and of the before-mentioned witnesses, I have put my ordinary signature under this document.
