The VanSinderen line in this country starts with Ulpianus VanSinderen who was sent over here in 1746, by the Classis of Amsterdam, to preach in the Dutch Reformed churches of Brooklyn.  He was one of the last of the Dutch speaking ministers (Dominie) to be sent from Holland.  I actually have the diary he kept on his journey from Tessel to New York, plus many bibles and religious books in Dutch.

This is a photo of the VanSinderen House sent by Frank W. Linnington to Abraham A. Wyckoff on 3/12/1902. On the corner of the property is a For Sale sign.

p_vs_sig.jpg (179942 bytes)  Here is a list of signatures on a deed including Phebe (Femmetie) VanSinderen 4/13/1784.

I suspect this the Rev's grandson, Ulpianus, from a deed selling land to his mother Catalina after he apparently moved to New York City, 8/26/1807.

uvs_marr.jpg (824471 bytes)  This is the marriage certificate of Ulpianus & Cornelia Schenck.

In 1748 Rev. Ulpianus married Cornelia Schenck and had a son Ulpianus and a daughter Femmetie.   This Ulpianus married Magdelina Bancker in 1771 and had four children.  After she died, he married Catalina Lott in 1784 and had another four children.  One of these four was a son, Hotso, (anglicized version of the Friesian name Hutse).

  In 1819 Hotso married Catalina Staats, who had a child in 1821.  The child died ten days later, and the mother died after less than a year.  Hotso then married Jane Ann Duryea in 1824.

This is a link to the diary
kept by Rev. Ulpianus VanSinderen on his trip in 1746 from Holland to New Amsterdam.  Unfortunately it only covers three months which were spent at various points in England, but it is interesting in detailing some of the problems with travel in those days.  Seems to me that he picked the wrong ship and captain.

 

This one is a link to a letter written to the Rev. VanSinderen in 1753 by his older brother Hutse on the death of their father.  Also interesting for showing some of the everyday life in Holland at the time.

 

And here is a link to the VanSinderen family Bible.  This was kept by Rev. Ulpianus and continued by his son.

NOTE - 3/15/1866
Died, at New Lots, March 15, 1866, Hotso VanSinderen,
in the 75 yeare of his age.
The deceased had been a member of the church of
New Lots for thirty-five years and had been an Elder
for many years. In him the church and the pastor had
a considerate, earnest and stable friend. An upright
man, kind and cordial in his intercourse with others,
he was respected by all who knew him. During a
protracted illness he enjoyed the manifest presence
and comfort of the Holy Spirit. When conversing with
him about his condition and his prospects in the
heavenly state, he was composed and happy, his
countenance always beamed with light, he seemed to
have the first fruits of the kingdom of grace, as
well as a lively anticipation of its eternal bliss.
His last words were: 'Jesus is coming for me'

LETTER 3/6/1917

Written to Cousin E. E. Wyckoff from John VanSinderen
125 Avenue B, Schenectady, N.Y. asking for return of

years ago.
