JACOB and SYMON WALICHS
Jacob and Symon Walichs were among the early settlers of New Netherlands. The date is not fixed with
any certainty, but the existence of two early maps, and an inventory list of farm animals from the
Killean Van Rensselaer records, confirms that Jacob arrived prior to 1630. One Van Winkle writer who
has researched early Dutch records has Jacob settled in New Amsterdam from 1624.' It is also possible
that Jacob visited New Netherlands about 161819 as a deckhand on a Dutch vessel but this is
unsupported.
The name Walichs is spelled in many different ways in the old records of the early Dutch and English
settlers, sometimes in several ways in one document. Walings, Walling, Walinghs, Waelingh, Wallens,
Waelingen, Walichsz, Walichs, Walichsen, Wolichs and Walingen were all used. He was known as
Jacob Walingen in Holland, and sometimes as Jacob van Hoorn in New Amsterdam. He was Jacob
Walingen in Rensselaerwyck. "Walichs" is found in the early records of Holland and is also the version
found in the heraldry book which describes the Shield which is attributed to the family.
In New Amsterdam, the West India Company established bouweries and plantations that it leased to its
settlers. Private property did not exist under the Company system at the time and was probably one of
the reasons that Jacob and Symon eventually sought property in what eventually became New Jersey.
Bouweries were large farms that were selfsufficient in all agricultural needs., including farm animals for
food and work. Plantations were smaller and were dedicated to one or two crops such as corn, tobacco,
or grains that were sold to the company or on the open market.
Jacob and his partner Claes Cornelissen farmed Bouwerie No. 5 from about ?1624 until 1636 when
their lease expired and both men left. Claes secured a farm of his own; he was killed in 1641 by the
Indians, as was his son Cornelius in 1655.
Symon's first presence in New Netherland is confirmed only by the records of the Dutch Church at
Hoorn: "December 18, 1633. Have come over with certificate from other churches to our congregation
Symon Walingen of New Netherland, Jacob Walingen of New Netherland." This would strongly
indicate that those accounts which suggest that Symon did not leave Holland until Jacob made his first
return trip to the old country in 1633, must be considered as wrong. Whether he arrived with Jacob or
at some later date, but before 1633, is unknown. This document is the only record that establishes a
tenuous, and possibly unfounded, relationship between Jacob and Symon as brothers. The use of the
relationship throughout the rest of this text is based solely on this early record.
Since surnames were not yet in vogue, place names were often applied to differentiate individuals with
the same first names; the surname usually being the name of the town or village with which they were
identified. Jacob is likely to have emigrated from Winkel by way of the port of Hoorn, while Symon is
assumed to have had some association with the village of de Bilt located near Utrecht.
Jacob and Symon traveled to Holland in 1633 on the ship den Soutbergh to secure additional cattle for
the Company farms under the sponsorship and financing of Killean Van Rensselaer. As to why tenant
farmers should be selected to return to Holland for such an undertaking is unknown but it is apparent
that each must have had some favor with van Rensselaer or his agent in New Netherlands that
warranted this selection. The Patroon's later statements about Symon and his efforts to keep Jacob at
Rensselaerwyck seem to confirm this. Jacob departed Hoorn on the ship de Konig David (the King
David) and arrived back in New Amsterdam in June 1635. No known record explains this extended
absence but Bouwerie No. 5 was managed by his partner Claes Corelisson dunng this penod. Symon is
reported to have sailed from Holland on the Rensselaerwyck on 1 October 1636 and landed at
Rensselaerwyck but this conflicts with a report that he returned the year before with Jacob. It is certain
that Symon is named in the Rensselaenvyck records of 1636.
One theory says that Jacob farmed in New Netherlands at Bouwerie 14 for some time. The other is that
he sailed to Rensselaerwyck in 1635 and then returned to New Netherlands before January 1639. His
presence in New Neúlerlands is confirmed by his court testimony in January 1639 that he was a
resident of New Netherlands and that he was 40 or 41 years old. He was testifying against the Captain
of de Konig David who had attempted to abandon a passenger in Virginia during the 1635 trip to New
Netherlands.
Jacob is mentioned in papers as a part of Governor Kieft's governing council of " Twelve Men" in
Manhattan in August of 1641. These individuals advised the governor on the general treatment of the
Indians. He may not have been on the council itselfas has been stated by others; there is some dispute,
but he could n0t have been at Rensselaerwyck, as the other theory contends, at the same time he was
advising Governor Kieft in New Netherlands. That he occupied Farm 14 is also disputed but there is no
other record of where he was dunng this period.
He and a number of associates petitioned The Dutch West India Company in 1649 to lead an expedition
to settle lands along the Fresh
(Connecticut) River. It was denied and a demonstration was held by some residents of New
Netherlands on July 28, 1649.2 Whether Jacob was in New Netherlands or in Rensselaerwyck at this
time is not known.
He was reported in Rensselaenvyck on 12 May 1650. It has been established that 1 October 1650 is the
time that he left Rennselaerwyck. The Patroon offered him inducements to remain there but Jacob
insisted on returning to New Netherlands. No reasons are recorded for his wanting to return. He
secured a patent for land in Pavonia near Communipaw, not far distant from where Symon was killed.
It would appear likely that since Jacob and Claes had the farm together that they were unmarried at the
time. In Claes' case this does not hold true at least after 1630, and probably from his first arrival, since
his son Cornelius who secured his own patent iI1 1645 had to have attained his majonty by then. Claes
probably left a wife and at least the one son in Holland, and sent for them about the time he leased his
own farm.
Nothing is currently known about Tnntje before her marriage. Her date of birth is assumed based on
several factors: the minority of all six children at Jacob's death in 1657 and for whom the Court
appointed guardians to protect their rrights, the marriage of their daughter Marritje in 1663, the birth of
their last child in 1656, and the birth of additional children to Tnntje on her subsequent marriages,
makes it likely that she was born about 1620.
The date and place of their marriage is unknown. Three dates are suggested. While it seems very likely
that Tnntje was, in fact, considerably younger than Jacob, and providing that her presumed birth date
holds true, she would have been 13 or 14 for a sometimes suggested marnage in 1634, an age which
was not common among the Dutch. He was in Holland dunng this period. A date of 1640 is also
suggested and this marriage would likely have taken place in New Netherlands since he was known to
be there in 1641.
There is no reported record that she was already in New Netherlands, but neither is there any ship
record indicating her travel from Holland either as a single female or as Jacob's wife at any time.
Again, the record becomes unclear and sometimes confusing. Jacob is generally presumed to have made
another trip to Holland about 1642. He likely marned soon after his arrival, and that he remained there
long enough for their first two and possibly three children to be born in Holland. There is no support or
known reason for Jacob's remaining in Holland for this long a penod, especially if he was still in
employment or favor with Patroon van Rensselaerwyck. This marriage date is not otherwise
unreasonable for either Holland or New Netherlands. Their fourth child Jacob was born in New Albany;
that is certain. Assuming that the children were born in a sequence of twenty four to thirty months
based on the last three, the year 1642 as a mamage date is quite possible while leaving unresolved the
birth locations of the first several children.
Jacob Walichs was living on April 17, 1657, when he was confìrmed in his nghts as a small burgher. He
died within four months at Pavonia, New Netherlands (now Jersey City, New Jersey).
Following his return to the colony in either 1635 or 1636, Symon settled at Rensselaerwyck. In October
1636, Van Rensselaer wrote "..these two farmers who have been very helpful to me, namely Cornelius
Maessen and Symon Walichs, you will give a fair choice of the men who are coming. " He was
mentioned for release from tithes for the years 1640 through 1642. Symon maintained a farm on
Papscanee Island until May 1647. Sometime after May 1647, he moved to the Pavonia Patent where
he was killed by an Indian outside his home at Paulus Hook, Pavonia Patent (New Jersey) in 1649
where he probably had a farm. At his death, Symon's name was recorded as Symon vant Bilt (van der
Bilt).
Proof of Jacob Walichs' early presence in New Netherland is shown by the church record at Hoorn in
1633. The earliest record comes from Killean Van Rensselaer's inventory of the farm animals in New
Netherland in May 1630 and signed by the Patroon in Holland on 2 July 1631. It lists by farm and by
name each tenant who had mares, stallions, cows, bulls and sheep and what the disposition of the
animals between the Company and the tenant was to be. It is this document that identifíes Jacob
Walichs as a tenant on Bouwene No. 5.
A map dated 1639 by Joan (Johann, Johannes) Vingboom is the document that shows the location of
the Company farms and other structures and landmarks. of New Amsterdam and environs. It leaves out
certain landmarks known in 1639, but it does show the bouweries leased from the West India Company
on Manhattan Island including Bouwene No. 5 which, according to the Killean Van Rensselaer papers
dated 1631, was occupied by Jacob Walich and Claes Cornelissen, and which they held until the lease
expired. The Vingboom map shows that this farm is vacant in 1639.
Early family history in Holland is taken from material wntten by Daniel Van Winkle in the 1913 Van
Winkle genealogy.3
"Among the early inhabitants of the village of "Winkel" we find the family of Walich. They were land
owners of considerable extent, for in 1326 the cities and villages of Drechterland were ordered to erect
a Dyke "from Wervershoef to Walichsdyke and thence to Sterlock." As the sections of the Dykes were
designated under the names of the owners of the lands they bounded, the Walich land was at least in
part limited by the Dyke called Walichsdyke.
"Unfortunately it has not been possible to secure a continuous record, and we are obliged to rely on
fragmentary data for the scant information here given. But few records from the above date to 1610
have been found. At this latter date it is recorded that the church at "Winkel" had for several successive
years rented out, with other parcels of land, "Peter Walig's verge near the Hoop. " This indicates that
previous to the above date the church had acquired, or received the tract of land in question from Peter
Walig; as it was the custom to enter upon the church records such property as it possessed under the
name of the previous owner.
"The names Waligs, Walichs, Walinghs, and Walighs appear interchangeably in the records at "Winkel"
seemingly according to the whim of the transcnber. In 1610 a lease of land to Dirck Walighs was
recorded and in 1613 one to Jan Dircks Walighs, the son of the above mentioned Dirck.
"In 1611 there appears in the "Schellings book " at "Winkel" so called because taxation was fixed on the
basis of one shilling to every four hundred guilders worth of property, and this book contained the
names of all taxable inhabitants the names of "Tryn Jans Waligs" (widow of Jacob Waligs) and "Pieter
Jan Waligs, her son." In 1614 among the house owners registered at "Winkel" is the name of Lysbet Jan
Waligs, as owner of a house and lot situated on the heights in the west end of Winkel.
"February 4, 1614, Jan Symons, as a sister's child and heir of the old Jacob Walichs, who dwelt in his
lifetime at "de Watering skant" (the side of the Canal) in the district of Niedorp, and also in the the
name of the other heirs of the said Jacob Walichs authorizes Dirck Boot, lawyer at the court of Holland,
in order to open at the said court, a lawsuit against Pieter Walich, Claes Walich and Jacob Walich, "cum
socijs," halfbrothers, and also against Tryn Willems, the widowof the old Jacob aforesaid, &c. This
evidently a transcript of Partition proceedings of a friendly nature to dtermine and distnbutecertain
property inherited from old Jacob Waligh until this time held in common.
"MaIch 9, 1621, Lysbeth declares before the judges and orphan fathers at Winkel 'that the forepart of
the house in which she dwells with her next named children, is the property of her four children, viz.,
Walich Dirck Walich, Ian Dircks Walich, Dirck Dircks Walich and Maritgen Dircks Walich, who paid
for it with their own money that they received from their uncle, Jacob Walich. The lower part of the
property of Cornelis Pieters, the brotherinlaw of her deceased husband. "While these memoranda are
without satisfactory definite data, it is evident the Walich family were residents of "Winkel" in the 14th
and 17th centunes, which fact fully explains and verifies the ongin of the name "Van Winkle" according
to the system of nomenclature in vogue at that time.
