• General Notes
  • Beekman is in Dutchess County, NY. It is a VERY interesting, historic place orginally known as the Beekman Patent. An outpost of this area of NY was established by the Dutch (before the English) in 1601 - years before Plymouth Rock or Jamestown by men under direction of Englishman Henry Hudson who sailed for the Dutch East India Company and who were the first to explore and colonize this area. There was a passenger named Frans DeLangen who arrived on the ship Nieuw Nederland directed by Willem Verhulst that dropped anchor at a place then called "Maeykans" (Mohicans) which deposited thirty families onto to five large farms called "bouwerijen" established for the new Dutch West India Company in 1642. During research for my book I went to the Netherlands and attempted to retrace the earliest history of the Dutch settlements in America and found it to be extremely fascinating. The historic and sometimes tragic voyages of the Unrest, the Halve Maan, and the relief ship Tyger I found to be very fascinating in particular, and something, as a historian, I really knew little about. The DeLongs were certainly some of the bluest of the founding bluebloods in America having been contemporaries of the Mayflower Pilgrims. ... The Dutch seem to get very little credit, acknowledgment or historic consideration in our history books concerning their very important contributions to early American history. Historically Colonial America is synonomous with Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. Little is ever mentioned of Halve Maan, New Nederland (named in honor of Hudson's tragically lost ship). Just some random thoughts....  Cher Haile

    !Arie Delong, probable immigrant, first appeared in Kingston, N.Y. in the county records as Adrian Fransen, 1671. Probably settled Rochester township. The baptisms of seven of their ten children are found in Kingston where baptisms were recorded for the surrounding area 1681-93 and where Arie settled by 1671.
    
    Early Ulster Co. deeds. Early English Deed Vol. 1, page 26: "15 Feb 1685 Leanard Coale of Marbletown and Mary his wife to Mr. Francis Rombout of the city of new york, deed for 10 shillings land over the Rideouts Kill or creek att Mombackes which Leonard hath let unto farme to Arien France of Mombackus, Also land upon---etc."
    
    page 150: "Tjercke Clase de witt of Kingston sells for 50 pounds to Cornelis Swits of Mombackus land at Mombackus to west of other lands of sd. Tjerck de witt, now in possession of Jan de witt; and east of land of Mr. Frederick
    Philips, cont. about 60 acers, and fformerly sold to Tjerck de witt by Ariaan france and james pemmits; with small peece of paster land---etc. Signed in Kingstonffef. 1694/5."
    
    His name appears in various forms in the baptismal and other records as: Aryan Fransen, Ary Franz Langet, Ary Franze, Ariaan France Lange, Ary Frans, Arie Fransen Langerth, Adriaan Fransen, Ariaan France and Arie Franssen.
    
    Arie was probably of Dutch-Germanic origin. Irwin Hoch DeLong in the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania publication 1922, page 207, writes extensively on the error of considering Delong to be exclusively or even primarily French, a misrepresentation in an 1856 publication. Reference Poughkeepsie records searched by Mrs. Amy Ver Nooy and Mrs. David Stallard Vital, church and land records of Ulster and Dutchess Counties. Old Dutch Church of Kingston - Hoes, 1891.
    
    The family name DeLong is a partially Anglicised Germanic name, consisting of two elements: the Germanic definite article 'de' = the English 'the'; and the adjective 'lang'. The latter was Anglicised as 'long.' The name Delange
    (variants: Delanghe, Delangh, Delange, Delang, DeLang, etc.) is the Low German equivalent of the High German: der Lange. The name DeLong in its High German form occurs still earlier than the year 1366, the year in which is found its
    earliest occurrence in its Low German form.
    
    Early occurrences in Europe of the Family name DeLong in its high German form are listed in the paper by Irwin Hoch DeLong, Early Occurrences of the Family Name DeLong in Europe and in America, reprinted from The Reformed Church Review, Vol. 3, No. e, July, 1924; the first is Ulrich Der Lange or Lang 1145 in Zurich; Dominus Reinboldus dectus Der Lange 1261 in Stuttgart; and several more through 1329 in Basil.

    From Bill Tufts (deceased) <dg052@freenet.carleton.ca>, 31 August 1998 1:58PM:
    
    Unsubstantiated claims say that Arie was born about 1653 in Amsterdam and that his father was Frans, born about 1627. Arie came to America and settled at what is now known as Kingston, New York. We do not know when he arrived there but he was an adult living there in the early 1670's. He died sometime after the birth of his son (1696). Assuming that he was named in the Dutch tradition, his middle name means he was a son of a Frans Langet. His wife, Rachel Janssen Pier, was born 1657/1659 and was still living in 1723. The Kingston Dutch Reformed Church records (#143) show us that "Rachel Pier, widow of Arie Franssen", married again on 17 April, 1699, to Allert Hendricksen Ploeg, who was born at, and resided at Kingston, New York. Rachel was shown as born in Amsterdam, Holland. An un-identified note, and unproven, said Arie died "in" 1699. Rachel's full name was Rachel Janssen Pier. Arie's name, and variations of it, appear in several records in early New York State. Not all were known to be him.
    1) Arent Franken, of Arthur, Frenchman, arrived New Amsterdam aboard "Faith" on 12 February 1959 from "leveren" (possibly Evron in "Mayenne Province" (Maine)?
    2) Arian ffrancon, one of militia soldiers in a Proclamation of Executive Council of the Province of New York, April 4, 1670: "on the following day, soldiers will draw lotts for land to be allotted and laid out for them in Kinston, Marbletown and Esopus". Land grants to them and heirs forever (Minutes of Executive Council, Province of New York. 1668-1673 New York State Library, 22:99)
    3) Land grants, page 12 -description of survey of 32A, at Esopus "lying ye Roundout Kill (stream), laid out for Aran Franse".
    4) Werner Wessels, plaintiff, vs. Derek Smitt, defendant; Wessels demands 120 florins in tobacco from Arie Fransen, according to obligations accepted by defendant to pay as his own. Defendant says, as before, he has not accepted to pay before Arent Fransen shall have taken a voyage to Virginia, which he has not done. Court sided with plaintiff (New Amsterdam records, Vol. 3, p. 49) -what date?
    5) Leonard Coale (sic) sells land in Ulster Co. to Francis Rombout of New York City; tenant is Arien France. (Feb., 1685).
    6) Adrian Frannsen De Lange m. 1680 at Kingston, Ulster Co., Rachael Jans Pier (LDS, p. 5726).
    u) Arie Fransen Langet, skipper of Sander Lienderzen's yacht, lived on his 32A at Esopus until his death in 1699.
