She died on 29 Dec 1684 in Albany, Albany Co, New York, USA. Geertje Van Fulpen, as the widow Gertje Cornelis, arrived in New Amsterdam on the ship "Beaver" on May 9, 1661, with her children aged 21, 19, 17, 15, 13, and 10 years of age. Doubtless, she later moved to the Bedford section of Brooklyn where her younger son Cornelis was listed as a magistrate in 1673. About 1675, she and her younger children followed the eldest son Guysbert, who had previously gone to Albany. There she married again, one Steven Janazen Conyn, but soon became estranged and they separated amicably. In 1683, as Geertje Van der Hoeven, she and her sons Cornelis and Jan, daughter Elizabeth and the latter's husband Jurian Caljer, became members of the Reformed Dutch Church of Albany.
Children were:
i.
Guysbert Cornelise VAN DER HOEVE(793)
was born about 1640 in The Netherlands. He died before 25 May 1671 in Albany,
Albany Co, New York, USA. He was Presumed to have died without issue. GUYSBERT
CORNELISE VAN DER HOEVE,has not previously been identified in this family, but
his inclusion, together with the supposed sister Hadduwina, accounts for all
of the six children who arrived with his mother in 1661. It appears that he preceded
the rest of the family to Albany, since, in the Court Minutes of Albany, Rensselaerwyk
and Schenectady from 1668 to 1675, there are several references to Guysbert Cornelise.
One, on 10Nov1670, named him as Vander Oeven, wherein his and Andries Hansz'
grain had been attached in a dispute over some building they had done "behind
Kinderhoek." Other references involving construction doubtless pertain to
him, but some probably refer to Guysbert Cornelise van den Bergh in the same
area. Those after that of 25May1671 are in this category, and it can only be
presumed he was dead without issue by that time.
ii.
Cornelis Cornelise VAN DER HOEVE(794)
was born about 1642 in The Netherlands. CORNELIS CORNELISE VAN DER HOEVE was
born about 1642 in Holland, possibly at Beest, the port from which the family
sailed in 1661. There is some conflict in the references in his early career
since several sources state that he was a magistrate in Bedford, Brooklyn Township,
in 1673. This, however, does not appear in O'Callahan's Register of New Netherlands
and, since his son of the same name later occupied such a position, the reference
is believed to pertain to the latter. On the other hand, in the Early Records
of Albany County, we find that Cornelis purchased a house in Albany on 03Jun1672,
where the family apparently moved to, probably shortly after the death of his
elder brother. On 04Mar1677/8, Cornelis, having bought another house in Albany,
sold his first one. He was next recorded as attending (in Oct1674) the funeral
of the Patroon Jeremiah Van Rensselaer. The Albany Court Minutes show his appointment
as an official carter of Albany on 04Apr1676, in which capacity he continued
during 1678 and 1679. On 27Jun1681, he asked to be re-appointed carman since
he "suffered great misfortune through the sinking of his boat" and
this was done the following July 5th. Cornelis and a friend, on 02May1682, contracted
with his brother-in-law Jurian Caljer for the latter to build them a 36-foot
boat with four bunks, which was probably used in river shipping. In his will,
dated 05Sep1685, he named his wife Metje Beekman (Metie Beechman) but not his
children, who were to receive a half share in the event she remarried.
iii.
Neeltje VAN DER HOEVE(795) was born
about 1644 in The Netherlands. She died after 1684 in USA.
iv.
Elizabeth VAN DER HOEVE(796) was
born about 1646 in The Netherlands.
1816 v.
Jan Cornelise* VAN DER HOEVEN.
vi.
Hadduwina VAN DER HOEVE(797) was
born about 1651 in The Netherlands. She died before 1684 in USA. Supposed child
of this family (fitting the passenger list and dates). Hadduwina and Francois
Rombout witnessed a baptism on 15 Feb 1684 at the NY Dutch Church. There is
no further record of Hadduwina.
