| Notes |
- Simon Claessen was a gunner in the employ of the Dutch East India Trading Company when his freighter, the Angel Gabriel, put into harbor at New Amsterdam on 6 Sep 1641 with its mast broken in two places and the ship leaking. It sailed after repairs, on 21 Sep 1641.
By 1653, he was a captain employed by Wouter van Twiller. In March of 1655, as skipper of the Flower of Gelder, he appeared in the court of New Amsterdam to presss suit against Thomas Hall for non-payment of freight charges and interest. His ship carried tobacco to Holland during the winter of 1655-56, returning with malt, hops, and bricks, in exchange for vinegar.
On 23 December 1657, he was captain of De John Baptist. In Brukelen, NY, he was employed as a pilot in the harbor. He became a member of the Dutch Church in New Amsterdam. After his marriage in 1655, he and his wife Anneken, daughter of Lodewyck DeJonge, lived in the Poor Bowery of New Amsterdam, which was a collective farm worked by the inhabitants until they were able to leave the colony and settle elsewhere.
His first four children were born there and baptized in the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam. In 1662 he and his family removed to Breukelen, buying 12 acres of land near the ferry. Before 1668, he brought his brother, Jan, and two sisters, Annetje and Marritje, from Holland. With his father-in-law, Lodewyck DeJonge, he was one of the signers of a petition to the Governor for the creation of a village near Breukelen which subsequently resulted in the establishment of the village of Bushwick."
In "Ships Known to have left the Netherlands for the New World" Simon is listed as Symon Claez. (Claessen), Captain of the "Gelderse Blom," likely the Flower of Gelder as mentioned above. Van Twiller is the owner of the ship and this particular trip left Amsterday on August 4, 1754 and arrived in New Netherlands before Dec 23, 1654. On another trip, he left Texel 25 Dec. 1656 and arrived about Mar. 19, 1657, same ship. Later, he was captain of St. Jan Baptist when it left Amsterdam sometime after Dec. 18, 1757. It arrived in New Netherland before June 3, 1658.
By 1668, his name had become Simon Claeszen Van Huysen according to the baptismal record of Johannes.
