Willem Isacksen Van Vredenburgh 
Willem was born about 1636 in Kloosterkerk, Hague, Netherlands and his christening took place on January 1st, 1637 in Hague, Netherlands. Willem's father was Isack Van Vredenburgh and his mother was Cornelia Janse. His paternal grandparents were Willem Van Vredenburgh and Maria Van Waelenburch. He was an only child. He died after 1703 in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, New York.General Notes
On 17 May1658, he arrived in New Netherlands on the ship "Gilded Beaver."
He was a soldier for the Dutch West India Company. His name was on the muster roll on March 28, 1660.
By June 1661, he was a civilian and petitioned for his passage money to New Netherland as a discharged soldier.
He was in Wiltwyck (later Kingston) by 1662. He was last found in Wiltwick, NY in December 1663 in court records. In 1664, he moved to New York City and married Appolonia Kool on October 19, daughter of Barrent Jacobsen Kool, a prominent officer of the Dutch West India Company of Amsterdam.
On February 1, 1673, William Darvall sold him a house and lot on Heere Street. Later that year, the council of New York decided that Fort Willem Hendrick and the city had too many houses and gardens close to the walls and bulwarks, including that of Willem. He was ordered to tear his house down. In October 1678, he sold his house and lot.
By October 29, 1679, Willem returned to Wiltwick because records show there is a lot between a barn and Willem Van Vredenbrock's mill. In a deposition made on March 29, 1684, he stated that he was about 46 years old. Willem was still alive in 1704 because he and his son Willem Jr. both appear on a jury list in Ulster County, NY.
